I didn't get that many reviews but tons of alerts and favorites. So thanks!
Btw Edward is a jerk and is really confused at this point. You'll just have to read more to find out.
Moving on…
Chapter 11-
When Tanya and I got back to the table, I didn't like the expressions I was looking at.
Jacob looked uneasy and Edward looked pleased.
Jake hesitantly stood up to let me sit down. When Tanya sat down, Edward immediately went for her mouth.
Beside me, Jake played with his fork nervously.
"What's wrong?"I asked, more curious than concerned.
Jake turned to me and didn't even try to give me a fake smile. "Did you kiss Edward?"
Edward pulled himself off Tanya faster than I could blink. I heard a small 'ooph' come from her.
So that's what they were talking about. I should've known.
I turned to Edward and gave him one of the nastiest looks I had inside me.
It looked like he was trying to suppress a smile but was still shocked that Jake was so upfront.
"No," I said not convincingly-Jacob wasn't buying it. "I mean sort of. On the cheek. But that's it. It was nothing. I can't believe you believed him."
"But he was right," Jake said a little icily.
"Yea, but he made it seem like a big deal. Which it's not." I softened my voice now. "Jake, you're the only one I like."
He smiled and leaned in to give me a long kiss. Which I enjoyed very much. It might have been that Jake was becoming a great kisser or that Edward's plan didn't work.
I pulled away and saw in my peripheral vision that Edward was watching us. I turned to look at him while leaning my head against Jake's shoulder.
I didn't bother trying to recognize his unreadable expression so I just snuggled closer to Jacob and closed my eyes, drowning out Tanya's voice.

The food finally came after what seemed like four hours and everyone began digging in. I didn't notice how hungry I was, aside from the sounds my stomach was making.
Everyone was pretty quiet while we were eating. Apparently the food took longer than expected. Even Tanya was surprised at how slow the service was-and a bit embarrassed, which I enjoyed a little more than I should.
When it came time for dessert, I was too full from dinner and Jake decided not to get anything. Tanya and Edward settled on sharing a piece of strawberry cheesecake.
"So, Tanya," I said while we were waiting for their dessert, "how long have you and Edward been going out?"
"Eighteen hours," she said happily, as if this were some sort of accomplishment.
"Oh," I said, laughing a tiny bit and Edward scowled at me.
"That reminds me," Jake said, excited. "I wanted to take you to the movies tomorrow, Bella." He smiled.
I felt a little nudge under the table. I knew it was Edward but didn't bother looking at him since I thought it was an accident. But I felt it again, just as I was beginning to answer Jake.
"Bella?" Jake asked. "Can you go?"
Clank!
"Oops," Edward said calmly, "dropped my fork." He disappeared under the table and I felt a small pinch on my shin.
"Ow!" I said a bit too loud since people were starting to look over at us.
"Sorry," Edward said smugly, appearing from under the table.
I turned back to Jacob, annoyed. "I really want to," I said sincerely, "but I promised Alice that I would go shopping with her. Well I actually never discussed it with her-she just sort of planned it."
He frowned. "Oh, okay." He smiled. "Maybe Sunday then."
"Of course," I said giving him a kiss on the cheek to show how endearing he was.
I heard Edward let out a cough that sounded a bit forced. Then he nudged me again, but when I looked at him, he was looking at Tanya as if his legs have a mind of its own.
The waitress then came with the huge slice of cheesecake and two forks.
They began feeding each other pieces of the cake and Jake and I were just watching them.
Jake noticed how awkward this felt and craned his head to kiss my neck gently. He pulled me closer so that I was nearly on his lap and continued placing kisses all over me. On my lips, my neck, the hollow in between my shoulder blade and collarbone. I was enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. I still had my eyes closed as Jake was nuzzling his head in my neck but opened them to see if anyone noticed.
Tanya was sticking her finger in the cake and Edward was watching her but at that second, he glanced over to us-as if he'd been doing it for a while-caught my eye and smirked. He grabbed Tanya's hand and brought her finger to his mouth, looking at her seductively.
I just closed my eyes again, not being able to look at them anymore.
I felt another nudge under the table and I nudged back-a warning to stop.
I heard a giggle and my eyes flew open.
Tanya was practically undressing Edward with her eyes and one of his hands disappeared and was under the table. Edward leaned into her ear and whispered something. As he was doing this, Tanya giggled even louder but Edward looked at me and winked. Then I felt another nudge.
I wasn't really sure of what was happening. Was I making out with my boyfriend and playing footsies with Edward at the same time?
I felt dirty all of a sudden. Like some sort of whore. Like a Lauren, or the brunette, or…Tanya.
I gently pulled Jake off me and he looked confused. Edward pulled away from Tanya at the same time and began feeding himself.
"I think we should get the check now," I said quietly.
"I own this place so we don't pay for anything," Tanya said-laughing at me.
I saw Edward shoot her a look but began laughing with her too.
I rolled my eyes and looked to Jacob for comfort-who just rolled his eyes too and got out of the booth.
The cool breeze ruffled my hair when we got outside and it felt refreshing. I felt clean now.
"TANYA!" I heard an angry and manly voice yell from behind us.
Tanya grunted, knowing who it was right away. "What do you want dad?" She said turning around.
"There is NO way that you're leaving here right now! It is a Friday night and we need all the help we can get!" He said, closer now. "Get in here!"
"But I was going to Ed-"
"NOW," he interrupted.
Her dad went back inside and Tanya turned unwillingly to Edward, biting her lip. He didn't look too disappointed-a little bit scared from her father maybe.
"I'm sorry baby," she said entwining her fingers with his. "I promise I'll make time for you later on." She winked.
He had an uneasy smile but leaned in to kiss her anyway. She seemed to get carried away so he pulled away and said their goodbyes.
"It was nice meeting you Bella," Tanya smiled to me. "Hopefully we get to do this again."
I heard Edward snicker but ignored him.
"Yea, definitely."
We waved bye to her and there was a short awkward silence. Now it was just me, Jake, and Edward.
"Uhm, Edward," Jake said, "I have to go get some parts for my bike before it completely gives out on me again. So do you mind taking Bella home?"
I hated it how he never asked me what I wanted.
"No problem," Edward smirked and looked at me.
"No thanks," I shot back, and then turned to Jake. "I'll go with you," I said holding his hand.
I saw that Edward turned away; being that this is not his place.
Jake smiled but it faded soon after. "I would love to show you how I work," he hesitated. "But it's getting dark and I don't know how long I'm gonna take."
I looked down and he cupped my face in his hands so I could look at him. "Besides, maybe I can see you after your shopping trip." He leaned down and kissed me a little hard, as if he didn't want to leave. But pulled away and gave Edward a stern look.
"I'll see you later Bells." He hugged me one more time and left on his loud motorcycle.
I sighed, watching him disappear-getting smaller and smaller.
--
A/N-Yes you will be able to see the car ride home with Bella and Edward.
This chapter was running a tad long and that is nott my style.
So I'm gonna start writing it like now.
More reviews please.
I don't get as many as before :(
