(As Bella would say) Holy crow!

Nice. Veryy nice.

Okay, well to answer any questions that may obtain to the future-Read and find out.

Hehe. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what will happen in the story.

Then that'll just ruin it!

And I lovee surprises!

Sorry if my stories are short and I don't update much but trust me when I say this-whenever I have spare time, I come to the computer and write as much as I can. Besides that I have work and homework and school. Ugh-pointless things. All I need is my writing and I'll me happy. Usually on the weekends if you've noticed I tend to write more so yea hehe.

Anywayy, where were we?

Oh yes-Jacob.

Chapter 16-

My foot tapped nervously on the hardwood floor of the food court as I awaited Jake's arrival.

This was so sudden I hadn't even had time to soak it all in.

Especially Edward.

Wait, what if I was just another one of his whores? I cringed-even as I thought the word. Was he really worth it? Was he going to throw me to the side when he got bored and move on?

Why now? Why me?

There were no guarantees. That was for sure.

Edward steadied my leg firmly with his hand and whispered in my ear. "Calm down Bella. It's like a band aid. Do it fast and you won't feel a thing."

I took a deep breath and slowed the pace of my knee.

I looked across the table to see Alice looking at me and Edward suspiciously.

She then shrugged, figuring she would find out soon.

"Bella!" I heard Jacob call and looked up to see his dark face hovering over the people who were half his size.

I waved shyly and stood up, watching him make his way closer to me.

He was only a foot away now and had his arms extended.

Should I shove him away when he tried to kiss me? No, that would hurt his feelings.

But Edward would be watching.

Jacob made the decision for me and closed the small space-wrapping his arms around me and crushing his lips slowly onto mine but pulling away quickly-aware of others present.

"Hi," I said quietly. I turned to Edward to see his expression a bit disturbed.

"What's up guys?" Jake said, sitting next to Edward-who shifted a bit away from him.

"Not much," Edward was the one to answer. "What about you, Bella?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

I gulped. I was clearly not ready to tell Jacob anything-anytime soon. "Same."

"Coool." Jacob said, noticing the awkwardness. "So did you guys get anything?"

This was a rhetorical question considering Jake was looking at the tons of shopping backs that took up an entire two chairs.

"Yup!" Alice answered. "I think I may have converted Bella into a shopaholic."

I laughed nervously. "I doubt that."

Alice was telling Jasper about what she bought and Jake turned to me and smiled. "I missed you today."

"Yea, me too," I said, looking down-avoiding Edward's harsh glare.

"I wanted you to come over today, you know, after this." His smile became wider. "My dad's not home."

Edward coughed loudly.

"Oh cool," I croaked.

"You okay Bella?" Jake asked. "You seem, uneasy."

"Or guilty," Edward muttered.

I answered both of them. "No, I'm fine."

Alice stood up suddenly that made my uptight-self jump in response.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper asked, worried.

"Oh crud! Shoot, oh no!" She said while gathering all of the shopping bags and speaking quickly. "I promised Rosalie I would help her get ready for her date with Emmett-it's their two year! How could I forget?" She said, smacking her forehead.

Everyone just sat there, not sure what to do.

"Well! Don't just sit there, guys! We have to go." She said, meeting each of our confused glazes once then because pacing ahead of us.

Jasper went to catch up with Alice, not noticing that Edward was the one driving and he was taking his sweet time-walking beside Jacob and me.

"So, Bella," Jacob started, "are you coming over?" He looked at me with anxious eyes that were so innocent.

I couldn't break his heart.

Not now.

"Yea, sure Jake." I smiled. "I'll come over."

I looked over at Edward who was watching us intently.

It was all his fault anyway.

Stupid Edward.

Stupid gorgeous and charming Edward.

Yes, it was his fault.

Because he was so amazing.

So incredible.

So irresistible.
