Disclaimer: I wish that I owned Twilight, but I sadly do not.... not even a little bit! :(
Previously:
"There isn't anything about her not to love. So I guess I totally understand. I really love her and if she isn't happy with me then there is no way I could be happy. I just want what she wants." I honestly say
"I still love you, man. Even though you are my strongest competition." Ed says
"Diddo, man. Now that the gay moment is over. I'm going to bed."
"Night, Jackie."
I laugh and turn off my light and go to bed.
Chapter 12
Edward's POV
School started about a month ago. Bella and I are moving in a positive direction, I can feel that she is starting to have feelings for me. Jake and I are still good friends, but he knows that I am going to get Bella in the end, and that makes our relationship a little strained.
I walk inside our apartment after I get done with my last class for the day, and smell something delicious.
I walk into the kitchen and see that Bella is cooking. "I thought tonight was Jake's turn to cook?" I say to her
"Well, I wasn't in the mood for crackers and ketchup for dinner." she yells so that Jake can hear her.
"Don't forget I was going to put some cheese on them too." he yelled from the living room
"Bella...... I wanted to ask you something?" I say shyly
She nods her head so that I will continue. "I know that we live together and this will sound weird but....... I was wondering if you would...... goonadatewithme."The last part I rush out of my mouth.
"Come again?" Bella said
"Go on a date with me?" I say quietly not looking her in the eyes.
"Okay..... but I don't want it to be awkward.... Deal."
She always amazes me. I was prepared for her to say no, not yes. "Deal." I say "When do you want to go?"
"Well I have classes every night this week, but I am open this weekend."
It's really going to happen! "Great.... I will pick you up at 7 on Saturday then?"
She laughs and nods her head. "Dinner's ready" she calls to Jake.
We all sit at the kitchen table eating. It is kind of an uncomfortable silence.
"Ed, let's make a bet. Who ever can make the best dinner tomorrow wins. Bella is the judge."
He know that I can't turn down a dare. Never have. "Okay..... usual wager?" What will I cook? Chicken Parmesan? I will call my mom tonight.
"Yeah, but let's spice it up. Loser has to wear a bikini." Jake says
"A bikini?" I ask and Bella laughs
"Yeah! I get to be judge!" she squealed "Who wants to kiss up to the judge and rub her feet tonight?" she teased
"I will do it!" Jake says hopping out of his seat with his arm raised.
"Okay Jakie, you get to rub my feet!" she says basking in the love.
Bella's POV
Jake true to his word is sitting on the opposite end of the couch rubbing my feet.
"Bells, what should I cook tomorrow?" he wants a hint....
I got one! "Don't do anything with crackers." I say and he gives me a devilish smile. I wonder what he is planning? I hope he doesn't throw the bet just to make me try crackers with ketchup. I know that he loves wearing girl clothes but does he like it that much. I start laughing at my own joke. Jake gives me a concerned look.
"It's nothing Jake..... just thought of something funny." I say and he let's it drop at that.
We sit there in silence, but a comfortable silence. Filially I look up and almost drown in his eyes. Where they always so brown? Was Jake always so beautiful? Huh? Where has my mind gone to? This is Jake.
I shake my head trying to get the thoughts of Jake with his shirt off out of my head. I look at him again and blush. He's gonna know something is up. "Umm... I am gonna go to bed." I say not looking up
"Night Bells" and he wraps me up in a tight hug. Wow, Jake's skin is so hot. I can't help but to not want him to let go. I don't know what is wrong with me today.
I pull away and walk fast into my room and shut the door and crawl under my blankets. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to sleep but I tried to close my eyes and just let sleep come.
Jacob's POV
"It's nothing Jake.... just thought of something funny" she says and I let it drop trying to not embarrass her.
It was quiet for a moment when Bella looks into my eyes. I refused to turn away. I stair right into her eyes and straight to her angelic soul. We just look at each other for a moment when I see that her cheeks have suddenly a lot of color. I knew that blush was for me. I am so happy, I have waited a long time for that.
I see her shake her head then get up and say "Umm.... I am gonna go to bed." not looking up. I knew why. She was thinking about me out of the friend zone.
I stand up and say good night to her and wrap my arms around her. I feel her wrap her arms around my naked torso and felt her cheek resting on my chest. We stayed like that for what could have been hours but was probably only minutes before she let go and almost ran into her room.
I turned the t.v on just sat on the couch fantasizing about what will happen next. Does that mean I have a chance? I thought she was leaning towards Ed but I wasn't prepared to give up. I knew this day would come. The day when she shyly blushed for me. What do I do next?
Okay, I want to know what you guys think. Who should she be with? I want a couple of reviews before I post the next chapter. I kind of know what will happen but I want to know what you think should happen. Please review!
