Chapter 14-

'Good Morning soldier,' I greeted Jasper with a wink and he looked away red faced. I wanted to feel bad but I was in just too good of a mood to care. I went back to reading my news paper where i read about a string of attacks in the local area.

'Hey Jasper have you heard about these attacks?' I said drawing his attention to the huge two page article in the newspaper I was reading. He came and peered over my shoulder and read with me.

'That's pretty bad,' he commented sipping his coffee (which he had now learned to brew). 'Just for safety sake I think you, Alice and Rosalie should all make sure your accompanied by one of us when you're out at night,' I nodded in agreeance. It was the bonus of having three fit males living with you. Alice came over to where we were reading and sat down beside me. I looked up from my paper and winked at her. She merely smiled. I had heard all the dirty bedroom secrets from both Rosalie and Alice's sex life so it was nothing to bad.

'So what made you skip into my room last night without consideration?' she asked nudging me. Jasper sat dutifully next to her and placed his hand on her thigh.

'Jacob asked me out on a lunch date today and i was wondering if you could dress me and make me look all pretty,' i said in a high pitched over the top girly tone. She laughed and clapped her hands together.

'ITS LIKE CHRISTMAS!' she squealed and grabbed my hand and dragged me off toward the bathroom.

10 minutes later.

I sat in the bathroom as Alice prepared me in every way possible when we heard a soft knock at the door. Alice told them to come in. It was Emmet holding a large bunch of wild flowers with a big love heart balloon in the top reading 'BELLA'. I gasped as he handed me a card.

'To my Bella Bug, Will you join me for lunch at 12pm at the Eclipse Bar? Love J' (A/N that one is going to become a regular I think, it just sounds cool. In fact i think i want to go to the Eclipse bar...hmmm) I smiled and Emmet handed me my phone.

'Anywhere you are, ill be there waiting,' I replied in response to his card. Alice shooed Emmet out of the room and began primping me and gasbagging about how cute Jacob was. For the first time in my life i felt like a real girly girl.

Alice had made me look so nice, but not over the top. She had pinned my hair up in a loose bun, my make up was simple yet classy and she got me to wear a pair of dark jeans, a white shirt and a brown leather jacket. To say the least, I felt cool. I slung my bag over my shoulder and got wished luck by everyone.

The Eclipse Bar wasn't far from our apartment and it was heavily populated. I knew that Jaspers rule of a guardian didn't apply here. I made my way through the crowded streets. I could see the Eclipse bar across the road and went to cross. I accidently bumped into someone and knocked the drink out of their hand. I turned to apologise to them. It was a man. I appeared quite old. He had long greasy blonde hair slicked back into a pony tail. He looked dirty and he scared me a little bit as he smiled.

'I'm sorry, ill buy you another,' I could see by the cup on the floor that it was from the Eclipse Bar. He held out his hand for a hand shake and i grimaced inside. I felt bad for spilling his drink but my instinct told me to run.

'James,' he introduced and shook his hand and nodded not telling him my name. We walked over tho the bar and i ordered him a fresh drink. He accepted it and walked away, not stopping looking at me. A cold chill ran down my back as i sat at a table and waited, nervously to see Jacob again. I sat for ten minutes (i was already 20mins early) when i saw Jacobs head pop in front of mine. I grinned. He kissed me on the cheek and sat opposite me.

'How are you today Bella,' he asked grasping my hands and staring deeply into my eyes. I could now get a feel of who he was from his clothes. He wore grease stained jeans and a shirt that had a little hole in the arm. Normally this would put me off, someone being so scrappily dressed, however for Jacob, it just appealed to me more.

'I'm well, the flowers certainly helped my mood and the fact that i got to see you today also encouraged me to be happy,' I said as i rubbed circles with my thumb on the back of his hand.

'and how is Jacob?' I asked not able to look away from his eyes. He nodded and smiled his beautiful smile.

'I'm happy that your happy. But I'm hungry and suggest we order food,' He let go of my hand and grabbed a menu. I smiled and grabbed one as well. I felt comfortable around Jacob. It was nice to have someone. After looking at the menu for a few minutes Jacob announced he was going to have the steak with an extra order of chips.

'I think I'm just going to have the salad,' i said remembering my binge from the night before. Jacob raised an eye brow.

'Why? It contains no flavour and no meat!' he commented. I could tell he assumed i was one of these girls who are always worrying about their weight. I was not. I was extremely lucky that my metabolism agreed with me. Rosalie often cursed me and Alice for our metabolisms. I never gained weight and with the little amount i exercised and the huge amount i ate, this was a good thing. If it wasn't the case Jacob would have needed to hire a forklift to have taken me on this date.

'Bella, eat some real food. You look great!' he said gesturing to my body. I laughed.

'Oh no, its not like that. I'm actually not very hungry, me and the girls had a huge binge last night and I'm still recovering,' I patted my stomach as i went.

'Okay then, just promise me you'll have some chips as well,' he smiled and i nodded. He didn't know me well at all. I already had the master plan of pinching some. The waiter came over and i recognised him from one of my classes. Mike Newton. He was always so nervous.

'How can I help you today?' He said not looking up from his notepad. Jacob put his order in and looked at me.

'Oh, i'll have the Greek salad and a coke,' I said setting my menu carefully down on the table. Mike looked up from his pad.

'Oh, Bella. Hi how are you?' he said now leaning on the table blocking Jacob from view. I could hear his snicker.

'I'm good Mike, and you?' i asked politely secretly just wanting him to leave so i could be with my Jacob.

'Yeah I'm good, I'm working hard so I can buy a car,' he said waiting for my response to his car comment. I nodded and smiled. He stared for a few seconds when Jacob cleared his throat.

'Would you like me to leave you two alone?' he commented standing and indicating for Mike to sit down. Mike snapped back too.

'Oh, no I'm sorry, I'll get your orders!' he said nervously and then left.

'Well at least i know that if I'm not in the picture you'll have that little hottie to run too,' he laughed pretending to check out Mike's buttocks. I laughed. I hated to sound like Rosalie, especially on a second date, but I think I could marry this man.

Okay, i'm going to get this out here. I am neither Team Edward or Team Jacob (cos im to lazy to decide for myself) but I HATE it when fan fic people are really mean and portray Jacob as the bad guy. I think its time to give him a fair go, but not to necessarily let him win Bella. What do you think? Oh and don't forget to review. ;)
