Chapter 3

The next day Bella awoke before Edward. She showered and dressed before heading downstairs.

"Jacob's asleep on the couch" said Esme.

"Okay" said Bella heading toward the kitchen.

"So Edward knows now?" asked Shelly.

"Yeah it all went down last night. And Edward and I are good for now" said Bella.

"Well thats good. You hungry?" asked Shelly placing a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast in front of her.

"You know that I'm always hungry" said Bella digging in. She as about done when Jacob walked in.

"Hey sleepy head. You hungry? Shelly is the best damn cook I've ever met" said Bella.

"Thanks. Hows everything between you and Edward?" asked Jacob.

"Okay for no" said Bella.

"Hi Mom. Jacob" said Renesme suddenly nervous.

"Are you okay honey?" asked Bella noticing her shifty eyes and weird boy language.

"I'm fine just late. Bye" said Renesme grabbing some toast and running out.

"I wonder whats up her butt" said Bella with a shrug. She didn't see the look that passed Jacob's face.

"Jacob whats going to happen between us?" asked Bella.

"Well considering our situation we'll always be in each others lives. And we can be friends" said Jacob.

"Friends? I don't do friends well" said Bella.

"What about the ladies from your Lamaze class?" asked Shelly.

"Yeah. Rose McCarty and Alice Hale. They are my friends. But its different with them" said Bella.

"You should invite them to dinner tonight. Something light and casual" said Shelly starting to pull out a bunch of ingredients.

"Okay. That sounds good. Jacob be here at 7" said Bella leaving the room with her cell in hand.

"Hello?" answered Rose.

"Hey Rose. Its Isabella. Do you and Emmett ant to come to dinner? I'm going to invite Alice too" said Bella.

"I have Alice here with me and we both would like to go. What time?" asked Rose.

"7 o'clock. I'll text you the address and you can pass it on to Alice" said Bella.

"Alright Isabella. Bye" said Rose and hung up.

"Be home for dinner at 7. Were having guests over" said Bella as Edward walked by.

"Who?" asked Edward stopping to look at her.

"My friends" said Bella.

"What friends?" asked Edward.

"I'll take that as an insult" said Bella hitting him in the chest.

"Ow. I didn't mean it like that" said Edward kissing her and leaving.

"I'll be back later" said Bella to Esme before leaving. She drove to the mall and bought herself, Renesme, and Shelly a new outfit. After she grabbed a coolata from Dunking Donuts before heading home. When she got there she found Jakes car gone.

"Your back. What'd you get?" asked Shelly.

"I got you something" said Bella pulling out some clothes.

"You should have" said Shelly.

"Its nothing really. Its so you'll look good when your serving the food and make your appearance" said Bella.

"I really cant accept this" said Shelly.

"Its a gift from me to you" said Bella.

"Oh fine" said Shelly smiling as she headed back to her room which was behind the kitchen. Bella rolled her eyes and headed up to Renesme's room.

"Hey sweetie. How was school today?" Asked Bella.

"Okay there was fight in my class between a fat and skinny girl" said Renesme.

"What happened?" asked Bella.

"The skinny one won" said Renesme.

"When I was your age I was the one doing the fighting" said Bella.

"Have you always been like that?" asked Renesme.

"Yeah. Girls have always hated me. And guys have always wanted to sleep with me" said Bella.

"How old were you when you lost you virginity?" asked Renesme.

"I was 13 years old. So are there any guys in your class your interested in?" asked Bella.

"There is this guy but he's not in my class. He's really cute and funny but I don't know if he likes me" said Renesme.

"He'd have to be blind or stupid not to like you back" said Bella.

"What about older?" asked Renesme.

"Isabella! There's an Alice Hale here to see you" called Esme.

"We'll talk later" said Bella heading downstairs.

"Izzy! I know its not time but I was wondering what should I bring?" asked Alice.

"You don't have to bring anything. Shelly is taking care of it. How did you get here?" asked Bella.

"Jasper. He's out in the car" said Alice.

"You should have invited him in" said Bella.

"Its okay this was just a quick stop. I'll bring a cake" said Alice kissing Bella on the cheek before leaving.

"She is something else" said Esme.

"She is. But I love her anyways" said Bella with a smile.

"Jacob called. He said he might be late" said Esme.

"Alright" said Bella heading to the kitchen.

"Renesme just snuck by me and headed outside. She's in one of the trees" said Shelly.

"Oh. She's kinda down today. She has a crush on a guy whose older than her" said Bella.

"Poor girl. I remember being her age" said Bella.

"Same here. Seems like it was so long ago" said Bella.

"For me it was" said Shelly with a smile. Bella rolled her eyes and headed out.

"Renesme?" called Bella.

"Up here" said Renesme. Bella stopped and looked up. She found Renesme hanging from a branch.

"I would climb up there but I'm to fat" said Bella.

"Your not fat" said Renesme climbing down.

"So whose this guy that you like?" asked Bella sitting down at the base of the tree.

"You promise you wont get mad or yell" said Renesme.

"I won't get mad. And yelling isn't my thing. Plus I totally understand. I used to date guys that were like 30 years old and I was only 14" said Bella.

"Okay. Its.. Um.... Its Jacob" said Renesme just spitting it out.

"So thats why you were acting so weird this morning" said Bella.

"Yeah. I just don't know how to act around him. Its so weird. What do you think I should do?" asked Renesme.

"I don't know. I don't know how he feels about you. But I say that you should flirt with him and put a message out there that you like him and see what he does. See if you can get some sort of reaction out of him" said Bella.

"I guess. But I don't know how" said Reneseme.

"Be yourself. Don't try to be something your not. He'll like you for you not who you pretend to be. And here's his number. Text him" said Bella putting the number into her phone. "Just have fun and don't worry. Everything will work out"

"Thanks mom. I'm going to take your advice" said Renesme running inside. Bella sighed and stood up slowly.

"I'm way to fat for this" muttered Bella as she went inside.

"What'd you say to her? She ran in here with a huge grin on her face" said Shelly.

"I just gave her some advice as to how to get her man" said Bella.

"Do you think it'll work?" asked Shelly.

"It worked for me" said Bella with a wink. Bella was all over the place getting everything ready for the dinner. At 6:30 she slipped into faded jeans, a fancy shirt which fell over her stomach, and cute flats.

"I knew those clothes would look good at you" said Bella.

"Thanks mom. Jacob will totally freak when he sees me. Just promise you wont tell Dad" said Renesme.

"Don't tell Dad what?" asked Edward.

"That I love you" said Renesme kissing him on the cheek before running out.

"What was that about?" asked Edward.

"Its a girl thing" said Bella leading the way to their room. She helped him dress before heading downstairs.

"Everything's ready. I'll start serving when you let me know" said Shelly.

"Okay. Make sure you set Jacob's place in front of Renesme and than set everbody around that" said Bella.

"Alright" said Shelly.

"You did a good job tonight. I thought I was going to have to cut in and help you" said Esme.

"Thanks?" said Bella.

"Your welcome" said Esme walking away. Bella rolled her eyes. At exactly 7 the doorbell rang.

"Am I on time?" asked Alice taking off her jacket to reveal a skirt, heels, and a cute shirt.

"It just turned 7 when you rang the doorbell. Your exactly on time" said Bella laughing.

"See I told you honey" said Jasper wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Hey guys" said Rose walking in, in all her pregnant glory. She had to be the one out of all of them who looked good pregnant. Behind her was big burly Emmett.

"Glad you could make it" said Bella hugging Rose.

"How we say no Izzy" said Emmett crushing her up against him.

"Careful of my stomach" said Bella.

"Right" said Emmett placing her down on the floor.

"Guys this is my husband Emmett and mother in law Esme" said Bella.

"The too busy to be with his wife husband" said Rose.

"Rose" said Alice.

"Its alright. She's right" said Edward. Bella stopped and looked at what him. She couldn't believe that had just come out of his mouth.

"Dinner's ready" said Shelly interrupting the awkward silence.

"You can all follow me" said Esme leading the way to the dinning room.

"Renesme this is Rose and Emmett and Alice and Jasper" said Bella.

"Nice too meet you guys" said Renesme.

"Its a mini Izzy" said Emmett in his big booming voice.

"Your going to scare her. Don't pay attention to him" said Rose glaring at her husband.

"Its alright. He's not really scary" said Renesme.

"Aw you hurt my feelings" said Emmett putting on a fake sad face. He couldn't hold it for long before he burst out laughing. They all sat down as Shelly began to pass out plates of food.

"Mom. Is Jacob coming?" whispered Renesme.

"He said he'll be a bit late" whispered Bella. About 20 minutes later Jacob walked in.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to take care of somethings at work" said Jacob sitting and accepting the plate of food that Shelly was giving him.

"I wasn't aware we were missing anybody" said Rose in her snooty voice.

"I'm pretty sure deep down you knew" said Jacob with a wink before digging into his food. Emmett couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm sorry darling but he's funny" said Emmett to Rose who was glaring at him. "I'm Emmett" he said putting out his hand.

"Jacob" he said shaking his hand. The rest of the dinner when by smoothly with Renesme watching Jacob and Jacob avoiding her eyes. When everybody finished they all headed to the living room.

"Do you mind if put on the game?" asked Emmett.

"Not at all. I was just about to do that too" said Bella.

"You watch sports?" asked Jasper shocked.

"Hell yeah. How else do I entertain myself in this big and boring house" said Bella.

"Whoo. Go Izzy" said Emmett. Everybody sat and talked as they watched the game.

"Well Izzy. I need to get this pretty lady home and into bed" said Emmett with a wink.

"Oh shut up" said Rose standing. Bella stood also and lead them out.

"Were going to go also. Thanks for inviting us" said Alice hugging Bella before heading out. After they were gone Bella grabbed Edwards hand and left Renesme and Jacob alone.

"Um.. Yeah... I'll see you tomorrow" said Renesme leaving the living room and heading to the stairs.

"Wait" said Jacob grabbing her arm and pulling her into the library.

"What are you doing to me? You and all of you flirting and teasing" said Jacob cornering her.

"I don't know what your talking about" said Renesme.

"Don't you. You and your flimsy shirt, and your bare feet casually touching me under the table. And your eyes on me" said Jacob his breath coming fast.

"I—I don't know" said Renesme her eyes big and starring.

"What do you want from me?" asked Jacob.

"You? Nothing" said Renesme.

"Really. Absolutely nothing?" asked Jacob.

"Yes" said Renesme her voice quivering.

"So if I kissed you it would mean nothing" said Jacob.

"Yes" she said. Jacob looked at her. Her hair was falling out of the knot she had put it in. Her lips were red and full. He leaned in closer.

"Tell mo no and I'll stop" said Jacob.

"I cant" said Renesme moving closer. Jacob pressed his lips against her. She moved herself closer to him until their bodies touched everywhere. Her hands wrapped themselves around his neck where they played with the hair that curled there. She let her instincts take over. Jacob groaned at the feel of her body against his. He pulled back and let his forehead rest against hers.

"I'm sorry that shouldn't have happened" said Jacob moving away.

"Why?" asked Renesme.

"I'm too old for you. Our situation is an impossible one" said Jacob.

"How can you say that?" asked Renesme.

"Because its true. If your mother or Edward knew they would kill me" said Jacob.

"If my mom wanted to kill you she wouldn't have given me advice as to how to flirt with you" said Renesme before she stormed out of the room.
