LILY's pov
About an hour later Jacob came over.
"I'm sorry you had to leave earlier", he said
"no, its no problem", I assured him
"did you miss me?, he asked teasingly
"actually I didn't ", I said smiling
His face suddenly got serious. Did I hurt his feelings?, well I didn't mean to .
" I'm kidding dude, don't be a cry-baby on me, you know I love you", I said laughing
"you LOVE me?", he asked with this huge grin on his face
"Oh shut-up Jake, you know what I mean" , I said
He then grabbed me in a bear hug.
"hey, don't we have homework", I asked , still in the bear hug
"um, yeah I think for biology", he said
"oh shit, I haven't started yet", I panicked
"you're such a nerd", he joked
"whatever", I said
" I think you should get yourself home and do it then young man", I teased him
" so you're sending me home", he said grinning
"yep I am", I smiled
"Well bye then, I'm gonna go do my homework", he said
"good boy", I teased
Out of the blue Jake grabbed me in another bear hug.
"you're gonna have to start warning me when you're gonna do that", I could barely say, since he was cutting off my circulation.
" see ya ", I said , finally out of the hug
"Oh and Lily , I love you too", he said grinning.
"you're never gonna stop teasing me about that aren't you", I laughed
"nope , never… Bye Miss you", he said smiling
"Bye Jake ", I said as I followed him to the door.
After Jake left I decided to go do my homework , then make dinner cause dad should be home soon, The incident at the supermarket still lingered on my mind,but I tried my very best to not think about it, maybe it was just a mistake, or was it ?.....
Jacobs' PoV
Well since Lily had sent me home to go do my homework, I decided that I'll actually do it. I couldn't help smiling all the way home , I was just happy whenever I was around her, and she loved me too!, maybe not like how I loved her, but atleast she loved me!
When I got home , I heard the phone ring, and I was surprised because it was Edward, why the hell was he of all people calling me?
Well it turned out that someone was after Bella, and they were in her house!
I immediately went over to check things out . Bella was still my friend and I didn't want anyone to harm her. When I got there I knocked on the door.
"Come in, Jake!" ,Bella shouted
"Should you really leave your door unlocked like that?",I asked ,
I'd jumped her
"Oh, sorry.", I said now realizing I had scared her
She'd slopped herself with the dishwater when she jumped
"I'm not worried about anyone who would be deterred by a locked door," Bella said as she wiped herself off with a dish towel
"Good point," I agreed.
"Is it really so impossible to wear clothes, Jacob?", she asked.
Well I was just wearing a pair of old cut-off jeans. I didn't know me being bare-chested bothered her.
"I mean, I know you don't get cold
anymore, but still.", she said
"It's just easier," I explained.
"What's easier?" she asked
"It's enough of a pain to carry the shorts around with me, let alone a
complete outfit. What do I look like, a pack mule?", I joked
"What are you talking about, Jacob?", she frowned
. "My clothes don't just pop in and
out of existence when I change — I have to carry them with me while I run. Pardon me for keeping myburden light.", I told her smiling, I think I saw her blush.
"I guess I didn't think about that,"she muttered.
I laughed and pointed to a black leather cord, thin as a strand of yarn, that was wound three times below my left calf like an anklet.
. "That's more than just a fashion statement — it sucks to carry jeans in your mouth.", she frowned
"Does my being half-naked bother you?", I asked , with a huge grin
"No." she replied with a blush on her face, I hope I wasn't giving her the wrong impression
She told me that the intruders scent was strongest in her bedroom , so I went to check it out.
"Whew!", I said as I came back to the kitchen with Bella, I'd startled her again
"Yeesh, Jake, cut that out!"
"Sorry", I said
"Well, the scent was easy enough to catch. By the way, your room reeks."
"I'll buy some air freshener."she said
I laughed.
She washed and I dried in companionable silence for a few minutes.
Bella's POv
"Can I ask you something?", I said
"yea sure", Jacob replied
"are you and Lily a couple?" , I asked trying to hide the worry in my face
"well , I wish" ,he replied
"whats so special about her then", I couldn't help but ask
" everything, she's my imprint"
"imprint?"
"I mean . . . my soul mate."
"how do you know that ?", I asked annoyed
"its an old legend , really hard to explain, its like love at first sight"
I didn't know what to say, why was I jealous?, well its not like I didn't love Edward ..it was that I didn't want Jacob to have anyone else, yeah I know that's selfish , but that's just how I felt , soul mate or no soul mate , I had made up my mind I didn't want Jacob to be with anyone else…. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"Hey Bella, I really have to go now, see you later , Bye", Jake said
" OK Bye"
