BPOW.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Really, what was he thinking? My dad had just died and then... THIS! I fumbled with the small box wondering what to say or do. I paced my bedroom for so long I lost track of time. I swear I had worn away the carpet underneath my feet. Then a bang came from the front door downstairs. I jumped. My heart racing just at the thought of him. I rushed out of my room and down the stairs to find... Jacob?
"What are you doing here?" I questioned.
"Nice to see you to." He replied.
"Sorry Jacob, it was I wasn't expecting you, and I was just about to get in the shower..."
"Don't mind me" he winked.
"Jacob, that's disgusting!" I exclaimed.
"Haha, I would say sorry but I'm not!" he gave me a dirty grin.
"Well, I suppose we can talk for a while." I spoke, then realising I was still holding the small box.
"What's that in your hands?" Jacob questioned.
"Oh, nothing, just an old earring box. I'm just going to put it upstairs, ok?"
"Hmm, ok then." Jacob spoke like he didn't believe me. He shouldn't.
I walked back upstairs and into my tidy room. I placed the box on the bed and walked back down the stairs. Jacob had casually put himself across the sofa.
"What do you want Jacob?" I questioned, because he usually phoned before he came over. But, today he hadn't.
"Nothing, just a good old chin-wag with the beautiful Bella." I felt my cheeks blush at his comment. I did love Jacob, but just not as much as Edward.
"Ok then, what about?" I asked, trying to hide my blushing cheeks. He sat up, and his expression had changed.
"Bella, how are you holding up? Me and Billy, were worried." My head began to spin, my eyes filled up and I knew I was about to let everything out which I had held in for the last hour. That's when the tears started.
"BELLA, I didn't mean to make you cry. Come here." He came over to me and embraced me in one of his wolf hugs. I leaned into him, holding him close. I felt his hand begin to stroke the back of my head. I continued to cry hysterically for another twenty minutes. He held me the whole time. Comforting me: my best friend. After the twenty minutes I began to slowly stop crying. I was still embraced in his wolf hug when Edward walked in.
"Jacob." Edward spoke through gritted teeth. "I can take it from here." He said forcefully. Jacob let go of me, and whispered into my ear,
"Love you Bells, remember I am only a phone's call away." Then he left. Edward gripped into a stone cold embrace (which made me shiver) within a second.
"Bella, I'm here now, it's ok." His voice soothed the hole in my chest. I pulled away realising that I was so pissed at what I had found earlier.
"Edward, can I ask you something." I asked.
"Anything my darling Bella." He looked confused.
"What the hell is with the ring? You know I don't like presents and you left me four!" I exclaimed.
"Well, don't be mad but, it wasn't my idea ok? Alice wanted you to move in with us!" he said calmly.
"WHAT?" I almost shouted. "After my Dad has just died, what?" then the tears cam again. Edward had me quickly into his arms. He stroked my hair just the way Jacob had minutes earlier.
"There there Bella, it's ok, I'm here." He reassured me.
"Edward, I want to move in with you, but it is so soon after my father has died. I'm not sure he would be pleased." I stated.
"Bella, you don't have to do anything you don't want to. I love you, that's all that matters."
"I love you too" I squeezed him tight. I loved him so much.
"Can I ask you a question?" Edward whispered.
"Anything" I replied.
"Right, before you father passed away, he asked me something. He asked me to ask you this question, he gave me his blessing," he spoke lightly, releasing me. Then, he did the sweetest thing I had ever seen Edward do.
