Jake reached out his hand to brush the few honey brown strands of hair in Bella's face. He hovered his face inches above hers, keeping his eyes on hers. She leaned forward slightly until their lips brushed against each others.

"Jake...don't," Bella breathed out. She glanced away, feeling her cheeks turning pink.

"I am sorry...," Jake whispered in a low husky voice.

"Don't be sorry, Jake. I should be the one apoligizing... We can't. This will only complicate things," Bella informed him. He moved to sit next to her on the bed. He ran his finger through the now short length of his hair. He shifted his gaze to stare at her.

"I need to go," Jake changed the subject then moved to get up. In a matter of seconds he was across the room and out the door. Once he left Bella flopped back onto her bed, growling at herself. She covered her face with her hands and shoke her head. She couldn't believe that she allowed that to even almost to happen. Things couldn't get complicated. She needed a friend and Jake was the only one around.

3 MONTHS LATER

Jake hadn't talk to her since that night in her room. Bella had managed to make a group of friends, but it still wasn't the same to her. She knew that things had gotten out of hand that night and didn't want to make their friendship complicated. Yet Bella couldn't seem to let the feelings go that lingered since then. Brushing her fingertips over the swell of her lower lip she could still feel the slight brush of Jake's pair against hers. Tired of all this waiting Bella decided to make a trip out to the reservation. A light drizzle of rain coated the windshield of her Chevy as she drove out of Forks and into La Push. Bella pressed up on the switch for the wind shield wippers. She clutched the steering wheel tightly in her hands as the nervousness set in. The old, rusty Chevy pulled into a narrow dirt path and stopped in front of the rundown shack. Bella put the truck in park then pulled the keys out. She opened the heavy rusted door and climbed out then shut the door behind herself. She tucked her hands into the pockets of her rain coat then started to walk towards the screen door. Bella rasped her knuckles against the wooden frame and waited for an answer. A few minutes later Billy wheeled up to the screen door and opened it up. "Hello, Bella. What brings you here?" He asked, greeting her with a smile.

"Is Jake here?" Bella asked as she bit down on her lower lip. Her forehead crinkled slightly from her nerves.

"He's in the shed in the back," Billy informed her.

"Thanks," She replied then flashed a smile. Bella turned away from Billy and followed a trail to the back until she found the shed. She made her way to the opening of the shed until she found him. Jake was bent under the hood of his car with his tools in hand. Bella cleared her throat and watched as Jake moved from underneath the hood. A black grease streaked up on his rustic cheek. He turned to grab a red rag from his tool stand and wiped off his hands. He didn't greet her with a smile or even a hello. Bella sighed then shifted her gaze to his car.

"It's looking good," Bella broke the ice with the simple statement.

"Thanks," Jake mumbled as he turned back to the Rabbit.

"Listen, Jake..." Bella trailed off not knowing what to say. She couldn't find the words to express how sorry she was about that night. But before she could say anything Jake intrupted.

"What do you want, Bella? Isn't it enough that I like you and you refuse me?" He asked, turning to glare at her.

"Jake, that isn't fair!" She exclaimed.

"What isn't fair? I can't do this, Bella. Please.., just go." He told her, holding his hands up at her.

"I am not going any where. Not until we talk about this. You have been ignoring my texts and calls. What is with you?" She asked.

"Bella..., my life is diffcult right now. I don't need to be screwing up yours, Okay?" He exhaled while he ran his fingers through his hair. The secert he had been keeping from her was killing him. He couldn't tell her that the supernatural existed and he was a wolf. There was no way she would ever believe him, and to top it all of he had managed to imprint on her. He didn't want her apart of this world because of what Sam did to Emily. He knew at any moment he could lose his control and hurt Bella. He couldn't live with himself if that happened.

"Jake," She whispered his name softly. Bella couldn't fight these feelings anymore. It was overwhelming inside of her. There was just something pulling her closer to him. Bella made her way towards him and practically leaped into his arms. She crushed her lips to his and wrapped her arms around his neck. Jake pulled her more firmly against his body and kissed her back with a feverish passion. He lifted her up until her legs came around his waist. His arms were wrapped around her as they kissed. She sighed against his lips, feeling the relief that came with their first kiss.

Something snapped in Bella. Her fingers were locked in the short strands of hair at his neck and she wasn't letting him go this time. She kissed him with as much passsion as he gave her. Jake turned to press Bella on top of the tool table. He pulled back to look down into her eyes. He brushed her hair out of her face then ran his thumb across her cheek. Bella gazed back up at him with such admiriation in those chocolate hues. He smiled down at her then ran his thumb across her lower lip.

"Bells, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, searching her eyes for an answer.

{Okay! I hope you all are excited! What do you think Bella will say? Yes or no? Review this chapter and I'll post another. That is how it works. Thanks for reading. Have an amazing day!
