What Could Have Been

Chapter 4

BPOV

I was so damn nervous waiting for everyone to come over tonight. What if we messed up and our parents figure out what we have done? I wish Jacob would come back. He's only been gone for about an hour but I worry about him out there alone with Victoria lurking about. I hope he's ok. I ended up pacing back and forth in the kitchen a few times until I heard cars pull up. I knew Dad's cruiser well and Sue's Chevy truck. I got a glass down from the cupboard and got some water, my throat suddenly felt very dry and scratchy. 'You can do this' I told myself, it's only family. But why was I so damn scared all of a sudden? Too many questions were running through my mind at once. God I wish Jake was here with me to keep me calm. I heard them walking up the porch and before I could open the door, in walked Seth and Leah. I smiled my usual smile like always and to my surprise Leah actually smiled right back! She's never done that before. She always glares at me. Go figure. Seth came over to hug me right away, and then the parent's came in with Sue.

"Hey, Seth."

"Hey, Bella."

"Hi Leah."

"Hi Bella."

"There's my girl."

"Hey, Dad, how was the fishing trip?"

"It was awesome. We caught seven striper bass, six rainbow trout, four catfish. It was a very good day Bella."

"Wow guys, that's a lot of fish!"

"Bella?"

"Yeah Billy?"

"Where's Jacob?"

"He went for a run in the woods, he should be back soon."

"Okay, I'm surprised he left you alone here."

"Quil and Embry are just outside at the tree line, if I need them. So I'm not technically alone here."

"That's good to know, that you're protected. So shall we figure out dinner? And get these boys going?"

"Sure Billy," Sue said. "Bella, you wanna give me a hand cooking some food?"

"Sure, Sue. Just let me make a call real quick."

I walked down the hall to my room and called Jake.

"Hey, Bella."

"Hey, Jake."

"So I'm guessing they are at the house now?"

"Yeah, and they brought seventeen fish for dinner."

"Damn! Sounds like a good haul."

"Jake? Are you ok?"

"Yep!" Popping the P at the end like he always does.

"When you coming home? I miss you."

"On my way now, just had to stop and catch my breath for awhile. I'm at First Beach, be there in ten minutes okay?"

"Sure sure, please hurry?"

"I will Bells."

I ended the call and put the phone into my back pocket. I walked back down the hall and into the kitchen, where Sue was mixing up Harry's fish fry recipe. She glanced my way and smiled at me widely. I didn't think anything of it at first but she gave me that mother's all-knowing look, just like my mom Renee used to when I was either up to something or had done something that I shouldn't have. I played it cool and relaxed knowing Jake would be here in a few minutes to save me. I grabbed the pans out of the cabinet to put the dry ingredients in.

"Thank you Bella, for helping me with dinner."

"Anytime Sue, you know I love to cook."

"So, how are you doing?"

"I'm doing a lot better than I was six months ago, I feel more myself everyday."

"That wouldn't have anything to do with a certain young man we both know would it?"

"Uumm, maybe."

I tried really hard not to blush, but it was too late, she caught me. But she didn't say any more, she just smiled at me. I heard heavy footsteps coming up the porch, and of course my heartbeat had to speed up and I smelled him when he opened the door. Jake walked in all sweaty and breathing hard. I watched as Seth and Leah eyed him suspiciously.

"Hey, Jake, why are you all sweaty and out of breath man? You're never winded."

"Hey, back Seth. I just went for a run, thought I'd get one in today."

"Ok, man."

"Hey there Jake."

"Hey, Leah. What's up?"

"Not much, just kickin' it."

"Cool, well if you all will excuse me, I'm gonna take a shower and clean up."

"Sure, no problem. You kinda stink anyway."

"Thanks for pointing that out to everyone Leah. You know, you don't smell like a bed of roses either"

JPOV

That shut her up long enough for me to quickly walk to my room and get fresh clothes and head into the bathroom. God, I love messing with her, but she makes it too damn easy sometimes. I wondered why she wasn't her usual bitchy self, but I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I'll happily settle for sarcastic Leah any day. I kinda wondered why Sue suddenly looked at me with this huge ass grin, but when I looked over to Bella she just shrugged her shoulders. What was all that about I wondered? I'll just have to survey the room and see if anyone else is acting weird. I stripped and was in the shower as soon as the water heated up.

Man I haven't run like that since before all this wolf stuff started. I wasn't sure how long I was gonna be able to handle it without needing to phase. What am I gonna do? I hope it all works out. I finished my shower quickly so I could dress and get to Bella without people noticing too much. I walked out into the living room to hug my dad hello and shake Charlie's hand, like I always do. I then decided to go see what the women were up to in the kitchen.

I walked in and there was Sue frying fish and my Bella chopping veggies. Wait, why did I just call her MY Bella? Oh crap! I am so screwed! What is wrong with me today? Did I imprint on Bella? No, I think I would have felt it or noticed, right? Man I'm going to have to talk to Sam later about it. For now keep it together Jake, don't want the whole house blowing up now do we? I leaned over Bella and grabbed a green bean she was cleaning and popped it in my mouth. She smiled at me and then she slapped my hand when I went back in for another.

"You, my boy, can wait until dinner's ready."

"Oh, come on Bells, I'm hungry now."

"Later. Right now let me finish helping Sue."

"Fine."

I walked into the living room and plopped down on the floor by Seth and started watching a Seahawks game that was on. Leah just sat there playing with the frayed threads on her shirt before she decided to grace us with her sarcastic and acid tongue.

"Wow! The wet grungy dog smell is gone! Imagine that, it knows how to bathe!"

"You know Leah, I love you too."

"No, you love Bella Swan."

"Ok, now you're crossing the line there Leah. Don't want to have to ask Sam to give you more work to do now do we?"

"You wouldn't!"

"Of course I would and you know it, so if I were you, I would keep my thoughts to myself okay?"

"Ok, just sayin'."

"Leah?"

"Alright! I'm done messing with you now."

"Thank you."

I turned my attention back to the game and saw the looks Charlie and my dad were giving us out of the corner of my eye. I pretended I didn't notice that they were staring at Leah and me. They didn't say anything but I knew my dad would talk to me later when Charlie and the others were gone. Seth just smiled at me and went back to watching the game, my stomach started to growl and everyone asked Sue if dinner was done yet.

"Almost! A few more minutes, just waiting on the cornbread and potato salad to get done and then we'll eat."

"Okay"

Everyone was getting antsy to eat, but we all knew that the wait was more than worth it in the end. So we finished watching the game and started talking about what everyone had been up to for the last few days. Nothing much was going on that we could talk about in front of Charlie anyway so we kept it as humanly normal as possible for him. We didn't want him to flip out and ban Bella from seeing me or risk losing a really good friend over all this. Sue and Bella set the table and called us in to eat. Those of us who didn't fit sat on the couch in the living room. We ate and then Leah and Sue decide it was time for dessert, which I didn't even know they had. Turns out Leah makes a wicked chocolate mousse and damn! Gotta give the girl her props, it was awesome! Bella loved it and so did my dad. He made Leah promise to make it again for him sometime.

"Of course, Uncle Billy, I would love to make it again for you."

"Thank you Leah."

"You're very welcome."

When we were finished eating, we got up and took our plates to the sink and headed outside for a much needed walk. This way we could talk and not have to worry about any strange looks. We walked into my garage and closed the door, latching it from the inside. As soon as I turned around Bella ran into my open arms.

"Oh, man that was awkward to say the least!"

"Tell me about it! What was up with Sue? She kept smiling at me funny."

"I think she suspects something but she didn't come right out and say anything, and I played it cool. I think because she's a mother, she just worries."

"Yeah, she does that when she likes you a lot, Seth says it's annoying sometimes but I think it's cool. Because she's always been like a second mom to me."

"Yeah, maybe you're right."

"Mmmhhhmmm"

"Jacob? Kiss me?"

I leant down to kiss her soft lips, which still tasted like chocolate mousse. She wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer to her. I brought my hands up from her waist to slide up her sides and ended up under her t-shirt. She gasped but I kept going further up toward her breasts. I cupped her through her bra and ran my thumbs over her nipples slightly. She hardened quickly, moaned softly and arched her back pushing her breasts into my hands. I couldn't believe we were actually making out in my garage but where else were we gonna go? We never broke the kiss until she moved her hands down to rest on my hips and I jerked.

"Hey, Jake? You, ok?"

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine, you just startled me."

"I'm sorry, but if we keep doing this, I'm not sure I want to stop."

"I know what you mean babe."

Holy hell, I called her babe! I need to talk to Sam soon. We kept kissing for awhile and then the hands started to roam all over our bodies. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist and I carried her over to the back of the garage where the wall was smoother. I pushed her up against the wall and deepened the kiss, she moaned softly and tightened her hold on my hair, pulling a little harder then normal. I groaned in her mouth and pushed my hips into her core, wanting to feel as much friction as I could get. Her scent got stronger as I noticed her arousal and I wanted so badly to take her right now and let my wolf claim her. But I couldn't do that until she was ready for it, because when a wolf mates, it's very intense and they mark what's theirs, so that will have to wait for later, when we are completely alone.

"Jacob?"

"Yeah Bells?"

"I want your mouth on me."

"Really? You're sure? Right here? Right now?"

"Yes, right here, right now babe, I don't think I can wait till later tonight. I need you now."

"Ok, we can use the old sofa and I have an extra blanket in the cabinet. I'll get it, just hold on a sec ok?"

"Sure, no problem."

I gently set her down on her feet and I went to retrieve the blanket and then I laid it out on the sofa so she wouldn't get dirty. She walked to me slowly, swinging her hips in a sexy way. I gulped down some air and smiled slightly to her. We sat down on the sofa and started kissing again. We touched each other and she undid the button and zipper to her skinny jeans. Slipping them and her panties down, I untied her shoes and slipped them off her feet and then I pulled her pants and panties all the way off. She pulled her legs up onto the sofa and scooted back some, so there was enough room for me to sit at the other end. She spread her legs for me to lean into her and I kissed her lips softly and she deepened the kiss. She pulled my shirt up and tugged it off and laid it over the back of the sofa. I kissed her cheek and her neck and she moaned my name.

"Jacob?"

"Yeah, Babe?"

"Please? I need your mouth on me."

"Ok."

I kissed her lips one more time and then I went down to her thighs, kissing from the inside to her pussy. She was so damn wet that she was dripping with her juices. I couldn't wait any longer and while staring into her eyes I went down on her and lapped at her wet folds licking up everything she was giving me. She tasted too damn good. I found her clit and licked it slowly, twirling my tongue around in circles, she arched her hips pushing into my mouth.

"Beautiful, you are amazing."

"More, Jake please?"

"Alright."

I went back to work and licked her a little faster and swirled my tongue around in more circles. I knew she was getting closer because she began to arch her back off of the sofa and push her hips up even more. She started panting more and more, and I kept up my loving, making her climb even higher. I was so in love with this girl that I could actually do this all day and not get tired of it. She wrapped her fingers into my hair and pulled harder to keep me where she wanted me.

"Oh Jacob! I'm close, so close baby. Don't stop!"

"You like it when I do this to you? Huh?"

"Yes, I do. Make me cum."

"Your wish is my command, anything for you Bella."

I lapped at her entrance and then slid my tongue into her opening while I rubbed her clit with my thumb.

"Harder Jake, please?"

I rubbed her clit a little harder in circles and pumped her with my tongue. She screamed as she was getting ready to cum. I told her, "cum in my mouth baby. I want to taste your sweetness."

"Aaaaaarggh, I'm cumming Jake, don't stop!"

She came with such a force her whole body lifted up off of the sofa. I put my hands under her butt and held her suspended off the sofa while I kept eating her out. She cried out in ecstasy and filled my mouth with her juices. I licked it all up while she came back down until she pushed my head up to let me know she was too sensitive for me continue. I set her back down and made my way up to her waiting mouth and kissed her ever so softly and she moaned against my lips. We laid there for awhile just enjoying each other's touch. I didn't care if I got off, my sole focus was getting Bella off. It was a lot darker now and I couldn't tell you for sure what time it was either. We sat up and I handed her clothes to her so she could dress. I put my shirt back on and helped her stand once she had her shoes on. I folded up the blanket and put it away and we walked to the door and I unlatched it and opened it. I was shocked shitless when I came face to face with...
