The day went really quick before they knew it school has finished.
Jacob waited at the end of school for Bella to swing by and pick him up, he had been smiling non stop all day even had dealt with the usual teasing off Embry and Quil about him grinning like a Cheshire cat all day. He was excited about getting home tonight spending time with Bella, he did not spot Quil creeping up behind him.
''Boo, daydreaming again Uley, you got it bad, this girl of yours?'' Quil said with a sarcastic smile. Jacob just looked at him not replying as he could see Bella pulling up.
''Jake sorry i am late, come on. Does your friend want a lift?'' Quil looks like e is about to answer when Jacob replies for him. ''No he is walking, needs the exercise, does not do enough running''. Quill laughed and said bye. Jacob looked at Bella who looked even more beautiful since when he saw her this morning, maybe Quill was right He has got it bad.
''whatever you want for tea i will cook, lets get home, i am starving'' Jacob laughed as the car pulled off and down the road heading for home.
Later that night Bella had finished cooking dinner for Jacob and herself. Lasagne and salsd, well Jacob opted for the fries, but Bellla was shocked at how much he actually ate. When they finished eating their dinner, Bella washed up while Jacob playing with his X-box once she was done and put everything away she went into the living room. She looked out the window and the weather was still fairly clear and pleasant for La Push at this time of year.
"Jacob do you want to go to the beach?'' Jacob paused his game and looked up at her. He closed his game and jumped up, he was shocked that he would do anything for Bella, if she asked him to jump of the cliff he would.
''Sure let me just grab my jacket'' Jacob ran off to grab his jacket rushing back in to check she was still here and safe, again that weird warm feeling rushed over Bella.
''All ready when you are Bella, let's go.'' Jacob grabbed her hand pulling her hand out the house, when there hands touched it was like an electric shock went through them. Bella looked at Jacob who was sure they'd both felt that. Jacob looked a bit flustered started walking in front up the path to the beach, Bella shouted behind ''Jake hang on i just need to lock up, JAKE! Damn it!" Jacob had disappeared up the path, had she upset him? what had she done wrong? Bella quickly jogged to catch up with him.
Jacob had calmed down, his inner wolf was wanting to come to the surface whenever Bella was around, he needed to calm down before he saw her again. Bella caught up very quickly, Jacob could pick up on her scent nearing. Bella look flustered like she had run a marathon, and did not look impressed with Jacob for leaving her. Once again that feeling when they looked at each, She walked up to him and looked like she rehearsed something to say to him but when Bella saw Jacobs deep brown eyes, she forgot everything she was going to say.
They walked further down the beach not saying anything to each other. They arrived to the first beach so Bella put a towel down on the sand and he saw his friends and run down the beach to meet up with them. Bella just got on her towel when she looked up to see the boy from earlier that was waiting after school with Jacob.
''Hey Bella isn't it? can we join you?" she heard Quil say she then took the time to notice two other boys she had never met before standing next to him. Bella looked back at Quil and responded with a smile.
''hey of course you can, I'm Bella Swan, nice to meet you?" She said holding her hand out to Jared and Paul. Before they could answer Jacob came back, Bella had not even realised that he had done a disappearing act again. Jacob trolled up and introduced the older boys to Bella
''Bella, this is Jared Cameron and Paul Lahote they are at my school, you may seem them around they help my dad in a community group'' he told her with a smile on his face. Bella wondered if they was a hidden message or joke she was missing. What was so funny? They all sat down looking at at the fire and sea. Jared looked at Bella and Jacob sitting closely together, he noted the closeness and whether Bella had realised it or not Jacob would never let her go. He imprinted on her.
"So Jake, where have you been today? You seem to be off in your own little world, you missed a meeting?" Jared said calmly looking at Paul. Paul looked at the pup a the pack called him because so far he was the youngest of the pack, still learning. Jared looked at Jacob when he got no response from Jacob but he could see Jacob shaking a little bit.
''You cold Jake, you shaking, you can have my jacket?''
Jacob looked at Jared and Paul and with his eyes seemed to be silently communicating with them to back off. ''I am fine Bella, just a shiver, you keep your jacket you need it more than me.'' Paul looked up and smiled, he seemed to like riling Jake up so had a idea.
''So Jacob have you told Bella about this party that is on at Embry's house tonight?'' Paul smiled widely watching Jacobs face contort in anger. Bella looked at Jacob confused. ''Jacob what is he on about, you promised your parents no parties?'' Jacob looked like a rabbit stuck in headlights, he did not know what to say he only hoped Quil or Jared did not say anything otherwise he would not know how to get out of this trouble with Bella.
Paul looked at Bella, looking like she was waiting for Jacob to respond, knowing he was now winding little pup up he looked at Bella and calmly asked her a question knowing the reaction little pup would give off later when he was able to go back to patrol. It would be funny to see.
''So Bella you're not worried that he will sneak off to go to that party going on tonight" Paul asked her Bella looked at them all watching her for a reaction and response. Sam and Emily said no to parties and Jake was going to have to respect that even if it made her enemy number one in his eyes. She looked over at Paul and said "Look it happens beside I know all the tricks to sneak of. I was your age once, i was no angel i used to sneak out to parties so i know all the tricks so do not even think about trying to get anything past me." she informed them with a smile
They all stayed and talked to each other Jacob seemed to have chilled out alot and was now relaxing was having fun and talking to his friends on the beach. Bella and Jacob returned back to Sam and Emily's about an hour later. It was getting noticbly colder and even though Jacob could handle it he knew Bella would start getting very cold quickly. Whilst Bella was getting a hot drink, she shouted through to Jacob. She had not realised the time it was eleven o'clock at night where had the time gone. She told Jacob to go to bed but was quick to remind him of what she said at the beach.
''Don't go though the window to sneak to the party what's happening tonight by the way. I will know and the first person i will ring is my Dad and get him to send some policemen over to to retrieve you and break up the party on my watch Jake sorry"
He smiled and looked at her, normally he'd sneak out regardless of what his parents said. But he could not seem to fight Bella law, it is like he could not leave the house because she asked him not to.. where had the rebellious streak gone what is going on?
''Night Bella, oh and thanks for today it has been fun! It has been nice getting to know you away from your Forks friends you seem a lot more happier being here?''
Bella looked at Jacob and smiled. ''I am Jacob, now off to bed. See you in the morning'' Jacob retreated upstairs leaving Bella mulling over the day on the sofa. She realised that tomorrow Sam and Emily would be back, it strangely hurt her knowing she would be away from Jacob, she could not understand it. Bella knew that Edward was back tomorrow from his holiday so everything would feel normal again once she saw him. Wouldn't it?
