It’s been a day or so since meeting Jack’s family officially. Rosalie still doesn’t like Bella and I but everyone else does.
Bella and I were currently at the diner. I was grinning because I was texting Jack.
“Yo, Arizona. So. You two and the Cullen’s.”
We shrug.
“I-I don’t like it. I don’t know. They seem look at you both like your meals”
I glared.
“To be honest Mike, my relationship with Jack is none of your business.”
I stalked inside the diner with Bella behind me.
“Sorry we’re late. Biology project”
Cora sets down a sirloin steak in front of dad, a garden salad in front of Bella and a cheeseburger in front of me.
“Ordered you the garden salad and cheeseburger”
“Order one for yourself next time. Cut back on the steak”
“I’m as healthy as a horse”
Cora spoke, “Say Chief, boys want to know, you find anything down by Queets River today?”
“The suspect’s moving east. Kitsap County Sheriff is taking over from here.”
“Hope they catch him fast”
She moves off.
“Your friends are flagging you”
We turn to see Mike and the guys horsing around outside.
“It’s okay if you wanna join them. I’m just gonna turn in early anyway”
“Yeah, us, too”
“It’s a Friday night. Go out. The Newton boy’s got a big smile for you. Nice family, the Newtons. Anyways, Aussie, aren’t you getting close to Jack Cullen? Go out with him tonight. Have fun”
“He’s just a friend,” said Bella about Mike.
“None of the boys in town interest you?”
I grinned slightly.
“We’re not really going to talk about boys, are we?”
“Just…you should be around people. I leave you alone too much”
“We’ve never minded being alone. Guess we’re a lot like our dad that way”
Dad smiles.

I was dressed for bed. I stretched and sighed. I looked out the window into the forest. I turned away and went to my bed.
I heard a soft thump. I turned and saw Jack standing in my room grinning.
“How did you get in here?”
“The window. As always”
“You’ve been here before?”
“What else is there to do at night? I just…like watching over you”
He stepped closer to me.
“There’s something I’d like to try”
I nod. He takes my face in his hands, hesitates, then softly kisses me.
My breath comes in a soft gasp. My fingers knot in his hair, clutching him to me.
His hands gently but forcefully push my face back. I open my eyes.
“I’m…I’m…-”
“I’m stronger than I thought”
“Wish I could say the same. I’m so embarrassed”
“Don’t be. But we have to be careful. I can never lose control with you. Ever”
I nodded. He picked me up bridal style and took me to my bed. He laid me down and covered me up.
“Will you stay?”
He nodded. He laid next to me. I carefully lay on his chest. He wraps his arms around me. His fingers gently stroked my back soothingly.
