Love in La Push

Closer

I'm trying to get the chapters up quickly 'cause I don't have anything better to do, and I'd rather ignore my duties than do them.

Edward's P.O.V

I ran through the backside of town to get to Jacob's workshop. Yesterday went pretty well and I gotta say, me and Jacob, we were becoming friends. He's really nice, and i feel a sense of brotherhood with him, I had only felt before with my siblings. I stopped a few feet away and started walking in human pace until I reached Jacob's bike, standing outside the garage door. I opened up and saw Jacob standing up, cleaning of an wrench from oil. I smiled at his appearance. His white tank top was covered in oil spots, and he had oil on his cheek as well. But what hit me the most, was his thoughts. He kept repeating one word over, and over, as if he tried to remember what it was.

'Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen, Cullen...'. I shook my head slightly, trying to stop listening and walked up to him, handing over a tissue. He looked up and smiled, thought's changing. I ignored them and said to him;

"You've got...erm...oil on your face." His eyes widened and he took the tissue wiping at his forehead. I laughed at his actions and took back the tissue. "Allow me".

He stood completely still when I wiped his cheek carefully and when I finished, I realised how quiet it was around us. Jacob seemed to realise too because his only thought was; 'Close'.

I opened my mouth and turned around trying to get rid of the awkward feeling. When i turned back Jacob stood in the same place with a frown on his face. I looked at him expectantly and he opened his mouth saying;

"Dude, what did you do? You smell like...this, sickly sweet smell." I stared at him trying to figure out what to answer, but I couldn't come up with anything. So I shrugged and walked back to the car, continuing yesterday's work. Soon Jake joined me.

Jacob's P.O.V

It had been about three days since Edward and I started fixing his car. Today I got the window from John. He's faster with fixing things than he lets on. I arrived at the workshop at the same time as Edward. It's Saturday and we're gonna work on his car the whole day. I walked in the door and saw Edward inspecting the door we painted yesterday. He looked up when I walked in and smiled at me. I smiled back and put down the window on the worktop. He stood up and I came over standing beside him.

"Well" I stated looking at the door, "It looks okay. You can hardly notice that it has been scratched a few days before." I looked over at Edward and was stunned for a minute. He looked really handsome and I felt a need of protecting him. I shook my head getting rid of the weird thoughts. I'd been having these thoughts for the last two days now, and it was starting to piss me off. Edward's not a girl, and the only other person I've ever been protective of is Bells, my sister.

I sighed looking back to the door. It was incredibly hot in here, even though it was cloudy outside. I looked over at Edward, who was looking at me weirdly and asked;

"Is it just me, or is it incredibly warm in here?" Edward blinked, walked over to the benchtop and picked up the window.

"It's just you" He stated calm, and cool as always. I looked away again thinking nothing of the weird feeling in my stomach and continued working together with Ed. Suddenly he stopped and sniffed in the air. I looked at him bewildered as he stared at me with the same wide eyes. I started getting annoyed when he didn't say anything.

"What" I asked a frown evident on my face. He looked at me and I could see he was confused as well. "You smell......like...wet dog". We stared at eachother for a moment before I raised my eyebrows at him. "Wow, thanks, that makes me so happy." I laughed slightly turning back to the car. Weird, I showered this morning, so I shouldn't be smelling.

The weird occurrence got me thinking, and once again I wondered about Edward's last name. I had a feeling I had heard it before, and not associated with good things. But I couldn't put my finger on it. I suddenly remembered the movie tickets I got a couple weeks ago. They are soon gonna be useless, so, why not invite Ed to watch a film with me?

"Hey, you wanna go to the movies today?" I smiled, watching him turn to me with wide eyes. "You know, only if you want to. I've got these movie tickets who are gonna expire soon, and I thought, what the hell. We could see that new action movie." I don't know why but my heart was beating fast and I felt a sense of insecurity. But that was quickly washed away when Edward smiled at me and nodded his head.

We really get along well. He feels like the brother I never had. I smiled at this thought and glanced over at Edward, who seemed to be beaming. Yep, he is one of the best friends I've ever had.

"That was an awesome movie" I smiled to Edward. He laughed nodding, while he held up the door to the theater so I could walk out. The chilly night air met us, but surprisingly, I didn't freeze. Smoke came out of my mouth, but I still felt like I was burning. I shrugged and walked over to my red truck and together Ed and I got in.
