what should've happened... Jacob and Bella's love story

Year Mark with Jacob

"Jacob!" I hissed.

He had his hands covering my eyes. I hated surprises and he knew that. 

"Relax, Bella. I know you hate surprises so I didn't spend a cent on this and we're almost there so shut up already." He said with a hint of laughter in his voice. 

I can picture him smiling. He stopped abruptly about two minutes later and uncovered my eyes. Once my eyes got used to the light, I saw christmas lights, a ratty old quilt on the sand, and a picnic basket surrounding a driftwood fire. We were at First Beach. I realized that Jacob had gotten quiet behind me and I turned with my eyes all watery.

"Before you say anything," he explained "the quilt was my grandma's, the lights are old christmas lights and the picnic isn't anything special. Just some grapes, you're favorite, and some sandwiches. Im not the best cook." 

"You did this for me?" My voice slightly quivering. 

"Today's our year mark. Give or take a day but I don't know. We don't have to stay if you don't want to..." He drifted off.

I lifted my finger and pressed them gently on his lips. 

"This is perfect," I said with a tear landing on my cheek softly "this is so me. Its so Bella. I can't imagine a better year mark date." 

He seemed so shy a second ago, so little waiting for my assessment. Once he heard me say that, a huge smile appeared on his face and with one quick movement, lifted me up and walked me to the quilt. We sat down and talked, like we have for the past year but this time it felt different. This was our first official date. Late, I know, but we were always in the garage. Plus, I liked those dates. It was day after day of just us and I loved that. We started to eat and I got quiet. I knew it was the moment to tell him. So I grew a pair, turned to him and looked him in the eyes. I never got tired of looking at him in the eyes. It was like I was the only one alive in the world.

"I love you, Jacob." I all but whispered knowing that his ears could hear it. 

He suddenly sat up, his back straighter than a second ago, and continued to look me in the eyes but got very still. He knew what those words meant to me. He knew how heavy those words felt to me.  I suddenly got very self conscious and looked down. I saw his hand moving and he grabbed my chin softly and lifted my head up, forcing me to look him in the eyes. 

"I was made for you. I am yours, unconditionally. You are the air I breathe. You are my world. You are my life. I love you, Isabella Swan. And I will until the day I die." Jacob breathed. 

Thats when I knew I would be with him until the day we died. I couldn't picture us dying at different times. It was going to be us, together, forever. I leaned in and brushed my lips against his, but this time it felt different. It felt final. Like our love was officially out there, it was us against the world and now not only we could see it, but the world could too. We kissed and kissed and kissed until we fell asleep on the quilt. Cuddling, closer and closer, until there was no space in-between us. I could feel every crevice of his body flushed against mine. I was the happiest I've ever been and it was all because of Jacob.

The morning rolled around, waking us up with a kiss of sunlight. It was one of those rare sunny days in the Olympic Peninsula. The days I loved because it felt a little like home. I woke up before he did, so I took the opportunity to sit up and trap a mint from my bag, knowing how much morning breath sucks. Once I did that, I sat next to him and began tracing patterns onto his arm with my finger. I couldn't spend one moment without touching him. God, I was weak. A couple minutes later, I saw him stir and waited for him to wake up. 

"Good morning, sleepy head." I allowed myself.

"So it was real," he said sleepily "last night did happen." 

"Wow, Jacob, lameness suits you." I said smiling and bent down to kiss him. 

His hand wrapped around me and brought me down on top of him. 

"Shut up, princess." He murmured on my lips.

Kissing Jacob felt new every time it happened. Soon enough, we were breaking apart catching our breath. I never got tired of that. We sat up and looked into each others eyes for what felt like hours, but I'm sure it was only minutes. I broke apart first when his eyes began to form a mischievous plan, but I beat him to it. No less than five minutes more of kissing, we were catching our breath again. I suddenly got an idea. Im not the adventurous kind, that was for sure, but with Jacob I felt like I could conquer the world. So I stood up and looked at him with a wicked grin. 

"How about a morning swim?" I said running away from him. 

Half way to the water, I grabbed the hem of my shirt and threw it over my head. I looked back and saw him racing towards me. A laugh escaped my throat. My hands moved down to my shorts and I unbuckled it and just to mess with him, turned around and lowered my shorts, so that I was only in my under garments. His step faltered, much to my pleasure, and then he sped up. He threw his shirt off and caught up to me, my feet already stepping into the cold water. He lifted me up so quickly it felt like I was flying and another laugh left my throat in a way that I was sure sounded like a hyena choking. He laughed along with me, enjoying this moment just as much as me. He then threw me, gently, into the deeper water. My entire body getting soaked by freezing cold water, it was horrible, but not a second later Jacob was there wrapping his arms around me. His intense heat warmed the water around me, making my swim more pleasurable. I swam up to him, my feet no where near the bottom, but his immense size allowed him to stand up with no problem. I wrapped my legs around him and we laughed and laughed and laughed. It felt so good to just let loose like this, so different from before. I liked this new Bella, willing to try anything, do anything because I knew I had this support behind me like never before.

Half an hour later, once Jacob and I left the water all wrinkly, we decided it was time to go back home and check in with Billy and Charlie. Though, I'm sure Charlie only called once because I was with Jacob. I swear sometimes it felt like Charlie loved Jacob more than me, even though I knew that was impossible. We packed up and him being a human blowdryer, got dry within minutes while my undergarments remained cold and wet underneath my clothes. We got to Jacob's house and put my clothes to dry outside in the sun and I got to wear some of Jacobs huge clothing. Billy asked no questions as to why we were wet and why we didn't come home last night. The only thing Billy said was that Charlie had called only once, but that he had told him that the boys had a bonfire last night. Billy, the life saver. He had no idea where we were but he still lied to Charlie for me not to get into trouble. Billy exited quietly and told us he was headed to Sue Clearwater's place for some breakfast. We had the house to ourselves, but we still decided to go to the garage and continue our everyday routine. It was natural for us, and made us feel good. And boy, did we kiss.

AHHHH THE "LOVE YOU"S!!! MY HEART!!!

Bella and Jacob never really had an entire chapter focusing on them so thats why I have this for them, they deserve it. 

Sorry not sorry for all the kisses lolll but if I was there, I wouldnt stop kissing him. 

I felt like the part where Bella told him she loved him was good, but let me know. In this fandom we all know how much those words mean to Bella and Im happy that here, they are directed to the right guy! 

I added the water part because I wanted to let you guys know that Bella is still our Bella but she has also changed. Jacob has changed her for the better. Shes more out there and thats what Ive always wanted her to become to let me know if you like it!

Side note: is it bad that as I'm writing this here, Im listening to Full Moon by The Black Ghosts... Which also happens to be on the Twilight sound track....? Crazy? I think not!

My love goes to you all!
