BELLA'S  PoV

The drive to the restaurant took forever!
Silence.
There was a comfortable silence in the car as I stared out the window, we passed tall thick forest trees.
We were out of the  city.

I know I should be scared of this perfect stranger driving me to I don't know were but I am not even 1% scared, instead I feel safe and protected.

I see Jacob through my thick long eyelashes steal glances at me with a devilish smirk on his mouth watering lips.

"Are you scared?" Jacob asks all of a sudden, I don't even know why he is asking me such a question.
Should I be scared?

He focuses his gaze on the road, not once sparing me one single glance.

"Scared of what?" I ask and he gives a faint smile that does not reach his eyes.

"Of me, are you not scared of being with me in the middle of nowhere. Am like a stranger you know"
He finishes and looks at me for a while then fixes his gaze back on the road.

I think over it for a while.
Am I scared?
Should I be scared?

I look back at him, I bit my lower lip, it's a habit that I have come to hate.

When am anxious, nervous, scared, lying, or excited I bit my lip. So basically it has became a part of me.
I see Jacob fix his gaze on my lip and never taking his eyes off it.
Am afraid he might cause an accident.

"No." I say and pause.
Jacob snaps out of staring at my lip and ask.

"Unh_ no what?"

"No, I am not scared" I say and we just stare into each others eyes.

"We are here" he says still staring at me.

"Unh?" I say in confusion not understanding.
He tilts his head to the side as a  sign, showing me the beautiful three story mansion right in front of me.

"Wow" I say mesmerized at what is in front of me. Could this be his house?
If it is then he must be rich, which makes me wonder what he does for a living.

I open the passenger's  car door but it was suddenly slammed back causing a flinch and a gasp.

I look at him and what I see scares me.

Fear.
Fear is what I see, not fear of his life but mine.
He held my hand in his so tightly, I fear it will bruise.
He fixes his gaze on me, his lips trembling.

What got this strong man this scared and not for himself but for me.

"Stay here" he says as he let's go of my hand and opens the car door.
"Please" he pleads before getting out of the car.
All I could do is just node but I sure am not planing on staying behind.
My curiosity gets the best of me.
Just a few seconds after Jacob disappears in the three story mansion, I hope out of the car and follow the path that Jacob walked through.

So beautiful, the outside was mesmerizing, so green. Beautiful flowers, a huge bond just at the far end of the mansion, it was peaceful and smiled natural.

I Stop in front of the double doors, take in a deep death.
I was nervous, I mean he practically pleaded with me to stay in the car.
.
Whatever got him scared is beyond me.

I push  open the door to the mansion and take quite slow steps inside.
The insides is breath taking, beautiful.
I start to climb one of the two stair cases but before I could make another step, some one grabs me by my wrist and I turn right into a hard chest releasing a loud gasp.

"I thought I told you to stay in the car?" He asks, well more like stating in an angry voice might I add.

"I know, I know. But I just couldn't stay. Am sorry" I say using my poppy dog eyes.
He gives a simple smile after seeing my actions and pulls me in for a hug kissing my forehead.

"Next time  I say stay, you stay until you see me come for you and when I don't you run" he says and I rise my head to look at him in confusion.

"And why would that happen?" I say.
He opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out.

"Well well well... Who do we have here? Jacob" says a tall blonde beautiful and powerful  woman putting on all white.
White see through t shirt with a white coat, white jeggings  and white knee length boots.
She walk towards us in slow steps like an assassin in an action movie.
The bad ass girl type.

She stops in front of me, she looks at me up and down and finally stops at my face.
I can't help feel nervous.

"I must say, she is such a beautiful little being and quite innocent too." She says then looks at Jacob who is still tense, holding me tightly by my waist.

"What do you want Verona?" Jacob asks in a rather harsh tone.

"Oh please, can't I visit my old friend?" She asks in a mocking voice with a smile.

"Name is Bella" I cut in laying my hand forward.

"Cute name, Verona Rodisha but you can call me Vero since you are  Mr kille_ I mean Jacob's friend" she says as we shake hands.

An awkward silence fills the room before Vero breaks the silence.

"So, shall we eat?.... I mean there is such delicious food dishes on the dinner, what is the occasion?" She asks and Jacob kisses my forehead then says

"Let's feed you, shall we?" Did he just say 'feed you?'

The Almighty Jacob has just flirted with me?
Anyways I take his hand and we walk hand in hand to the dinner with Vero behind us.

***********************************

"So how long have you been together?" Verona asks taking in a mouth full  sip from her red wine that she had mixed with some kind of whisky.

Jacob chocks on his food and cough for a little while, then his eyes land on mine and we just stay like that staring at each other.

How long have we been together?

When did we even start?

"Not long" I hear Jacob say in his deep masculine voice staring right into my eyes,  his blue eyes turning softer.

I guess we started.
Or maybe we have just started.
I mean there is no need in pretending, am falling for him.

"Does your mama know you have an orderly man for a boyfriend?" Vero asks rising her eyebrows.

What the Fuck is that?

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to curse.

But what in the Fuck!
