Lunar (Alex X Jake book #1)

Chapter 7

           Bella smiled slightly as we both followed Jake into his dad's garage. He wheeled one of the bikes to the left side of the room near a wooden table littered with old tools and pulled a few of them off. I sat down beside him while Bella sat down on the opposite side of us.

    "I had no idea that you were so interested in motorcycles". I said trying to start up a conservation while also digging for an answer.

     "Neither did. I sort of just found some of my dad's old bikes and he said that had been wanting to fix them up to sell them. So, I learned from a couple of my friends on the reservation how to fix up motorcycles". Jake told me. "Now its kind of my thing".

      "I think it suits you. You seem like your happy and in your element". I said brushing a piece of hair away from my eyes. Jake smiled and started to work on his bike.

      "you think?"

I nodded. "I do".

      "Are you sure this is safe, Bells?" I questioned my sister again as she steadied herself on jakes newly fixed bike. When Bella had told me that she wanted to test out Jakes bike as soon as he had fixed I was more then worried. After the whole depression episode that's he had for four months straight I wasn't so sure that this was a good idea.

     "I'm with Alex on this Bella. Maybe I should test it fi-"

    "No way. I can do this". Bella argued.

I sighed, "Are you sure that about?"

     "Yes. I'm sure". Bella said. I glanced up at Jake who gave me the same look that I was giving him. This was a bad idea. I shook my head as Jake went over, again in detail all the things on how to get the bike going and where the break was located. I felt reveled that Jake was making an effort in trying to teach my sister what do and how to work everything. This was a crash course that she did not want to ignore.

    "So, you got everything?"

    "I think so'. She said. "Can I go know?" her question sounded more like a demanding one, but none the less Jake gave her a thumb up.

     "I can't watch this".

Bella raised her hand onto the bike handle and started to rave it. Then in one failed swoop she took off down the dirt path. She looked like she was flying so fast and so freely. It was almost like she had a grip on the situation. That was until the bike hit a rough patch in the trail and started to wiggle back and forth little by little. Then the front wheel of the bike collided with a large rock, sitting directly in her way and Bella jumped from the bike and landed head first into a group of rocks. Both of us rushed over to her side. What the hell was wrong with her? What had happened just now?

     "Bells what the hell?" I shouted at her. Bella lifted herself from the rocks and laid back onto the soft grass. I glanced up at the good-sized cut on the top of head. Just mixed in with her hair line. "I'm never let- "

I couldn't even get the rest of my words out as my best friend lifted his shirt off his muscular body and started to dab at my sisters injure. When the shift left his body, my cheeks were engulfed in flames and I had to look away to get them to stop. What was wrong with me? And why did my face just turn a bright shade of red like that? I shook my head and focused my attendance back on my sister and a half naked Jacob.

       "I'm never letting you do that again". Jake stated firm as my sister stared up at him.

      "What?" Jake asked my sister as she continued to gaze at him.

      "Your sort of beautiful Jake". Oh, my gods Bella, seriously?!

Jake chuckled. "I think you hit your head a little too hard. C'mon let's get you home".

It was an hour after dinner time when jake had finally brought us home. He wansted to make sure that Bella and I had gotten something to eat before bringing us home, which I found rather sweet. Bella was too sleepy to ven care. As soon as Jake had put her in the back seat of her truck she fell fast asleep. Jake pulled the truck next to the house and carried Bella inside. Then he gently dropped her down on the couch. Both of us felt relieved.

      "I'm really sorry about her Jake". I apologized plopping down. Jake smiled looking away from me and down at the ground.

      "You didn't know that she was going to crash". He said softly plopping down next to me.

I sighed. "Even still. All this happened when we ere supposed to be having a nice day together. So much for that".

     "yeah. It did kind of suck. Especially since I never got a chance to ask you". Jake replied laying back against the two-seated chair. I raised an eyebrow at him.

     "Ask me what?"

    "Bella got invited to a movie with her friends from school and well she asked me to come along".

     "Are you going?"

Jake smiled. "I told her id only go if you were going".

I just stared at Jake. Was he asking me out? No way. He couldn't be. Beside it wasn't like anyone else was couple. I mean Mike wasn't getting anywhere with Bella and he wasn't even trying with Jessica.

      "Bella never mentioned anything about a movie. Well since your asking me, Jake sure. I'll go. Why the hell not. It couldn't be that bad, right?"
