Chương 11: Chapter 11
BELLA P.O.V
Charlie had decided to rent a car for the move to college. We had spent most of the day packing up the car. My room was mostly empty. Of course I was leaving a bunch of stuff, most of the pictures were staying.
The bedding had to stay too because it wouldn't fit the twin mattress at school.
"How is Jake handling this?" Charlie asked as we sat down for dinner together. I shrugged. I knew that this wasn't going to be easy on Jacob. It wasn't going to be easy on me either but this was just something I needed to do.
"He's okay. He won't talk about it."
"He coming to stay the night?"
"Yeah. I just told him that we were going to have dinner together and then he could come over." I answered. "And he's gonna come with tomorrow."
"I figured. Extra man to move everything." I smiled. "But Embry, his friend is moving in too isn't he?" He asked.
"Embry Call. Yeah. So I'm sure Jake will be there every minute he possibly can be." He chuckled. "Probably sleep out in the woods on campus." Of course I would never make him do that. Worst comes to worst I'll let him sleep on the floor with a couple blankets.
"He's very protective." I looked up from my plate to him. "Almost too protective."
"What do you mean?"
"What is he protecting you from, Bells?" He questioned.
"I-what?" I was confused on what he meant. I mean there was no way he actually knew what he was protecting me from. As far as knew, there were no vampires in the area. Obviously vampires were around the world but so far, since Victoria, no vampires have crossed into Forks or La Push.
"He's always hovering. Always making sure you're not tripping over your own feet." I laughed a little. "It's a very serious relationship." Which terrified me. Not only that he noticed how serious our relationship was but that he was probably thinking that we were going to run off and get married. Then the doorbell rang. I huffed quickly standing but not standing fast enough before Charlie got up and went to the door. Normally Jake wasn't nervous coming into the house but when I stood behind Charlie, him standing at the door with flowers, he looked nervous. "Hello, Jacob. Thank you for the flowers." I rolled my eyes trying to get around Charlie who wouldn't move.
"Uh, they're for Bella." He stuttered rubbing the back of his neck with one hand.
"Move." I pushed passed Charlie and smiled at Jake. "Thank you for the flowers." He handed them to me before I stepped back, into Charlie. "Dad." I whined. Charlie walked away but kept his eyes on us. I wasn't sure why he was suddenly acting like that.
"What's his deal?" Jake asked kissing my cheek and stepping into the house. He closed the door behind him.
"He thinks you're very protective." I answered going to the kitchen and getting a vase for the flowers. As soon as I got them into the water in the vase, I smelled them.
"I am protective over you."
"He questioned what you were protecting me from." I looked over my shoulder at him. Our plates from dinner were still on the table and I offered him the leftover's from my plate. When he refused, I cleaned them up.
"You obviously didn't tell him right?"
"I'm not stupid." I answered wrapping my arms around him.
"I know you're not." He smiled as I leaned against his back. "Also, the guys may crash your move in day tomorrow. They're all going to help Embry and claim that they're going to stash weed and alcohol in your dorm."
"No." I answered firmly. I knew that Jake and his friends did that but I didn't. I didn't want it anywhere near my dorm room. I had emailed with my roommate a few times, she seemed kind but also shy so I was hoping that she didn't mind Jake and his friends being there. I'm sure Embry would be over all the time keeping tabs on me.
"Do you need any help getting things into the car?" He asked. There were a few boxes left in my room that I showed him. He quickly got them into the car before looking in the back seat. "I can't fit back there."
"I'll sit in the back." I rolled my eyes. He quickly lifted me and threw me over his shoulder. He smacked my butt twice before running down the street. "Where are we going?" I asked wrapping my arms around him so he wouldn't drop me.
"To look at the stars." He answered. I had the perfect view of his butt and wanted nothing more than for him to put me down. When we got to where he wanted to be, he set me down. I moved into his chest so my back was resting against his and we both looked up at the sky. There were mostly clouds but the stars we could see were beautiful. "Bella?" He was silent for at least 10 minutes and even though his voice was soft, it startled me.
"Yeah, Jake?" I asked looking over my shoulder to look at him. I could feel his chest beating a mile a minute. Even when he ran for miles his heart didn't beat this quickly. I held his hand as he wrapped it around my stomach. He sighed before moving to stand in front of me.
"Just promise you won't run away." I laughed a little.
"I'm not going to run away." I answered resting my hand on his face. "You can tell me anything." I smiled looking into his eyes.
"I love you." He blurted. I blushed but tried to hide it. I knew he loved me. "I am so in love with you and I know we're young and we haven't been together for that long but I really really am in love with you." Before he could say anything further, I smashed my lips to his. He dug into finger's into my hips as I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my chest to his the best that I could. We had said I love you before but this time it felt so real.
He smiled into the kiss making me giggle against his lips.
"I love you." I whispered opening my eyes to look at him. He lifted me and I wrapped my legs around him. He rested his hands on the back of my thighs while carrying me back to the house. I was going to miss these nights with him. The times when he could come over at midnight and we could go explore. I was very lucky that I got the summer with him to be a teenager. I knew that this would most likely be the last summer where we got to do those things. Next summer, we'll both probably be working.
When we got back to the house he set me down on the porch and we both walked in. Charlie was in the living room watching some sporting event that caught Jacob's eye for a second.
"I'm gonna go shower." I announced to them both. Charlie gave us both a look when Jacob stood up to follow behind me. My eyes widened as I realized that he was planning on joining me. "Um." He smiled at me. "Dad-" I started to say.
"Be respectful." He answered before I could say anything. I couldn't believe he was actually going to let Jake shower with me. We hadn't done that before. Every time I slept over his house, he was usually still asleep when I got in the shower. It wasn't that I didn't want him to shower with me, it was something I always wanted to do with him, but doing it with my dad home. I wasn't so sure it was a good idea. We had done some sexual stuff with my dad in the house but we hadn't had full on sex while he was here.
Jacob followed behind me to the bathroom. I wasn't even sure if we were both going to fit in there. But he seemed determined as he turned on the water and I locked the door. I knew Charlie wouldn't come barging in here but still. I wrapped my arms around him and grabbed the back of his shirt to pull it over his head.
He quickly got my shirt off and admired my bra. It was white lace that I picked out just for him.
"Now this, is lovely." I smiled looking up at him. This was going to be a tough shower to get through. Before he could remove anymore of my clothes, I grabbed a towel to set on the floor to step on once we get out. When I turned back to him, he was fully naked and stepping into the shower. I quickly took the rest of my clothes off before stepping in behind him. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his back.
I reached my hands around and ran them down his abs just above where I knew he wanted me most.
"Bella." He breathed out. "We promised we would be respectful."
"You might have, but I didn't say anything to him." I smirked grabbing him in my hand. He hissed as I pumped my hand. He reached behind him to hold me against him. I smiled and ran my other hand over his abs and to his free hand. He leaned back a little giving me a better view of him in my hand. Soft moans left his mouth and I could have sworn I heard a growl in the back of his throat.
"Bella." He whined biting his hand. I watched him cum in my hand and let it get washed away by the water. It took him a few minutes to recover before he turned to me but I quickly turned to grab the shampoo. I quickly squirted some into my hand before rubbing it into my hair. He grabbed it from me to do his own before pulling me to his chest. "Payback." He whispered in my ear before sucking on my neck. He slowly dragged his hand down my side, and down the side of my thigh before reaching to my inner thigh to spread them apart.
I leaned into him as he found my clit and pressed his thumb against me. He held me up with his other hand as he fingered me. I fully leaned my body into him while I let the pleasure take over my body. I made sure to keep my noises to a minimum knowing that no matter what, he would still be able to hear me.
"Jacob." I moaned moving my head so I could see his face. "Please." I whined.
"What do you need?" He asked. I grabbed his arm as I moaned.
"Faster." His finger rubbing my clit moved just fast enough for me to orgasm over his fingers. I threw my head back into his shoulder as I moaned.
"Shhh, Bella." He whispered as he brought his fingers to his mouth and sucked them off. I turned and pulled his head down to me by the back of his neck so I could kiss him. I got the slight taste of the shampoo in my mouth but that didn't seem to stop either of us.
"We have to hurry or he'll know that there's something going on in here." I said before grabbing the conditioner. He held run it through my hair. Every so often his finger's would massage my head. "I love you."
"I love you." He answered helping me rinse out my hair. He stepped out before me and I swear it was just so he could check me out fully naked and wet. He smirked before wrapping the towel around me. I let my wet hair fall down my shoulder's. I grabbed our clothes while he wrapped a towel around himself. I went into my bedroom with him hot on my tail. He shut the door behind him and tried to grab my towel but I shooed him away to shut the blinds. He dried off and put his boxer's on before getting into bed.
I dried myself and quickly put on a tank top and a pair of panties. I dried my hair with the same towel before getting into bed with him.
"Big day tomorrow." He said when I laid beside him and brought one of my legs up to rest on him. He right away held my thigh as I rested beside him.
"I know." I smiled a little. I was excited to start this new chapter of my life. But I was scared of leaving him here. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy. I also knew that he had a loyalty to the pack and that he wouldn't be able to come visit when either of us wanted him too. I was however thankful that at least Embry would be there with me. And maybe we would have some classes together. Although he seemed to think that he was in the "dumber" classes as he put it.
"I'm gonna miss you a lot." He said holding me closer as his finger's gently rubbed along my thigh. He quickly threw the blanket over me before the door swung open.
"Good night, Kids." Charlie said as he stood at the door, hand on the knob.
"Good night." We both answered before the door clicked shut. We would have to be up early to make the 8 hour trip. Move in was around 2pm which means that to get there on time we would have to leave around 6am. I was not looking forward to that but knew that we could sleep in the car. I closed my eyes as Jake kept rubbing my thigh, putting me into a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, the alarm went off at 5:45. It gave us just enough time to get dressed, have something to eat really fast and then get in the car. Jacob got in the front seat while I got in the back.
"Got everything?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah." I buckled myself in and then rested my head against the window as he pulled out of the driveway. "I'm gonna really miss Lou and Daisy."
"What are we? Chopped liver?" Jake asked in his groggy morning voice.
"Yeah. I only keep you around for fun." I joked. I reached up and ran my finger's through his hair. Before I could take my hand away he grabbed it.
About four hours into the ride, we stopped to go the bathroom. We also got some breakfast sandwiches and coffees. Jacob took over driving for Charlie. For the next two hours I slept. I didn't wake up until Jake decided to turn on the radio.
"How much longer?" I asked sitting up a little straighter and running my finger's through my hair.
"About two hours." Jake answered as he drove.
"Okay so let's get you moved in and then I'll treat you both to some food." Charlie said as we pulled up to the school. It was huge. Thankfully tomorrow would be a day to explore and be shown around the campus. Classes didn't start until next week.
Jacob pulled up and got in line where everyone else was. I had the paperwork where I was assigned which building I would be in. I suddenly got nervous. I knew that they weren't going to just leave me here but it was going to be really hard to be 8 hours away from Jacob and Charlie. We followed the line until we got to the front. A few older students were standing there with bins. We all got out and quickly started loading the bin.
Jacob did most of the heavy lifting knowing damn well that I wouldn't be able to do it and he didn't want Charlie to get hurt. Once the car was empty and my things were in the bin, Charlie went off to park the car while Jacob and I headed inside and up to the fourth floor where my dorm room was. I had gotten my keycard in the mail last week and checked to make sure it worked before pushing the door open.
The room was like any other dorm. Small. Two beds. Two wooden desks pushed up next to each other under the windows. I chose the bed on the right side of the room. Jacob helped me make the bed right away and got on it, claiming that it was uncomfortable. Charlie came in a few minutes later. I had my own little closet with shelves above it which I was thankful for. I would hang my clothes later.
They were getting the fridge set up while I was organizing my things when my roommate came in.
"Hey!" She shouted smiling at me. She reminded me a lot of Angela. She was about my height but had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. "I'm Maya." She smiled shaking my hand.
"Bella." I smiled shaking hers. "This is my boyfriend, Jacob. And my dad, Charlie." I introduced them.
"Nice to meet you guys." She smiled. Behind her came another girl who looked just like her but was younger, then a man and a woman. I'm assuming her family. "This is my sister, Maci. And my parents, Steve and Melanie." She smiled.
"Hi." I smiled at them. "We're just setting up the fridge so as soon as it's done we can put our cold stuff in there." I answered. I moved out of the way so that her family could come in. We left the door open and I opened the window as it started to get stuffy in there.
"I swear to god." I heard Jake mumbled. They were having trouble getting it out of the box. "Where is Embry?" He asked. I knew that Embry was on the same floor as me. I don't know how that worked out but I'm thankful he was so close.
"You rang." Embry said coming into the room smiling. He introduced himself to everyone before going over to Jake. "You lift it and I'll hold the box down." When that plan didn't work, Embry ripped the side of the box. We were trying to keep the box in tact so that we could store it for next year.
"Bro." Jake shook his head. Then, the rest of the pack came in. Maya and her family looked alarm as they all came into the room. Quil and Jared sat on my bed while Sam sat on my desk. Paul sat in the desk chair. Seth and Leah didn't come. I'm sure Sue didn't want them traveling 8 hours away from home.
"Maya these are my friends. Sam, Quil, Embry, Paul, and Jared." I introduced her to them. They all gave her a little wave and she gave them a polite smile. "They won't be here most of the time. I promise." I answered.
"I'm gonna be stealing your food." Embry answered.
"Embry goes here."
"I live down the hall in case you need anything." Thankfully they all came empty handed and there was no alcohol or weed stashed anywhere in the dorm. The guys helped both of us lift our beds so that we could store stuff under them. Of course it was then difficult for us to climb in but still, it gave us a lot of extra room. Her parents lived close by and Charlie made sure to get their number in case anything happened. I hung up most of my clothes but saved my underwear and bras for when everyone left.
Maya helped me put all of our cold things into the fridge. She thankfully bought a microwave so that we could heat things up. Once things were put away and mostly organized, we ventured out to check out campus. Jacob held my hand as we walked. Maya and her sister walked next to us. Conversation between us flowed easily. I then learned that she was hoping to get into the nursing program. Right now I was majoring in English. I had decided that I wanted to be an editor.
The pack followed closely behind us. Embry so often pointing out buildings to us. Our parents walked behind us letting us bond together and get to know each other.
"How long have you guys been together?" Maya asked.
"Four months." I smiled. We didn't really have an exact day. At least not one that I was thinking of. "But we've been friends since we were kids." I answered.
"Ah. I see." She smiled. Jake squeezed my hand and I looked at him and smiled. "Childhood sweethearts." She laughed.
"Yeah, it's disgusting." Embry said behind us, shoving Jake a little.
"You're just jealous that I have a girlfriend and you don't." Jake rolled his eyes. I was getting worried about where the conversation was heading. None of them had a filter and I wasn't sure if Maya's family was comfortable with how we talked to each other. We were all fully comfortable with each other and often talked about random and sexual things. In front of my father, I needed them to calm down.
"Should we get some food?" Charlie's voice from the back saved me from being totally embarrassed. "I think I saw a food truck when we pulled in." We all then made our way over to the food truck which was apparently a new thing that they started to welcome the freshman.
We all ordered food and sat around eating and talking. But I knew that they were going to have to head back soon. I knew that it was getting later and that the later they left, the later they would get home.
When I finished my food I turned to Jacob.
"As much as I don't want to leave you here, I think we gotta go." He frowned at me. I hugged him tight. These next few weeks were going to be extremely difficult without having them here. "I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you." I let go and stood so that I could say my goodbye's to Charlie. Jacob said his goodbye's to Embry before coming back over to me.
"If you change your mind at any time, call me. I'll come get you." He kissed my head. "Call me before you go to sleep."
"I will." I smiled. I hugged him one last time before he left with Charlie. Maya's family left soon after. Embry pretty much sent his mom away as soon as he possibly can. He was looking forward to the freedom and thankfully he could still phase and we would have direct connects to the pack.
We walked back into the dorms and there was a huge group of people sitting in the lobby. Embry went to join them and I followed behind him not wanting to be totally alone yet. Maya shrugged and followed us.
"Bella, this is my roommate, Connor. Connor this is Bella." I shook his hand and sat down beside Embry.
"How did you two meet?" Connor asked.
"She's dating my buddy." Embry answered. A lot of little conversations were happening around us. "And this is her roommate, Maya right?"
"Yeah." She answered shaking Connor's hand. At some point the RA's came out and introduced themselves. We had a guy and a girl and they said that they would be available for whatever we needed.
"Bella, I know you're a goody two shoes but I will be taking you to a party to get smashed at some point this year." Embry commented as we headed to his room. He wanted me to know where it was in case I needed him. On the way to his dorm I found the bathrooms. I wasn't looking forward to showering in there.
"Fine but we have to bring Jake. I told him I would." I answered as he opened his door. His dorm was already a mess. I helped him get his things organized and his bed made so at least he could have a goodnights sleep. "Are you happy that you don't have to run patrol anymore?" I asked as I sat at his desk.
"Yeah but that just means one of the other's has to pick up my days." He sighed. "I'm just glad that my mom can't ground me anymore for sneaking out." I laughed. I looked at the clock on the wall and sighed. It was late and I was exhausted.
"I think I'm gonna turn in. Come over tomorrow and we can do more exploring." I smiled at him.
"I heard about this great burger place we should to." He commented as Connor came in. Of course Embry had no problem taking his shirt off and getting into bed. I had seen him shirtless pretty much every day. "Good night, Bells." He smiled.
"Good night." I headed off to my room and Maya was laying in bed. "I'm gonna change." I said to her.
"I won't look." I chuckled while I grabbed my pj's and changed. There was no way I was going all the way down the bathrooms just to change. I quickly got into bed and called Jacob.
"Hey." I could hear his exhaustion through the phone.
"Hi. I'm going to bed just wanted to call and say good night. How far away from home are you?"
"Roughly two hours." They would get home around midnight. "Probably just gonna sleep in your bed tonight. I'm exhausted."
"I know. Me too. Thanks for coming today though." I smiled. Charlie and I had a made a deal that if I was having a miserable time here, I had to stick it out until Thanksgiving. After that if I really didn't want to go back, I wouldn't have to. Of course if I was miserable Jacob would come and get me long before Thanksgiving.
"Of course. I wouldn't have missed it." I knew that the conversation probably wasn't going to be long. "Get some rest, Bells. Call me in the morning if you wish."
"Take of my Lou." I said making him laugh.
"I will. Good night."
"Good night." I answered before hanging up. "Want me to shut off the light?" I asked Maya. Thankfully we both had switches next to our beds so I wouldn't have to get out of bed to shut it off.
"Sure." She answered but I saw her turn over to face me as I flicked it off. "Are you and your boyfriend serious?" She asked.
"Well, in what terms do you mean serious?" I asked.
"I mean like, do you wanna marry him?" She asked. I smiled at the thought.
"Yeah." I answered. It wasn't something that either of us were going to rush into right now but maybe after college and when I have a decent job. I would love to marry him and get him a cute little house in La Push. "I mean, we've discussed it but it's not going to happen anytime soon." I answered.
"Do you have sex?" She asked which made me blush. I just met this girl and she's asking really person questioned.
"Uh. Yeah." I answered wanting the conversation to end there.
"He's very nice. His friends are too. It's rare for a group of guys to be that nice." She commented.
"Yeah they are. They all come from really nice families. I mean obviously everyone has their baggage but they all see life from a different perspective. They're good people." I smiled. "They look out for each other." I added.
We talked for a little while longer. I learned that her biological mom died in child birth with her younger sister. I told her about my parents and how my mom remarried but my dad didn't. And although I wasn't alone. Even though Maya was right there and Embry was down the hall, I still felt lonely.
