[Private]
As quick as he came, he's gone again. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the bloodsucker's gone. But I don't get to enjoy it because every time he leaves I have to look at her face again. And I see just how... It makes me think of when he left her the first time. None of the Cullens ever saw her like I saw her. They can say all they want, but they're the ones that always hurt her. He left her ALONE IN THE FUCKING FOREST for God's sake. He's lucky Sam was able to find her. She was just a big VOID until I came around and kept her company. THAT is why I'm better for her. Because I don't play games like that. And I don't come with any life or death choices or vampire mafias or any of that.

Yeah, whatever. The castle brought him and took him away, not his fault. But that doesn't change the fact that she's hurting again because of him.

[ After letting out his frustrations, Jake throws his pen and huffs loudly. Then, he turns to Bella, tugging on her hand a bit. ]

C'mon. We're getting some fresh air.

[ a little meekly ]

'kay. Are you mad?

[shirtless]

[ taken aback by this ]

What? No. [ he places his hand on her cheek ] Never at you.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she leans into his hand slightly & smiles ]

Well. You threw your pen.

[shirtless]

Oh.

It ran out of ink, that's all. [ he gently strokes her cheek with his thumb ]

You still want a distraction, don't you?

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. What'd you have in mind? [ she puts her hand softly over his ]

[shirtless]

[ a grin ]

Remember those helmets I said I had?

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

Oh, so. You're actually going to ride with me this time? Are you sure you don't have some other girl to swoon over?

[shirtless]

Not fair. I was totally on a loss!

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

You still stood me up. I sat on the floor of my room and wept helplessly for hours upon hours.

[ teaaasing ]

[shirtless]

[ stifles a laugh ]

You are the worst liar ever, Bells.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

But I'm pretty sure that's a good quality in a person, yeah?

[ she elbows him lightly ]

[shirtless]

Works for me!

Now c'mon. We're going for a ride.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

How's this gonna work with us being. Uh... connected?

[shirtless]

[ he's already pulling her to her feet and toward the door ]

Don't worry about that. I've got it covered.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

God, you have a lot of energy. [ she grins and catches up a little, falling in step beside him ]

...you know. It's lucky you can't phase right now.

[shirtless]

Ha! Wouldn't that be awkward? I'd have to walk on my hind legs with you holding onto one of my front paws.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

Mm.

I like it this way much better. [ she squeezes his hand ]

...except your legs are about a mile longer than mine.

[shirtless]

[ he glances down at her with a grin ]

Not my fault your legs are so short.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

And not mine that you're a gigantic walking flagpole. Give me a piggyback ride or something.

[shirtless]

[ he turns abruptly toward her and scoops her up with his free arm, holding her in front of him and tightly against him ]

A traditional piggy back is kind of impossible, so... This good enough for you? [ laughs ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she barely holds back a squeal and holds on tight, wrapping her free arm around his neck ]

Whoa. You work fast.

[shirtless]

You asked for it. [ he laughs ] I forgot how light you were. This is a breeze.

((ooc: brb for a bit!))

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ bluuuuushing ]

Am I?

[shirtless]

[ TIMESKIP! and they're heading out the front doors of the castle now ]

I should just go for a run with you clinging to me like this. But I don't think that'd be as much of a thrill as it was when I was a wolf.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

It'd be less scary for me, though. [ she looks obviously pretty comfortable in his arms, oops. ]
