[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.


[Room-Filtered]

[ 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.

Ye- no.

[ innocent face; she's chilled out after the initial OH MY GOD I'M GONNA DIE shock ]

[shirtless]

Why else would I be dragging you outside alone for?

[ he isn't quite thinking of what SHE was thinking, not yet. he purposely runs over another bump to get a rise out of her ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

I-- oomph! [ she flashes him a quick glare with that bump ] --no reason. Besides the motorcycles, that is.

[shirtless]

I wanted to ride the bike. I even thought that if you straddled my lap we could pull it off. But [ lifts their hands ] I'd need this hand for the bike's clutch.

((ooc: STRADDLING. GIDDY UP, BELLS.))

[ blushing forever. good one, jake. now she feels like a huge pervert ]

A-ah... right. Right, of course. Yeah.

[shirtless]

[ they're heading up a steady incline up a hill, and he looks over at her ]

You can pick what we do next, if you want.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ ducking down a little so he can't see her face ]

That's... alright. This was a good choice. I'm having fun, really.

[shirtless]

[ eyes on the road, Jake, you don't wanna crash ]

Really? I'm glad. This is actually the first time I've ever tried out one of these things. [ laughs ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

We're not dead yet, so I'd say you're doing pretty well. Especially with one hand.

[shirtless]

[ he's thinking it, but he's not going to make a comment about that! ]

I'd never let anything hurt you. You should know that by now.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

I know. And you know I'm teasing you, yeah? [ squeezes his hand gently ]

[shirtless]

Sure, sure. [ he grins ]

[ they reach the top of the hill they've been climbing. from the top, they have a gorgeous view of a picturesque valley, lush and green with small bodies of water. behind them they can see the castle in the distance and the city surrounding it.

Jake honestly did not know this was here. he parks the buggy and leans over the wheel. ]

Whoa.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she looks surprised too, looking out at the scene before them and sitting up a little in her seat ]

...seriously, whoa. Did you plan this?

[shirtless]

Can I lie and take credit for it?

This is... wow. Amazing.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

I'd say. Good work, casanova. Even if it was an accident.

[shirtless]

Casanova, huh? I take it this earns me a few points. [ he tugs her into him ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ whoa. after all those dirty thoughts before, she's blushing full force again, not meeting his gaze ]

You need to earn points with me, at this point?

[shirtless]

Not really, but it's nice to rack them up and save them for a rainy day. [ he rests his head upon hers ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she hesitates, and then reaches up to rest her palm against his cheek ]

And how often have I been unhappy with you? Once or twice, and it lasts a whole five minutes, usually.

[shirtless]

Since we've been here.

[ he... didn't mean for that to slip out, really. ]

And I'm glad for that. It's weird. Things seems so much... simpler here.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she blinks and drops her hand, looking at him strangely for a few moments ]

Well... I was being stupid over that loss, wasn't I? Jealous. [ she makes a face ]

It does. Uncomplicated.

[shirtless]

Y'know, I actually don't mind. It's kind of nice to know you were jealous. Not that I meant for you to be, but... Kinda feels good to know you care that much.

I know I moaned and groaned about being here, especially because of what this place took from me, but... [ squeezes her hand ] right now I have no complaints.

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ serious face now; she looks away, avoiding his gaze. ]

I can't tell you how much it actually bothered me. I felt pretty stupid. You're like... [ she huffs a little in frustration at herself as she searches for the right words, finally forcing herself to look up at him ]

It's not fair to you, but you're mine and I didn't really like having to share you, loss or not. And it's horrible and selfish of me, but I can't... help it.

[shirtless]

[ he's stunned. this is the first time he's ever heard her refer to him like that. he's only ever heard her call Edward hers, but hearing that word... "mine"... ]

I don't mind being yours. At all. You can have me! [ a slightly nervous/flustered/excited/woah kind of chuckle ]

[dazzledbylight.livejournal.com]

[ she's surprised, too, looking back at him a little incredulously ]

Wha-- I mean. You're... really?
