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 shrug, and he's nuzzling her again, whispering into her ear ]

But we're here to play checkers, not talk about your bra.

[ a gasp. she leans her head into his, fluttering her eyes shut a little ]

I'm still not very... skilled at this game, you know.

[ a scoff ]

Like I am? You played a pretty good game before.

[ her eyebrows raise up ]

I did?

Uh, yeah? [ a nervous laugh ] You definitely made up for anything I might've done to make things awkward.

And how do I know you're not just flattering me to get me into bed, Jacob Black?

[ a pause ] Er. Even more into bed, at least.

You let me rip off your shirt with my teeth. I think it's safe to say we're good to go even without me telling you things that make you blush like crazy.

You say a lot of things that make me blush like crazy. I'm pretty sure you really enjoy it.

I can't help it if you blush easily and I think it's adorable!

I should really be used to it by now.

And so should you, sheesh.

It never gets old.

You are easily entertained, man.

Sometimes.

[ have a hand sliding up your side, Bella! ]

All the time.

[ she shivers but doesn't react further, just watching his face ]

Maybe.

[ his lips aren't far behind~ ]

You are-- [ shudder ] --how is this going to work partially one-handed, anyways?

Same as everything else. [ he kisses his way upward ] We just play it by ear.

[ that whole being way warmer than the average human sure comes in handy during times like this; she closes her eyes against the heat of his kisses ]

You can't-- ah. Rip me like you ripped my clothes, though.

[ he actually laughs at that, and looks up at her ]

Hey, I was gentle before, wasn't I?

You were. You always are. [ she smiles up at him sweetly, and then a mischievous, bold expression lights up her face. She braces herself, lifting both her legs to wrap around his waist, using all her weight to roll them over--

--and off the bed. ]

[ he hits the ground with a loud OOF! followed by uncontrollable laughter. he rolls onto his back, laughing to the point where he literally cannot breathe and his face turns beet red. he finally manages a gasp of breath ]

What the heck was that!

[ oh my god. she wants to die. please. right there. she can't even escape because she's still attached to him, and not to mention, not wearing a shirt. the best she can do is scramble up a little, despite her sore knees and even more sore pride, turning her face away from him and scowling at the wall ]

N-nothing! Obviously! I was trying to get o-on.. top.

[ sorry, Bella, but he's still laughing! he really tries to regain his composure, but in the meantime he reaches up and pulls her back onto him, hugging her to his body ]

[ she grooooans, covering her face with her hand, the rest of it hiding against his chest. really, stuff like this only ever happens to her ]

Shut up already, Jacob Black.

I-I'm... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. [ he takes a few deep breaths to calm himself down ]

Don't look like that, either. You have no reason to be embarrassed in front of me of all people. [ he tucks her hair behind her ear ]
