“I’m in love with you; Bella;” Jacob said in a strong; sure voice。 “Bella; I love you。 And I want you to pick
me instead of him。 I know you don’t feel that way; but I need the truth out there so that you know your
options。 I wouldn’t want a miscommunication to stand in our way。”
15。 WAGER
I STARED AT HIM FOR A LONG MINUTE; SPEECHLESS。 I could not think of one thing to say to him。
As he watched my dumbfounded expression; the seriousness left his face。
“Okay;” he said; grinning。 “That’s all。”
“Jake —” It felt like there was something big sticking in my throat。 I tried to clear the obstruction。 “I can’t
— I mean I don’t 。 。 。 I have to go。”
I turned; but he grabbed my shoulders and spun me around。
“No; wait。 I know that; Bella。 But; look; answer me this; all right? Do you want me to go away and never
see you again? Be honest。”
It was hard to concentrate on his question; so it took a minute to answer。 “No; I don’t want that;” I finally
admitted。
Jacob grinned again。 “See。”
“But I don’t want you around for the same reason that you want me around;” I objected。
“Tell me exactly why you want me around; then。”
I thought carefully。 “I miss you when you’re not there。 When you’re happy;” I qualified carefully; “it makes
me happy。 But I could say the same thing about Charlie; Jacob。 You’re family。 I love you; but I’m not in love
with you。”
He nodded; unruffled。 “But you do want me around。”
“Yes。” I sighed。 He was impossible to discourage。
“Then I’ll stick around。”
“You’re a glutton for punishment;” I grumbled。
“Yep。” He stroked the tips of his fingers across my right cheek。 I slapped his hand away。
“Do you think you could behave yourself a little better; at least?” I asked; irritated。
“No; I don’t。 You decide; Bella。 You can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — or not at
all。”
I stared at him; frustrated。 “That’s mean。”
“So are you。”
That pulled me up short; and I took an involuntary step back。 He was right。 If I wasn’t mean — and
greedy; too — I would tell him I didn’t want to be friends and walk away。 It was wrong to try to keep my
friend when that would hurt him。 I didn’t know what I was doing here; but I was suddenly sure that it wasn’t
good。
“You’re right;” I whispered。
He laughed。 “I forgive you。 Just try not to get too mad at me。 Because I recently decided that I’m not
giving up。 There really is something irresistible about a lost cause。”
“Jacob。” I stared into his dark eyes; trying to make him take me seriously。 “I love him; Jacob。 He’s my
whole life。”
“You love me; too;” he reminded me。 He held up his hand when I started to protest。 “Not the same way; I
know。 But he’s not your whole life; either。 Not anymore。 Maybe he was once; but he left。 And now he’s just
going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me。”
I shook my head。 “You’re impossible。”
Suddenly; he was serious。 He took my chin in his hand; holding it firmly so that I couldn’t look away from
his intent gaze。
“Until your heart stops beating; Bella;” he said。 “I’ll be here — fighting。 Don’t forget that you have
options。”
“I don’t want options;” I disagreed; trying to yank my chin free unsuccessfully。 “And my heartbeats are
numbered; Jacob。 The time is almost gone。”
His eyes narrowed。 “All the more reason to fight — fight harder now; while I can;” he whispered。
He still had my chin — his fingers holding too tight; till it hurt — and I saw the resolve form abruptly in his
eyes。
“N —” I started to object; but it was too late。
His lips crushed mine; stopping my protest。 He kissed me angrily; roughly; his other hand gripping tight
around the back of my neck; making escape impossible。 I shoved against his chest with all my strength; but he
didn’t even seem to notice。 His mouth was soft; despite the anger; his lips molding to mine in a warm;
unfamiliar way。
I grabbed at his face; trying to push it away; failing again。 He seemed to notice this time; though; and it
aggravated him。 His lips forced mine open; and I could feel his hot breath in my mouth。
Acting on instinct; I let my hands drop to my side; and shut down。 I opened my eyes and didn’t fight;
didn’t feel 。 。 。 just waited for him to stop。
It worked。 The anger seemed to evaporate; and he pulled back to look at me。 He pressed his lips softly to
mine again; once; twice 。 。 。 a third time。 I pretended I was a statue and waited。
Finally; he let go of my face and leaned away。
“Are you done now?” I asked in an expressionless voice。
“Yes;” he sighed。 He started to smile; closing his eyes。
I pulled my arm back and then let it snap forward; punching him in the mouth with as much power as I
could force out of my body。
There was a crunching sound。
“Ow! OW!” I screamed; frantically hopping up and down in agony while I clutched my hand to my chest。
It was broken; I could feel it。
Jacob stared at me in shock。 “Are you all right?”
“No; dammit! You broke my hand!”
“Bella; you broke your hand。 Now stop dancing around and let me look at it。”
“Don’t touch me! I’m going home right now!”
“I’ll get my car;” he said calmly。 He wasn’t even rubbing his jaw like they did in the movies。 How pathetic。
“No; thanks;” I hissed。 “I’d rather walk。” I turned toward the road。 It was only a few miles to the border。
As soon as I got away from him; Alice would see me。 She’d send somebody to pick me up。
“Just let me drive you home;” Jacob insisted。 Unbelievably; he had the nerve to wrap his arm around my
waist。
I jerked away from him。
“Fine!” I growled。 “Do! I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck; you
pushy; obnoxious; moronic DOG!”
Jacob rolled his eyes。 He walked me to the passenger side of his car and helped me in。 When he got in the
driver’s side; he was whistling。
“Didn’t I hurt you at all?” I asked; furious and annoyed。
“Are you kidding? If you hadn’t started screaming; I might not have figured out that you were trying to
punch me。 I may not be made out of stone; but I’m not that soft。”
“I hate you; Jacob Black。”
“That’s good。 Hate is a passionate emotion。”
“I’ll give you passionate;” I muttered under my breath。 “Murder; the ultimate crime of passion。”
“Oh; c’mon;” he said; all cheery and looking like he was about to start whistling again。 “That had to be
better than kissing a rock。”
“Not even remotely close;” I told him coldly。
He pursed his lips。 “You could just be saying that。”
“But I’m not。”
That seemed to bother him for a second; but then he perked up。 “You’re just mad。 I don’t have any
experience with this kind of thing; but I thought it was pretty incredible myself。”
