Chapter 1- Bella's World Isn't All It Seems.

Bella awoke this morning with a huge smile on her face. Not only did she finally get to spend the night at her boyfriend's apartment but she also got the best night's sleep she had in a very long time. Being quite an anxious person herself, Bella felt totally at ease around Jacob. He was exactly what she needed.

Jacob Black. The man who swept her off her feet. Literally. Yes, literally. She was bringing a man his coffee when she use to work at Starbucks and somehow one of her legs got tangled in front of the other and she tripped, only to be caught in the arms of one of the customers waiting in line. None other than Jacob Black. He held her and the chemistry was there. Bella was very much embarrassed and apologised to the man whose cappuccino was all over the floor and apologised to Jacob for being so clumsy and ruining his white shirt. Jacob told her it was all good and every day since then she would take his order, bring to him and they got to know each other. She had some minor trips on the way but none as dramatic as the first meeting. It took Jacob one month to finally bring up the courage and ask her out to dinner to which Bella squealed with joy and accepted.

Now, after two years together, Bella still recalled those early days. She lay in Jacob's comfy double bed and stretched out like a cat, content and rested. She knew Jacob wouldn't be there when she woke up. He usually left early in the mornings to go to work. She was still unsure why his law firm he worked for had such early meetings. But she trusted that there was some good excuse. That's not to say Jacob didn't come with his charms. Bella turned to see a small note on the pillow next to her with his writing and a small red rose next to it. Bella opened the note, curious to see what he wrote this time

Hey sleepy head,

Last night was incredible. Missing you already. Don't go tripping up while I'm gone.

Can't wait to see you tonight!

J x.

Bella giggled and lay out on his bed. Yep, definitely a charmer. Bella lay there and planned out her day, she needed to give Jacob a treat for being such a gentleman last night. But what?

Jacob sat at the meeting table, absorbed in Sam's instructions.

"I have no doubt Carlisle is seeing this through. I just hope that we can get there in time before the rest of the people in that field make the same mistake. Embry let me know if you detect anything. Get the information from Jessica. Mike, in case something happens i need you there to keep the situation under control..." Sam continued through everyone listing their duties. Jacob was interrupted by his phone vibrating. He picked it up and saw he got a text message. 'BELLA' was indicated on the screen. He flipped his phone to read the message.

Got a surprise 4 u wen you get home. Luv ya, Bells x

Jacob grinned and closed his phone just in time for Sam to see him

"Jake, sorry to ruin your plans with Bella but you'll have to tell her you'll be late. I don't know how long it could take to capture at least one of the Cullens tonight. I want you on the field overseeing everyone. Keep everything under wraps." Jacob sighed.

"Bella has made plans for tonight. Can't you get Leah to take over?" Sam shook his head

"No Jake. This is far too important. Make up an excuse. Tell her you'll make it up to her." Jake hissed while he snapped his phone open

"It's easy for you isn't it Sammy, your fiancée just happens to be working with us and is several floors below, mine thinks I work in a fucking law firm. Boy you have it hard don't you?" Sam cleared his throat, as he indicated the meeting was over. Everyone picked up their papers and left leaving Sam and Jacob alone. Sam stood over Jacob scowling

"Jake, I told you from day one, getting involved with someone outside this agency is too dangerous and complicated. You knew the hours were unstable. How could you manage to see her regularly? You knew how important it was to have a low profile. Has she not gotten suspicious yet? But most importantly, you are easily putting her life in danger if the Cullens ever found a loophole. She is your weakness, Jacob. I suggest you end it soon before it gets too far"

Jacob looked at him angrily

"I love her, Sam, I'm sure if i DID tell her she would be understanding." Sam laughed

"Really? You really think so? You lied to her for two years about who you are. She hardly knows you Jacob, realistically. That would upset her. Women don't take this as lightly as you think. I've been there. Take my advice. End it." Sam headed for the door

"I'll expect you out in the field tonight." He then left Jacob to his thoughts. Jacob put his head in his hands and sighed. He flipped his phone open again and wrote a text message reply

Gunna b l8 2nite hun. I'm sori. Don't w8 up. I'll make it up 2 u. J ox

Jacob slammed a fist on the table. This was proving to be very hard and he wasn't sure how much longer he could keep this from Bella. She meant everything to him. Being with her allowed him to forget his job. Even if its for a few hours. Last night was his first night with her, and the sex was amazing but it was Bella being in his arms that comforted him the most. He was head over heels in love with her and splitting up would prove too hard now. His phone suddenly vibrated again and he opened it.

K

Jacob closed the phone. He had hurt her. He didn't have a choice. He picked up his papers and walked out of the meeting room angrily.
