EPOV

I stood there, jaw clenched.

"This is Jake, my "partner in crime"," She introduced, making little airquotes. "He's visiting from San Diego."

"Jake, this is my boyfriend, Edward."

He seemed, well, intimidating. I felt like he was gonna squish me or something. He was fucking huge. I mean, possibly bigger than Emmett.

"Nice to meet you, Bella's boyfriend," He said cheerfully, holding out his hand.

"Jake, his name's Edward," Bella chastised, slapping his shoulder playfully.

He gave Bella a quick smile.

"Nice to meet you, Edward," He said, holding out his hand once again. I nodded slowly and took it.

"Nice to meet you too, Jacob," I said, shaking his hand firmly.

He smiled and gestured for us to take a seat in the booth.

"So, are you guys gonna get something?" He asked us, pointing to the counter up front.

"Um, yeah," I said, getting up. "Bell, what do you want?"

"Don't be silly! I'll come with you," She said, getting up.

She turned to Jake. "The usual?"

"Yup," He said, smiling.

She smiled back and made her way to the counter.

"You go first," I whispered to her.

She nodded and stepped up to talk to the employee at the register.

"One strawberry frozen yogurt and one chocolate-vanilla swirl, please."

"On cones?"

"Yes please," She said, digging out some bills from her pocket.

"Bella, that's not necessary," I said, pulling out a ten and five dollar bill.

"But-"

I already placed the five on the counter and the employee took it.

"Fine," She huffed. "But the next place that we go to, I'm paying."

I chuckled and ordered a coffee ice cream for myself.

"You know, I think you and Jake could be really good friends," She commented, licking her cone on the way back to the booth.

"You think so?" I asked doubtfully.

"Well, yeah. I mean you both have something in common," She continued.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What's that?"

"Me, of course!" She said, wrinkling her nose. Absolutely adorable.

I chuckled as we sat down on our side of the booth. Bella handed Jake his cone and proceeded to lick her frozen yogurt.

He tossed Bella a five.

"Jake!" Bella hissed.

"What?" He asked. "I'm pretty sure Edward paid for you, considering you two were bickering up in front."

"I don't--" I started when he put a hand up.

"Take it," He shrugged.

I nodded slowly and Bella handed me the five.

"So, how long have you guys been together?" Jake asked.

Bella looked at me.

"Like, three days," She said, blushing.

"Fuck, really? I thought like, two weeks or something," Jake commented.

"Well, yeah, ahehe," She said awkwardly. We fell into an uncomfortable silence.

I felt Jake's stare on me as I fixated my eyes on the small painting on the wall, licking my ice cream.

"I need to use the restroom," Bella said, standing up.

No! I wanted to yell. He'll eat me alive!

"Mkay," Jake said. "You want me to hold your cone?"

"Nah," She shrugged. "I'm not that hungry anymore."

She fixed her yellow tank top and gave me a small smile before walking away.

"So, Mr. Edward Cullen," Jake started.

Fuck, first and last names.

"So, Jake," I said nervously.

"Really? Only three days? Cuz I'm pretty sure Bella's been gushing 'bout you since she got that modeling gig," He shrugged.

"Well, erm, we've had a few rough patches in the beginning," I said.

"So I see..." He said, his dark brown eyes staring at me.

"You won't hurt her."

Huh?

"I said, you won't hurt her," He repeated.

Oh, guess I said that out loud.

"I would never hurt her," I said.

"I know you won't," He said. "Because if you do, I'll hunt you down."

I gulped soundly and nodded.

Dammit Bella, hurry up!

"Now that I've gotten the whole 'threaten you with your life' thing over and done, tell me, where did you meet her? She just said that you guys met eachother through the modeling gig."

"We did meet through modeling," I said.

"Hm," He nodded. "You do realize that Charlie's waaaaaaaaay harsher than me. He's got a gun."

"Charlie?" I asked.

"Her dad. If you do get to meet him in your future, I'll pray for you man. He almost shot my head off once cuz Bell decided to leave somewhere without me."

I nodded once more.

"Hey guys."

We both turned our heads to face Bella.

"So, any bonding going between you two? I really thought you guys would like each other," She said, plopping down into her seat.

"Well..." Jake said with a sly smile.

"Oh god, did Jake threaten you?" She turned to ask me.

"Uhh..."

"He did, didn't he? Jake!" She said, swatting his huge arm.

"God, Bells, I do that to most male humans that come within two feet of you!" He said, putting his hands up in surrender.

She rolled her eyes and looked at me apologetically.

"Bella, I gotta run," Jake said, getting up.

Hallelujah!

"Aw, well text me when you're in town again. It was great to see you again," Bella said, getting up to hug him. He squeezed her back tightly before letting her go.

"I guess we should go too?" I asked her.

She nodded and we followed Jake out and to the pole where we chained our bikes up.

"Hey, can we go to the beach for a bit?" She asked me once we got our bikes.

"Sure," I said, mounting my bike.

Of course, Bella took off ahead of me, laughing at me the entire way.

"C'mon, slow poke!" She giggled, pedaling slower as we neared the beach entrance.

"I told you I haven't ridden I bike in some time," I chuckled, chaining my bike next to hers.

"Yeah, yeah," She said doubtfully.

We walked into the beach entrance. A few people were sitting near the shoreline, while some teenagers were frolicking in the water.

"Walk by the shore with me?" Bella asked.

I nodded and took her hand in mine. I was thankful that I wore shorts today, as I didn't want to roll up my pants.

"So, what do you think of Jake?" She asked, kicking the seaweed that washed up on shore.

"He's...huge," I sighed. She giggled quietly and squeezed my hand.

"But, he approves our relationship. Well, the start of our relationship."

"It felt longer than three measly days," I said.

"Yeah," She sighed, squinting into the sun. "Do you think it will last?"

"Us?" I asked.

"Mhm."

"I sure hope so," I mumbled.

She took a deep breath of the ocean water.

"Edward?"

"Hm?"

"Tell me what you really thought about him," She said, looking into my eyes.

"Honestly, he scared the shit out of me."

And...cue the laughter!

Now, you can review and bash me all you want about updating, I know I would.
