Chapter Seven

(BELLA POV)

Another great day on the ship.

Kinda.

I state 'kinda' because the first thing I did this morning was fall out of the bed and twist my ankle. Then I almost tripped on my way to breakfast which would have resulted in me falling into the breakfast tray that would have created a bigger problem.

I sat in a chair soaking up some sun when a shadow was cast over me. I opened my eyes to see Emmett standing there with a smile that lit up his face.

How anyone was immune to those dimples, I would never know.

"Hey, Emmett" I smiled moving my hand up to block the sun from my eyes when he moved to sit by me.

"Hello, Bella. How are doing? I saw you limping earlier at breakfast but didn't want to start some fight with Jacob when I walked over to ask how you were"

I rolled my eyes a bit and shook my head. "You don't have to worry about him. You can talk to me whenever you want to. He isn't my boss"

He smiled and nodded before his teeth dig into his bottom lip.

"Do you want to have dinner with me later?"

I would have gasped in surprised if I didn't think I'd look like an idiot. I was surprised though.

"Um, sure..I mean Yes" I stammered a bit and closed my eyes to fight the feeling of being an idiot.

"Great. I can come by the room later and get you" He smiled and then looked at his cell phone before frowning. "I have to go meet up with Edward, I'll talk to you later?"

"I'll see you around..6:30?"

He nodded and leaned down to kiss my cheek. "see you then"

I smiled fighting the urge to put my hand on my cheek as he left and was in my own zone until I felt someone grab my shoulders and I screamed.

"Geez Bells. Someone is wound up tight eh?"

I frowned at hearing Jake's voice and slapped his arm before he sat down getting comfortable.

"Don't sneak up on me like that you jackass" I complained before exhaling softly. "So are you out here to get some sun? I mean look at how pale you are you albino" I joked.

"Yeah I should share my hue with you. Maybe then you wouldn't look transparent" He winked. "Do you ever even tan or do you just burn and peel to reveal a new layer of pale skin?"

"Shut up you ass" I flipped him off.

"Oh you heart my poor little soul"

I had to roll my eyes and then looked at him seeing he was definitely comfortable. "So what are you doing later? Any big plans?"

"Probably spend time with the guys, they are trying to find ways to throw parties we can break rules in. You should join us. You know you are one of the guys anyways. Unless you are with Leah or something"

I shook my head. "Um, I have a date later actually"

"A date? With who?"

"Emmett" I should have known his reaction.

"What? Do you just like bothering me? I mean, here you are going on a date with a guy I don't like."

I scoffed. "So? You date girls I don't like all of the time so what is the big deal? Its just dinner. I'm a big girl and I can handle myself"

He sighed. "I know you can its just..I don't want you to get hurt by him because he wants to hurt me for things I've done"

"So you think he's doing it to get back at you? Its not always about you Jacob. Can't he just genuinely like me? He used to for awhile when we were younger before you stole his girlfriend"

"That's not what I'm trying to say...its just-"

"Just what?" I interrupted. "Just be happy for me. If he hurts me, then ok you can kick his ass or let me do it but you can't always stop me. I have to date eventually. And one day I will get married and have kids, I can't have babies if I can't even go on a date with someone. I'll be the old lady watching her friends happy while she babysits all their kids and talks to her cats because she's lonely"

He had a serious expression until the end of my conversation and then there was a loud laugh.

"I'd hate to have you talking to your cats, I hate cats" He replied with a smile.

"Shut up. Its not funny, I'm going to be the crazy cat lady"

"Don't worry Bells, " He said putting his hand on my shoulder. "I'd love you anyways. Even with your lack of sanity and bad taste in companionship"

(JACOB POV)

I really didn't want Bella to date Emmett. I didn't trust him. Maybe it was my karma or I felt paranoid but I didn't want her dating someone that I didn't get along with. It didn't sit right with me.

So I sat here on my bed watching her dig through her clothes to find something to wear that she thought he'd like. And a part of me hated him for that.

Not that I was possessive over Bella's attention or anything. I was fine with her hanging out with Quil or Embry, and of course she could hang out with Leah whenever she wanted. I was even ok with her being around that Edward kid sometimes even if I thought he was gay or something.

But with Emmett, it was different. I can't explain it.

"How does this look?"

I looked at Bella as she showed off her outfit.

"Your ass is about to hang out, do you want to be flaunting the goodies?"

She scowled at me and found a different outfit putting on some pencil skirt I know she got from Leah.

"This better?"

I nodded because at least it wasn't revealing even though it made me think of naughty librarians.

There was a knock and she quickly grabbed her things before taking off to the door. She opened it and smiled before saying her goodbyes and leaving.

As soon as she left I took my pillow holding it over my head.

I don't know how long I was laying like that before the door opened.

"You really are pathetic"

I pulled the pillow off of my head and glared at Embry. "Shut up dick. You don't know what I'm doing here"

"I know that Bella just left on a date, and you are moping like a jealous admirer. Why can't you admit you have feelings for her?"

"I fucking don't ok? God." I rolled onto my stomach and growled to myself.

"Thou doth protest too much, methinks"

"fuck you Shakespeare"
