Chapter 18

BELLA P.O.V

It was a very difficult decision to take classes online instead of going back to school at the end of the summer. Instead, I was trying to find an apartment for Jacob and I.

Somehow, more money was being added to my account. I tried to get the bank to send it back. I tried to give it away. But then Jacob convinced me to keep it and pay for an apartment for us. So I've been looking. I was also able to pay for a new washer and dryer set for both of our houses. Charlie never questioned where the money was coming from.

I had no idea why they were sending me money. Edward said it would be as if he never existed. Why would he be sending me money? I was asking a lot of questions that I was never going to get the answer to. Jacob never questioned anything. I felt bad using the money. Every time I paid for something that I wouldn't normally be able to afford, I felt like I was using the Cullen's. I have gotten into multiple fights with Jacob over it. He claimed that it was the least they could do for all they put me through.

We had decided to invite our dads out to dinner to tell them the news that we have decided to move out on our own. I was terrified to tell Charlie. Of course he knew that we weren't going to go far but I was still scared of how he was going to react. Moving out was a huge step for our relationship but I think we were both ready.

We also decided on going out to dinner so that they couldn't make a scene. The chief of police would never have the town talking about him if he had an outburst on his daughter. We hadn't found an apartment yet but it was because we wanted our dads to help us find one. We had no idea what we were looking for.

Jacob held the door of the diner open for all of us. I think they were suspicious of us asking them to go to dinner. Anytime either of us had something to tell them they assumed I was pregnant. Thankfully I was not.

I sat down in my regular seat and they filled in around me. We ordered drinks and our meals before I looked at Jake.

"We gotta talk to you guys." He started.

"Oh god." Charlie sat up higher.

"I'm not pregnant." I sighed. "But we are thinking of getting an apartment together." Billy seemed shocked. Of course we thought about what would happen with Billy. He could do most things on his own but there were some things that Jacob helped him with.

"Wow." Charlie said before Billy could. "Are you sure you're both ready for that?"

"We wanna try at least." I shrugged. "We're not gonna go far." I confirmed. "We'll be here if either of you need anything."

"No." Charlie said.

"What do you mean no?" I asked. Charlie was never really one to say no. He always tended to just let me do what I want without asking many questions.

"Neither of you are old enough to make that decision." He commented. "Neither of you know how difficult it is to run a household." I could beg to differ on that one. I wasn't expecting him to say no. I didn't really think I needed his permission. "If you guys want more privacy fine, we'll think of something but you're not moving out." I looked over at Jake. Of course we wanted more privacy. That was one of the huge reasons we wanted to move out on our own. I just never expected it to be this big of a deal. "Did you mother think this was a great idea?" He asked.

"I haven't told her yet." Jacob's hand squeezed my leg under the table. I guess we both just kinda thought that they would be on board with this. We were both of legal age to move out. They wouldn't stop us if we really wanted to.

"You're not moving out." I huffed leaning back in my chair and crossing my arms. "See, exactly, Bella. Throwing a tantrum because you don't get what you want." Our food was placed in front of us. He right away started cutting into his steak. He was never one to discipline me in public, or ever for that matter.

I quietly ate. In my head I was screaming that I was an adult who could live on her own perfectly fine. Maybe he was just more concerned about me living with Jake. He didn't want us to totally have a place to ourselves without being able to monitor what we were doing. I was annoyed.

Charlie paid for dinner and while he was waiting for his card, I got up and went outside. Jacob followed me and held my hand to calm me down.

"It's not a big deal." He pulled me into his chest.

"I don't know how to run a household? I was balancing my moms checkbook when I was like 10." Let alone the fact that I have fed Charlie almost every single meal since moving in with him. I was annoyed. I had never seen Charlie annoyed with me like this either.

"I know, Honey." He rubbed my back as I wrapped my arms around him.

"I'm not staying there tonight." I said.

"That's fine. We'll go to mine." He rubbed my back. Charlie and Billy both came out. I kept my back turned to them as Jacob told them that we were heading back to La Push.

"I'll stay with Charlie tonight." Billy commented. "Have a good night kids."

"Good night." We both called before heading to Jacob's car. He held open the door for me. I slid in and he leaned down to kiss me.

"Wanna go see everyone at the beach?" He asked.

"Yeah." He ran around the front of the car and got in before heading to the beach. He held my hand the whole time, the radio was quietly playing music. "We had our first kiss here." He smiled.

"That we did." I smiled leaning into him a little as he pulled into the parking lot. I could already see the fire blazing high into the sky. I could just barely make out a few bodies. I got out and slowly made my way over the group. Kim and Rachel were sitting together talking about wedding plans even though neither of them were engaged. I sat down next to Emily who was wrapped up in a blanket. Jacob sat between my legs and rested his head on my stomach. "Where are the guys?" I asked.

"Swimming." Sam answered. Only him and Seth were sitting here with us. I looked over to the empty log where their clothes were.

"Are they naked?" I asked. Sam just nodded. Which means that when they came back we were all going to get an eye full.

"C'mon Bella and Jake! Don't be a baby."

"I'm not coming in naked." No way would I get naked in front of all of them.

"C'mon! I've already seen you naked." Paul said. Everyone went silent. Rachel's head snapped over to me.

"What?" She asked.

"He walked in on me and Jake." I shook my head. "He has not seen me naked on purpose." I confirmed. "And they all share a mind." I rolled my eyes. I really wish I could have avoided them all seeing me naked but Jacob let me know that Paul get's him back all the time. I'm sure it was the most uncomfortable thing for all of them. Sam said that usually he let's whoever is thinking those things phase back so the rest of them don't need to be tortured with it.

"C'mon! You big babies!" Paul shouted. Jacob stood up, kissed me deep and walked over to the log. He stepped out of his shorts while the girls screamed before running towards the water. I huffed before standing and taking my shirt and shorts off. I'm sure the water was freezing cold but Jacob's body would keep me warm. There was no way I was getting fully nude but I was going in. No one was going to call me a baby.

I ran towards the water and shrieked the second my foot touched the cold water. I ran right into Jacob who tackled me under the water. When I got back up the surface he held me close to keep my warm. I wrapped my arms and legs around him. I couldn't see the other guys around us but could hear them laughing and joking with each other. Jacob slipped one of his finger's into my panties and gently grazed my clit.

"Perfect way to do it." He whispered. Goosebumps ran over my entire body, my nipples were so hard they could cut through glass. I nodded as he moved my panties to the side and gently thrust into me. I wasn't even sure how he could get hard with the water being so cold. I gripped his shoulder's hard knowing that if I made even a little noise, they would know exactly what we were doing.

He kept his thrusts slow but his finger's made quick work on my clit. I closed my eyes and leaned my body fully into him. My orgasm was building fast and I knew that he knew. He thrust a few more times harder before pinching my clit and sending me over the edge. I threw my head back in a silent moan as he finished inside me. We hadn't been doing too good with the condom thing.

He thrust into me a few more times for good measure before pulling out. He held onto me as I kissed him. I ran my hands up and down his back as he moved to kiss my neck. Even in his arms, I was shivering. He carried me out of the water and started heading back up to the beach.

"C'mon, Jake! Seriously!" Rachel shouted covering her eyes. He set me down so we could get dressed. We warmed up in each other's arms and by the fire. Eventually the rest of the guys joined us.

"So we told our dads that we've decided to move out." Jake started. "They said no." He pouted.

"Dad said no?" Rachel asked.

"Not yours. Mine." I answered. "Said we weren't old enough to move out." I rolled my eyes. I hated that Charlie didn't think that I was mature enough to move out. I lived at school for an entire school year and did just fine on my own.

"Well, when couples move in together, they get pregnant." Paul shrugged.

"What? That's not true." Sam said. "Emily isn't pregnant."

"Not yet." Paul said. Sam just shook his head.

"You better all be using condoms." I looked away, staying silent. "You kids are killing me!" He shouted.

"I'm on birth control." I confirmed. "Promise."

"Condoms are still a good idea." It was much easier getting this talk from Sam than it was from our dads. Of course after having a pregnancy scare we should probably use them. I had seen my doctor and they sent me for an ultrasound and said nothing was wrong so we haven't really changed our ways.

"We don't always have condoms every place we do it." Paul said which made Jacob gag. As if he didn't just do it in the ocean.

"Okay." I yawned. "Are you ready to go?" I asked him standing up, reaching my hand out for him to grab.

"Yeah, babe." He smiled standing up. "Are you two coming home tonight?" He looked over at Rachel and Paul.

"Eventually." Rachel answered. "We'll give you two a head start." I blushed as Jacob led me away from the group.

"Good night!" I shouted to them all as we reached the car.

"Are you actually tired or was that yawn for show?" He asked as he started the car and blasted the heat.

"I'm not tired." I answered. "I was just ready to go." I held his hand as he drove back to his house. "Getting pretty adventurous." I commented.

"What do you mean?"

"We literally just had sex in front of all of your friends." I said.

"Yeah? Did it turn you on?" He asked. I kept quiet as he laughed. He pulled into his normal spot before putting the car in park and nearly ran inside the house. I followed behind him. As soon as we got in the door, he shoved me into the living room and down onto the couch. He bent me over the side of the couch, over the arm and ran his hands up and down my back. He unclipped my bra and took my shirt off. He kept me bent over the couch as he pulled my shorts and panties down.

He slapped my ass a few times before getting on his knees behind me. I spread my legs to give him access. He sucked hard on my clit making me moan out. He held my legs opened as he added two fingers and pumped them quickly into me.

He had me on the verge of my second orgasm of the night when he pulled back and stood up. I could hear him taking my clothes off before lining himself up against me. He thrust into me hard grabbing me so I was standing. He held onto me as he thrust into me from behind. I couldn't help the moans that left my mouth as he thrust.

Then the front door slammed.

"Well well well." Paul said as Rachel went flying into the bedrooms. They didn't give us much of a head start. I covered my chest but Jake didn't stop for a second. Paul just chuckled as he headed down the hallway after Rachel.

I took it upon myself to rub my clit as Jake thrust into me. I tried to keep my moans low. He was pinching my nipples helping me get closer to my orgasm. I screamed out as I orgasmed around him. He groaned in my ear and he came. I collapsed back onto the couch exhausted. He chuckled as he lifted me up, grabbed our clothes, and headed to his bedroom.

The second he laid me down on the bed, I was asleep. But I did dream that we had our own apartment.
