A Visit (Bella)

[Bella Cullen]

Bella tried to look like she was contemplating her answer regarding his number. she put on a good show but then laughed and shook her head. "Well considering you are majorly tall and buff, I'd have to give you possibly a positive 6 but since you are younger than me either way, I'd level you down to the same as me. A positive 5."[/color] She grinned big at Jacob. "Did you expect something different?"[/color] Bella asked, nudging Jacob a little.

Listening to Jacob try to speak Spanish cracked Bella up big time. She didn't speak it but she knew a few words and the way they were supposed to sound and what Jacob was doing, was nothing like the real thing. So she patted him on the back and laughed. "Word of advice Jake, don't give up your day job to give yourself over to Spanish, okay?"[/color] Not that Bella truly knew what Jacob's real day job was anyway. Or night job if you really got technical about it.

Bella shrugged her shoulders at the comment regarding his dad's height. "Perhaps you just got super lucky and took all the height then? I mean it's not like everyone can be oddly tall, right? If so we'd be living in the land of giant teenagers or something. That would just be creepy."[/color] Bella said while eyeballing Jacob and trying to imagine a town full of enormously tall teenage boys. That was a very weird thought.

"Toshea." He replied and smiled. He was glad that she gave him a bigger number although it did get bumped down. A five was good considering Bella got a five, the girl that everyone seemed to be into at school, although Jacob didn't really know this, he did expect it. He wondered if he'd expected a different number, "Well that depends, what was the highest number possible?" He asked and grinned wide. "Did you expect something different?" He added and nudged her back a little.

He smiled, glad that he could make Bella laugh. He knew that he couldn't even say hello in Spanish like a lot of people could, or in his mind, hello-o. He laughed as she gave advice. "Aww your so sweet, but it's not that bad-o is it?" He questioned and laughed again, knowing that it really was that bad. She probably knew a whole lot more because of the stupid little classes in school they made you take which Jacob always found a way to zone out the teacher, his always had a way too deep accent that he couldn't comprendo even if he really wanted to anyways.

"Yeah your probably right." He paused but then went on, "Except about that oddly part." He grinned. He could easily tell by her facial expression what she was thinking, he laughed at the thought. Bella had a tendancey of being an open book most of the time, she was expressive I guess you could say. Although somtimes it was impossible to tell what was going on in that little head of hers. He laughed again at the thought, it would be rather creepy.

[Bella Cullen]

Bella tilted her head to the side and thought about it for a secon. "Honestly I don't really know. Possibly a 6 and a half or 7 would have been the highest. For now anyway. Unfortunately though, age does cut it down a wee bit. So it makes you the same number as me. Which could be a good thing because it makes me even."[/color] Bella laughed when Jacob nudged her back. She shook her head no. "Actually I didn't expect a number at all so I wasn't anticipating a high number or a number in general. I'm satisfied with it at least being a positive number."[/color] It was her turn to smile big now and she did. "After all I am extremely clumsy and it could have been seriously low and negative."[/color]

"Well....."[/color] Bella started saying and put her arm slightly around Jacob and grinned. "...Do you want me to tell you the truth or lie to you to make you feel better?"[/color] She questioned him, giving him a wink. Bella hadn't taken a language in school yet but knew that she'd probably have to before she graduated. It wasn't something she was looking forward to honestly but if she had to then she would do it just to get it over with. "Either way though, hopefully I am still sweet."[/color] Bella laughed softly and gave Jacob a little hug.

"Well sure, it's not odd to you guys but to us normal, short people, having to look up all the time to hold a conversation with someone is always a bit of a pain. Especially if they are above average in height. Like you and apparently mostt of the teenage boys down in La Push."[/color] She stated, raising her eyebrows at Jacob. "I mean seriously, craning to look at someone gives me neck problems."[/color] Bella said with a laugh. "Maybe you should bend down from now on when you talk to me. Or we could just both sit down each time we talk to one another and that'd cut off painful neck issues for my and painful back issues for you?"[/color]

[carlie1819]

"Works for me, thats close enough." He replied, he realized that he was really close to the highest if only he was a little older. Then Jacob laughed, suprised that she really didn't expect it. "Are you kidding? I think your number doesn't do you justice." He complimented and smiled. At this moment he wished he could kiss her, but he managed to restrain himself any ways. So he just did something that was sort of a sigh through his nose. Bella never really gave herself enough credit.

He laughed again as he spoke, "Eh, you can just lie to me to make me feel better." He winked back at her. "Yes, your still sweet. Its too late to change my mind now, sorry." He laughed again. He hugged her back very happily. "Its too late to scare me off now." He added and smiled again.

"Well then if you ever come to La Push I'll make sure we're all sitting down or something," He paused and laughed, "Wouldn't want to give Bella neck problems or us back problems right?" Then he sort of bent down following her suggestion, "Oh, hey you have brown eyes!" He obviously joked. "Since theres no where to sit." He told her and took another look around, not finding anything.

[Bella Cullen]

"What do you mean it doesn't do me justice?"[/color] She laughed and shook her head. "YOU gave me the number. I mean if it doesn't do me justice than why didn't you just give me a number that does?"[/color] Bella laughed again. It was just a very funny statement to her for some odd reason. It was very nice to laugh like this because she didn't think that she'd be doing much laughing when she decided to move to Forks. She was glad that she found a friend that she felt comfortable with and one that could make her laugh as much as Jacob seemed to be doing. Bella was grateful.

"Okay then."[/color] Bella said and then cleared her face to look serious and held up a thumbs up to Jacob. "Perfect Spanish! Dead on I promise. Totally understandable."[/color] She said, trying to keep the seriously straight look on her face but it only stayed a couple of seconds before she busted out laughing once again. "Well, I tried. "[/color] She enjoyed the hug from Jacob. "Nah I think I like having you around. So I'm definitely not trying to scare you off."[/color] Bella stated honestly.

"I know I'm short so I don't want to feel even shorter while being surrounded by extremely tall teenage boys. Sitting down will be good. Maybe I could stand and make myself feel tall while you guys sit."[/color] She grinned, teasing him. She ended up swatting him again playfully. "Chocolate brown to be exact. It's fine. We can either stand or go in the house and find a seat in the kitchen or something."[/color]

[carlie1819]

"Yeah well maybe I was holding back a bit." He replied and smiled. "You'd never believe the number you deserve." He answered. It was true, she already thought that she deserved a negative number. She got one at first but that was only because he was joking. He noticed that she found that hilarious for some reason, it made him laugh as well. The statement didn't make him laugh, Bella finding it hilarious did.

Jacob laughed again, he again found it so easy to be himself here and with her. "Aww. I didn't think it was that awful." He laughed again. "I'll just have to give up Spanish then?" He knew the answer was going to be a yes, but he really didn't care. He didn't know Spanish at all and it didn't really bug him. It was too much of a struggle to learn another language to him, but sometimes he did wish he knew what some of those people talked about when you just walk past them and they say something to their friend in a foreign language and they both start laughing. "Good." He replied as he grinned and finally released her.

He found himself still laughing as Bella suggested them all sit as she stood to feel tall, it wouldn't have that much of an effect because even sitting they would still be pretty close to her height. "Chocolate?" He asked and paused to chuckle one more time before he went on. Girls were so peculiar sometimes. Pariwinkle? Aquamarine? Shartruse? He didn't even know what most of these looked like but to girls it actually mattered sometimes. Atleast Bella said chocolate instead of a harder technical word for it. "Alright then." He stood up again and smiled as he had to look mostly down at her, "Whatever you'd prefer."

[Bella Cullen]

"You are right. I probably wouldn't believe it. If it were me giving myself a number, I know I'd definitely go with a low negative number because I already have so much against me. Just getting out of bed in the morning is usually a challenge."[/color] Bella told Jacob with a grin but she was being truthful. Heck, Bella could stumble leaving her room and end up tripping down the stairs even if it was just tripping over her own dang foot.

Bella shook her head and give Jake another slight hug. "Okay so it wasn't extremely awful but it wasn't anywhere close to the real thing either. That's okay though. Not like I am the Spanish language expert or anything. What does it matter though because you have your own native language that you speak perfectly, right?"[/color]

Bella laughed when he questioned her use of the word chocolate to describe her eye color. Even though she was completely right because that was exactly the color of her eye shade, she still frowned a little. "Yes. Chocolate brown is the only way to describe my eye color unless you want to just go dull and plain and say "Dark brown" or something but I prefer chocolate."[/color] She stated, giving a little shrug of her shoulders.

Once Jake got to his feet, she smiled at him and waved him to follow her into the house. Which she lead him into and straight to the kitchen. No doubt the dads were too engrossed in the game to even realize that they finally came in. She motioned for him to take a seat at the kitchen table. "Can I get you anything Jake? A drink? Something to eat or snack on?"[/color]

[carlie1819]

Jacob laughed, "Well it must not be that bad. I mean, you haven't fallen today yet, right?" He asked and grinned. It might actually be that bad, maybe she falls down the stairs once a day. Knowing Bella it was probably more then that, twice a day atleast. She haden't had many bruises of any sort so maybe she just didn't give herself enough credit like she usually did.

He smiled back at her, it was nice that she was sort of comforting him. He returned the hug. When he let go he grinned again when she mentioned a Quileute language. "Well, I am not quite an expert because we prefer English when we talk to each other, but of course I know a whole lot more then you about it." He paused and spoke in this language that semmed very foreign to Bella. "Ayqsochid. Yapo'talli." She was unaware that he said 'how are you? I'm tired.'

All he could do was laugh at 'chocolate'. Girls were very different, he didn't seem to care though. When they did go in he sat where she had told him to. He was offered something but he just nodded his head 'no'. He had eaten not long before he came over. All of a sudden they could both hear the dads yelling at the TV, obviously something good had happened because they had high fived and they were cheering very loudly. Jacob laughed at them and realized what he must've sounded like sometimes. "Sorry about that, you know how they are alone, once they're together it just gets worse." He told her and laughed again.

[Bella Cullen]

"The key word in your statement is "YET"."[/color] Bella said with a serious tone. Bella knew that she was lucky enough already today for not falling down at all and she wasn't trying to jinx herself but she knew her luck tended to change fast. "Just give it some time. I don't necessarily have to fall down. I mean my accident proneness isn't only for falling down. I can stumbled and hit a wall or cut myself or anything like that. It's sad really. Especially when you have to always be on the look out and always be super careful."[/color] She said, shaking her head.

As Jacob spoke about the Quileute language, she listened intently. Of course she already knew that they all pretty much preferred to speak English but she had no doubts that he had learned to speak it just like he had English. Then she nodded her head with certainty. "Oh I know there is no doubt that you know more about your own language than I do. Actually I don't know any of it. Honestly there is no real reason for me to know it really."[/color] Bella stated with a small shrug or her shoulders. When Jacob spoke again, it was in a language that she had never heard and had no clue as to what he was even saying or if it was a real language. "So what does that mean?"[/color] She questioned.

The sudden noise from the living room startled Bella and she jumped a little. After all she wasn't actually used to company like this at the Swan's home. It was usually just herself and Charlie. When she realized that it had startled her, she laughed, a blush of embarrassed coming to her cheeks. She took a seat beside Jacob. "It's okay really. I like seeing my dad happy and with his friends. I'll probably get used to it in no time. I mean if Billy comes over a lot."[/color]

[carlie1819]

Jacob laughed, it was quite sad sometimes. Poor Bella always having to watch out for everything even herself. She was right, when she said she had to be careful not to cut herself and he accidently spoke instead of just thinking it to himself, "You especially have to be careful in Forks." He paused and realized this was outloud. Then he quickly had to think of a cover up, "You know because its called Forks and forks are sharp...." He pretended to be joking, it was the most pitiful 'joke' ever, if that was even what it was supposed to be. But she did have to be careful in Forks, for some reason all the leaches found there way here, out of any other place in the world they all seemed to decide to come here.

Then he laughed again as he tried to change the subject quickly. Of course she knew nothing about it just as he knew nothing about Spanish or any other language for that matter. And it seemed to be pointless to learn another one if you just stayed in one place and did absolutely nothing like himself. Its not like he had to know anything for his job, he didn't have one. Its not like he had to know another one for school, not many foreign students chose to come to Washington anyways. "And it means how are you? I am tired. Today just seems to be one of those lazy days so far." He told her and smiled, he really hadn't done much at all today, this was actually the highlight of his day which may have been sort of sad to some people. But that didn't matter, because some of his days (being a wolf and all) completely topped anything another human has ever done before.

He smiled and tried not to laugh for a third time as Bella jumped. "Yes, he does but its not always just him coming over here so you'll get some relief." He replied. She became a little embarressed. He just sort of chuckled slightly and right after he did you could tell the parents began to calm down a bit as a small silence grew from that room.

[Bella Cullen]

At first Jacob's comment confused her but then he turned around and landed it into a joke and so she shook her head and laughed at him. "Yes, you are right. Heaven forbid I fall down here in Forks. I might take my eye out or something."[/color] Again she shook her head. The joke was lame but coming from Jacob, it was funny enough. Bad jokes and silly humor is better than no humor at all honestly. "Ooh okay. I was starting to wonder if you were going to tell me what you had said."[/color]

Bella smiled at him and nodded some. "Well I guess I am okay. I mean I'm not extremely tired or anything but this gloomy weather with no sun keeps getting me down. I expected that though."[/color] Bella said truthfully. Knowing she'd be moving to a place that rained a lot and hardly ever saw extremely sunny days was something Bella prepared herself for when she made the decision to come live with Charlie. Still, it depressed her none the less. Bella raised her eyebrow at his statement. "Who else comes over if not just you and Billy?"[/color] She asked, wondering in her head if she was needing to go grocery shopping soon in case she had to cook something for a gathering of people or not.

[carlie1819]

Jacob laughed too, for some reason she found it funny which always made him laugh as well. He just smiled and nodded when she spoke more about her being clumsy, it was deffinately all true. Bella could take something as harmless as her own purse for example and could turn it into a weapon against herself, as she said earlier she even had her own feet turn against her before. When she continued, unsure if he actually going to tell her what he said or not, he laughed again and commented too, "If I was going to say something that I didn't want to know I would have said W'ali t'a'cha'a." He said with a miscivious grin following it.

"All the more reason to go to La Push, eh? I mean it's not 100% better but it is nice." He suggested and smiled again, if his smile actually faded. He knew it must've been a hudge change. To go from an always sunny and warm place to this cold and wet area. She didn't seem to like it either but she managed to get along. Maybe she liked the people here which made it do-able to live with. "Well no one else is coming today, well atleast that I know of, but surely Charlie has some other friends." He said. Charlie was not a quiet one, he did have many friends but Billy and Charlie seemed to be the closest, and it was good the Jacob and Bella were pretty close as well.

[Bella Cullen]

Bella nodded her head in agreement. "You are right. At least a little more sun get through there than it does here and that is a good thing."[/color] She stated with a smile to Jacob. She listened as he spoke about Charlie having other friends and it made her laugh. She shook her head no for a moment. "I didn't mean to make you think I was saying that Charlie didn't have any other friends besides Billy. I mean I know he does but the way you were speaking, it sounded like you knew for sure that someone specific was going to be showing up or something."[/color] It wasn't like Bella minded her dad having friends over. It was just that she wanted to be able to prepared enough food for company. Which got her to thinking. Bella held up a finger to Jacob letting him know that she would be right back as she got up and headed into the living room with Billy and Charlie. "Hey guys. I was thinking about what to cook for dinner and wondered if you had any specific requests."[/color] Luckily they were easy to please and only said that sandwiches or fish would be good enough for them. So she nodded and went back into the kitchen with Jacob.
