Summary: "So, now that we've bumped into each other a total of two times in less than half an hour, what do you say we introduce ourselves? I'm Jacob." The tale of two people brought together by fate. Pure fluff. AH. AU (Click to start from beginning.)
Click.
Bella stirs as she hears the soft click of a camera.
"Don't move, Beautiful," she hears Jacob say softly. She hears four more soft clicks in quick succession and then peaks her eye open to see Jacob leaning against the door frame of his bedroom, camera in hand and a smirk adorning his face.
"Hey there," he says.
She smiles back. "Hi there," she answers back with sleep still evident in her voice. She sits up and blushes when the blanket falls down to reveal her naked breasts. She quickly pulls it back up to cover herself and Jacob turns around like a true gentleman after he tosses a shirt to her. She slips it around her shoulders and buttons it up. "You can turn around now."
"How did you sleep?" he asks as he sets his camera on the bedside table and joins her on the bed. Bella stretches and sighs happily when Jacob moves her hair to the side and places kisses on her neck.
"So good."
"I made pancakes," he says as he moves his kisses closer to her mouth. Bella turns her head to the side. She refuses to kiss him with morning breath. Jacob breathes out a chuckle. "You're kidding, right? Mine will cancel yours out."
Bella's only response is the shake of her head as she smirks with her mouth shut tight. She thinks Jacob will just drop the subject until he picks her up and carries her bridal style to the bathroom. He sets her down on the toilet while he rifles through the medicine cabinet. He hands her an unopened toothbrush. "Get to it."
They brush their teeth in silence for a while until Jacob starts to sing. "If you like piña coladas." Bella gives him a questioning look but he just shrugs and continues. "And getting caught in the rain." He bumps her with his hip so she can join in. "If you're not into yoga."
Bella just continues to stare at him. Jacob smiles a devious kind of smile and flicks water into Bella's face a second later. She jumps a little at the cold temperature and stops brushing to glare at him. She cups her hand and flings what's collected back at Jacob. "If you have half a brain." She smiles, satisfied.
Jacob retaliates, using the same tactic Bella did. "If you like making love at midnight."
They're both finished brushing their teeth by this point and call a truce as they rinse their mouths, even though they're both giving each other watchful glares. Bella fills her small cup a second time and she can tell Jacob thinks it's to rinse her mouth again, until she holds it over his head.
"You wouldn't dare," he says.
Bella empties it over his head with one flick of her wrist. "In the dunes on the cape." Jacob's arms are around her waist the next second and he's got her in the shower with the water on before she can make sense of what's happened. Jacob is outside of the tub laughing uncontrollably to the point of tears. The water has soaked through Bella's shirt and with the cold water hitting her she thinks this is anything but funny. She's in a fit of laughter the next second though as she detaches the shower head and aims it at Jacob.
"Shit!" he exclaims as the frigid water hits him.
Bella feigns confusion. "You mean you don't like surprise attacks by cold water?" She laughs at her terrible joke and shrieks when Jacob joins her in the shower and steals the shower head from her. He replaces it on the wall and warms the temperature. They eat cold pancakes.

Boyfriend.
That's the one word Bella cannot seem to get out of her head. Jacob Black is her boyfriend and even though she's been in relationships before, she's never loved the word more now that it applies to him.
After she and Jacob finish their breakfast, they spend the afternoon in bed. Somehow Jacob convinces her to call in sick to work. She tells him that she's never done that a day in her life and he thinks that's even more reason to do it. She calls Angela's cell to ask if she can cover her shift and after hearing her voice, Angela knows they've slept together. Bella doesn't know how but all Angela can talk about for their five minute conversation is how happy she is that Bella finally got laid. Bella has no choice but to hang up on her best friend and text an apology afterwards.
"What do you want to watch first?" Jacob asks as he rifles through his DVD collection. She's propped up on her elbow on his bed.
"Surprise me," she says. She watches him as he balances on the balls of his feet in front of the entertainment stand. He'd only dressed in boxers after their shower and the muscles in his back are flexing. Even if he wasn't toned and gorgeous, she knows she would still love that wonderful personality of his. She wonders how she got so lucky.
Jacob ends up picking movies from their childhood. First up is "The Breakfast Club" then "Risky Business". Halfway through their third movie, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", Jacob asks Bella if she wants to go to the park. She glances outside and sees that it's dark. A quick look at the clock tells her it's a quarter to midnight.
"Right now?" she asks in disbelief.
"Sure, why not?"
"It's really late."
"So what?"
"So it's a ridiculous idea to go to a park at this time of night."
They go back and forth like this for a while. Bella is still trying to figure out how he got her to agree to this when he parks across the street from a playground ten minutes from his house. She'd argued that they wouldn't be able to find a park that was open at this time. Google maps fixed that up real quick though and Bella found herself walking hand in hand with Jacob onto the unfenced playground.
Bella doesn't hate the idea so much when Jacob begins pushing her on the swing. It's been so long since she's been on one and she's nearly forgotten the freeing feeling of it. It's just like the roller coaster, but less terrifying. Jacob stops pushing her after a while and gets on the swing next to hers. He bets he can go higher than her and she accepts his challenge. She doesn't get anywhere close to how high he gets but she has fun trying.
They act like children for three more hours. He chases her through the park. She runs through the jungle gym, tries to evade him on the slide and zigzags through the grass. He catches her eventually and traps her on the merry-go-round as he pushes it at full speed. She sees him pull out his camera and snap a couple pictures of her. Even though she fears she might look like she's close to barfing, he tells her they'll come out beautifully.
On the way back to his apartment, they stop at a 7-Eleven and get ice cream. Bella finishes hers just as Jacob pulls up in front of his building. He laughs when he looks at her.
"What?" she asks.
"You've got ice cream on your chin." He unbuckles his seat belt and leans over to kiss it off. His next kiss is placed softly on her lips. Bella's eyes close as his lips move over hers. She'll never get tired of his kisses.
When Jacob pulls away Bella is still looking at his lips. "Beautiful?" Her eyes shift to his. "I want you to meet my Dad. Is that okay?"
Bella's smile is incredibly huge. "I'd love that."
