I thought the scene with Jacob didn't come soon enough! It was building all through NM and Eclipse. I kept saying through NM,"Bella, you're in love with Jacob, you idiot!" A couple of times, she almost came to it, with the near kisses in the truck and in the kitchen. They were interrupted both times, but I think the kiss would have forced her to realize her love for him. It was so obvious to me. And she kept thinking things that made me think that deep down she knew it too. But she just couldn't admit any feelings for anyone but Edward. So when she finally did kiss Jake in Eclipse and realized how she felt, I was excited. I knew she would still pick Edward, but I really wanted her to realize that Jacob was right and she had been in denial all that time. She couldn't really make a decision based on her true feelings until she admitted what they were. And she did realize and she did make the decision I knew she would. I love Jacob, but alas, this is Edward and Bella's story, so she really had only one choice.
