Okay, so this is when Renesmee realizes that her friendship with Jacob had become more...(You should read this before chapter one)
"Hey Ness! Want to go to the movies tonight?" Jacob hollered from downstairs.
I shivered with delight as his voice reached my ears. Odd, I thought, why do I suddenly feel this way?, but I pushed that thought aside. "Yeah okay!" I called back.
"We'll leave at eight!" He added.
Now where was Alice when I needed her? I thought frantically, glancing in the mirror and sighing; why tonight of all nights did I have to look so plain?
"Alice?!" I called, I knew it was a death sentence to ask Alice for makeover in her torture chamber otherwise known as her bathroom but I was desperate. "Hey Ness," she breathed in my ear and I jumped "Don't do that! It gives me the creeps!" she grinned," So what did you want anyway?"
I grimaced "Can you make me beautiful?"
Alice frowned "Your already beautiful Renesmee. How could you think your not?" she gave me a deceptive look then all of a sudden she laughed, her wind chime laugh "Let me guess: Jake asked you out to the movies?"
"Shhh! Not so loud! I don't understand! Why do I suddenly feel this way about him?" I gave her a panicked look "Ness, he imprinted on you…your going to have to go through this sometime…"
"Thanks for the pep talk." I said, managing to get some sarcasm in but the panic took over again instantly, "Why now? He's my best friend! I can't let this happen, he might think I'm weird and leave me!" The thought of it drove me to near hysterics and tears. Alice smiled a knowing smile "Don't worry, he won't. I swear by the end of tonight you guys will…" she coughed "Look, just don't worry about anything it'll all work out! I'm sure of it." she smiled again and patted my shoulder "I never thought I'd criticize makeup but trust me, guys like girls better without makeup plastered on they're faces. Have fun tonight!" and Alice disappeared back into her room.
I groaned and the clock seemed to speed up.
"Hey, you ready?" Jacob murmured in my ear, his breath against my neck sent shivers up my spine but I managed to nod. "We'll take Edwards Volvo." He said and we left.
The trip to the theater to take a long time, the silence stretched on, I too embarrassed to say anything in case I made myself look stupid and Jacob seemed lost in his own thoughts. Luckily Alice hadn't been a complete traitor; she'd agreed to help me pick an outfit. I ended up with a casual deep green blouse and skin tight jeans. I toyed nervously with my promise bracelet that Jacob had given me.
Finally we arrived and Jacob parked on the curb. The neon lights boldly stated the movies currently playing. "So, you up for a horror?" Jake grinned at me and I smiled timidly back "What's up with you tonight Ness? You seem real quiet." He looked at me; concern in his eyes and took my hand in his.
Oh God, why? I asked myself, why must he do this to me? Can't things go back to the way they were? A small voice in the back of my mind screamed no; I ignored it.
"Ness? We don't have to go if you don't want to…I'm sorry I kind of pushed you to come. What's wrong?" he persisted.
I shrugged, "Nothing, I'm fine," but my voice broke and he looked unconvinced. "C'mon," I insisted, trying to cover up how I really felt, "let's go see this movie! Bring on the blood and guts!"
I pulled him through the big golden double doors and into the lobby.
The floor was lined with blood red carpet. Posters cluttered the walls depicting upcoming movies and current ones. Candy lined the walls as well; the place seemed devoid of any other people, save an old man sitting on one of chairs that was available. A girl, not much older than seventeen glanced up form her work at the desk, her expression bored as she chewed noisily on a piece of gum. With one last worried glance at me, Jacob walked up to the desk confidently. The girl followed his movement with her eyes and I saw her appraise him with a look of interest. I watched as her eyes took in his bronze skin and wide muscles, his white teeth gleaming, contrasting with his skin. The tag on her breast pocket read "Sally". Nasty plain name, almost as plain as her face I thought then pulled up short; why was I suddenly loathing this girl?
I watched as she sat up suddenly and smiled, batting her eyelashes at Jacob, completely unaware that he wasn't alone. "Can I help you?" she simpered and her voice sounded girly, reminding me of hearts and pink bubble gum. I glared and felt anger course through my veins, I wanted to scare that girl away from Jacob, from my Jacob, I wanted to be someone she wouldn't think of messing with; I wanted to be a vampire. This surprised me and I fought to stay calm as I saw her lean over right in Jacobs face. Jacob on the other hand had no idea that she was attempting to flirt with him, "Umm yeah, could we have two tickets for Day Breakers?" he turned to me "It's about vampires" he whispered, grinning.
Sally caught the plural and seeing me, she immediately was on to business but not before I caught her glaring at me, obviously mad at me for ruining her 'fun'. "That'll be thirty dollars please." She droned, bored once again. Jacob handed her the money; "theatre three." she drawled, getting another piece of gum and adding it to the glob in her mouth.
Jacob took my hand again and I followed him through the hall and finally to a door which read "Three". Another girl stood there, but smiling this time "Tickets?" she asked, holding out her hand and Jacob gave them to her. She opened the door "Hope you like the movie!" she said and closed the door behind us. The dim lights led us to up the short line of stairs and to the seats at the back. The theatre was mostly empty besides a few couples and some teenagers.
Jacob kept a firm grip on my hand, as though he was afraid of me trying to run away. I thought I might have if he hadn't; the air the theatre was stifling. I could Jacob's warmth beside me but he made no other gesture towards me. I began to worry, what if there was someone else? My little voice in the back of my head shot that one down. Of course not, it argued with my brain, he imprinted on me. But the doubt and fear, that maybe I wasn't the one, lurked in my mind.
I wasn't paying much attention to the film when suddenly I felt Jacobs arm come around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. I shivered with delight as his heat flooded through me. I glanced at his face and he grinned at me, his teeth gleaming in the faint light coming off the screen. He leaned over and at first I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he whispered "Classic move; arm around the shoulder" I felt his body shake with silent laughter and I chuckled too. Someone shushed us from in front.
"Well? What did you think of that?" he asked me as we stepped out into the cold air outside. "It was...okay." I shrugged. In reality, I hadn't concentrated on the movie at all. I had only been conscious of Jacob's presence besides me. "I thought it was pretty lame. The effects weren't that great, but then again the fact that we live with real vampire's kind of changes things…" he laughed and squeezed my hand.
He opened the passenger door for me when we reached the car and I hopped in. Again it was silent as we drove back to the house, but I could sense something was on Jacobs mind and I have to wait long to find out as he pulled into the drive. He paused and then turned to me "Ness?" he asked uncertainty
"What's on your mind?" I asked.
"This." He answered, and his hands were suddenly holding my face, soft and gentle as he pressed his lips to mine.
His mouth was warm and unexpectedly hesitant but still filled with an assurance and confidence. His lips molded into mine in unfamiliar ways and forced mine open. I could feel his breath in my mouth and I clutched at his face, pulling him closer. Jacob's mouth was still before mine was. I opened my eyes and his were staring back at me with the same wonder and elation.
"I love you Renesmee." He murmured and I could tell he meant every word.
"I love you too Jake." I whispered back, still overcome with joy.
His arms curled around me and he hugged me securely.
Edwards glared at us as we walked through the door, hand in hand. He had obviously seen all that had gone on in our heads. My lips still tingled where Jacobs had touched them. I knew my face was red but I didn't care, I was too happy. The troubles of this afternoon seemed distance and almost from another world now. Bella obviously was in the know as well, as she stood next to Edward watching us with her hands on her hips saying nothing ut her eyes said enough. Alice rushed towards us and hugged me "Oh Ness! See I told you it would all work out! I knew it would, for certain." Jacob looked confused, "Umm Alice? You had a vision didn't you?" I asked.
She grimaced "Yes and there was a bit too much detail for my eyes…" I laughed. "So," she murmured "What was it like?"
I blushed "Well, it was my first kiss, but it wasn't that bad. Jacob's not a bad kisser," I laughed and Jacob chuckled. "So!" said Bella advancing on Jacob. "So!"
I glared at her "So what?"
She ignored me still glaring at Jacob "So you think you can take my daughter out for a drive with out telling me and do what ever you want with her?!" she screeched. Jacob held his hands up in surrender "Look, Edward would have known, and I thought you were cool with the whole imprinting thing?"
Bella looked outraged "She's only four years old!' she yelled "You made out with a four year old!"
That was it for me "I'm sixteen mother! Don't tell me what to do or treat me like I'm four years old because I'm not! I have a life and Jacob is who I choose to live it with!" Bella turned on me then "Renesmee, You can choose, you're not bound by some uncontrollable imprinting thing, you don't have to be with him!"
"I want to, Bella! I love him! And he loves me, what else is there to worry about?"
She rolled her eyes but seemed to calm down after my statement, "Just keep some control with each other, okay?"
I blushed again and Jacob grinned.
