She's almost nineteen, she's almost nineteen, she's almost nineteen. I told myself joyfully.
Renesmee Carlie Cullen was almost nineteen; and I couldn't wait. I had two days before the glorious occasion. Her mother and father were going to throw a party for her. They were inviting all the vamps they knew, or liked. Even that bloodsucker that was just like her was going. I knew Renesmee would never choose him over me, but I still didn't like him.
Technically, now, I was in my late twenties. But I had the body of a nineteen year old and Renesmee did too. But she was still ten… technically.
When Nessie was still a baby Edward and Carlisle came up with some genius formula to determine her physical birthday. We used to have them like, three times a year. But once her growing slowed down so did the parties.
The day Carlisle and Edward had come up with their formula Edward and I had also made an agreement. I couldn't touch her – in a romantic way – until she celebrated being nineteen.
Edward had been hanging all over us for the past two weeks. I think he was afraid I was going to break my end of the bargain. But I wasn't; I wanted to keep my body intact.
I had been in love with Nessie for about a year. I had always loved her, but like a brother. Now I was in love, and so much. I think Nessie felt it but I also think she didn't really know what she was feeling. Well no matter what I could wait until the party.
***
Alice, or shortie, had made the party into a formal event. This was a pain to Bella and Nessie. Nessie had inherited her mothers' sense of fashion which aggravated Alice like no other. But the party was formal never the less. I know for a fact Nessie hasn't been allowed inside the Cullen's house for the past forty-eight hours. This was going to be quite an event.
Even I had spent a lot of time on my appearance. I woke up this morning so I had time to shower, shave, eat, and make myself into a presentable gentleman. Goddamn vampires, didn't have to spend any time at all of their appearance and they still looked great…
I got to the party too early but eventually things got rolling. I tried to talk to Nessie but she was swept away by all the vamps that hadn't seen her in over a year. She had met girls that were about her age, also vampires, and now they seemed to be like best friends. They seemed nice, but I don't think they approved of me. They expressed that to Nessie a while back and she told them off; that's my girl I had thought.
I decided to hang with Embry and Quill until Nessie was available. But soon enough the music started and Quill went off with Claire, and thought she was still thirteen they danced around. Embry went off with his girlfriend, Lizzie. Actually she was a girl he had imprinted on. It was nice that all three of us as had imprinted now, it wasn't awkward. Well it was for the pack, because the only wolves that hadn't were Leah and Seth.
Finally the crowd around Nessie went off to dance with somebody. I went up to her,
"May I have your arm?" I asked, In a British accent.
"Arm, leg… I'm yours!" she laughed back, in another amazing accent. This was one of our many inside jokes. We had been watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and that scene turned into a joke. We had so many jokes; she was truly my best friend.
I twirled her around and we laughed. Then a slow song came on. She looked up into my eyes and my heart gave a throb. She pulled herself closer to me and wrapped her arms around my neck. I put mine around her waist. With every second the air space between us was being minimized. At some point I could hear her heartbeat, feel her breathing. I put my face into her hair.
It was just the two of us, no one else in the world existed. The song changed but to my immense relief it was another slow song. I got to hold her for a few more minutes.
Soon, too soon, the song ended. I said,
"You want to get some fresh air?" she nodded, thank god. Something inside me rejoiced that she wanted to be with me instead of her girlfriends.
We went into the large backyard, I was holding her hand. She stared at it curiously, I had held her hand before but I don't think she ever had felt anything when I did. We sat down in the cool, moist grass.
"What are you thinking?" I said after a few minutes. She laughed,
"I don't know." I gave her a quizzical look. "I just mean that," she continued, "well, er, I don't really know how to say it…"
"Tell me. You know you can tell me whatever you want"
"Well… what the hell is going on Jacob?" she demanded and then got a guilty look, she didn't like to curse.
"What's wrong?" I asked. As if I didn't know…
"Why do I, fell… this way? Why all of a sudden? I mean…" her face turned red, "never mind…"
"What?" I snickered; I loved to watch her blush. It was so cute.
She turned a deeper shade of red, "I mean, I guess I kind of always knew something like this would happen but…" her voice trailed off to a whisper.
I laughed, "What's funny?" she asked, embarrassed.
"Because I have always known I would fall in love with you Nessie. I imprinted on you when you were just a baby. Remember me telling you about Embry or Quill imprinting? And you asked if it had happened to me and I never responded? I never told you because Bella and Edward didn't think you should find out until you were nineteen. I don't know why, so don't ask, but they did. So now you're nineteen. And I have told you."
She stared at me. "I'll kill them." she said, which made me laugh even harder, "I'm not kidding! I can't believe they didn't tell me!" she was fuming.
I grinned and looked her in the eyes. Her face softened and I tucked a strand of runaway hair behind her ear. She smiled and looked down. I leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. She looked up and smiled.
"Jake…" she whispered almost to herself. She grinned at something,
"My Jacob…" I kissed her on the nose, the cheek. Leaned into me and put her lips on the corner of mine. She took a breath, shook her head a little, and moved her lips over to the left to rest on top of mine.
Her lips touched mine and before either of us knew what was going on we were all over each others. Our lips fit each other's perfectly, we were a match. I ran my big hand through her hair and put the other on her back; pulling her closer to me. My heart was soaring. She threw her arms around my neck. I could feel her smile.
I smiled back.
She pulled away from the kiss to breath and I kissed her face. Leaned into my shoulder, I stopped kissing her. Instead I just petted her long hair. She still had her arms around me and I still had one of mine wrapped around her. Neither of us wanted to let go.
I became aware of Edward cussing in the house, and Bella asking what before listening and looking out the window. "I'm going to go get her…" he said, "No, let them be" Bella responded. Nessie snickered; I guess she had heard them too. I laughed and she laughed and soon we were rolling around with our hands on our sides.
"Nessie…"
"Yeah?"
"I love you." Her eyes widened, she opened her mouth and closed it again.
"Oh Jake…" she said, distressed. I smiled at her; I know she wasn't in love with me.
But she would be. We were born for each other.
"It's okay," I smiled, "I understand." I moved in to kiss her again but Edward had had enough. He came to the back door and yelled for us to come in. Renesmee rolled her eyes,
"Later" I whispered. Her eyes gleamed.
