A/N: I am inexplicably being sappy these past few days. And mind you, I don't have a special someone. Curse the classic rom-coms I've been watching and '10 things I hate about you'. Ethan Peck as Patrick Verona equals Oooh La La. (sighs) I remember when Heath Ledger played that character in the movie. (sniffs) Why does he have to die? Anyway, I'm watching that movie again :)
Okay, so this will probably be the shortest fic I'm ever gonna write. I just saw this little thing around Facebook and immediately thought of Nessie and Jacob. God I'm addicted to that pairing.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight or any of the characters even I so wanted to.

Nessie's POV
Jacob and I were down at the First Beach, enjoying the peacefulness around us. It was already eight in the evening by now and since the weather was starting to get cold, no one bothered going here especially at night.
But the cold never bothered us. What with Jacob being a werewolf and me being a half-vampire. And we often go here after we've hunted.
We were sitting on the sand, me leaning on his chest as his left arm was behind me, eventually gently holding my left hand that was on the ground. His other arm was supporting his weight while my right arm was placed on his knees. Our legs were almost tangled together.
It was a very comfortable silence, only the sound of the waves rolling off. The silence, however, was making me feel sleepy. I knew I would blurt things out in three, two, one...
"Jake?" I called his name, breaking the silence. He hummed in response. "Tell me how much you love me."
He thought for a moment. "Look up at the sky."
I was surprised by his answer. I pulled away just enough to look at his handsome face. "Okay?" I said slowly, sounding like a question. I was looking at him, silently asking him if he's alright.
"I'm serious. Just look up." he said, smiling slightly at me.
I sighed. "Will you stop changing the subject?"
My Jacob just looked at me, not wanting to say anything but silently telling me to just do what he asked me to do. I sighed and looked up.
"Okay, now tell me what I'm supposed to be looking at."
"The stars." he said.
"Yeah, I kinda got that." I told him. Even though it was getting colder, the treeless area here at First Beach still allowed us to get a great view of the stars. If this were any other night, I'd appreciate the beauty that it brought to the dull night skyline. It was as if the stars were just thrown around but still managed to look beautiful.
"Now count them." he told me.
My head immediately went back down to gaze at his face. "That would be really impossible."
His arms that never really left my back, pulled me closer to him so that I was leaning on his chest again. "Exactly."
I'm sure my face only showed confusion by now. "What do you mean?"
"Well," he started, his eyes smoldering mine. "You want me to explain my love for you. But that would be impossible. Just thinking about it leaves me speechless. It is very impossible for me to justify my feelings for you. And that's not because of imprinting. My heart," he brought his hand—with my hand—over his heart and then continued. "just won't explain. I never really looked for the answer. It is enough for me that my heart beats only for you."
My face was as red as a tomato right now. And I was gaping like a fish out of water. Needless to say that I was speechless.
He smiled at me. "I love you."
By this time, I had regained my composure and smiled widely at him. "I love you too."
And then he leaned down to kiss me.
With Jacob in my life, I know I am going to be the happiest woman ever. That was the main thought running through my mind as I kissed him back.

That was....bad? Nasty? Thrash? Makes me look like I don't know what I'm doing?
Anyway, thanks for reading! :D
