Crossed Lives
(A Twilight Fan Fiction)
Feat...Reneesme Carlie Cullen & Jacob Black
A/N: Just want to make the story more clear by adding that in my story Renesmee grew up at a normal growth. I'm not using the original Stephanie Myer idea....either way I hope you enjoy the story.
Chapter 1 (The Meeting)
I woke up to the smell of fresh pancakes. I was able to smell every ingredient including the chocolate chips. I took another deep breath to enjoy the scent of my favorite pancakes. I got up did my morning routine and rushed to the kitchen where I found my grandmother baking for me. I removed one from the plate immediately covered it with syrup and shoved it in my mouth. "Now Nessie don't rush yourself." Grandma said to me. I slowed down my chewing and began eating more slowly.
"Aren't you going to eat some grandma?" I asked, even though I knew the answer to that. Apparently in my house I was the lazy one, everyone else got up before me, ate before me, and did everything else before me. Sometimes I wondered why my family acted the way they did. As I was about to question my grandmother on the issue for the millionth time my phone rang. I excused myself to take the call when I read the name Aiden on the screen.
"Hello. Aiden what time are you getting here? Yes…aha…ok…I'll be out." I rushed to open the front door to let Aiden in. This was the morning my life was about to take a change. I had been planning it for weeks. Aiden was here to speak to my parents and ask them for their permission to date me. I let Aiden in to the kitchen to introduce him first to my grandmother. "Aiden this is my grandmother Esme." I said pointing at her, "And Grandma this is Aiden, he's here to speak to daddy and momma." She turned around to get a look at the boy I just introduced her to. She looked at Aiden up and down and managed only a smile for him. "It is very nice to meet Mrs. Cullen." Aiden said in a nervous tone.
"Wow! Ness she could be your sister." Aiden said to me quietly. I smiled at him and rolled my eyes at the comment. It was not a new thing. I returned my attention to the reason why Aiden was here. "Grandma, Do you know were daddy and momma are at?" I asked. As I realized that I hadn't seen my parents. I heard my grandmother clear her throat, "They went to….get some breakfast. Yeah that's it…they didn't want to eat here today."
"Oh. OK. Well I'm going to show Aiden around the house until they get here." I said a little disappointed that I had to wait a little longer to finally become Aiden's girlfriend. Actually official girlfriend because Aiden and I were officially already dating, but we just wanted it to do it freely. I grabbed Aiden by the hand and began showing him around the house.
"Wow! Nessie you're house is incredible. It totally beats mine and I must say your father has great taste in cars." I didn't quite understand why Aiden was so impressed with what I had. For me everything meant nothing; perhaps because I was so used to being surrounded with luxury. I invited Aiden to the living room and didn't bother to show him the rest of the house. I yawed at every, wow he gave me each time he was impressed by something. I sat down and Aiden joined me and sat beside me. I scooted myself closer to him until both our legs were touching. However, before we could do anything else my parents were home, not only them but the entire family came home at the same time. I stood up immediately as I saw my father walking directly to the living room. Aiden stood up too, and I could almost feel him shake. "Is that your brother? He's not going to hurt me, is he?" Aiden said to me nervously. "That's my father," I said, almost breathing out my words.
Before Aiden could react to my confession my dad was already in front of us. I rushed to hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek, as I normally would do. He returned the kiss but maintained his gaze in Aiden's direction. I managed a nervous smile and began to look around for my mother. "She's outside with your Aunt Alice; she'll be in, in minute." Daddy informed me to stop me from wondering; sometimes he was so good at guessing everything I thought about. With that in mind I knew that daddy knew exactly why Aiden was here. "So who's your friend?" Daddy finally asked. I cleared my throat and brought Aiden forward.
"Daddy this is Aiden." I said as calmly as possible. I looked to see daddy's reaction but he didn't even blink or say a word for that matter. When daddy didn't even bother to make a movement, I decided to sit down and wait until momma came in. I knew she would be easier to deal with. When she finally came in, I took in a breath of relief. It didn't take long for her to join us in the living room. "So it was today." She said as soon as she came in. I saw daddy turn to look at her with an annoyed face. "It seems like it." He responded to her remark between clenched teeth. "Let's get to it then." I heard my mother say, giving Aiden and me a smile. I smiled back, but I began to wonder how they knew Aiden was going to come today. I pushed the thought aside, it didn't matter if they knew or not, what mattered was that I needed to tell them personally. As I was about to begin talking, Aiden stopped me and did the talking himself. Nervously he began to speak.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen I'm here because I want to ask for your permission to date your daughter Reneesme." Aiden managed the words out, quickly, and clearly. We both waited to see what my parents had to say, but both of them remained silent for a minute.
They excused themselves for a while to talk things over; leaving both Aiden and I sitting and waiting for a reaction, but they were both speaking so quietly that neither of us could tell if they were even moving their lips. Finally, they both returned to the center of the room to face us, and this time I noticed that daddy was ready to speak.
"You do know that my daughter is only fifteen, don't you?" He spoke directly to Aiden.
"Yes sir."
"Daddy, don't forget that I'm going to be sixteen in like a week. Remember we're planning my party." I added trying to not make the situation look so bad.
"Thanks for reminding me Nessie." Daddy said to me, sounding upset for interrupting him. I closed my mouth and sealed it until I was allowed to speak.
"Listen to me boy…I'm not accustomed to denying anything to my daughter, and she's well aware of it, knowing that I agreed to pay her almost half a million Sweet Sixteen party. However, I find it hard to give in when it comes to you. So what I want you to do is to convince me why I should let you date my daughter. In other words why do you want to date my daughter? And why should I allow it?"
"Well sir…I want to date your daughter because she's beautiful, intelligent, with a great personality, and because I truly like her. I believe you should grant me your permission because I'm and honest, respectful, smart young man."
"How old are you Aiden?"
"Seventeen sir…"
"Well my wife and I decided to grant you permission to date our daughter. But there's only one condition, if you ever bring her home after her curfew hours you will be forbidden to see her."
"Don't worry sir, ma'am, I'm really good with following curfews."
"Then we have nothing further to discuss. Now if you would please excuse us my daughter has some shopping to do and that's where we're heading now."
"No problem…and thank you…"
As I was about to speak, mom and dad were already heading for their room. I knew that meant that the conversation with me was going to happen later. However, that didn't bother me one bit because the hardest part had been done already. I had the permission to date Aiden and nothing could ruin the moment. I hugged him and just as I was about to celebrate with a kiss, my uncle Emmett came in the living room to escort my now official boyfriend out the door.
