chp.2 - Grandpappy Charlie
I was sitting in the backseat of my Father's shiny silver Volvo next to Jacob on our way to my Grandpappy Charlie's place, he lived in town, the town of Forks, we lived in the woods just outside of Forks and Jacob lived on the small Indian reservation La Push.
I sighed as we parked in the drive behind Charlie's cruiser, Grandpappy was the Chief of Police in Forks. I got out wearily, my Father had already opened the trunk, I got my over-night bag out of the trunk just as Jacob snatched it off me, "I'll carry that for you Ness" I rolled my eyes, I was strong enough to crush the whole car into pieces I was strong enough to carry a bag full of clothes and pillow.
Charlie came pounding down to greet us, he gave my Mother a hug "hey Bells, how have you been?" he asked, my Mother smiled and replied "Alice is going over board about the you-know-what " she said biting her tongue, my Mother hated party's or any form of celebrations, for I knew they where talking about my Birthday.
Charlie clapped a hand for a moment on my Fathers shoulder "and you Edward?" he asked with slightly less enthusiasm, "never better, sir" he said with his velvety voice and smooth politeness.
Charlie's eyes narrowed slightly as he took in the non-existence space between Jacob and me, Charlie didn't wholly approve of Jacob's unnatural obsession with me, and even less of the relationship he suspected, he didn't think it right as Jacob had changed my nappy and helped bottle feed me and cared for me when I was a baby and small child.
I bounded over to him and gave him a huge hug "Grandpappy" I squealed with a little too much enthusiasm, I placed my hand on his cheek and showed him his own face to show my happiness of being here, my throat had tightened with an uncomfortable burn that his warm mouth watering blood made, I really should hunt tonight I noticed.
Charlie leaned slightly away from my affectionate embrace, Charlie was uncomfortable with showing emotion, he patted my back awkwardly "hey Nessie honey, about time you decided to come see your poor old Gandpappy" he said as I let him go and he took a step back.
Charlie's eyes roved back over to Jacob "not surprised to see you here, Jake" he said in a slightly stiff voice, Jacob gave him a huge smile showing off again the startling contrast his white teeth where to his dark russet skin, "hey Charlie! its been an age!" he said enthusiastically.
We made our way into the house and clustered ourselves around the cramped living room, I sat on the small threadbare sofa next to Charlie and Jacob squeezed his impossible way next to me into the non-existent space, it was something to be admired for.
My Mother Bella and Father Edward, sat themselves on the two remaining sagging armchairs, the grandest thing in the room, and probably in the whole house by far was the huge 85inch flat screen TV set in the center of the room, I noticed a soft ball game was on, I hated sports.
There was an uncomfortable silence for a moment as Charlie pulled his arm free from in between our two ridiculously compressed body's, "so what's for dinner?" Jacob said cheerfully into the silence.
I heard Charlie mumble something darkly before saying in his gruff voice "didn't know you where actually staying for dinner, Jake" he said making it clear as day that Jacob was clearly not going to be getting and invitation to stay.
More silence, I couldn't bare it, I stood and said "well I better take my stuff up to my room then" I gestured for Jacob to follow me, but there was no use as he already had jumped to his feet eager to follow me anywhere.
Charlie eyed Jacob angrily as he followed me out of the room into the hall, I grabbed up my bag from where Jake had dropped it next to the front door and made my way up the stairs, I heard Charlie call after me "and Nessie, make sure you leave your bedroom door open" he said full of implications.
I was staying in the same room my Mother stayed every summer until the age or fourteen, then from the few years she lived here when she first moved to Forks not long before I was born.
I dumped my bag on the floor where I stood and pranced over to sit on the small single bed in the center of the room, Jacob closed the bedroom door loudly, I heard Charlie's grumbles and my Father's sigh from downstairs.
Jacob came saunting over to the bed, and laid across the bed behind me, he folded his arms behind his head and closed his eyes he had a peaceful look on his face, I watched him letting my mind drift to the fact that it was only one more day until my birthday.
I hadn't thought much on the celebrations for I knew that my Auntie Alice would go all out, but I wondered how long the celebrations would last for, and if I could slip away for a few hours with Jacob without drawing to much attention to my absence.
I heard the door down below open and close, and a slight pause in which there were muffled fare-well's then the sound of two car door slamming shut, I felt a sudden feeling of irritation, my parents hadn't even come up to me good bye?
I got up and was swiftly at the window looking down and just seeing the Volvo slipping away down the street, I heard the front door open and close again as my Grandpappy came back inside.
I turned my back on the window to look at my bed were Jacob was still laying all over, he was too long for the small bed, he had one knee pointing upwards, while the other leg dangled off the end of the bed, he almost looked like he was asleep but I knew he was still awake as their wasn't the tremendous sound of his snores filling the room.
I heard the sounds of Charlie's boots marching up the stair's and his disgruntled muttering, I heard his boots squike on the wood outside the bedroom before a loud thump on the door, I sighed heavily going over to open the door, Jacob hadn't moved or made any inclination to move off from laying all over my bed.
I opened the door giving Charlie a dazzling smile, he returned my smile half-heatedly his eyes sweeping over Jacob's relaxed form on bed, his eyes narrowed and gave a significant cough, Jacob on the other hand didn't even flutter an eye-lid.
Charlie lost his patience, "Jake, wouldn't Billy be expecting you home or something?" he asked with his tone making it quite clear that he was giving Jake the bums rush.
Jacob stretched out and yawned widely, I could feel Charlie's contained disapproval, "nope, not that I know of" Jacob answered rolling over onto his side and prodding himself up on his elbow clearly making no intention to go anywhere.
Charlie bristled at this "well to be honest Jacob, I was taking Ness out to the lodge tonight for dinner, and I wasn't planning to shout you a meal" he said gruffly.
Jacob looked unconcerned "that's ok Charlie, I've got a couple of bucks on me, so don't worry about paying for me, I can shout Nessie if your that strapped for cash" he said sitting up straiter I could see a grin start to twist its way to the corners of his full lips.
I could see a vain start to pulse in Charlie's forehead, I thought it was time for me to step in "it's ok Jake, I think what Grandpappy mean's is that he just wants tonight for Grandfather-Niece bonding kinda thing, so just go home or something I'm seeing you tomorrow anyway" I added seeing the beginnings of that grin almost vanish.
Charlie didn't like the sound of Jake coming back over tomorrow, but he didn't say anything hoping that Jacob would get the hint and leave before dinner.
Jacob shrugged slightly and jumped up off the bed with surprising grace for his hulking figure, "sure no problem, I can see when I'm not wanted" he said with such convincing sorrow, he gave a sigh and his dark eye-brows knitted together his bottom lip trembling, the expression was heartbreaking.
I almost flung my arms around him and apologize telling him that I would always want him forever, but he shot me a wink and a sly smile that Charlie couldn't see as he slouched past us out the bedroom door.
I heard Charlie heave a great sigh and just as Jacob started going down the stairs, dragging one foot after the other Charlie then said with obvious annoyance "well Jake I 'spos there's enough room for one more, if you really want to come along" his voice almost daring Jake to try and want to come.
Jake spun around on fourth stair down and looked up and shrugged "I guess, only if its not too much trouble Charlie" he said with what I knew was mock hurt feelings.
Charlie said through his teeth "not at all Jake, it would be a pleasure to have you" but his tone made it perfectly plane that it was indeed the opposite, Jacob shot a thrilled smile and perked up immediately "great! where going now yeah?" he said bounding down the rest of the stairs.
I couldn't help let a small snort escape my lips, Charlie shot me a furious look, but I danced down the stairs and pushing past Jake before Charlie could say anything.
I pranced over to the Charlie's police cruiser to wait, Jake was at my side in a instant, I hit him in the chest "your such a lying deceiving dog" I said my voice full of false disapproval trying not to laugh.
Jacob just shot me a mocking smile showing off all of his white teeth, for some reason I thought Jake had the sexiest teeth, sounds ridiculous I know! I wouldn't believe there was such thing as 'sexy teeth' if I never knew Jacob.
Jake raised one eye-brow leaning in slowly to whisper in ear, his voice deepening slightly but more huskier than ever "I have to do what I can, and besides Nessie, honey, I'm not going to wait another 12 hours or more before I see you again" I could here the pain that he was trying to hide in his voice at the thought of just the rest of this evening one night apart would do to him.
I gave him a small smile putting my hand to his warm cheek, showing him a vision of himself sneaking into my room tonight after Charlie was asleep, he gave a husky low laugh before giving me a lingering and much too intimate to be just a mere friendly kiss on my cheek, I heard Charlie's furious grumble behind me, I pulled away from Jake not noticing how close we had come to each other in that short space of time.
Charlie shot Jacob a dirty look before getting into the drivers side of the cruiser slamming his door unnecessarily loud, Jake just brushed his finger down my cheek for a long agonizing second before climbing into the backseat, I wanted to follow him but I knew that Charlie wanted me in the front with him.
I slowly got into the passenger side, deliberately avoiding Charlie's gaze, the car revved up and we where pulling out of the driveway, I saw Charlie's eye-narrow as he saw Jake in the re-view mirror as he checked the road behind us before pulling out.
It was only a short drive to the lodge, the closest thing you'd call a 'classy' restaurant in Forks, or as classy a place with a stuffed moose head on that wall can be.
We got out of the car into the driving lot, I spotted a boy from my class from school, I'd only just started at Forks High School a month ago, my Father had insisted that I should at least have a good 2-3 years of High School, and now that I've stopped 'growing' I could pull it off.
The boy spotted me, his name was Alex, he came walking over with a grin on his face, for some reason he always seemed slightly drunk or dazed, he almost tripped over his own feet, I heard Jacob's slight snort of amusement, Alex made it to me "hey, Renesmee what are you up to?" he asked in a strangled whisper.
I saw Jacob raise and eye-brow clinically, "having dinner with my Grandfather" I said indicating Charlie, "oh let me introduce you, this is my best friend Jacob Black, he lives down on the reservation" I added slapping Jake on the arm as I said it.
Alex looked at Jake who was leaning casually against the cruiser with an air of smugness, Alex took in Jacob's massive form from his ridiculous 6'7 height to his massive expanse of muscle, really Jacob was just unbelievably huge!
Alex on the other hand had a slightly small sickly look to him, with a pinched look to his hollow cheeks, he looked like he was always recovering from some terrible bout of the flu, he also always had this thin glistening layer of perspiration beading on his face, and had this annoying habit of licking his lips then instantly wiping the saliva off with the back of his grotty sleeve to the point where his lips where red roar and chapped, he could do with a chap stick or something.
Charlie interrupted our awkward silence, "coming Nessie... Jake?" he added Jake's name in a clipped tone, Jacob put his arm around my waist and pulled me away from Alex and towards the doors to the restaurant.
Jacob and I sat at the the booth at the very back of the place, Charlie muttered something when he spotted us in the darkest corner and walked over to us sulkily.
After we where all settled in, Jacob and I on one side of the booth and Charlie on the other the waitress came over, she had a dull brown complexion to match her small dull eyes and lifeless curly afro-like inspired hair, "Chief Swan and dear Renesmee is that you?" she asked giving me a warm smile.
I returned it half-heatedly noticing how she ignored Jacob completely, "steak medium rare and fries?" she asked Charlie already writing his order down before he grunted his agreement, she turned to me next "and you dear?" she asked.
I looked down at the menu knowing I wouldn't really enjoy any of it "steak as well, but I'll have mine extra rare" I said, she took my order slowly.
Finally she turned to Jacob reluctantly, what was her problem? "and what do you want?" she asked rudely, I shot her a murderous glare, while Charlie looked like he was trying to hide his amusement.
Jacob looked down at the menu and deliberately took forever to choose what he wanted after five minuted he said to the waitress "I'll have....umm....the..err...what's a garden burger?" he asked, the waitress glared at him before answering shortly "its a vegie-burger, non-meat patty with salad" she said.
Jacob wrinkled his nose returning to the menu "no I don't want one of them, I'll have then..the...ah...steak and fries as well" he finally decided the waitress looked angry after all the deliberating he chose the same as us.
The waitress had already turned to leave before Jacob said "you didn't ask me what I wanted to drink?" she turned around and asked him ever more rudely "what do you want to drink then?", he looked back down at the menu, I could see a smirk play around his lips as he started to decided what he wanted to drink.
Finally after another seven minutes of deciding what he wanted to drink he chose the mountain dew, the waitress went off muttering angrily under her breath, Jacob looked highly amused, I looked at him inquiringly "what was with that women? what was her problem with you?" I hissed furious.
Jacob laughed before answering "well the other week Seth, Quil, Embry and I where all in here getting food, and Quil didn't know what he wanted and was asking all these quistions about the menu cuz there's a lot more choice here than down the shop on the Rez, and the waitress thought we where being jerks you know? and we where all trying not to laugh so I think that made it worse, so I guess she just recognized me" he finished laughing.
Charlie didn't looked pleased and was about to say something when Alex was breathing over the back of my chair, he was sitting at an odd single table pushed up behind the last booth and out of site, right behind us, I leaned away from him into Jake, "Rensemee, hey again" he said in his rasping and also oddly whiny voice, "yeah hey.." I said awkwardly leaning further away from him, and even closer into Jacob.
Alex noticed this, "so is he your boyfriend or something?" he rasped and whined his pale eyes racking over me nearly sitting in Jake's god damn lap to be the furthest away from Alex as possible.
Alex wasn't just physically repulsive he oddly had the most un-appealing smelling blood I'd ever smelt, he would be the only human where I wouldn't ever dream of drinking his blood, even with Jacob, sometimes, I had the urge to drink his blood, when I was younger I used to bite Jake all the time, I've grown out of that habit now though.
Charlie watching us closely for my answer, we never have officially told Charlie what our 'relationship' was, even though he has most defiantly guest as much, my eyes shot to Charlie before answering "no, he isn't my boyfriend" I said coolly, I felt a slight tremor rock through Jacob's body next to me at these words and Charlie's surprised cough.
Alex eyed mine and Jacob's closeness for a fraction of a second longer before saying "ha, well you look pretty cozy" there was a silent period just before the waitress came back with our orders, she slammed Jacob's plate a little too haphazardly on the table and most of his fries fell into his lap.
I glared after the waitress, Jacob scooped up the fries out of his lap and put them back onto his plate slightly annoyed and slightly amused at the same time.
I tried to eat my bloody steak but I could feel Alex's wheezy slightly wet breath on the back of my neck, I hunched my shoulders wishing he would stop wheezing over me, I was surprised Jacob couldn't sense my discomfort as he was normally so in-tuned with me.
I shot a glance in his direction, he was slightly hunched of his food as well, but if was different, he was eating slowly not really enjoying what he was eating he didn't meet my gaze, damn I'd hurt his feelings, but doesn't he know that he's so much more than just a mere 'boyfriend' I shudder at the word, he is the sun in my life, my soul mate my whole universe, he does know that of course?, but he did seem upset, maybe I should have just said 'yeah he's my boyfriend' Jake's so touchy.
I wanted to reach over and comfort him but I knew I couldn't with Charlie watching my every move, he seemed a little too pleased watching us.
Finally Alex moved off the back of my chair when his order came of cheese and pickles toasted sandwich.
We had dessert is silence, Charlie and me having the cherry cobla and Jacob no longer feeling amused just ordered ice-cream and chocolate sauce on waffles and ate it quickly.
Finally it was over, Jake and I went to wait out by the cruiser as Charlie paid for our meals, he was even in a good enough mood to pay for Jacob when Jake went to give him the money for his meal, there was still this strange air between us, why wouldn't he say something? I went to tell him I was sorry when he suddenly growled, I looked around and spotted Alex flouncing over to us, I let out a small groan.
Why couldn't he see that this really wasn't the time? couldn't he feel the tension? I certainly could! "hey again, did you enjoy your dinner? mine was ok it was a little burned though and icing on my doughnut was a little too sweet" he said licking his lips then quickly wiping the moister away with the back of his sleeve.
I glanced at Jake, he was glaring at the ground, I thought I could feel slight waves of shimmering heat coming off him, is something more wrong with him that just me not saying he was my boyfriend? I wanted to ask him what was up.
I was about to excuse myself away from Alex when Jacob suddenly said in a strange harsh voice, "well Nessie, I think I'll go now ok?" he looked at me there was a hard look that had come over his face that I'd never seen before, "no! Jake please don't go" I said almost breathlessly reaching for his arm he pulled his arm away from me, a horrible twisted smile pulled at the corner of his mouth "see you later Ness" he said darkly.
Jacob started to walk off through the dark parking lot I half ran after him before I called "will you come tonight? Jake? later? please?" I asked desperately, I'd never been so unsure that he wouldn't come to me when I needed him, I'd never seen him like this before.
What was wrong? surly I hadn't hurt him this bad, had I? he stopped walking and turned around that same horrible sneer was pulling up at the corners of his mouth "sure, sure, what ever you want" he said in a horrible sarcastic patronizing voice that wasn't my Jacob's, I tried to call after him but Charlie called my name, and by the time I looked back Jake was gone.
