Heart Broken Chapter 2
Jennifer POV:
I woke up to sunlight streaming through my windows. I groaned and turned over only to get up and remember that I have my date with Jacob today. I have a date with Jacob Black! Allison was coming over later to help me get ready. I groaned inwardly. When Allison starts helping, she goes completely overboard with the make-up. I sighed but went into my bathroom to brush my teeth. I went downstairs and saw Jake at the table with Jared, Paul and Embry. All of them were stuffing their faces with food. Jake saw me and gave me a smile, quickly finishing his food.
"Hey Jen," he said. "I'll see you at 4 today. I have patrol and a few other stuff to take care of." I frowned slightly but quickly brightened up at the idea of our date today."
"Ok, see you later!" I said and blew him a quick kiss. Jake grinned and was out the door within seconds. I sat down at the table.
"You know, you guys are so cute that it's disgusting." Paul commented with his mouth full. I rolled my eyes.
"Paul, you know it's impolite to talk with your mouth full. If you don't want to see our PDA, then don't watch! I've told you so many times before!" I said. Jared chuckled as Paul just glared at me.
"I would stop watching if I could, but you guys are right there in my face!"
"We are not right in your face!" I shot back. "We were not even together! I just blew him a kiss!"
"Whatever you say," Paul said, smirking. I thought about retorting but quickly checked myself. I knew Paul just wanted to see me get mad. I calmed down quickly and turned to Emily instead.
"Hey Emily, do you mind if Allison comes over today at 3? She wants to help me get ready for my date with Jake today." Emily smiled.
"No problem! Can I help too?" I shrugged.
"Sure if you want to." Emily smiled even wider. I turned to my food and finished off the rest of my food. Paul and Jared left while Embry went to go crash on the couch so I went upstairs to watch some TV on my computer. I checked my phone to find that Allison had sent me several text messages.
OK, so I found out where Jake is taking you tonight! I have the perfect outfit in mind!
Are you sure Emily is OK with me coming over at 3?
Emily said it was fine. Where is Jake taking me?
Can't tell you that! It's a surprise! ;)
O ok and Emily said she wanted to help me get ready too
That's fine! the more the merrier! So see u at 3?
Yep! See ya :D
I put my phone away and went on the internet. I spent the next few hours just surfing the net and finally found something worth watching. I watched Mamma Mia! and The Hunger Games. They were so good! All too soon, the doorbell rang.
"Jen!" Emily called. "Allison's here!" I quickly shut my computer and went downstairs to meet Allison.
"Ready to get glamoured up?" Allison asked, winking at me and swinging a make up bag in my face. I groaned but smiled at her.
"Where is she going with Jake?" Emily asked. Allison put her mouth to Emily's ear and whispered it to her. Emily smiled and nodded knowingly.
"Hey, no fair!" I complained. "I'm the one going on the date. I should know where Jake is taking me!"
"Do you not understand the idea of a surprise?" Allison asked. "We can't tell you but you'll find out soon!" I sighed but let them lead me upstairs to my bathroom. Emily and Allison left the bathroom to go gather my clothes and other necessities so I took another quick shower. I put on lotion and my favorite perfume: vanilla blossoms. I wrapped myself in a towel after putting on my underwear and sat in a chair, waiting for Emily and Allison to return. They knocked and I allowed them to enter. Emily was standing just outside the door so I couldn't see what she was holding. Allison was in front, blocking my view.
"Ok now close your eyes!" Allison commanded. "I'm going to blindfold you."
"What? How am I supposed to get dressed with my eyes closed?"
"Just go with the flow! Don't worry so much!" I reluctantly closed my eyes and Allison tied a blindfold around my head. I heard Emily come in a close the door.
"Jen, I'm going to slip this dress over your head." Emily said. I nodded and put my arms up. Something silky came over my head and I put my arms through the sleeves. Under the dress, I dropped my towel as Emily zipped up the back. The sleeves felt like short sleeves. I felt something around my waist being tied at my back.
"Perfect! Now Jen, you need to sit in this chair so we can work on your make up." Allison said. Emily guided me to a chair and I sat down as Allison untied my blindfold.
"You can't look yet!" Emily said. Someone started applying make up to my face and someone else worked with my hair.
What seemed like hours later, Allison finally. stopped.
"Perfect! It's all done!" I slowly opened my eyes and stood up. I gasped. I didn't recognize the person in the mirror. My dress was a light blue with flowers blooming across. The sleeves were sort of short and the front had a little V shape but didn't go too low and reveal anything. My hair was braided draped over my shoulder and Emily had woven blue feathers in my hair. Allison had outdone herself. My makeup was just right-not too much and not too little. I smiled, turning to face them.
"Well, do you like it?" Allison asked excitedly.
"I love it!" I said. "Thanks guys!" I gave them a hug just as the doorbell rang.
"Is it 4 already?" I asked. Emily nodded and left the bathroom. Allison handed my a pair of heels that were 2 inches tall. I quickly slipped them on and headed downstairs, Allison right behind me. I took a deep breath and walked to the front door. Emily had opened the door and was standing to side of it, talking to Jake. Sam came out of nowhere and stood next to Emily. Huh I didn't know he was home. Jake saw me and smiled. I returned the smile somewhat nervously.
"Wow, Jen, you look absolutely amazing!" Jake said. I blushed.
"Thanks. You look handsome, Jake." It was true. He had on a tux and a bowtie.
"So, you ready?" I nodded and waved to Allison, Emily and Sam.
"Have fun!" Allison shouted. I just smiled at her and got into Jake's car. We pulled away and I watched as Allison and Emily's figures grew into the distance. It was a comfortable silence in the car.
"So, where are we going?" I asked conversationally.
"Well, I was thinking out to dinner then the movies." Jake said, glancing over at me. "Is that ok?" I looked back in his eyes. Worry and nervousness were showing.
"It's perfect." I smiled back at him. He relaxed and flashed a grin in my direction. A half hour later, we arrived at an Italian restaurant.
"La Fermata," I read. "Huh, never been here before."
"I have and the food is awesome!" I chuckled.
"You think any type of food is great!" Jake shrugged and laughed with me. He got out and sped over to my side, opening the door for me. I smiled at him, hopping out of the car. He offered his arm to me and I took it, entering the restaurant.
"Hello," a waitress smiled, greeting us. Her nametag read Karen. "How may I help you this evening?"
"A table for two please," Jake said.
"Sure," she grinned. "Right this way." We followed her past other families and couples enjoying their meal to a small table near the back of the restaurant.
"Here you are," she said. "Your waitress will be here soon." I smiled at her and she left. I sat down and saw Jake staring at me. I met his eyes, but there seemed to be something hidden in the depths. It looked like sorrow maybe? It didn't seem happy.
"Jake are you ok?" I asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he said, sighing. "Anyways, don't worry about it tonight. Tonight is our date night. We'll talk about it later." He avoided my eyes. Something was definitely up, but I let it go.
"Alright," I said, picking up the menu. The silence grew slightly uncomfortable then. I stared hard at the menu, barely comprehending what I was reading. I couldn't believe Jake was hiding things from me! The waiter then came by.
"Good evening folks! My name is Megan and I will be your waiter tonight. Would you like anything to drink?"
"Um, sure," I said. "I'll have a glass of Sprite please."
"I'll have a glass of Coke please." Jake said. Megan jotted down our orders on her notepad and she walked away to get our drinks. I resumed staring at my menu and the silence fell over us again.
"Look, Jen," Jake said. "Don't worry about it now. I promise I will tell you sooner or later." I nodded and smiled weakly. Megan then returned with our drinks.
"Are you folks ready to order?" she asked cheerily. We both placed our orders, but the thought that Jake was hiding something from me kept bothering me. It plagued my thoughts all throughout the night and I didn't have as much fun as I should have. I kept getting distracted and I had to force myself to appear happier than I actually was. When Jake dropped me off at home, I got out and kissed him on the cheek good night. I entered the kitchen and found Emily sitting at the table waiting for me.
"Well?" she asked excitedly when I walked in. I smiled.
"It was fun, but..."
"Oh no, but what?" she asked worried. I sighed.
"Jake is hiding something from me. I could see it in his eyes. He didn't seem fully happy."
"Oh don't be silly," she said. "Sam did tell me that there's an issue with some vampire that keeps crossing the border. Maybe that was what was bothering him?"
"Hm maybe," I said thoughtfully. I felt bad that I treated him this way so far. "Well, I'm going to bed Emily. Night!"
"Night Jen." I climbed upstairs and took my PJ's into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I reentered my room and got under the covers. I was still happy that I went on a date with Jake. I decided to forget what happened at the restaurant and look forward to the future. I closed my eyes contentedly and drifted off to sleep.
