I woke up the next morning and I didn't know where I was. Oh yeah, Edward's room, the Cullen's house, Forks. I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling for a moment when I heard humming from down the hall. It got closer until Alice stuck her head in the door and said, "Hello sleepy head."
"Hello," I said groggily.
"You're tall, I need your help," she said as a statement, not a question.
"Ok," I said getting out bed. I stood in front of her in just my boxers and gave her a big grin.
"You should get dressed first," she said.
"If that's what you want," I said. I grabbed my clothes that were in a pile on the floor and went to the bathroom to get dressed.
When I came out Alice was standing there waiting for me. "Come with me," she said.
"Alright, "I replied as I followed her down the stairs and through the first floor to the back and out into the back yard. A large white canopy tent was already setup and there were folding tables and chairs under one side of the tent. The other side was empty except for a long table with speakers and a laptop on it that was off to the side. Alice walked over to the other side of the yard and grabbed a step stool and a plastic bin. Then she returned to the side of the tent, standing over by one of its corners and put the step stool on the ground. She took some twinkle lights out of the bin. Seeing what she was doing I walked over to help her put the lights up.
As I helped her put up the lights I made conversation, "Wow, you've got quite the set up out here. Why did you get all decked out, isn't it just going to be me, your family, and the pack?"
"No, the Denali's are coming," she said, "And 'cus it's fun."
"Who are the Denali's?" I said.
"They're a coven that's lives in Denali, Alaska and we've known them for years. They're like our extended family." She said.
"Oh, well that's nice," I said, "Hey, Jasper is tall, why didn't you ask him to help?"
"He went hunting, "she said, "he didn't want to take any chances with you here."
"Well, I appreciate that," I said.
"He has a hard time with our 'vegetarian' lifestyle so he wanted to be safe. Even though you don't smell right, you smell human, but it's a different more bitter smell. Not right or appetizing at all," She said.
"Well that's also good, I guess," I said. I finished helping Alice put up the light then went back in the house. I could smell something good and headed for the kitchen. Esme had already started cooking for the party.
"Mmm, it smells good in here," I said.
"Good, that means I'm doing something right, "she said. I saw that there was some bread on the counter and I hadn't had any breakfast yet so I walked over to the bread and opened it.
"Do you mind if I make some toast, I haven't had breakfast?" I said.
"No not at all," she said, "Do you want me to make you something?"
"No, you're already busy getting ready for the party. Toast is easy, I can do Toast," I said.
She just laughed. I made my toast and ate it in the kitchen chatting with Esme. For the rest of the morning I bounced around the house helping everyone with this or that for the party.
At one o'clock the sun came out and shined down on the backyard. When Alice stopped in her tracks and stared out into the distance I figured she was having a vision. She came out of it and said, "They will be here in twenty minutes."
"Well, what do you have left to do?" asked Edward.
"Nothing, it's all done, I was just grabbing a few things and then I was going outside to wait for them." She said.
"Alright, I'll tell everyone to head outside," he said, "Are you coming Jack?"
"I'll be right there, I'm just going to call my team and check in," I said.
"Ok," He said. I went upstairs and called Gwen. After checking in I went outside.
Later, I was sitting at one of the tables under the tent. The tables were all decorated with white table clothes and vases full of roses. I didn't hear anyone coming, but I saw everyone's heads turn in the same direction so I looked. What I saw was the most beautiful woman in the world. I had used that line many times, but this time it was true. She had short, curly strawberry blonde hair that was styled like she was from back in the 40's. her eyes were the same honey color as the rest of the vampires , but they were big and round and invited you into their stare. Her lips were plump and a soft pink color. I pulled my eyes away from her stare to take her whole body in. She was lean, but not too thin, she had curves just were they needed to be. Her skin glittered like a million diamonds were grinded into power and dusted all over her. She and her family walked up to the table and I got up, gave her a big grin, put out my hand and said, "Hello. Captain Jack Harkness."
She took my hand and shook it and said, "Hi. I'm Tanya." Both our hands fell to our sides and then Alice ran up and hugged her and the rest of her family before I could talk to her. But the night was young. I would have plenty of time to woo that beautiful woman.
By Sunset the Denali's had enough time to settle in and catch up with the Cullens. It was starting to get dark, so Alice plugged in the twinkle lights and Edward went to the laptop at the other table to play some music. A classical song played softly in the background of the quiet conversations. After the song started Edward walked over to Bella and asked her something, I was too far away to hear. He took her hand and she looked at him like she wasn't sure she wanted to go wherever Edward wanted to take her. Then he said something else and gave her a crooked smile and she gave in to his request and followed him to the dance floor. That's how I would get things rolling with Tanya. I would ask her to dance and show her that I'm an old-fashion guy looking to have some old-fashion fun.
I walked over to where Tanya was sitting, next to her sisters, Kate and Irina. I leaned in closer to her from across the table, resting my hand on the table top. Then I said, "I've seen you staring at me all night so I figured that you wouldn't mind if I came over here to ask you to dance."
She was taken by surprise at first but then said, "Sure, I'd love to dance." She got up and came around the table. I took her hand and led her over to the dance floor. We found a spot off to the side but still close to the middle. Some more couples were out on the dance floor now. Carlisle and Esme, Alice and Jasper, all softy swaying to the music. Jacob was holding Renesmee in his arms and they swayed and twirled. Tanya put her hand on my shoulder, I put mine on her waist, and my other hand still intertwined with hers went into the usually dancing position. We started to move side to side working our way slowly to making a circle. At first I was just taking all my surroundings in as we moved round and round. Then I looked into her eyes and she looked up into mine. I actually felt my stomach twist with nerves, but I couldn't look away. It was like we were saying all that needed to be said without saying a word. It was like she was looking into my soul. I've never felt like that with anyone before. As if she could feel the attraction between us increase, she moved closer to me. She was now right against my body. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. I looked at her lips, all soft and freshly glossed, they were begging for me to kiss them, so I did. It seemed like time had stopped and we were the only ones in motion Our lips moving in sync, I could have kept going but I needed to breath. So we broke apart suddenly and I took in a deep breath. My head was spinning. I had been with many women, and many men, but I had never been kissed like that.
