"Nessie? What are you doing here and why are you wearing that?" my mother asked angrily.
Panic flooded over me. I didn't know what to tell her. I didn't expect to see her here of all places. I was just speechless. I had a difficulty with lying to my mom at times like this, at times where I had been caught in act. I got that trait from her.
She eyed me from head to toe, as if she was examining the uniform that I was wearing. In here brown eyes, I could sense and see recognition. It was like she had seen what I was wearing before. Maybe she had seen them at Esme's house before; she was my father's ex-girlfriend. It was possible that they hung out there before and she had seen this gray maid uniform.
"I asked you Renesmee, why are you wearing that?" she asked in a lower voice, but angrier this time.
I need to give a shot in lying or else she would be sending me back to Arizona and all my plans would be destroyed. I wouldn't be able to fully know my father. I wouldn't have any other chance to be with him.
"I…" Before I could even continue, Jake spoke.
I knew he was there to rescue me. He was such a great friend. He was always there when I need him, he was practically my savior. He knew he could get in trouble with what he was doing, but still, he was helping me. I don't know why he was doing these things for me, but I was still thankful. He was the only person whom I could fully trust to keep my secrets with. He was the only one who could understand me when I have problems, not mom or Grandpa Charlie.
"We were supposed to go to a costume party, but our friend got sick that's why we're here. We thought of buying ice cream and then hanging out. The uniform that she is wearing, Jessica got that from her auntie who is working as a maid," Jake lied smoothly. God, I hope Mom would believe in him.
Mom's face calmed and then I heard a low sigh from her. She believed Jake easily. I couldn't believe it. She didn't even ask him for more details.
"Let's go home Ness, I'm cooking dinner tonight," she told me.
"Can Jake come too?" I asked her.
"Sure, your boyfriend can come too," she said in a teasing way. She was back to her normal self, I guess.
I blushed at her words, and I didn't know why. Usually when she jokes about my closeness to Jake, I would just ignore it, but now I couldn't help but imagine if what it would be like if Jake and I were really together. I knew it was wrong to think like that about him, but these days, my imagination was crossing the boundaries.
I don't know why I was feeling like this about him. I don't know why I always like to be with him, to talk with him or just do nothing as long as he was there, I was fine. I had never felt this way for a person before and what I was feeling about him, it was scaring the hell out of me.
We left the convenience store in silence. There was this awkwardness between me and Jake again. It was like the time when I had kissed him on the cheek.
Mom offered me to ride in her Mercedes, but I declined it. I wasn't ready yet for her bombard of questions. She would know if I was lying or not, she was like my lie detector test.
While I Jake was driving the car, I could feel my palms sweating and my heart beat racing. I needed to be distracted from what I was feeling.
"Nessie…are you okay?" Jake asked with concern.
I blushed as I answer, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You're flushed," he said nervously.
I bowed my head and I shook my head. He stayed quiet after that. I got the chance to look at him intently. I noticed how really muscular and manly he had become. He was not the skinny eleven-year old Jacob anymore. He had grown so much taller than me. He had a perfectly built body, beautiful tanned skin and that smooth russet hair that was longer when we were younger.
I was so focused on him that I didn't notice that he was driving on another direction, the opposite way to my grandfather's house.
"Where are we going? I think you took the wrong direction," I informed him.
"I just want to show you something," he said.
"Okay, but it has to be fast, Mom will be arriving soon at Grandpa's house."
"It may take some time, but I have excuses prepared."
"What is it? Why won't you tell me?" I insisted.
"It is something that you will surely like," he answered.
I looked away from him and then I just looked at the window. There was something strange with the sky tonight, but I paid no attention to it. I leaned on the window and I closed my eyes, trying to relax.
Ten minutes later, he stopped on the side of the empty dark road. The moon and the stars were the only source of light at that moment. He asked me to get out and I did. He sat on the hood of his car and I did too.
At that moment, I felt strange…I felt so comfortable being alone with him.
I hadn't notice that he had brought a big blanket and he wrapped us in it. I automatically leaned my head on his shoulder. And then, there was a smile planted on my face and his, too.
"Look up," he whispered in my ear and it sent chills down my spine.
I looked up and then there were falling stars all over. It was the most amazing sight that I have ever seen in my whole life. It was my first time to witness a meteor shower. I was so astonished.
"Have you made your wish?" Jake asked.
"I…I forgot, I was so amazed by the sight. How about you, what have you wished for?" I asked him back.
I was shocked with what he did next. He suddenly pressed his lips to mine. My eyes automatically closed and then I focus on the feel of lips against mine. It was my first kiss, and it felt strange. It felt new, and amazing at the same time. Soon, I nervously began moving my lips against his. I could feel my cheeks heat up, but I ignored it.
When we pulled away, he was staring at me adoringly, as if I was the most beautiful girl that he had ever laid his eyes on.
"I hope you won't be freaked out," he started nervously and then he continued, "My wish is for us to become more than friends. I have been feeling this for a long time already, but tonight seem like the right time to tell you. I love you Nessie, I loved you since we were little and I'm planning to love you more as we grow older."
His confession had me beaming. "I think your wish just came true," I told him with the brightest smile on my face.
So what do you think? How will Nessie go to the Cullen mansion now that her mom's at Forks too?
Please leave a little review.
