Fried Chicken and Mashed Potatoes
Jacob POV
It all belongs to SM.
Enjoy :)
Nessie and I walked down the stairs hand in hand and went straight to the kitchen. No one was home so I guessed they were hunting.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Nessie asked when I sat down at the barstool.
"Whatever you're having is fine with me."
"Ok."
She went to the cabinet and pulled out two bowls before going to the pantry and getting the cereal we both liked. I got up to get the milk and spoons while she sat back down to pour our breakfast. We ate and talked for about an hour before I put our dishes in the sink and took her to the sofa in the family room. I sat down and pulled her into my lap.
"When Uncle Jasper gets home, I'm going to ask him to start my therapy." She said.
"Are you scared?"
"Hell yeah. I don't really want to have my head shrinked, especially by my uncle."
"You weren't this difficult when we had our sessions. What's so different now?"
"You were there in the last sessions. I wasn't so nervous then." She pouted.
I kissed her neck repeatedly to soften her up, "I can sit in if you want."
"No, I think it would be more helpful if it was just me and him."
"Alight, but if you need me, just say so. Don't try and do this alone."
She nodded her head, "What do you want to do until he comes back?" She asked.
"Whatever you want."
"I think we have to go back to Boston and return all my things from yesterday." She said with a sad face.
"I said you could keep them. I don't mind and in actuality, you didn't spend as much as I thought you did." I said.
"Its part of my punishment. Daddy's making me take all the stuff back and it wasn't fair for me to spend all your money."
"Can I at least keep the watch?"
"You liked it?" She asked surprised.
"Of course I did. A little extravagant for my taste, but its beautiful."
"I think daddy would be ok with you keeping your gift, but we better not tell him just in case." She giggled, "Besides, I need something to pay you back for the wonderful gift you gave me this morning."
I let my mind travel back to the rendezvous we had in the shower and I could feel my heart start to beat faster when I replayed the scene in my head. I didn't realize how starved I was for her body, but thankfully, that was taken care of this morning and I could feel all the tension leave my body with each thrust of my hips. I couldn't believe that she was mine and when she bit my shoulder to control her noise, I growled loudly because it felt so damn good. I had to shake my head to bring me back to reality.
"Well I don't think I was the one giving the most in that situation." I replied.
"I beg to differ Jacob."
"I guess we'll have to find out won't we?" I began kissing the skin on her shoulders.
We started kissing passionatly and she let me dominate as I lighlty let me tongue explore the inside of her mouth. She tasted amazing and I could feel every one of my pores blaze from her touch. She ran her hands up my chest and tangled them in my hair. I didnt know if she knew it, but whenever she touched me this way, i coudln't control myself and I thought I might have to take her right her on the couch. She began scratching my head and I hated thinking that it made me like a dog but in truth, i could already feel my leg start to twitch from pleasure. She lighly sucked on my tongue and I growled when she moved to straddle my lap. I didn't have control over my body and felt my hand slide from her hip to the front of her toned stomach. I slid down further with my hand and put it in between her legs. I could feel her entrance even through her short shorts and underwear. She rolled her hips into my hand and moaned when my hand touched her with more pressure.
"Not now Jacob. We have things to do." She panted as she pulled away from my lips.
"I know." I said brethlessly and brought her face back to mine.
"No Jacob. We really can't." She panted again but rolled her hips with a bigger motion and Little Jake shot straight up.
"Yes we can."
Oour lips together with more force and I having the best morning of my entire life until she got off of my lap and back into the wall. She was breathing harshly and I thought she was having a heart attack but she smiled and shook her head.
"No sir. I have more control than that." She giggled and I pouted.
She pulled me off of the couch and led the way to my room. She went to her side of the closet and began getting dressed. I went to my side and pulled on some jeans and a simple t-shirt.
"Do we really have to go all the way to Boston?" I asked.
"Yup. I got there in an hour and a half yesterday."
"What?! That means you were going at least 250 the entire way." I said in s seiuos tone.
"Pretty much. I was so pissed I didn't even notice it."
I took deep breaths to control myself. I always got really anxious when Nessie did anything dangerous and unfortunately, that was on more occasions than I cared to remember. Driving fast was something she picked up from Edward and I didn't like to think of her flying down the highway at such speeds, but nothing I did made her slow down. One of the worst occasions occurred when she had just turned fifteen and Seth and Embry stole Bella's Ferrari for a joy ride. I was at the rez dealing with Billy when I got a call from Edward saying that they couldn't find Nessie and we all went into a panic. Come to find out, she went with the wolves and they actually let her drag race in Canada. She came home the next day and I let Edward deal with Nessie because I was about to rip her head off. I went to handle Seth and Embry and what made me mad was that they didn't see anything wrong with it. I knew she wasn't their imprint, but her safety should mean something to them. Embry tried to laugh his way out of it and I ended up kicking his ass until Seth pulled me off. Nessie was grounded for an entire six months after that and Edward barely let her out of the house to do anything. She huffed and puffed but Edward didn't budge with his decision.
"Don't worry Jacob, I wore my seatbelt." She giggled and pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Don't even get me started Nessie." I said in a frustrated voice, but she was the one thing that brought me out of my state.
I looked her up and down and my jaw dropped when I took in her body. She was in tight, light wash jeans and a black blouse that had a V-neck, which showed off her beautiful breasts. Her hair was flowing down her back and I could see my bracelet on her wrist and engagement ring on her finger. She was a couple inches taller from the black pumps she wore and when she walked up to me, it didn't take much to lift up and crush her lips to mine. We continued to kiss passionately but I don't know for how long. My body drank up everything she gave me and my mind was totally blocked off from the outside world. I pulled back when I felt my hardness begin to make an appearance and she smiled before taking my hand and leading me to her room to grab the bags.
We made our way to the garage and put everything in the trunk. I opened her door for her and she climbed into my Hummer. I got in my own seat and begin the drive to Boston. The entire time, Nessie danced to the music pumping through my sound system and I smiled as I watched her body move to the beat. We made it to Boston in two hours and I let her drag me through Newberry Street to return all her purchases. I let her keep the shoes she bought because I couldn't stand the look on her face when we walked into the store. I was rewarded with a fervent kiss and it was most definitely worth the six hundred dollars the shoes cost. It wasn't that I was even mad about the money because I would have gladly given Nessie my credit card if that were what she wanted, but it was the fact that she didn't tell me what she was doing. I hate deception and she knows it; that's why she did it.
We made it back home before dark and the family was in different parts of the house when we arrived. Nessie went straight to Jasper and they made a schedule for their sessions. I went into the kitchen and was greeted by a happy Esme.
"Hello Jacob. We've missed you today." She smiled and set down some turkey in front of me.
"I took Nessie back to Boston so she could return all the things she bought yesterday."
"I take it you two are back on track?"
"Yup. Everything is fine and she's going to start sessions with Jasper." I nodded.
"Good. He might be able to sort out what's going on with her."
I ate my turkey and washed my plate. When I was finished I tried to find Nessie and heard a dark melody coming from the music room. I immediately recognized it as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, which was one of Nessie's favorite pieces. I walked in the room and watched silently as her fingers flew across the keys to produce the beautiful sounds coming from the piano.
I thought back to the first time we actually heard her play as a child and although we knew she was special, we had no idea just how much until that very moment. It was a couple weeks after the Volturi incident when she was younger and everything was settling down. Over the weeks, I had watched Nessie memorize everything her father did when he sat at the piano, but I didn't know she was secretly learning how to play. Everyone was sitting in the family room and a five-year-old Nessie got up from my lap to head into the back. I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought she was getting something to eat but Edward began to chuckle and a few seconds later, I heard the most beautiful sound coming from the piano in the other room. We all looked at each other and continued to listen as Nessie played the classical piece with ease. I couldn't believe that her little fingers were playing that, so I got up from my seat and went to investigate and sure enough, she was masterfully playing the piano better than any professional.
I brought myself back to the present and watched Nessie play with just as much grace as she did when she was younger.
"I still don't think you need lessons." I said when she finished the piece.
"What are you talking about? That was horrible." She pouted and brought her hands to rest in her lap.
I went to sit on the piano bench next to her, "Why are you so hard on yourself? That was gorgeous."
She shook her head, "It was mediocre at best. I can't stand being average and I can't ask you to judge my work because you're extremely biased." She smiled.
"Its my job." I said and leaned in for a sweet kiss.
"When do you start lessons again?" I asked when we were done.
"Sometime next week, we have to work out the details."
After she played me another song, we went into my room and she laid on my chest as we watched The Incredibles, which was her favorite cartoon movie. I wasn't a big Disney person, but I had to admit that I had fun. It probably had something to do with how much Nessie liked it, but I wouldn't mind sitting through a thousand kiddie movies if Nessie was there with me.
We fell asleep towards the end of the movie and I woke up well rested for the first time in a week. I looked down to see Nessie's sweet face void of all emotion and I knew she was sleeping just as soundly as I had. I gently untangled our limbs and got out of bed. I stretched to get my muscles working again and headed into the shower to begin my morning routine. After I bathed and my face was smooth, I went into the closet to get dressed. I picked out a pair of dark wash jeans and a cream colored button up shirt with some chocolate brown loafers. I put on the watch Nessie bought me and it was perfect. I didn't really wear watches that much because they would always break when I fazed, but I made a mental note to take care of this one. I was surprised at how much I liked it and I knew Nessie went out of her way to get me the gift even though she was mad at me when she bought it.
I grabbed my bag and walked out of my room to go downstairs for breakfast. Esme hadn't prepared anything this morning so I just grabbed a pop tart and waited for Nessie to come down. While I waited, i could feel my hiar brushing up against the back of my neck and knew it was time for a hiarcut. I called for Alice and she trimmed my hair perfectly in a matter of minutes. After she was done, Emmett came into the kitchen and began to hound me.
He was the one who raked me across the coals the most for having sex with Nessie. He always made crude jokes just to embarrass me but I had a very high level of tolerance for that sort of thing because I always hung out with the pack who were ten times worse than Emmett. Our first days back after summer vacation were the worst. While Nessie and I were out one day, he slipped into my room and threw condoms everywhere. Nessie blushed the reddest blush I had ever seen when we walked in. Nessie and I talked to Carlise about it and he didn't think we need to use condoms since Nessie couldn't get pregnant and we were both in a committed relationship so there wasn't any way for us to get an STD, but Emmett always slipped some into Nessie's purse whenever we went on dates. She ran straight to Esme and complained that Emmett was being immature. He came home from hunting and Esme laid into him for hours while Nessie and I laughed quietly in my room.
"So doggy, you have a good time yesterday morning?" He said with a devilish smirk.
"What are you talking about?" I asked while shoving a pop tart in my mouth.
"I'm assuming you guys did it when you made up. How was it?" He asked with a face that told me he was genuinely curious.
I choked on my breakfast and coughed for a minute before I could talk again.
"That good huh?" He smirked.
"She's your niece. How can you even ask me that?"
"I have a right to know what goes on in my house so answer my question." He chuckled.
He shouldn't be talking. The sounds I hear coming from him and Blondie's room would put stippers to shame. One time over the summer, they stayed in there for over a week and when they came out, I couldn't even look at them without blushing. I guess they didn't care about what we thought and I wondered how long it took Esme to get used to them being that way, but she just rolled her eyes whenver thier sounds got too heated.
"What question?" Nessie said when she walked into the kitchen.
"Nothing." Emmett said and quickly ran off. He knew not to upset Nessie again or she would run to Esme. He was still grounded from the last time and I was sure Blondie would get on him this go round if her tried to embarrass us again.
"What was that all about?" She asked as she made her way to the fridge to get some orange juice.
"Your uncle is a pervert."
"What else is new?"
She was dressed in a short jean skirt and had on a tight, short sleeved, white, button up shirt. Her legs looked extremely sexy in the blue Manholo Blanick shoes that I bought her over the summer. Her hair was in its natural loose curls and framed her beautiful face. I tried to control my heartbeat but I never could when she looked that way.
"Why do you dress like that?" I asked with a sigh.
"Like what? You don't like it?" She said with a worried look in her face.
"No. I love it, but I don't want anyone else to love it. Do you realize how absolutely breathtaking you look right now? How am I supposed to keep the boys off when you look so hot?"
"Its ok Jacob. Everyone's scared of you at school." She giggled, "The boys don't even try and talk to me because they've heard about how big you are."
"Good. What about that Andy kid? He still hanging around?"
"Yeah. He's the only one who can't take a hint." She sighed.
"He hasn't touched you has he?" I asked angrily.
"Calm down wolf. I can handle him myself and no, he hasn't."
"Alright fine, but if he's harassing you then I can make a quick trip up to his house. I know where he lives."
"And how would you know that?" She asked when she came to sit in my lap.
"I scouted out his place a while back." Her face turned from skeptical to surprised, "I have to know these things Nessie. Don't give me that look."
"That's kind of creepy Jacob."
"Sure sure."
I took her lips in a kiss and tried to memorize everything about her because I knew I wouldn't see her until this afternoon. After a couple of minutes, she got off my lap and we headed into the garage. She gave me another kiss on the lips and then headed to Eva while I went to get in Bertha. She pulled out way too fast and I honked my horn to tell her to slow down. I saw her laugh and she made her way to Vanderbilt while I drove to Dartmouth.
I sat in my first class of the day, which was Classical Cultures, and prayed that we wouldn't have too much work today. My teacher, professor Warhusrt was known as the "dragon lady" around campus. She was one of those really old women who has been around since the beginning of time and knew everything about every subject. She was determined to make my life a living hell and was the only reason I was nervous about this semester. So far, I've held up a perfect academic record, but she might give me my first blemish and I wouldn't be surprised if I came close to failing. It was only the second week of school and we had already had two tests and a ten page paper, none of which I did very well on. I wanted to wait to ask for Nessie's help until it was absolutely necessary, but I knew I couldn't last much longer without it. Today, we were learning about ancient Greek culture and reading The Illiad, which Nessie and I had already tackled when she was younger, but I have to read it again just to make sure I knew what was going on. At the end of the class period, we were assigned a group project and picked our partners. My group had planned to work out the kinks of our project within the next couple of weeks so it would be presentable for the due date.
I went through my other classes with ease and even enjoyed my physics lab where we tested the acceleration of different fuel powered rockets. I burned the hell out of my hand when one of them went off while I was holding it, and everyone was really worried about me because if I was human, my hand would have probably been blown off. I feigned pain and asked if I could go home early and since it was my last class of the day, I didn't feel guilty as I sped down the highway an hour before I usually did. I drove into the circular driveway and hopped out of my car.
"Hello Jacob. What are you doing home so early?" Esme asked when I walked into the house.
"Got off early from school." I smiled.
"Well you'll have to wait for dinner. I wasn't expecting you home yet."
"That's ok, you don't have to make anything. I'm not that hungry right now."
"Not hungry? That's a first." She giggled.
I smiled and went into the family room where Emmett and Jasper were playing Xbox. In actuality, I was starving, but I didn't want to eat without Nessie, so I would suffer for her. It wouldn't be that bad if I didn't think about it, but that was easier said than done. For the next hour, I fought the urge to get up and devour everything in the kitchen. I played Xbox or most of the hour and even played on the piano, horribly of course, but I was trying to figure out why Nessie liked it so much. Everyone had joined us in the family room and we were all waiting for Nessie to come home from school when the phone rang. Esme made her way to the table where the cradle was and picked up.
"Cullen residence." She answered sweetly.
Hello Esme. How are you today?
Esme looked at Bella, "Oh…hello Rene. We weren't expecting your call today. Everything is fine with us."
Well that's good. I was just wondering if I could come for a visit?
Damn it. It was bad enough that Charlie was introduced into this world, but I guess he had more of a reason being married to Sue and all. Although Rene didn't know any specifics of our world, it was obvious that she could tell something was off and it was way too risky to have her anywhere near us especially Nessie. There was no way she couldn't tell that Nessie was Bella's biological daughter but according to human rules, that wasn't possible since Bella and Edward were only married eight years ago.
Shit.
Now that I thought about it, Nessie's birthday was next week.
The conversation with Rene only lasted for ten minutes but in that time, she and Esme had set up an entire trip. Her and Phil were coming at the beginning of next week and staying for Nessie's birthday. Nessie refused to have any kind of party since our wedding was going to be bigger than a presidential inauguration and Bella was still pissed at Nessie for her shopping trip so she wouldn't allow one anyways.
"I don't think she should be here." Bella shook her head and paced the floor after Esme hung up the phone.
"She hasn't seen us in three years. Of course, she's worried." Emmett laughed.
"This isn't funny dude, she already knows we're fucking messed up and the more time she spends with us, the more she's going to find out." Jasper said and Esme gave him 'the look' which scolded him for his language. Jasper shrank back into his seat on the sofa and I held back a laugh. Jasper was just as scared of Esme as Emmett was and it was always funny to watch her control them with her motherly authority.
"I love my mother more than anything, but I can't have her near Nessie." Bella said.
Edward got up and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her body immediately relaxed and she took several unnecessary breaths to calm herself, "It will be ok. I promise." He soothed.
Before anyone else could say anything, we heard the sound of Nessie's Hummer pull up in the driveway and seconds later, she bounced into the house with a big smile on my face. Even though I was worried about Rene's impending visit, I couldn't help but smile when I saw Nessie. She gave the family hugs before sitting on my lap and giving me a loving kiss that lasted for several minutes. I wasn't going to stop but I figured we should when I heard Jasper and Emmett clear their throats loudly.
She giggled and pulled away, "Hello my Jacob. How was your day?"
"Its better now. How about your's?" I asked.
"Ok. I'm just waiting for this year to be over." She sighed.
We talked about her day for the next half hour and I laughed every time she told us about another person who asked about her ring. It seemed that people were starting to take notice of her new piece of jewelry and she was getting pissed answering the same questions over and over again.
"Ok, whats going on?" She asked when she finished her story.
"What do you mean darlin'?" Jasper said.
"You guys look like the world is about to end. What happened today?"
Bella shifted her weight to her other foot and Nessie turned on my lap awaiting an explanation.
"Uh…well we're just all really nervous sweetheart. Your grandmother wants to come for a visit." Bella replied.
Nessie turned her face up in confusion for a couple of seconds before she came to a realization, "Oh. Rene is coming." She sighed and I pulled her closer.
"Yeah. She wants to see you." Edward said, "She'll be here for your birthday next week."
"Is that safe?" Nessie asked worriedly.
"No its not, but there's no way to stop her, so I guess we're just going to have to accommodate." Bella said.
Nesise nodded her head and sighed.
"I'm sure it'll be fine. She's not going to be too bad. We just have to handle her like we do Charlie. Need to know." I said and I felt Nessie's body calm under my touch.
We spent the next hour figuring out what the hell we were going to do when Rene got here. We figured that the only reason she was coming was to see Bella and Nessie so there wasn't any way we could hide them. We were just going to play it by ear and make sure we didn't slip up for the week. Since we were having company, Alice wanted to plan a party for their arrival and Nessie's birthday, but Edward put his foot down. He said that Nessie was still on punishment from her shopping extravaganza and wasn't having any party until Halloween, which was when Alice had set up something for Vanderbilt. I didn't know how we were going to do it, but over one hundred kids would be at our house during Halloween. Nessie was excited about it, but Edward told her that as soon as Halloween was over, she was right back on probation.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by my growling stomach and everyone laughed when they heard how hungry I was. Nessie giggled and pulled me into the kitchen before sitting me on the barstool.
"What do you want to eat?" She asked and I had to take my mind off of examining her ass as she bent over to check what was in the fridge.
"Uh…you don't have to make anything, I can just make a sandwich or something."
"Its no problem. Chicken?" She smiled.
"Sure."
"How was Classical Cultures? You failing yet?" She asked when she set up an assembly line for fried chicken.
"Not so good. I have a group project due and it's going to be a killer." I sighed and watched her heat up the oil on the stove.
"I don't know why you're doing so poorly in that class. We used to read The Illiad and The Odyssey all the time when I was younger."
"Yeah, but that was when you were reading to me and I could remember things better. It's your voice, don't ask me how, but it has magical powers. I would swear to it."
She giggled, "I don't think so Jacob, but I would be happy to read to you though if it helps."
"No. I think I should be able to at least read on my own." I sighed.
"Ok, well I'm here if you need me."
She began dredging the chicken in flour and then the other ingredients before setting it gently in the boiling oil to fry. I loved Nessie beyond a shadow of a doubt, but when she was younger, I refused to eat anything she made. Up until she was ten, I don't think she ever made anything edible. I tried to taste things just to be nice, but after Seth threw up one of her cookies at the Memorial Day picnic, I figured I should keep myself safe. Nessie's perfectionist nature made it impossible for her to stop trying and that summer, she took several online classes just to prove that she could cook her ass off. Bella and Esme helped her to perfect her skills and by the time September rolled around, she could out cook any chef on the Food Network without breaking a sweat. She loved cooking for the pack and would make huge portions of everything whenever they came over. Now, everything she made was nothing less than excellence and I loved whatever she set in front of me. Since moving to Vermont, she hadn't been in the kitchen that much, but I have noticed her slowly starting to get back into cooking since school started this year. I saw Esme slowly let Nessie make my dinners and Edward told me that she enjoyed making me food because it made her feel more homely, so I didn't complain.
"Is there anything I can help you with babe?" I asked as she continued to fry the chicken.
"We all know you can't make a damn thing Jacob." She giggled.
"Try me."
"Can you boil water?"
"I'm not incompetent."
"Ok, then you can put the potatoes in the pot."
I went under the stink and found the biggest pot I could. I filled it with water and set it on the stove to boil. I leaned on the counter and waited as Nessie finished the chicken. When she was done, she came up to me and I wrapped my arms around her hips.
"Do you like your mashed potatoes with the skin on or off?" She asked into my chest.
"On. Its healthier that way."
"Since when do you care about what's healthy?" She laughed.
"To be honest, I just don't want to peel potatoes for the next hour."
She giggled and kissed my chest. Even through the fabric of my T-shirt, I could feel the fire from her lips and I had to hold back a growl when she continued to move up to my neck, "Your water is over boiling." She whispered in my ear.
"Shit." I said harshly and pulled away from her to tend to the pot on the stove. The entire time, she was laughing behind my back and I had to admit, it was pretty funny. Good thing I had Nessie or else I might starve to death.
She helped me pour out the excess water and put the potatoes in the pot. After they were finished, we drained the water and I watched as she added milk, butter and other ingredients before mashing them to the ideal consistency. I set the table and we sat together eating fried chicken and mashed potatoes for the next hour. I didn't know how much I ate, but afterwards, I could barely move from all the food I had inhaled.
After we clean up the kitchen, I took her to my room so that we could do our homework. We both sprawled out on my bed and I tried to concentrate on my reading but didn't do very well; Nessie just looked too sexy for me to take my eyes off and she of course noticed.
"Can I help you Jacob?" She asked after an hour of my staring.
"No." I said shyly and tried to pretend like I was reading.
"Don't lie to me Jacob. What were you looking at?" She smiled.
"You."
"I know that, but what specifically?"
I didn't know if I should be honest with her or make something up that was more romantic, but I figured that she could see through my lies so I went with the truth, "Your butt." I sighed and felt the blush rise on my face.
I had never admitted it to her before, but the lower half of her body was by far the best part of my day. Her face was gorgeous and her chest was amazing, but I couldn't even take a breath whenever I looked at her stunning backside. It was better than anything I had ever seen on any model and I didn't know how those normal human boys at Vanderbilt even paid attention in school, but I'm glad they did; I didn't have time to kill the entire male population of Vanderbilt.
"Really?" She asked surprised.
"Yeah." I said quietly. Great. Now she probably thinks I'm some kind of freak.
"Hmmmmmm." She said and got off the bed to look in the mirror on the wall. She turned around to examine herself and I couldn't breathe when she lifted up her shirt halfway to get a better view.
"I never thought it was one of my best assets." She giggled, "But if you like it, then I guess I can live with that. Stare away."
This girl never failed to surprise me. Not only did she not mind that I was perverted for looking at her, but she was so amazing that she flaunted herself just for my enjoyment and I couldn't help but jump off the bed to pull her into a kiss. She placed her hands on my chest and trailed them up until they tangled in my hair. Our lips moved together and I let my hands first travel to her waist and then to her perfect butt. Maybe I was going to get lucky tonight? I gave her ass a light squeeze and she began to laugh against my lips. I pulled away and she smiled.
"I know what you want Jacob and you can't have it."
"Please?" I pleaded and began giving her soft kisses down her neck. She shuttered lightly and I knew I was breaking her down. She sighed and moaned in my ear, but then abruptly pulled back.
"No Jacob." She said in a voice that made it sound like she was trying to convince herself more than me.
"Why? I've been good." I tried again and put on my best puppy dog face.
"You look pathetic Jacob." She laughed and went back to get on my bed.
I followed after her and climbed on my side.
"We are most definitely not having sex. We both have a lot of studying to do and my entire family is downstairs. Emmett wouldn't ever let me live it down and you know daddy might actually kill you this time."
Damn her logic.
"Well fine, but I want some hot hot sex the minute we're alone." I said with a sexy smile.
"Don't push your luck Alpha." She laughed and pulled my face to hers for a scorching kiss that lasted for at least fifteen minutes.
We went back to studying and I actually got a pretty decent amount done thanks to Nessie's persistent attention to my education. She wouldn't let me even look up from my books and she helped me outline a paper I had do for one of my other classes before making me memorize some physics formulas. I was mentally exhausted after my study session and wanted to go right to sleep, but Nessie refused to let me.
"I think we should watch Troy Jacob." She said while going over to my bookshelf to get the DVD.
"Why? I hate that movie."
"How can you hate Troy? It's not historically accurate but it gets the story down pretty close. Besides, there's no way I'm giving up a chance to see half naked Greek gods prance around in battle." She giggled and put the movie in DVD player before coming to snuggle into my chest.
" It's too god damn long and there's no real plot." I sighed.
"I'm sure you'll like it better this time around." She kissed my chin and I settled in to watch the two-hour movie.
I hated to admit it, but Nessie was right; I did kind of enjoy watching it. I could see the historical inaccuracies she was talking about, but I had a better understanding of what was going on in my Classical Cultures class and I was sure the movie would help with the project I had due in a couple of weeks. After the movie was done, I heard Nessie's heartbeat slow and knew she was asleep. I kissed the top of her head before drifting off to sleep myself.
The rest of the week went by without any hitch although I could tell that Nessie was scared about her grandmother's visit. By the time Friday rolled around, Nessie was on pins and needles. I watched her pace the floor in front of the window wall of my room as we waited for Rene and Phil to arrive.
"Nessie, you've got to calm down. You're going to send yourself into another attack and that's exactly what we don't need when we have humans in the house." I said and continue to watch her pace.
"I know, but I hate this. Why does she have to come now of all times? She doesn't even like me." Nessie replied.
"Of course she does. How could you think that?"
"Oh please Jacob. She thinks I'm mooching off her daughter. Just watch her while she's here. She barely even looks at me."
"She was just scared last time. I bet she's warmed up since then."
Nessie gave me the look that told me to not argue with her and I held my hands up in defeat.
"And then she's going to be here for my birthday and I'm going to have to pretend to be human the whole time." She sighed and sat on the bed.
"Babe, it will be fine. We're not going to let you do anything you would regret." I moved closer to her and began kissing her neck, which calmed her down considerably, "We just have to make it through your birthday and then everything will go back to normal."
She sighed and nodded her head.
Speaking of Nessie's birthday, I wasn't sure if she knew it, but this was her last one before she became a married lady and everyone was freaking out. I don't know why, but Bella especially was crying at any mention of Nessie's 18th. I guess it was just the fact that Nessie was a full-grown woman now and there was no going back from here. For the past week, I've been using the family to distract Nessie so that I could spend time in the garage working on her present. I didn't want to buy her anything because I figured she could get whatever she wanted, so I opted to make something instead. Her gift wasn't finished yet, but I hoped she liked it. Maybe I should buy her something just in case.
"And you can't avoid her forever babe." I said getting back to the subject.
"Why not?"
"I expect you're inviting her to the wedding?"
"Oh yeah. Damn. I forgot about that." Nessie said.
I continued kissing Nessie'e neck until we heard the front door open and smelled two humans make their way through the house. We heard Phil and Rene greet everyone downstairs and Edward whispered for us to come down after ten minutes. I took Nessie's hand and intertwined our fingers as we made our way down the marble staircase to the family room where everyone was situated.
Nessie's heels clicked on the floor and everyone turned as we entered through the giant archway.
"Hi Rene." Nessie smiled.
"Wow Nessie. You look as beautiful as always." She got off of the sofa and gave Nessie a hug, "And you look so grown up. I can't believe my Bella is taking care of an orphaned teenager." Rene smiled but you could still hear the tone of her voice, which said she wasn't too happy with the fact that her daughter was picking up the tab on someone else's child. This probably wasn't the life she envisioned for her daughter although I don't know how she could critize since Bella was obviously ecstatic with her life. Nessie was a wonderful surprise and was more than any of us could ever hope for but Rene just saw her as Edward's niece who depended on Bella for motherly support.
If only she knew.
Edward told us that on her last visit, she convinced herself that Nessie wasn't Bella's biological daughter, but I knew she was trying to work it out in her mind. Rene wasn't a rude woman, but I could tell that she was not too fond of Nessie no matter what she said. Now that I thought about it, Rene didn't really talk to Nessie on her last visit; maybe Nessie was right? I hopped that Rene would one day come to truly love Nessie, but I doubted she would ever think of her as family. I looked over at Edward and he nodded his head in acknowledgement to my thoughts.
"And I see you and Jacob are still together." Rene said as she turned to me for a hug.
"Yup. Four years." I smiled when she pulled back.
Even though she would be getting an invitation in the spring, I didn't think we should tell Rene about me and Nesie's engagement right now; that might freak her out a little too much.
We moved further into the family room and sat down with Bella and Edward. I had never noticed him before, but as I let my eyes roam over the room, I saw who I assumed to be Phil, looking Nessie up and down with wide eyes. I guess I couldn't blame him since this was the first time he had ever seen Nessie, but Edward and I growled anyways because his eyes lingered a little too long when they reached her chest. Even though Nessie wasn't his biological grandchild, it was still disgusting.
Bella heard my growl and tried to diffuse the situation, "Uh…Nessie, this is Phil, Rene's husband. I guess that makes him your step grandfather."
Nessie nodded her head at him and he shook his head to clear his dirty mind.
"Hi." Nessie said sweetly.
"It's very nice to meet you." Phil replied and that was all he said for the rest of the day.
Now that I knew what I was looking for, I could defiantly tell that Rene treated Nessie differently than a normal grandmother would treat her grandchild. She never actually said anything rude to Nessie, but everyone could tell that she was hesitant towards her and acted like she didn't belong in the family. I knew we couldn't tell her the truth about what was going on, but I couldn't stand the look on Nessie's face during dinner when Rene pleaded with Bella for a "real grandchild." Nessie had to excuse herself from the table and ran to her room to cry for a few minutes before coming back to the table with a pained smile on her face. I took her hand under the table and we continued eating like nothing had happened. When Rene did actually talk to Nessie, it was about the general things; school, college, hobbies, friends. As the night went on, I hoped Rene would warm up to her, but she never did. It wasn't like Rene was purposefully being mean towards Nessie, but she didn't really know how her words seemed to come out.
Bella tried to wean her mother onto a different topic but Rene never let up and wanted to know why Bell and Edward hadn't gotten pregnant yet. After another hour at the dinner table, Nessie excused herself once again and carried her plate into the kitchen. This time, I followed her and wrapped my arms around her waist when I reached the sink. Her back was facing away from me and I pulled her against my chest. I could hear her quietly sobbing so I placed soft kisses on the back of her head.
"Please don't cry Ness. She just doesn't know about you." I whispered.
"I know and I'm trying to tell myself that if she knew, she would love me, but it just hurts Jacob. I can't tell her the truth and she probably won't ever know who I really am."
"I know baby, I know." I said into her hair and continued to hold her as she cried over the kitchen sink.
PLEASE COMMENT AND REVIEW. I NEED ENCOURAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS.
THANKS
