Chapter four- Fair play
"Ring.. ring."
"Ring.. ring"
For god sake who seriously calls at 6am? I rolled on my side to grab my phone and who ever dare wake me should have been expecting an angry Jacob.
I blinked when I saw the caller ID, was I dreaming (more like having a nightmare) or was Edward Cullen calling me? Why was Edward Cullen calling me?
"Uh hello?" I droaned.
"Jacob?" Why was he whispering?
"Yeah-uh?" I was so tired I could feel my speak slurring. Me and the pack went out last night and we hadn't got in til early morning. I had hardly been asleep for four hours.
"I need to talk to you"
"Oh for god sake, get it over and done with or save it for a more social hour." I could feel my temper slipping.
"Oops sorry, I forgot you slept" he was still whispering.
"Yeah-uh. I eat too aren't I odd!" wait a second.... was Edward being nice or sarcastic? I sat up in my bed.
"Most perculiar" he laughed almost silently, maybe Renesmee was sleeping? Like I should of been.
"Well Bella dosen't exactly know I've called but she's been talking me into this whole 'Jacob idea'" he exhaled, which was wierd cause Vampires don't breathe. I don't think.
"Ah" I said, "You know I can't help how much I love your daughter, and I would be the most perfect boyfriend.. I was almost good enough for Bella" I laughed nervously and I'm sure he muttered the word "Almost".
"I know that anything better than you would be a Vampire and I couldn't agree to that the way I have to this" he said
"Your agreeing to it?" I was defonatly awake now.
"Uh, I have conditions" he had obviously been thinking.
"Rules?" I sunk back down. I could just imagaine the lost list of do's and dont's that he had spent the whole night putting together.
"Sort of..." he laughed, "Firstly" I took a deep breath. "No cliffs, no diving off them"
"What?" I burst out laughing, that one wasn't on my list.
"Second, no motor bike. Infact no car unless I give my approval"
"Third. No threatening to kill yourself if she turns you down" he sounded really glum.
"Eh, don't worry Edward. No cliffs, no bike, no... threats" I laughed.
"Thanks Jacob" he sighed.
"This is really getting to you isn't it?" I asked,
"You couldn't imagine"
"Sorry," I muttered.
"Nessie could have worse" he said hopefully.
"You mean Seth could've imprinted on her?" I joked, he hadn't heard that boys thoughts recently! God he was growing into some sick kid..
"How is Seth?" he asked.
"Smashing, eh d'ya mind if I go.. I'm like sleeping" I was droaning again.
"True, you'll need it" he laughed.
All I could manage was "Whaa?" as I drifted off to sleep.
"It's Renesmee she's getting so teenager-ish"
"Oh heaven forbid she'de be teenager-ish"
"Night Jacob"
"Night Edward"
I didn't go back to sleep, how could I? Edward was being so nice, so kind, so reasonable. Amazing what Bella can do to him, last time I saw him he was ready to feed me to the cats! And now I had Edward Cullen's best wishes!" I almost rand Bella up to tell her how magical she really was and how she deserves a medal, but unlike some my phone dosen't start dialling til 12. Phone needs it's sleep!
I was allowed an ounce more time with Nessie now. I was allowed a whole, full length day. Dawn to dusk. Each Sunday was our Sunday.
I tried taking her to the cinema (I was shocked when she got into a 15), bowling, fast food places—y'know the places you see teenager's out and about. But she didn't enjoy it and whenever I asked her where she wanted to go it was always the Reservation.
Who can resist La Push? Well anyway one night the same as all Sundays I took her to the reservation. Billy was having a get-together with dancing and oldies music. I was certain she would love it cause she's into the same music as her family: Stone age boogies.
Sam and Emily, Sue and Billy, Quil and Claire, Jared and Kim, Seth and Leah and well just about everbody was going. I think it was celebrating Emily's pregnancy. But this was no babyshower.
"Pretty sweet party" I commented. "Pretty sweet? This place is amazing, what did you do?!" Renesmee stared in awe at my the sceanery.
It was dark and the only light besides the brilliant full moon was coming from the crackling fire. Everybody was dressed in their best shirts and dresses dancing around the fire, Billy had made an amazing light show out of tealight candles- Unlike some he had a talent for making something crappy beautiful.
There were white rose petals sprinkled around the fire—there was something symbolic going on there but I couldn't figure it out.
"Its so simple. Unlike Alice's parties. She would never of thought of this, its genius"
"Genius" I laughed, "Its called natural," I breathed in deeply "Can't beat that smell" I exhaled.
She breathed in and coughed loudly, "I breathed in... the smoke... by accident" she spluttered. "Are you alright?" I asked, genetally worried.
"I'm fine" she smiled. "So Miss Cullen, Please dance with me?" I Held out my hand for her. She took it and we danced under the moonlight.
