Disclaimer: Twilight is all Stephanie Meyer, I own nothing.
AN: Here's the next chapter already, I'm updating this one more often than any of my other story's. I'm doing this so I can catch up with the others, as far as time line goes that is. I'm a teeny bit compulsive, so I'm giving in to my need to have them all running in the same time frame.
Oh shit…
~*~
POV: Jacob
~*~
Their eyes dropped to our hands, which were firmly locked together, taking in this image their faces changed drastically. Honestly I hadn't expected a response this intense, they had to know this day would come, or at least take the option into account, but they looked… well shocked.
Never was I under the impression that it would be easy to see a child grow up, realize they wouldn't need you as much as they had, maybe not even that long ago. Somehow this process appeared to be harder when it concerned a daughter instead of a son, this particular daughter was the child of two vampires!
They had to know though how much I loved their daughter, that she was my first and foremost priority, I would never let any harm come to her.
"And what will you do Jacob, if you're the one inflicting the pain yourself" Edward was already in my head, hissing slightly as he spoke.
"I would never harm her on purpose!" I was offended by his insinuation.
"You have already hurt her, a lot actually, over the last few months" he reminded me.
"Dad, stop it! You're being unreasonable!" Nessie stepped in, placing herself between Edward and me.
"Maybe we should take this somewhere else, a little more private perhaps?" Bella offered. This was it, this is where they were going to kill me, take some place secluded an d be done with it.
"Jacob, why would we do an atrocious thing like that, think of how heartbroken our Nessie would be" he chuckled.
Well, I'm glad at least one of us is finding this amusing, because I sure as hell don't. Edward just kept smiling at me, while Nessie and Bella where looking at us curiously, obviously they wanted to know what the content of our weird little conversation was.
"You're right Bella, we should continue this elsewhere, the cottage perhaps?" the cottage, did he just say the cottage? Great! They wanted to talk in the cottage, that was located far enough from the main house, so that not even the other vampires could hear us, talk about the supreme torturing spot.
"Really dad, you're so overdoing this whole scary act, it's not gonna work, you wouldn't hurt him any way. So it doesn't matter where you're gonna tell me not to be with Jake, I'm with him already, whether you like it or not!" jesus Nessie, don't provoke him!
"Renesmee, why do you feel the need to be so rebellious?" didn't he realize that this wasn't like that, Bella obviously read the confusion on my face, because she reassured me.
"Jacob, Edward isn't doubting her feelings for you, he simply wants to talk about it, but she is refusing to listen to anything we might have to say about it" Bella was taking this a lot better.
"Yes, well, she doesn't have to listen to Nessie, while she's contemplating what to do with you exactly" he said glaring at Nessie. What to do with me? Then it clicked, was she thinking up intimate moments between the two of us? No wonder he was flipping out!
"Perhaps, you understand better what my motivations are, I don't want her to rush anything that she might regret later" his voice had been sad when he spoke.
Nessie walked towards Edward, placing a hand on his cheek, his eyes closed as he was looking at whatever she was showing him. The sad look disappeared from his face, letting out a small sigh, before taking his daughter into a big hug.
"Ok Ness, but don't expect me to be jumping with joy right now, I need some time to get used to this" he said softly as he released her.
"I know you'll be good to her Jacob" Bella's voice made me leave the interaction between Edward and Nessie I had been watching. She gave me a big hug, we weren't as close as we once were and that was a good thing, but we were still good friends.
One day I would have to tell Nessie about the past her parents and I shared, it was important that she understood the significance of my bond with Bella, if it hadn't been as strong then, we might not be here today.
Nessie appeared next to me, just as Bella let me go, I took a few steps following Nessie. But I turned around looking at Edward and Bella, who now stood huddled close together, Nessie took my hand in hers and pulled me with her.
"It's ok Jake, come on" she said, trying to put my mind at ease. We moved onto the dancing area, she wasn't kidding when she said she wanted everybody to know.
With the way we were dancing, I'm sure nobody would be wondering if there had been a change in our relationship, it was fucking obvious! She had her whole body plastered against mine, yet I was still trying to move closer to her, we moved with the music without losing contact with each other.
Dam this girl could move, swaying her body with mine, always keeping perfect rhythm. She moved her hips against mine, turning me on so badly, I was afraid I was going to pop right then and there.
The crowd was thinning, almost everybody had left, but I was nowhere near tired. I could keep going like this, losing myself in the magical dance we danced, no longer actually hearing the music, just feeling the beat vibrating through me.
Eventually she took me with her to her room in the main house, she had a room here as well as in her parents cottage. She had taken the lead in this thing we were doing, then again, she had always had the lead, no matter what we did and it was perfectly fine with me.
"What are you doing?" she was packing up some stuff in a weekend bag.
"What does it look like Jakey?" stating the obvious.
"Yeah, I can see that smart ass, but why?" I asked more clearly.
"Well, I'm coming with you of course" she announced matter-of-factly.
"What?!" was she trying to see how far she could push her parents, before they would snap?
"You're not gonna stay here, we will be interrupted every 5 minutes!" she said firmly. I tried to speak, but words failed me, she definitely had something planned. And for the love of me, I couldn't decide, whether that was a good or a bad thing. One thing I was sure about though, we needed to get out of here as fast as possible!
"Yeah, ok, so are you almost finished?" I asked urgently, ready to bolt if one of her family members would burst through the door, keeping a wary eye on while I waited for her.
"Jake, what are you doing?" she asked when she noticed my stance and the worried look on my face.
"Huh? Nothing, just taking precautions" I answered distracted.
"You know my father already approved, right?" ha! So not funny!
"He approved of us" I gestured between the two of us "not of me defiling his daughter on the first day that we are together, which by the way is not gonna happen" like I was gonna do that with her on our first date, which wasn't even a date.
"Oh lighten up Jake, if my parents hadn't given me permission to spend the night at your place, they would have been in here in a flash" she sighed.
"Are you telling me, that your father, Edward, winner of the 'most overprotective dad of the century' award, is ok with you sleeping over?" she had loads of times when she was younger, but that was entirely different.
"Yep" she said popping the 'p'.
Completely perplexed with what she just said, I plopped down on her bed, I had never understood Edward, this night made me realize I probably never would. Nessie was grabbing some things from her bathroom, her bag was now overly full and I knew she was planning on stuffing more into it, she did, still managing to zip it up.
"Are you coming?" she asked me when I hadn't gotten up.
"Sure, sure" I said while getting up.
~*~
We arrived at my place twenty minutes later, she skipped around the car, grabbing her bag from the trunk, like this was an everyday event. Like she had spent the night in my bed a million times before, she was so carefree and enthusiastic about almost everything, this obviously wasn't any different.
Well, her being over here wasn't that unusual really, during the summers her parents let her have some time off from home school. So she would spend a lot of time over here, even she when had school every weekday until one, you could often find her here later in the afternoon.
But this was different, although it didn't seem to be for her, she was acting as if we had been together for years, completely relaxed she walked into the house, dumping her bag in the hallway, before moving into the kitchen.
Shouldn't she be nervous or something, I mean, she was planning on losing her virginity tonight and taking mine in the process. I knew her so well, but not in this area, here I was flying dark, not a shred of light to help me guide my way.
I watched her do her thing, admiring her from a distance, her shiny copper hair flowing down to her back, her fair skin, complemented by a slight blush, those sparkling chocolate brown eyes. To me she was perfection itself, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
"You're so beautiful" I sighed and she smiled at me.
"I know that, but thanks anyway" she said sweetly, making me laugh loudly, it was so Nessie. Don't get me wrong she's not arrogant or anything, it's just that people have been telling her how gorgeous she is all her life.
She is a very unusual individual, my Nessie, traces of every female member in her family could be found back in her. Alice's exuberance, Rose's vanity, Esmee's motherliness and most of all, Bella's warm and loving nature, was getting more visible as the days went by.
"Struck by the midnight munchies? " I asked as I saw her rummaging around in the fridge.
"Yeah, do you want some?" her voice muffled as her head was still in there.
Suddenly the door slammed and we heard laud laughing coming through the living room, heading our way, Embry, Seth and Nathan came into view.
"Hey Nessie, watcha making there?" Embry asked.
"Hi Embry, just a few sandwiches, why?" she stretched out the last word.
"Well, that looks delicious honey!" Nathan said with a flirty tone, his eyes never leaving her, a growl escaped me, but he didn't let it bother him.
"Oh no, don't try to use those charms on me Nathan, you know those have no effect in me!" Nathan was without a doubt the biggest womanizer in the pack, he joined our pack right before the Volturi came for Nessie. He had been playing the field with great conviction ever since, with great success I might add.
"Do they have enough power over you to convince you to make us a few sandwiches?" Seth asked.
"Well there isn't enough for everybody, but I could cook up some spaghetti?" the kitchen filled with loud whooping noises from the others.
"You don't have to do that Nessie" I whispered in her ear, they could make their own dinner.
"I don't mind Jake" she kissed me full on the lips, right in front of the guys, which gave them the perfect excuse to start hooting and yelling again, until she released me and went on gathering what she needed.
"So, when did this happen?" Nathan asked me.
"Don't tell me you didn't see them on the dance floor earlier?!" Seth asked surprised.
"Ah, I might have been a little caught up in something else" Nathan explained.
"Something?" Nessie asked "more like someone!" she laughed.
"Perhaps" Nathan admitted "but the fact remains, that this is news to me" he looked from Nessie, to me and back to Nessie again.
"It might be news, but it's none of your business!" she countered.
"You tell him baby!" I chuckled.
This went on as we ate the spaghetti Nessie had made for us, the five of us, sitting at our small kitchen table, it was a bit crowded, but we didn't let it bother us. After dinner the guys were getting ready to leave, then I noticed Embry was too, he wouldn't be leaving because Ness was staying?
"Hey Em, where are you going?" I asked when I pulled him aside "you don't have to leave for our sake."
"Who said I was" Embry replied a little irritated.
"Look man, I just didn't want you to be uncomfortable with it" what crawled up his ass?
"Yeah, I know, I'm not though" he sighed, I didn't want to own up to it, but I still was curios to find out where he was going.
"So boys, what are the plans for tonight?" Nessie asked when she had put the remains of the spaghetti in the fridge.
"Us guys are having a night out!" Nathan said excitedly, I wonder when this dude would ever stop partying, probably not until he imprinted, with the rate he went through women, he should have found his imprint a long time ago.
"Oh is that so" Nessie was eyeing Embry suspiciously.
"We're single, we're allowed to have some fun" he mumbled, but everybody had heard him clearly. We all knew he had imprinted and we all understood what he was saying, the silence that fell was awkward and tense.
"So, we should go then" Seth said, as always, trying to keep the peace. And they left quickly, getting out of this weir situation as fast as they could. When they were gone, Nessie turned to me.
"He wouldn't right?" she asked me.
"Nah, he's just frustrated, but he loves her too much to do something stupid" I hoped I was right.
"Well, good, he should just have a little patience, tonight she admitted to me for the first time, that she had an interest in him" she said.
"Good, he deserves to be happy, cause he's been feeling like crap lately" he had and it was making me said to think about it. Nessie wasn't giving much time to do so, because she grabbed the bag and started walking upstairs.
"Are you sleeping down there, or are you joining me up here?" she yelled from the top of the stairs. She didn't have to ask me twice, I hollered up there, taking two steps at a time. Upstairs I found Nessie in my room, lying on top of my bed, patting the spot next to her, asking me silently to lie down with her.
AN: This chapter was a lot more fun for me to write, because there were very little references to my other fic. Finally, I was able to let loose a bit of imagination! Hope you liked it ;)
