I own nothing.
Nessie's POV
"Was that your twin?" Josh asked. We lay on the blanket, starring up at the stars. He had packed a picnic dinner for us, which would have probably been pretty good if I had any interest in human food. We had been out there, just talking next the fire
"Which one?"
"The girl that called me an idiot."
"She didn't call you an idiot. She called you a fool."
He snorted. "Same difference." I turned my face back to the full moon. "Well, is she your twin or not?"
"Yes, her name is Bella."
"Then how come she isn't in our grade?"
"She was a brainiac. She skipped three grades. Already finished collage, the nerd." Yep, she finished collage, but didn't skip any grades. We moved to New Hampshire about a year after the Volturi came.
"Wow."
"Yeah." I wouldn't have to explain this to Jake. I hope his talk with Bella had helped him. I can't stand him being like that. Why did he do it?
"Nessie?"
"What, Jake- I mean Josh. Sorry."
"It's fine. You seem a little up tight tonight. Why?"
"A family friend isn't talking to me."
"Something you want to talk about?"
"Nope." I heard a rustle in the woods. Of course Jake would send someone to watch us. I'm surprised it wasn't Edward who sent someone. What would I do without Jake? I caught a whiff of the wolf in the breeze. Jake hadn't sent someone. He was watching us himself. Thank god.
"Do you mind if I do something?" He sat up. I followed him.
"Depends on what you are going to do," I answered. He leaned forward and his lips met mine.
It didn't feel right. It felt like I was betraying someone, or like I loved someone else more. There was nothing in it, no spark or shine. It was just a kiss. This was Joshua Himmans, THE guy to date, and it was just a kiss. He hands moved to my face, the place were Jake put his hands on my face when he wanted to know something I was hiding.
Jake would matter here. I don't think he would give me just a kiss. His would be, I don't know, really. He would put his hands on my face and my arms would lock around his neck. I would want more, and he would give it to me. I started to kiss Jake back.
OoOoO
Jake's POV
He leaned over and kissed her. The nerve! And on the first date, too. If I wasn't already a wolf, I would have started to shake. She is just sitting there, letting him kiss her. That must mean something. Her face changed to confused, then it straightened out. She started to kiss him back. With passion. Walk away, Jake, just walk away. I couldn't. His hands moved down from her face, to the front of her shirt. The top button was slowly undone.
Her eyes snapped open. She pushed him away from her face. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked angrily.
"Getting want I came for." I growled fiercely. I know that he couldn't hear me, but she could.
"Get off of me." She pushed him off and stalked off toward the road. I ran to my bike.
OoOoO
Nessie's POV
"Where are you going?" he asked, outraged.
"Home," I grumbled. Did he think me a slut? One of those chipper cheerleaders he tumbled with every Saturday night? He did? No one does this to me and gets away with it. NO ONE.
"How are you going to get there?" he asked, wickedly, "I drove you here. I don't have to drive you back."
"I'll just walk. Give my brothers another excuse to break your neck in two." I stalked toward the road. He put out the fire with a bucket of water then climbed in the truck.
"I'm not scarred of your brothers." You should be. "It's seven miles to your house."
"I have a cell phone."
"If you leave now, this relationship is off."
"Off? This relationship is OFF? It was off as soon you decided I was one of your play toys that you could toss into the corner after you used it. I am NOT one of your sluts, Joshua Himmans." A light zoomed down the road and stopped in front of me.
"Nessie? Is that you?" I heard Jake's voice coming from the bike.
"Jake?" I called, trying to sound surprised. "Is that you?"
"Yep. What are you doing here?"
"Umm… can I have a ride?" Jake's eyes flickered to… ugh I can't say his name.
"Yeah." I hopped on his bike and wrapped my arms around his waist.
