Chapter 4: Meeting the Family and First Dates
Destiny POV
After I got home from school today Alice, Rose, and Mom attacked me with clothes and make-up and have been working on my outfit, hair, and make-up since 4. Jay was going to be here at 8 and it was 7:50.
"Are you guys done yet, Jay will be here in ten minutes." I said getting all anxious and nervous.
"Almost, give us another minute or two ok. We have to make you look perfect."Rose said
"Okay. Hey uncle Jazz." I said in a normal tone knowing that he could hear me.
"Yea" he said walking into the bedroom.
"Um ,can you like um calm me down a little I guess I'm getting all anxious and really nervous." I asked embarrassed.
"Destiny, I'm already trying to keep you calm just take a deep breath and everything will be alright. Why are you so nervous anyway?" he asked.
"Cause dad has never been mad at me for more than a day and he hasn't talked to me at all today and the rest of yesterday after he found out that I was going out on this date. He's making me nervous because I don't want him to ruin this by saying something or being rude to Jay. This night is very important to me." I said even though I knew that if my dad was downstairs with everyone else he would have gotten the hint . Hopefully.
"Honey , don't worry , I'll keep Jake calm. "My uncle said as he gave me a wink.
"Yea and if he does do anything which he won't, we will all enjoy ripping him to shreds . Especially me." Said Rose with a smile plastered on her face probably picturing ripping my dad to pieces.
"Okay. Thanks guys." I said and took a breath. "Hey ,Rose you almost done." I asked needing to move around so I didn't have a panic attack in my seat.
"Hold on……….Okay. Now I'm done , have a look. What do you think?" she asked sounding very proud of her work.
"Oh my god, I love it thanks Rose." After I got the full effect I turned back to my aunt and said "See, this is why you do my hair, mom does my make-up and Alice does my outfit." I said pointing to my outfit, very happy with the results. Then the doorbell rang.
"He's here." Rose said giving me a little push towards the door when I froze after hearing the doorbell ring. 'Oh god here comes the nerves.' I thought.
When I got downstairs grandpa Carlisle was introducing Jay to everyone.
"Hey." I said once I got down the stairs.
"Hey…….wow Destiny you look great." He said smiling at me with that god like smile of his.
"Thanks. You don't look to bad yourself. You ready to go." I asked just wanting to start our date.
"Yea let's go."He said holding the door open for me.
"Kay , bye guys." I said walking out of the door
"Be home by 10:30." Grandma Esme said
" Ok" I answered and took a quick glimpse at my family and looked at my dad who gave me a reassuring smile letting me know that our fight was over. Bout time. With seeing his smile I knew I had nothing to ruin my night and that just made me smile more.
When I got to the car Jay opened my door for me as I got in and closed it. Then he ran over to the driver's side of the truck and started the car up.
"So you want to go to a movie then dinner or dinner and then a movie."Jay asked once we were pulling out of our long driveway onto the highway.
"Um I don't really care it's up to you."I said not really caring as long as I got to spend time with him alone.
"Want to go to the movie first so that we don't have to rush through dinner." He said sounding o considerate . Thank god I hunted last night I should be fine for the next week, that's the best thing about being a third vampire.
"Yea sure so what movie do you want to see Jay" I said just wanting to hear his voice it's like a drug to me.
"Oh I don't know…….oh how about we see fast and furious." He suggested.
"Sure."I answered back enthusiastically. "I've seen the preview the movie looks pretty good."I answered back.
"Okay ."He said with a smile.
After Dinner and the Movie at the Park
"Thank-you for taking me out , I had a great had a lot of fun tonight."I said as we walked through the park by the high school hand and hand after dinner.
"It's no problem I had a really fun time tonight as well."He said as he stopped walking and I stopped to. We were still holding hands facing each other face to face.
"Destiny, I don't what it is , but there is something about you that , I just don't know what , but it makes me feel like I can be myself around you. I've never felt this way before . I….I really like you. A lot." He said looking me directly in the eye; which allowed me to see how sincere he was being.
"Jay...I feel the exact same way" I said taking 2 steps closer so that my body was pressed up against his as I wrapped my arms around his neck securely, "and to let you in on a little secret ….I like you a lot too." I said looking down slightly embarrassed thinking that I was trying too hard and making a fool of myself.
He put his finger under my chin and lifted my face up so I could look him directly in the eye. Slowly he started to close the gap between us so are touching together. Then it hit me about a second or two later that we were kissing. The kiss was perfect , with just the right amount of passion and everything. Then as we slowly pulled away slowly resting our foreheads against each other. We were both smiling like complete idiots.
"Wow." Was all I could say. The kiss could have been just a peck but the intensity that was felt no matter how long or short the kiss was; was absolutely amazing.
"Yea, wow. Destiny…" Jay said
"Yes" I said smiling looking up at him smiling.
"Will you uhhh be my ummmmmmm be my girlfriend?" Jay asked thank god for that I don't know what I would have done if he didn't ask.
"Of course…….bout time you asked." I said which made him smile at me as we both leaned into each other for another breath taking kiss.
"Better get you home now I guess. "He said that made me pout and him laugh. "Oh come on now don't want your parents hating your new boyfriend for having you home later after our first date."
"Okay fine" I said and then I smiled having a brilliant idea. "But one more kiss wouldn't hurt anyone now would it." I said which made him laugh, which made me laugh as he leaned into kiss me one more time but with a little bit more passion this time compared to before. And then he broke the kiss which made me pout again and him laugh. God this boy will be the death of me.
"Come on let's go." He said taking my hand and heading off back to his truck and then after we were both in the truck we made our way back to my house. Once we got back to my house he got out of the car opened my door for me and walked me up to the front door.
"So I'll um see you later then." I said smiling all I could do ever since he kissed me tonight was smile.
"Yea , I'll call you tomorrow ok." He said
"Okay "I said leaning in to kiss him. As he pulled away I opened the door and watched as he drove away. After his car was out of view, I walked into the house with a big grin on my face, as I sat down in between Rose and Alice who were smiling like me waiting for me to spill about my date.
"So, tell us how was your date." My aunts both asked me in unison.
"Let's just say that I am officially not single anymore." I said and jump up off the couch to look at both their faces which made them both jump up in delight right in front of me as we all started squealing as we bounced around we just kept saying "Oh my God". Alice and Rose were jumping around happy because they could play Destiny Barbie and I was because I have the best boyfriend ever.
"Good Date." Grandpa Edward said walking down the stairs with grandma Bella. ' Like you don't already know' I thought which made him smirk.
"Yea the best, where's mom I have to tell her that I officially have a boyfriend."As I said this grandma Bella squealed just like Rose ,Alice, and I and gave me a hug.
"I'm so happy for you sweetheart…..um your mom and dad went out for a little while." She said hinting on what was going on which was confirmed once Grandpa Edward growled after hearing what grandma had just said.
"Oh, okay, enough said I'm just going to bed." I said giving my grandparents a kiss on the cheek and headed off to bed. I still can't believe that I have a boyfriend this is so cool. I just couldn't get the thought out of my head
