Chapter 6: Hangover
Nessie's POV
I didn't have the will or the energy for that matter to argue with Carlisle. I didn't think that I was going to win. He seemed to be just as stubborn and determined as I was.
He helped me get into the back of his car. I drifted off to sleep on the trip back. I didn't wake up again until I felt Carlisle's ice cold hands lift me out of his car.
"Renesmee how are you feeling?" Carlisle asked me, the concern still evident in his voice.
"I'm feel perfect" I hoped that I sounded convincing enough.
"Renesmee you're slurring your words again which tells me that you are not feeling 'perfect'. Please do not lie to me" Damned it! I wanted to convince him that I was fine. Because I was fine! His concern was completely unnecessary!
"I feel the same" I was forced to admit the truth now.
He carried me inside the house where I saw the rest of his family waiting; including Jacob. I found their collective gasps of shock to be quite funny when they saw me.
"Carlisle why do you have Nessie? What is wrong with her?" Bella asked, now looking completely concerned herself.
"I found her outside of a bar in Port Angeles. She was, well still is, drunk. She was also going to attempt to drive home herself and I could not allow that to happen so therefore I decided to bring her here" Carlisle explained.
Both Bella and Edward just shook their heads at me in disapproval.
Carlisle took me to a room and laid me down on a bed. It didn't take very long for sleep to overcome me again. I didn't wake up until I heard people moving about the house the very next morning. They must have been getting ready for school, but with the massive headache that I felt school was the last thing on my mind.
I tried to remember what happened last night. I remembered drinking. Lots and lots of drinking. I remembered meeting a guy there. His name was Jason I think? Then I remembered when I was leaving that is when I met Carlisle. I had wanted to drive home but he stopped me. Which was a good thing actually.
The pain in my head was splitting. Evidence that I had drank a lot last night. I had never drank that much in my entire life. I did enjoy going to bars...a lot. But I had never gotten drunk before.
I got up slowly and stretched out my muscles. I realized that I was still in the same clothes that I was wearing yesterday. I hoped that I would at least have enough time to go home and change into something else.
As soon as I opened the door I saw Carlisle walking down the hallway toward my room.
"Oh Nessie, you're awake. Good, I was about to go and wake you myself. How are you feeling?"
"Um, okay I guess. I have a splitting headache though" I admitted as I rubbed my head, just hoping that would somehow make it go away.
"Well it's not surprising that you're experiencing a hangover. Follow me and I will give you some medicine"
Medicine. Oh how that sounded so wonderful right now. I followed him to the kitchen where he handed me to pills and a glass of water. I didn't realized how thirsty I was until I tasted the water. It felt so good against my parched throat.
Just then the rest of the Cullen family appeared. I was even introduced to Carlisle's wife Esme. She was a very nice woman and she made me feel right at home.
Honestly I didn't think it was possible to like anyone this fast, but I really did like the Cullen family. They were all so nice and they treated me extremely well even though I was just a stranger to them.
Esme made me scrambled eggs for breakfast which tasted really good in my opinion. It didn't escape my notice that I was the only one actually eating anything. I was going to ask about that when I decided against it. For some reason I thought that it might just be private information.
I thought about everything that happened last night and I felt extremely embarrassed by my behavior. I still couldn't believe that I really drank that much and got drunk. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I wanted to forget the pain and frustration of Jacob's rejection. Speaking of Jacob I did my best to avoid him that morning which was extremely difficult considering that he lived here. I felt embarrassed by the whole situation and I didn't even want to talk to him anymore.
Well, unless he changed his mind and decided that he did want to have sex with me after all.
As soon as I saw Jacob coming into the kitchen I got up to leave. I was surprised when he placed his hand on my shoulder and tried to stop me.
"Jacob will you please let me go?"
"No Nessie, I want to talk to you. If that's okay with you?" It came out sounding more like a question then anything else.
"Did you change your mind?" I asked him. I couldn't keep myself from sounding hopeful.
"No" he said. I felt nothing but frustration and embarrassment. I tried to walk away from him again but he just wouldn't let me!
"Nessie I still want to talk to you" he stated firmly, clearly letting me know that I was not going to get out of this conversation.
"Why? If you haven't changed your mind about my offer then why do you want to talk to me?" I questioned him.
"Because I like you Nessie. I do find you very attractive but I want to get to know you as a person. I said it yesterday and I will say it again, I do not want you for sex. I'm interested in something much more then that. I wanta relationship. I want to get to know you as a person. I want to go on dates with you"
Jacob was extremely stubborn. That was for sure.
That is when I was hit with an idea. A really brilliant idea and I was ashamed that I didn't think of it before. I could play along with this. I could date him for awhile. If I did what he wanted I could get him to do what I wanted. There was nothing wrong with just simply dating him right? As long as I didn't fall in love with him. I was certain that I could do that. I could date him for awhile and then get him to have sex with me and after that I would move on. I was going to get what I wanted one way or another. Sure it was going to take some time, but that would make him my most interesting conquest yet.
"Okay Jake, I'll go on a date with you" I said, much to his shock.
"Really? You will?"
"Yes Jacob, I will. You seem like an interesting guy and I'm interested in getting to know you to"
I didn't want to call what I was doing a trap, but it kind of was a trap. I could avoid falling in love with him, as long as he didn't fall in love with me. That was the plan.
"So how does Friday sound?"
"Friday sounds great" I replied.
As I turned around and walked away I came face to face with Edward. He glared at me and shook his head in disapproval.
Jesus Christ that kid is weird.
