Jacob stopped by the house today for lunch since he was back at the barn with Harry and Paul was back to work. He ate the roast and potatoes Granny and I had made the night before with a slice of Apple Pie for dessert, washing it all down with a glass of Granny's sweet iced tea.
When he was finished with his meal, I walked with him out back and sat on the porch steps. We talked about what tomorrow night would be like, and he said he had never taken anyone to the carnival before. I liked the thought of me being the first girl who has ever been asked to go somewhere with him, but I wouldn't have pegged him for that type of guy. The type that would save himself for so long before asking someone out.
Jacob was a very good looking man. One that could probably have picked any girl he wanted. I was just happy that he had asked me, little ole' Bella Swan- the plain string bean of a girl that has never turned a head before.
I told him how Granny thought it best we go with a group instead of alone. Jacob said it wasn't a problem because his friends planned on going along as well. I told him it would be okay for him to pick me up from the house just as long as he brought along some other people, and possibly some more girls. It wouldn't look very good if I left the house with a group of all men.
All too soon, he had to return to work. That was all I saw of him today since I was busy with Granny trying to get the pie crust made and doing odd little things for her around the house.
I'm not sure how much I'll sleep tonight. My nerves have been on end ever since he asked me, but even more so today. I have a feeling tomorrow will be terrific.
