Chapter 9
Shocked…
I woke up and felt this warm hand on my stomach. I new whose hand it was. I took my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I felt his face on top of mine. And he whispered to me.
"Hey beautiful"
"Hi sweetie"
"How are you feeling?"
"I am ok I'm still shaky, but other then that I'm doing good"
I smiled and turned over to look Jake in his eyes. He ran his fingers across my face. I was always happy when I was with Jake. He made my whole world. Jake was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I knew that I would love him for all eternity. I also knew that I was not going to let the Volturi ruin my relationship with Jake that was not an option. I was going to fight for the love that we shared.
"What are you thinking about beautiful?"
"Nothing much just us and the Volturi I just want us to be together Jake and I am not going to let my family or the stupid Volturi stop our love for one another" Jake kissed me on my forehead and hoped up out of the bed. I covered my self and sat up. I looked at the alarm clock on the bed it was 5pm. I couldn't believe that once again I slept through a whole day. I saw Jake putting on his clothes.
"Where are you going Jake?"
"I have to go to my house for a few minutes… But I need you to be by my house by 6:30 can you do that?"
I paused for a second trying to figure out why Jake wanted me to come by his house when we could just stay here in each others arms.
"Umm… yeah I guess."
Jake kissed me and he was off. I walked to the front door and watched him disappear into the shadow of the night. I went into my small but comfortable kitchen and put on a small pot of water. I was going to make some tea. I put on the tea walked back into my room and started to go through my clothes. I wanted something simple to wear, while I was looking in my drawer for a simple pair of jeans. I came across a note that was left behind by Jake. I picked up the paper and it said
Renesme,
I know that by now I have asked you to come to my house at 6:30pm. I also know that you are trying to find a pair of jeans. I would like it better if you wore your all black dress that has the split all the way to the thigh with the black wedge heels and your gold jewelry. This is not just a regular night at my house and I want you too please put your hair up in that pretty bun you wear.
I stopped reading the note to figure out what bun he was talking about. I shook my head and continued to read the note.
I know you probably don't remember what bun. It's the bun that you put in where the top is in this bun with pins and you have two curls coming down each side.
Thanks Jake.
I put the letter on top of my dresser got out the outfit that my love was talking about along with the shoes and the Jewelry Jake asked me to wear. I got into the shower and the water felt so good against my skin that I did not want to come out but I knew that I had to. I got out the shower and put on my make up. I fixed my hair in the bun that Jake requested. I went back into my room and got dressed. I walked out of the small house and headed over to Jakes house. I drove in my red Audi. I pulled up to Jakes at exactly 6:30. I saw my grandpa Carlisle's car along with Uncle Jasper, Aunt Alice, Uncle Emmet, and Aunt rose, my parents and my Grandpa Charlie's cars. What was going on here? They never come together like this unless it was something important what am I about to walk into? I walked through the door and saw my whole family standing there. I said hey to everyone. I gave everyone a hug and a kiss. We talked for a little while and that's when I saw him. He had on an all black tuxedo with a bow tie .He had a glow about him that I did not recognize. He smiled from ear to ear. His beautiful teeth sparkled in the light. Jake walked up to me slowly taking his time. I stood in the middle of the floor as he got closer I started to walk to him. We met half way. Jake took my hand and started to bend down to the floor. I didn't know what to expect. I thought he was going to tie his shoe. Jake bent down on one knee and I felt the blood leave my face. He was getting ready to propose to me. I stood there with the look of shock on my face. Was this really happening to me? I looked at Jake's beautiful brown eyes as he was bending on his knees in his all black tuxedo. My heart was pounding out of my chest I was shaking and I know he could tell that I was nervous and shocked at the same time.
"Nessie, you are my life, my world, you are everything. You are the reason that I breathe. I love with all my heart. I want to grow old with you. I want us to have a family. I am on bended knee asking you to make me the happiest person in the world. Nessie will you please do me the honor of becoming my bride?"
The room grew silent. I was looking around at everyone. If vampires could cry I believe that grandma Esme and Aunt Alice would have. My heart started to pound harder. I stood there looking at Jake. The tears started to fall down my cheek I was breathing heavy but one thing was for sure this was what I wanted. I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life.
"Yes Jake, Yes I will"
As soon as I said yes I heard the applause of everyone standing around me
He slid the 15 caret princess diamond on my hand it shinned with such intensity. The diamond was big. It was a princess cut at the top and going around the band was 14 other diamonds. Jake stood up and kissed me passionately. I started to cry as he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a big hug. I was happy. Happy that I was getting everything I wanted in life. Jake stood in the middle of the floor and whispered to me
"I love you Nessie"
"I love you to Jake"
We kissed again and then turned to look at our family. Grandpa Charlie was the first to walk up to us and congratulate us. After Grandpa Charlie everyone else came to us. It was nice. We hugged everyone that was there. I excused myself and went outside to get some fresh air and to cry to myself. As I was walking outside I heard the door open up behind me. Grandpa Charlie came up next to me I was looking up at the stars.
"Hey kido"
"Hi grandpa, how are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you holding up?"
This was my opportunity to talk grandpa alone. Whenever I wanted to talk to him he was at work. But know I have him all to myself.
"I am really happy grandpa, I love Jake with all my heart this is something that I really wanted. I just never thought it would happen. Considering, the fact that my parents don't really like Jake, I'm just so happy. Look at our families getting along. This is a dream come true"
"Nessie I want you to know that no matter what may happen, marriage is really hard and as long as you work hard to keep each other happy you will be fine I also want you to know that you have a good man that will love you and adore you"
I looked at my grandpa with eyes full of tears. My grandpa Charlie was very sweet and he loves Jake. I new he would approve. I hugged my grand father really tight and cried on his shoulder. He pulled away from me and kissed me on my forehead. At that time I saw Jake come outside. I looked at my grandpa and he said
"I will leave you too alone"
I shook my head and he went inside. Jake hugged my grandpa and then Grandpa Charlie walked inside. Jake stood at the doorway just looking at me. I smiled at him and he walked over to me.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes Jake I'm fine."
"Are you still in the state of shock?"
"Yes a little. I just can't believe that you did this for me Jake when did you have time to plan all this out?"
Jake chuckled to his self but I new that this took a lot of time for him to put this together. Let's be honest my family was not the easiest family to explain our love too.
"Well remember back in October when I really wasn't around and you were wondering where I was at and what I was doing?"
"Yes I do"
"I spent most of my time in New York trying to find the perfect ring for you. Then I called my dad and had him come down to help me out because I never did anything like this before"
I looked at Jake and shook my head he continued talking his face was closer to me.
"Well when my dad came we found the perfect ring for you. And then I had to call your parents"
I went cold he told them a head of time and they had the nerve to give him all this grief about loving me and being with me. I got a little mad because when it came to my parents we had to always defend our relationship.
"Edward was not all that bad to talk to, but Bella. That was a different story. I had to almost threaten her to let her know that I was not going to give you up. After convincing her, everything else was easy. I just had to wait for the right time"
"So what made this time the right time"
I smiled at him and he put his hand on my face rubbing my cheek. I leaned my head into his hand and just relaxed in the palm of his hand.
"I figured that even though the Volturi are coming and we have this big battle I wanted you to know that I would not leave you and that I was going to dedicate myself to you no matter what even if I was to perish. I wanted you to know that I love you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you and I new that this would make us both happy"
Perish that sent a chill going through my body. I opened my eyes and looked at Jake and told him
"I am happy Jake… but I will not let you perish we will win this Jake, and no matter what may happen I do want to be with you forever"
We kissed he allowed his hands to wrap around my waste and I put my hands around his shoulder. I love him so much.
