I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob no matter how hard I tried. Our date was simple, yet amazing. It was the best date I had been on in a while, Even my old boyfriend couldn't top it. I didn't know why it was so perfect, either. Maybe it was because I was with the perfect guy.
Jacob was my perfect guy. He was tall, muscular, handsome, understanding, kind, and amazing. We had a fabulous date, and even though we weren't going steady, I still liked him just the same. Why wouldn't I like a guy like Jacob? He was amazing.
The day after the date I got a call from him.
"Hey baby," he greeted. "Want to go down to the beach today? It'll be us, the guys, and the girls."
"Yeah, sure," I replied. Anything to see him again. "Sounds like fun. When should I go down?"
"I'll come pick you up in thirty minutes," he told me. "Is that okay?"
"That's fine. I'll be ready."
"Good. I'll see you soon, okay, sweet heart?"
I just loved when he gave me pet names.
"Yeah, o-okay," I stuttered.
He chuckled. "Bye baby."
"Bye."
Quickly, I took a shower, since it was ten in the morning. I put on my bikini, my make-up, and then some short shorts and a t-shirt, over it.
Jacob was true to his word and came thirty minutes later. When I saw him pull up to the house I rushed downstairs.
"Woa," Quil laughed, grabbing me by the waist and stopping me. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Down to the beach with Jacob," I replied. "Aren't you?"
He looked down at himself. He had on pajama pants and smelt pretty bad. He was probably working out.
"Oh," I laughed. "Well, are you going?"
"Yeah, in like ten minutes. I'm sure Jakey just wanted some extra time with you." He kissed my forehead. "Be good, alright? I saw that kiss after the date."
I blushed and hit him. "Quil! You were spying on me?"
He shrugged. "Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. All I said was that I saw that kiss, so be good."
"I will."
"Alright." He let go of my waist. "Have fun. I'll see you in a few."
I kissed his cheek. "Okay, bye big brother."
"Bye, little sis."
I rushed outside and down the steps that led to Jacob's pick-up truck. He was waiting for me, his hands behind his head. Once he saw me he smirked and sat up. I blushed and smiled.
"Hello beautiful," he greeted as I opened the car door. "How are you doing today?"
"Fine," I replied. "What about you?'
"Peachy keen, jelly bean," he laughed. "You ready for the beach?"
"Yeah, I'm so excited. It'll be fun."
"It should be. I hear Embry, Payton, Jared, and Kim are already down there."
"No Paul and Cameryn?" I laughed.
"Not yet. They're supposed to come, but they might get a little preoccupied with making out the entire time."
"I bet they are," I laughed. "Cammy and Paul always make out. Besides, I don't mind if he's there or not."
"Baby, are you still upset about what Paul said to you?"
I nodded. "I never knew that he was such a racist bastard."
Jacob sighed and shook his head. "That mother fucker doesn't mean shit, okay? Don't even worry about him. He won't bother you anymore, especially since Cameryn threatened him with no kisses. He felt really badly about it."
"Yeah, he better feel bad." I crossed my arms over my chest. "I don't like him."
"He gets a little better once you get to know him," he assured me. "Just give him a chance."
"I did, and he failed."
Jacob stopped the car and looked at me. I looked away.
"Hey." He took my chin softly in his hand and turned it to me. "Don't be like that baby." He kissed me softly. "I promise I won't ever let him hurt you again."
"Oh, okay," I stuttered.
His lips mesmerized me. I went in for another kiss, but he put a finger to my lips.
"Do you really want that?"
I nodded. "It's all I ever want."
He chuckled and kissed me once more, but it was short. He didn't want to rush things; I understood that, but it was still upsetting not to be able to kiss the guy that I liked so much.
"Let's go," he whispered against my lips. I nodded and pulled away.
"Then let's go."
We both got out of the car and over to the beach. Jared, Kim, Embry, and Payton were standing in the sand, letting the water brush up against their feet. I ran over and jumped on Embry's back. He laughed and spun me around.
"Who do I got here?" Embry laughed. "A little girl who needs to be dunked?"
He ran into the water until it was up to my waist. I squealed as he dropped me, but he quickly picked me back up and ran me back to the shore. I was so wet, but I didn't care. It was fun.
I jumped off his back and ran back into Jacob's arms. I snuggled my head into his chest and kissed it softly.
"You're wet," he laughed. "And I didn't do it. That makes me sad."
I slapped him because of his sexual innuendo. Everyone else laughed, except for Payton. She just stood there.
"So, how are you, Taya?" Kim asked.
"I'm doing good," I replied with a smile. "And yourself?"
"Perfect," she laughed. "We were thinking about having a sleepover tonight. Are you coming?"
"Don't we have school tomorrow?" I asked.
"We do, but we can always just go to school together. I mean, we're seniors. We're supposed to have fun."
"Okay, I'm in."
"Good, I thought you might take up my offer. After this we'll drop you off at your place and then Quil can drive you over to my house."
"Okay, sounds good."
"Speak of the devil…."
Quil came up from behind me and spun me around. I giggled and squealed.
"Why are you so wet?" he asked.
"It was me," Jacob laughed.
Quil looked at him strangely. "Dude, really? She's my sister."
"He's just joking," Embry spoke up. "It was me, dunking her into the ocean."
"Make sure you take care of my sister," he growled. "Or else I'm gonna have to give you a knuckle sandwich."
"Oh I'm soo scared," Embry teased. "I was just playing with her."
"Yeah, I'm fine," I assured him. "We were just having fun."
"Alright, but if you get a cold don't come crying to me."
Jacob pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around me. "No, she'll come crying to me first." He kissed the top of my head. "Huh, baby?"
"Yeah," I replied with a smirk. "I'd love that."
After a while Cameryn and Paul came. I ignored Paul for the most part, and he ignored me too. Cameryn and I talked for a long time, and we really connected. I loved it so much.
When we got into the car Jacob pulled a ring off his finger.
"What's that for?" I asked.
"Taya, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.
