Chapter: 4
Day: 3 (continued) Device#2
Before I went to my new home I visited my aunt Rosalie, as she said she had a surprise for me. I raced through the halls calling "Rosalie!, Rosalie!" I visited all the rooms and found her finally in the pool room. "Ness! Come here." She was sitting beside the pool. "Yeah?" " This is for you". She handed me a slender rectangular device a little longer than my hand. It had a screen similar to the Mp3 player. "Thanks, I said turning it around in my hand like I'd done with the Mp3. She smiled.."I thought that since you've become a teenager that a cell phone would be the perfect thing". Since she bought me something it reminded me of Alice. I've only been here3 days yet she's already bought me: A laptop, three jackets, five pairs of boots and a sandwich from the deli down the street. Not to mention my entire wardrobe in the first place. I owed her big time. God knows my mom had zero sense of style. I love her to death , but who knows what my mom would have me in. I shuddered at the thought. Anyways, back to Rose. I thanked her again like I knew exactly why I'd want a celly-ma phone." I took the initiative in putting everyone's number in. "oh you forgot to put Jacob's number in", I handed her the phone back. She sighed looking very uncomfortable. "Ness have a seat". I sat. "He told me –", she hesitated. "Hetoldmenottogiveittoyou",she burst out quickly. "oh", I sighed . "Oh…Thanks anyways… It's exactly what I wanted.", I smiled weakly, pathetically. She smiled brightly and slipped her sunglasses on. "Ta Ta!" she waved me off. Outside of the pool room I checked my speed dial list and discovered that Alice was number 2 because voicemail was #1. Rose was 3, Mom and dad were 4&5, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle and Esme were 6, 7, 8 and 9, in that order. I pressed 2 and Alice answered before the first ring was over. "What's up?" "Alice, I need you to tell me where we're moving as fast as possible"., I said hurriedly."Easy. 3 miles directly north, you'll see a small clearing with a beautiful stone house courtesy of mwa! , I could practically hear her brilliant grin. "Thanks", I said relieved. "see you later maybe?" "You better" I chuckled "Bye", I ended the call and followed Alice's directions to my new home.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
Later, I was settled in my new room which was, to say the least, amazing. Here's the link: photos/378618/Who-Says-the-Suburbs-Aren-t-Glamorou s-eclectic-bedroom-new-york. The décor wasn't the best but the setup was awesome definenetly something Alice and I could turn fabulous. I laid straight across my new bed to check out my new cell. There was a million things to do. I decided I wanted to first customize my settings. I gave everyone a special ringtone. For Alice I'd chosen, Brighter than the Sun by Colbie Calliat. For Rosalie, Paparazzi, By Lady Gaga. For my dad I picked one of my favorite songs Quiet Mind by Blue October And Mom got A Thousand years,by Christina Perri, Both relevant to their personalities. Everyone else got something random like Walking on Sunshine or Rocket Man. I made my background a picture of the northern lights Because I'd always wanted to go there more than anything. I sighed at nature's beauty and scrolled through a list of games. Angry birds, overrated in my opinion, Cooking Mama, Crazy Dave, Temple Run, Lil Toot, Blox… the list was endless. I settled down for Temple Run in the end. After 5 minutes I was certain this phone was a miracle. It was so perfect and pretty. Like me… just kidding lol. I couldn't marvel over the exclusiveness of my new phone for long, because I wanted to make a call. I pressed # 7. ( Can you remember who number 7 was?) The phone hadn't rung at all before it picked up.
"Jasper?"
"Renesmee?"
"Yeah I uh was wondering if I could talk to you- if you weren't busy"
"Ah", he sounded reluctant.
"I'm not good with kids"
I breathed through my nose a little irked at my uncle
"Jasper, please! I'm all alone! I don't have anyone to talk to"
There was nothing but silence on the other end. I got up and started pacing.
"You're my uncle, you have to talk to me"
Crickets chirping
"I wonder what Alice would think…."
"Ok!Ok! What do you want to talk about?"
"I dunno" I said heading to the kitchen. I grabbed a piece of chocolate cheesecake from the fridge and a fork and sat at the long rectangular table to eat.
"I just feel sort of lonely you know?"
"Yes", he said in a strained voice.
I smiled and took a big bite of cake."Humans?", I guessed amused.
"An abundance", he confirmed. He sounded desperate for an escape.
I grabbed the cold glass pitcher of orange juice from the center of the table.
"Alice made you go shopping?" I asked searching for a cup in an arm length radius. There wasn't one so I chugged half the pitcher and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. No one else was going to want any anyways.
"Yep", he answered.
I stabbed a huge forkful of cake."Dang". I couldn't have sounded very sympathetic with a mouthful of cake.
"It's okay… She said she'll reward me for my obedience later", he chuckled sneakily.
Ugh. I made a face."I'm eating here"
He laughed. "Sorry".
"How long have you been shopping?"
"4 hours"
"Jeez", I said pitying him while I finished another delicious morsel of cake.
"What has she bought so far?", I asked
"I don't even know… looks like a bunch of girl stuff." I heard him shuffling through hangers and clothes.
"She's got some pink stuff and some sparkly things..", I could practically hear him shrug.
I laughed. His voice sounded especially deep and southern saying such words like 'pink' and 'sparkly'.
"Honey who is that?" Alice's distant voice said.
"It's Renesmee darlin'." His voice thick with southerness.
"Can I talk to her?", Alice asked.
"Nice talking to you", he said before turning the phone over to Alice.
"Hey ness whatcha been doing?"
"I ate some cheesecake and juice"
"How lovely. Listen, me and Jazz are going to the house be there. Bye!" She hung up.
I looked at the phone in disbelief. I sighed, pocketed my phone and zipped through the woods to the house.
Surprise
I walked up to the door but before I could ring the bell, Rosalie clicked to the door in stunning silver high heels and opened the door with a smile.
"I'm so glad your back!", she sang hugging me. When she released me my phone vibrated. I dug it out of my pocket and saw I got a text from Alice. "It's Alice", I told Rosalie as I clicked the icon. Rosalie suddenly looked mad. "She better not…",she muttered glaring at my phone. I opened my inbox and read my first text message:
Oh my God! How adorable!
You're going to love it!
I frowned , highly confused by the text.
"Going to love what?," I murmured staring at my screen.
Rosalie looked happy again." Ok good"
I looked up at her.
"Ness don't bother coming in, you're going straight back out"
I sucked my teeth. Alice had called me over here uber urgently and not only was she not here but I couldn't even go was going on here? I sighed. I was not in the mood for games or surprises.
"Why?"
She just grinned and twisted her body back to the door."Jacob!"
I froze nervously.
"What!", he called.
"Come here, it's time!",
I heard footsteps and Rosalie just stood there calm as ever without a trace of anxiety in her features. "Hurry up now Jacob, we don't have all day.
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming!", He sounded closer now…much closer.
Then there he was. Leather jacket ,tan slacks deep blue button up. I bit my lip and shifted my weight. He looked me up and down and I felt extremely self-conscious.
"Ready to go?"
"R-Ready?" ,I stuttered nervously.
He turned to Rose. "You didn't tell her".
He didn't ask it like a question, it was a statement.
"It's a surprise", she explained to him.
"Right. Whatever, let's go.", he said sounding annoyed by my prescence.
"I should've never come.", I realized aloud.
"What? Don't be silly.", Rosalie said with a wave of her hand.
"Go on Jake, And be nice", she warned.
"When have I ever been anything but nice?", He said sarcastically as he sauntered towards me.
He looked straight into my eyes challengingly and I looked straight into his. I was a lot of things, weird, sometimes self absorbed and mildly selfish but I wasn't a coward…. Most of the time. He walked over to a black Porsche.
"After you", he said mockingly as he unlocked the back door.
I walked up to him grabbed the keys and unlocked the passenger side. I tossed him the keys which he caught looking slightly impressed. I slid in the car and waited for him.
"Oh yeah you are 14 now aren't you." He put the key in the ignition.
"Yup"
He looked me up and down ."Alrighty" He started driving.
"So are you going to tell me where we going"
"I can't",
" Oh right, it's a surprise" I frowned.
He glanced at me and smirked. "Trust me, I'd love nothing more than to ruin your surprise but I kinda like living."
I made a face.
He continued. "I just don't understand why I got stuck chauffeuring you around".
Instead of letting that hurt I decided to let humor have a go. " I guess you're just that lucky.", He chuckled.
He glanced at me, opened his mouth to speak but closed it, looking thoughtful.
I shaded my eyes from the glaring sunlight. It wasn't hot outside the weather was perfect actually it was just one of the rare days in Forks where the sun was out and I wasn't used to that. I shifted in my seat and peered out the window. The area was unfamiliar and I was on edge for the entire car ride. We pulled into a parking lot with lots of cars.
"Close your eyes", he ordered.
For some reason I immediately obeyed.
He drove a bit more. "Ok you can open them now."
When I did I didn't see anything that would give away the surprise. I got out of the car and turned to look at him to see if he'd lead the way. I dug in my purse to find my sunglasses. When I'd retrieved them and put them on. He was looking me up and down again.
"What?", I said self conscious. I should've brushed my hair. Damn. Oh well, I'd pay for it now, with an insult no doubt.
He shrugged ."Your glowing"
I knew it was stupid to be flattered by this considering how my vampire side was solely responsible for my apparent glow. But I couldn't help it I blushed lightly.
"And you look pretty"
I was sure I was hyperventilating now. "Oh thanks", I said feebly.
He smiled and walked up beside me.
I hadn't really paid attention to what I was wearing today. I had on a gray cap over my long wavy red-brown hair, a gray, slouchy, fitted tank top covered in sequins, grey bangles on both of my arms, long, swishy, gray earrings designed like chainmail that hung from my ears, tight, gray short shorts with little buttons on the back and side pockets, Shiny gray sandals and a gray Juicy couture bag.
" I like the shorts", he complimented as he opened the door for me.
"Thanks", I muttered mortified. My face burned.
I heard him chuckle.
I looked around at all the fish tanks and litter boxes. "Is this Petsmart?" , I asked turning to look up at him.
"Nah, It's the zoo behind the scene."
I laughed. "Is this the surprise?", I asked disbelievingly. "A pet?", I started to smile.
Jacob:
It felt good to see her happy. I smiled despite myself."Yep".
She laughed as she walked over to me. "Thank you". She said. Her eyes sparkled beautifully with excitement.
Wait. Stop. Stop there. Why am I thinking about her eyes? She smiled and patted my arm. This whole moment was way too intimate. Cut it off. Shut it down.
"It wasn't my idea", I said harshly.
Back to me:
I smiled, raised my eyebrow and shook my head chuckling.
"Thanks anyway", I said hopping onto the balls of my feet and kissing his warm cheek.
He inhaled deeply and strained against me. He exhaled seeming troubled.
"Come on", I said grabbing his hand."Let's go find a cute yorkie", I said bouncing jauntily.
He let go of my hand. "A dog?", he seemed surprised.
We walked toward a man holding a chocolate lab.
I shrugged. "Guess I'm a dog kinda girl."
He raised his eyebrows.
"Can I help you?", dog man said with a wicked grin as his eyes racked my body appreciatively.
"Um yes" I said uncertainly. This dude was giving me the creeps, the way his eyes kept darting to my breasts was freaking me out.
I turned and looked behind me for Jacob.
He wasn't there.
Damn, I thought starting to panic.
Though I was more than capable of taking this guy out, it was still scary having a grown man look at me this way.
"I-I was looking for a yorkie", I said squinting my eyes at him suspiciously.
My half-vampire instincts could see right through this man. I'd inherited some weak mind reading abilities from my dad so I couldn't hear what he was thinking but I saw images in his mind.
He was imagining me naked.
I forced myself to get a grip as I remembered something my mom had once told me. 'Men like that can sense fear', she'd said. 'They sniff it out of their weak and unsuspecting prey. Then they attack.'
"Never mind, I'll it on my own thank you.", I said trying to avoiding conflict..
The man's eyes gleamed.
His thoughts were purely sexual.
"It's okay baby, I'll show em to ya", he said wrapping his arm tight around my waist He smelled like fresh fish.
I froze terrified. He didn't intend to show me puppies.
I didn't want to react because I didn't want to risk exposing what I was.
He lead me into a room and locked the door.
"You knew I wasn't gonna show you no dogs honey, didn't you?.", he started rubbing my shoulders
"Ness!.Ness?", a voice called.
Jacob.
This had gone far enough.
I couldn't let Jacob run around worried, or risk being raped, exposure be damned.
"Of course I knew.", I said strongly, my voice not breaking in the slightest.
"Why didn't you run?", he whispered. I could feel the doubtful mockery in his voice.
I shuddered in my chair.
"I knew I had to get you alone…", I said as sexily as I could manage. I could hear his heart beat quicker and I could smell the blood going to his crotch.
"And why would you wanna do that?", he panted.
I turned silkily in my chair and gently grabbed his head and pulled it to mine.
"So I could do this…", with closed eyes he smooched up his lips for a kiss.
I made a face that he couldn't see.
I slammed his head against my own granite like skull, Shrek-style.
He crumpled to the floor with a wail. I opened the locked door shaking my head.
"Renesmee!", Jacob called running to me and scooping me up in his arms.
He crushed me into his chest and patted my hair.
I slumped, limply against his warm chest.
It felt too good to worry about my lack of oxygen. He was so strong and warm.
It was amazing.
"I shouldn't have left you"
I patted his back. "S'okay. I was fine." No need to worry him unnessacarily.
"Who is this?", he asked letting me go. I sighed sad that the hug was over.
I gestured to the man spitting curses on the floor.
"It's the guy who I asked about the dogs. He brought me here… he tried to… he tried to touch me…", My voice closed to a whisper as I gently tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. I wrapped my arms protectively around my chest and looked at the floor.
His eyes widened and he started trembling. "He what!", he growled.
"Don't worry about it I'm fine, I assured him.
"No.", was all he said.
The dog man stumbled of the floor and started towards me." Come on girlie, I was just playing! No need to call your boyfriend on me!"
I blushed. " He's not my-"
"Don't talk to her!", Jacob cut in with a roar. "Calm down… Calm down", he scolded himself.
"Don't do this here… Others way a victim. "Oh let's blame me, the dirty old man just cause he trying to get a piece of the same hot ass your trying to get your hands on"
Jacob's face reddened. " Don't talk about her like that!", he spat.
I noticed he wasn't denying these crude words.
" Why not? It's true. Only difference is your all young and buff and capable. And I'm just an old geezer with needs..", he mumbled.
Jacob shook his head disgusted. "I'll have you fired for this"
The man's inaudible mumbling never ceased.
"Oh Excuse me. How dare I get turned on? Sexy, frisky little kitten walks up to me and expect me to stay soft…"
I gasped and blushed down at the floor.
Jacob took one look at me flustered and embarrassed and turned back to the man.
"She's 14, or god's sake!"
The man shrugged. "So? If given the chance, I'd fuck her till she was legal", he said harshly.
Jacob lost it.
He punched the man and I heard something crack.
The force of the blow punched the man threw the man back into the very back of the room.
"Whoa", I murmured.
But Jacob wasn't finished, he charged up to the man and punched him on the nose.
I covered my mouth in horror as I heard another crunch and saw blood dribbling down his face, causing him to curse and groan.
He tried to wipe his nose but Jacob grabbed his arm and snapped the bone, leaving his arm hanging limply.
I gasped from the doorway as I stepped into the room.
"So you like raping people?" , Jacob asked wrapping his hand around his neck.
"I can't fucking breathe!", the man choked through a mouthful of blood.
"That's hardly an answer", Jacob said calmly, tightening his grip.
"Fine!" the man snarled. "This was gonna be my first rape. I'm not a bad guy but she's just so fuckin' beautiful. I have to be inside her. I n-n-need it".
Jacob's eyes went black.
He ruthlessly beat the man before he looked at the shelf above. The man's eyes followed warily.
I saw with horror that the shelf held large fish tanks. I saw an idea in Jacob's eyes.
"Jacob, don't!", I said hoarsely.
He gripped the shelf tightly as and stared into the man's eyes with such intensity that he should've caught fire
"She's. mine.", he snarled slowly before he pulled the shelf, fish tanks and all, on the man.
I screamed.
Jacob turned around shaking his head like he heard someone's cat had died on the 4'o clock news.
"I'm so sorry you had to see that." He hugged me and kissed my hair.
"Are you ok?", he asked
"Fine"
He let me go. " So yorkies huh?", he said as we walked out of the room.
"They're so cute! Have you seen one before?"
"Nope"
"Well now's your chance, look", I pointed to a large rectangular wire crate.
We walked over to the pup's who whined and jumped up when Jacob came near.
I picked up beautiful, young, spunky one. Her hair blonde, Some of it turned pink or orange in certain lights.
I held it to my chest. It's hair tickled my face.
I giggled as it barked gleefully.
"Jacob! Jacob come here!", I giggled.
He walked over to me. What's up?"
Jacob:
Her laugh was so sweet and precious. I just wanted to hold her.
I'll admit, I wanted her in my arms in a sexual way, but it wasn't like she was a child she was 14 and I was 18.
We were looking at a 4 year difference.
Big deal.
Back to me:
He looked very distant.
He was staring at me.
"This is it. This is the one. Isn't she cute?", I giggled.
"Adorable", he said walking over to me.
"Do you want to hold her?"
"Her?"
"Yeah. Says so on the tag", I said fumbling with the tags for further information.
She was only 2 weeks old.
"You should get one for yourself", I suggested.
"What a yorkie?", he said disbelievingly.
I rolled my eyes while ruffling the dog's fur. "Nah, a Klondike bar. Duh a yorkie"
He shook his head. "No way, that's a chick's pet"
I laughed. "No it isn't"
"It is", he disagreed stubbornly.
I laughed.
"It is cute though" he chuckled.
We stepped inside and all the dog's ran and humped his leg.
Even my dog barked and struggled to get free.
I held her tighter. "Don't squirm", I pleaded.
She turned her small head and barked sharply at me.
" . Here Jacob" I handed him the dog.
"No –", he started. But too late. The pup was already in his arms.
It pressed it's paws against his cheek and barked with it's tongue flapping out.
It then licked him I laughed.
"Ok, ew, gross"., he wiped his face and handed my dog back.
I chuckled and took it.
"Maybe you don't like this dog but you should get one."
He nodded "
Okay. A big strong dog…" [cue musical montage…]
Montage
We walked around searching for a suitable dog for him. He was very specific.
We looked at some Great Danes,
He shook his head. "Whoa. Not that big."
Some Chihuahua's that were obnoxiously yippy.
"Definitely not", we both agreed in sync.
We walked a bit more and came across two golden retrievers by the names Suzy and Cheetah.
They weren't that bad. Just a little mean.
So we walked on.
We were searching for the perfect dog.
Finally he found a husky dog with freaky blue eyes.
It was love at first sight.
He'd got on his knees and started ruffling his fur and petting him and all of that.
I smiled, happy he'd found true love. I chuckled to myself.
End Montage
We were walking through the rest of Petsmart searching for equipment.
"What first?", I asked balancing my puppy on my left arm.
"We need to get collars and ID tags.", he informed me.
We walked up to a desk with a tubby redhead behind it.
"Can I help you dears?', she said with a thick southern accent.
"Yes. We need two collars and ID tags small and large"
She shuffled to a back room and came back with a box full of collars.
"Pick your choice",
I hurriedly seized an awesome pink collar with silver rhinestones.
"Aw man! That's the one I wanted", Jacob said sarcastically as he chose a plain , leather, deep blue collar.
I laughed at his sarcasm but the woman at the desk frowned making me uncomfortable.
"Alrighty",she said putting the box under the desk.
"Did you pick your names?"
I shrugged."That was decided before I was born", I chuckled at my stupid joke.
The air was tense.
"What?", Jacob laughed reluctantly.
I grinned. Nothing better than shock value.
The woman frowned at both of us and then addressed me.
"You need to pick your name dear"
I frowned at her impatience.
Jacob glanced at me then put his hand over hers.
"Give her a second", he murmured smoothly.
He winked removing his hand.
She flushed and stuttered.
"O-of Cour-rse. A-Anything…. For you…"
He flashed her an appreciative smirk.
She gasped and tripped over a box.
Jacob gently took my hand.
"Need some help babe?"
I might've died just then.
I was too busy trying not to hyperventilate.
Babe? Babe?... Whoa. I needed to sit down
He said it so naturally.
"Uh…No?", I'd forgotten what was said.
I had to keep my cool. The last thing I needed was my hands getting all clammy and gross.
"No", I broke my stare away from his face.
I looked at the ground so I could for a sentence.
"Um…Trixie. Wait! No!... not Trixie…uh ", I said frantically trying to come up with a name.
I felt his hand snake up my back and on to my shoulder where he massaged.
"It's okay, take your time", he murmured.
I did my best not to shudder.
But it was hard. I could feel his breath on my neck and it shot hot chills down my back.
I can't think! Aag!
Come up with a name stupid!
But I can't think!
Fine. Stand there and be an idiot.
Who the fuck are you talking to?
You, bitch.
Me and you 'bout to fight.
Bring it on.
Stop it!, I scolded myself.
I couldn't argue with myself.
That was just weird, no matter how much of a rude- ass bitch the other part of me was being.
It was still weird. Not to mention I didn't have time for that anyways.
While I was mind battling, Jacob's ID tag had already been made and he was clipping it to his collar.
Jacob smiled contendly.
"I'm gonna call you Ralph"
"How about Cocoa?", I asked the woman.
"Cocoa's a name for a brown dog", she sniffed haughtily.
I scoffed. "How about Buttercup?"
"Buttercup's a Lab name"
I narrowed my eyes. Damn, she was right.
"Jake?"
He turned to me. "Yes?"
"I'll take that help now", I said sheepishly.
He smiled."Well I thought Trixie was alright"
I smiled. That settled it. Trixie it was then.
"Trixie", I said certainly.
The woman grabbed a plain silver tag , slid it under a scanner, tapped on a computer and a blue light shone over the tag and Presto!
My tag. She handed it to me.
I took it and fastened it to my dog's collar.
"Oh! Trixie!", I cooed hugging her.
She barked at nothing in particular then turned and barked at me happily.
"She likes you", Jacob noted.
I smiled relieved I was starting to worry.
The woman at the counter looked at me.
"So I guess you're all done here."
"Yeah we're all done here."
We turned away from the counter and headed down the leash aisle.
"It's hot in here", I said tugging at my shirt collar".
"Of course it smoking it up in here with your hot body", he flashed me a dazzling smile.
I couldn't tell if he meant it or not.
I blushed.
"I'm 14", I stuttered abashed as I picked a matching leash for Trixie's collar.
Jacob shrugged and put his arm casually around me.
"Face it, you're a babe"
I blushed.
"I bet you have all the boys all over you."
I pushed him gently "Jake…", I said embarrassed.
He wrapped his arm around my waist "Don't worry"
"I'll protect you", he whispered, his teeth grazed my ear causing me to shiver.
He chuckled.
By this point we'd already got our dog bowls, treats and food.
We made our rounds picking up toys, grooming supplies, dog beds, clothes and any other thing they could possibly need.
After paying for everything,we loaded up the car and headed home.
