CHAPTER 10 ~ BOWLING
Jacob P.O.V
It was finally the day I could get my plaster off. It had been bugging me for weeks, it started to get itchy and it didn't help when it was hot.
I went to the Cullen's house and went into the doc's office. Nessie came with me. Carlisle took the plaster off of my arm, and I felt free.
"Your arm looks like it's fully healed. Just be a bit careful, maybe don't phase for one or two days." Carlisle told me.
"Ok doc, thanks." I held Nessie's hand and we walked down the stairs. "Hey, what are you doing today?" I asked her.
"Nothing." She said.
"Well, Embry and Emma have been wanting to go on a double – date with us for ages. Emma's always wanted to go bowling, and now that I can use this arm again, I was thinking we could go."
"Bowling? Jake, I've never been." She said, her cheeks going red. I chuckled. I guess I could see this coming.
"Don't worry, I can teach you!" I told her.
"Ok, I'll be right back then! You call Embry and tell him we'll meet him soon." She ran upstairs. I got my phone out and dialled Embry's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Embry, its Jake."
"Hey Jake! What's up?"
"I was thinking we could finally go on that double date that you and Emma have been wanting to go on. I suggested bowling? Emma's mentioned it a few times."
"Yeah that sounds great! Emma's here, I'll ask her now." I could hear him talking to Emma in the background. "Yeah, we'll come along. We'll meet you there soon?"
"Yeah. Cool, I'll see you there." I hung up the phone just as Nessie came back in some jeans and a nice top. Then we drove to the bowling alley. Embry and Emma were already waiting for us inside.
"Emma!" Nessie ran up to her and hugged her.
"Hey Jacob." Embry came and hi – fived me.
"Hey Embry. Nessie's really excited, it looks like Emma is too." I said, overhearing Emma say she thinks she's better than Embry.
"Are you doubting my mad skills?" Embry said as we walked over to Emma and Nessie. Embry gave Ness a hug and I gave Emma a hug. We booked a lane and we hired our shoes.
"Ok, so how do I do this?" Nessie asked me when we got to our lane.
"Well, grab a ball." I pointed to all of the bowling balls on the rack. She picked the lightest purple one. "Now put your fingers in these holes." I showed her with my own ball, which was the heaviest one. It wasn't heavy for me, but Nessie probably would have trouble holding it. "The aim of the game is basically to knock all of those pins down. You get two shots per round. If you get them all down in one go you get a strike, which is worth the most points. If you knock them down in two goes you get a spare."
'Ok, I think I get it." She threw the ball and didn't get any of the pins down. I couldn't help but laugh. "Was that good?" She asked.
"No. That thing the ball went in, on the sides, it's called a gutter. You're not supposed to get the ball in there."
"Oh. Let me try again." She picked up another ball. She swung her arm back to throw it and she accidently let it go a bit too early. It almost hit Embry, but luckily he caught it, or else it could've hurt someone.
"Embry! I'm so sorry!" She went to see if he was ok.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" He handed her the ball. She went to throw it again and it went in the gutter again.
"You'll get the hang of it." I picked up a ball and threw it; I got a strike on my first go. I used to go bowling with my sisters all of the time when I was little. I was a pro.
"I bet you 10 dollars I'll win." Embry said to Emma as he walked up to the lane.
"You're on." She said. Embry threw it and got a spare. When it was Emma's turn she also got a spare. Nessie got better and better as she played. Emma and Embry had the same score as each other throughout the whole game.
It was the last round. Nessie walked up to the lane.
"Good luck!" I said. She threw the ball, and got a strike! We all cheered. I picked her up and spun her around.
"I knew you could do it!" I said. I gave her a kiss.
I had my go next. I got another strike. Then it was Embry's turn. He got a nine.
"Come on, beat that!" He said to Emma as she walked up.
"All I have to do is get a strike or a spare, and I'll beat you. This will be a piece of cake!" She said. She threw the ball. She didn't get any down on he first go. She threw it a second time. She knocked all of the pins down except for one. The last one wobbled a bit, and we all thought it was going to fall down, but it never did.
"You guys drew!" I laughed.
"It looks like I'm just as good as you." Emma told Embry as she gave him a kiss.
We then went out for dinner and we talked for a while. Then I took Nessie home.
"Thanks for today. Bowling is fun! Even though I suck at it!" She told me in the car.
"Don't be too hard on yourself; it was your first time. Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"I wanna take you somewhere. Bring your bathers ok?"
"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow." I gave her a quick kiss and then she went inside.
