Chapter 9 – The Date
SPOV
Don't Seth. Don't look at her. Don't touch her. Damn she's hot. Fuck, Jacob is going to kill me! Just stay focused.
Think of something gross. I'm dancing with Leah… I'm dancing with Leah… Urgh! It's not working.
I can't believe I agreed to help "teach" her to grind. I've never done it before but you'd think she was a trained dancer. The way she moves…My god!
There is no way I'm going to be able to not think about this. Fuck it... If Jacob is going to kill me for dirty dancing with this gorgeous girl, I may as well make the most of it.
At least I'm going to die a very happy man!
NPOV
Dancing with Seth was so much fun. I've known Seth my whole life but had never really spent any time alone with him until that night. It was a little awkward at first because Seth seemed to be a bit scared but once we got going we both ended up laughing and that relaxed us both. Grinding was great fun and Seth is a great dancer. I was a bit shocked to feel him get hard against me, but I guess that's the point of this kind of dancing. It was quite flattering really.
We danced around for about an hour, the collapsed on Jacobs old sofa to catch our breath. Seth fetched me a coke from the fridge and a beer for himself and we spent the next 45 minutes just chatting about everything. I even asked Seth about Leah liking me, and he confirmed that it's true.
When Jacob finally came back we got up to head home, but Jake stopped Seth and said "Hey Seth, you're chaperoning the dance that Nessie's going to, aren't you?" Seth looked confused for a second but then agreed that he would. I hadn't ever thought about that as a possibility. I knew that he was the janitor of my school, but he usually didn't get involved in school life that much.
"Seth, that's great! I'm so happy that you'll be there to see me use my new skills. You'll have to promise to dance with me at least once." I demanded, but Seth pointed out that the teachers might frown upon him fraternizing with the students. He must have noticed my disappointment though because he promised that we could dance again some other time when he wouldn't lose his job.
When Jacob asked Seth how our dance lesson was, Seth was really sweet and told him that I was a natural and I was going to break Lukas's heart. I decided I really did like Seth and hoped we could become better friends.
After that Jake and I went back into his house to grab some food and chat to Billy for a while. Jacob had told him about my upcoming date and he wanted to know all about Lukas. I tried to answer as best I could but it was hard since I had only met him less than 24 hours ago, but Jake looked really bored so I changed the subject to my thoughts on what I might wear, even though I knew Belly was only pretending to be interested.
"Come on Nessie, its late. I should take you home" Jacob said later, and pulled me up off the sofa. I said goodbye to Billy and we walked out the door. Jacob was still holding my hand as we began to walk into the woods, but it seemed natural enough so I left it there. I couldn't help but keep talking about my date. Now that Jacob was ok about my date and I knew how to dance properly all I had to worry about was my dress, but with an aunt like Alice I doubt I'll get any say in what I wear.
It took quite a while to get home as we walked at an almost human pace, but I got really tired, so Jacob carried me the rest of the way. Once home he took me to my room and laid my on my bed, covering me with my comforter and kissing me lightly on my head. "Love you my Nessie" he said quietly, almost to himself.
"Love you too" I said and snuggled down into my blankets. I listened to Jacob as he made his way out to the living room. I could just make out his conversation with my parents. They seemed to be more worried about him than me. Mum was asking him if he was ok, and said that she was around to talk to if he needed her.
What's going on with Jake? I wondered. Still listening I heard him laughing to them about our dance lesson, and then me asking Seth to teach me how to grind. Daddy let out a loud growl, but then seemed to find it funny as well, saying that Seth was very lucky he saved his life once. Seth saved Daddy? I've never heard that story before, I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
...
Friday (Date Night!)
I was so excited about my date. I knew that most girls my age had been on at least a few dates by now, but most girls my age were actually my age, not almost 6. At school Lukas sat with me in all of our classes together and even at lunch. He seemed just as excited as I was and even asked me what color I was wearing so he could match his outfit.
After school, my Mum, Aunty Alice and Aunty Rose picked me up and we raced back to the house to prepare. Rose would be doing my make-up, Alice would be doing my hair and Mum would be there for moral support. She really believed that I hated this stuff as much as she did!
Before I knew it, Jacob arrived and started going over things with my dad like what questions he needed to ask Lukas. Jacob explained to Daddy that he had asked Seth to volunteer as a chaperone so that they would have someone on the inside to keep an eye on me. Daddy was really impressed that Jacob had thought of that. It annoyed me that they trusted me so little, but I was still relieved to know that Seth would be there for me if I needed to freak out or something.
When I was finally done, Mum held my hand when I turned to check myself out in the mirror. I had to admit I looked really good. Alice had found the most perfect little deep purple cocktail dress that came down to just above my knees and showed just a hint of cleavage, with a wide belt around my middle to make me look all curvy and sparkly silver strappy pumps. My makeup was very light but really accentuated my eyes, and Rose had managed to make my hair look golden with big loose curls each perfectly in place. I couldn't help myself and did another little twirl to check myself out from the back too.
We finally made our way downstairs to find all the guys waiting for us. Daddy, Grandpa and my uncles all gave me light hugs, making sure they didn't crumple my dress. Jacob just stood there and stared at me. "Jake? What do you think?" I asked nervously.
"Yeah Jake… what do you think?" Alice and Rose both giggled.
He shot them a dirty look then came to hug me again. His hug wasn't light though, he hugged me like he didn't want to let me go. "Jake, my date wont go quite as well as I'd hoped if I pass out from lack of oxygen before I get there" I teased him and he let me go, but still kept hold of my hands.
"You look incredible Ness" he said. "This Lukas better damn well appreciate you and treat you with respect or…"
"Don't worry Jacob, I'll be fine.' I promised just as the doorbell rang.
"Nessie, get ready to make your entrance" Jacob told me as he went to answer the door. The rest of my family disappeared up the stairs. I knew they all intended to spy on us so they could see what he looked like and hear his answers to Jacob, but we'd agreed that he wouldn't see our family yet as it may raise too many questions. I heard Jasper and Emmett arguing over who would get to drive and could only assume they would be following us there. I went to sit on the sofa and tried to relax.
"Yes?" I heard Jacob ask in a rough voice as he opened the door. Great job Jacob, I thought to myself, way to make a guy feel welcome.
"Hi, I'm Lukas. I've come to take Nessie to the dance. Is she ready?" Lukas answered him confidently.
"Come in and sit down" Jacob said, then called out completely unnecessarily "Nessie… Lukas is here."
I stood slowly and turned to see them walk into the room. I was flattered to see that Lukas's eyes lit up when he saw me. He looked really nice and was wearing dark trousers with a light purple shirt and a darker purple tie that almost matched my dress perfectly. He had his hair gelled into spikes and I could smell his cologne, Armani Black Code I think.
"Hey Renesmee, you look hot!" he said and I heard several growls from around the house, but also Alice congratulating herself.
"Thanks Lukas, you look nice too" I replied, then remembered to introduce Jacob. "This is Jacob. He's my very best friend in the world" I explained. "My parents couldn't be here to meet you, but they trust Jacobs judgment so they agreed that he could meet you on their behalf."
"Ok, nice to meet you man" Lukas said, holding out his hand for Jacob to shake. Jacob just stood there, glaring at him rudely.
"Jacob!" I shouted, breaking him from his daze at last.
"Sorry, um… it's nice to meet you too. Take a seat please" Jacob asked, remembering his manners. Or so I thought.
"So what do you want with our Renesmee?" he asked aggressively.
"Er, I, um, just to take her to the dance I guess" Lukas stammered, shooting me a pleading look.
"Jacob behave or we are leaving now!" I insisted and he just huffed.
"Fine. Where have you moved here from Lukas?" he started, then proceeded to hammer him with questions for the next half hour. Why did your parents move to Forks? What do they do for a living? What do you want to be when you grow up? What was the name of your previous school? What are your grades like? What is your religion? Do you go to church? How many girlfriends have you had in the past? Why did those relationships end? Have you ever been arrested? What college do you want to go to and what will you study?
The final question which was the one that made me crack was "What are you're intentions towards Renesmee?"
"Enough Jacob!" I shouted, pulling Lukas up off the sofa. "We are going to go to the dance now before it finishes. OK? Good. Good bye Jacob" I snapped as a practically dragged a shocked Lukas out the door.
We got in his car as fast as we could and started speeding down the road towards the school. As we drove I looked into the wing mirror to see Uncle Emmett's Jeep very obviously following us down the road. At least none of them will be able to get into the dance.
JPOV
Nessie and Lukas had just walked out the door when I called to Edward "So what was he thinking? Do we get to kill him?"
Edward and Bella came quickly down the stairs. He looked ready to chase them, but Bella had a tight grip on his arm. "He was thinking..." Edward began in a low growl.
Bella cut him off and continued "He was thinking the same thoughts that any normal teenage boy thinks about a girl he is about to take out on a date. Especially a girl as beautiful as Renesmee." She was rolling her eyes at us like we were just ridiculous.
"Nah. No way is this happening. I'm going to get her" I started towards the door, but didn't get far.
"JACOB EPHRIAM BLACK YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW BEFORE I GET REALLY ANGRY" she shouted, and in a flash Alice and Rosalie were in front of me guarding the door.
"But Bells, you cant let her go out with this guy if he's thinking about her like that!" I shouted at the same time that Edward was shouting almost the same thing.
"You two are just going to have to deal with this, Im sorry" Bella was standing her ground. "I know its hard, but you cant decide that just because he was thinking about how sexy she looked tonight that he will do anything inappropriate. If you go running after her and drag her away from her first date ever she will be hurt and embarrassed and will never forgive you. She is a smart girl, she knows how to take care of herself. Im not asking you to trust him, but you have to trust her."
I still wasn't happy and from the look on Edward's face, if it were anyone other than Bella standing in our way they would have been run down, but he knew he couldn't go against her wishes. "Come on Jake" he said, still glaring at her. "Lets go kill some aliens" and stalked off to the xbox.
I stood staring at her for a few more seconds before I caved in and joined him.
NPOV
The dance was being held in the school cafeteria, but it looked amazing. They had hung silver and blue streamers and balloons everywhere and created an amazing under the sea theme. I know it may sound a bit tacky, but it's my first dance so I loved it.
Lukas found us some seats near some of the friends he has made this week and went to get us some drinks. I saw Seth standing not far away smiling at me and waved him over.
"Hey Nessie" he said happily, looking at my dress. "You look amazing! I mean you always look amazing but tonight… Alice has outdone herself!"
"Thanks so much Seth" I said, a little embarrassed by his compliments. "Thanks again for the dance lessons, I feel heaps better about dancing in public now."
"No problem Nessie, anytime. It was my pleasure I promise" he said cheekily, then looked at someone just behind me. I turned to see Lukas had returned and was glaring at Seth.
"Can we help you, Janitor?" Lukas said rudely.
"Lukas this is my friend Seth. He's from Jacob's... tribe" I explained, but Lukas just looked at me shocked and asked "You are friends with the janitor?"
I was about to tell him off for his rudeness, but Seth just excused himself and walked away. Before I could say anything, Lukas grabbed my arm and dragged me to the dancefloor. "Come on, I want to show off my date." I didn't know what he meant by that and decided not to ruin our night by arguing. Seth would understand.
Lukas span me around the dance floor for a few songs and I was really enjoying dancing with him. He wasn't as good as Seth but he was very confident. When a slow song came on he pulled me into his body and wrapped his arms around me. It was fine and then suddenly his hands slid down my back to rest on my bottom. Uncomfortable, I pulled them back up to my back, but Lukas just told me to relax and slid them back down.
I thought maybe I was being a bit childish so just left him be. After a couple of minutes one of his friends, Robbie I think, came over and whispered something in his ear but I couldn't hear over the music. They both laughed and high fived before his friend walked away. Something really was different about Lukas. He was a lot more confident and a lot less caring than before. I couldn't let it ruin my first date though. I decided that I would just ignore it for tonight and not accept another date from him.
A started looking around for Seth and saw him near the restrooms, so excused myself. I rushed over to Seth and put on a huge smile. He smiled back and gave me a quick hug.
"How's it going Nessie? Are you having a dream first date?" He asked.
"It's ok I guess. I'm so sorry for how rude Lukas was to you earlier Seth" I apologized. "You really didn't deserve that."
"Sure Nessie, no problem. I know that you're not like that and some people are just snobs." He reassured me. "I don't mind. I like my job. Who cares what some student thinks of me?"
"Good Seth because I don't care what anybody else thinks of you either. You're my friend" I told him, earning myself a big cuddle.
"Aw, thanks Nessie" Seth said, then stiffened slightly, then I could smell Lukas behind me.
"Nessie?" he asked. "He names you after the Loch Ness Monster? That is charming Janitor" he said rudely again.
"Lukas, don't be rude to my friend. You're such a snob" I shouted at him.
"Don't make a scene in front of the whole school, Nessie." He said, and then led me away from Seth again. "Let's go outside and talk about it."
I followed him out of the cafeteria, mouthing another apology to Seth, and we made our way down the halls in silence. Eventually we stopped at an empty classroom.
"Renesmee, can we talk about what happened please?" He asked me, looking like the nice boy from class again. "I'm sorry if you think I was rude to your friend but I just don't think its appropriate that you hang out with the school janitor at a dance. I am your date. How do you think that makes me look?"
I hadn't really thought that my behavior might make him look bad. I didn't think it would, but then I'm not really human and sometimes that makes me socially awkward. "I'm sorry Lukas" I said, hoping to save what was left of our night. I really didn't want to have to call home to be picked up because Lukas ditched me. "I guess I didn't really think about how it might effect you. He's just my friend and I, I'm sorry. I'll just stay with you for the rest of the night" I promised.
"Thank you Renesmee" he said and pulled me to him for a hug. "Should we dance here?" he asked, even though we could only hear the bass thrumming.
We started to sway side to side, and again his hands made their way down to my behind. "Lukas…" I started to protest, but he just told me to relax. Then he leaned down and kissed me on my mouth.
OMG! My first kiss! My head was racing. I didn't know if I wanted him to be my first kiss since I wasn't really sure that I wanted to ever see him again, but I thought Its too late now. He's already kissing me. I may as well try to enjoy it.
Then suddenly things changed. One hand squeezed my butt, while the other travelled up my side aiming right at my… "Lukas no. Stop"
"Come on Renesmee" he crooned at me, "Don't pretend like you don't want me. The way you were grinding yourself on my dick out there, I know what girls like you need."
"Lukas, I don't know what you think I need, but it is definitely not to be felt up in a classroom" I growled.
"Don't worry, I'm planning to do a lot more than just feel you up" he laughed, like it was a great joke and that since he is so funny I'm going to change my mind.
He reached out for me again and started to kiss me gently again, with his hands safely on my shoulders. I know that I should stop him, but maybe I'm in shock. Surely this isn't right though. Then he starts to put downward pressure on my shoulders and I pull away from him confused.
"How about it Renesmee?" he asked. I was beginning to realise that I did not understand boys at all, and asked him what he was talking about. "Don't play dumb. If you're not going to fuck me then the least you can do is suck me off and relieve some of the tension you caused with all your slutty dancing earlier."
I DON'T THINK SO!
I was suddenly filled with rage. It took me by surprise as I had so very rarely felt any anger at all, and this feeling inside me made me want to lash out. I wanted to hurt him. I wanted to kill him. I grabbed his hand and twisted it away from me, probably using more of my strength than I should have. In a flash he was bent over the teachers desk, his arm twisted so far up his back that it looked as if it would snap.
"What the fuck Renesmee? Are you some kind of prude or something?" he demanded, trying to escape from the grip I had on him.
"I did not give you permission to kiss me and I most certainly did NOT give you permission to touch my… to touch me!" I shouted. "How dare you ask me to..." As I looked down at him, I felt a red mist descend over my vision and realised that my vampire instincts had taken over and what I wanted to do more than anything was to drain this asshole dry. I was so frightened by this feeling that I had to close my eyes and have a few deep breaths, trying to regain some control. Then all of a sudden Seth came hurtling through the door.
"Nessie! Are you alright?" he asked in a panic and looked close to phasing. His panic was just the distraction I needed to snap out of the blood lust. Also to attack a human in front of a werewolf would surely mean my death as well, no matter how friendly I was with him.
"Stay calm Seth, I'm fine" I assured him, then suddenly Lukas had used the distraction to free himself and he spun around trying to hit me in my face. Before I knew it, Seth phased and charged towards us.
Oh crap… this was bad!
More Seth POV coming soon!
Please review and let me know what you think.
I was a but torn that I let Lukas push her around, but then from my memories of being that age (as foggy as they are to me now) most boys were horny little assholes after only one thing, and I knew lots of girls who got treated like crap, so I just went with it. And Nessie fought back in the end so its all good!
