CHAPTER 10
First Date
Nessie's POV
"Any time Alice. Anytime!" Lottie laughed. I laughed too. This meant I got off a little!
"Don't think for a second Renesmee that you are getting away with this. You are so like your mother it's annoying."
I looked at Alice. "But you have a new vict- volunteer," I quickly corrected myself, "go and pick on Lottie."
"I plan on it madam. But you have a date tonight, and one that you will need to get ready for. It is after three, so we need to get a move on."
"I need to go and get my stuff from Lottie's."
"Fine, but you run right back." Alice gracefully turned and skipped towards Jasper, who was smiling at me a bit too smugly for my liking. I stuck my tongue out at him.
I looked at Lottie who smiled at me. "What are you smiling for?" I grumbled.
She sniggered. "Nothing. Come on, get me home missy."
We left the house and was about to get into Lottie's car when she stopped and giggled. She poked me in the side and indicated for a pen and paper. I looked about the garage and found some scrap paper and a pen on the shelf by Rose's tools. Lottie took it from me and leaned on the bonnet of her car.
I have a plan.
I touched her arm. What?
How strong is the roof of your house?
Why?
Just asking. Lottie had an evil look on her face.
Tell me!
No! You need to tell me first!
It is reinforced. Esme had to reinforce the entire house after Emmett and Rosalie broke a few.
Broke a few?
They like it rough. I shuddered at the thought.
Lottie snorted and tried not to laugh too loudly. Once she calmed down she wrote again.
I think it's time Emmett learned a lesson.
She scrumpled up the paper and put it in her pocket. She got in the car and reversed it out. She had it facing the driveway. She got out but left the engine running. I mouthed at her. "What are you doing?"
She put her finger to her lips and smiled. She walked over to Emmett's jeep and put out her hands. Her hair started moving again. The jeep suddenly lifted off the floor and Lottie walked backwards.
"What ar-"
"Shush!"
Lottie walked backwards and stopped right in front of a tree with the jeep following her. Once it was clear of the garage she raised it up and it quickly shot up onto the highest part of the house. This part was quite flat and she rested Emmett's jeep on that. You could hear a slight groan as it settled.
"Come on!" Lottie ran towards her car and got in. I ran to the passenger side and she sped off as I shut the door.
She suddenly stopped, pulled out her phone and took a picture, then sped off again. She threw the phone at me and started laughing. I looked at the picture and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Emmett is so going to kill you."
"I know. But well worth it don't you think?"
"Can I bluetooth it over and send it to him?"
"I'm surprised he hasn't come out yet and of course you can. He needs to find out sometime."
"You are very sneaky." I bluetoothed it over and I sent a quick text to Dad and told him to video Emmett for the next five minutes. I waited a few seconds so that Dad could start recording and I then got the picture back up and hit 'send' to Emmett. "Just you wait for the reaction. I have asked Dad to catch it on camera."
Lottie drove fast back to her house. I could hear a loud roar of frustration, although Lottie would not have been able to hear it. "Emmett's seen it."
"How do you know?"
"Cos I heard him."
"Nice." Lottie chuckled. "That'll teach him from being mean to me."
My phone suddenly rang and it was Dad. I felt like an accomplice now and reluctantly answered my mobile. "Hello?"
All I heard was a collective jumble of laughing on the other end of the line. I whispered to Lottie after breathing a sigh of relief. "They are all laughing."
"Cool."
"Dad?"
"What made Lottie think of that?"
"Who says it was Lottie?" I answered nonchalantly.
"Come off it Nessie. The look on Emmett's face was priceless. Good thinking on asking me to do that. I will be able to play it to him when he annoys me."
"What is he doing now?"
"Being restrained by Carlisle and Jasper from going after Lottie."
"Lottie can look after herself." I looked at her and she grinned at me."
"I know; that's why he is being restrained. He will only hurt himself."
I snorted again. "Cool."
"TELL HER TO COME BACK AND GET IT DOWN!"
"Would that be Emmett's dulcet tones I hear?" asked Lottie.
We arrived at the drive and Lottie was driving up to the house. Dad spoke again.
"Is she coming back to get it down?" Dad could barely suppress his laughter. I touched Lottie's arm and relayed the message.
"Nope. I am far too tired, and it may take a few days to get my strength back," she said rather dramatically, "and besides. Somebody needs to learn a valuable lesson in NOT BEING MEAN!"
I had to laugh and I could hear Dad and the others laughing with him. "That's what I thought Nessie. We shall see you soon honey." Dad hung up.
I looked at Lottie who had pulled up at the house. "When are you getting it down?"
"I'll go round tomorrow; let him stew for a bit."
I nodded and we were still giggling as we got into the house. "You know. I think we shall have to do more stuff like that Lottie."
"I agree. But only on Emmett. I like the others too much."
"Agreed. We shall have to figure out what to do next."
"Leave that with me. Can't get him to miss his food, as I would not want to be there to see that.
"No, Dad wouldn't allow it in case you became his food."
Lottie shuddered at that thought. "Ok, on a lighter note. You get yourself away and get on that date with Jacob. I need to go and freshen up for a walk with Keith." Lottie pulled me into a hug which I returned. I truly felt comfortable with this girl. "You have a good night Nessie. And I want details. Try and get off school tomorrow!"
We broke our hug. "I'll try. I'll say to Dad that you need moral support." I smiled.
"Like he will believe that but hey; give it a go."
"I could always go to school and always bunk off."
"Your Dad would find out. At least be a little honest with him!"
I chuckled. "True. Ok, I will see you tomorrow in some way. I will text you either way to let you know what I am doing."
Lottie nodded. She picked up my bag and handed it to me. I took it and made my way out the door and waved.
I dashed off into the undergrowth and made my way home. I was there in less than two minutes. I suddenly stopped right in front of Emmett who was staring at his jeep that was still sitting on top of the house.
"YOU!"
I put my hands up in surrender, "It wasn't me!"
"BUT YOU WERE THERE. YOU COULD HAVE STOPPED HER!"
"Why would I do that?" I ran into the house to be protected by Dad who was standing next to Mom in the kitchen. Esme was cooking up a storm and putting food into a hamper.
Emmett came stomping back into the house. "You get her back here and get this put right," he demanded.
I stood next to Dad. "No can do Emmett. She has her date with a wolf, and she had a headache."
"Get her back here."
"No."
"Now."
"No, go and get her yourself if you want your jeep that bad," I crossed my arms in defiance, "but bearing in mind what Lottie did to you this afternoon, I would think twice."
I could see Emmett pale ever so slightly. I continued, "you scared Uncle Emmett?"
"No."
"Then why are you flinching?"
"I'm not."
"You are. Dad?"
Dad smirked. "He is not so keen. He is reliving the memory of being split apart."
I smirked with him and looked back at Emmett. "In the words of Lottie. You are a pussy."
Emmett harrumphed and stormed off upstairs. Dad chuckled. "He didn't like that. He is thinking revenge."
"He won't go through with it. Not if he knows what is good for him!"
"I know; he probably won't. I think that for the first time he is scared to go for a fight. She is very powerful you know."
I put my arm round his waist for a cuddle. "I know. But it was funny though."
"You shouldn't be encouraging her Nessie," Mom scolded.
"She doesn't need any encouragement Mom. She does that fine on her own. The jeep thing; that was her idea because Emmett was trying to make her sick with the running."
I heard some footsteps on the roof. "What is he doing?" asked Mom.
"He is trying to get the jeep down without damaging it," chuckled Dad. "Not happening though."
I giggled, "I have to see this for myself."
"Oh no you don't young lady. We have some preening to do," Alice pealed as she walked into the kitchen.
"Can't I just go as I am?" I groaned.
"No you will not. Come on. Although you don't need much doing, I still like perfection." Alice grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs. She sat me down at her vanity unit. She cleansed, toned and moisturised my face. She put my hair up into a simple French chignon, leaving a few curls hanging. She whirled me round in the chair I was in, and started doing my makeup.
"You don't need foundation Nessie, your skin is perfect."
She started putting eye shadow on. I noticed she picked up the purple quad palate that had different shades. I felt her lightly working on both eyelids. She then put on black mascara and brushed my eyelashes. She didn't need to curl my eyelashes as they curled on their own.
She put a light pink blusher on my cheekbones, and then put a simple rose pink lip gloss on my lips.
"Right, come with me."
I hopped off the stool and followed Alice into her huge closet; it was the size of her room. she had a little section for me with some of my clothes hanging. She picked out a blue floaty dress that had dark blue sequins underneath the bust area. The bust area was a light grey material and in a v shape. There were short floaty sleeves that were a blue material. Underneath the embellishment was also a dark blue and the material went out into an a line.
"Ok Nessie put this on please."
"I am not wearing a dress." I crossed my arms again.
"You are and you will. Jacob is putting in the effort and so will you."
I pursed my lips. "No."
"I'll force you into it anyway, so stop fighting me."
I gave up; I walked behind the screen Alice had and took off my clothes. She handed me clean underwear and a black bra that pushed everything up. I slipped the dress over my head and stepped out for Alice to zip me up.
"Now was that so hard?"
"Yes." I muttered.
"Put these on." She threw a pair of black pointed four inch heeled shoes. They were similar to a court shoe. They had the same dark blue embellishment on the outside of the shoe. I slipped them on. Alice put a simple gold chain round my neck that held a small diamond. She also placed a bracelet on my left wrist that was the same as the necklace.
"There; you are perfection," Alice smiled, "not that you needed much work anyway," she said more to herself. She whirled me round to face her six foot mirror and I was looking at a stunning woman in the reflection. I realised that was me. I looked really more sophisticated in a dress!
"Thanks Alice, you have really outdone yourself this time."
"I know. I work wonders. You do need to start appreciating my talent you know," said Alice.
I skipped over to her and pulled her into a hug, she squeezed me back. "I meant that Alice. Thank you."
There was a knock at the front door. The butterflies in my stomach were back and playing havoc. I touched Alice's arm. That's Jacob!
"I know, you better go and answer it then!"
I ran down the stairs and made my way over to the front door. I clocked everyone sitting in the living room watching me. I felt myself go red.
I opened the door and Jacob was standing there.
He was hot.
He was very hot.
I heard Dad groan slightly. That was tough, he will need to try and stay out of my head.
"Hello Jacob."
"Hello Nessie," smiled Jacob showing me his white teeth. He was wearing very smart black tailored suit with a black shirt and silk blue tie underneath. He looked really handsome. I could see he was looking me up and down to. "You ready to go?"
"What time will you have her back?" I jumped as Dad spoke directly behind me. "She has school tomorrow."
"I'm not going."
"You are."
"No, I am not. Lottie isn't going with the whole Blake thing and Gemma is going to bring us back some schoolwork."
"And when did you get permission?"
"Edward, leave her be. She has had a very busy week, she will catch up easily, let her have this," Mom said softly.
I looked over to her and smiled, not smugly, "what time would you like me back Dad."
"I am not happy about this Renesmee, about cutting school, but if you are not going then I do expect you to catch up and tomorrow only," Dad scolded. I enveloped him in a hug which he reciprocated.
"I'll have her back for midnight. Is that ok?" asked Jacob. I could feel Dad shake his head.
I pulled away from Dad and he stroked my cheek.
I looked back at Mom, who handed me my black clutch bag that had my phone and some money in it.
I looked at everyone and they were smiling at Jacob and me. I could see they thought this was cute and Esme was practically bouncing up and down.
I turned back towards Jacob and walked out the front door and shut it behind me. I took a collective breath as I could hear them talk about how sweet this all was. I thought I was going to go even redder.
"Not at all embarrassing," I said to Jacob. "Could that have been any worse?"
"Nope."
"Where are we going then?" I asked Jacob as he took my hand. That familiar tingle came back with full force when he took it. I missed that tingle.
"You will see."
Jacob walked towards the Vanquish and opened the door for me. "You got Dad's car?" I asked in amazement.
"He offered it to me, I certainly wasn't going to say no to that," he chuckled. I got into the car and Jacob got in the driver's side and we drove off. I wasn't sure where we were going but I knew we were going on the same road that we drove to go to the reservation.
I decided I would try something new. Push the boundaries a little. I leaned over slightly towards Jacob and I placed my left hand onto his thigh and rested it there. I could feel his thigh muscle tense, so I gave it a squeeze.
"Nessie! What are you doing?"
"Resting my hand." I stared out through the windscreen.
I felt Jacob relax a little and he even out his right hand over mine to rest it, he interlocked our fingers.
We continued to drive for ten minutes when he slowed down and eventually stopped and parked in lay by that looked over La Push beach. The drop down was very high. He got out the car and motioned to me to wait in the car. He went into the boot for something and towards the cliff edge. He spread something onto the ground.
He continued to set things up when I seen him light a candle that was in a holder. I got out the car to see what he was doing and he stood up and jogged over to me. He stopped a few feet away from me.
"I was hoping to keep this simple tonight. I know you may have wanted a fancy restaurant, but I thought we would have definite privacy here."
I looked at what he set up. There was a dark green tartan blanket spread on the ground. He had laid a tall candle in the centre (which was lit), and there were various foods laid out from a hamper that was there, along with two wine glasses and a bottle of wine next to them.
"Esme made up the hamper for us. We have a starter, main course and a dessert. I thought that we could have dinner under the stars."
I looked at him in awe. This was perfect. Something so simple yet so nice. He had gone to a lot of effort, although he didn't make the food, but Jacob was never the best at that. He even parked the car in such a way that we would get privacy from any traffic passing. The night was even warm and there were stars showing through the sky, as it was getting darker.
"I thought that maybe later I would take you to a club in Port Angeles. Thought you might like to dance."
I smiled at Jacob and walked over to him to close the distance. I put my arms around his neck and I noticed he was shaking, not from wanting to phase but from nervousness. I stood up onto my tip toes. He leaned in towards me and I him. I suddenly brushed my lips against his soft ones and then pulled back a little. I could feel that tingling sensation all over my body now but especially in my lips.
Jacob had his eyes closed but his lips had formed a tiny smile. This just made me weak at the knees and I suddenly plummeted my lips onto his and kissed him with such passion. He kissed me back and I was heaven. He tasted so good, like strawberries. His lips were so soft and I was buzzing from this. I raked my hands through his hair and I felt his arms pull me closer to him so that there was no space. His hands caressed me from the top of my back to down my spine, although they never ventured any further.
Our lips moulded and moved together like one and I felt the top of his lip with my tongue. He stopped for less than a second but carried on. I continued to dart at his lips and then he sucked on my bottom lip with his.
I moaned in pleasure.
Jacob was now kissing me with more passion as I moaned. His hands roaming up and down my back. The tingling became an electric current travelling up and down my body, especially towards my centre.
Then all too soon Jacob pulled away.
I looked into his eyes and I could see passion and burning behind them. His lips were slightly swollen as were mine as they were still tingling.
"Nessie…..that was something else."
I was taken aback for a second. "Was it wrong?"
"No!" Jacob shook his head, "I have never experienced anything like that before. It was amazing." He looked all doe-eyed.
I smiled and bit my bottom lip. "Are you still tingling?"
"Yes! It was like and electric current going all the way through me," he touched his lips. "It's still there."
Jacob smiled like a Cheshire cat. He still held me close and now smelt my hair.
"You do smell nice."
"Thanks."
Jacob cupped my face with his rather large hands. "You are a very special Renesmee. You have no idea what that was like for me."
"I think I might. Like I said before, I had been having these feelings since my last growth spurt. I changed and seen you in a different light Jacob."
He pulled me into a crushing hug then let me go. "Can I kiss you again?" he whispered.
I looked up into his shiny eyes and nodded my head a fraction. He leaned forward and brushed his lips onto mine. I felt myself go weak again and I had to grasp Jacob round his neck to support myself. He pulled me closer and his hands were roaming up and down my back again.
We continued to kiss like that for five minutes when we both stopped for air. We were both breathing heavily and staring into each other's eyes.
"Well, that was certainly something," commented Jacob.
"I know," I said breathlessly.
"Come on," Jacob changed the subject. "We had better get something into us if we are going to be going to that club later."
"Are you really taking me to a club?"
"Yes," said Jacob as we walked over to the blanket and sat down. "You have never been to anything like this and I thought you would like to let your hair down, so to speak."
"And are you going to be dancing with me?"
"Only if you want me to," Jacob cringed.
"Of course I do!"
"Then that's settled. Would you like a glass of non alcoholic wine madam?"
"Non-alcoholic?"
"Yep. I'm afraid that Edward wouldn't allow me to let you have one glass of wine. So non-alcoholic it is."
I raised my glass to allow him to pour it. He poured one for himself and he raised his glass and we touched them together.
"I don't know really what to say," admitted Jacob.
"Nor do I! So why don't we eat. What have you got for me?"
"Esme made us little party snacks so that we can have a mixture of everything. There are egg mayonnaise, ham and cheese sandwiches, vole-au-vents; some with cheese savoury and prawn marie rose. There were party snacks that included Chinese and Indian foods. There were the pigs in blankets that I liked at Lottie's and sausage rolls.
Jacob handed me a plate with a napkin on it. "Help yourself Nessie."
So I did just that. I realised I was really hungry and I could smell the food. We sat and ate in silence. The first time I had really felt nervous being here with Jacob, as it was just me and Jacob. No family interfering, no pack interfering. Just us. I looked at Jacob who was wolfing down his food. He tried to smile at me with a full mouth.
"Slow down Jacob, it's not going anywhere!"
Jacob swallowed what was in his mouth. "I know! But I am hungry. Do you like it then?" he said indicated the late evening picnic.
"I do," I nodded. "I am enjoying every second Jacob." I smiled.
We sat and ate for a while in silence looking out onto the ocean. The waves were crashing below us and felt very therapeutic.
I moved over to where Jacob was sitting and sat right next to him, he curled his arm round me and I snuggled into him. We continued to eat.
Jacob reached into the hamper again and pulled out strawberries and a tub of fresh pouring cream. He placed them into a bowl for each of us and poured the cream over both. He handed me a spoon and the bowl and smiled.
"Dig in Ness."
"Plan to! They look really nice."
We finished eating and we sat and just looked out onto the view. It was really the first time I was lost for words with Jacob. Maybe it is because it was all new to me.
"Hey Ness?"
"Yes?"
"Do you remember Sam disappearing the other day as he had an important chat with Emily?"
"I do."
"She is pregnant!"
I turned to look Jacob. "Really? When did she find out?"
"A few days ago. They went for their scan yesterday and guess what else?" Jacob was now beaming.
"What?" I asked in curiosity.
"They are having twins!"
"Oh my god! That is terrific news! I didn't even know they were trying."
"They weren't. They wanted to wait and enjoy married life first, but accidents happen."
"I know, look at me!" And we both laughed at the inside joke. I was well aware of the circumstances of my conception. Emmett took great satisfaction in telling me one day. Dad was ready for killing him.
"That is wonderful news Jacob. I take it they are telling everyone?"
"They are now, seeing as she is three months gone already."
"What?"
"Yep. She didn't even get morning sickness and was still getting regular light periods," Jacob winced at that part. "It was when she realised she was putting on weight. I think it just clicked for her. She did a test and the rest is as we know it. Sam was in shock at first but she was due for a scan about 4pm yesterday so he didn't get that much time to digest it. Once he heard the two little heartbeats he was a goner."
"That is really nice news actually. Don't get me wrong, this week as been one hell of a week, not one I want to repeat again, apart from this of course." Jacob smiled at the last statement. "But that is just something nice that has come out of what could have potentially have been a disaster yesterday."
"I know, but it turned out ok. We now have an extra member added to our pack, and you have a freaky friend. Can't say that's too bad."
"I know. I was thinking of Garrett and how he was trying to kill that freaky friend of mine."
"I know. I think Keith would have torn him up before Garrett got to her. She has some power in her though."
"I know. I think with practice she can only get better."
"I think so too. Hey shall we pack up and get to Port Angeles?"
I nodded and we both started packing up the plates. The leftover food we dumped in a bin nearby and Jacob put everything into the boot of the car. He opened the passenger side door for me and I got in.
Jacob slid into the drivers side and took off in the direction of Port Angeles. "Have you had a good time tonight Nessie?"
"I have, although you have been very quiet."
"Sorry about that. I was a bit nervous, and Nessie; that kiss was amazing."
"There is more where that came from."
Jacob blushed. "Now, now."
"You're blushing!"
"Am not."
"You are. You don't need to be embarrassed Jacob. I'm new to this too. I just don't want the conversation to be stilted that's all."
"Ok then, what do you want to talk about?"
"Your birthday will be coming up soon – what would you like?"
"Surprise me."
"That's not a hint."
"I like the presents that you make Jacob. The effort you put in and the work it takes to do them makes them more meaningful to me. Like the plush wolf you gave me and the bracelet."
"Ok. I think I have something in mind."
"What?"
"Now that would be telling. Wouldn't be a surprise if I told you!"
"But you asked me before."
"And now I have thought of something. There is plenty of time; it's a month away yet."
"Don't be mean, tell me," I demanded.
"Nope."
I crossed my arms in a huff. Jacob reached over to take my hand and I let him take it.
"Aw come on Ness. No taking the huff on our first date."
I had to purse my lips to stop me from smiling. I sat and stared straight out the windscreen.
"Come on."
"Ow!" Jacob poked me in the ribs.
"Cheer up Ness."
I smiled at Jacob and he grinned back at me showing me his pearly whites. "Are you ready to go dancing then?" I asked.
"Of course, although I must warn you that I only have one move and that is the Jake shuffle."
I giggled. "Jake shuffle?"
"Yep. I move forwards, then backwards, then forwards, then backwards; you get the idea."
It was my turn to poke Jacob in the ribs. "Ow!"
I looked out onto the road we were driving on and noticed that we were entering Port Angeles already. Jacob was driving very fast.
We drove for a further ten minutes until he pulled up right outside a club that had a long queue of people lined up waiting to get in.
"You would think that these people go to work on a Monday, but there is a band here tonight that only play here once every three months. You have to really book in advance as it gets really busy," said Jacob.
I nodded. Jacob turned the ignition off and jumped out the door and was round to my side within seconds. He opened the door for me and I helped me out the car (not that I needed help). I started walking towards the end of the queue when Jacob grabbed my hand.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"To the end of the queue." There was that tingling feeling again when he held my hand. I loved that feeling.
"Naw. I pulled some strings, well, Edward pulled some strings." He pulled me towards the two bouncers that were at the front door. It was then I noticed the red rope barrier cordoning the people who were queuing off to one side, where there was another red rope barrier that was hooked onto a large pole in front of the bouncers.
We walked up to the bouncers and you could see them get an eyeful of Jacob. They were looking him up and down wondering if he was going to pose a threat.
"Name," asked the bouncer on the right. He had a bald head and was wearing a long black coat.
"Jacob Black and Renesmee Cullen," Jacob spoke in a commanding voice.
The bouncer on the left, who was also bald and wearing a long black jacket, checked his clip board for our names.
"They are on the list," he said.
The bouncer on the right unclipped the rope and indicated with a nod that we were to go through. I could hear the people in the queue moaning.
We walked through the glass doors, Jacob still holding my hand, and through the short corridor. There was a door at the end with a little hatch to the right. Jacob stopped there and pushed some money through the hatch and the girl behind the hatch handed him two tickets wordlessly. We walked through the large door and we were submerged in noise.
My eyes were wide in astonishment. I had never imagined what a place like this looked like, and it was very nice. Clean too. There was a large bar to the left of this large room where there were numerous people being served. There was a banister all the way round the dance floor which had steps leading onto it in three different directions. There was a stage on the right side of the room, where a band was playing. The dance floor was crowded with people dancing. I noticed the walls were covered in large pictures of famous musical people.
"What do you think?" Asked Jacob, who spoke normally knowing I would be able to hear him through the noise.
"I love it Jacob."
"Would you like a drink; non alcoholic of course?"
"That would be nice. I'll go and grab a table."
Jacob let go of my hand and walked towards the bar, and I walked round along the banister to the right where the stage was. I spotted a small table in the corner and made a beeline for it. I sat down and waited for Jacob.
"Hey there sugar, is this seat taken?"
I looked at the man who was talking to me. He looked to be about six foot tall, short brown spiky hair with a large nose and ears. He had a bottle in his hand and was leaning on the table for support.
"I am afraid it is."
"Well, I think you look lonely, hows about a dance?" slurred the man.
"No thanks, I am waiting for my boyfriend," my heart skipped a beat when I said that.
The man suddenly swung out the chair and sat in it. He leaned forward and smiled and I had to lean back as his breath stank.
"I could be your boyfriend. Come on, one dance?"
"I said no." I was getting irritated now.
He suddenly put his sweaty hand onto my arm and tried to pull me out the chair. Tried being the operative word as he crashed to the floor. He didn't manage to move me at all and in the process was making an idiot of himself.
"Hey! You are stronger than you look!"
"I told you, I don't want to dance with you. And to be honest, I never would."
The man stood up and swayed slightly and leaned over to me.
"No one refuses me you little bitch." He put his hand on my arm again and tried to move me. I sat perfectly still. It didn't even hurt.
"You can stop making an idiot of yourself now. No-one in their right mind would want to be in your presence."
He was still trying to get me up, and people were starting to stare. "That's not what the ladies say. I am a stud."
"Who told you that, your mother or a girl with a white stick and a dog with a bad sense of smell?" A voice boomed from behind him. Jacob stood there with drinks in each hand watching what was happening. "Can you remove your hand from my girlfriend please before I move it for you."
The man stood up and he took a step back once he clocked Jacob. Jacob put the drinks down on the table and looked at me. "Was he hassling you?"
"Yes, he wouldn't take no for an answer, he then called me a bitch."
"I did not," he slurred
Jacob suddenly had his hands around the guys collar and dragged him to the exit, he disappeared for a moment then came back to where I was sitting.
"What did you do?"
"I threw him out. The bouncers didn't even bat an eyelid. You should have called for me Nessie, and I should not have left you alone for a moment."
"Jacob! I can look after myself thank you very much. And you had to get drinks, you can leave me for a second and I knew you were coming back. You can't keep your eye on me all the time."
"Not the point. He was hassling you."
"And he was drunk. Like I said, I can look after myself."
"I should have beaten him to a bloody pulp," Jacob said darkly.
"No you would not, you are way better than that Jacob Black. You wouldn't want to get your hands dirty anyway. Now we are on a date, let's not spoil it," I put my hand over his clenched fist. "I want to dance."
Jacob relaxed his hand and smiled at me. "Sorry Ness, he riled me and he was touching you, and no one is allowed to do that in my book. Not that he could have compared to me you know," Jacob puffed out his chest. "But I didn't like it."
"I know. And if it was some girl doing that to you, I would be the same."
Jacob fiddled with the beer mat on the table. "Should not've left you alone," he mumbled.
I slapped his hand. "Don't be ridiculous."
"I know, but I know Edward will have something to say."
"Don't you be fussing about Dad. Come on Jacob, you look like you are at a funeral when we are meant to be on our first date, and this band is pretty good you know."
"Ok," smiled Jacob. He picked up his drink and swigged it in one go. He had bought me a coke and I drank it gracefully unlike Jacob.
"So, what does Keith think about Lottie then?"
"I didn't think you were into gossip Nessie?"
"I'm not, I am making conversation, and I wanted to know."
Jacob smiled again, and it sent a tingle all the way down. "He really likes her. Although he doesn't know her very well, hopefully after tonight that changes. He can see himself settling here. I think he would feel obliged to, now that he knows he is part of another family. He said he has nothing really back home to keep him there. His Mom would want him to be happy."
"Any mother would want the best for their son or daughter I suppose."
"Its all new to him, and Seth and Embry. Really funny actually hearing them when we are phased. Bearing in mind that they are typical young men; conversation is not all they are thinking about."
"Are you like that about me?"
Jacob looked down at his glass and tried not to smile. "Maybe."
"I think you are." Jacob said nothing. "It is nice to know that you think of me that way, that you find me…attractive."
Jacob looked back up. "I find you more than attractive Nessie. I feel discombobulated when I am not with you."
"Discombobulated?"
"Emmett put a word of the day toilet paper in my bathroom," he chuckled.
I laughed. "Emmett. What is he like."
"I know. I had seen the Jeep. Took my all to stop from laughing. Who was that?"
"Take a guess?"
"Lottie! Is she going to get it back down?"
"Not tonight she isn't. You should see Emmett, he was in two minds of whether he was going to go after her."
"What do you mean?"
I still had my hand on his, so I showed him what had happened in the field.
Jacob took a second to focus. "Wow."
"I know. A bit scary isn't it?"
"Powerful."
"I know, I don't think Lottie realises her full potential either, she needs some confidence in that area. She would be amazing."
"Funny how she can do that though, the whole moving objects with the mind thing." Jacob whirled his free hand around the side of his head.
"Like Carlisle said, it could be a mutation, or part of her brain injury. Something is for certain, there is no way she could get rid of it."
"Pretty freaky though"
"Nah. I think it's cool."
"Would explain why Emmett was scared about going round. I could see why. There are going to have to be some jokes made at his expense I think."
"And you will be making them."
"Sure will."
"So, I noticed the change of subject there Mr Black."
Jacob looked back down at his glass again. "I know. I find you very attractive Ness. More than that; you make my insides do all sorts of things. It is a very weird feeling. I never had that with Bella."
I smirked at that. I was glad about that last statement. "Good. You do funny things to me too Jacob."
There was that silence again. It was a nice one, and one that didn't need to be filled. We sat and watched the band play a few songs. They started up a slow song and I took my opportunity.
"Hey Jacob, you promised me some dancing."
"I did, didn't I," he groaned.
I pulled his hand and dragged him towards the dance floor, I could hear him moan again.
We made our way to the centre were all the other couples were slow dancing, one couple were taking it too far and were grinding each other, I had to stifle a giggle.
"Get a room!" Jacob shouted, and the couple stopped grinding but continued to dance.
Jacob suddenly whirled my hand and I twirled round him and landed into his chest, but not hard. I rested my left hand on his chest and put my right round his waist. He put his left hand round my waist, just above my bottom and the other was on my face stroking it lightly. My right cheek was against his hard warm chest and his head resting on top of my head. We swayed in time to the music. I closed my eyes and breathed in his woodsy scent.
We danced like that for a long time. The band continued to play slow songs, and we continued to dance.
My heart was hammering away, and I could hear his do the same. I pulled back to look at him, and he had a goofy grin on his face which made me giggle.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You."
"What did I do?"
"It was the expression on your face."
"There is nothing wrong with that," he admitted.
I looked into his smouldering eyes and I reached up to brush his lips with mine. We kissed gently at first and I felt a current go from my lips all the way down to my toes. He suddenly pressed his lips hard against mine with passion and I reciprocated. His tongue licked my top lip and I shuddered at the feeling; it was so nice. I felt him tremble too.
He pulled away all too soon and we gazed into each other's eyes. He suddenly plummeted back onto my lips and grabbed me closer, I ran my hands through his satiny hair.
I groaned.
He pressed himself against me.
I pressed myself against him.
I could feel the tingling coursing through me, causing pleasure I didn't know possible. All this from a kiss? It felt damn good!
I could feel something else against me, by his groin. He pulled away from me wide eyed.
"OH! I'm so sorry Nessie!"
I grabbed his hands and pulled him back to me. "Why are you apologising?"
"Well…um…"
"I know what happens Jacob, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Now come back here," I demanded. I realised I was more than ok with his 'reaction'.
I pulled him back and we continued kissing and swaying to the music. Time had no meaning anymore. Our hands explored each other starting with me putting my hands on his gorgeous bottom. He stopped kissing me for a second when this happened, and then he continued.
He then put his hands on my bum and gave each cheek a squeeze. I couldn't help but giggle and so did he.
"What are you doing Jacob?"
"Nothing."
"Having fun?" I giggled again.
"Of course. Best date ever."
"Good. Now kiss me again."
His hand roamed up and down my back and was taking in every contour all the while he was kissing me. Every time he touched me I felt the tingle intensify, even when he left that area. He ran his hands through my hair, taking it down (not that I cared at that point) and it was such a nice feeling.
We carried on kissing. It was a wonderful feeling and I didn't want it to stop.
Someone tapped us on the shoulders. We separated and looked at the person who rudely interrupted us. We then looked round and noticed that the band were packing up and the lights were on; when did that happen?
"Sorry, excuse me. We are shutting up in a minute and you two are the only ones left."
Jacob pulled me closer. "What's the time?"
"It's 12.30."
"Oh crap," he turned to me. "I promised I would have you back at twelve."
"Dad would have phoned by now if he was worried, you know this." The man who interrupted us walked away towards the bar.
Jacob grabbed my hand and veered me towards the exit. We left the club, the bouncers giving Jacob a nod as he left, and walked towards the car.
There was a crowd staring at it, taking pictures.
"Excuse me please," said Jacob
"Is this yours?" asked a blonde with long straggly hair and a skirt that constituted as a belt. She was also wearing over the knee boots and a small glittery vest top that showed too much.
"Sure is." Jacob didn't even look at her.
"Fancy taking me for a spin? She giggled and looked round hopefully towards her friends.
"Not really. Sorry, got to get back."
"Please." The blonde put her hand on Jacob's bicep and I felt something flare up inside me; how dare she do that! I growled.
Jacob coughed to cover up the sound. "If you don't mind, I am taking my girlfriend home."
The blonde looked at me and sneered. "You don't need that. You can have me."
Her friends cackled again and looked at me with disgust. I was starting to feel a bit self conscious with them staring at me. I hissed at the blonde, and she looked at me funny
Jacob looked at me and smiled. He unlocked the car and opened the door a fraction. He turned back towards the blonde. "No offense, but I am so not attracted to the hooker look. Now if you don't mind, we are going home."
The blonde looked at Jacob in shock at his insult. "I am not dressed like a hooker! You don't know what you are missing!"
I got into the passenger seat, and Jacob got into the driver's side. The blonde put her hand on the door, not allowing Jacob to shut it.
"Come on, just one ride."
"I said no! I have had enough of your pathetic attempts to get into this car. If you do not remove your hand, I will remove it for you," growled Jacob.
The blonde took Jacob's tone seriously this time and removed her hand slowly and looking at Jacob with a frightened look on her face.
Jacob started the engine and sped off leaving a trail of dust in his wake. He looked extremely pissed. I put my hand on his thigh. "You ok?"
"No, I wish people would take the fucking hint. That I am not interested."
I looked up at him. "Do you get that a lot?"
Jacob blushed. "Sometimes, but my heart has always been promised to you."
I squeezed his leg. "Thank you. But you don't have to be mad."
"Well, it's not the first time she has hit on me."
"Oh."
"It's not like that. I am totally not interested. Only interested in you."
I smiled. "I know. Just not nice seeing people do that when it is very obvious that you are with someone."
"You growled by the way. It was very funny!"
"Well, she wouldn't go away."
"You do need to be a little more discreet."
"You have a cheek!"
"I know."
We bantered like that all the way back home. I noticed Jacob was driving over 120 at times, not that it bothered me, but I think he was bothered about getting me home late. We reached the house in record time, and the jeep was still on the roof. Jacob parked the car and we both got out looking up at it.
"He didn't manage to get it down then," said Jacob.
"Nope. He is going to be pissed." Jacob took my hand and walked me to the front door. We reached the last step and we stopped at the awkward moment. He leaned in to kiss me when the front door opened.
"Where have you been young lady?" boomed Emmett.
"None of your business and you are interrupting." I said through gritted teeth.
"Don't mind me then."
"Ok." And I leaned forward and grabbed Jacob by his collar and pulled him in for a kiss. Jacob, surprised at first, then put his arms round me and pulled me closer.
"Aw I don't need to see that, I didn't need to see that!" crowed Emmett covering his eyes.
We pulled away as I could feel all eyes on us. We stepped into the house and walked over to Mom and Dad, who were both smiling.
"Dad, why are you smiling?" Jacob let go of me and drifted towards the kitchen where Esme was making a sandwich.
"I am happy that you are happy. Not so keen on seeing the dog kiss you but I'd rather it was him than some other pri – guy," smiled Dad.
"In other words, Mom threatened you?"
"Something like that, yeah. But I am happy for you Nessie. I know what happened tonight and I am ok."
I saw the others drifted away into the living room. Carlisle, Alice and Rosalie were out, I presumed they were hunting. Jasper was sitting serenely on one of the chairs. He must have been picking up on our good moods.
I leaned forward and whispered in Dad's ear. "Could you try and stay out of our heads. There is going to be a time when you are not going to like what you hear."
"I am not liking your mind at the moment. You are quite intent on rushing things, when you should take your time sweetie," he said stroking my hair.
"I am an adult Dad."
"I respect that honey. And Jacob has been quite the gentleman. He has enforced some ground rules that I was actually quite impressed with. But just take your time; you have all the time in the world." He pulled me in for a cuddle.
I cuddled him back. I know it was hard for him, seeing me like this, but he was getting used to it. I could feel him smile into my hair at my thought.
"And anything that annoys Emmett is a good thing by me," whispered Dad.
I giggled. "He isn't having a good day, is he?"
"Not really. Did you have a good time tonight?"
"I did Dad. It was the best. At first it was a bit awkward but things progressed and it was nice. He makes me go all funny," I said dreamily. I touched his arm to show him what I meant about the tingling. I didn't show him me kissing Jacob as that would have been weird. I showed him us holding hands.
He shook himself as if he had a shiver running up and down his spine. "That's a little intense. Do you always get that?"
"Where ever he touched me. Even when holding my hand."
Dad smiled. "It's good that you feel that way. Like I said; please take your time."
"I will."
"Now. I take it your plans to skip school are still on?"
"Yeah, I will just play the traumatised card, you know with what happened to Lottie on Friday. I can't believe Friday was only two days away. A lot has happened since then."
"Tell me about it. Turned out alright in the end. I like Charlotte, she is a nice kid. Special; I just hope that the Volturi never find out about her." Dad's face went dark at the thought.
"I know. The wolves would protect her from them. So would we." I tried to stifle a yawn.
"You need your bed madam. It's getting really late."
"I know. I want to say good bye."
"Ok, well night night sweetie. And I will see you in the morning." He still had his arm round my waist and kissed the top of my head.
I smiled and pulled away towards Jacob who was unceremoniously shovelling in a large sandwich.
"Attractive," I commented.
Jacob tried to say something but it came out all muffled.
"Swallowing is helpful."
Jacob took a large swig of water and took a big gulp. "I said I know, and after getting acclimatised to the vamp stink, the food here is pretty good. No offense Esme."
"None taken," she smiled.
I yawned again. "Are you heading to bed?" Asked Jacob.
I nodded and smiled. Jacob grabbed the other half of the sandwich and put the entire thing into his mouth. I made a face at him.
"What?" He muffled.
I shook my head at him. I slapped him with the back of my hand against his stomach. "Come on you pig. Walk me home."
He took my hand again and we left out the back door. We walked towards the cottage without saying anything, as nothing really needed to be said. We were quite happy and content with just each other. Was it always meant to be like this? I liked it.
We reached the cottage sooner than I would have liked and we let ourselves in. We both entered my bedroom and both sat on the bed.
"Thank you Jacob, for taking me out on our first date."
"I wish it would have been better for you, but I don't have much-"
I cut him off there. "Jacob, I don't care about that. It was spending time with you that mattered. We could have sat on the beach all night and I would have loved it. You need to get over this money issue."
"I know, but its hard when it is something I never really had."
"But that's going to change. You start the garage tomorrow, the flyers are all out advertising it, and the boys are at college tomorrow. I bet you are going to have a busy week."
"When am I going to find time to patrol?"
"You delegate. That's why you are the Alpha. There is enough of you to make up some sort of shift pattern. Actually, come to think of it, I'll get Alice to make one up for you; she is good at things like that."
Jacob thought for a second and took my hand. "That is not a bad idea actually. It would mean it would be fair on everyone."
"Do you have any major plans for your garage?"
"Well, I was thinking, if it does get busy, asking Emily if she would like to answer the phones and keep the books. She is good at that sort of thing."
"I think that's a good idea."
"I was also thinking if and a really big if, that the business does really well, I could expand. There is room around the side to do work outside when conditions are favourable. I was thinking of taking down part of the fencing and making an area where that can happen."
I nodded in agreement. "And if you made a profit, you could make a building extension.
"Only if it is busy though. With Dowling's on the other side of Forks I will have competition."
"They are ridiculously overpriced Jacob. Your prices are half that. I guarantee that you will at least have five customers tomorrow."
"You think?"
"I know so." I reached over to him and I kiss him on the lips. I went to pull back and he pulled me in closer and we fell back on the bed with me suddenly on top of Jacob.
We continued kissing and the tingle was intensifying and it was becoming like a drug to me; I was getting addicted.
I could feel him grow hard against my groin, and I could feel myself getting hotter down below as well. Something was building.
Jacob's hands were all over my back, in my hair, on my bum like he couldn't get enough of me. My hands were in his hair, touching his face with desperation. I didn't want this to stop.
All too soon Jacob pulled away and I suddenly needed to breath. I felt light headed. Jacob looked that way too.
"Are you ok?" I smiled at him.
"I am," he grinned goofily. "But I think that you should get ready for bed. And I need a very cold shower."
I could feel his hardness against me, and I knew he was frustrated, as was I. I knew it was far too soon for that. We were only boyfriend/girlfriend (if you could call what we have that, as it was so much more) for just over twenty four hours. I didn't want to put him in that position either.
I unstraddled Jacob and I rested my head just under his left shoulder and put my arms round his well muscled chest. He put his arms around me and we both lay there in contentment.
"I could get used to this hun," whispered Jacob.
"So could I," I agreed.
"You are a very good kisser."
"So are you."
I could feel myself getting sleepy listening to his heartbeat. Jacob carried on talking.
"Why do you call me Jacob and not Jake?"
"I don't know. Mom always calls you Jake, like her pet name for you, your best friends; you call her Bells. I think you of as my Jacob."
"Yours?"
"Yep, you're mine. I've always thought of you that way."
"Really?"
"Ever since I first set eyes on you. I know that is the imprinting thing, and I think I have always known deep down that you and I were always going to be travelling down the same path."
"Nessie. I am so lucky. Quil has a good ten years to wait for Claire. I only had to wait five and it has been worth every minute."
I smiled into his shoulder. He was very sweet. "It is nice hearing things like that Jacob. Gives me the fuzzies."
He squeezed me.
We lay there for a while and I was on the verge of sleep when Jacob gently nudged me.
"Nessie, you need to get into your bed. Come on, wake up."
"Don't want to."
Jacob sat up take me with him. "Ugh."
"I know. I make a good pillow, but I don't want to push it with Bella and Edward."
He was right. "I know. Ok. I'm up." I stood up and staggered to the bathroom.
I closed the door and started by removing the make up from my face. I noticed I was all flushed, not from the heat.
I cleansed, toned and moisturised my face. Alice left me some expensive face stuff on the ledge of the mirror above the sink. I brushed my teeth, then changed into my winnie the pooh pajamas. I quickly ran a brush through my hair.
I opened the bedroom door to a very loud snore. Jacob was flat out on my bed snoring away, legs were akimbo on the bed and his arms splayed out. He looked very cute, and I didn't want to disturb him. I was wide awake now. I was tempted to snuggle in next to Jacob but didn't want to give Dad the wrong idea.
Jacob had ruffled up my duvet up the far wall, He never needed it, so I took it and dragged it through into the living room where there was a nice comfy sofa to sleep on. I pulled a pillow and got myself comfortable.
Next thing I knew it was morning.
There was someone in front of me. I could feel Mom's presence.
"Hey sweetie." I looked up and seen Mom smiling at me. "Why are you on the couch?"
"Jacob fell asleep," I mumbled.
"Oh."
"I didn't want you guys to think bad of us if slept in the same bed as him, even though we are only sleeping. Things are different now. He used to tuck me in, and stay until I fell asleep, but he can't really do that now."
Mom stroked my hair out my eyes. "I see."
"I didn't want to wake him. He has been busy all this week and today is a big day for him, with his garage opening today and all."
Mom smiled. "Did you sleep well?"
"I did. I had a really good night," I said dreamily. I sat up and pulled the covers round both of us. I know Mom didn't need to get under, but I was having some Mom and daughter time.
"Edward told me about your date. He told me about your tingling feeling too. I get that with Edward, although I think it is different for you."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, your Dad has a way of dazzling me – still does actually. And it made me feel all nice and tingly. Even took my breath away when I was human."
"I feel like that with Jacob. I can't believe my feelings for him changed so quickly. I am still trying to get my head round it."
"It may take time or none at all. I knew I was in love with your father almost instantly. There was no going back at all." She took my hand and stroked it. "You are growing Nessie and I want you to make the most of it. Every second counts."
I leaned on Mom's shoulder as she put her arms around me.
"Love you Mom."
"Love you too honey."
I sat there as Mom started to stroke my hair again. "It must be nice to have your thoughts to yourself," I mumbled.
"What do you mean?"
"Well. And I know Dad can't help it. But I know there is going to be a time when I am thinking about Jacob, in all manner of ways and he isn't going to like it. There is nothing I can do about that."
"You don't have to worry about that sweetie."
"Why?"
"Because your Father is going to do his best to keep your thoughts out when you start thinking about him. He respects that. You are now a young lady and he finally understands that. Just give him some time. You are his one and only baby girl."
"Ok."
"Just don't be making us grandparents anytime soon."
"Oh Mom!" We both looked at each other then giggled. "You don't worry about that Mom."
