Chapter 9 Shopping and A Date

Melissa's POV

Cole came back out after signing out. I did the same. We walked out went to the car. Cole broke the silence

"You were good up there and thanks."

"Thanks for that" I replied.

"For listening to me blab" he said.

"Oh, no problem" I said.

"I heard that you have a date with Jake tomorrow huh?

"Yeah I do" I said while blushing

"Don't worry about it, you will have fun"

"Thanks, again"

After talking and driving some more we arrived at my house. I got out of the car and thanked him again for the ride. He nodded his head and drove off.

I open the door and realized the only people here was Chris and Max. Max was on the cell phone talking to Claire while Chris was on his talking to Leah. I passed them on my way to the kitchen and grabbed a sandwich before heading upstairs. I ate my sandwich and got ready for bed. After getting ready for bed, I picked out my outfit for my date tomorrow night. Then I got into bed and went to sleep.

The next morning I heard rustling coming from the kitchen so I went to check it out. As I was coming down the stairs I heard laughing and someone throwing on some things. So I carefully came from around the corner and saw Chris and Max having some type flour fight.

"What are you idiots doing messing up the kitchen" I screamed.

"Sorry sis, both said laughing"

I pushed both out of the kitchen and cleaned up the mess. After the mess was clean I started fixing breakfast for everyone. Pancakes, bacon, eggs and toast was what I prepared. I called everyone to breakfast, Mom and Dad came down, while Max and Chris came from the living room. Dad had something to say.

"Your date is tonight, with what's his name?"

"Dad his name is Jake, please remember it tonight."

"I'm not making any promises he said while continued to eat. Everyone finished eating and I cleared the table off and did the dishes. My phone rang just as I finished drying the dishes. It was Angela telling me that Kim, Emily and her are on their way to get me for the shopping adventure. So I ran upstairs to my room and rummaged through my clothes and picked something out to wear. I went to the bathroom, did my hair and went downstairs to wait for my ride.

A few minutes later Angela and the girls showed up, honking the horn. I left the house and got into the backseat.

"This is going to be fun" Angela said excitedly.

"Calm down, Ang and just drive" Emily said.

"Where to?" I asked.

"Were heading to a mall in Seattle" Emily replied.

Twenty minutes after singing along with the radio and playing 20 questions we arrived at the mall, parked and got out of the car. We entered the front of the mall and started to visit every store available in there. The first few seemed to only have clothing that wasn't my style. Another hour went by, store after store, nothing. But a few doors down, Layla, Emily and Angela found some jewelry that would look good on me. I thought so too and I went to the register and bought it. After that we all decided to take a break and have brunch after all the walking and looking we did for a while. We talked and ate and left the food court after a while. On the other the side of the mall is where we continued to look. We walked into a store and they have everything from everyday wear to I want to go out tonight wear. We continued our way into the store and that's when the girls saw dresses or outfits they thought would look good on me. I went to the dressing room and tried on every outfit given to me, but none looked right. My type of dress or style would be simple and maybe elegant. Layla brought back this orange looking thing and I tried it on. The girls laughed at the dressed and told me to never let Layla pick out a dress again. I put my clothes back on and walked out of the dressing room and gave Layla the ugly dress back and that's when I saw the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. I went over to the rack, found my size and return to the dressing room and tried it on, it look gorgeous on me. I put my clothes on and told the girls this is the one and they agreed with me. Looking for some shoes to go with the dress was no problem. After having the jewelry and the shoes, the girls said it's time to get my hair done. I kept turning them down for that, so Emily and Angela stop trying. Emily decided fixing my hair herself would be better. We got back into the car and drove back to La Push. Pulling up in my driveway didn't take too long. The girls and I entered the house and went straight up the stairs to my room. Where the transformation began, it took hours for Emily to do my hair, while Angela did my nails. I wasn't used to being pampered, so I wasn't being a good sport with being still. A couple hours later it was all over. They looked at their work, hair and nails do with approval and told me to have fun and don't be nervous and they left. Dad came in to have the "father daughter talk".

Dad sat down on my bed and began by saying "you look beautiful"

"Thanks Dad"

"I know were are not that close but I want you to have some advice, if he tries anything that you don't like, use the pepper spray I gave you."

"Dad, he's a gentleman."

"That's how it all starts." He replied back.

"I just want you to be safe and have a great time." Dad said.

"Thanks Dad." he got up and hugged me and left.

I noticed that Jacob would be here soon, so I put my dress on and jewelry, my hair was still perfect but I did do a touch up. I walked down the stairs since I was ready and then I decided to check and see if I needed a jacket and I opened to front door and there stood Jake.

Jake's POV

I was standing in front of Melissa house nervous as hell. I took a couple of breathes before getting ready to knock on the door. Okay Jacob don't be an idiot just be yourself and everything will be okay. The door open and the most beautiful creature I ever seen was standing at the door. Melissa was wearing a super soft mini dress cut short with a twisted bandeau top and thick cross back straps, that really brought out her eyes; her hair was styled in beautiful curls with light make-up and heels.

"Hi Jake and might I say you look handsome tonight;" she said checking me out.

"And you look wow and just wow," I said lost for words.

She giggled and blushed.

"Well, thanks Jake so where are we going?" she asked.

"It's a surprise, so shall we go my lady".

She smiled and took my hand as I lead her to my car. Yep this was going to be an excellent night.

I reached for her hand and we walked to the living room where her parents were waiting to meet me. Her parents were sitting on the sofa looking nervous as well. Once Melissa and I got closer to them, they jumped out of their seats to meet me face to face. Her dad cleared his throat and started to say something to me but instead turned to Melissa and said this is guy you have been getting excited about.

"Yes Dad, he is."

I decided to say something, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Daniel, my name is Jacob Black, nice to meet you."

"Well Jacob nice to meet you." Kyle said while shaking his hand.

Vanessa her mom stayed silent but showed a smile on her face, standing beside her husband. Before Kyle could give me the third degree or what are my intentions with Melissa, Melissa interrupted him.

"Well dad it's time for us to go," Melissa took my hand and we headed towards the door. But not before her father saying "have her home at a decent time."

I replied back "I will sir."

I opened the front door and Melissa stepped out first as I followed. I opened the passenger door and she sat down and said "thank you" and I close it. I walked over to my side and got in. As I cranked the car up and backed out of their driveway her parents waved and closed the door. I drove down the street, with the radio quietly playing. Both of us seemed nervous.

Melissa spoke up first, "So where are we going?" She said with a smile.

"It's a surprise" I answered back.

A/N: I know I just started the date, but the date will be continued in the next chapter. So stay tuned.
