Chapter 10 – The Date

Saturday

NPOV

"How much longer, Alice?" I whined impatiently.

"I already told you, ten minutes! Now stop fidgeting so I can finish your hair!"

I could tell she was getting annoyed. This was about the twentieth time I asked. Of course, she couldn't see Jacob, but she did see the door to the cottage open and what time it was.

"Fine…" Ten long never-ending minutes. Why does time go by the opposite of what you want it to do?! *sigh* I can't believe I'm going on a date with Jacob!! It took him long enough to ask…

As Alice predicted, ten minutes later he was at the door knocking. Dad and mom let him in.

"Hey Bella, Edward – is Nessie ready yet?" Jake asks.

Before they even have time to answer, Alice yells out, "Yes, she's ready- just don't do anything to make her spill on her new outfit, Jake!" I laugh. Alice is always worrying about my clothes.

Alice finishes up primping me, and I go out to meet Jake.

"You look amazing, Nessie."

"Aw, thanks Jake! You look great too!" I wasn't lying either. I think this was the only time other than at Grandpa Charlie's wedding that I saw him wear something formal. It made me wonder where exactly we were going…

"No. And have her home by 10pm." Dad interjects, most likely an answer for Jake. By now, I'm used to being out of loop, but am still curious...

"Okay then….bye everyone!" Jake took my hand and we went out to his car.

"Hey Jake? What did you ask him?"

"If you knew where I was going to take you."

"I wish."

"Well, if we want to make it, we're going to have to leave now."

"Okay. Do I get any clues to this mystery place?"

"Nope."

"That's not fair…" I pout and Jacob laughs.

"Tough. We'll be there soon enough."

"Fine…"

It took at less than an hour and we were there. It was this really nice restaurant, but not overly fancy. Jacob walked me inside and asked for our reservation.

"Table for Black, please."

"Yes, right this way." The hostess replied.

The hostess led us to the table with the most beautiful seaside view. By the time the waitress came and we ordered our food, the view turned into a sunset on the ocean. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was! Jacob must have noticed where I was staring.

"I can't believe the view Jacob! It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it is, but not as beautiful as you are Nessie." I looked back to him. He took me face in his hands and started kissing me. My first kiss! He quickly pulled away thought when the waitress came with our food.

"I'm sorry, but here's your food." She said.

"It's okay. Thanks." Jake said.

As soon as she placed the food down, his attention seemed to disappear from me and onto the food. This I'm used to. One thing I've learned being by werewolves all the time is that the only that can distract them is the smell of food. I laugh.

He turns his head up to look at me with spaghetti sauce on his mouth. "What's so funny?"

"You are." I continue to laugh until people start staring at me. "Oops." I whispered and tried to stop laughing, but it was quite a challenge.

I went to eat my food, but food wasn't so appealing to me, so I only ate a little of it. Yes, I learned to live with eating human food, but that didn't mean I had to like it. After I was done nibbling at my food, I returned to look out at the sunset. When Jacob finished eating, he took my hand and we watched the sun set. After that, we went back to his car and started talking and listening to the radio. Neither I nor him wanted to leave yet. Pretty soon, we were making out. It felt so right to be with him – like we could do this forever. Apparently, he didn't think so because he broke the kiss.

"What's wrong?" I ask, hoping that he hasn't changed his mind about me.

"Nessie, we need to get home before 10 or your dad's gonna kill me. We're late as it is."

"Oh…" Oops, totally forgot about the time. Okay, so maybe he does feel the same…

When I arrived home, it was 10:15 pm. Dad was on the porch giving Jacob death stares.

I look straight at dad. Dad! I'm home! I was only 15 minutes late and that was my fault! I thought of me and Jake making out, but made sure to make him see that Jake was the one who stopped. He cringed. I turn to Jake.

"I better get going…looks like Edward's pretty pissed off."

"Yah, probably. Thanks for the best date ever!" I kiss him goodbye. This time, dad is the one to separate us.

*cough*

"Bye Nessie, see you tomorrow." Jake says.

"Yah, see you then."

He left.

No way could I keep this day a secret. I run back inside to go spill all of the detail to Rose and Alice. If anyone here wants to know, it'd be them. Even though Rose hates Jacob, she stands him because he makes me happy and she lives vicariously through me.

"So? How did the date go? Spill all, Nessie!" Alice said curiously.

So I spilled everything, of course through touch. It would've been too hard to fully express how the date went and what I was feeling in words. I showed each one what I thought they would like to see. Alice and Rosalie I gave all the details while mom and grandma, I showed everything up to the making out in the car. I really didn't want to show them that nor did I think they would want to see that.

"Aww, our Nessie is all grown up!" Alice commented.

"Didn't grandpa say I still had about a year left though?" I asked.

Alice laughs. "I wasn't talking about that – I meant that you're going on dates, looking at Jacob differently and … probably gonna get some soon." She giggled.

"Alice! I do not want to hear about my daughter having sex!" Mom yelled and I blushed.

"Well, it's true. Seeing you together makes Jasper and I…"

"Alice, please!" I said.

Alice laughs again. "Sorry, but it's true." I shake my head.

"Look. It was one date. She has plenty ahead of her to decide what to do and how far to go." Mom told Alice then looked at me. "Plus, your father and I will not allow that to happen until you are married. I know it's old and traditional, but please. Take your time with this relationship, dear."

"Don't worry mom, I don't think Jacob would let that happen. He has a lot of self control."

Rosalie laughs. "She trusts the mutt, what she means is don't push him into the things that you want. You have your mom's lack of self control toward guys."

"Oh…"

"How do you know, Rose?" Mom asked with intrigue.

"She didn't show you her memory of sucking face with him?"

Mom and grandma looked at me quizzically and shook their heads 'no.'

"What? So we made out in the car. No big deal. Jake stopped it from going anywhere anyways."

Mom sighed. "You had to inherit that from me didn't you?" She rhetorically asked while shaking her head in shame. Everybody laughed.
