Chapter 10: If.
Seth and his mistress didn't seem to notice us- just lost in their own world I suspect. Not as inconspicuous as I tried to be when I was in the moment with Jake.
Just them Seth turned to the girl, and said something I didn't - well couldn't- catch.
But Jake seemed to. He fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, through his fits of very loud laughter.
Seth whipped his head around in an instant. His mistress in what seemed to be a daze. He was way down the beach but his . . .ah . . .gifted hearing allowed him to hear.
He seemed embarrassed. Most likely because he had been spotted in what seemed to be a very private moment.
Seth's friend seemed to snapped out her daze and turn to see what Seth had spotted.
I could only imagine her embarrassment when she saw Jake and I- Jake rolling on the floor laughing- at what appeared to be them. She must have thought she was crazing and that Jacob could have never heard what was spoken.
But of course she had no idea who I was and Jacob was most likely a stranger too.
Seth's mistress looked down in embarrassment. Seth leaned down and whispered something into her ear, which added to Jacob's hysterics.
I bent down, "Jake"- I hissed- "Your embarrassing them- get up!" I tugged on his arm.
He just laughed harder, so I kicked him- Hard in the gut.
He yelped in pain. "Awe, Nessie!"
I simply raised my eye brow, "hmmm?"
Jacob just shook his head and smiled, jumping up; I look in Seth's direction. He had taken the girls hand and was making his way over to us.
I took a step toward Jacob, to see a smile itching to be set free. "Jacob Black, you be nice." I whispered.
"Sure, sure." He brushed me off in that playfully tease voice I loved. I gave him a warning glance and turned to met the new arrivals.
Seth and the girl finished off the last few yards of space between us slowly.
"Hey, Seth!" I called pulling him into a quick hug. I back a way a bit noticing the slight glare the girl was sending my way.
"Hey, Nessie. Jake." He waved. " This is Samantha Fair."
We looked expectantly at Samantha. She responded by hesitantly extending her hand," Hi, I'm Sam. Seth's girlfriend." Wow. Defensive. I looked toward Jacob, who seemed to be fighting a smile- or outburst.
I hastily took the extended hand. "I'm Renesmee Cullen." I smiled at her. She smiled sheepishly in return, as if suddenly becoming shy.
I felt Jacob squeeze my sides before he spoke "Jacob Black. Nice to meet you." He smiled his infectious grin.
Anyone with any knowledge in communication- any at all- would know it was their turn to talk at this moment. But Sam apparently did not.
Seth took her turn, to save us all from the awkwardness that would have followed the silence. " So. . . Ah . . . What are you guys doing here?"
"Ahh, just some recreation." Jake answered. I giggled remembering the feelings I had just experienced and at that understatement.
"And judging by your soaked clothes, that included cliff diving." Seth replied- sarcastically.
The warmth seeped through my body, going my body the impression of happiness. I liked this sensation. Though I vaguely wondered if it would ever end. If my sun, my warmth, my love would ever fade or disappear.
These thoughts saddened me. What would happen if something happened to Jacob? I loved Jacob with every part of my being, and it was no secret.
I felt hot tears start to build in my eyes. Swiftly I turned my head into the warm shoulder of the arm that constricted around my body. \
