Except every now and then, my dizzy little bubble was pierced by a hearty laugh, and I'd be remember my Jakey. And he was just that...mine. So I guess that makes me his.
Which is exactly what I've always wanted.
I think.
But after a while, Tanya announced that they should be leaving, they had only come for a flying visit on their travels. At that my heart thudded with panic...I wasn't ready for Suhail to leave yet. Lost in my internal frenzy, I forgot that everyone in the room could hear my heartbeat.
"Renesmee, are you okay?" Mom sounded alarmed at my frantic heart.
Think fast, Nessie...
"Oh I just haven't had the chance to spend any time with Carmen! Couldn't you stay a few days? We've got eternity." I shot Tanya my most adorable smile, to which she laughed and agreed to extend their visit for another day.
Just as my panic subsided, I caught Dad's eye. He was smirking knowingly, but he seemed worried. Confused even.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit!!
How had I not realised earlier? I guess he was trying to stay out of my head, but became concerned when my heartbeat went into ultradrive. I stared back at him, silently pleading with him not to say anything.
He bowed his head and left the room, allowing me my mental privacy.
"So bebe, we've got some bonding time," Carmen smiled and hugged me. I tried to smile back, to chatter enthusiastically, but my mind was elsewhere. With a stunning pair of flaming eyes.
