Jacobs P.O.V.
"Fine if you'd rather sleep on the hard floor than next to me, suit yourself" She said. I couldn't deny her this, she needed me.
"Ok" I said. I had avoided sleeping in the same bed with Nessie ever since I started having 'urges'. I climbed into bed next to her after we both had our showers.
"Mmm night Jake" She scooted close to me practically lying under me. I pushed her away just a little.
"I don't have enough room" I lied. I wanted her that close to me but I would be kicking myself in the morning if I didn't put a little space between us. My words put a hurt look on her face. I turned my back to her so I wouldn't have to look at her; it hurt me that I hurt her.
"Night Ness" I said over my shoulder
"Yea goodnight" She spat. I did not want her to go to bed angry at me. I turned over to see she too had turned her back to me. I wrapped my hands around her and kissed below her ear.
"I love you" I whispered
"Love you too" She said as she exhaled. I moved back over to my space and found my previous position. I had to be careful with Ness. I can't let her rush into things in our relationship; she wasn't ready. I forced my eyes shut, I wanted to sleep. Soon I heard Nessies steady breathing, I could sleep better knowing she was sound asleep. I was not far from making peaceful sounds of my own.
When I woke up it was still dark. I checked my phone for the time, 6:00. It was time to get going. I loaded the rabbit while Nessie slept. I came back to the room and she was still asleep. She was clutching her locket tightly. I loosened her grip on it then carried her to the car. I managed to put her in the back seat without waking her.
"Jacob" she said incoherently
I took my time driving. We were safe for the time being so there was no need to rush. My stomach growled, I had almost forgotten about food. I wasn't aware I was hungry until just then. I pulled into what looked like a decent fast food restruant.I reached in the back seat to wake Ness.
"Ness wake up, you hungry?"
"Hmmm, what?"
"Are you hungry" I asked again
"Yea, kinda " She said rubbing her eyes
"Climb up front, I'll go through the drive through"
"You want a burger?"
"Um no I'm kind of a semi-vegetarian when it comes to human food"
"Since when?" I asked. I knew everything about Nessie and she has always liked burgers.
She rolled her eyes at my question "Since I saw a PITA video on cows a couple of weeks ago"
"Oh, so I guess you want.."
"Chicken" She finished
"Ok then"
I ordered the food and continued down the road. We would be in California by tomorrow night at the latest. Ness helped me eat so I could keep driving. The thought of Nessie being a vegetarian made me laugh out loud.
"What's so funny?"
" So you'll kill dear but you won't eat a burger?" I answered her question with a question
"That's different" She stated
"How?" I asked
"One, I don't torture the deer like they did that cow you just ate"
"Just because you don't eat it doesn't mean they'll stop torturing them" I said jokingly
"Just because you close your eyes doesn't mean the world disappears" She pointed out
"I know it doesn't I just choose not to be a part of it" She added
" You never cease to amaze me" I said grinning
"I'm an amazing person" She said without an ounce of humor in her voice
We drove five hours before Nessie started to get restless.
"Jake, can we stop"
"No, we need to get out of the state first"
"But, I'm tired of being in the car"
" I know "
She slumped down in her seat folding her arms as she did so. If I had a nickel for every time that happened, I 'd be loaded. She ended up falling to sleep before we even got to California. I stopped at the best hotel I could find, which still wasn't much. I was relieved to be able to chill for a few days after being on the road for so long. I was starting to believe I had the worst luck; the hotel only had singles. Looks like she would get her way tonight..Again.
When we got our room I went back to the rabbit to get our bags. Ness was sitting on the end of the bed combing her fingers through her hair. I sat on the floor , flicked on the TV, and started surfing the channels. I missed being close to Ness so I joined her on the bed.
"Jake?"
"Yea" I said keeping my focus on the TV
"You haven't kissed me in a long time" She murmured
With all that was going on I didn't think she wanted me too. I have been wrong before. I gently grabbed her face in my hands and pressed my lips to hers. She crushed her lips back to mine in response. Nessie was kissing with such force, it made my head spin. I moved my hands from her face to her waist. She parted her lips allowing me entrance. I explored her mouth and moaned at the sensation it gave me, which was better than I remembered. She used my shoulders to move her up and over so that she was straddling my lap. She kept shifting her body on me, making the 'urge' build up. I squeezed her waist tighter and she sighed into my mouth. I could feel her firmly pressed against my bulge and I moaned. She rocked her hips, trying to get the same reaction from me but this time she moaned too. 'We need to stop'. I released my hands from her waist to put one in between us and pushed her away.
"What?" She asked breathlessly
"We have to stop" I said just as breathless
"Did I do something wrong?
"No but this is too fast for you"
"Let me be the judge of that"
This was harder than I thought it would be, no pun intended.
"Let's just take it slow"
"Fine" She snapped
"I'm going to change" She announced. She grabbed her bags and headed to the bathroom. When the bathroom door was shut I fell back on the bed and scrubbed my face with my hands, simultaneously kicking and punching the air. She was hard to resist, but I had to try.
