In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit
(Nessie's POV-)
I searched my closet for something nice to wear, Jacob, Seth and I were going to La Push to spend Christmas with the pack and his family - to say I was scared shit-less was an understatement. We were leaving soon for the long drive and I still haven't found anything. "Aha!" I said in victory when I found a black one - button blazer, a grey sweater dress, navy tights, black ankle boots with buckles, a antique dimple bracelet, a turquoise Patrizia Pepe buckle waist belt, and a black Patent croc satchel. I frowned at the bag, but rolled my eyes knowing Alice gave it to me in the first place, I got dressed quickly and smiled at my reflection.
"You just like to look absolutely amazing, just to drive me crazy?" Jacob asked as he snaked his arms around me from behind and kissed the side of my mouth
I giggled and turned around. I placed my hands on his chest, "I'm not done getting ready," I said with a smile, he kissed me around my smile - which was increasingly difficult with both of us grinning like fools.
"Stop smiling, you make this harder than it really should be." Jacob whispered against my lips.
I laughed, "You're just as guilty as I am, Mr. Black."
He shrugged and kissed my cheek before leaving me alone to finish getting ready. I gave myself a silver - grayish light smokey eye and put on some light pink lip stain. I grabbed my bag and walked out of my room, Jacob was sitting on the couch, playing video games with Emmett. I rolled my eyes and placed my hands on my hips, giving him a look.
He looked up from the controller and gave me a lopsided grin, "What?"
I shook my head and smiled, "Nothin'." I started walking towards the door and listened as Jake quickly dropped the controller and came over to me,
"Leavin' without me? That's not very smart seeing as how you have no clue how to get there." he raised an eyebrow and gave me another goofy grin.
"Bro, we were so close on that level! You just quit on me!" Emmett said in disbelief as he stared at Jacob, he eyes wandered over to me. "C'mon, Renny - please let us just finish th - "
Jacob started laughing, "Man, we have forever to finish that thing - and begging isn't very manly, think about that next time." I saw Rosalie try to hide her smile, I smiled and shook my head. We walked outside, saying goodbye as we shut the door. I watched Jacob waltz his way over to my side of the car. He opened the door and gestured for me to get in, "You're chariot await, my lady." He said in an overly think British accent. I snorted and slid inside his huge Jeep,
He got in the car and revved it to life, I gave him a pointed look before he pulled out of the driveway. I looked behind us to see Seth following us in his car,
I turned back around and looked at Jacob, "What's gotten in to you today?" I asked with a small smile.
He looked at me then back to the road, "I'm just happy," he said with a shrug.
I furrowed my eyebrows together. "About what exactly?"
"Life!" he exasperated while throwing his hands in the air momentarily.
I blinked slowly and let out a single chuckle, "Alright, whatever." I said, dropping the subject would most likely be a good idea since Jacob was most definitely not going to be very clear on his happiness today. I've never seen him so smiley and nearly glowing.
oOoOo
We arrived a quarter after three, Jake was so jittery and excited - it kind of made me think he was going to have a heart attack. "You're so weird," I mumbled under my breath.
He took my hand and helped me out of the car. "Eh," He shrugged and gave me another goofy smile. He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to the front door, he pushed it open, revealing a loud buzz of voices. My eyes widened, "C'mon, everyone seems to be in the living room." he let go of my waist and interlaced our fingers tightly. He gave my hand a squeeze before taking me to the living room,
"Aye! Jake!" A bunch of loud, booming male voices called. I watched as they all rushed over and bear tackled him to the floor. I let go of his hand quickly and watched them all tumbled onto the floor. I laughed quietly.
Eventually they all got off of him and greeted him civilly, with hugs and pats on the back. "Good to see you, bro. I've missed my 'effng best friend." a guy said as they hugged. Jake pushed through the mob of men and pulled me to his side.
"Everyone, I want you to meet my girlfriend, Renesmee - " He started, I cut him off.
"Just call me Nessie," I said with a smile. There was no doubt I was freaking out on the inside, I was being judged by his wolf pack, his brothers as he once called them.
There eyes widened before they all smiled rambunctiously. "Is she officially a wolf girl?" A taller guy asked while waggling his eyebrows.
Jacob punched his arm lightly, "Jesus Paul, no." Jake said with a laugh. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Wolf girl?" I questioned, quirking an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you later," Jake whispered to me. He placed a soft kiss bellow my ear, I giggled and hit his chest lightly.
"Ja - ake." I gave him a stern glare, but the smile breaking onto my face ruined it all.
"Damn, bro. You've got it bad." The guy next to Paul said, Jake shot him a glare and I watched them all head down the hall. Most likely to the kitchen.
Jake pulled me over to Billy, "Dad," Jake said with a breathtaking smile. He leaned down and hugged his father long and hard,
"Good to have you home, son." Billy said with a sad smile. "And Renesmee, good to see you again. Get everything all sorted out?" He asked me with a chuckle.
I gave him a small hug, "Yeah, and I'm really glad I did." I placed a hand on Jake's chest and looked up at him. He pulled me close and kissed the top of my head.
"JACOB EMPHRAIM BLACK, YOU COME INTO MY HOME WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU WERE HERE, AND YOU BROUGHT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" a screaming female voice yelled from another room. Jacob winced.
"Rachel," he said with a sigh. We turned around and I saw a woman in her early thirties holding up a spatula with her apron on, giving Jake a glare.
If looks could kill, Jake be sauteed and thrown into the oven by now.
She looked over at me and smiled kindly. "Hi, I'm Rachel - Jake's older sister. You must be Nessie, the guys came into the kitchen buzzing about you." she pulled me into a tight hug. "Welcome to our slightly dysfunctional family." she said with tender eyes,
Jake gave Rachel a look, "Rach, it's only dysfunctional because Paul - " there was a loud crash in the kitchen, followed by a loud yelp and cursing. Rachel closed her eyes for a moment and nearly growled, "Paul." she said under her breath. She gave me a tight smile before storming back into the kitchen. Jacob started howling with laughter.
"Paul's dead," he said in between laugh. "So dead."
"I'm going to try and go help Rachel out." I said softly, I started to walk away but Jacob pulled me back into his arms. He pulled me close to his chest, "Did you know, if you look up - you'll see something that might surprise you." he raised his eyebrows and I looked up to see none other than a mistletoe.
"You sly dog," I said with a little grin. "You knew it was there the whole time, didn't you?"
He shrugged and pulled me closer, "Maybe, maybe not." I bit my lip and looked up at him under my lashes, "Merry Christmas, Nessie." I closed her eyes and felt his warm breath trace over my face, caressing my lips before his lips gently touched mine. It was soft and lasted nothing more than a moment before he pulled away and looked above my shoulder, his face turned into a scowl.
"You know it's not Christmas yet, Jake." I smirked, he looked back down at me and chuckled.
"Might as well fuck each other on the floor," a snarky voice said from behind me. I looked over my shoulder at a beautiful tan skinned goddess. Her jet black hair fell to her shoulders, perfectly straight and styled. She was tall, and very much in shape.
"Leah, c'mon." Jake said with a growl, "Stop being a bitch." my eyes widened, that was Seth's older sister.
She snorted, "Maybe when pigs fly," she gave Jacob one last glance before disappearing into another room.
"Sorry 'bout her . . ." Jake said softly, he let go of me, but still kept our hands interlocked.
I had a feeling Leah didn't like me to much.
oOoOo
Diner went well, everyone seemed to like me - except Leah.
Normally, I get along with everyone; but Leah just flat out hated me the second she looked at me. She's been giving me attitude all night, so I excused myself - telling Jake I had to use the bathroom, when really - I went out onto the porch to talk with Leah. I opened the creaky door, she turned around and frowned.
"Yay, it's the spawnling." I narrowed my eyes at her,
"I know you don't like me, but I don't understand why." I stated flatley, I crossed my arms over my chest.
She laughed sarcastically, "Not liking you is a very big understatement."
I rolled my eyes, "Care to explain why?"
She scoffed, "No, I really don't care to explain anything to the likes of you." she brushed past me but I grabbed her arm in a death grip. I pulled her back to face me, "Tell me why."
Her eyes narrowed as her dark eyes glared into mine, "Get your hand off of me." she growled.
"Tell me why you're so angry about Jacob being with me,"
She chuckled darkly. "You want to know why? I'll tell you why, You're half vampire, you're ten years old - you're a Cullen. Badda bing, badda boom." she said, her lips formed a tight line as she crossed her arms. "You're no good for him, you'll just end up sucking his blood or convince him to stop phasing so he can be human again and you can make him a damn bloodsucker. Either way, you're going to kill the man I - " she stopped her self, my eyes turned to slits.
"The man you what." I growled,
"I - I grew up with. He's like my brother." She said angrily. She pushed her way past me and back inside the house. I sat on the bench and looked out at the green grass with the light blanket of snow over it.
"Nessie, what are you doing out here?" a voice asked, I looked up to see one of Jake's pack members I didn't know.
"Just basking, I guess." I mumbled.
"I'm Embry, just in case you forgot." He said as he sat down next to me. "I'm surprised you're not with Jake,"
I shrugged, "I had a headache." I lied, "Just needed some fresh air."
He laughed, "You're a terrible liar when it comes to lying to werewolves, I heard you two's conversation." He said with a sad smile. "Ever so often Leah slips up, everyone in the pack except Jake knows she's been in love with him ever since she joined his pack."
My mouthed formed an 'o'.
He laughed, "If you're about to worry, don't even bother. Even if Jake hadn't imprinted on you, he wouldn't dump you for the likes of Leah no matter what. Sometimes being a bitch is the most unattractive feature a woman can have." He said matter-o-factly, I quirked an eyebrow up at him.
"My mom was a therapist," he said after a moment. I nodded my head. "Jake really loves you, you have nothing to worry about." I watched him stand and leave me to my thoughts on the porch.
oOoOo
I woke up to my phone ringing shrilly, Jake groaned and rolled over, pulling me closer. I tried to reach for my phone, my attempt was unsuccessful.
Jake and I may sleep in the same bed, but we've never gone father than just kissing. That would come much later in our relationship.
I looked up at him under my lashes - the anticipating was sending butterflies through my stomach. I kissed his jaw lightly - his hands grasped my hips lightly. One hand trailed up and down my sides, making me shiver.
"Tease." he whispered before pressing his lips to mine. I laced my fingers to a crown in his hair, pulling him closer. He groaned out loud, I smiled softly.
"Big fucking tease." he said again, I laughed and twisted our tongues together - I sighed softly at the friction.
My phone rang again, both Jacob and I groaned when I pulled away from him. He handed me my phone, "Hello?" I said into the receiver, my tone still sounding tired.
"You, Jacob and Seth all need to come home - right now." my father said quickly.
My eyebrows knitted together, what was he talking about? "Why?"
"Volturi."
The line went dead as I dropped my phone in shock.
