Chapter Eleven
The Reception
"Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you - sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever."
-Lauren Oliver
Madison Cullen
The tent had been erected a few days previous to the wedding, creating a large, glass-floored area for the reception to be held in. The next day, a glistening chandelier was placed around the central support beam, and the day after that, a floral designer had made the inside a splash of colors and aromas. The day after that, the tables were placed, flaunting stunning white tablecloths and breathtaking English china.
After the wedding, this previously lonely tent was now full of bustling people. Laughing filled the air, and champagne corks began pelting the soft canvas of the ceiling, then falling gracefully to the ground.
The bride and groom, Renesmee and Jacob, sat at a long central table at the front of the long, rectangular tent. On each side sat their respective families. The groom's family was relaxed, ties undone, high heels lying on their sides alone in the grass, and cocktails sitting next to their elegant plates.
I sat next on Renesmee's right hand side and Jacob on her left, been her maid of honor I had the second best seat at the head of the table.
As the guests all sat around the table preparing for their meal, it was time for the wedding speaches to occur, and at this time, it was the maiden of honor who would speak first.
I stood up with a glass and a spoon in my hand, taking it and tapping the side of the glass to get everybodies attention. "It's time for the speech." I said unnervingly. Renesmee smiled at me as I stood up.
"Bonded truly at the heart, just like friends we'll never part,
Sisters that are more like friends, I'll love you to the very end.
Words were thrown in our younger years, causing pain and causing tears,
But that's just part of loving you; it's something I've become accustomed to.
You're so honest, so strange and weird; you've told me all of your worst fears,
I've shared all my secrets with you, and that's another part of loving you.
We roll our eyes at dad's jokes, when we see each other cry; we try not to choke,
We hate plastic girls, and I've been bullied too, another thing I can share with you.
But most of all, you're my sister and friend, and while sometimes I hate it, that's true till the end.
I want you to realize, just how beautiful you are, you've made your dreams and come so far.
I'm so grateful that you're my sister too, because that's the simple reason why I love you.
We've grown up together, so far, so near and we've shared so much together.
We've shared love, fear, friends and hope. We've shared trust and loyalty.
And now you've grown up into the best big sister I could have, you're my role model,
You're the person I aspire to be, Renesmee.
And when I look at you and Jake, all I can see is what I want in my future,
I don't doubt I'll get that, but still, everytime I look at you two it gives me hope for the future.
You've always given me hope, my Sister.
You're the one person I trust above anybody else, I'd trust you with my life,
and now I want to welcome Jake officially to our family." I smiled sadly and when I looked at Renesmee and Jake again I realised they were both crying and a lot of other guests were too.
"You really don't realise the effect you have on people do you?" Benjamin asked me, repeating the words he had said to me countless times before.
"No." I said with a lump in my throat as everybody cried.
"Thank you, Madison." Renesmee whispered to me as she wiped a tear from her cheek and then began to laugh.
"Right, enough with the depressing stuff, let's get food!" Renesmee said as the waiters brought in the amazing buffet of food from outside.
Taramina Cullen
Later on at the reception the meal had been finished and now everybody was out on the dance floor preparing to watch Jake and Nessie's first dance as man and wife.
The music played softly. It was low, but still loud enough for everyone to hear. The two lovers joined hands and Jacob led Renesmee out onto the floor. She kept her eyes glued to the back of his head as he preceded her. You could see in her eyes that her heart was filled with love for Jacob. About an hour ago she told him exactly how she felt, and he told her the same. They were in love.
The moment their eyes met for the first time on the dancefloor, it was like Jake imprinted all over again. He was the one for her; she was the one for him. She was beautiful; he couldn't take his eyes off of her. The way her hair fell loosely on her shoulders, and the chocolate brown of her eyes, they all captivated him. Her full red lips were tempting him; calling for his own.
Jake filled Renesmee with so much desire. She had to have him. His nicely toned arms enthralled her, and his long, muscular torso made her heart beat. The look in his eyes when they made contact with hers was enough to send a chill down Tara's spine.
They come together on the floor. Hundreds of eyes watch them as they embrace each other. His hands rest lightly on her hips, but tight enough to let her know he was never leaving. Her hands were wrapped tightly around his neck, just enough to let him know the same.
A stray strand of hair fell in Nessie's eyes as they sway to the music. Jake brought one gentle hand up and brushed it out of her eyes with a charming smile on his face. She smiled lovingly back at Jake then leaned her head on his shoulder, bringing the two together.
She held him. Inhaling his alluring scent deeply. Her whole heart belongs to tthe man who's arms she was in. It's a night she will never forget. This is the night she will submit herself to him. They will finally come together as one. She couldn't be anymore at peace.
Others gather around them, but not too close as to invade their own little world. It is just them on that floor for that moment. No one else existed.
She raised her head to look him in the eyes. The desire and passion that was there when they first met was still there, only it burned deeper than before. He leaned up and quickly captures her tempting red lips with his own. She kissed him back with all the passion that she had for him.
As they pull apart, the song begins to end. But they keep on dancing, staring into one another's eyes. This is the moment they will live in for the rest of their lives.
I looked over to Eddie who was crying slightly, "You big softy." I muttered as I snuggled under his arm.
"Yeh, I guess I am. Would you like to dance?" He said unto me, and we took to the floor. Our hands moving and roaming over the tender flesh of youth. Our heart beats quickened by the music's beat. We moved as one, yet apart. A fight, yet love as we moved. His hand sliding down my cheek, only to slap me, and then I would turn away. Walk from him, only to be called back. Back to his arms, my body arching back, as his hand dragged down my chest, to touch lightly. But more the dance became as we moved our hands suggestively, but only inches from the actual flesh of one another.
Our bodies moving in time.
Jacob Black
By the end of the night, Renesmee and me were tired, but we still had gifts to unwrap and a plane to catch to Australia- of all place.
"Ness, how many more gift's do we have?!" I asked as she sighed and unwrapped another useless nicknack, they all seemed to be things that were for a house, the problem was that we had no house!
"Actually Jake, you might want to look in the next box Renesmee is about to open." Edward said. Had he read my thoughts? They couldn't have gotten us-
"It's a key?" Renesmee frowned as she looked at the key in her hand.
"Look in the box again." Bella urged her, and then she looked in again and she started to scream as she brought out two pieces of paper, one with a photo on it and the other with writing on it.
"It's a deed! Jake, we have our own house!" Renesmee squealed with excitement.
"Our own house?!" I gasped as I pulled the paper out of her hand and looked at the deed, the other paper was a photograph of a beautiful house. The house they had bought us.
"Thank you." I said sincerely as Renesmee hugged her parents.
"It was Madison's idea. The gift is as much from us as it is from her." Bella said as Maddie half smiled at us.
Renesmee ran up and hugged Madison, "Thank you so much!"
"The witches also have a gift for you, Renesmee." Lilith said as she had been invited to the wedding.
"What have you gotten me?" Renesmee smiled at Lilith.
"The fire orb that Bella retrieved for us, in the wrong hands it's power could be deadly, but we believe that you could be its guardian." Lilith said as she handed the amazing glowing ball to Renesmee.
"It's beautiful!" Renesmee said as she reached out to touch the orb.
"Be careful with it, Nessie. The power it holds is unfathomable." Lilith warned as she backed away from the orb.
"Thank you." Renesmee said.
"It's time to go catch you plane!" I heard the Pixie yell at us as she carried our suitcases to us, "You need to get changed and then a car will take you to the airport!" Alice chimed.
Renesmee sighed and we began to follow Alice as all of our guests waved at us...
