Nessie's POV
Chapter 20 (Game on)
As my dad had told me after Jake had bought me a pony when I was physically 5, there's good news and bad news. For the pony, the good news was that I was allowed to keep it. The bad news was that the pony had to be kept away from The White House and the rest of the family if I wanted it to live. Except for Alice, whom rode on it everyday until it was murdered by Emmett. I've never forgiven him and I still sort of hold a grudge about it but I love him either way, so it doesn't matter. Back to the good and bad news. The good news is that Nahuel agreed to leave us alone. The bad news is that he was still there when my mom and I came back.
After apologizing and saying goodbye, and trying to hug me but I kicked him right where I know it hurts, so he backed away glaring and ran away from the house. It wasn't all that bad, I guess. What I hadn't noticed is that it was pretty late. Well, not actually late, but for the plans I had it was. My dad looked at me when I thought that. I couldn't read the look and it made me sad. I got another look from Jasper but his was confusion. He didn't know why I was sad. I didn't like to make him suffer with me so I smiled and winked. He did the same and got back to the conversation going on. All our family was gathered around the dining room table which was rarely used.
"It was my fault," Alice blamed herself, again. "I should've been looking out for any visitors. It's just that I haven't been too focused because since Jake is being here more I rarely see and…"
"Alice it wasn't your fault," I told her, yet again. It was my fault and I knew it but I also knew that if I said this out loud everyone else would start taking the blame. I hated when they did that. Just because I was the youngest one they always thought they had to protect me from everything. I could face the world on my own but no, they didn't know that.
"Renesmee," was all my dad said and I knew he had heard me. It was true, though. Even he knew it. "No. I don't."
Dad, please! You know I'm not a little girl but all of you go around screaming to the world that I am. You know I hate that.
"We do not," he disagreed. "All we do is take care of you."
"What are you secretly talking about?" Alice asked. She was just ignored.
That's the problem! I can take care of myself. You know that, too!
"No. You can't." I think everyone, except of course one person, had an idea of what we were talking about. That one person was, like it always is, Emmett.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?"
"Emmett, babe, I know it's hard for you to keep up but if you would just try it… I mean we can all pretty much understand what's going on," Rosalie said. "It's always you that's doesn't get it."
"I'm not retarded, Rose. It's not my fault if others are more talented than me," he complained. "Seriously, though. It's not fair. What's going on?"
"Nessie thinks she can take of herself and that we are protecting her too much," my mom said.
Traitor!
My dad caught this and laughed. My mom, along with most of the family except Emmett once again, looked at him like he needed some sort of help.
"So what you're saying is that you don't want us up in your business anymore?" My uncle asked.
"When did I ever?"
"True," he chuckled. "I don't get how this came up, though." He scratched his head and looked down.
"Don't worry about it," I said quickly, before anyone else could say their theory out loud and get it right. "I'm pretty tired plus I still haven't changed. I'm gonna go to the cottage," I paused and looked at Jake at my side. "Jake can you come with me?" He didn't look so surprised that I had asked him.
"Of course," he told me and got my hand.
"I'll go with you, Nessie," my mom said and I shot her a death glare. If looks could kill she'd be writhing on the floor with pain before her death. "Never mind. I just remembered I wanted to talk to Alice and Rosalie about something." I gave her a different look now. It was a 'don't-you-dare' look and she mouthed 'I won't'.
"Nessie, I'd like to speak with you," my dad said and I groaned.
"Can't this wait until tomorrow?" I asked. "I'm really tired."
"Baby, if your dad needs to talk to you, maybe you should-"
"I'm afraid it has to be now. Tomorrow might just be too late," my dad interrupted Jake.
"I'm sorry but I'm not in the mood for talking right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beeeeeep," I smirked and ran with Jake all the way to the cottage. I was glad no one was following us because I didn't want them to mess this up. As soon as we walked in the cottage Jake was giving me funny looks. I don't mean funny as laughing but weird. Sort of suspicious. "Hello, my love," I said, the pitch of my voice higher than usual. Must be the excitement.
"What's up, baby?" He asked me, the suspicion in his eyes. I smirked.
"Nothing… Umm, would you mind helping me take my dress off?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand and lead him to my room. After closing the door I said "I don't really reach the zipper in the back." I pulled my hair to the side over my shoulder.
"Sure," he gulped and I felt his warm hands suddenly on my back, reaching for the zipper. When he found it he pulled down on it but not all the way. He stopped moving his hands after the zipper had been undone halfway through my back. "Where's your bra?" His question was so random it made me laugh.
"This dress has a built in bra. No need to wear extra padding that I don't need," I giggled, my back still to him. His hands moved up to my bare shoulders.
"Can you reach the zipper there?" I tried and unfortunately, I did reach it. I pulled it all the way down and since there was no way the dress would stay up by itself, it felt onto the floor. Jake's breath caught and I suddenly became worried. I never had been insecure but I wasn't sure what I would do if Jake didn't like what he saw. I didn't so much as move and neither did he. After what seemed like hours, which I knew were only minutes, Jake spoke again. "I think it'll be best if I go."
"No," I said, and without even knowing I turned around. Jake had his eyes closed so he didn't see anything. I sighed. I didn't turn on purpose but I was a little disappointed that he had his eyes closed. "Please don't go. I want you to stay. It'll make me happy, Jake." I closed the distance between us and pressed my entire body against him. I know I shouldn't have but I wanted to. My body felt nice against his. It fit perfectly. We were meant for each other.
"I wont," he said after another while. I looked up but his eyes were still closed. "Can you please put some clothes on?"
This is when my game would start.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I pulled away innocently. "Does this make you uncomfortable?"
"Not too much," he lied.
"I'm sorry," I said again, and filled my voice with fake pain as I turned around so my back was to him again. "You can turn around. I'm gonna take a shower, but please don't leave."
"Baby, I'm sor-"
"No, Jake. It's my fault. I knew you didn't want me as much as I want you," I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. He knocked on the door several times but I ignored those knocks. I couldn't help but grin to myself. All part of the plan. I turned the shower on and took a cold bath. My skin was hot enough as it is so I decided to cool down a bit.
It was only after I got out of the shower that I had realized I hadn't gotten anything to wear so now the only thing I was an used underwear, which I definitely wouldn't wear, and a towel. I dried myself and put the towel around me. When I stepped out of the bathroom quietly I saw Jake laying down on my bed, without his shirt. He had fallen asleep because I heard his quiet snores. I giggled to myself, picked up his button down shirt, and went to my closet. After finding a red lacy underwear with a matching bra I put them on and threw the shirt over it. Yeah, it's not the sexiest thing to wear but I had my own ideas. I buttoned it up quickly before I went to the bed and laid next to Jake.
I made circles on his chest with my finger and I explored it further. Although I already knew exactly every part of his chest by memory. I started playing with the button on his pants until I undid it. I looked up cautiously and found Jake staring down at me.
Jake's POV
Chapter 20 (Stubborn)
I realized I am the luckiest guy in the world. I have a great family, whom even if they are vamps I still love them; my dad and sisters are still alive, Thank God for that; and a gorgeous girlfriend, whom surprises me more and more each day. As Nahuel was about to give her a hug she kicked him right where every guy dreads he'll ever be kicked. It definitely showed him and everyone burst out laughing. Except him, because of course he ran out of the house glaring at Nessie.
After he had left the whole family gathered in the dining room table. I knew they had this for keeping up appearances but it made no sense because no one, outside from me, who knew their secret and was part of it, Charlie, who was pretty close to knowing it but didn't want to, and other vamps, that were part of the secret, visited them. It was times like this when it was useful, though. We were all sitting around it, talking amongst one another. Mostly I talked with Edward.
Do you know anything about what we heard from Nessie earlier?
He nodded slightly, and I knew no one else had noticed.
Well, what was it? Tell me, Edward!
He shook his head now and I glared at him. Suddenly he turned to Nessie, who was sitting right next to me, at the same time she looked up. After getting a look from Jasper, she winked at him and smiled, and he returned to his conversation. She knew I had caught that because our eyes met momentarily. She looked embarrassed. Why?
Alice kept blaming herself and now I knew why Edward had always said that the smallest was the most annoying one. I always thought Emmett was the most annoying one but I was beginning to have second thoughts. Nessie disagreed with her and by the look on her face I knew she blamed it on herself but there was nothing I, or anyone for that matter, could do to get those thoughts out of her head.
"Renesmee. No. I don't," Edward said, getting everyone's attention. It was quiet except for my breathing. "We do not. All we do is take care of you." I knew that they were arguing but I wasn't going to get in it.
"What are you secretly talking about?" Alice asked. No one paid attention to her for the first time.
"No. You can't."
Now I knew what they were talking to each other about. Of course Nessie thought she could take care of herself and that he family was being overprotective. I think sometimes they are but I cant say I blame them. I'm overprotective with her, too.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on?" Clueless Emmett asked
"Emmett, babe, I know it's hard for you to keep up but if you would just try it," Blondie told him. "I mean we can all pretty much understand what's going on. It's always you that's doesn't get it." I bit my lip back to stop from laughing. She was pronouncing each syllable of the words and going as slow as she could.
"I'm not retarded, Rose. It's not my fault if others are more talented than me. Seriously, though. It's not fair. What's going on?" More talented? Does he think he's talented? Ha!
"Nessie thinks she can take of herself and that we are protecting her too much," Bella told him. So I was right!
Edward started laughing and everyone looked at him again. I exclude Emmett from the 'everyone' category. I knew he wasn't laughing at something I thought, but I guessed that he laughed at something Nessie thought.
"So what you're saying is that you don't want us up in your business anymore?" The way Emmett put it was even more amusing than anyone else could.
"When did I ever?" Nessie asked.
"True. I don't get how this came up, though." He was scratching his head and looked more like a dog than I ever do. I had a flashback. About 7 years ago before Nessie had been born and I was over with Seth. Edward had told Blondie to get me something to eat and she came back with a dog bowl with 'Fido' written on it. Good ol' times.
"Don't worry about it," Nessie answered. "I'm pretty tired plus I still haven't changed. I'm gonna go to the cottage. Jake can you come with me?"
"Of course," I replied and got her hand as we stood up together.
"I'll go with you, Nessie," Bella offered. I don't know what made her change her mind but soon after she claimed she needed to tell Rose and Alice something so she couldn't go.
"Nessie, I'd like to speak with you," Edward told her and she groaned.
"Can't this wait until tomorrow? I'm really tired."
"Baby, if your dad needs to talk to you, maybe you should-" I started but was interrupted by Edward, explaining further for her.
"I'm afraid it has to be now. Tomorrow might just be too late."
"I'm sorry but I'm not in the mood for talking right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beeeeeep." I didn't know why Nessie wanted to get away from the house so quickly but I didn't care because I was tired of being there for so long already. As we ran to her house I observed her. She had her 'thinking face' on and the little wrinkle between her eyes came back. When we walked into the cottage she was smirking and I eyed her suspiciously. She was definitely up to something. Now to figure out what.
"Hello, my love," she said. Her voice sounded like Alice's.
"What's up, baby?"
"Nothing… Umm, would you mind helping me take my dress off?" She brought me to her room and closed the door. What the hell am I getting myself into today? "I don't really reach the zipper in the back."
"Sure," I grabbed the tiny zipper located in the middle of her back and pulled down on it. After it was about halfway down I stopped. "Where's your bra?" I that girls wore bras to keep their breasts… high? Or protected, I guess? Well, I knew they wore bras, period.
"This dress has a built in bra. No need to wear extra padding that I don't need," she giggled. I caressed her back softly as I placed my hands on top of her shoulder. She was so smooth and beautiful.
"Can you reach the zipper there?" I asked her and she brought her delicate hands to her back and unzipped the dress all the way until it fell to the floor. I didn't let my eyes wander over her body because I knew I would take her right there and then. I couldn't move and I didn't feel her movement either. My breathing was ragged and it was weird because I hadn't even seen her. "I think it'll be best if I go."
"No. Please don't go. I want you to stay. It'll make me happy, Jake." She had turned around and right now her petite, delicate body was pressed entirely against mine. The only thing separating us was my tux because I could feel the warmth radiating off her. I knew she was naked. Or at least almost naked.
"I wont. Can you please put some clothes on?" I had to ask her even if it might hurt her feelings. She knew I wanted her, didn't she?
"Oh, I'm sorry. Does this make you uncomfortable?" Suddenly the cold air hit me and I knew we weren't touching anymore. I let out the breath I hadn't noticed I'd been holding.
"Not too much," I tried to sound convincing but even to myself it sounded like a lie.
"I'm sorry. You can turn around. I'm gonna take a shower, but please don't leave." Nothing could hurt me more than how hurt she sounded. I heard her light footsteps as she made her way to the bathroom.
"Baby, I'm sor-" I was going to apologize but I was cut off by her.
"No, Jake. It's my fault. I knew you didn't want me as much as I want you." That's when I opened my eyes because I knew she was inside already. How could she be so stubborn as to believe what she had just said?
"Nessie!" I knocked and knocked on her door as I said her name over and over again but she was just ignoring me. I gave up and walked back to her bed. I took my shirt off because it was bothering me and was left with my pants and shoes on. I was just too lazy to take them off now. I lay back on her bed and drifted to sleep.
It wasn't until I felt something tickling me that I began to notice I had fallen asleep. It wasn't really like me to go to sleep in the middle of the day- well, yeah it's totally like me. I opened my eyes and saw the last thing I would've expected to see. A very uncovered Nessie wearing my white, button down shirt, from which I could see her red bra under; I just imagined her underwear was matching. There was a nudge on my pants and when I looked down I saw that she was undoing my button. I should've probably stopped her, but I didn't want to. She raised her head slowly and our eyes met.
