After ten minutes of putting up with the guys, Nessie and I left the pool room and headed back to the room. It was weird; her just walking down the hall in her underwear. I could have sworn I saw this testosterone filled teenage boy's eyes light up. Hopefully, in the bag she packed, there was some nice, warm, conservative clothing.

When we reached the room she grabbed the bag and headed into the bathroom and I walked over by the TV. By it was a bunch of bagged groceries and on top there was three pizzas. On top of it a note read "Here, have a nice dinner date with your imprint –Quil". Usually I wouldn't have expected something like this but then I remember that Quil felt the same thing with Claire. He probably missed her like hell right now. I would have to add a mental note give him some sort of gift sooner or later.
I heard the shower water turn on and my stomach growl simultaneously. Oh, well, she didn't take long showers anyways. I could wait….. In the mean time though…

In my pocket was a lighter, I knew it probably had gotten wet, but maybe it had one last flame in it. It did. I lit a candle and set it down on the short table in front of the sofa. I spread the two end chairs out all the way so there was plenty of leg space. Then I found three more candles and lit them using the first.

I was sort of shocked that they even allowed candles in here, but I didn't question it. I got some paper plates and put a few pieces of cheese on Nessie's plate and a few of the garbage pizza on mine. I placed two pillows next to each other facing the television (that way she could lean up against the sofa) and turned the TV off. All that was missing now was some light dimmers and soft music.

Five minutes, I sat patiently and waited, and finally she came out dressed in an oversized shirt and black, baggy sweat pants. Those were mine. Now that I think about it, I left those at her place a while back.

She saw the arrangement and her jaw dropped. I came over to her and picked her up. "Which pillow would you like to sit on, miss?" I asked while combing my fingers through her wet hair.

She giggled and pointed to the one with the cheese pizza in front of it, "That one," she commanded nicely.

I set her down gently, and took a seat next to her.

We immediately gulped down the pieces we had. I grabbed the pizza boxes and set them down in front of us, "What the hell, right?" And she giggled.

She ate almost her whole pizza, all except one pizza. I gladly finished off both of mine and still wasn't completely satisfied. Maybe I'd make popcorn for later.

I looked over to her, "What do you think?"

"Thanks so much Jake, how did you set this up?"
"Quil got the pizza. I just arranged the setting and stuff," and I blushed as she took my face into her hands and our slimy, pizza-feely lips kissed.

"Mmm," she groaned while we parted, "I can taste the green peppers."

I smiled at her pleasure. Nothing more in the world was more important then making her happy. We talked a little and then heard some knocks on the door.

Of course, without permission, they all walked in. I suppose it was their room too.

"Awww, Jake, you ate all the pizza," Seth whined.

"All except this piece," Embry swooped his hand down and took the last piece off of Nessie's box.

I growled, "That was hers."
She put a hand on my shoulder, "It's fine Jake, I was finished anyways."
Quil entered last, "Stop complaining, I bought you two plenty of snacks."

Seth reached in the bag and pulled something out, "OREOS!!!" He screamed.

Next Embry reached his hand in there, "SPHAGETTI O'S!!!" And then he jumped up and clicked his heels together. We couldn't help but laugh.

For the next couple hours we sat around watching a football game. Nessie said she didn't mind, we practically made out for half of it anyways.

Once it was nine I declared bedtime, "If you don't want to go to bed, get the hell out of here, cause if one of you nincompoops wake Nessie from her sleep, you'll sleep with one eye open."

I saw out of the corner of my eye that Nessie smiled while rolling her eyes. I could tell she thought it was unnecessary but cute.

"Fine," Embry said jumping onto his bed, "But no icky-love making crap, okay?"

"Ha!" I snorted, "You wish."
And so for the next half an hour I sat there in the dark and watched Nessie as she fell asleep. The second her eye lids closed surely, I started drifting away too.

Nessie's POV

The first thought when I woke up was that I was glad Jake's arms were around me. I felt so warm and protected. But after only second he was removed and in his place was a crouching, bronze haired vampire in his place.

"Dad!" I screamed, still half awake, "What the fuck!?"
He snarled, and I could tell he didn't like the choice of words I had used.

I shot him a glare, "Well, what do you expect when you throw my boyfriend against the wall, huh? How did you find us anyways?"

He shot a glare back, "Don't use that tone, besides, I'll explain it later," he took a look around the room, "Wow, these guys are heavy sleepers, aren't they? Come on," he grabbed my wrist and tugged at it, "We're going home."

I gasped, "No! I'm wherever Jake is!"
He didn't take 'no' for an answer, he started to lead me out of the room. I decided the only thing I could do was scream, surely Jake would wake up to that.

He did, and in a milli-second he was by my side staring angrily at my father, "What?" He asked, trying to maintain his voice level under his breath.

"We're going home. You can follow if you want to," and then he placed me on his back and began to speed walk down the hallway, "You are in serious trouble when you get home," he told me.

Jake followed right behind us the entire run home. I fell asleep on my dad's back and had a good hour nap before I was awoke by a bunch of surrounding people. Somehow this seemed all too familiar.

I was heaved onto the couch, and before Jake could sit beside me, I was seated in between my mom and Aunt Rose.

Their arms were wrapped around me, "Thank goodness," my mom sighed while kissing my cheek over and over. "I missed you."

Before I could think, the words, "I missed you too," popped out of my mouth.

"All right," my dad said while taking my Aunt's spot, "Now for your punishment."

"No, wait!" Aunt Alice said while entering gracefully through the front door, "I'm the one who gave her permission, punish me."

"All set aside, though, it was all her idea though," my dad said sternly to her, "Now, love, before we say anything, can you tell us what pursued you to do this?"

"She missed me," Jake hissed, obviously to get a rise out of my father.

"That's right," I sighed, "And I couldn't wait any longer to see him again. So Aunt Alice saw it coming and gave me permission. But it wasn't her fault in any way, okay?"

"We understand, honey," my mom said, then my parents exchanged glances, "Two days sound good, love?" she asked my father.

He nodded. Inside my head I was screaming of joy, only two days? That was incredible. I expected a whole bunch more. I was ecstatic!

"Now, you have three minutes to say good-bye to Jake. Grounded means no boyfriends. Especially not sleeping in your bed…" he growled.

"I can explain! I was cold last night, and Jake offered to keep me warm," I said sort of calmly.

"I doubt it," Uncle Emmett said, joining the conversation. I punched his arm slightly and then shoed away the family.

Jake and I said quick good-byes, although I knew it wouldn't be that horrible. He would still remain outside my window while I slept. That was close enough for me, I guess.

The next day was Monday, and I was not anxious having to see Presley between classes all day. Of course I still wanted to remain friends, but I didn't love him. I had no idea how that may have effected him.

Despite everything, dad allowed Jake to drive me to school (him, like Jake, wanted the boys at school to have a reminder on how I was off limits). That was great.

Before jumping off of his motorcycle at the school, he kissed me enough to make my eyes open wide in surprise. I kept it short in case Presley was around.

When I got to my locker, no blonde-haired, green-eyed boy was there, waiting for me. Of course he wasn't, he wasn't my boyfriend anymore. I shook my head in remembrance.

The first two hours were slick, Blake was absent, so my first hour was pretty boring. But on my way back from second hour, I had a feeling things were gonna be a bit different today.

I felt a large paper wad hit my head. I turned around and saw this tall, super skinny girl with some 'sassy' look on her face.

"Ummm," I said, not sure on how to approach the situation, "Hi…"

She laughed, and the four girls around her joined in, "Whore," she said with a sly smile on her face.

"What?" I asked, blushing. No one had ever called me a whore before.

"I saw you with Mr. Total Hot-ass Bike Dude today. I can't believe you dumped Pres, that's why you're a whore," she said all-knowingly and them turned around laughing.

But the only thing I heard was the "hot-ass" part. That was enough for me to tackle her to the ground and pull her hair hard.

:O ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!!! Haha, I'll update soon, I promise!!! Thanks for the recent reviews, I am TOTALLY motivated to write more and more each day!
