Chapter 21
"Jacob, tell me one thing, is it at Isle Esme?" I asked on the plane.
"Now it would be ironic if it was don't you think, but no, I don't think I ever want to go back there, especially since-"
"Yea, I get it." I said covering his mouth. That was all I needed, mental images of my parents.
He smiled as I removed my hand. "Don't worry about it Ness, you'll love it either way…"
"Are you sure it's not at Isle Esme?" I asked. We were on a boat, going the same way we had to go to Isle Esme.
"Positive!" He replied kissing me.
"See Ness, there goes Isle Esme." He said a few minutes later.
I rolled my eyes. Where in the world are we going?
About 15 minutes later, we pulled up to a tiny island to the south of Isle Esme.
"What island is this?" I asked as I let Jacob help me out of the boat.
"Well you could say it's a baby Isle Esme, except no one has been here, but us and I think the South American Vampires. I like to call it "The Adopt an Island Program"; we try out an island and see if we want to adopt it." He said sarcastically.
I laughed. "No really, tell me Jacob."
"It's ours." He stated plainly.
My eyes widened. "Ours?"
"Yep, donated by the vampires of the family."
"They gave us an island?"
"Yea, it's supposedly a part of the Isle Esme land grant and Carlisle just found the part about it in the paperwork. The South American Vampires and half vampire have been here fixing a house up for us, as their wedding present. I'd like to see how they did, wouldn't you?"
I nodded dazed. "Okay, be right back."
I started to go after him but thought against it. A few minutes later he returned in his wolf form. I grabbed our bags and hopped on his back easily. My short white dress flared around me.
Jacob ran at top speed to the direction I guess he thought the house would be. In a few short minutes, we neared a little 2-story white house with windows everywhere. Jacob slowed down and stopped at the porch. I slid off his back and set the stuff down and waited for Jacob to phase. A minute later he returned shirtless.
"You think they did a good enough job?" He asked grabbing the luggage.
I nodded and smiled looking at him. "Good."
As anticipated, he reached down and picked me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he opened the door.
Looking around the room, I was stunned. Inside it was open and white. It had hard wood floors and wide open windows with white curtains blowing. I could see the sun setting over the ocean outside the windows. The living room was the first room. It had a white loveseat and chair; there was a plasma screen TV mounted on the wall opposite of the loveseat. The kitchen was opposite of the living room. It was all wide open. The only other colors besides the white were blue pillows and black marble counter tops. To the right was a white spiral staircase. And to the left on the other side of the living room was an open door.
Jacob, as if on instinct walked to the door. We were both mesmerized by the house, but the room was another story.
It was my dream room, to the tee, and most likely Jacob's too. How they could get our wedding pictures so quick I had no clue, but our wedding kisses were in frames around the room as were pictures of us dancing. No pictures of our family, just us, even a few of us when I was growing up and over the vacation. The Bed was a huge king sized bed, with dozens of fluffy white pillows, and a light blue comforter with a brown wolf design on it. The wolf was actually Jacob, howling to the moon, and on his back was- me! Also in the room was a desk with a cell phone and a laptop, and to the right was another door, probably to the bathroom. To the left were windows, huge open windows that looked out to the beach, and a door that led to the porch. As I glanced around the room, my eyes locked on something on the nightstand, a box that had Jacob's name on it in bold letters.
I looked at Jacob, who was looking at the box with a confused expression. He set me down on my feet gently and walked over to it. He opened the box and laughed.
"What is it?" I asked walking towards him.
"Something I should have expected," He said holding up a little package. "Protection."
I laughed running my hand over the bed. The comforter felt like satin but was extremely fluffy.
"This place is amazing." I murmured.
"Yea, they did great."
I looked away from the bed and at Jacob; he was looking at me and smiling.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked jokingly.
"Because I'm married to you." He stated plainly.
I smiled back then put my hand on his cheek softly, showing him exactly what I wanted.
"Oh, that could be arranged."
"Jake, don't forget to grab the key." I yelled to the house.
"I got it, I got it!" He ran out of the house in his swim trunks and jumped in the boat. I was already in and getting ready to kneeboard. I slid off the back and pushed away from the boat, already ready on the board.
He slowly started gained speed until I was ready. I quickly grabbed the rope and pulled back, settling in. I twisted and turned making the board jump the waves. "How're you doing back there?!" Jacob yelled.
"Awesome!" I yelled back. He did a sharp turn, sending me flying in the air.
I landed bouncing across the waves as he stopped.
"My turn!" he yelled.
I quickly swam back, towing the kneeboard with me. He was already in the water swimming to me. I reached him and kissed him. He kissed me back eagerly but ended it and grabbed the kneeboard. "Now, don't kill me." he said laughing.
"Sure, sure." I replied jumping in the boat.
"Ready?!" I yelled back.
"Yea!" He yelled in return. I slowly gained speed, looking back to make sure he was doing okay.
I sped up enough so he could get in the groove. He was quickly up and jumping the waves. I did one of the turns he did on me and watched as he flew in the air, not nearly as high as I went, but high enough. He skidded across the waves as I stopped.
"How was that?" I asked as he climbed in the boat, pulling in the rope and board.
"That was AWESOME!" he exclaimed collapsing in the driver's seat. I finished pulling in the rope.
"Let's go relax now."
Jacob threw me over his shoulder and hopped out of the boat, running back to the house. I laughed as he ran into the house and tossed me on the loveseat. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. Jacob went to the kitchen and returned with two glasses of ice cold water. He handed me mine and we drank deeply. My lips were cold when I finished drinking my water, so I pressed them to Jacob's skin.
"Whoa! That's cold!" He jumped.
I laughed. "Sorry, they're cold."
He laughed and kissed me. My lips warmed up as he kissed me, but his lips were cold too. A few minutes later my lips were warm again, Jacob continued kissing me.
My already fast beating heart sped up a bit. Suddenly he pulled away. I opened my eyes and looked into his. His was smiling widely, his eyes wild.
I put my hand to his cheek quickly.
His smile widened as he jumped up and picked me up, taking me to the bedroom. We were both still in our bathing suits and still wet, but I didn't care. He laid me gently onto the edge of the bed, kissing me eagerly. (Start reading the detailed part now) We spent the rest of the afternoon and night in each other's love.
