AN: Sorry this is late, I came home from school, then my sister (aka Alice) told me we had to go back right away to do some volunteer work for a drama competition (I'm really glad i did go early though 'cause i met some really nice people... all boys xD). By the time I remembered about Forbidden Friday (reminder on my phone every friday), it was too late :( sorry guys... and this is a really short chapter. I'll put the "making up to you" thing at the bottom since I know you're dying to read xD enjoy!
29. SEATTLE
I woke up the same way I fell asleep: Jacob's arms around me, my head on his chest and his cheek on my head. I could still hear his quick heartbeat. I smiled to myself and touched each features of him, from his black, spiky hair, his beautiful onyx eyes, his nose, his soft lips, all this was mine, and always will be.
I remembered the time when people thought I wasn't pretty enough for anyone, when all the boys I wanted, I repelled. Now, here with me was the most beautiful man, and he was mine and no one else's. He loved me, and I loved him.
I got a little mischievous and kissed him. It was odd until he finally responded back and put his arms around my waist.
"Good morning," I whispered.
"I want to wake up to that every day." I smiled and blushed.
"Good, because I'll be doing that often." He smiled.
"I like the sound of that." He pulled my head close again to kiss him, we stayed that way until his stomach started to growl.
"Are you hungry?" He asked. I laughed and nodded.
Jacob suddenly had a worried and confused face on and jumped out of the trunk.
"Jake, where are you going?" There was a cooler full of food that Jacob and I ate out of yesterday for the next two nights.
"Someone's been here..." I raised my eyebrows and watched him pace, trying to find the scent's strongest point.
"Anyone we know?" I wouldn't have been surprised if any of the Calhouns passed by, but I'd probably be pissed if one of Jacob's pack members did. He shook his head.
"No..." My heart beat faster in worry. "Leech, but not someone familiar..."
"Should we head back?" My heart sunk a little, even though I didn't have an answer yet.
"No, Ness." He walked to me and took my hands in his. "I'm not going back on my promise, I've broken enough of them already."
"But if we have to-"
"We don't, Nessie. Besides, I'm sure the pack already knows so I don't have to phase. I'm not going back on my promises anymore."
I couldn't believe it. Jacob was being so much more sincere and loyal than before. All for a promise he made. I smiled and kissed his hands.
"Thank you, Jake."
As we drove to Seattle, we listened to our playlist of songs again. When we were off the twenty minute ride on the ferry, we drove around to find a parking spot so we could walk around. Jacob said he didn't have a plan, I was okay with that though.
We passed by places I recognized from movies, malls, and a lot of cafes.
We stopped by a cafe that looked good, I got a hot chocolate, as I always do, and Jacob got a coke. We payed for ourselves because I wanted Jacob spending as little money on me as possible, Jacob respected that.
Jacob looked for a clock from time to time when we went somewhere, I didn't realize it until now.
"Don't tell me you're giving me a curfew." Jacob looked at me blankly, I disturbed a thought.
"What?"
"I could be mistaken, but you keep looking for the time." He chuckled and drank his coke.
"I was actually going to surprise you." I raised an eyebrow. He smiled and chugged down his coke, took my hand and we ran outside.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see!"
We kept running, I was behind him the whole time since I was slower than him. We thankfully didn't have to run for long because we reached a building.
I recognized what it was almost instantly. I stopped and smiled. Jacob dug in his pocket and pulled out what looked like tickets.
"Two tickets, to Romeo and Juliet." I covered my mouth so I wouldn't have to scream. I jumped into his arms and kissed him a million times.
"How did you remember my favourite Shakespearian play?" He chuckled.
"To be honest, I just guessed."
I laughed after rolling my eyes playfully, and we walked into the theatre.
The play turned out to be a parody, which made Jacob's choice even better. The whole play made us laugh, and at the romantic scenes, Jacob would squeeze my hand and sometimes kiss my head. But during the performance, I realized I really missed something, I was jealous of the actors and their roles, for making me laugh... I missed performing.
I missed making people laugh, preparing for performances and cheering when you hear a promotion for the show and telling everyone to go because you're in it. I missed it, I really didn't.
At the intermission, Jacob and I stayed in our seats. My head on his shoulder and his on my head and his arm around my shoulders. He moved so he could speak in my ear.
"When was the last time you were ever happy?" I looked at him and frowned.
"What are you talking about? I'm having a great time." He chuckled.
"No, I mean before you met me." I bit my lip, but instantly thought about my last performance in the musical business.
"Um... I think when I was in my sophomore year... Then again, it was the worst and best time I had then." Jacob turned his torso toward me, arm still there.
"I'm listening."
"Well, actually it was my first school musical." He smiled. "What?"
"Nothing, I just thought back to the time when you told me about Sweeney Todd on our first date." I giggled to cover my blush. "Go on, what was it? Maybe I heard of it."
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The teachers wanted something biblical and historical for the school, even though there's only two female roles in the whole play, except the wives... well, in my school's case, three."
"Three?"
"Yeah, they made an extra part for me because they couldn't decide on the narrator role, Alice or me. So, they split it so I could do all the acting and funny parts, and she would just sing."
"So... If Alice had your acting skills, or you had her voice, either one of you would've had the role to yourselves?" I nodded.
"That's right, but Alice never want to believe that, she's too proud for her own good." He laughed, I continued. "Anyways, we were in the same musical before as background singers two years before and we knew the play by heart. In school, it was one of the best times of my life because we grew as a family... we loved each other like one... well, there were people I hate to this day that make the memory bad though..."
"Like who?" I paused.
I wasn't sure if I could talk about my old love life again, I hated telling this story because the memory was too much. I always told the shorter, less painful, version. But since I loved Jacob, I figured I may as well tell him the whole thing. I had nothing to lose, right?
I finally spoke. "There was this girl, Ruby, she took over everything, harmonies, choreography..." I looked at his fake understanding of my theatre words. "Singing and dancing..." The confusion was gone now and replaced it with understanding. "Anyways, I liked this guy who was supposed to be my best friend, then she kind of stole him away from me whenever we were together... that or he ignored me the whole time because he thought his friendship with her was worth more, for whatever reason, either way, they're both guilty. Anyways, one day, she ruined our friendship by asking if I liked him in a game of Ultimate Truth."
"Ouch..." I nodded.
"I still hate her to this day for it... for everything. Even Marie hates her and she doesn't even know her."
"Even I hate her." My eyebrows lowered in confusion. I didn't expect this reaction from Jacob.
"You don't even know who I'm talking about." He took my face in his hands.
"I hate her for hurting you like that. She had no right to ruin your friendship, or even your best memories." I teared up a little and touched his hands while smiling a little.
"Thank you, Jake." He smiled crookedly and kissed my head, then my head went back on his shoulder in our original position as lights dimmed for the second act. I thought Jacob finished, but he kept talking, whispering.
"I'll won't let anyone hurt you, Nessie. I promise. Not Ruby, not Kyle, or even that guy who let you slip from his hands, he's an idiot. I love you, and nothing will change that. I promise you." He turned my head so I could face him and take him seriously, what he said yes, almost sounded like a marriage proposal, only better, it was a promise we would both keep. "I love you, forever and always, Renesmee Carlie Cullen. I promise nothing will change that."
"I love you, too, Jake." I whispered. His eyes widened, it was the first time I told him I loved him. "I will as long as you want me."
"Well then, you'll have me for a long time."
