CHAPTER 37

A new way of melting snow

I didn't sleep very well during the night. Poor Jacob didn't get any sleep as I was tossing and turning. I heard Lottie puke her guts up a few times then she had settled.

I kept thinking about how my parents reacted to such a simple decision. I knew it was more deep rooted than that. I understand how they felt a little resentment as they felt they didn't have long with me. But they should know that I would never be far away.

Did they hate me for accepting Jacob's proposal?

I knew now that I would always be with Jacob no matter what. Whether I got married next year or ten years from now then it would never have mattered to me. I loved him no matter what. And I loved my Mom and Dad. But Dad could be so stubborn and pigheaded. I should be allowed to make my own choices now. I should be allowed that much.

The sun shone through the curtains as it began to rise for another day. I got up and wiped my hair out of my forehead. Cuddling into Jacob sometimes made me a little sweaty! I got up to peered out the window. The sun bounced off the snow which looked crisp and clean. I could make out the footprints that were made when my family left last night. I felt sad. I could hear one of our phones vibrate. "Nessie?" Jacob asked groggily. "Are you ok?"

I nodded. "I'll be fine. Just pissed off."

"I get that," Jacob quickly looked at his phone. "I imagine they will be here soon. Bella has just text me to ask if that was ok." I turned to face him. "Do you think that will be ok?"

"Only Mom and Dad. Alice was interfering. Just tell them to come now; get it out the way." I replied monotone. Jacob's fingers were a blur as he responded. I grabbed the white robe on the back of the door and went downstairs. Keith had been busy during the night and had been cleaning up whilst looking after his honey. I quickly peered into the living room and the boys who were comatose; were still comatose. I noticed blankets were over each one. I walked into the dining room to find it spotless and Jacob had a pot of steaming coffee for me. I had come to like it very much as Lottie loved her coffee and the coffee that she had imported from the UK was very nice. He poured me a cup as the front door opened and closed. I sat down with my back to the door and I could hear it open as two silent footsteps entered.

"Hello Nessie," Mom said quietly.

"Nessie," Dad said sombrely.

I didn't say anything. I was in my white robe sipping my coffee with me leg crossed over the other. Jacob sat next to me and poured a cup for himself. I could see him stifle a yawn.

"Nessie, we are so sorry for last night. We were so wrong," Mom sat down on the chair across from me. She leaned her elbows against the table.

I snapped my head towards my Father. "And do you feel the same?" I said in a dead voice.

Dad looked surprised at how 'dead' I sounded. I could tell by his face. "I do," he said genuinely. "I am very sorry for last night. We overreacted."

"Did Rose talk to both?"

"Yes," Mom replied. "She told us her theory and she is right. Maybe we do resent the fact that we haven't had that much time with you. It had never really bothered me until last night. Even after you were engaged. We have only had you in our lives for five years."

"We also, no, I also handled it badly," Dad started. "Threatening to ban you from seeing people, school was definitely not the right way to handle it. And you should do that class as long as you are careful. Which we know that you would be."

"We spoke all night with Rose and Carlisle. We want you to know that we will never to this again, we will treat you as an adult as that is what you are," Mom looked down to her hands.

"You must understand though Mom, Dad. You will always be a part of me. I will always be around even when I am married to Jacob, we will always be here. I love you both very much and I realise how hard this is for you. But I am still so angry."

"Will you come home?" Dad asked.

I thought for a moment. "No. Trust has been broken. You broke my heart last night," I felt tears roll down my cheeks before I could stop them. "You both did. The way you both threatening me with things. I don't think I can come home just now," I looked at them firmly. "The way you both wouldn't let go of me. It hurt!"

They both rushed over. "We are so sorry," Mum cried. I didn't react to their touch, I just stayed there. Like a stone cold statue. They released me when they realised when I wasn't reciprocating their cuddles.

"Oh god Nessie!" Dad was on his knees, his hands on my knees. "Please forgive me darling. I didn't know I did that."

"Neither did I!" Mom cried again. She paced back and forth quickly, head in hands. "I hurt my daughter! I hurt my daughter!" she was almost screaming.

"Bella, there is no bruising, you just squeezed a little too tight," Jacob said from his seat.

I kept my arms folded as Mom and Dad were falling apart. "I am not mad at you for this and I know it was unintentional. I am mad at the way you handled things. I am not ready to come home just yet."

"I am so ashamed Renesmee," Dad's bottom lip quivered. "You are an adult. When you feel safe-"

"Its not about 'safe' Dad. But it's what you both did to hurt me. Threatening to pull me out of school and all. That's why I don't want to come home. Jacob isn't even angry about it. But I am hurt at the emotional pain I went through last night. That's why I am angry."

Dad stood up in shock. "I understand."

"Do you?" I asked. "I accept your apology about last night, but trust has to be built up again. You broke it last night."

"We did," Mom sat back down on the chair. "I am so sorry. We will never treat you like that again."

"No never," Dad stated. "But we want to spend more time with you. You go to school, spend time with your friends, Jacob-"

"Yes, and I realised that last night when Rose and Jacob both said to me. I understand that you may be feeling a little resentful with me growing up so fast but you both knew it was going to happen. You need to let me live," I almost pleaded.

Mom and Dad both nodded. "We know," they both said together.

I folded my arms again and looked down at the table. I took another sip of my coffee. "Ok. I am going to stay here for a few days. I need time to cool off," I looked at both of them. "I will come home," I reassured. "I just need some time."

"Ok," Dad said quietly.

"I'll ask Rose to drop of some clothes," Mom added. "How much will you need?"

"I don't know," I twiddled with the tie on my bathrobe.

"I'll ask her to drop off a suitcase" Mom's voice cracked. "We are so sorry Ness, we truly are."

"Ok," I replied quietly. I could see from the corner of my eye that they both looked at each other then stood up.

"Jake?" Mom looked at him.

"She will be fine," he replied. "She can stay here or stay with me," he tested the waters.

"I don't think that would be a good idea," Dad stood up, chair scraping the floor. I turned my head at him; that is exactly what I mean! I thought. He looked at me and his face softened, taking a breath. "Ness can do what she wants," he replied. "Sorry. I need to learn to control myself," he balled up his fists. I suppose it was a start.

He took Mom's hand and they walked slowly out the room. I didn't turn to see them leave; I remained stoic.

The front door opened then shut. Jacob walked back in and put his hands on my shoulders. I burst into tears when I knew that Dad and Mom were a good distance away. "Hey Ness, its ok," he took the cup from me and scooped me into his arms and took me upstairs.

I laid my head into his strong shoulder. "You are taking this very well."

"I have learned not to get involved with how your parents raise you. If they had tried to ban you from seeing me then we would have had issues. And I am actually impressed with Rose. She is not a bad person. Don't tell her that!" he said the last part quickly. "Look, you know what I think; you rarely argue with your parents so arguments now are bound to happen. You have laid down the law so to speak. They feel really bad, and they so do."

"Really?"

"Hell yeah, I think you need some time to calm down. You can stay here or with me."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you can stay over with me."

"In your bed?"

Jacob paused for a moment. "If you wanted to," he smiled. "In fact I would like it if you did that."

"Really?" I asked again.

"Yep, anytime." I snuggled into his chest as we reached my room. He placed me carefully on the bed. "I need to find Sam to get a quick low down. I want you to try and get some sleep. I very much doubt there are going to be people up at the moment," he stroked my forehead. "I don't think you should leave your parents hanging too long honey. They know they did wrong and they have apologised."

I never responded to him as I closed my eyes.

My dreams were fretful as I tossed and turned. I kept dreaming that Mom and Dad were out of reach. I wanted them close by but they just weren't there. Lottie was in the background who was repeatedly being sick with Keith rubbing her back. Jacob was holding my hand not saying a word. I tried to speak but no words came out.

I woke up with a jolt, feeling groggy and discombobulated (Jacob's word of the day toilet paper, he never used it as he thought it was funny), I felt around for Jacob but I knew he wouldn't be there. I wiped the hair out of my eyes again and looked around for my phone. It was late afternoon and I still felt tired.

I stumbled into the shower which woke me up a little. I was feeling bad now about how I spoke to my parents but I felt justified in doing so. Once I did my thing I trailed my way downstairs to find the people down there looking like Shawn of the Dead. Lottie was curled up on the far sofa, wrapped in a thick red blanket, hair everywhere holding a glass of water which was trembling. "Wow," I said. "You look a picture of health."

Lottie looked up and grunted. "Fire bad, tree pretty." I picked up the Buffy ref. I looked around to find Seth now leaning against the wall cradling a bucket with a blanket wrapped around him. Quil and Embry were sleeping leaning against each other. They all had glasses of water next to each of them. Paul and Jared weren't there. "Rachel and Kim…home," Lottie mumbled. I sat down across from her.

"Rough are we?" Lottie just gave me a look. I leaned over to show her what had happened last night right through to this morning. Lottie's eyes widened at each little memory.

She took a small sip of her water. "I agree with Rose and Jacob. That they were alright about you being engaged but realised they wouldn't get to be spending as much time with you. Judging by their reactions this morning they are truly sorry. Don't leave it too long. They know that have done wrong and handled it badly. They are sorry now."

"I know they are but they have broken my trust. It's meant to be me that causes all the friction, I am the teenager after all, but I have never needed to cause drama or anything like that."

"I agree that they have broken your trust but never leave things. Believe me, I know," Lottie looked down into her glass. "You can stay here for as long as you want, you know that but don't leave it too long with them."

"I am so angry at them though."

"I know. But there is something that is totally right; I would have broke you out," she smiled weakly. "Ugh." Lottie suddenly shut her eyes.

"Headache?"

"Mmm mmm," she rubbed at her temple. "My fault though, I think I am going back to bed. I don't know if I can cope with natural light," she giggled then winced again.

I smiled back. "Cool, well if you don't mind me staying, then I shall be back later, or…" I trailed off.

"Or?"

"I could stay at Jacob's overnight."

"I think you should. You could do with some lumpy bumpy!" Lottie laughed then winced again.

"Lottie!" she shrugged to show she didn't care. "You are right though. I could do with a good seeing to."

"There is no curfew here so you can do as you please. But I am heading to bed. Keith has gone to his house for a kip seeing as he had all of us to look after."

I stood up, I was raring to go now. "Oh and by the way, I will be going to that class with you."

"Good."

I looked at her pathetic state. "Do you need help getting upstairs?"

Lottie shook her head. "Nah, I am going to die right here," she let go of the glass which floated in mid-air then shakily made its way onto the coffee table. She flopped herself onto a large pillow and closed her eyes.

I left through the front door after grabbing my mobile and I ran flat out to Jacob's. I had picked out an ensemble that Mom or whoever had packed in suitcase that was left downstairs for me. I was wearing a black capped sleeved back long top with a large sequinned butterfly at the breast. I had teamed it with light blue skinny jeans. I had worn my timberlands because the snow was now almost two feet deep. Snowflakes had been steadily flowing.

Rose had given me something I thought was quite cute. She had given me a plastic see through mac coat with a full hood that could be tightened with a black cord. It was teamed with a pair of plastic matching trousers to wear over my clothes. It was funny looking but it was practical for hunting and running in conditions like this. I ripped off the tags and put the waterproofs on. It creaked and squeaked as I ran but I found it quite funny. I made it to Jacob's within five minutes to find the house very quiet.

That was because some of its tenants were currently passed out at Lottie's.

I stopped to find my familiar heartbeat. He was in his room; sleeping. The sound of his steady breathing told me this. I wanted him but I didn't want to wake him. I felt bad. I had kept him up, he had been patrolling. I bet he was really tired.

Do I go in?

I turned around to head back when I heard a noise behind me. I swivelled around and peered into the trees. I listened and I could hear another heartbeat, faster; running on adrenaline. I stepped forward, my outerwear creaking as I did so. I looked down the road and I could see a familiar black car peeping out from the trees, as if it was hiding.

Oh god!

Had he followed me? "Ethan?" I whispered. "I know you are there," I hissed.

He stepped out from behind the trees, he was wearing a thick black jacket, black waterproofs and thick boots. He stalked towards me through the thick snow with his hands behind his back. I took a step back as I felt shivers run down my spine. "You appeared from nowhere," he looked around. "Like lightening," he trailed off.

I looked around for exit points. It was too open for me to run away from him, there was no one in sight as the road had been ploughed and gritted but with it being Boxing Day the roads were quiet.

And Jacob was sleeping.

I stood my ground. I stood up straighter. I knew he couldn't actually hurt me but risk my whole family's secret. "Why are you here?" I spoke clearly.

Ethan took a step forward. "There is a funny smell coming from my car, I wanted to see if the garage here could check it out," he said nonchalantly.

I narrowed my eyes. "It's Boxing Day. It is quite obvious that the garage would be shut."

Ethan looked down for a moment. "I thought he wouldn't mind looking at it," he lied.

"You know Jacob is my boyfriend," I stated.

Ethan looked towards my left hand. "Oh I think he is much more than that?" he said eerily.

"Yes, he is."

"Congratulations then," he took a step forward. His hands moved to his side as I could hear something slipping down and clunk into his hand. I took another step back.

I folded my arms. I was getting sick of this. "Look, are you following me?"

"Maybe," he whispered. His head was tilted down but his eyes looked up at me making him look really evil. "I know you…you people did something to my car that day-"

"What, when you put dead animals on ours?"

"I thought it was funny, and nothing more than you people deserve,"

"You people?" I spat.

"Yes. Fake, phoney, happy people. I hate people like that," he said in a quiet voice. "You are one of those people."

"Happy? Yeah, I'm happy," I said cheerily. JACOB! I shouted out in my head. WHERE ARE YOU? I tried to change tack. "What happened to you to make you like this?"

"What? Normal?"

I snorted. "Ethan, you are anything but normal. From day one we tried to be your friend and you knocked us back. You have been cruel to people and just plain nasty. You are quite frankly one of the lowest of the low I have ever met," I looked down on him.

"Don't you dare speak to me like that," he growled. "If you must know," he took a step forward. "My girlfriend cheated on me with the school jock. She hurt me so much that I never want to feel that way again."

"And that gave you the right to set the school on fire causing harm to her?" I hissed. JACOB! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU! I shouted in my mind.

"Oh yes, and she got what she deserved; she will never have her looks again," he sounded out a single laugh. "And I managed to hurt a few other people I the process," he chuckled. "And I have no issues with hurting people here either," I saw something shining in his right hand. "I have no issues in hurting you and your band of merry men," he sneered.

JACOB! I shouted out in my mind again with more force.

Ethan took a step forward as the front door opened suddenly as Jacob ran out across the road in nothing but his joggers. I turned to see his face contort with rage and fury as he struggled not to phase in front of Ethan. He literally roared as his right hand reached out to grab me back as he stood in front of me. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" he roared again as his strong arm encased me behind him. I could see Ethan slip the metal object back into his jacket.

"Ethan," he replied coolly. "I came here to see if you would check out my car. It has a funny odour coming from it."

"I could hear you practically threaten Nessie. Why are you really here" Jacob demanded. "And what's that in your hand?" Jacob was at his full height, Ethan cowering in front of him.

"Nothing!" Ethan stepped back. He put his hands up in the air; he had hidden whatever he had before.

"It is Boxing day you freak-"

"Don't. Call. Me. A. Freak," Ethan growled as he lowered his hands.

"You threatened my Fiancé. You're lucky I haven't ripped out your spine."

"Oh, you think you Quileute's are so scary."

"That's because I am. NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY!" Jacob stepped forward with his fist balled in front of him. Ethan stumbled back into a tree. "AND IF YOU EVER COME NEAR NESSIE AND HER FRIENDS I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL FEEL A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF PAIN!" he pointed his finger at Ethan.

Ethan looked at Jacob and me wide eyed. He looked genuinely scared as Jacob was breathing heavily, trying to control himself. Jacob was also showing his teeth. I looked at my honey and saw the completely feral side to him. I gripped onto his hard right arm, making sure he didn't actually harm Ethan. He was breathing so deeply that when he exhaled; he snarled.

"Ok ok! Ethan put his hands up again. "How did you get out here so fast?" He asked as an afterthought.

"Good hearing. Now. I. Want. You. To. LEAVE!"

"Consider me gone," he kept his back to the tree as he shuffled off to his right. He then gave me a dirty look which made Jacob almost lunge for him. Ethan ran tripping over a log that was hidden by the snow. He skidded multiple times as he reached his car.

The car started with a bang as he skidded out his little hiding spot. A puff of black smoke erupted from his exhaust. Jacob pulled me into his muscular arms. "Are you alright?" I breathed a sigh of relief. "Yeah, he came from nowhere. I reckon he was spying." Jacob pulled his right arm from me and rubbed his temple. "Hey….are you alright?"

"Yeah," Jacob closed his eyes. "I heard you shouting, that's why I came out but it gave me a bit of a headache."

I looked at Jacob curiously. "Um, Jacob? I didn't shout out."

He looked at me in confusion. "Eh?"

"I didn't shout you. I was shouting you in my head but I thought you would be able to hear us."

"But I heard you as if you were shouting in my ear; its what woke me up."

I looked at him in confusion. "I got nothing," I shrugged my shoulders.

Jacob took my hand and let me towards the house but suddenly stopped. "Mmm…"

I almost banged into him as he stopped. "What?"

"If you didn't shout out, and I thought I heard you as if you shouted in my ear, then maybe you did shout out but in your head-"

"Jacob," I sighed in frustration. "I already told you that."

"No Ness!" he grabbed me by the shoulders. "Maybe you did shout but using your mind. Don't you see? You can project your memories, your thoughts, your demands onto us, right? You can now get other people's memories by touching them and have a full blown conversation. You can now do that in an offensive manner, but what if this is you using it as a defence? What if you can shout for someone using purely your thoughts?"

"You think I can actually do that?" I asked sounding quite shocked.

Jacob nodded enthusiastically. "I was in a deep sleep, you were shouting as if you were right beside me and believe me Ness, it was so loud," he waved his hand by his ear to emphasis the point. "Purely defensive! And if you hadn't, he would have pulled that knife he was holding, although I think you would have been able to look after yourself."

I thought for a moment. "But it would have been from my vampire strength. It would have exposed us all."

"He wouldn't have gotten very far. If I didn't reach him then I am sure you Father…" he trailed off, making a face. "I don't think I would have stopped him either." My heart gave a little pang for my Dad.

"Then I definitely need to learn self-defence. This proves it and he is only human."

"I agree," Jacob nodded. "I think I need to mention something to Edward."

"Not right now!" I said quickly. "I did actually come to see you."

"I know, but how are you now, especially after that?"

"Fine," Jacob gave me a look. "Honestly! The guy creeps me out but I think you scared him off good and proper," I smiled at him.

"I may have ripped him a new one but its not to say he may try something different. You can't let your guard down with him," he took my chin with is two fingers. "I wouldn't want anything to happen to you," he kissed me tenderly. "Now, tell me how you were going to wake me up and what the hell are you wearing?"

I looked down at my plastic get up. "Don't you dare mock Mr Black. It keeps my clothes dry! And as for waking you up, and making fun of my waterproofs then I would be shouting in your ear" I grabbed and pulled his left ear.

"Hey!" he swatted me away then picked me up into his arms. "Now lets see if this plastic get up is easy to get you out of."

I giggled, the past five minutes temporarily wiped from my mind as Jacob carried me indoors and upstairs to his room. He placed me onto the floor carefully and undid my jacket. I looked over to his strewn bed covers and smiled. He peeled the plastic Mac from my shoulders then he rolled down the plastic trousers. He picked me up under the arms and threw me onto the bed with me in a cloud of giggles, making me forget.

Jacob climbed on top of me and clasped both of my hands. His fingers found my engagement ring as he moved it from side to side. "Now we can celebrate like we should have done last night," he kissed me tenderly along my collarbone sending my tingle into full frenzy. His kisses reached to my jaw line then to my lips. His tongue asked for entry and I let him in. His hands reached underneath my top and in one quick movement it was over my head. He undid the button of my jeans and there were off in a moment as well….

Please got to fiction pad for full lemon ;-)

I felt him shake and tremble on top of me then suddenly I erupted as my orgasm spread through me like water over a beach. Jacob held onto me as he shuddered then shuddered again. He kissed me quick back along my collarbone and along the tops of my breasts.

"Oh Nessie, sorry for being so quick but I wanted to violate you since last night."

I giggled. "Violate me?"

"Oh hell yeah," he said breathlessly. "I love 'violating' you," he chuckled.

I raised my head up to listen out for other people. "Jacob, there is definitely no one about, is there?"

"Nope," he pronounced the p.

"Give me a second to clean up." Jacob removed himself carefully and I jumped up to the bathroom. I cleaned myself up and grabbed his black dressing gown. I practically jumped out the bathroom, to his bedside cabinet to grab a few condoms and shoved them into the pocket of his dressing gown.

"What are you doing?" Jacob leaned over onto his elbow.

"You definitely sure that no one is here? Outside? In here?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you fancy melting some snow?" the corner of my mouth flicked up.

I could see the cogs working overtime in Jacob's brain as suddenly there wasn't enough blood to allow it to function as something else was springing to attention. He grinned slowly. He practically jumped six feet in the air as he grabbed his cut offs. He slid them on quickly and leaped over the bed to me. "I would love the thought of melting some snow. Where are you thinking?"

"Just in the garden," I said innocently. Jacob flashed his shiny white teeth. He picked me up again, walked with meaning over to the right side of the room, unlatched the window and he carefully stepped out holding onto me carefully as he stepped out onto the large ledge, then jumped down with grace into the two foot deep snow. He had to walk with his knees almost to the small of my back as the snow was quite deep in places. He, again placed me down to my feet. My feet melting through the snow like a hot knife thought butter. I flung my robe off and Jacob ripped off his cut offs. I reached up to touch the snowflakes that were falling again; I could make out each individual flake with each individual point which shone in the dull sun. I looked down at my hands and I could see the faint glow emanate from me. I looked at my left hand; the diamond shining the brightest out of everything in this snow strewn garden.

"You are so beautiful Nessie. You truly are," Jacob looked at me in awe. He took a step forward to move a lock out of my face. "You are so amazing and I am so lucky to have you. I love you so much," he flashed his smile.

"I love you too," I replied.

Jacob stepped forward; I thought I was the brightest thing in the garden but the snow contrasted so well against Jacob's skin, he stood out more. He was truly magnificent. "What? What are you staring at?" Jacob asked a little self-consciously.

I looked up at him and huffed out a breath. "I was admiring how beautiful you are," my smile never leaving my face. I trailed a forefinger from the hollow of his neck down to the gathering of hair just below the v of his hips. "You truly are magnificent." I reached down to touched him. Jacob moaned as he closed his eyes. He crossed the gap between us, wrapping his arms all the way around me. I loved feeling his skin on mine. His hands reached down there and I almost erupted there and then. "Oh!" I shouted. Jacob stopped and moved so he was above me. "Oh Jacob!" I moaned. "You have no idea-"

"You drive me wild too," he whispered in my ear.

"Oh!" I shouted again. My eyes found the back of my head and my nails drove into his skin on his thighs. Stars exploded in front of my eyes as I reached my peak and Jacob then reached his. Jacob fell back, taking me with him; onto the snow, which now was only half a foot away from the green grass. The snow was falling heavier now but dissipating into droplets of water as they hit our skin. Jacob wrapped his arms around me pulling me in so close and held onto his arms, breathing heavily. He placed gentle kisses on the back of my neck sending shivers down my spine. He moved a lock of hair out of the way and continued to kiss my neck. I opened my eyes to find that we had made a human shaped hole in the snow. The snow was getting deeper but with us not feeling the cold; we weren't bothered. It was a new way of melting snow! From where we were lying, no one would be able to see us. It was like we were hidden from the world. I hadn't noticed but it was getting dark. I felt so comfortable here with my honey. I could hear Jacob's breathing regulate as did mine. "Did you like that?" I whispered.

He nodded into my hair. "Oh yes. You are amazing," he took my cheek and moved it over to kiss me on the lips. He shuffled a little carefully moving himself from me. "I love you so so much."

My smile was ear to ear. "I love you too." I turned around in his arms to face his beautiful face and we kissed.

We laid there for an hour just kissing as it got darker and darker. We hadn't realised until a car pulled into the front. "Shit!" Jacob cursed as he got up quickly to retrieve his cut offs. He found the dressing gown and wrapped it around me kissing me on the nose as he did so. "I'll get you into my room and I will see who it is, I think its Dad." I nodded as he scooped me up in his arms again. I know I could jump up there myself but I knew he liked to be chivalrous. He swiftly jumped up onto the ledge and stepped into his bedroom. He gently placed me onto the floor as he grabbed a T-shirt and ran out the bedroom. I jumped into the shower to clean myself up as there was a few tell-tale grass stains on my knees and thighs. My hair was soaking anyway so I quickly washed it too. I got out, dried myself and wrapped my hair in a towel then got dressed.

I looked out the window to find Billy's truck sitting out there. Oh great, another 'lets take the piss out of Nessie'! after the last time with the panties! I sneaked out the room to head to the lilac room to dry my hair (thank you Rose!) as it was her idea to put some hair products and a hairdryer in there. I got my hair dry and left it to sit naturally.

I left to go tidy my mess in Jacob's room and decided to go downstairs to see Billy. I slowly descended and I knew that Jacob told him what had happened last night as I could see a sympathetic smile on his face. I trotted over to him and embraced him in warm hug. "Hey Billy! How are you? Did you enjoy your meal last night?"

"I did. And I must say congratulations again to you," he said in his deep regal voice. He smiled as I showed him my engagement ring. I sometimes wondered if he wished he was a wolf. "Are you thinking of a date?"

"We haven't thought that far," I admitted. "Just enjoying being engaged," I smiled at Jacob.

"I bet you are. Jacob, you have some grass in your hair," Billy chuckled. Jacob reached up and pulled out a little tuff from behind his ear. How did Billy spot that?

I decided to change the subject. "Hey Billy, I am not much of a cook but would you like to stay for dinner?"

Billy sat back in his chair. "I would love to Ness." I got up to the kitchen and Jacob followed me. "Hey Jake….that's an interesting hole you have in the garden." We looked at each other and giggled.

Once we calmed down we looked at what we could make. "I could make pizza, it doesn't take too long," I suggested.

"Yeah, we can put some stuffing and turkey on it and make it a Christmas pizza," Jacob pulled out the piles of boxes that Esme had left here last night. I got the dough made and flattened out on the surface, Jacob added the sauce and cheese and I put the stuffing and turkey on. We made another two and they were in the oven in less than five minutes. Jacob set the table and I got the drinks ready whilst rotating the pizzas.

Billy was sitting by the tree chatting to Jacob. They had such a good relationship with each other. I leaned against the door frame, watching them. I wish I could forgive my Dad for last night but I just couldn't face doing that right now; I was so angry at him and Mom. A tear rolled down my cheek at the memories of last night. I turned to get the pizzas out and ready and we sat down to have a nice meal just the three of us.

"So Nessie, how did that hole happen in the garden?" Billy asked innocently but with the corners of his mouth turning upwards.

Jacob and I just looked at each other and giggled. "No comment," we both answered at the same time.
