Chapter 15: Date

Nessie's POV

What had I done? How had I allowed myself to be talked into this? Why had I allowed him to talk me into this? Jacob was very persuasive and annoying persisted when he wanted to be. I had to admit that I found all of his attempts to ask me out rather charming. Eventually I gave in and said yes.

Which is why I was in the situation that I was in right now. Trying to figure out what I should wear for my date. Alice and Rosalie had plenty of different ideas on how I should dress. The whole process was a little overwhelming for a girl like me. Couldn't I just go in jeans and a t shirt?

Eventually I grabbed one of the outfits that Alice suggested and went into the bathroom to change. I grimaced when I saw the bruises I had been successfully hiding for the past five days. When I'd gotten home from my reunion with Will Sr I'd been horrified to discover that there were bruises all over my body. I didn't know what happened. Had Will done this? He'd never hurt me intentionally or accidentally before. So I have been using the makeup that Alice had given me awhile back to carefully conceal all the bruises. Thankfully they'd mostly healed on their own by now.

I started getting dressed and was shocked when I had a hard time getting my clothes on. I looked in the mirror and was surprised to see a very small bump starting to form around my stomach area. It was small but noticeable. Had it been there a few hours ago? I shrugged it off. Ever since I'd come to the live with the Cullen family I had been eating very well. It was only natural to assume that I'd put on a few pounds in the process. Eventually I was able to zip up the dress.

I finished my makeup as quickly as I could. Alice had insisted on doing my makeup herself but I refused. I liked doing my own makeup.

"Mommy pretty!" Little Will smiled at me.

I picked up my little boy and hugged him tight.

"Are you going to see daddy?"

His question caught me completely off guard. Why on Earth would he suspect something like that? Had I let it slip that I'd seen Will Sr.? No. I was very secretive about that. I was sure I hadn't let it slip to anyone.

I went downstairs to where Jacob was waiting for me. "Wow you look so beautiful,"

I blushed at his words. "Um thanks. You look nice to," I blushed even more for some reason. "Well let's go already,"

He laughed. "Ever so eager aren't you,"

"Oh don't flatter yourself Jacob. I only agreed to this so you can't stop being so damn persistent, stubborn, and annoying,"

"I influence you that strongly?" We were already outside by this point.

"Like I said before don't flatter yourself," Okay so yes he didn't infuence my emotions in a lot of different ways. How can he be so dambln irritating and irresistible at the same time.

"Come on Nessie I can't be that bad can i?"

"I'd rather date a bloodsucking vampire than you," I tried to make my tone of voice as lighthearted as I could. Yet his body went rigid for some reason. "Oh come on Jake it was just a joke. Because, you know, vampires don't exist,"

"Joke, right,"

"So what do you have planned for tonight?" I asked him.

"I was thinking dinner and maybe a movie afterwards. Unless you're that repulsed by me then we can just stick to dinner and end the evening early,"

"Who said I wanted to end the evening early?"

He shook his head. "You are impossible to figure out Renesmee,"

I scoffed. "Me? I'm impossible to figure out? You're leaving your wife and your eight children for no apparent reason. You say that you want me but offer no explanation as to why since we barely know each other. You have secrets designed to keep me up at night but I'm the one who is impossible to figure out?"

"Yup that pretty much sums it up," Jacob smiled. "Now let's go eat I'm hungry,"

"Yes let's go," I was hungry myself.

I had no idea where Jacob was taking me. That was until he pulled up to a Mexican restaurant. I had to admit that being with Jacob wasn't the absolute worst thing on the planet. Actually I rather enjoyed being with him when we weren't talking about all the secrets he was keeping from me.

Secrets. It felt like everyone was keeping secrets from me. Jacob, Will Sr., the Cullens. It was all so frustrating all of these secrets. But I tried to let all of that go and just enjoy the moment. I devoured my burrito, beans, and chips. I didn't realize how hungry I actually was until I started eating.

Afterward we went to the movies, just as he had promised. Everything was fine until about halfway through the movie when I was hit by a sudden, intense wave of nausea. It passed almost as quickly as it came. Then it happened again. This time it was so intense that I jumped right out of my seat and bolted right to the women's bathroom. There was an angry protest from the line of people I had cut in front of. But I barely made it to the stall in time. I shot the door. Then vomited.

I held my stomach, the very tiny bump, and continued to throw up. I must've eaten something bad. Maybe there was something wrong with the food at the restaurant. I was not until five, maybe even ten minutes later that the vomiting stopped and the nausea went away. I felt so much better. I flushed the toilet and once I was confident I wouldn't throw up again I left and went to the sink to rinse out my mouth.

Jacob was waiting outside with a very worried expression on his face. I wasn't even aware that he had followed me.

"Nessie are you okay? Do I need to take you to Carlisle?"

"I'm fine,"

"But you were-"

"I'm fine Jacob. Probably just ate something bad. Speaking of eating I'm hungry again. Why don't we go get pizza and hot dogs?"

"Pizza and hot dogs?"

Pizza and hot dogs sounded really good right now. Followed by ice cream and doughnuts.

"and then let's get ice cream and doughnuts afterwards,"

"Pizza, hot dogs, doughnuts, and ice cream?" He looked at me like I had lost my mind.

"I have cravings," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.
