Hello All! Well this took a bit longer than I would have preferred, technical issues, but here we are! Thank you all for continuing to read and comment on these fics, it truly warms my weird heart. I hope you enjoy reading this one, and if not, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon MWA HAHA! ;) Like always I say, I own nothing but my own freaky thoughts!-Liona
Nelly's POV:
I grabbed a cute powder blue sweater out of my closet, "How about this?"
"I really like that one?" Renesmee said sweetly.
"I think something a little darker might work." Alice suggested.
I went back into my closet and kept looking.
Last weekend Leah asked me out on a date after mine and Emmett's fight. I think I would have fainted if it were physically possible! Leah and I have been texting and talking on the phone all week. We decided on a movie, and then afterwards we're going to the park.
I enlisted Alice and Nessie to help me with my outfit. Alice knows fashion and Nessie knows fashion and Leah.
"Ness, what's Leah's favorite color?" I found a burgundy dress that would show off my whole neck, maybe this would work?
"I'm not too sure. I can text Jacob?"
"No! If you ask Jacob then Leah will know, and it'll seem like I'm trying too hard."
"Nelly, your entire closet is on the floor, I think you're already there." Alice started picking up a few of the dresses I had tossed by the window.
"But I don't want her knowing that." I argued. I peeked out my window at the guest house nicknamed "Jake's Dog House." Leah usually stays there with Jacob when she visits, and that's where she currently is now. I swear my heart would be racing if it still worked.
"EJ, Michel!" I wanted my two best friend's opinions too.
The two came running in.
"Nelly!" EJ turned and hid his face in Michel's shoulder, and Michel put a hand over his eyes. "Nel, clothes please!"
I rolled my eyes, "Stop being cry babies." I'm wearing a blue bra and matching underwear, I'm not naked for fuck's sake. "Real fast, I want your opinions on my outfit for tonight."
"How about anything?" EJ was still hiding in Michel's shoulder.
"UH!" I groaned and finally just decided on a simple red blouse and black leather skirt, not too much or too little. I quickly got dressed, and went to go look for my favorite red heels.
"You're clear." Nessie said. The two boys both turned to look at me and smiled.
"You look lovely, Nel." Michel said.
"Leah's going to think so too." EJ walked over and stood next to me as I looked threw my shelves that held all my shoes. "Here, these will look cute, I think." EJ handed me a pare of black pumps with gold trim. "They'll match your eyes."
I smiled wide. I gave EJ a quick kiss on the cheek before taking the shoes and sitting down next to Alice on the couch.
"Can we work on your hair now?" Alice begged.
"Yes, Alice. Michel, can you pick out some jewelry for me?" I like having good luck charms, and wearing something both my favorite boys picked out sounds perfect.
Michel nodded his head, and turned to my dresser to look threw my jewelry box. After a moment he walked over and handed me the gold bangles he had gotten me a few Christmas's ago.
"Thank you." I put my bracelets on, and Alice finished pinning the sides of my hair.
I took one final look at myself in the mirror, and I have to say I do look pretty good.
I heard the front door open, and heard 2 heart beats, Jacob and Leah!
I ran at vampire speed down the stairs, and I stopped in my tracks when I saw my date. Leah looked absolutely stunning! She had a green button up shirt, black jeans that hugged her hips beautifully, and black flats. Did she wear flats just for me? She is almost a foot taller than me, and now if I wanted to kiss her- Calm yourself Nelly! Wait, Jasper and Edward's powers don't work on me thanks to EJ, and I still have no heart beat. Yup, Nel you're clear to keep thinking happy thoughts!
"You look really nice." Leah walked a bit closer to me, and I couldn't stop smiling.
"You look gorgeous." Was that too much? It's the truth, Ah! Maybe I could use Edward's help after all? I looked over to Edward and Bella, they both had such sweet smiles while staring at Leah and me.
"Oh, here. You two can take my car tonight." EJ handed Leah his keys.
"Oh, thanks, EJ. Nelly, did you want to drive?" She asked a bit nervously.
"No, it's fine! I'm still not used to driving here, or in an American car for that matter." Thank goodness I don't go to drive thrus anymore.
"Cool, ok then. Thank you again, EJ." Leah turned to me and held out her hand, "Ready?"
"Uh huh." Was all I could get out as I took Leah's warm hand. I don't care if I can't make words, this is amazing!
Leah and I waved goodbye and headed for the door. Just before I walked out I turned and saw literally every member of the Cullen family staring and smiling at us. I waved at them once more and rolled my eyes.
I bit my lip and followed Leah to the garage.
We arrived at the movie theater fairly early, and managed to get some great seats. This particular theater uses one of it's rooms just to play already released movies that theater members take votes on. Today's movie is Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. We both stayed quiet the whole time we watched the movie, and it was nearing the end when I felt a warm hand brush against mine. I looked over towards Leah, she didn't look away from the screen, but a saw a slight smile on her beautiful lips. I took an unnecessary deep breath, and slowly wrapped my fingers around hers. It's so weird just how different our temperatures were, I half expected a small fog to come off our hands like dry ice. I looked up at Leah again, and this time her attention was completely on me.
I smiled at her, and I couldn't help missing the sensation that would come from my cheeks blushing. I started to notice Leah was beginning to blush enough for the both of us.
The movie ended, and we both walked out of the the theater still holding hands. We left EJ's car parked at the movie lot, and walked the short way to the park. It was late November, so all the trees were a bright yellow and orange, and the ground was scattered with fallen leaves.
"Did you ever jump into piles of leaves when you were a kid?" Leah was the first to break the silence since the theater.
"A lot actually. My older brothers used to throw me in right after they finished raking, and then tell our parents I jumped in myself and messed up their chores. Mum and Dad never believed them." I couldn't help but smirk at those old memories, they seemed like almost a century ago. I can still picture my family's faces and remember their voices, but it was kind of like when you think about a movie you haven't seen since you were a small child.
"I used to do the same thing to my brother, Seth."
"Jacob and Nessie have mentioned him before. I'd love to meet him sometime." Seth sounds like a really great guy.
"That would be really nice."
Another short silence fell as we kept walking under the falling leaves.
"Do you ever miss them, you're family I mean?" Leah asked.
"Maybe a little, but honestly, no. My siblings were mostly teenagers by the time I was born, and my parents worked all the time. I never really got close with anyone until I met, Michel." Michel was the first person I ever made a real connection with. "Until my Highschool years I spent a lot of time alone, well maybe not fully alone, I had a lot of dogs to hang out with."
"Dogs?"
"My mum ran a dog daycare from home, and I would help her out after school. I think that might be why yours and Jacob's scents don't bother me, the dog smell is actually kind of comforting almost."
Leah tightened her grip on my hand, "You know there's something about how you smell that I really like too. When I first started hanging around vampires I couldn't stand the scent, I couldn't even be in the Cullen's house. Over the years, since Renesmee and EJ were born, I barely even notice anything wrong with how vampires smell. It's weird how you can go from hating something on instinct to being almost attracted to it."
I ended up grabbing Leah's arm with my other hand, and pulled myself closer to her. I started thinking about how Jacob and Ness explained imprinting.
"Hey Leah, wouldn't it have been a funny thing if you had imprinted on me while I was human?" The thought of being bound to someone in a cosmic way just seemed incredible to me.
Leah suddenly had a questioning look.
"I mean, I don't know if werewolves can imprint on the same sex, but it might have explained why you and I are so good together? At least, I think we are." I mumbled the last part.
Leah suddenly pulled her arm away, and I got worried that I had done or said something wrong, but Leah quickly wrapped her warm arm around my shoulders. I was stunned for a second, but we both kept walking. I snuggled up into Leah's hold and breathed in her scent.
"You know I spent a really long time trying to imprint. I wanted so badly to be with someone like everyone else I know. I had finally decided I didn't need someone else to make me happy, but right afterwards EJ returned with you and Michel. I only have a second hand point of view of what imprinting is like from the other pack member's minds, but when I saw you that was the closest I've ever come to feeling that way for myself."
Leah's words touched my heart, and I wish I could cry for joy.
Leah stopped walking and then turned to me, "Nelly, I'm really glad I got to meet you, and I want you to know I truly care about you."
I held Leah's hands in mine as I looked up at her, Goddess she's so gorgeously tall, I bit my lip as I tried to think of what to say. I want to tell her how happy I am around her, how I can still somehow feel my heart skip when I look into her eyes, and how I've never felt this way about anyone else but her. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, I felt very warm lips on my ice cold ones.
The kiss was so simple, but held so much. Leah pulled me close and wrapped her arms around my ribs. I draped one arm over her shoulder, and tangled my other hand in her dark hair. I didn't even realize I was already on the tips of my shoes until Leah had me an inch off the ground. I heard a slight moan come from her throat, and I smiled at the thought that I was the one who made her do that.
Just as quickly as the kiss started it ended, and I was put back on the ground, staring back up at the beautiful she wolf. I couldn't help the slight pout that formed on my lips.
"I would have continued, but remember the whole, you know?" Leah pointed to her teeth, and I smacked my forehead as I remembered that I was now venomous.
"Sorry." I mumbled.
"Don't be. That was absolutely amazing." Leah held my cheek, and I put my hand over her fingers.
"I thought so too." I moved Leah's hand over my mouth, and kissed her wrist.
"Just so you know, you're one of the few people in this world I would risk dyeing for." Leah blushed slightly and I smirked into her wrist.
"You know saying things like that make it really hard to not want to keep kissing you." I held both her hands in mine and continued smiling up at her.
"Well we've got all the time in the world." Leah held both my hands in hers like she was trying to warm them up.
The thought of being with this incredible women for infinity makes my heart feel like it might leap from my chest.
Leah and I walked threw the park in each others arms for a few hours, just talking about ourselves and our lives. When we reached the end it was getting late, so we decided to head back. The drive home was pretty quiet, but we held each other's hands the whole way, and listened to the radio. The song Running Up That Hill by 'Placebo' came on, and I smiled at the nostalgia of it.
"I like this song." Leah smirked, but didn't look away from the road.
"Me too." I tightened my grip on her hand slightly and rolled down my window to let the cold air blow on my face. Not sure if I'll ever get the chance to know what heaven is like, but I bet it's something pretty similar to this.
We arrived home, and parked EJ's car where it was before. Leah quickly got out and was held my door open.
"You know you have lovely manners." I laughed and grabbed her hand as she held it out for me.
"Only for certain people." Leah gave me a small, but very loving, kiss.
"I had a really amazing time." I admitted before sneaking in another small kiss.
"Me too. So, does this mean I get to go out with you again?"
"Definitely." We kissed again, I wrapped my arms around her and she did the same.
BEEEEEP!
"What the fuck?!" I turned around to see Emmett's fucking jeep alarm going off, and I quickly heard said vampire laughing from the other side of the door.
"EMMETT!" I heard Bella shout.
"I couldn't resist!" Emmett yelled while still laughing.
I quickly heard a loud crash, and wanted to thank whoever caused it.
"I better get in there." I said.
"You're going to save, Emmett?" Leah questioned.
"No! I want to see him get his ass kicked!" I started walking to the door, and turned back towards Leah. "You wanna watch with me?" I held my hand out, and she smiled brightly.
"Sure. Sounds like fun." Leah held my hand, and we walked into the house just in time to see EJ and Nessie both gang up on their uncle.
"This is what you get for making them watch wrestling with you when they were kids." Bella had her phone out, and I would have to remember to ask her to send me the video.
"Damn strait!" Nessie yelled as she put Emmett in a head lock.
I held my hand over my mouth as I laughed.
I smiled up at Leah for probably the millionth time tonight. She smiled back, and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek. I stand corrected about what I thought earlier, this right here is heaven.
Now that I've got a few stories out for both EJ, Michel, and Nelly's POV I'm curious to what everyone prefers more? I'm going to keep writing more stories for all 3 plus I've got some ideas for the other Cullen's also, but it's just a quick question if it's convenient for you to answer. Thank you all again!- Liona
