Chapter 5: Presents
"Nessie, can you open the presents now?" Jacob asked excitedly, but before I could reply he literally forced a package into my hands.
"Looks like I'm going have to" I mumbled.
Whether or not Jacob heard he decided to ignore my sarcastic remark and continued on in his hyped up voice.
"It's not just from me; it's from the whole pack!" He said practically bouncing off the walls.
I began to tear the neatly wrapped sliver paper off. Trying not to laugh at Jacob's grinning face that was bouncing before my eyes. As I tore of the paper, I saw that something was glittering underneath. Oh God please don't have paid a lot for it.
As I pulled it out I saw that what was glittering was the clasp on a beautiful silver bracelet. But it wasn't just any ordinary bracelet, it was a charm bracelet. There were little wooden carved wolves hanging of the dainty loops.
"There's a wolf to represent, me, Seth, Sam, Quil, Leah and Embry" Jacob smiled proudly.
Sure enough there were 6 little wolves on the bracelet, a russet coloured one to represent Jacob, hanging next to that was a sandy brown coloured little wolf which was Seth, then swaying slightly was a black wolf who I knew was Sam, the lovely chocolate brown coloured wolf was clearly Quil, next t him was Leah's wolf form which is the smallest wolf and consist of a light gray colour and finally my favourite wolf - Embry, his wolf was grey with dark spots on his back. The most unique in the pack.
"Oh my God Jake! I love it!" I squealed, it was very true though it was a beautiful gift.
I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders giving him a thank you hug.
"It's kind of like the gift gave your mum at her graduation party "Jacob explained
I knew of that gift already, my mum always wore it but her's had a diamond heart on it which was from my dad to represent him and only had a figure of Jake.
When we parted I was about to ask who wants to give me their present next when Embry spoke first.
"Hey, it's not just off Jake you know. It took me ages to carve my wolf. Don't I get a hug?" While saying that he opened his long arms out to me. I heard my dad cough slightly.
But I didn't care I just walked over to him and wrapped my arms tightly around his broad shoulders. I closed my arms as he put his arms around my waist; I gently inhaled his musky smell.
"Later" He whispered gently into my ear so that no one else but me could here that one beautiful word.
I heard my dad cough lightly again and I quickly pulled away. While blushing I put the bracelet around my wrist.
"Thanks guys I'll never take it off" I thanked them again, and I couldn't help but grin at the amazing smile on Jake's face.
"Nessie, here you go, open the one from me and your grandfather next" Esme said while handing me a small package.
"Okay grandma" I smiled at her and took the package from her hands.
I began to open the perfectly wrapped present, and heard something jiggle inside. Not another piece of jewellery from them. It's not that I'm not thankful it's just because they spend way too much on presents and if its jewellery then it sure as hell will be expensive.
I pulled out the small case which was hidden beneath the shiny wrapping paper. I gasped as I looked at the box, it was beautiful. Made of a shiny Jade marble which was sparkling gently in the dim lighting, it looked like a perfect gift in its self. I opened the lid lowly and couldn't believe what I was seeing. Sitting lightly on top of crushed purple velvet was the most stunning diamond necklace I had ever seen. It had a dainty gold but strong gold chain and hanging of the cold chain was a diamond encrusted heart. The diamonds were breathtaking, they were like little eyes blinking up at me and drawing my attention.
"Open the heart Nessie" Carlisle said while putting his arm around my shoulders.
I opened up the heart being ever so carefully and looked at what was contained in the amazing heart. I wanted to cry as I saw what was embedded into the sides. It was a picture of the whole family, which we took a few days ago. As I looked I saw that Jake was on there too. Dang, why isn't Embry on there? Oh no, how could I think something like that? I began to feel the tears welling up in my eyes, how could I think such a selfish thought? After I had just been given one the most amazing presents anyone could have asked for? Well, dang I'm mean.
"Aww honey, don't cry" Carlisle said trying to comfort me and gently wiping away my tears.
I threw my arms around my granddad and softly into his shoulder.
"It's t-the best granddad, thank you" I finally managed to say.
I pulled away from Carlisle and went over to Esme and put my arms around her small shoulders.
"Thank you too grandma" I told her
She kissed my forehead lightly and said "It's alright darling, we knew you prefer more homemade presents"
I pulled away slightly and smiled at her "You know me so well grandma"
As I turned round I saw that Charlie was standing there awkwardly, with a messy wrapped parcel in is shaking hands.
"Err...here you go Nessie, it's not much...but...yeah" He nervously said to me.
"Aww, granddad I don't mind, it's off you that's a good enough present." I told him with a reassuring smile.
He smiled a small smile at me looking a little less nervous. I took the package from his hands, and began to tear of the paper. The present contained inside felt quite light so I gathered that it may be something like earrings or a ring. Sure enough when I had finally tore off the wrapping paper there was a ring box hidden underneath. I pulled it out and opened the satin lid. When I looked inside I saw something much more beautiful than I imagined to. It was a small emerald ring with a thick golden band, and tiny diamonds beside the emerald.
"Oh granddad it's awesome!" I practically shouted and ran over to his nervous form and gave him a big hug.
"Err...it's nothing, I've had it for a long time. It belonged to my mother you see" He informed while blushing like a beetroot.
I let ago and said "Granddad that makes it even more special"
Again he blushed looking even redder than before.
I looked around at the others and saw that Alice was practically bouncing up and down with excitement while holding an envelope in her small hands.
"Okay Alice your turn now" I sighed but laughed as her face lit up even more than before.
She danced over to me and handed me the envelope. "It's from me, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie!" She squeaked in her sweet voice.
I opened up the envelope and pulled a set of car keys. Not just any car keys but from what I could tell they were keys for a very expensive car.
I was about to speak when Alice grabbed my hand began pulling me outside to the garage, with everyone else trailing behind us. She opened the garage door and dragged me inside.
"Tada!" She yelled and pointed to one of the best cars I had ever seen.
It was a black convertible, with leopard print seats and big fancy wheels. It had a massive red bow tied around it.
I felt my mouth open in surprise "Oh my God guys, you shouldn't have got me this! It's way too much"
Alice's face drooped "You don't like it?" she asked sounding extremely sad.
I laughed and put my arms around her. "Of course I don't like it, I love it" I practically shouted down her ears.
"Yay!" she shouted equally loud down my ears.
"Thank you" I said to her and the others as I went over to hug Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett.
"Nessie honey, me and your mother are going to give you your present later" My dad said with a sparkle in his eyes so from that I guessed that it was going to a big and expensive present.
"Okay dad" I said trying to sound happy that a big surprise was waiting for me at home.
"Right well let's get this party started!" Jacob shouted while dragging me back into the house.
I heard everyone laugh behind us and run to try catch up with me and Jacob.
I quickly looked behind to see that Embry was there right behind me. I smiled at him but looked past him and saw my dad frowning. Well, dang this is awkward.
