It was a scene straight from a fairy tale.
The cottage was filled with candles, a warm cinnamon scent filling the air. The couch and seats were gone, and in their place was a giant round carpet surrounded by soft plush pillows and more candles. In the center of the floor was an array of food, fruits and beverages laying neat and ready to eat.
It was the most romantic and beautiful thing I have ever seen, and I found myself speechless and roaming around the small space.
I looked over to where Jacob stood, hands in his pockets, waiting nervously for me to speak. He looked so beautiful in the warm glow of the candles, making this even more perfect.
"Jake, this is- this is amazing!" I managed to say, still taking in the scene before me. "How-? When did you do this?"
He came towards me, still nervous. "You were so engrossed with the leech and his earth-moving, so I decided to take that time to get part of your present set up." He smiled a sexy half smile.
"Part of my present? You mean there's more?"
"Yeah, you'll get the rest later."
"But Jacob, this is already incredible," I said, motioning towards the food and pillows on the floor. "This is beautiful. What more can you possibly give me?"
He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me, my body melting into his. I immediately reacted, placing my hands around his waist and savoring the feel of his muscles beneath my touch. Never before have I been so aware of Jacob and his immense masculinity.
He stepped back for a moment, his hands coming up to cup around my face. His hands left fire trails where they made contact. He looked me in the eye, his onyx gaze holding mine.
"I would give you the world, Nessie, if it is what you want."
Once again, Jacob left me speechless. His words were playing over in my head, and I relished in the feeling of warmth and comfort that they brought. My Jacob. He was everything that I wanted at the moment, the only thing that I desperately needed.
"I don't want the world Jake. I want you."
And at that moment, I realized it was true. I could go on living life without a home, without food, without air. But I could never survive without Jacob.
Jacob pulled me to him again, our bodies fitting perfectly together. It was the perfect moment, and it was over all too soon. He took my hand and led me to the round carpet, where he sat and motioned for me to follow.
"Nessie," he said, beggining to gather food on a plate. "Prepare for the best food of your life." He passed me the plate and I was amazed at all the food on it. There was rice, chicken, salad and bread. Everything looked and smelled delicious.
"Oh, Jake this is wonderful. Thank you."
"Anytime, honey." He then passed me a glass of red wine. "And I brought this, because I know how much you love it."
I took the glass gratefully, surprised that he would even think of such a detail. It was no secret to my family that I drink wine. I acquired a taste for it a couple of months ago, Carlisle believing that it reminds me of blood.
Jacob and I ate and talked from then on, our conversations filled with laughs and and teasing. It was the best time of my life. Jacob cleaned away all the food and mess when we were finished and returned to in front of me, his face serious.
"Okay," he began, the nerves clear on his face. "Now, I'm going to give you the second part of your present."
I was immediately excited, wishing that I knew what it was that he was going to give me. Anything from Jacob would be wonderful, but a girl still needs to know.
He went into my bedroom and returned quickly with a smooth black box in his hands. He sat in front of me and placed the box in my hands, too nervous to say anything. I took it and read the note that was attatched to it.
"My Nessie, I give you this in the hopes that you will treasure it and keep it safe forever. You will always have my heart. Happy Birthday, my darling. Love, Jacob."
I looked up at Jacob and saw that he was staring at me, waiting for me to open the box. I opened it and immideatly gasped.
Inside the box was a beautiful heart necklace. The heart was encrusted with diamonds, rubies outlining it and making an elegant R in the middle. It was the most beautiful and extravagant gift I had ever recieved, and the fact that it was my Jacob who gave it to me only made it that much more beautiful.
"I- Jake- This is beautiful!" I felt a single teardrop fall from my eye, showing just how much this gift meant to me.
Jacob reached over and wiped the tear away, a smile playing on his lips.
"So... Does this mean you like it?"
I laughed. "This means I love it. Thank you Jacob."
He pulled the necklace out of the box and placed it around my neck. He looked at me and smiled brightly, his hand resting against the necklace.
"My heart, Renesmee Cullen. It's yours."
I place one hand over his on my chest while the other reached up to touch his face. I showed him all the love I felt for him and the happiness that he brought to my world. My heart was his, and I finally let go, knowing that what I had been feeling for the last couple of days was not hormones and some stupid teenage syndrome. It was pure, unadultered love. Love for my Jacob.
"My heart, Jacob Black. It's yours."
Jacob leaned closer to me, our faces so close that I could see every detail of his beautifully tanned face. He hesitated, looking for permission that I was only too happy to give. I wanted him to kiss me more than anything in the world. I wanted to know how those beautiful lips felt against mine. I wanted to know that Jacob was mine, fully and comepletely.
"Jake," I whispered, "I love you." And with that our lips met. I was completely lost in the warmth and perfection that was Jacob, my hands traveling to his face and tangling in his soft hair. Everything in the world was forgottern when his toungue slowly outlined my lower lip, sending pleasurable shivers through my body.
This moment was perfection.
We layed back onto the many pillows, Jacob laying on top of me, looking at me with lust-filled eyes. It was the most erotic thing I have ever seen.
"Nessie," he said, his hands sliding down my neck and shoulder, traveling down my arm. "I love you too." He leaned down and kissed me again.
And that is where the rest of my life began.
