Author's Notes: This chapter is dedicated to my readers and my
beloved reviewers. I thank you with my heart. I'm willing to
carry this story to the final moment with your help. Pixie, I
thank you so much for being able to deal with my anger issues
and lack of patience and tolerate it.
Things to know: In the books the Blacks weren't wealthy but, to
make sense in this story they are. For those who PM me, Edward
is definitely coming into this story Bella just won't fall for
him quickly. Don't worry Jacob lovers I will respect the
werewolf we know and some love. Oh, and it is fall almost
Bella's birthday.
Modern Day Nightmare
Chapter 3: The Date
As I left my house I looked over at my old red truck.
It may be centuries old but I still love it. Renee and Charlie
had bought it for me.
Just the thought of my mother made me miserable. I
loved her so much I only hoped she loved me half as much. I
choked back the tears threatening to spill over the rims of my eyes.
I opened my truck's ancient rusty door and jumped in
the seat. As I started the ignition I looked down at what I was
wearing.
My hair was parted to the side. I was wearing a jean
mini skirt and a green tank top. It may not be sunny but it was
at least hot out. I wasn't wearing any make-up which I never
did. I hated that stuff with a passion.
I pulled out of my driveway and drove to the location
where I was supposed to meet Jacob at. Don't normal people go on
dates before they get engaged?
I pulled up to a house fit to be a mansion. It was
HUGE! Gosh, no wonder Charlie wants me to marry this kid. He was
LOADED!
Outside of the house Jacob was on a porch swing. When
he saw me get out of the car he ran full speed down the
driveway. A little over excited huh?
He ran up to me and grabbed me into a huge bear hug
swinging me back and forth side to side. I think I'm getting sea
sick.
My first impression of Jacob Black was this. He was a
gigantic beast who was overly friendly fun lover. Yeah, we
weren't going to get along.
In the looks department he was…HOT! He had long black
polished hair. He kept it in a pony tail at the back of his
neck. He was bulky and way taller the normal almost seventeen
year old.
I was interrupted from my thoughts when Big Bird
pulled back to look at me and said, "You must be Bella, my soon
to be wife!" he twirled me around again then continued saying,
"I'm going to have such a beautiful wife! I'm so excited, aren't
you? We will get married in the summer, go to college together.
Oh, that could be a problem. Um… oh, I got! You can get left
back or I can skip a grade but, I'm 85 positive it won't
happen." I swear he got all that out in only about five breaths.
This guy could be an excellent gossiper.
"Oh and when we graduate college we can live in a big
beach house by the La Push shores. I would get a job, and you
can stay home and be a stay at home mom. That reminds me, we
haven't even discussed kids!" He nearly screamed the last part
with me mute in his arms. Kids?! I met this guy I don't know
ONCE all the while not getting a single word into the
conversation. Yes, I could see our nicknames now, Mr. Friendly
and Mrs. Mute Girl. God, did I just say Mrs.?
Jacob just continued with his ramble, "I want about
five kids. Preferably boys! Yeah, five boys would be nice. But,
you know if you want a girl we can throw that into the bunch!" I
tuned him out after that.
Was Big Bird really even planning out how many kids we
were going to have? I mean, what if I don't even want kids.
He continued swirling me around as he continued to
ramble. This worked fine for me since I could just continue on
with my thoughts not putting a comment in.
How did I get here? Did Charlie believe my own suppose
of "happiness" was worth this torture? If this is a joke Charlie
needs a way better sense of humor because this is a tragic
catastrophe. Oh, how I really hoped this was a dream.
Would Big Bird ever shut up? You would think someone
with his built would be a stupid air head that would have ran
out of words by now. But, no, he continued to ramble like a
stupid walking dictionary.
Finally, Jacob put me down. Wow, I never noticed that
I was so low to the ground. Am I really that short?
Jacob patted my head, laughed, and exclaimed, "Wow, is
my betrothed a little lost for words?"
Great, it was my turn to put forth the conversation! I
hope you realized the sarcasm in my voice.
"Yeah, I'm Bella. You already knew that. I'm your soon
to be wife. It is nice to meet you?" The thrid comment was more
of a question then a statement.
"Well, are you ready to meet my friends on our date?"
Jacob said with a huge smile.
I just shook my head yes as I followed him into the car.
During my date I learned one thing, La Push boys eat
an incredible amount of hotdogs.
My date with Jacob was a bonfire with all his closest
friends. This consisted of Sam, his girlfriend Emily, Jared, his
girlfriend Kim, Paul, Quil, Embry, Leah, and her brother Seth.
I was nervous in Jacob's car when he told me our date
was a grouping with his friends. I was edgy about what they
might say and think about me. Despite my anxiousness they all
seemed tranquil and composed. Everyone greeted me with a simple
hello and welcoming hug. Exchanges were made. Even though I was
as jumpy as a cat on a tin can roof I did not miss the side
glances Quil, Embry, and Jacob shared.
My location at the moment was sitting on a log around the fire.
Jacob was leaning on my knees while eating a hot dog that was
cooked from the fire.
I've lost count on how many hot dogs he has eaten. I'm positive
it is way past his tenth! Plus, Jacob ate a super size bag of
chips and soda. This is more then I eat in a week. I'm wondering
if his finale will be eating a whole cow. Yeah, who ever brought
the food has a humongous grocery bill!
Just then Embry started choking on his hot dog. As he continued
to gag everyone just stared.
Finally, Sam scolded, "Chew your food, don't be an animal!"
Everyone started laughing except me and well Embry. Did I
mention I'm solemn enough not to laugh at others extent?
"Okay, settle down now" Sam waited for everyone to seize talking
and then continued stating, "Now, it is time for some so called
scary stories. Please, gentlemen try not to be perverted." He
gave a meaningful glare to all the male species gathered by the fire.
"My story is an old La Push legend," Sam spoke. "In the
beginning our tribe settled in the harbor and became skilled
fishermen…"
He was cut off when Quil stated, "Try not to kill your fish
Paul!" Which made Paul growl, as everyone else became hysterical
in laughter.
When we settled down Sam continued on with his story only a few
rude comments along the way and a lot of snorting from the male
population.
I myself found that story intriguing a little far fetch but
intriguing. It wasn't scary though.
At the end of our date Jacob tried to give me a kiss but I
dodged it. I feel like I love him like a brother which isn't the
way he wants. What will become of us?
