A/N: So... last time I updated was... October last year? Whoops... my bad. Things have been pretty hectic these past few months though. Anyway, next chapter up. Enjoy :)


11. Confession

After convincing him that Esme had good food waiting for us on the table, Jake got out the bed, his eyelids still drooping due to exhaustion. Even though I was excited to go to the beach and wanted Jake to be up and awake, I did feel bad for waking him up after the previous night's saga and was worried about him. As we walked down the passage towards the kitchen (after we'd both brushed our teeth), I slipped my fingers through his.

"How are you?" I asked, "After last night?"

His grin replaced his tired expression, wiping away my worry.

"Haven't had that kind of action in a long time," he said, "Bet the rest of the pack have been having boring patrols back in the USA. Speaking of which…"

He pulled out his phone and his thumbs got working. "I think I should email the pack and let them know what happened."

He sat down at the kitchen table as Esme brought breakfast to us. When he was done emailing Seth, Jake looked at me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, his tone low and measured. "You know, after… after your frenzy?"

I laughed, "Much better. Though I think you'd want to hear everything from Carlisle and Dad. More news came in this morning."

Emmet and Dad both walked into the kitchen.

"Ah, morning Jake," said Emmet, "I see Nessie has taken the responsibility to waking you up every morning."

"Yes, not that I'm complaining," smiled Jacob.

Dad and Emmet chuckled as my face burned. Damn DNA!

"Jacob, Nessie is right," said Dad, "We need to explain a few things. For instance, the human girl's blood…"

I concentrated on my food rather than on what Dad was saying, I'd already heard it. Last night was pretty eventful. After that whole bloodlust frenzy, Nahuel and Jasper brought me home. I couldn't help but eavesdrop on Nahuel's conversation on the phone when I'd "gone to sleep". And I wasn't stupid; whoever he spoke to on the phone wanted to know all about what had happened.

"Recruit another one"; what was that supposed to mean? And "they"; I supposed he was referring to us. But then he called Jake a "mutt" and that just annoyed me to no end. He also mentioned something about the vampire "I think they'll destroy him". Did they really destroy him?

"Dad, did you destroy – what did you do to him?" I asked, words tumbling out my mouth.

"We threw the pieces into the seas," said Dad, "we couldn't burn him."

"Why?"

"We didn't have anything to burn him with, Ness," Jake replied, "And even if we did have something, it would have attracted human attention – something we don't need."

"So… you just threw all the pieces in the sea. Won't he be able to re-arrange himself?"

"Yes, but his pieces are scattered," Emmet answered this time. "We drove along the coast, all the way down to the south coast, and threw them in. And we broke the head up even more and then we chucked that into the sea as well. It'll be a long time before the pieces ever come into contact. For all we know, some of them could've been carried off by the tide way into sea, to another place."

"He won't be back, Nessie," soothed Dad, reading my next thoughts; what if he came back to look for us? "Besides, they are ten of us and one of him; he won't hurt any of us."

That comforted me a bit, but someone else needed to know about Nahuel's conversation on the phone yesterday. I knew Dad was listening to my thoughts, so I replayed whatever I'd heard in my head. Dad didn't move his whole body, but his eyebrows shot up, acknowledging he'd heard my thoughts.

"Please excuse me," said Dad, as he left the room, "I'm going to see if they packed everything."

Beneath the lame excuse Dad had conjured up, I knew he was really going tell either Carlisle or Jasper about what he'd just heard.

"Come on," Jacob said, taking my spoon and dipping it into my cereal, "finish your cereal so we can go. Open up."

I opened my mouth and he gently put the spoon in my mouth. He continued feeding me till my cereal was finished, his eyes never leaving mine. We both laughed when milk slid from the corner of my mouth, dripping off my chin. His fingers came up to brush it off my face, the heat of his skin against my causing my skin to burn and cheeks turned pink.

"Are you done?" Esme asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Almost," I answered flustered, grabbing the spoon from Jake and finished off my cereal in two mouthfuls.

I took both our bowl to the sink and danced out the kitchen. Planning to get to the beach as soon as possible, I went straight to my room to change. However, when I entered the room, I found Alice and Rosalie digging a few more shopping packets.

"Nessie, which colour bathing suit would you prefer?" asked Aunt Alice, holding up two options, "Blue or Green?"

Agh, not again…

The cold wind hit us as the hotel door opened, biting any exposed flesh. The humans at the reception shuddered as the wind swirled its way into the room, making its presence known.

Heading down to the beach the same way Jake and I had the previous night, I couldn't help but think about what Jake was saying before we were interrupted. He never regretted a moment with me… fluffy, but sweet at the same time. I wondered if we'd get some alone time; perhaps then he could finish what he was going to say…

We crossed the road, past the empty parking lot, to the beach. The sea was restless, huge waves crashing against the shoreline. Emmet smiled hugely.

"Those waves look inviting," he said, "What say we grab a couple of surfboards and –"

"Surfboards?" I laughed, "From where exactly?"

"Oh, we'll make a plan," said Jasper mischievously, "There is a surfboard rental place over there." He jerked his thumb to show us where he was talking about. "We'll just borrow a few surfboards…"

I snorted. I'm pretty sure that the store was closed in weather like this. When Jasper said "borrow", he probably meant "break in the store, take a few surfboards and later put them back exactly as he found them."

"Yeah," agreed Emmet, "Ness, you're going to love surfing these waves."

"Well, they do look pretty awesome," I said, looking at the high tide.

We got to a spot, far away from human eyes, and dumped our stuff on the sand. Jasper and Emmet headed off down the beach towards the surfboard rental place as Mum started laying out some of the towels on the ground.

Emmet and Jasper were back in no time, carrying about 6 surfboards with them.

"Ready to hit the waves?" Emmet asked, tossing the boards on the sand.

"Hell yeah," replied Jake, grabbing two boards with one hand and my arm with the other and dragged us off towards the waves.

They were huge; or at least bigger than the ones that I was used to at La Push. Jake and I lay on our boards and paddled towards them; with the adrenaline rushing through my veins I had a feeling it was going to take a lot to tear me away from the waves…

About an hour and a half later Jake and I lay on our towels, out of breath and exhausted; those waves were a real challenge.

"Well, that was fun," said Jacob sitting up a bit, leaning on his elbows.

"Yeah," I said, mirroring his actions, looking at the sea. "We haven't done this in a while."

"Yeah," he whispered, his gaze drifting towards me.

"Jake, what were you going to say yesterday? Before…"

With the rest of the family still surfing, Jake and I were alone. His eyes locked on mine, his sandy, burning fingers started at my wrists slowly making its way up my arm, the grains grazing my skin.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen," he started, fingers lingering on my shoulders, "There was a reason I imprinted on you and no-one else. You're perfect for me – my soul mate. I can't imagine living my life with anyone besides you."

His hand now brushed across my collar bone, burning the skin. Jake's fingers came up to my jaw, curling, to trap my face; forcing me to look at him. My skin was on fire, a contradiction to the weather, as he leaned in till our foreheads and noses touched, his lips barely brushing mine. I closed my eyes, anticipating what would happen next.

"I suppose there is no simpler way to put this Ness," his voice husky, seductive, "I love you."

Barely giving me time to breathe, he pressed his lips softly to mine – and then we exploded. Hotter than the fire of his skin on mine, his kiss burned my lips, blooding boiling under my skin. As his lips moved in synch with mine, my fingers found their way up his bare torso; past his stomach muscles, across his chest, past his shoulders to lock around his neck, pulling me closer to him. He started to lean back, leading me with him as he pulled me on top of him as his arms wrapped around my waist, his skin leaving a trail of fire where it touched mine.

Jake pulled back slightly as we both gasped for air, forehead and nose still touching.

"I have a confession to make," he breathed. "The reason why I was so… taken aback by what you wore was because you are the most beautiful girl to walk this planet Ness, and I respect that. Something precious should always be kept safe and protected – not exposed and be left vulnerable. And with Nahuel coming over last night… well, I couldn't handle the fact that he'd be ogling over you."

His lips caught my lower lip, teasing it slightly. Shivers of pleasure ran down my spine, the endorphin rush setting me on a high. I couldn't think of anything else but the feel of his lips on mine, his one hand on the small of my back and the other twisted into a fist; knotting my hair – I couldn't think of anything else besides him setting me ablaze.

My fingers, with the same eagerness, moved from his neck to his think, soft, dark hair; my skin reveling the texture of it.

Nothing could've torn us apart… except for a small "ahem" from Behind me. Jake and I both jumped and turned around to find Alice, Jasper and Emmet with his arms around Rosalie; all with smug expressions on their faces.

Emmet chuckled as Alice said, "It's about time. But did you have to do that here?"

Though blushing ferociously, Jake and I both smiled.

"Yes, it was necessary. Had to make a point, see?"

"Yeah," I agreed, arms still wrapped around Jake, "to show everyone that this is my Jacob."
