11. Nap

Renesmee's POV

I made my way down the stairs and I had some awkward stairs coming towards me from everyone downstairs. They were all in the living room but I could feel their eyes on me as I walked past the entryway. All of them being vampires and having super hearing, I knew they had just heard what went on between my dad and me.

I walked out the back door taking my time back to the cabin. My feet seemed to be leaded and I realized how tired I really was. This situation was more stress then my body was used to. Eventually I made my way up to my house and I walked into the front door. My feet shuffled down the hallway and it made a strange echoing noise in our empty house. I pushed my door open weakly and almost jumped when I saw Nahuel sitting on my bed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise.

"We said we were going to go lay down remember?" He asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"Oh…right." I said sitting down beside him.

Nahuel moved my long auburn ringlets off of my back and started rubbing my back in little circles. It was so relaxing; I could feel my eyelids start to droop and the knots in my neck and back seemed to be melting out. Nahuel gently pushed me on the side of my torso to get me to lie down on the bed and I didn't fight him at all. I felt like someone had taken a vacuum and sucked out all of my energy.

He had his arm wrapped around my waist so I was lying in the crook of his arm with my head on his shoulder. It was quite warm and comfortable. I snuggled in closer breathing in the scent of him and closing my eyes.

"Wow you really are tired." Nahuel whispered against my cheek still lightly rubbing my back.

"True story." I sighed into his shoulder.

He momentarily stopped rubbing my back and I opened my eyes.

"Why did you stop?" I asked sleepily.

"I didn't realize you liked it so much." He said smiling.

"It feels so good." I said closing my eyes again.

He started rubbing my back again and I knew it would only be a matter of time before I was asleep. I felt him shift slightly underneath me and then his lips pressed very gently against mine.

"Sleep tight." He whispered against my face.

His sudden sweetness took me by surprise. There was no hunger in this kiss, only adoration and gentleness. I smiled at him with my eyes closed and kissed his shoulder.

"Night, night." I said half asleep.

I heard him chuckle softly before I drifted off to sleep.

My awakening was not very pleasant. I was in the middle of a very nice dream when it turned into a nightmare. I woke up feeling like I was being run over by a truck and when I looked up Jake was lying on top of me and bouncing me up and down.

"Wake up lazy!!" He yelled right in my ear.

"Get off!" I screeched groggily. I pulled the pillow out from underneath my head and whacked him on the head as hard as I could.

He just laughed and grabbed my arm and pulled me up to a sitting position. I started rubbing the sleep out of my eyes when I suddenly thought of Nahuel. I was instantly awake and I whipped my hands from my face and automatically looked beside me on the bed. He wasn't there and my heart rate returned to my normal pace.

"Uh…who are you looking for Ness?" Jake asked.

"Oh no one. I must have just had a dream someone else was in here or something." I tried to explain casually.

"Oh. So what did you do to make your dad so mad?" He asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"What makes you think he's mad?"

"Maybe the fact that he's just sitting on the couch at Esme's house with a look on his face that basically looks like he might eat you."

"Oh. I guess that would be a good give-a-away."

"Yeah, so what did you do?"

"Well, basically I learned how to block my thoughts so that he can't read them and since he always has to know everything, it sort of bugs him."

"You learned how to block his thoughts!?" He asked stunned and jaw hanging open.

"Yeah. I figured I must have had a least a little bit of my mom's gift passed onto me so I decided to try it." I said shrugging like it was no big deal.

He shook his head. "You really are amazing Renesmee."

Jake didn't really say my full name very often but every time he did I got a little rush through my veins and a tingly feeling up my spine.

"Why thank you Jacob." I said standing up and taking a little bow.

He stood beside me and mock applauded.

"So did they send you to come wake me up?" I asked him stretching.

"Nope. They just told me you were sleeping and I figured you had slept long enough."

My mouth opened and my breath huffed out. "No fair! I was in the middle of a good dream." I said pouting my lower lip.

"Yeah I watched some of it." He smirked at me.

"You did not." I said defiantly.

"Yeup. I sure did."

My cheeks flushed and I crossed my arms over my chest. "What was I dreaming then?"

"That you were on an island completely alone and you had not a care in the world."

"Nice try." I said relaxing. It was a good thing he didn't know why I wanted to be on that island.

He just shrugged. "Let's go out to the reservation. The boys are cliff diving today."

"Yeah!" I said jumping up and down like a little kid. He knew cliff diving was my favorite.

"Awite wittle girl. But you have to pwomise to be careful."

"Shut up!" I said running out the door with Jake right behind me.

As soon as we got out the door I heard the rip of his clothes and the sound of four paws landing beside me.

"Cheater! You have four legs I only have two." I screeched kicking up my pace.

He seemed to bark a laugh as he flew past me. I pushed my legs to go faster when suddenly out of nowhere; someone yanked me from the side. A small yelp of surprise escaped from my lips and I looked up into Nahuel's face.

"Gosh Nahuel! You just about gave me a heart attack!" I said panting from shock.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just thought you may have been wondering where I was."

"Oh, yeah. I was sort of confused when I woke up from my nap. When did you leave?"

"I heard someone coming towards the house and I figured it wouldn't go over too well if we were caught sleeping together…again." He said sighing.

"Yeah probably not." I agreed.

He tenderly rubbed my arm like he rubbed my back last night and a small smile automatically crept onto my lips. He pressed his lips to mine similar to the way he did earlier this morning. We both heard a four legged animal running towards us and we both took an automatic step back. Nahuel nodded a goodbye at me and then flew off in the opposite direction. When Jacob stood in front of me as a wolf he cocked his head to the side in confusion.

"Sorry, I just stopped to talk to Nahuel for a second. Let's go." I said as I ran by him knowing that he wouldn't be able to respond anyways.

We had made it to the edge of the woods and I turned around waiting for Jake to phase back. I heard him phase and I was about to turn around when he screamed, "No don't!"

I was about to turn around anyway to make sure he was okay when I remembered something. "You ripped your clothes didn't you?" I asked laughing.

"Yes." I could hear the embarrassment in his voice.

I started laughing so hard that I had to sit on the ground and wrap my arms around my waist.

"Are you done yet?" He asked annoyed.

"One sec…HAHAHA! Okay, now I'm done."

"Just run to my house and grab me a pair of shorts please." He grumbled.

"Wait a minute, what do I get for it?" I asked tauntingly.

"You can go cliff diving with me." He stated plainly.

It didn't really sound like he was kidding. I took off at full speed towards his house. Even though I wasn't as fast as a normal vampire, human eyes wouldn't be able to see me dart through the streets. I was back to Jake in about four minutes with my hand covering my eyes and holding out the shorts like they were diseased with the other hand.

"Thank you." He said snapping them out of my hand.

"Sure thing." I said sarcastically. I heard the swish off fabric being pulled against skin and I knew he had his pants on. I opened my eyes to see that he was still glaring at me but I was pretty sure he was just trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Alright, are you ready to go cliff diving?" He asked with a taunting smile.

"YES!" I shouted.

"Well alright then let's go!"

A/N: Wow this took me forever to put up. Sorry about that. Everything just got really busy and in my free time I was sleeping instead of writing =P

Well, enjoy your much awaited chapter! That is…if you were waiting for it to be posted which I'm sure only a small number of you were ;)
