The sound of the fire crackling and the warmth it brings makes my eyelids feel heavy. Without thinking, I lay my head of Jacob's shoulder, which sends another shock through me. Great, now I can't even lay my head down without getting that weird feeling. Jake moves his hand from at his side, to around my waist. He squeezes my side, and it sends another shock through me. This time, my stomach becomes uneasy, and it's the way I felt when I was on the phone with Jake. I'm not nervous though, but I don't know how to describe it. It's like my stomach is flipping inside out.

"You can't be tired yet, the fireworks haven't even started," Jake teases, through a mouthful of food. I think that he is on his seventh hamburger, and I got full after one. He scoots closer to me on the log that we are sitting on, so he can wrap me in his arms more.

My stomach does more flips, as I feel electricity bolts go throughout my body. I'm trying to focus on the fact that I shouldn't be worrying about what I am feeling, and I should be enjoying the fact that I am with Jacob. That thought makes me smile, "I know. Don't worry; I'll be awake for them."

"You better be," He whispers playfully, and then he lets go of me, so he can go throw away his plate. "I'll be right back."

I watch as he walks away, and then I find myself looking around the fire. The children are already sleeping inside in Sam and Emily's house, and many different baby monitors are placed on each of the logs. Claire and Quil are sitting next to me, completely unaware of everyone else around them, and when I look around that is how most of the couples are. Embry, Seth, Colin, and Brady, are all joking loudly with each other to the right of me.

"Hey Nessie," Seth says as he gets up from his log, and sits where Jake has been. "How are you enjoying the bonfire so far?"

I smile, as I look over at Seth. Seth has been around since I was born, and he has become one of my best, goofiest, friend. "I'm having a lot of fun. Are the fireworks good here?"

"I don't know if they are Cullen good, but they are pretty awesome." He says smiling a wide smile, as he looks in the direction of the beach. "We should probably go down there soon so we can see them."

Suddenly, Seth is falling backwards off of the log, and into grass. At first I don't understand why he fell, but Jacob's big laugh lets me know that he pushed him off. Seth quickly jumps up, and chases Jacob around our log, and then into the grass area behind us. Sometimes boys will be boys, I guess. Jacob pulls Seth's head underneath his arm, and then rubs his hair to make it messy. I can tell how much Jacob loves everyone here, and how much fun he has with everyone.

"Boys, the fireworks are going to start soon." Sam warns them, not looking away from Emily. Sam has aged through the years, because he doesn't phase like he used to. With my family gone there is not a reason to be a wolf all the time, so he gets away with only doing it sometimes. Jared and Paul have aged a little, too, but not too much. The other members of the pack phase normally, since they need to patrol the areas to make sure no vampires enter their property.

Jacob lets go of Seth, and then Seth gives him a push on the shoulders. They start laughing as they walk back over to where I am sitting. Jacob lends a hand out to me, "Sorry, Ness, I had to get revenge. Yesterday he pushed me out of a tree."

"It seemed like fun," I tell him with a smile, as I grab his hand. The electricity bolt that I knew would come, goes through my arm and fills my chest once again. Before he pulls me up, I get caught in the way he looks. The moonlight is reflecting off of his face, and the fire is shinning off of his body. He looks….handsome.

Jacob gently pulls me up to my feet, and then he holds an arm out, motioning the beach. "You ready?"

"Of course," I tell him, and then I notice everyone making their way towards the beach. When we reach the sand I take off my white flip-flops, and I carry them in my hand that isn't holding Jacob's. The sand feels cool underneath my feet, as we make our way to the water. The sound of the waves crashing gently against the shore becomes louder as we get closer. The large moon in the sky is reflecting against the water, and I can't wait to see how the fireworks look when they appear in the sky.

"Let's go over there," Jacob says, as he points to the left where large rocks are. Everyone else goes straight ahead, and sits together in a big clump near the water. Jacob leads me by them, and we walk a few feet to the rocks. "Is here okay? I just thought that we could use the rock as a backrest."

I smile as I sit down in the sand, and lean against the cold rock. I stretch out my legs, and the waves wash up to my ankles, and then go back into the ocean. The cold water keeps flowing up to my legs, as Jacob sits down next to me, and leans back on the same rock. "It's so gorgeous here," I tell him, as I stare into the star covered sky. It's weird thinking that last night I was laying in New Hampshire, staring up at the stars, wishing that I could be with him.

"I know," He says as he stares out into the ocean. A few minutes pass of us admiring the view, and then he slides his arm around my waist, and he brings me closer to him. The electricity bolts go throughout my body, as I lean against his body. He looks down to look at me, and I look up into his beautiful eyes again. "You look beautiful, Nessie."

A blush explodes on my face, and I feel my stomach flip again. He has called me beautiful before, but I can't help but think he means it differently now. His eyes had a certain sparkle when he said it. But that can't be. I'm probably just imagining everything. "Thank you," I tell him softly.

"Anytime," He says with a smile, and then kisses me on the forehead, sending the spark again.

I lean my head against his chest, and I place my hand where his heart is. Underneath my hand, I can feel Jacob's heartbeat speeding up. Am I just imagining this, too? I sigh deeply, as I close my eyes. What has been going on with me lately? I get all jittery whenever he is around, and I'm looking at my best friend differently.

Suddenly, his hand that is at my waist, starts tickling my side. I jump and gasp, as I try to escape his grip. With the other hand, he attacks my stomach, which sends my body into rapid movements.

"Ja-aCOB!" I yell loudly, as bursts of laughter explode from my mouth. "Not funny!"

He laughs with me, as he continues to tickle me faster. Within seconds, I am sitting on his lap, and his arms are wrapped around me. I try to squirm out, but his strong arms don't let me go, "I don't think you can escape."

"I can try," I tell him as I place my hands on his chest, and push the top half of my body away from him. His arms are holding me at the waist, and I know that I can't break his hold. Not that I would really want to. I sigh as I give up, and drop my hands down into my lap. Jacob is looking at me, his beautiful eyes searching my own. A smile tugs at his lips as he looks at me. "What?" I ask him curiously.

He just continues to stare at me, and I can feel another blush evade my cheeks. The electricity bolts are buzzing through my body, as I find myself questioning my feelings again. What have I been feeling towards Jacob these past few days? Why do I become nervous when he is around, and why have I been seeing him differently? When I look back into his deep brown eyes, I gasp, knowing that I can see the answer in him. Realization hits me like a wave, flooding over every emotion. It's why my stomach has been acting up, it's why every time I see him I am at a loss for words, and it's why every touch sends a spark. I love my best friend, Jacob Black. Not like a brother, protector, or a best friend. It's much more than that… I am in love with him.

"Renesmee," Jacob whispers quietly, as he uses one of his hands to tuck back my bronze curls behind my ear. His voice sends a different spark, and my breath becomes stuck in my throat. His other arm that is wrapped around my waist brings me closer to him, our chests pushed together, as he continues to stare into my eyes. In his face I can tell that he isn't positive about what he is about to do.

"Jake, I –" I start to say, but then something stops me.

Jacob's lips press against mine lightly, and a huge electricity bolt goes through my lips and to my chest. The bolt seems to hit my heart, and a completely new feeling enters my body. I wrap my arms around his neck, and he puts on of his hands into my hair. His lips press harder against mine as I kiss back. Everything I can see is Jacob, it's like the whole world just melted away. I could feel him smiling underneath my lips, and I knew that I was smiling, too. How could I not? I feel complete, and I know that he has been feeling the same things that I have been feeling.

BOOM!

Jake and I break from our kiss, and look up into the sky. Fireworks are exploding in the sky right above our heads, and they are being reflected against the water. The multicolored fireworks add sparkle to the sky, and I smile brightly. As cheesy as it might sound, I felt like I had fireworks going on in my head when I kissed Jacob.

Jacob. My Jacob.

"Wow," Jake whispers, as we stop looking up at the sky, and look into each other's eyes. The fireworks are reflecting in his eyes, as he smiles brightly at me. "I love you Renesmee Carlie Cullen."

He just said he loves me! Not like a younger sister or a best friend, but something so much better. I can feel my heart swell, as my cheeks become red again. This time I'm not embarrassed if he can feel my heart beating faster, because his is, too. Instead of telling him that I love him I place my hand on his cheek, and show him how I've been reacting to every touch and every time he walks into my view. At the end I show him this message: "I love you Jacob Black."

"Renesmee, I have so much to tell you." Jacob tells me, as he kisses me lightly on the lips, and I almost faint. "Have you ever heard of imprinting?"
