I won't bother you now, read and I'll leave a note at the bottom of the chapter :)

First step

"Date him?" Seth asked bringing his swing to a sudden stop. "Why would you want to date him?"

"I didn't say date him," I told him, bringing my swing to a stop too. "I said that I'll ask him on a date."

"How is that any different?" He asked, standing next to my swing, I hopped off and we started walking toward my house.

"Because it'll be just one time thing and I think that more than one date it's required to date someone."

"Oh," he said, with some kind of relief. "But, can't you talk to him at school?"

"Would you tell someone you don't know that your sister is a werewolf?"

"No, never," he replied. "Not in a school, not even in a fancy restaurant."

"That's right," I told him, walking more slowly now that we were approaching home. "I will ask him out not to ask him about his sister right away, but to earn his trust. And I won't be taking him to a fancy restaurant, I was thinking taking him for a coffee, or something like that."

"That's actually a pretty good idea," he said smiling at me.

"You sound shock," I said, quirking an eyebrow. "I may be five, but I'm five times more intelligent than you."

"That you are Nessie, I won't argue back," he laughed and opened the door to my house, letting me go before him. I must have be thinking about Jacob – something I tend to do all the time – because my dad told me immediately that he was in the backyard; I thanked him and went to find Jake, who was walking toward the little forest that started just behind my house. Live surrounded by woods it was one of the things we were looking for when we moved here; it's easier to go hunting this way.

"Jake," I yelled at him and picked my pace, he came to a stop. "Where were you going?" I asked him.

"I thought of taking a little run," he told me, looking ahead.

"Great," I said, hoping he would look at me instead of the woods. "Go phase and I'll wait for you here, I feel like running too."

"Ness," he said with a big sigh. "I want to be alone."

"Oh," I said shocked, running through the woods was something we enjoy doing together… or so I thought. He started walking away from me and I couldn't stop the question from coming out of my mouth; "Are you mad at me?"

He stopped again and this time he turned and looked into my eyes. He must have seen something in my face because a look of concern filled his features, he move toward me and grabbed my arms.

"I've never gotten mad at you and I won't start now," he said with such and intensity that I couldn't look away.

"Then why are you acting like this?" I said; my voice almost a whisper.

"Because I worry about you," he told me, lowering his voice and releasing my arms. "And you don't care."

"Of course I care," I replied, and took a step ahead. "I know that you think that something bad might happen if I talk to Josh, but is the opposite thought that scares me the most."

"The opposite thought?" Jake asked confused.

"That something may happen to you – all of you – if I don't."

"It's not your job to protect family, less alone protect me."

"But it is," I replied. "I'm bound to protect you and my family because I love you too much not to do it."

"But…" he started fighting back but I stop him.

"Besides, I know what I'm doing," I told him with a wink and the corner of his lips twitched, like he was fighting a smile.

"You are stubborn just like your mother, did you know that?"

"I've been told a couple of times," I said smiling and he smiled back. "Do you still feel like running on your own?"

"No," he answered.

"Good, 'cause I'm starving," I said and he laughed, went behind a bush and reappeared in his wolf form. I stood right next to him, patted him on the head and ruffled his soft fur, earning a soft purr back.

"You want to race?" I said, getting in position and he barked as an answer. "Okay, at the count of three; One, two…" and I started running, two miles away I yelled "three!" and I heard Jacob's paws hitting the earth, making me run even faster.

Two hours later we were back at my house, me with my cheeks bright red from drinking blood and he still in his wolf form. I waited for him in the swing that was in the yard while he changed back into his human form. He came out from behind the bush and went to sit by me.

"That was fun," he said, stretching his arms and legs, sinking further in the cushions of the swing.

"I hate the fact that you always win when we run, even if I cheat," I whined and he laughed, retrieving a twig that was trapped in one of my curls.

"But you can climb trees faster than me," he replied with a smile. "And I have to be in my wolf form to bit you on a race."

"I guess that's right," I said, standing up, I stretched myself and turned around. "Are you hungry? I can make you a sandwich."

"Only one?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and I snorted.

"You're right," I said laughing. "Come on in, I'll do a bunch."

After he ate four grilled sandwiches and half a litter of coke he went home, kissing me on the cheek and telling me he'll be here tomorrow before I go so he could take me to school.

"What are you planning to do?" Jake asked me the next day, already in his truck on our way to my school.

"About what?" I asked him, changing the music.

"About Josh," he said, making me stop what I was doing, he looked at me, frowning. "You have a plan, haven't you?"

"Of course I have one," I said, thanking he was looking ahead again, 'cause I felt myself blushing. "I'm going to talk to him today."

"And?" he pushed, still looking ahead.

"I was thinking about asking him to go with me for a cup of coffee or something," I mumbled.

"What?" he almost yelled, I could see the tips of his ears turning red. "You are going to ask him on a date?"

He came to a stop in my school's parking lot and turned around to look at me, I was fumbling with my zipper.

"Is not a date," I reassured him, I didn't want him to take a wrong impression on the situation. "But he won't talk to me right away, so I thought that if we hang out and we get to know each other a little he'd trust me and he'd talk to me about his sister."

"I'll go with you," he said hastily.

"Sure, because a seven feet shape-shifter will help in the task of earning his trust," I told him, rolling my eyes for emphasis.

"I don't want you alone with him," he said, his jaw tense and his hands in fists.

"Who said anything about being alone?" I asked in disbelieve. Haven't we discussed this yesterday?

"Then?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Is coffee, I was thinking in going to a coffee shop," I replied. "Last time I check, lots of people drinks coffee and I've heard that coffee shops are quite popular."

"I'm not joking Ness," he said rolling his eyes, his jaw relaxing a bit.

"I'm not joking either, I was stating a fact," I said, raising my eyebrows. "Coffee shops are full of people, that is why I'm picking the place, so stop treating me like I'm a careless little girl who doesn't know what she's doing."

I stormed out of the car and started walking toward the school's door, my dad was with my mom next to his car and they looked at me while I was walking rapidly.

"What happened?" dad asked and I answered in my mind. Ask Jacob.

I could hear Jacob yelling my name; I could also hear that he was picking his pace and I picked mine, I was already too tired to keep arguing with him. I heard dad talking to him, making him stop and I thanked him in my head. I went into the building and April was next to me in a second.

"What was that?" she asked me. "Who is he?"

"That was a little fight," I told her with a sigh. "And he was Jacob."

"That's Jacob?" she asked me with wide eyes. I told her all about Jacob last week, after she caught me sending him a text with – what she called – a goofy smile.

"Yes, that's him," we stopped at my locker where I got my books for my first class.

"He's hot," she said, wiggling her eyebrows.

"I know," I said with a sad smile, hating the fact that I just fought with him and I left him alone in the parking lot. April was going to ask me a question when the bell ringed, she told me we would see each other in the next our and went to her class.

I went to my own and heard my cellphone in my bag; I took it out and saw that I received a text from Jake.

Please, don't be mad at me. I just worry about you.

With a sigh I replied: Didn't we discuss this yesterday?

I was already sitting in my place when I received a response.

I know. I'm sorry. I won't ever doubt you again. Please don't be mad at me Ness, I can't take it when you are mad :(

I could picture him in my mind pouting and I couldn't stay mad at him anymore. Okay, I forgive you, but you better behave from now on, because I won't be so forgiving next time.

There won't even be a next time. I swear. You are the best Ness, see you tonight.

That was nice. I hate to stay mad at Jacob for more than a couple of hours, not that I get mad a lot, is almost impossible to do so.

At lunch we were sitting with Rachel and the rest of the volley team when I saw Josh entering the room.

"Hey, I'll be away for a second," I said to April and the girls, they nodded and kept eating. I walked toward Josh who saw me, turned around and left. You can't outrun me Josh…

Outside the cafeteria I called him and he came to a stop, probably knowing that I won't let him scape so easily this time.

"Yes?" he turned around and looked at me frowning.

"I wanted to talk to you," I said with a smile.

"About?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and shoving his hands deep in his pockets.

"Are you avoiding me?" I confronted him. I didn't know what else to say, the words 'wanna go out for a cup of coffee later?' got stuck and this came instead.

"No," he said, turning slightly red. "Why would I do such a thing?"

"Because every time I try to talk to you, you turn around and walk away as fast as you can."

"Is not like that," he mumbled, blushing even more.

"And I want to know why," I said.

"Why?" he asked, biting his lip nervously.

"Yeah, I want to know why you are trying so hard to avoid me even though you don't know anything about me."

"I'm not trying to avoid you," he said, looking at his feet.

"Probe it," I dared him.

"Probe it how?" he asked, slightly panicked.

"Go out with me, today, for a cup of coffee," I said.

"Today? I don't know…" he trailed off.

"If you are not avoiding me, this shouldn't be a problem. We could go to the coffee shop that's a couple of streets away, we could get to know each other and, if after that you decide you don't like me, then you can star avoiding me."

"I don't know Renesmee," he said, looking at me and biting his lips even more.

"Oh, come on," I said. "I won't bite you, I swear."

"Okay, sure, let's go out for coffee," he gave up. "As long as you won't bite me..."

"I swear," I said smiling and he gave me a small smile. "See you after lunch."
