Chapter 15: Dinner and a Movie

After kissing and holding each other on Billy's loveseat for about 45 minutes, Jacob broke away from the kiss and said, "I better get us home for dinner. Besides, I think we need to talk to your parents about our engagement. Edward may kill me, but it is well worth it to be able to call you my fiancée'.

Jacob pulled us back onto our feet, and he handed me my bra and shirt so that I could get dressed. He slid his T-shirt back on, then turned and kissed me. He scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the Jeep. I looked up into his eyes and jokingly said, "I didn't realize that I was never going to get to walk again when we got engaged."

Jacob laughed and said, "It just feels so good to have you in my arms, and it never occurred to me that you would mind."

"Oh, I definitely do not mind. Please feel free to carry me anywhere," I said coyly.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me.

When we reached the jeep, he swung the passenger door open without even jostling me, and gently placed me onto the seat, and closed my door. He sprinted around the jeep and jumped into the driver's seat. We quickly sped back home, with Jacob's arm around my shoulder. I placed my right hand on his knee, and slowly, gently tickled him from his knee to his upper thigh.

"Nessie, your father is already probably going to kill me, but if I walk in pitching a tent, he is just going to make it slow and painful to boot. I laughed, and just rested my hand on his knee the rest of the way.

Mom was waiting in the entry way as soon as we walked in. "So how was your first day of school. Did you make any new friends," she asked. After everything that had transpired with Jacob and I this afternoon, I had almost forgotten that I had attended school today. Jacob was holding my left hand, so she hadn't gotten a glimpse of the ring yet.

"School was great," I replied, and then I ran through a summary of the way the Quileute school ran, how much I had enjoyed the academic discussions in my classes, and that I felt really welcomed by the wolves and other imprints. I even ran through how we had gone to First Beach to play hide and seek with Claire this afternoon. Mom seemed happy that I had enjoyed my day. Dad called from the kitchen, "I'm glad you had a good day Nessie. I think that this is really important for you, to be able to ease into society, and that this is the best way to do it."

Jake sniffed the air and said, "Edward, what are you cooking, it smells great, I'm starved." Dad replied, "You are always starving. In honor of Nessie's first day of school I made her favorite steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus. It's already, come sit and eat."

I looked at Jake and gave a gentle squeeze to his hand, then I took a deep breath and said, "Mom, Dad, could you sit with us while we eat, Jake and I have some news that we would like to discuss with you."

My mom's face filled with panic, "Did the wolves pick up on Nahuel's scent? Is there another vampire in the area?"

"No Mom, it's good news, really good news, we just want to tell you and Dad together OK.

We walked into the kitchen, still hand in hand, so that my ring was still concealed, and sat next to each other at the counter. Mom and Dad stood across from us, on the other side of the island, both with perplexed looks on their faces.

I thought I was going to be the one to tell them, but before I could get a word out of my mouth, Jacob started talking, "I love Nessie, I always have, and you both know that I always will. We both love each other desperately. That is why I proposed to her today, and by some miracle force, probably the same force that brought us together, she said yes." He held our hands up, which were still intertwined, and showed my parents my ring.

They were stunned into silence for several minutes, and then I heard my Mom squeal and yell 'Congratulations," and she ran around the counter to hug us both.

Dad was still stunned into complete motionless silence. The first motion that he made was the movement of his eyes. They darted between the eyes of the three of us, making a circle, and on about the 10th rotation, he took a deep breath and said, "I am happy that you are both happy, I just need time to adjust to this news. It just seems very soon to me, but at the same time, I know that you have both spent everyday together since you were born, so just give me sometime to catch up to where you are. I'm just going to go for a run and try to clear my head."

Mom said to him, "I'll come with you, OK." Dad nodded, and they both headed out the kitchen door.

Without another word, Jacob started eating. I was pretty sure that Jacob would never choose another woman over me, but I was concerned that his true love may be food. I chuckled to myself and he looked up.

"That went better than I thought it would," Jake choked out with a mouth full of food.

I laughed hysterically, "We are going to need to work on your table manners prior to the wedding."

With a devilish grin on his face, Jacob stuck two of his fingers into his mashed potatoes, then smeared them all around my lips. He leaned in and licked the potatoes off my face, and then passionately kissed me. He pulled back and said, "There are some advantages to some bad manners." I laughed, then Jake added, "Yeah, I expected yelling, threats, and possible death when we broke the news to your parents, but they both took it well."

"That's because they love both of us and want us to be happy. You are already family, and they did have 8 years to prepare for this," I replied.

We ate and joked. It was almost like dinners had been on Isle Esme, but now they were more special, because of the love and intimacy which we could share. When we were finished eating, we quickly washed our dishes in the sink. I turned to Jake and asked, "Want to watch some movies tonight?"

"Sounds good, what do you want to watch," he replied.

"Underworld and Underworld Evolutions," I said with a smirk.

Jake laughed and said, "There's nothing life a good comedy to set the mood."

I rolled my eyes and said, "I really think the love story between the Vampire and the werewolf is hot, but Scott Speedman has nothing on you, you Lichen."

We watched movies, kissed and cuddled for the rest of the night. We both laid on our sides on the same couch, this my back pressed up against the front of his body. When it got to the sex scene between Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman in Evolutions, I rolled over so that I was facing Jake. I put my hand to Jake's cheek, and showed him the scene, with him and I in it instead. He gasped and grabbed my hair, pulled me down forcefully into his kiss, and wrapped his arms around me. I felt his erection pressing against me. I felt both of our pulses and breathes racing, and I wrapped my leg around his thigh, trying to pull him closer to me. My other hand began to explore his body. I felt his strong muscular chest, down to the perfectly defined muscles of his twelve pack, and then I slid my hand down, to cup his erection through his jeans. I head Jacob groan, and then tense. He gently grabbed my hand, and pulled it back up to his neck, then whispered into my ear, "Slow Nessie, we are going to take this slow."

"You are the one who proposed to me," I hissed, feeling somewhat rejected.

Jacob put both of his hands on either side of my face, cradling it, and looked at me apprehensively, like he was trying to find the right words to say. He took a deep breath and said, "I asked you to marry me because I can't live without you. I asked you to marry me because I love you more than I can even express. You are more important to me than my own life, but there is one more reason, the least important reason really, that I proposed to you already."

"And that is," I asked.

"I can't control myself when I am with you. My first urge is to give you everything that you want, and I know that you want me almost as much as I want you.."

"Almost," I interrupted questioning.

"But I want you to be my wife before we make love. I love touching you, we can continue to explore each other in different ways for now, but I do not want to make love to you until our wedding night. I love you too much to do anything to you that may be considered dishonorable.

I sat up, grabbed my cell phone and started dialing. Jacob looked up at me perplexed. The call was answered on the second ring. "Hi Aunt Alice," I said, "Jacob continued to look at me questioningly, but I pretended to ignore him and kept talking to my aunt. "Anymore visions," I asked her, knowing full well that we would have been called instantly if she had. "None, that's good," I replied. "When are you guys planning on coming back to Forks," I asked, and then I paused for her response. "You'll be back on Friday, perfect, because I need your help with something. I need you to help me plan a wedding ASAP."

The high pitched squeal of delight from my aunt was so loud that I had to pull the phone away from my ear. Jacob laughed and pulled my face back down to his to kiss me.
