Chapter Seven - Dad's Discomfort
I rolled over cluthing the duvet, something stopped me and I smiled. I opened my eyes slowly and I was faced with Jacob laying still hands behind his head, he didn't look at me, my smile faded.
"Morning Jake." I said cuddling up into him, I wound my feet around his, I was warmed instantly.
"Your father is going to kill me." he said turning his head, his face was blank. I looked at myself, I was wearing Jake's t-shirt from last night so I was dressed and Jake was sleeping in his boxers like he always did so nothing coulds have happened. Did he hate sharing with me? Why was my Dad going to kill him?
"Jake...why?" I said staring at him, I crawled onto his stomach to look at him properly. "For what?" I added. Jacob's blank mask turned into a goofy grin.
"For this." he laughed and then rolled me over so he was on top, I felt his body but none of his weight, we kissed. I wound my arms around his neck and pulled my body up to his, we rolled back over.
"That was nice. Can we do it again?" I said tracing the lines on his chest.
"Very nice. Maybe later love" he said nodding, he sat up and i sat on his lap, the duvet was wrapped around both of us keeping us in a tight cacoon. He kissed my head as I watched the forest outside the window come to life, the sun was high in the sky so it must have been late morning.
"Wow how late is it?" I asked raising my head to look at him. Jacob scrambled for his watch on the table, his face turned into a mask of horror.
"Shit! Your family will be here soon!" he said leaping from the bed, he automatically started rumaging around the room for our clothes. I sat there watching him.
"Damn, I need to get get a clean pair of sweats you get dressed." Jacob said hurtling my clothes towards me. Jake was so wound up he'd never find them on his own so i lept from the bed right after him laughing, I fell straight into Jacob, thats when I smelt them. My family, close. I peeked my head around Jake and saw the shocked faces of each family member and anger on my father's face.
"Hey...uh..people." I muttered out.
"Edward it's not what you think." Jacob started holding out his hands as a sign of peace. I tugged at the length of the shirt, making it look longer, Dad's eyes focused on me.
"WELL IT SURE DOES LOOK LIKE SOMETHING HAS BEEN GOING ON!" Dad ranted, he looked deadly. I stood infront of Jake, his eyes grew wide at the lenght of the tshirt. Damn I should have worn my own pyjamas.
"Dad we only slept together." I said calmly, I could hear Emmett's silent laughter I realised my mistake. "I don't mean sex Dad, I mean both sleeping next to each other in the same bed." I corrected my voice on the brink of hysteria. I pushed for Jake to go back, I had never seen my father look so deadly before. He turned and stormed out of the house followed by Jasper, Emmett and my mother.
"Go get changed." I whispered to Jake. Alice, Rosalie, Carlilse and Esme stared at me.
"So...how was yuor flight?" I said sitting next to Alice, they just continued to stare at me.
"What?" I asked getting annoyed now.
"So uh..did you have fun?" Rosalie asked giggling.
"For goodness sake, Jake and I never..." I started.
"We know honey, we are just asking your have you had fun." Esme said putting a cold hand on my knee, I made another attempt to make the t-shirt longer.
"Plenty, there was a bonfire last night." I said nodding, I looked towards the door, I could hear angry rants.
"Don't worry about your Dad, he'll come round." Alice said rubbing my arm, I raised my eyebrows at her. "It was just a bit of a shock for him, thats all." she added.
"I don't think your wardrobe choices helped matters." Rosalie giggled and I scowled.
"Go get changed Nessie." Carlisle laughed and I needed no pushing, I fluidly rose from the couch and plumeted into Jacob's room, I fell straight into him.
"I was right." Jake said hugging me
"About what?"
"Your father is going to kill me."
"No, he's just shocked, even if we did it's none of his business."
"Nessie..."
"I know what your about to say, but i'm not a little girl no more Jake, i'm going to be your wife. My Dad will just have to get over it!" I said getting annoyed now. "I'm going to get changed now."
"Ok, I need to go and see Sam about something, will you be alright?"
"I'll be fine Jake, I will go and talk to my Dad. I love you." I sighed pulling away
"I love you too." he replied then he left the room. I quickly dressed and pulled a hair brush through my bird nest of a hair, it would just have to do. I walked out of the room and everyone had been reassembeld.
"Ready to go home Ness?" Carlisle asked.
"Sure." I said walking towards my Dad. The others left leaving just us two.
"I think you have an apology to make." I said
"I don't think so." he replied
"We I say you do! Why did you flip out earlier?" I asked
"Why do you think?! You and him in such little clothing, same room, same bed..." he trailed off
"Even if me and Jake had done it, it's none of your business, i'm going to be his wife soon Dad." I said pleading
"Your still my little girl." he said flatly.
"I'm eighteen"
"I think you're too young to marry." he said quietly.
"Well i think differently, he's not going to hurt me Dad." I said speaking loud enough for both of us.
"You don't know that!" he said angrily
"Yes I do! Jake loves me and I love him more than anything in this world, don't you get that?!" I said crying now.
"You may love each other now..." he started
"So thats what it may be like for you and Mom?" I asked
"No thats..." he started, this was hurting him but I couldn't stop myself.
"What? Different? How is it different? Because Jake's not you and i'm not Mom, Jake won't leave me, not like you left Mom!" I screamed, Dad's face fell into a cold mask and I ran from the house. I ran deep into the forests, soon I heard someone call me.
"Nessie? Where are you going?" I heard Seth yell after me. I felt the ground move and suddenly a wolf stood in front of me blocking my path.
Seth.
"Seth let me go." I said crying, I sat on the ground my head in my lap. I felt the ground move again and I heard Seth putting on his clothes.
"Nessie, please tell me what's wrong." he said, when Seth phased, Sam and Jacob would have heard his thoughts, his location and how I looked. In the distance I heard heavy paws.
"I've hurt my Dad, but he just doesn't understand." I sobbed, the thud of the paws grew louder. I felt Seth's arms around my shoulders and I sat there crying. The ground moved and suddenly Jacob was beside me.
"Nessie, shh what's wrong?" he asked pulling me into his chest, I heard Seth run off, must have been to give us privacy.
"I've hurt my Dad, he just doesn't understand and I got so angry...that..that." trailed off
"Nessie what did you do?" he asked pain in his voice.
"I told him that you'd never leave me like he left Mom." I whispered, the whole forest went silent. I could hear our heavy breathing and fast beating hearts. When Jacob didn't reply I continued. "I just wanted him to apologise, he said I was to young to marry and that you might leave me, it just slipped out."
"It's ok i'm sure he knew it was an accident and..." Jake started but I cut him off.
"You never saw his face, he'll never forgive me. I've never seen him so hurt and distanced." I cried burrowing deeper into his chest.
"I'm sure they're at the house in the clearing now, let's go see him and apol-" I cut him off again.
"Apologise? No Jake, i'm sorry I hurt him but I don't see why I should make the frst move." huffed.
"The best person is always the person who forgives and forgets." Jacob told me seriously and he was right. As stubborn as I was I hated hurting my Dad, it was time to apologise.
"Come on then, it's back to school tomorrow." I sighed. Jacob phased and I rode on his back to the house in the clearing, timeless in grace, beautiful in stance.
