2.
Bryan would be staying home with George until my date was over.
My father and I went out to our navy blue 2008 new model Mercedes-Benz C300. We drove a few miles to get to the other side of Forks to the far off driveway in the middle of the forest…leading to the large white house in a small clearing.
George dropped me off, and than he was on his way. I rang the doorbell of the Cullen's home, and was a bit surprised to see not Edward, but a tall girl with blond hair and a short one with short spiky black hair. The blond was very beautiful, in her own way, but luckily I already knew why. The short brunette was very cheerful and seemed very excited, and just as beautiful and pale, both (and probably the whole family) with gold eyes, she then turned to the blond and said, "Go tell Nessie that Matt's here Rosalie."
Oh so the blond was Rosalie, than who was the shortie? I then heard Rosalie shout up the stairs to Nessie.
"Nessie, Alice wants you to come down. Matts here, tell Tiff and the mutt to let you go."
Alice got it.
By why was Tiffany here, and who was 'the mutt"?
"Who's the…mutt?" I asked Alice.
"Oh that's just what we call, um Tiff's little brother." She said hesitantly.
Suddenly I heard her footsteps walking down the long staircase. And I knew nothing else.
She was beautiful! The most amazing creature I'd ever laid my eyes on. I just couldn't believe I was good enough to be her date. And even considering we were both vampires, she still looked more beautiful compared to me.
Nessie was wearing a white beaded dress with a blue sash across her waist. She also wore a shiny gold bracelet and a small ring on her left hand. Her hair was curled, and their was a slight blush to her face (probably from makeup) and a bit of light blue eye shadow and mascara, but luckily it wasn't a lot, I didn't like girls with too much makeup.
Alice seemed to look pretty pleased with herself; I guessed that she and Rosalie helped Nessie out a bit.
Nessie was right at my side, as her family had said goodbye. Nessie then led me over to introduce me to Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Jasper, Edward, and Bella. Bella was very enthusiastic and eager to meet me. Edward was a good gentleman, but seemed to be looking at me in a weird way.
Then I met a boy named Jacob Black, I had no clue of why he was in the house. I could easily tell he wasn't like us. His skin was dark, and he had extremely long black hair. When I shock his hand, it was as hot as a burning stove, not cold. But he was eyeing me in another way like Edward, like they were both glaring at me. Suddenly, Edward chuckled, and than so did Jacob. I had guessed that Edward read Jacob's mind and laughed about something inside his head, probably about me.
But Edward still had that look to his face while listening to me speak to the family, like he was trying to read my thoughts. He then had a confused look on his face, and his eyes quickly flickered to Bella.
Finally it was time to go, and um…Jasper I think, the other blond, would be driving both me and Nessie to the movies, and out for a small dinner afterwards.
We got into a black Mercedes and drove pretty quickly back to Port Angeles.
We then got to the theater and I could just barely make out the small conversation between Jasper and Nessie.
"Don't worry I'll be on the lookout and informing Edward," he said softly, assuming I wouldn't hear.
"I don't think you need to worry about that Jazz, I trust Matt, and so should Edward," she replied.
I felt so…so…in love with this girl as soon as she said those words, "I trust Matt." Wow.
"Have fun then, I'll see you in couple hours." And then Jasper was on his way out of the theater parking lot.
"I can't wait to see "Wildfire"! I've been dying to see it," Nessie explained once inside the theater.
I too was even excited for the movie, it seemed very good according to the reviews. A small town girl with the dream of Horseback Riding and also appointed to a small love.
I paid for the tickets and for some reason, Nessie got a small popcorn and soda. I wondered why, but she was just probably trying to fool me out. I figured why not, and got a small coke, maybe I'd try it.
Once in the theater the room slowly darkened, and the previews began. One was about a horror movie, and from my peripheral vision, I felt Nessie wince. The next few were just about romance and comedies, it was pretty funny, and I did chuckle a bit.
Finally "Wildfire" was about to start. I slowly started to hyperventilate calmly as the lights went pitch black; my skin was so visible in the dark! But I was even more astonished that Neisse's wasn't as much. Suddenly I hadn't realized my elbow was on the armchair until Nessie put her elbow there too. Our elbows were touching, and were continuously for about the next 40 minutes.
During the small scene of provoking love, I couldn't help but open up my hand that was on the armchair, and of course she would notice. It seemed to be minutes that it was open and free, waiting for her hand, but it was only a few seconds.
Had she not seen my hand? I wondered, maybe she was just too focused on the movie.
Then I felt a soft movement against the seat next to me, and Nessie's hand slowly slid into mine.
I was so happy, I turned to smile to her, and she smiled back. I then took a dreadful sip of my soda, and just barley swallowed it down while she wasn't looking.
We were holding hands for the rest of the movie, which ended as we had both predicted. The young girl who had won the race, and most importantly the love of her life.
We confidently walked out of the theater, and immediately dropped hands when we both saw Jasper, and chuckled.
"So how was the movie?" he asked us
"Great," said Renessme
"Yeah it was a good show," I said.
"I'm glad you both had fun," replied Jasper, and then he drove at all speeds towards the restaurant, and in a way, it was sort of our restaurant, the same as on our first date.
Jasper dropped us off, and we were on our way in when Nessie's phone vibrated in her pocket. She picked it up with one look, and turned it off.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, it wasn't important, it wont interrupt again," she said with an apologetic look.
"No, its fine, if it's an emergency or something…" she then cut me off with her hand held high.
"Its fine Matt, don't worry about it."
We were than seated by a waiter, and he asked us for our drinks, and also to order
"Um, I'll just have the lemon chicken, nothing to drink" said Nessie, she turned to me
"Just a coke," I replied.
When the waiter left, there was a blank expression on Renessme's face. Like she was remembering something, or just staring off into space. I wish I was her father right now, being able to read her thoughts.
A few moments passed and she had come back to the universe.
"I liked your family, they seemed nice," I started to say.
"Thanks, they seem to like you a lot," she said
"Well…not all of them, Edward seems not too happy about me, and what's the deal with that Jacob Black kid?" I asked
He took a sip form her coke, perfectly casual before answering,
"Don't mind Edward, he'll come around, and as for Jake, well, he's an old family friend, he hangs out at my house almost 24/7." She explained.
I took in a slow breath.
"Almost 24/7?" I asked
"Well he has to have a life outside of my house sometimes." She instantly replied.
"But then why is he at your house all the time?" I asked.
"Well his father is in a wheelchair, and he always helps him, but he just needs time to get away from reality you know?"
"And the place to do that is at your house?" I obliged.
"Well, in his case…yes." She said
"I still don't' fully understand," I objected.
She hesitated before speaking this time, and not just because the waiter came back with our food.
"Here you go, One lemon chicken and one coke, are you sure I can't get you guys anything else?" he asked.
"No," we both said together, and we chuckled when he left.
"So what were you saying?" I asked
Again she hesitated, and took in a deep breath.
"Jake…well…he…kinda has a…a…crush…on me." She replied.
I slowly, pulled both my hands into fists. This guy would be in her house everyday, and he has a crush on her!
Nessie seemed to notice, and then she sighed.
"I should have told you earlier," she sighed again, "I didn't want to hurt you."
She could have told me something different, but at least she was honest and cared about my feelings.
"It's ok, thank you for telling me….so….do you like him too?" I challenged.
Again she hesitated.
"Well, Jake has a…a certain, condition, ya, and his condition was to be in love with the first person he saw, and that person had to be me. He's practically been in love with me since the day I was born."
She sighed again, there was something she was obviously not telling me, something related to vampires.
Suddenly she was whispering to me.
"I wish I could tell you everything Matt, I wish this was easier for me." She whispered in a sad tone.
At least she was trying to tell me, I know this must be extremely hard for her. Then I suddenly wondered weather or not I'd be able to tell her. I never though about it before.
I slowly reached my hand over to comfort her, while stroking her thumb lightly.
At that instant her head snapped up like a gun from a bullet. And her eyes immediately went to our hands. Mine was just a little bit paler than hers, and I always wondered why. I feared that she might have felt the cold temperature of my hand.
Nessie's expression was full of horror, and confusion, I think she was finally beginning to understand.
She seemed to be telling herself something inside her head, or answering Edward. But what if she read minds too! But then again, I was a shielder. I never thought of that as well, how much did I not know about Renessme Cullen?
Suddenly her expression slowly went back to normal.
"Do I seem different to you than most people?" she asked.
What was she playing at I thought, what was this beautiful girl doing to me?
"Yes, you seem, different, than most people." I answered her.
"How?" she asked again
"Well, you're probably the most beautiful person I've ever met," I said with a soft smile.
She seemed to be blushing, but I knew she couldn't, or was I wrong again? Or was it her makeup?
"Anything else?" she asked.
"Well you also seemed old fashioned, and well, very mature for your age." I said
She chuckled at that, why couldn't I figure her out?
I started to then stare into her eyes.
"What?" she asked, staring back
"Your eyes, they're also very beautiful, like a light topaz with sudden brown." I explained.
"Well, yes, my physical appearance, may be different…anything else?" she asked again.
"Nothing I can think of, but tell me something, "I obliged.
"What?" she asked
"Do I seem different than most people?"
She looked at me thoroughly before answering.
"I honestly think it's pretty much the same, but your eyes..." she looked into them, "They're like two light little cherries."
I chuckled again.
"…you also never eat anything and you barley drink more than a sip."
She was getting there.
"And what do you think of that?" I challenged
"I have a few theories, but I'm still not so sure."
"Tell me one little theory than."
Again, right there, her face went blank and stared deep back into space once again, soon enough she was back.
"I'd rather not." She said softly.
"Please?" I asked, trying to desperately charm her.
The waiter than came back before she could answer, and then the door of the restaurant burst open with…I couldn't believe it…with Tiffany coming in!
Fortunately Nessie's face was just as surprised as I was, and Tiffany began,
"I'm so, so, so sorry for interrupting your date guys, I just had to give back Nessie's purse from earlier today, she accidentally left it in my mom's car."
"It's no problem Tiff, thank you for being so considerate." I said
"No problem, see you guys on Monday." Said Tiff, and then she was out the door.
I then paid the check, and Jasper was waiting once again in the black Mercedes. Nessie said we would be going back to her place for some dessert, but I wouldn't forget to ask her theories.
Later for sure.
