Chapter 9: Imprinties
"Jacob! Jake, come on!" I pleaded.
"No, Nessie. Your Dad would kill me if he found out about this."
"Well then he won't!" I continued.
"Oh yeah, that's certainly a possibility," his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Jacob, pleaseee, It's not even that high up. And besides I'm as intractable as you or anybody else." I said curtly.
He snorted, "Renesmee your only half vampire, the other half is human. And the last time I checked humans aren't intractable. Just ask your mom, she should know a lot about that, as often as she visited the emergency room. . ."
That made me crack a smile. "Jacob, I love you. . . Please?" I cooed.
Jacob smiled, and leaned down far enough to touch his forehead to mine, his hot breathe caressing my face. "No." He breathed.
I quickly pulled away ignoring the magnetic pull. "Jacob!" I whined stamping my foot into the sand of the beach.
"Renesmee, look how high that cliff is. Do you want to die? Or just lose all function of your body?" Surly he wouldn't be to keen on that.
Fine. If he wasn't going to take that approach I had tactics; other ways. I took a step back toward him, his bare chest touching my sweater. My fingers absently 90o\-/t7yuracing patterns onto his chest.
I fluttered my eyelashes, " Please?" That should stick for awhile.
"Nessie!" He whined, I fluttered my eyelashes furiously. "Fine!" He threw his hands in the air ," But when Edward finds out. . . Well. . .Ummm. . . You pressured me into it."
"Yes!" I exaggerated the s. "Thank you, thank you so much," I chimed throwing my arms around his neck, and planting a kiss on his chest. Jacob was finally taking me cliff diving.
He buried his face in my hair, " But. Under one condition." I open my mouth to protest but he silenced me. "You have to jump with me every time."
"I think that's doable," I breathed, getting as close to him as I possibly could. "I embrace your heat."
He chortled, "As do I. . . Now come on It's going to get dark soon. We'd better commit the crime against humanity now, so your Dad can punish us later."
I giggled. "Let me go get the Volvo and we can drive up to the top okay? Wait here." We could have easily walked the top of the cliff but I knew that if we drove it there Jake and I would have been compelled to go back up after our first jump to retrieve it - giving me my opportunity to work my way into another. . .
"No. I'll go get the car. And you wait here." He said smugly starting to walk in the direction of the car.
"Jacob!" I yelled after him. He turned to look at me. "Please don't crash the car." I spoke sarcastically.
He winked at me and turned back in the direction of the car.
I look up at the cliff. It wasn't that high. Why was everybody trying to shield me away from it? I sighed. They all tried to protect me from everything.
Suddenly I head a squealing sound - like someone driving very fast down the road , shredding the tires.
I spun around, startled- to see Jacob slam on the brakes as he reached the start of the sand on the beach- honking the horn twice.
I smiled to myself before running to meet Jacob.
"Took you long enough!" I giggled. He wined at me, pulling me as close as the car allowed.
"So. . . Have you ever jumped before?" I asked, nonchalant.
Jacob jumped a little in his seat as to answer my question.
I rolled my eyes ," I mean off the cliff, smarty."
"Umm. . . I've been twice, actually," He stated.
"Was it. . .fun?"
He deliberated for a moment. "One out of two times," he finally said.
I looked up at Jake, he seemed deep in thought, and blanched as if he was thinking of something.
"Why do you say that?" I questioned.
He evaded my question- which made me anxious. "Quil and Embry took me, when last year around this time. It was awesome. The rush, the . . . Adrenaline. . ." He trailed off, trying to leave me lost in thought, but I was smarter than that.
"Why didn't you like it the 2nd time, Jacob?"
The car suddenly came to a stop and Jake was out of the car on his way to open my door. We were at the top of the cliff.
I hadn't thought he'd bring me to the very top, the first time we jumped. This seemed to side track me from the matter just at hand.
Jacob turned to grin at me. I arched an eyebrow, "The top? What happened to ' Do you want to die?'" I imitated his voice best I could.
His infectious grin became bigger- even though I thought it impossible. "Well I just figured if we were breaking the rues, why not go all out on it?"
I laughed at that- he tried to look nonchalant but sounded like a five year old who had just received money from the tooth fairy.
Jacob jerked his head to right, indicating for me to follow him - to what I guessed was the designated place to jump-; putting one hand on my waist to guide me. The tension about my jump was really setting in on him.
We walked the distance the Volvo couldn't make and made it to the very top of the cliff.
"So . . . Umm are you gonna go like that?" He said awkwardly ,gestured toward my clothes.
I looked down at myself. I was wearing my favorite sweater- light purple, stopping at the elbows, with a v-neck cut- safely concealing a light tank top beneath it- with a pair of blue jeans.
"Uh. . . No." I swiftly removed my sweater and pulled off my shoes and sock. "Now. I'm ready," I chimed.
He smiled- all awkwardness gone. Suddenly Jake pulled me off my feet and into his arms- jogging the last few steps to the edge.
"Wow. . ."I said in awe. The sight was beautiful. The sun as setting on the horizon just now- turning the sky a beautiful orange-pinkish color - Making the dense green forests of Forks a beautiful organism color like the sky it's self.
It was like a picture you'd see at an art gallery- but the price would be to expensive for you to buy. The kind of picture that you just couldn't stop thinking about- wishing you'd had the money to buy it. The kind of picture no one thought was real.
The sound of Jacob's voice brought me back to reality. "One. . .two . . .three! Jump!" He screamed, scanning he watery depths below.
All of the sudden I was flying thought the air. Adrenaline rushing through my veins. My hair flying every which direction, and all the while Jacob's strong arms around me.
And then the water engulfed me. Pulling me from the surface. I was about to have a full scale panic attack. I felt like I was drowning, but all that time warm arms still held me close. I absolutely loved it.
Abruptly we broke surface.
"Wow," I breathed.
"Are you okay?!" Jacob hovered, lifting me up a little so he could examine me.
"I'm fine mom," I joked.
"I bet you are . . ." He said quietly, looking me up in down.
I giggled. "Let's just get back to shore before someone sends out a search party. It's getting dark."
Jacob smiled and nodded, while taking off for shore with me on his back.
We remained quiet the way back to shore, just taking the moment in. Though the way back wasn't to far. Jake made record time.
We made our way onto the beach hand-in-hand- in my opinion a very private, loving moment.
"Thank you." I whispered.
He stopped mid-stride ,and turned to me. "It. Was my pleasure." He said very matter-oh-factly.
"Yes. It was."
He gave me a huge infectious grin. Flashing his very white teeth, making a very appealing contrast between them and his russet skin.
At that moment I had the immediate urge to kiss Jacob.
I stood on my tip toes and gripped the back of his neck, edging him toward me.
His lips just barley touched mine, teasing me. But I was having none of that.
I forced myself into him, making the kiss abruptly deeper- only for it to be broken
"What's wrong?" I half whispered.
He jerked his head to the left in response.
Jake usually didn't care if strangers saw us, I was the only one who really did. But I realized why he did this time.
Seth walked along the beach with what seemed to be Seth. But someone else was with him. A beautiful Quileute girl- or so I thought.
The girl had the very dark brown hair, so dark it could easily be mistaken for black, that flowed just beneath her shoulders.. While her eyes were the most magnificent shade of brown I'd ever seen. They almost made me jealous. My eyes were not the same intense brown. Her lips were very full, while the bottom was slightly fuller than the top - adding to her beauty.
