AN: I tried to make it as perfect as possible. I've never been on a date before so... enjoy. I think this is pretty cute.
Breaking Eclipse: Renesmee and Jacob
Chapter 20: First Date
Renesmee Cullen
I was giving myself a migraine for two things, one I had nothing in mind to wear to the date, Unknown didn't give me a call of when the Volturi will be coming. It could be any day now that they could come. I was literally pulling my hair out of my head. It reminded me of the week before I turned 16… it was a week I would never forget.
I kept telling myself that I shouldn't worry about it, besides, the never shared a dream with Jacob in it. Only if he was helping me recover. Only in front of Seth.
I told myself not to think about Seth either, tonight was about me and Jacob. I didn't think he'd mention him either, and I was glad.
Charlie already left for the big day, he didn't ask why I wasn't going, I was glad he didn't. I told him I was spending the night with Jacob, he shrugged and left out the door. After I finished washing the dishes, I went upstairs and looked around. If only Alice was here… what was I supposed to wear on a date anyway. This wasn't hanging out, this was a date. Our first date.
If only I knew what he was planning on. If we were going for dinner, I had to be fancy. If we were going to a movie, I'd dress casual. If we were alone… what would he be planning… what would Jake be doing tonight? Even looking at his outfit would give me some idea of some sort.
I decided to go for a blue button up dress shirt with dark dressy jeans—fancy shirt, but casual with jeans. I didn't wear much make up, I wore a little mascara and brown eyeliner—Alice always said brown looked great with my eyes and slightly tanned skin. My hair was already curly but I curled it a little more using my straightener—another birthday gift from Alice for my 17th birthday. I looked pretty but casual at the same time.
Jacob picked me up at 5:25, five minutes early. I took deep breaths before running down stairs and getting the door, I was now excited for this. When I opened the door, Jacob's eyes widened as well as mine. He looked great, casual but great. The black shirt he wore made him look… sexy. His hair was a little neater. Our hearts beat fast and he smiled.
"You look beautiful." He said, smiling wider. I smiled back.
"You don't look so bad yourself." He laughed a little.
"You're early." I said.
"I couldn't wait. It's not every day I get to take out the most beautiful girl on the planet." I blushed.
"I guess so." He then took out some roses from behind him with an orchid in the middle. I gasped.
"Jake… they're beautiful." I lightly kissed his cheek and he smiled. I went to quickly get a vase for them, at werepire speed. Jacob walked inside and watched from the front door. He didn't say anything, he just leaned against the door frame casually. When I looked at him, he laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"I feel so… young. Like a sixteen year old going on his first date."I laughed and walked to him.
"But you are sixteen." I said. He crookedly smiled.
"No, I'm thirty two." I shook my head.
"No, you're not." I touched his face. "Tonight, we're both sixteen." He closed his eyes and smiled.
"I guess so." He said. "Just Jacob and Nessie." I pressed my lips in a fine line.
"Maybe… what if you gave me the nick name on our first date?" he shook his head.
"No, I gave it to you the first day I laid eyes on you." I rolled my eyes.
"Where would that be? The day I was born."
"No, my father's best friend is Chief of Police. One day, I was just driving my Dad to his friend's house and as soon as I saw the chief's granddaughter, I fell in love with her."
"No, you imprinted me."
"No, we're human tonight." I frowned.
"So… no running tonight?" He laughed.
"Nope. Just human." I pouted then huffed.
"Fine. Jacob, Nessie, human all the way." He nodded.
"That sounds about right." We smiled and laughed.
"So, what do you have planned tonight?" I asked. He shrugged.
"Everything a first date should be, well, except the end." I raised my eye brows.
"What's at the end of the date?" I asked. He laughed.
"I'm not telling you." I didn't argue, a surprise is a surprise. "Let's get going." I smiled, and our first human date began.
Jake and I were watching another action romance in the nearest movie theatre. He started laughing when we walked by the boys washroom.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"I can't tell you, we're human remember?" I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, so let's say what happened to my mom's friend at the movies? Why is it he laughs when we walk by a movie theatre washroom?" He smiled, playing along with what I said.
"Because the last time your mom's friend went to the movies, it was with Mike Newton and your mom. Mike was puking his guts out from the gore he couldn't handle. Marshmallow." He mumbled the last part and I laughed. At least I had something to put against my gym teacher now.
"Nice story." He laughed.
The movie was pretty cool, Jake reached for my hand when the first few scenes were ending and into the plot line. His hand was warm in mine and I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder. His fingers played with my own, I ended up not really watching the movie much and thinking more about what Jacob was doing. I didn't think he was paying much attention either.
In the middle of one scene, he looked at me.
"Do you think it's corny to have a first kiss during a movie?" he asked. I shrugged.
"Suppose it isn't?" I whispered. "Suppose it was the second one and our first was when I coincidently saw you at La Push beach? Or I went with Charlie to Billy's house and I watched you work on a new car?" he shrugged.
"Then that kiss wouldn't have counted. First date, first kiss."
"Wouldn't that be when you take me home at the front door?" He shook his head.
"No, Charlie isn't home. I'm not your ordinary guy taking you out." That was true, he was my lover.
"Well, then I guess it wouldn't be corny." He laughed and took my face in one of his hands and kissed my lips. No tongue play, since this was our 'first kiss'. But that didn't mean we didn't have open mouth kisses.
When he let go, he kissed my cheek and smiled.
When the movie was over, he took me back to his car. It wasn't quite dark yet, it was only about 6:45. He didn't tell me where we were going next. He kept my hand the whole way. He laughed at the most random moments, I didn't question it though. I guessed it was that sixteen year old moment we were having. The silence wasn't uncomfortable though, it was just… appropriate.
He pulled up to a fancy restaurant that I was unfamiliar with. When I was about to get out of the car, Jacob took my wrist.
"Okay, so now it's a year later." I gave him a weird look. He laughed. "We've been dating a year now." Oh. I nodded.
"What happened over the last year?" I asked, curiously.
"You tell me." He said. I bit my lip, trying to think of a story.
"Um… we're in love but haven't confessed it yet. You know all about me as I do about you. And you are nervous because you're planning on confessing it tonight."
"What if I'm not nervous and I want to tell you everything." Why was he making this so complicated?
"You already have." I said.
"Except that I'm in love with you." I shrugged.
"I guess so." He laughed and nodded. He finally walked around the car—painfully in human speed—and opened my door. I gracefully walked out of it as if I was a movie star coming out of a limo.
When we walked inside, we had a male waiter. He had brown hair and a square jaw with brown eyes. Jacob rolled his eyes when he started checking me out. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me toward him. When the waiter saw it, his face fell a little.
"Reservation under 'Jacob and Nessie'." The waiter took a while to speak.
"Um… this way." He was about to set us in a booth but Jacob tapped his shoulder.
"Can we have some where more private?" the waiter shrugged and nodded, walking to the balcony area. I've never really seen someone request another seat, except on television.
Before the waiter left he just stood there looking at me, I stared at Jacob and he stared back trying to ignore the waiter. Jacob had to clear his throat in order for the waiter to leave and say "Your server will be here shortly." Then left quickly.
When he left I leaned back on my chair, he did the same.
"Why exactly did you request a private area?" We were pretty much the only ones out there.
"Because, I have something to tell you." I raised my eyebrows, I knew what it was.
"What is it, Jake?" I asked, in mock curiosity. "You can tell me anything." He took a deep breath, pretending to be nervous. He took my hands into his.
"Renesmee…" he smiled, nervous again.
"Yes, Jacob?" I said. I smiled.
"I... I love you." I smiled and he kissed me. But we were rudely interrupted by the new waiter.
"Nessie?!" they said. I looked up, and smiled.
"Grant?!" he smiled back. "You work here now?"
"Yeah, my uncle owns this place and has wanted me to work here for a while. Called me as soon as he heard I needed a job." I nodded.
"Well, that's good." Jacob squeezed my hand to turn my attention back to him.
"Um... What would you like to start with?" Grant asked.
Dinner was great, he let me pay for dinner since he paid for the movie. Grant and Jake didn't argue that I had no job, I still had a lot of money to burn. He said the next place we went to would be two years exactly, technically we were my age now. Eighteen and madly in love.
When we drove, Jacob's heart was pounding and his hand started sweating. I didn't ask why, but I probably should've.
"So... Um, what's next?" I asked, I expected him not to tell me, but he did this time.
"We're just going to La Push beach." he said. I nodded.
"So... Um, two years, wow..." he laughed, but it sounded like one of those nervous ones.
"Your turn." We reached the beach and he told me what happened over the years.
We were madly in love, still virgins, I cheated on him once last month but he forgave me for it, and we were celebrating a special day, he wouldn't tell me what day it was, he just reminded me of what he said yesterday and letting me think about it.
When I got out of the car, he closed the door, and pushed his body against mine into the car. He kisses me passionately but fiercely.
"I love you." he said. I smiled.
"I love you, too." We were into the tongue business now and a bit more touchy, we were in the state we were now, minus the time stuff. We kissed for a few minutes then he smiled, took my hand and we started walking on the beach.
"So... Is this the end of our date?" I asked.
"Not yet." he said.
We just talked, laughed, made up stories about our families, everything really.
We sat on a rock for a little bit now, my feet hurting from my shoes. Then Jacob got up.
"What are you doing?" I asked. He took off his own shoes and socks until he was bare foot.
"Get up." he told me.
"What?" I asked. He took my hand and I was bare foot in the sand like he was.
"What are you doing?" I asked again.
"Dancing in the moon light with the girl I love." I smiled."I thought you don't dance. Besides, there's no music" I said
"I still have something left in me at prom, besides, we don't need music." I laughed.
"Our personal prom..." I sighed. He laughed.
"Yeah..." I remembered the song we danced to at prom, Jacob hummed it, I lay my ear to his chest. His heart beat was also good to dance to, I loved him so much.
When he finishes humming it, he leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't a long kiss. He told me he loved me again and I smiled and told him back. We kissed, kissed and kissed.
Then he said "Nessie..." he put his hands on my face. The sighed. "Renesmee," he repeated. "I've loved you the moment I saw you and I promise to love you every moment of forever. I never lived before I met you and I never knew what love really was until you showed me how to live and love" our hearts beat so fast... It couldn't be... he took both my hands into his, he was about to bend down but then it started to rain. He got back up as we started laughing, it was pouring. He took me into the forest part of the beach and he took my hands again.
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen," he said over the rain. "I love you more than my own very life and you're everything I want and nothing more. You give me everything by breathing, by your heart beating, by living, by being with me every moment."
Then he knelt down on one knee, an honour to see him do that, being alpha he would never kneel to anyone... But he was for me.
"Nessie, will you marry me?" he asked, holding a gold ring with a little diamond on it. I gasped.
"Yes..." I whispered, barely able to speak. "Of course I will!" he got up from the ground and I attacked his lips with mine.
As we kissed, he slid the ring onto my left hand on my third finger. How romantic, a kiss in the rain... It was so magical, so perfect, this couldn't be real. Maybe I was dreaming... But if I was, I hoped that no one would wake me up.
AN: I hope you liked it! Greenpeach20 will be writing the next chapter... yes folks, spicy lime on its way =D (Oh, and by the way, I didn't mention this in A New Dawn but the song they danced to was "If my heart was a house" by Owl City, not really a fan of the dude, i just thought it was a perfect Prom song for them)
