Hey everyone! I'm back! I seriously don't ever want to leave my stories for that long again. I missed writing :(, but I had an AMAZING time in Chicago. The taping of Oprah was so much fun, and watching Eclipse was... I don't have words to explain how awesome it was! If any of you want to know how the movie was, which scenes made it into the movie or want to ask me a question, visit my site! The link to the main site is on my profile. You can get to my forum by the tab at the top of the page. Then just click on Eclipse and the thread will be there. Just to let you know I will not be answering questions about the movie or Oprah taping anywhere BUT the thread I have made on the forum.
Thanks for all of your patience, and here's the next chapter!!
"Jacob," I whispered, trailing my fingertips across his stomach. His arms tightened around me and I felt his lips against the top of my head.
"Hmm…" He moaned into my hair.
"Take me riding," I said softly. "I don't even have to ride my mom's bike. I can ride on the back of yours." I waited for him to answer. When he didn't I lifted my head to look at his face. He was starring down at me, so I moved up his body and pressed my lips to his. "Please?" I begged.
"Oh," Jacob groaned, squeezing his eyes shut. "Please don't beg me like that."
"Jake, Jakey, please?" I smiled when his eyes popped open.
"You haven't called me that in years."
"Take me riding."
"No."
I narrowed my eyes and pouted. "Take me riding."
"You're father would have my head."
"He's not here."
"He'll know."
"Since when do you care what my father thinks?"
Jacob was silent for a minute as he thought about it. He had nothing.
"See," I smirked, sitting up and searching for my shirt. "You have no reason to tell me no."
"Fine," Jacob sighed, reaching behind his head and retrieved my t-shirt. "I'll take you, but you're wearing the gear Edward got for Bella."
"The helmet, too?"
"Yes."
"Fine," I sighed and we finished getting dressed.
I couldn't wait for Jacob to check the bike to make sure nothing was broken. I sat on it impatiently. The jacket fit me perfectly. It made me feel like some biker chick who's boyfriend belongs to some bike gang. The helmet was bulky, and I didn't want to wear it.
"She looks good." Jacob said, patting the tire of the bike. "Ready?" He asked me.
I nodded, the helmet making me look like a bobble head. I leaned back so Jacob could get on in front of me. I slowly and quietly pulled off the helmet and placed it on the seat of my mom's bike. I made no sound so I wouldn't alert Jacob. I felt better with the helmet off.
Jacob kicked the bike and it roared to like. It vibrated under us.
"You ready?" Jacob asked, not looking behind him.
"Yes," I said quietly. I didn't want him to hear that my voice wasn't muffled from the helmet.
He reached behind him and took my hands in his. He pulled them around his waist, "Hold on, and please don't let go." He patted my hands before reaching for the handlebars.
The bike jerked forward and the wheels squealed as Jacob peeled out of the garage. We raced down the road and I slid closer to Jacob. I closed my eyes, feeling the wind in my face. It reminded me of running. I could understand why my mom enjoyed this while she was human. It must have reminded her how it was like to run with my dad. Why she rode with Jacob was something I was sure I didn't want to know. But I was the one riding with him now.
He popped a wheelie and I screamed with delight.
"HA!" He yelled without turning around. "I thought I heard you take that helmet off."
"I wanted to feel the wind, plus you're driving, I don't think you're going to let me get hurt."
"You have a point." He shrugged.
I was glad he let it go easily. I pressed my lips to his bare back and felt him shiver. "Let me drive." I mumbled against his back. Unlike before I didn't have to beg him. He pulled onto a dirt road and stopped the bike. I watched him with wide eyes as he got off and motioned for me to slide forward.
"Do exactly as I say." He demanded.
I nodded as he got on the bike behind me. His hands gripped my upper arms and slid down until his fingers reached mine on the handlebars.
"You have to kick start it." Jacob pointed to a little lever near my foot.
"I cant." I shook my head.
Jacob sighed and stood up behind me. He jolted the bike and once again it roared to life.
I followed the movements of his hands over mine and smiled widely when I realized we were moving.
Jacob's hands moved to my hips and his thumbs dipped under my shirt and he rubbed my skin. With his hands on me it was hard for me to remember why I thought he didn't want
me anymore. This morning was an overreaction that I would never put myself through again. Jacob proved he was mine in the garage, and with his hands on my hips and his chest pressed against my back was a reminder of that. I relaxed my body and promised myself never to doubt Jacob's love for me ever again.
We stopped when we reached the end of the road and I turned the bike off. Jacob stayed behind me and I stood up, turning to face him. I sat back down with my legs bent over his.
"I love you, Jacob." I smiled, running my fingers down his chest.
"I love you, too, Ness." His hands laid gently on my cheeks. "Can you be honest with me?" His dark eyes looked deeply into mine.
"Of course." I whispered, lost somewhere in his eyes.
"Why did you think I didn't want you anymore?"
"You are never around me. When you asked me to come with you back home, I didn't think that meant you were going to get me here and leave."
"I didn't think I would be… gone this much. Trust me I don't like it just as much as you."
I looked at him confusingly. "So stop going wherever you have to go."
"I have to."
"You don't have t do anything, Jake."
"For now I do."
I shook my head. Annoyed. I knew I wasn't getting anywhere with him. He wasn't going to tell me anything.
"How much longer are you going to be busy?" I asked him.
"Not too much longer. I hope."
I nodded and leaned into him.
"Come on, lets ride down to the beach." He kissed me and helped me turn back around on the bike. We rode to the beach and Jacob got off the bike, then reached for my hand to help me.
"Renesmee!" Claire and Alyssa waved from their towels. It wasn't a warm day, but they lounged in shorts and sweatshirts.
I waved back noticing Quil and Seth walking towards them with drinks in their hands. I was suddenly jealous at the fact that this is how they have been spending their vacation. Jacob seemed to notice the disappointment on my face and he pulled me into his arms.
"I love you." He whispered into my ear and I smiled, relaxing.
"Hey, Nessie." Seth hugged me and Quil touched my cheek.
"Hi," I smiled to both of them, but threw my arms around Jacob's waist. As much as I wanted to sit down next to Alyssa and Claire, I wanted Jacob more.
"C'mon, Bro! We're going to play football." Paul said, running towards us. "Oh, hey, Ness. Good to finally see you out here." Paul glared at Jacob. I felt relieved. Paul knew what Jacob was doing and he was on my side. He didn't like it either.
"Ok, I get it, I know." Jacob held me tighter and I couldn't have been happier.
"Go ahead. Go play." I kissed his chest and looked up at him.
"Are you sure? I can sit here with you--I would much rather sit here with you."
"I know, and that makes it all better." I smiled and pushed him away from me. "Have fun." He stared at my face, looking for a slight hint that I was lying. When he found nothing he kissed me and hurried over to play with the others.
I sat down between Alyssa and Claire. They continued their conversation they were having before.
"So, Seth agrees with me. I just have to talk to my parents now. That's as dangerous as running down the middle of the interstate." Alyssa sighed.
"What are you telling them?" I asked.
"Well, Seth and I are going to get married when I'm eighteen. We agreed on having one baby. Then because I will be eighteen and legally able to make my own decisions, I am going to demand to be changed."
My mouth fell open with a pop and I stared at her. "That's only a year away."
"Yes, but it's what I want."
"Alyssa, you know you will not be able to be around your husband and child for a long time?" I asked, my voice raising with fear. Derek's wild red eyes flared through my mind.
"I will be fine. I know what I'm getting myself into. I talked to your mom about it. She said it helped her knowing exactly who she would become when she was a vampire. I think if I concentrate on that enough I could hold my baby as fast as she was able to hold you."
"Well, good luck with that." Claire said, watching Quil jog towards his spot to start the game. "Quil and I plan on growing old together. There is nothing he wants more than to have us surrounded by grandkids." I watched the sparkle in Claire's eyes. She was content on being human. I liked that about her. With all the odd creatures around her, she was happy to be who she is. At the same time I couldn't blame Alyssa for wanted to be a vampire. She was raised by them and knows her parents could one day look like her kids. I don't know if I would be able to handle that. I was glad to stop growing soon. But that brought me to think of whether or not I would be able to have kids. I know how Jacob was with me when I was little. He would make a great father, but could I give him that? Part of me wished we were married now so we could try. I did have a normal menstrual cycle, but what happens when I stop growing? Will I be like my mom, Aunts, and Grandmother? Will I be frozen in time?
I looked down at my hands trying to figure out how much longer I had until I stopped growing forever. I figured I had at least another year. I was only my dad's age, and since I was still growing I figured I would stop at my mom's age. She was a year--almost two years--older than my dad. We still had time.
