Sorry! I know it's been while! And I know I changed Eli's looks, but I wasn't planning on bringing her in the way I did! Hope you like this!

Love Sofie!

(I really apologize for any grammar mistakes, I am a terrible, well everything. I hope you still enjoy the story.)

Chocolate and Honey
Chapter 5

"My brother is coming home!" Eli had a look of shock and panic on her face.

"That's good, right?" I asked.

"I don't know! Last time I talked to him we started screaming at each other and haven't talked since!"

"El! Breathe! You and you're brother will hug and make up, and if you're worried about space in your house, you can stay with me."

"Ok." She took a deep breath.

We went through the day, Eli switching from freaked to freaking excited.

"Well if you weren't so short!" Embry was teasing us as we left school.

"I am not short! I'm average! You guys are just freaks!" I said.

"You're gonna pay for that." Seth got a mischievous look on his face.

"No!" I squealed as he picked me up and spun me around.

"Ah! Put me down!"I laughed.

"Not till you apologize!"

"I'm sorry!" I squealed.

"I'm not short! I'm fun sized!" Eli said.

"Not a voice I expected to hear." A voice behind us said.

"Jake!" Eli ran and hugged him.

Seth's arm, which was still around me, tightened.

"Jake, this is Sofie, my best friend and little sister." I pushed Seth off me and shook Jacob's hand.

"Nice to meet you. Eli told me all about you." I said.

"Same, I feel like I already know you." He said, looking over at Seth.

"Seth, Em. How've you guys been?"

"Good." Both boys answered.

"Oh! You remember Bella, Charlie's daughter?"

"Not much, I was too young to play with you and the twins. Nice to meet you though." The girl had dark brown hair and the same gold eyes and pale skin as the red head boy.

"This is our daughter, Renesmee."

"Everyone calls her Nessie." The boy said. "I'm Edward, nice to meet you."

"This is my sister, Eli and her friend Sofie. And you know Seth and Em."

"How've you been?" Seth asked.

"Good, you?"

I got down to the young girls eye level.

"Hi, Renesmee. I'm Sofie."

"Hi Sofie. It's nice to meet you. You can call me Nessie."

"You sound very smart, Nessie. How old are you?"

She looked at her parents. "Ten."

"My sister is eleven, you remind me of her. She sounds smart too. And she's very pretty, like you."

"Does she look like you?"

"Well, yes, how'd you know?"

"Because you are very pretty. It was a lucky guess."

"Well Nessie, you are very sweet, and it was wonderful to meet you, I hope we get to spend more time together. "

"Well that sounds fun but we need to be going." Bella said.

"Oh, well it was nice to meet you."

"You too." They got in the shiny sliver Volvo.

"You guys want a ride?" Jacob asked. He got in a sleek black Mercedes truck.

"Yeah." Em and Eli said excitedly.

Seth and I got in the third row, El and Em in the second.

"Welcome home son." Billy shook hands with him.

"Good to be back."

"Hey Billy." I said, smiling.

"Hi Sofie." He smiled warmly.

We went to the back yard. There was a women who was about as tall as me and a girl as tall as the boys.

"Mom, Leah." Seth said.

"Seth, hi! You must be Sofie! And Eli! It's been a while!" She hugged both of us.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Clearwater." I said.

"It's Sue." She said.

"Ok." I smiled.

"Girls, can you go get some drinks?" Billy asked.

"Sure."

"I'll help." Leah said.

"Um, ok."

We went into the house and Leah turned on the water.

"Who do you think you are coming back here?" She growled at Eli.

"I live here. I'm allowed to come home any time I want." Eli growled back. Both girls were shaking.

"Eli?" I asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.

She looked at me. "I-I need to go." She ran off. Jacob and Embry chased after her.

"Eli!" I went to chase after her too. Seth grabbed by and held me back "Eli!" I called after her. I faced Leah. "What did you do?"

"I." She said, before running off.

"What's wrong with Eli?" I demanded turning to Billy.

"She's just getting used to being home." He said.

"Eli doesn't run! What's wrong with her?"

"She'll come back when she's ready." Billy said.

I grabbed my cell phone. "El, it's me, what's going on? Call me back later, love you."

"Are you ok."

"No!" I snapped. When I looked up at Seth's sad eyes, my heart broke. "I'm really worried, are you sure she'll be ok?"

"I'm sure. Do you want me to take you home?"

"Yeah."

"Alright." I said goodbye to the adults.

Seth walked next to me as we walked around to the front of the house.

"I'm sorry to have to leave so early."

"I'm just sad I don't get to spend more time with you."

"You could hang out at my house." I laced my fingers through his. "I'd like to spend more time with."

"How about we spend time together this weekend?"

"That's cool, but we do that every weekend."

"No, just you and me, together. Maybe a movie and dinner."

"Like a date?"

"Whatever you want to call it."

"Seth Clearwater are you asking me on a date." I turned to face him.

"Quite possibly." He said.

"Well, I might, quite possibly say yes."

"I might, quite possibly be very happy about that."

"Well, then eight o'clock on Friday night?"

"Perfect, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye." I said.

"Who was that?" My little sister, Gracie asked. She stood in the doorway with her arms crossed.

"Who are you, my mom?"

"No! God no!"

"I'm your dad, tell me or you're grounded." My dad came up and stood in the same position Gracie had been in a minute ago. My dad was just barely taller than me, with messy black hair and green eyes. He still looked like a teenager most of the time, which was how he acted a lot of the time.

"Daddy, you know you won't ground me." I said kissing his cheek. "That was Seth, my friend. He was walking me home from Eli's. He didn't want me alone in the dark. He's a perfect gentleman."

"I'm sure. I remember being his age. I know how guys get around pretty girls."

"You're point?"

"Sofie, you are a pretty sixteen year old girl, and no guy deserves you."

"And I know the only boy a girl can trust is her Daddy." I smiled. "But Seth is a great guy."

"I thought he was your friend." Grace said.

"For now." I smiled. "Daddy, can I go on a date Friday night?"

"Where?" He asked.

"Dinner, maybe a movie."

"Fine. He comes in and introduces himself, home by eleven."

"Hey! Not fair! You'd never let me go on a date!" Gracie said.

"You're also thirteen." Daddy said.

"Thanks Daddy!" I kissed his cheek and went to pick up my outfit for the date.

The next days went fast. Eli still hadn't come back, and Em and Jake were gone too.

Friday night I got dressed in a black skirt, a purple shirt, a leather jacket and knee high, high heeled boots. I curled my hair and put a touch of make up on. The doorbell rang and I sent Grace to tell them I was going to be a minute. When I was done, I listened to their conversation from the top of the stairs.

"Seth, pleasure to meet you sir."

"Nice to meet you. Have a seat." Daddy said. "Where are you going to go tonight?"

"A restaurant in Port Angeles, and then well head back. It will take too long to get there and back and see a movie." Seth said. "I'll have her back by ten."

"Well, thats very good." He paused. "I hope you know I have nothing against you. I am very protective of my girls. Exspecially Sofie. She hasn't been with us very often, so I haven't gotten the chance to be the dad I wanted to be."

"Sofie is a very special girl."

"I think I trust you to take care if her." He said, as they shook hands. "Don't tell her I said that." Seth laughed.

I ran down the stairs. "Oh no! How long did I leave you alone with him!" I faked embarrassed.

"Not too long." Seth said, smiling.

"So sorry about him. Lets go?"

"Sure." He walked towards the door.

"Love you Daddy." I hugged him.

"Love you, baby." I turned to leave. "Home by ten!" He called.

"Daddy!" I squealed.

We drove to a small town with a ton of stores. We went to a small Italian restaurant.

"Tortallini Penne, please." I said.

"Speggetti Bolognese."

"Are you ok? About Eli, I mean?"

"I think we should focus on now." I said. "Like, how great it is to be on a date with you."

"Well, it can't be as great as it is to be with you." I blushed.

"That's so sweet."

We talked for an hour, then he took the check, before I even saw it.

"Wha-?" I said.

"You think I'd let you pay?"

"Well, no. I guess not."

"You look beautiful tonight, by the way." He said.

"Thank you, you look good, too."

"I had help." He said. "Edward's sister is going to college to be a fashion designer."

"Well, she has great taste. I like that color on you." I said, running my hand down his arm.

He grinned and put his arm around me. We drove back to my house.

"I had a really nice time tonight." I said as we stood in front of my house. "I'd kiss you goodnight, but my sister is watching through that window, my other sisters are watching through that window, my dad is watching through that one, and Shell through that one." I pointed to various windows.

"That's ok." He brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it. "Goodnight." He stroked his fingers across my cheek. "Sweet dreams."

"Goodnight." I said, dreamily.

He walked back to his car. I stepped inside and fell against the door.

"Well, that was a dud." Gracie said.

"No! It was romantic!" Lexi said dancing down the stairs.

"I thought it was cute!" Shell said.

"Very appropriate." Daddy said.

"How was that romantic or cute? He didn't even kiss her!" Gracie said.

"But he kissed her hand! And look at her face, he said something romantic!" They all looked at me.

"He said goodnight and sweet dreams." I said.

"How sweet!" Shell said.

"How romantic!" Lexi said.

"Nice." Daddy said.

"That's all?" Gracie said.

They all said it at once. "You all are impossible."

"It's cause we love you, sweetie." Shell called after me.
