Falling in Love Ch 4
I don't own Twilight.
Renesmee POV
On Monday I arrived at school and found a few girls with whom I usually ate lunch approach me.
"Hey Ren!" Brittany said.
"Hey guys," I said.
"Sooo, how was your date with Brad?"
"It was great, we just went to the movies but it was still good."
"Speaking of which, here he comes," another girl, Beth, said.
"Hey Ren, ladies," he greeted.
"Hey," I replied.
"We'll see you guys at lunch," Brittany said and the girls left us.
"So how was the rest of your weekend?" He asked.
"It was good... So I was wondering if you want to come over to my house today?" He was silent for a second. "And don't worry, my older siblings all went on a trip yesterday so it will just be my parents," I quickly added.
"Sure," he replied looking a little relieved.
"Great, after school we can meet up and you can just follow me in your car."
"Sounds like a plan." We heard the bell ring and went to class together hand in hand. My morning classes went by slowly, as did lunch. We sat with our usual group at lunch and I saw Holly glancing my way occasionally; I should sit with her one of these days. After lunch I went to my next class which was surprisingly fun as we did a debate. Living with a household of vampires, I've learned how to make a point. After class I went to English and saw Holly eagerly waiting for me.
"So how was your Friday night?" Holly asked as I sat next to her. I sighed.
"It was good, we just went to the movies, talked, and he dropped me off at my house."
"Did you guys kiss?"
"No... He was probably too scared... My family made quite the impression on him... We just held hands nothing special."
"Oh well it seemed like a good first date. When are you two going out again?"
"He's coming over to my house today."
"Ooooh."
"Nothing is going to happen. We're just going to hang out, and my mom and best friend will be there." Holly gasped and looked fake hurt.
"You have a best friend?" I laughed.
"Um, yeah, I've known him since I was born."
"Him?"
"Yes..."
"Interesting."
"What?"
"Do you like him?"
"As a friend... I'm dating Brad anyway."
"Is he hot?"
"Holly," I groaned not wanting to talk about Jake. She raised her eyebrow at me. "Maybe," I mumbled.
"Okay, last question how old is he?"
"Our age."
"Okay class," our teacher said, silencing Holly. "Today we are going to start with some poetry." Most of the class groaned, but my head perked up; I loved poetry. Holly didn't seem to like poetry either but she was a good partner to work with. After class we said our goodbyes and I went off in search for Brad. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes. I recognized the scent instantly as Brad.
"Guess who," he said in a deep voice. I laughed.
"Nice try Brad," I said turning to him.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yup, I'll just get in my car and you can follow me." We parted ways and we got into our vehicles. I drove on the highway and checked my mirror making sure Brad was still behind me; he was. Through the drive I made sure I kept to the speed limit, not wanting to lose Brad; but then again he already knows where I live. My parents hate it when I speed but I can't help it; I hate driving slow. We finally made it to my place after what seemed an eternity of slow driving. I parked my car and we went inside. I saw Jacob at the dining room table packing up some work and went over to greet him.
"Hey Nessie!" He said grinning.
"Jake!" I said and went over and hugged him. "I thought you were with the others."
"I know, but I decided to cut the trip short and spend some time with you... And I see you've brought your boyfriend."
"Well I didn't know you'd be here, silly. Maybe we could all hang out," I suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Jake said. I looked over at Brad, he seemed a bit off. I'd have to ask him about it later. I grabbed his hand and we went to the living room and played a board game. During the game I noticed some tension coming from Brad towards Jacob, but other than that we all seemed to get along well and had fun. After the game we decided to watch a movie. Brad grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him after putting the movie in. It felt nice to be with Brad, but deep down I couldn't shake the feeling that it felt weird. Usually, when Jake and I watched movies, we would sit together and make fun of horror movies. Jacob is always so warm where Brad is just normal. Just as the credits started to role, I smelled grandma cooking a meal in the kitchen and walked over to us.
"Would you like to stay for dinner Brad?" grandma asked.
"Sure, my parents aren't in anyway," he replied.
"Great, it should be ready in half an hour," she said and then left us. We were silent for a moment before I decided we should do something else.
"Do you want a tour of the house?" I asked Brad.
"Sure," I grabbed his hand and led him around the house. I showed him each of the rooms and then finally we got upstairs.
"There's the bathroom, Jake's room, and right beside his is my room," I said. Brad looked between our rooms and frowned, but switched his attention to my room and looked around.
"Not really what I was expecting..." He said, looking around.
"What were you expecting? Clothes, make-up, and boy band posters everywhere?"
"Kind of..." He said looking a bit embarrassed. I laughed.
"That would be Jacob's room, minus the make-up and posters," I said. "I don't know how he can keep it that way, Alice is a neat freak so our household as you've seen is kept very tidy." I looked up at Brad and saw him frowning again.
"Why does Jacob live with you?"
"Well he didn't always live with us but it felt like he did. We move around a lot and he visits a lot for long periods of time and we always have guest bedrooms so he just stays there. But this time he decided to move here with us and go to school here. Our parents are really close so his dad doesn't mind."
"Oh..." We were silent for a few moments when I heard grandma calling us for dinner. I grabbed his hand and we went downstairs and saw our food waiting for us. We sat down and seconds later, Jake came in.
"Looks good Esme," Jacob said as he hungrily dung in. "Tastes good too," he said with his mouth full. Grandma walked over and playfully smacked him with her towel.
"Mind your manners." I laughed.
"You had that one coming." Jake smiled at me and then shrugged. We ate in silence and then thanked grandma for the meal and helped her clean up. Just as we finished I heard a vehicle pull up. I smiled and went out to greet my family: they all went out on a hunting trip on Saturday morning. I walked to my parents and gave them a hug.
"Hey Renesmee," Uncle Emmett said, rubbing my head. I glared at him as mom shooed him away, and we all walked to the house and sat in the living room.
"It's good to see you Brad," my father commented as I sat next to Brad.
"Uh yeah, Ren invited me over today..." Brad replied.
"How lovely," dad said, and mom elbowed him.
"So Brad, tell us about yourself," grandpa said.
We all talked for a while, my family interrogating him and after that, we talked about other things. I felt Brad relax next to me; I wonder if this is how mom felt when she first came over to dad's house. After a while it started to get late so Brad decided he should head home. He said his goodbyes and I walked him to his car.
"I had a good time hanging with you and your family."
"Yeah?"
"Despite their scariness, they're all pretty cool. I'll see you tomorrow." We stared at each other for a few seconds. He seemed to be debating something, and then he quickly leaned down and kissed my cheek. We smiled at each other and he got into his car and drove off. I walked back to the house and saw my parents kissing. Even though they're my parents and I love them dearly, I always feel weird seeing them making out, so I head up to my room. My parents don't look like teenagers when I look up to them; but deep down they're still a couple of teenagers. Sometimes they're all serious and protective like any other parent, and other times they're pretty cool. My parents love each other so much, and I could see it every day. I wish I could have a relationship like that. Was Brad the one for me? I heard a knock on the door and looked up to see dad.
"Can I come in?" He asked.
"Yeah," I replied.
"...Renesmee... You're young, you don't have to worry about finding your soul mate, you have your whole life ahead of you. I don't know if you can find a mate like the rest of us can, but I know there is someone out there who loves you very much. Now you seeing Brad makes me a little nervous, but I trust you and I know where he lives."
"Dad," I groaned.
"Okay that's not the point, but if things work out with Brad, great. If they don't, you have a family who loves you very much." I nodded, processing his words for a moment.
"Okay," I leaned over and hugged him. "Thanks dad."
"Anytime." I yawned.
"I think I'm going to go to bed."
"Okay, well goodnight." He leaned down and kissed my head. "I love you."
"I love you too."
He walked out, but I could hear him mumble: "I guess this is how Charlie felt when I was dating Bella." I laughed.
I hope you liked it, leave a review! I'll post again on Sunday :)
