Chapter 9: Engaged
Jacob
I was virtually aware I have been avoiding the love of my life Renesmee but there was a good reason for it…I love Renesmee with all my heart and I saw why not propose to her on Valentine's day, I mean I know it sounds too cliché and probably predictable but it's the perfect setting. It's the perfect setting but there was one thing getting in the way of my chances…
Today Nessie was at school and I probably think she's really angry because I wasn't there because today was Valentine's Day, anyway, so the one thing that's ruining my chances was her hotheaded father Edward and I knew if I just proposed without his permission than I will never make it to the alter
I phased into my wolf form to talk to my pack before going to the Cullen house. I phased back after the meeting and grabbed the shorts Esme always put out for Seth and I (bless her soul) and trotted my way to their porch, I ran the bell and Blondie opened the door
"I knew I smelled a dog nearby" she muttered with disgust, and I chuckled. She never gets old
"Hey Rosalie have you seen Edward around?" I asked entering the room
"Yeah his with Carlisle, so where's the comeback you mongrel…there's always a comeback" she asked rather disappointed I wasn't joining in her fun
"No comeback today Blondie" I said to her and she just scoffed Edward! I called out in my head hoping he'd read my mind and thankfully he appeared into the room with a he's usual grin
"Hello Jacob, what do you need?" he asked and I sighed
"Edward, may I talk to you for a quick minute" I asked and he nodded. We made our way to his backyard and I did my business…
After his final approval on it with a warning thrown into it, we made our way back into the house. Pixie's voice chimed from the stairs as she skipped down towards us
"So when are you going to do it?" Alice asked me
"Um…today if possible" I said looking at Edward for permission. He sighed and nodded. I knew how hard this was for him, letting his only daughter go and seeing her growing up after seven short years not having the full 18 years of her childhood. I hope I get to spend the entire full years with my child
"Oh great now I can use the roses I picked out" she said and I saw here hold an huge bouquet of roses covered with a yellow band "Here you go, different colors for each…oh forget it I'll set it up for you, oh and I have to pick out something for you to wear and…" she said rushing into it
"Hey Pixie, calm down just for a few seconds, take an unneeded breath" I joked trying to use the breathing exercises card. She just rolled her eyes "Wait how did you know about this?" I asked. Wasn't it hard for her to see the hybrids and werewolves future?
"Well…let's just say I got my sources" she said with a wide smile and looking at Edward who just smiled widely. He probably read her mind "Ok now let's get you ready, school is ending soon" she said pulling me away from the room
Time flew by quite quickly for me. It was 12:55pm and school was ending in approximately five minutes and I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous. This morning Alice planned this whole event with Jason and Laura who would keep Renesmee distracted and stalling before it was time and place all the cards I sent them. I had to tell Jason about my plans for today last week Sunday because I needed someone to confide in and he was the only person close to a best friend I could get and I needed help on how to propose to her, not that Jason is any much of an expert but he was the kind of friend who would tell me straight up of the possibilities so he was good help…
I had everything ready thanks to Alice who left almost five minutes ago, so I have been standing her for almost ten minutes and I'm sweating like a flood and tapping my feet in nervousness, my heart was picking up a million beats per minute and Nessie hasn't even shown up yet. It's not that I'm insecure of her rejecting my proposal it's a common fact that all men are nervous before the actual time…right?
Well about the ring. At first I thought I'd go to a ring store and rather buy one with my money but Billy insisted on handing down the ring he proposed to with my mom, I tried declining it because it was too special but he assured me Nessie was a special lady who needs a special ring so I gladly accepted it
I was standing on the center of the red carpet waiting patiently for the love of my life to appear. The minute I saw here, it's like I saw the light for the first time. The way she stared at the lanterns and candle lights and the way she read the card in her hands, I took a couple of deep breaths and as she got closer and I knew…this was it
After the long speech I hardly even got the time to rehearse leaving her breathless and shedding silent tears, I got down on one knee and said "Renesmee Carlie Cullen I will promise to love and protect and support you in all eternity," she gasped at the sight of the ring and was left dangling her mouth as tears fell off her pale pink cheek. My breathing started to accelerate again
"So…" I asked my voice breaking a little "You can't leave me hanging forever you know?" I joked and she just gasped trying to speak
"I love you so much Jacob, yes of course I'll marry you" she exclaimed as she cried happily. I exhaled the breath I held in and screamed happily and pulled her into a hug and spun her around
"You don't know how happy I am to hear those words" I said kissing her fiercely as we shared our tears of joyfulness "I love you so much Renesmee Cullen" I said my voice completely broken. She sobbed more
"As I love you Jacob, forever and always" she said as I sat her back down onto the ground. I pulled her left hand and inserted the ring in her finger which I was for sure fitted perfectly and she let out a gasp "It's beautiful Jacob" she said with her lighting smile
"Yes it is and a beautiful ring like this deserves to be on a beautiful hand" I said planting a kiss on the back of her hand "It was my mother's from before she died, my father saved up lots of money for it" I said "and he thought if you'd wear it and keep as your own it'll live a legacy" I said
"Well I'll be honored to" she said as she stared at it like it was a golden prize "Did you set all this up" she asked staring at the scenery
"Well yeah but Alice helped me set it up and your brother and Laura helped out as well" I said to her as we walked down the beach hand in hand
"So they knew about this? Should've known" she said
"Yeah well I told Jason about it I'm thinking he also told Laura, I wanted to keep it secret" I admitted
"Well great job because I wouldn't have thought of all this" she told me
"My absence didn't put negative thoughts into your head right, because I-" I said but she cut me off
"Hey, let's not talk about that right now okay, let's enjoy this moment together" she sighed "Just like old times" she said
"Except we're an engaged couple" I joked with a snigger
"Highlight of my day" she said kissing my shoulder and laying her head on it "I've always dreamt of this day, the day I'll get proposed to by the one I love but it's nothing compared to this" she said
"It's a good thing right?" I asked
"The best" she said lowly with a light chuckle. She was right, this was the best day of our lives and I couldn't be much happier that this is where we've come to "My dad" she gasped in fear as her breathing accelerated. I laughed
"Don't worry about that old man, I already asked for permission, however you should be aware of the rah of Alice Cullen and her wedding magazines" I joked and she rolled her eyes
"Don't remind me" she muttered lowly and I guffawed in laughter "God I love this ring" she said staring at the glory of the ring "You're mother was very lucky" she mumbled
"And looks whose the lucky one now" I said and she just blushed
"Well I guess I am lucky, I'm lucky to have you, I'm lucky that I have you in my life and there's nothing in this world that'll ever break this apart. I love you Jacob Black more than my own life" she said with such emotion it just made me smile
"Well you're wrong about that" I said to her. She rolled her eyes and I chuckled as I cupped her face with one hand and leaned down to mark my lips on hers in a passionate, sweet kiss with such longing instead of lust…she smirked slightly in the kiss
"Best kiss ever" she whispered against my lips. I smiled and kissed her again this time it was just a peck but it meant so much more to me
"Come on let's go" I said and we made our way back to the Cullen house as the sun began to set
The moment we entered the house all eyes were fixed on Nessie then they scanned left her hand before they all exclaimed in happiness and pulled me and Nessie into a series me of hugs
"Congratulations guys" Jasper said pulling Nessie into a hug and patting my shoulder
"Thanks Jazz" I mumbled with a smile
"Ugh my little niece is growing up so fast" Emmett exclaimed and pulled Nessie in a big bear hug. She chuckled
"Careful there, you're squeezing my niece to death" Rosalie said from behind and pulled Nessie into a less tight hug "Congrats but Nessie, really a dog" she joked and smirked up at me. I rolled my eyes "But I'm happy for you both"
"Yeah this is a warning to you two young ladies, no dating until you're technically 18 understand me?" Emmett said eying both Cathy and Carmen who shied away from his gaze. Emmett sounded serious even if it sounded in a joking way, Rosalie rolled her eyes
"Hey I'm just going to my dad quickly" Renesmee assured me and made her way to a very happily with a hint of sadness in his face Edward…
Renesmee
After the large amount of hugs from the family I decided I'd go sit with my dad for a while. I knew how hard this was for him and I wanted to reassure him I was still his little girl. He opened his rock solid arms in invitation whilst I curled onto his lap where I probably didn't fit but due to my small frame (thanks mom) it wasn't uncomfortable.
"Hey daddy" I said trying my best young toddler voice I could muster. He chuckled
"Hello my little Angel" he said and sighed "But I guess you're not little anymore" he muttered sadly
"Dad, I'll always be your little angel, I know you hadn't lived the 18 years you've always wanted for me to grow up, but guess what I'm immortal and stuck at 18 forever so you're stuck with me for all eternity" I joked and we both chuckled "but seriously dad, there's nothing in this world that'll make me not be your little girl, yeah sure I'm going to be married now and I have to be independent but I'd never neglect my father…you're the number one greatest man in my life and I wouldn't change it any better and if you want more angels then go for it nothings stopping you" I joked encouragingly. He just smiled back
"I'm so proud of you that it makes me proud of me. I hope you know that. My mind tells me to pick up that baby of mine and hold her tight, to set the moon on the edge of her crib and to hang her name up in the stars…but my heart tells me to venture in her growing because you only have one chance to watch your children grow" he said with a light scoff "Growing up is the essence of life. Watching you run around the house I was there, riding your bike for the first time I was there, telling your first white lie I was there" he said and we both sniggered "then onto teenage hood, your first broken heart I was there, your first period I was there and the rest to come. Nessie I've already fulfilled my duty as a father, my 18 years are over but I didn't realize it would end so soon, but let me tell you what…it was all worth it" he said with such emotion it made me bawl in tears I love you daddy, forever I projected and hugged him tightly as I let my tears stain his shirt but I'm sure he didn't care at this moment
"I love you too race car Ren" he said using his favorite line when I was a child. I guffawed lowly through the tears "So much…" he added and then we heard a snap of a flash and I spun around to see my mother and Esme taking picture's with their camera's looking all emotional
"We're sorry but that was too perfect to miss" my stunning mother said and I just smiled
"It is okay mommy" I assured her
"Haven't heard that in a long time" she chuckled "Congratulations baby…" she said holding my hand tightly Thank you guys, for giving Jacob permission I'll forever be grateful I said and they just nodded. We sat together as a family in the couch blissfully until I scanned the room in search for the one I love
"Backyard" Edward said with his crooked smile. I smiled and kissed his cheek before making my way to the backyard. I spotted Jacob standing with his hands in his pocket by the back porch staring at the forest trees as the sun began to finish setting
"Hey you" I said wrapping my arms around his back and kissing his shoulder. He smiled slightly "Are you okay?" I asked him
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be" he muttered turning around to face me "I'm more than okay" I just smiled
"You're the best fiancé ever" I said mouthing the new word. It was a lot different than referring to him as my boyfriend but it had a nice ring to it
"Right back at you" he said pecking my lips "Come on it's getting chilly out here" he said and it was, I could literally feel the coldness of tonight on my skin. I nodded and we made our way back into the house…
"Nessie…" Laura exclaimed as she saw me and Jacob walking up to them "So you're finally engaged huh" she said nudging my arm. Jacob made his departure to Jason
"Yeah I know, it's so surreal to me" I said still trying to processes everything
"Well believe it, so how did you like my acting?" she asked
"Bravo well done, you had me fooled I'll give you that" I said applauding her. She giggled
"So when is the wedding?" she asked in anticipation. I knew Laura had a passion for wedding planning, it's not her dream but she enjoys it. I shrugged
"I got engaged like an hours ago, I haven't even thought about anything yet" I said and at that minute I heard the chiming voice of my Aunt Alice appearing into the room. I groaned slightly, here we go…
"Finally I can put my expertise to work," Alice squealed "ok first order of business when would you like the wedding to be? I was thinking of more of a Spring wedding which will be held on 13th March or April which will leave me two months, I've already got your measurements from this morning but I'll also need the maid of honor and bridesmaids which will be…oh I'll give you time for that, and how would you like the theme? I was thinking for it to be a fairytale themed but having a little Quileute in it which I'll need information from Jacob or Billy ooh and…" she began ranting on her plans and both Jacob and Jason burst into laughter
"Um Alice, I just got engaged a few seconds ago, can I at least let it sink in first?" I asked whilst Jake and Jay continued with their laughter galore. Alice sighed
"Fine, but tomorrow six o'clock sharp, we'll be discussing it, agreed?" she warned and I just smiled at my feisty Aunt and nodded "Okay, congratulations again guys" she said leaving the room with a sketch book
"Well today was eventful" Laura sighed and I returned it back. We walked up to our boyfriends or should I say, Jason and my fiancé. I'm tired I projected and he nodded
"Okay guys we're going to bed" Jacob declared and picked me up bridal style as we approached the stairs
"Don't you mean make out" My annoying brother teased. I glared at him whilst Jake and Laura sniggered. We got to my room and I collapsed on it, I felt Jakes weight fall onto the bed
"Today was eventful" I sighed repeating Laura's words
"But it turned out perfect didn't it" Jacob said smiling widely at me which was completely contagious
"Better than perfect" I said leaning my head down against his chest, burrowing against his 108 degree warmth. I than chuckled "Alice is going to be the death of me" I muttered lowly but enough for Jake to hear
"Let her do her job, I mean she is Pixie after all, she always gets what she wants" he said kissing my head. I sighed
"Yeah you're probably right" I sniffled as I saw the sight of my engagement ring "This ring is diverting to a level, I wonder how your father bought it" I gushed
"Well Billy was very persistent when it came to woman and the day he met my mom, he knew she was the one and so he opened a savings account and took over from there" he told me. I let out a small smile
"That is so romantic Jacob" I mumbled "Just like you"
"It's a Black thing" he said proudly to himself holding his chin up. I smiled
"It's a Jacob thing" I said "I've never loved anyone as much as I love you Jacob, I'll love you forever and always" I looked into his eyes
"Well you're wrong about that" he muttered lowly yet seductively. I smiled as he leaned in and planted his hot lips on mine. As we pulled away I gasped "What?"
"We need to tell the others" I said frantically referring to everyone other than a Cullen. The wolves and everyone we knew on the Res and of course my grandparents Charlie and Sue. Sue wasn't particularly my grandparent but since I never met Renee, Sue was there to cover the want to meet my biological grandmother. Jake chuckled
"Already got that figured out…They'll be a bonfire tomorrow so we'll announce it there," he confirmed and I let out a sigh of relief
"At least I won't go through a series of 'I'm engaged'" I joked and he just laughed. For a split second our eyes locked and we stared at each other with such love and intensity it was almost unbreakable. I gripped his hair with my hands and threaded my fingers "I love you Jakey" I whispered
"I love you Nessie" he whispered back and crushed his warm lips back to mine in a strong yet sweet kiss with so much passion that lit up my insides. Kissing my fiancé was a lot different than kissing my boyfriend and I could honestly say that it feels amazing. This kiss soon became urgent and our bodies overtook us. I moaned softly when I felt his tongue lick the back of my neck. He let out a slight chuckle
"Let's go to sleep babe" he said as he pulled reluctantly from the kiss and I frowned slightly
"Fine" I pouted like a five year old and he just laughed "I'm glad you find all of this amusing, I feel rejected" I said revealing my bottom lip. He placed a peck on it and bit it gently
"Soon…" was all he said before getting off the bed and grabbing his leather jacket off my desk. I frowned up at him "I have to go Nessie, and I'm sure big ole Eddie wouldn't appreciate it much if I overstayed my visit" he mumbled raising his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes
"Jacob…we're engaged he can't do anything about it now…please" I pleaded batting my eyes like I use to when I was younger which always gets him going. He sighed and began to strip down from his clothes and just stayed in his boxers. He crawled into the bed and I snuggled up to his side and adjusted the bracelet Jacob gave me almost eight years ago on Christmas day
"You still wear that?" Jake asked me nonchalantly
"Are you insane, of course I do, I'd never disown such a special gift like this" I said in awe of it. He smiled
"I'm glad you still like it" He smiled in adoration. I smiled back and lay my head on his chest "Go to sleep my Nessie" he whispered
"Night Jakey" I whispered back until I solemnly decided to drift in my own unconscious state…
I awoken by the sound of a toaster and the sun shining bright through my rear window I stretched my arms wide and breathed in the scent of Roseberry and vanilla with the distinct musky woodsy scent of my snoring dog besides me…
"Morning" I said kissing his cheek. He pretended he was still sleeping but managed to let out a small smile "I know you're awake" I said rolling my eyes. He just carried on 'snoring' "It's so hot, I guess I have to take my camisole off" I teased and he's eyes shot wide open. I chuckled and scanned his body "When did you take your shirt off?" I asked
"Compare our body heat in this room" he laughed
"Renesmee, Jacob breakfast is ready downstairs!" I heard my Grandmother Esme call from downstairs "Don't make me come and get you guys again" she warned and Jake and I laughed
"The Queen waits" Jake said before both of us got out of bed and got dressed. We headed downstairs to see most of the Cullen kids pilling into the kitchen
"Morning Renesmee, Jacob" Esme said warmly. I smiled back at her and sat opposite side of Carmen
"Morning sissy" Carmen said nudging me. Carmen and Cathy aren't just considered as my adoptive cousins. They're my sisters even if we aren't blood related but we're from the same breed. I pulled her in a side hug. Carmen has grown a lot for these past four years; she looks physically 13-14 but has the mental capacity of an 18 year old
"Hey Car Cary" I mumbled using my nickname for her. Then Laura appeared from upstairs with a very shirtless Jason. I had to raise my eyebrow at her and she just blushed
"Well hello Laura and brother, I thought you'd be at home, not that I'm not surprised" I said
"Well my parents went out last night and they agreed that I could stay over" she explained. My brother hadn't said a word he just had his hands in his pocket as he stared at us. Did something happen last night? Oh my- did they?
"No no, no we didn't" Jason said quickly with a hint of embarrassment. He must've read my mind "I don't have to read your mind to tell what you're thinking" he said. Fair enough. Laura just looked oblivious until she blushed signaling she caught onto it
"Then what's with the nervous faces?" I asked. Before they even got the chance to answer, my Aunt Alice came skipping happily downstairs looking rather too fantabulous in her outfit and binder in her hand. I already knew what was coming….
"Hello everyone, I've got lots to do at so little time…ugh what to do first…" she exclaimed as she set herself on the island chair "So first order of business, when would you like the wedding" she began with her usual cheerful smile. Jake and Jay erupted into laughter until Alice shot daggers at them which made them shut up. Jacob sat next to me whilst Carmen left the room with Cathy, Esme, Dad and my mother. Jacob rubbed my thighs as he kept kissing my neck which sent electric currents through my blood vessels
"Um…" I stuttered between Jacobs kisses "How a-about a-a…" I choked as Jake roamed his tongue on my bare neck which made me giggle
"Jacob! Stop seducing Renesmee or I'll personally make sure the dog inspectors take you away to Muttville" Alice said sternly which made someone downstairs burst into laughter. Must've been Rosalie…Jacob pulled away from my neck and glared at Alice
"You do know you suck right?"
"Yes Jacob, I've heard that a million times" she said rolling her topaz eyes
"She's a vampire, what do you expect dude" Jason said patting Jakes shoulder
"So what do you think Ness?" Alice asked impatiently
"Um…well Jacob and I have been thinking maybe after graduation" I said. She nodded and began writing down notes on her little 'Alice journal'
"We have?" Jake asked in confusion. I touched his forearm Yeah about that…I really don't want to feel the wrath of Alice for two weeks like my mother, so I settled on after Graduation, is that okay? "Anything for you baby" he answered pecking my lips quickly
"I really wish dad and mom could get you guys a house already" Jason sighed from behind. I rolled my eyes
"So after graduation…" Alice confirmed "okay that won't be bad, how about we make it a summer wedding probably 18th July is alright? On a Friday" she asked us. Jacob and I nodded to her "Okay, anyway I'll be planning the whole thing all I need to know is…Nessie who are your bridesmaids?" she asked
"Um…I already picked Laura as my maid of honor, but I'd like Cathy, Carmen, and Emma" I replied
"Yes! My beauty will finally shine, love you Ness" Carmen's voice chimed from downstairs. We all chuckled. She really was Rosalie Hale's daughter; I guess the past four years she's rubbed off on her
"And you Jacob? Your best man" Alice asked
"Um…uh I haven't thought of it much but I was picturing Jason as my wingman so what the heck" Jacob said using his own way of asking Jason to be his best man
"Man that's an honor, I have to work on new teases for you, thank you" Jason said sincerely and gave Jake a 'Man hug'
"Your job is to make me less nervous not humiliate me" Jake said rolling his eyes.
"Our boys" Laura sighed at their bickering and I chuckled
"Okay now that's settled…Nessie I'm so glad you're not as tough as your mother, she was one hell of a load, you so get me" Alice said getting up and stroking my chin
"Hey I heard that" My mother exclaimed and we all laughed
"…oh the honeymoon" Laura asked as Alice made her way up the stairs
"That'll be revealed after the wedding, that's between Jake and I which reminds me… Jacob I need to talk to you" she said ushering Jake towards her. He sighed
"I'll be back hopefully" he muttered and kissed my cheek before getting up and heading over to Alice. Right after Jake left the room, my Granddad appeared
"Morning Renesmee, I hope you're not busy but I'd like to run something by you, if you'd kindly follow me to my office?" he asked and I nodded
We got to his office where I caught a hospital bed with all the required equipment around it and his desk right across the room with the bookshelf around the room. I virtually remember this room on the day of my birth, seeing my dad cupping me in his arms and my mom looking battered and ill on the hospital bed but the vision became more blurry as I grew. I also saw my dad who sat on the chair besides Carlisle
"Okay Nessie please take a seat please" he said motioning to his desk chair. I sat down "I apologize for wasting your fine morning however this alteration shouldn't be unnoticed." He began sounding all medical "Well the reason I brought you here is the recent studies I found out about your breed, well when you were born I took blood samples from you and later on Nahuel and compared the two…and then I realized your reproductive system might not be a vampires due to how many pairs you have, as you know Humans have 23 whilst Vampires have 25 and as for hybrids I haven't come to that yet. So ever since then I haven't put my full focus on you until you'll get older, that was until our family grew I became vaguely curious…" he trailed off with a sigh "I understand you have a menstrual cycle every month right?" he asked and I nodded. Last time I checked "Well I took other blood samples from the female hybrids in the house with Laura and I have come to a conclusion that Hybrids aren't compatible" he said and I frowned in confusion
"So what are you saying Doc, are you saying I can't reproduce…?" I asked in pure shock. I was never one for maternity but ever since Carmen and Jason were born I always pictured myself with my children one day
"Now now Nessie, I'm not saying that, I'm just estimating the possibilities, I thought your menstrual cycle was all human but I guess I was wrong, producing isn't impossible" Carlisle said
"So I can have kids but it'll be harder than how a normal human can?" I asked them and they nodded slightly "So it's not impossible?"
"They probability is…slight but not impossible" Edward said sympathetically
"Yes, and if you want to try, then you'll have to discuss that with Jacob but if you're not ready…' Carlisle began
"Oh she is sure as hell not ready" my father said sternly but let out a small smile or was it a grimace?
"…Then I have an alternative form of contraception" Carlisle ended by placing a container that wrote 'Birth control'. I took it in my hand and read it.
"Um… Thanks granddad" I said not knowing what to say, this was all too much to take in
"I'm not sure if it'll work on you but the fastest way to test the theory is…well you'll discuss that with Jake when you're ready" he answered with a smile. I knew he meant if Jacob and I ever have sexual intercourse it'll probably work or not. I nodded and thanked him one more time and began heading out the door
"Oh dad…I'm going to the bonfire tonight to announce our engagement if that's okay with you?" I asked
"No problem Rennie, you can go we're actually going hunting in five minutes" he said with his crooked smile mother loves dearly. I smiled back and made my way out of the room to bump into Jacob
"Are you okay?" he asked pained. I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck. He must have heard our conversation
"I think I'll just get ready for tonight" I informed him and pecked his lips quickly before heading up to my room to take a long needed shower. I got in and set the shower at a high temperature heat. My mind went into overdrive, what if Jacob and I can't have kids, will he leave me, or hate me for the rest of his life or better yet, both…I let out a silent tear after thinking those thoughts then I heard someone sigh my name
"Nessie…" I heard Jacobs beautiful husky voice chime across the room. He then took footsteps towards the door of the shower
"Jake please don't" I said sternly wondering what other ways my father would murder Jacob. He went along and opened the sliding door which made me screech
"Hey hey, I'm just here to give your favorite shampoo… strawberry lilies" he said extending his hand through the steamy shower. I smiled slightly as I took it
"Thanks" I mumbled and applied it all over my now straight wet bronze hair. My hair has surprisingly gotten darker these years but still had the bronze edge to it.
After my shower I wrapped myself in a towel and stared in the mirror. I saw my reflection and smiled, I was all wet, my now straight bronze hair dripping in cold droplets and my perfect pale skin glistering through the open window. I headed back into my room to see Jacob lay on my queen bed with his arms around his neck
"Hey beautiful" he muttered with his signature Jacob smile showing his perfect white teeth. I smiled
"You know you're attempting suicide"
"At least I'll die happy" he murmured and I gave him an eye roll before heading to my closet to find some decent clothes to wear "…So I heard you met Tanner four days ago" Jacob blurted out his tone stern
"Where did you hear about that?" I asked him. Embry must've told him
"Wolf telepathy" he said. Of course Jacob heard "Just be careful with him, I don't want you around him" Jacob seethed coldly
"Is this jealously I hear Mr. Black?" I said popping my head through the door and raising my eyebrow. He rolled his eyes
"No Nessie, Tanner is known to being a womanizer, he's his own bachelor and dare my I say, 'strikingly talented'" he said quoting the words. I laughed as his choice of analogy
"He didn't seem so to me, and doesn't he know you're my imprint, I mean he is a shapshifter right?" I asked
"Nessie…the Makah tribe know nothing about Shapeshifter's let alone the magical beam pulling them towards their soul mates" he explained
"Then what was with his tattoo?" I coaxed rather confused.
"I may think it's a tribal thing I don't know" he shrugged
"Then why was he shirtless" I asked with a laugh. Jacob just had a straight face
"He's got an ego I guess" he said and I just laughed. I walked up to him and sat straddled on his lap facing him. He grunted
"There's nothing in this world that'll take my love for you Jakey" I assured him. He huffed
"Of course I won't let that happen" he whispered our foreheads touching each other and in a wistful swift he's lips were on mine in a zestful powerful yet sweet kiss, not so much passion but had that equal love. The kiss soon became urgent when his warm hands grasped my hips and squeezed my backside lightly which caused a low moan from me. I then began to unbutton his scotch shirt and lowered it off his broad shoulders. I roamed my hands on his Pecs an abs that also sent a small groan out of him and his pants made a little jump at my touch "Nessie...Vampires…in the…house" he gasped between kisses
"They all went hunting" I told him as I began unbuttoning my red blouse
"We promised your dad you know?" Jake mumbled
"What's the wait Jacob, we're engaged" I reminded him
"Ness…" he said looking pained as he spoke. I sighed and began buttoning my shirt "Ness, I'd like to wait to" he muttered. I didn't answer him "Ness, look at me" he said "Look at me" he demanded and I turned to face him "I love you, more than anything, and believe me I want to…and we will, soon enough okay?" he said his eyes filled with hurt and apologetic. I couldn't stay angry at him forever could I? Ugh I hate what this imprinting does to me. I nodded towards him "Okay, we should probably get ready for the bonfire" I got off of him whilst her throw his shirt back on
After our preparations we decided to head downstairs as we bumped into Carmen
"Oh hey Cary, aren't you hunting with the others?" I asked
"Well yeah I was supposed to, but no one had the decency to wake me up" she told me and rolled her eyes "So I guess I'll be staying here for a while with Laura, Diego and Jason, that's if you guys aren't going to the bonfire…" she said
"Yeah we're heading over there now" I say to her
"Oh please say hi to Collin for me" she asks and I nodded. Carmen and Collin both had crushes for each other over a year ago. Carmen and Collin have been best friends ever since Cathy and Seth imprinted but then a few months later when Carmen hit preteen years, she started developing a small yet obvious crush on Collin and he started returning it when she looked physically twelve but now I think it died down after they both hit the dating world and just remained close friends
"Yeah I will" I say with a smile and she nods
"Where's Cathy by the way, is she hunting with the others?" I asked
"Well I'm assuming but she went out with Seth earlier" she said convincingly but there was something behind what she said that made me curious
"Oh I thought she'll be out with Eric today" I said
"Yeah…well…Eric's got the stomach flu so he's on bed rest" she mumbled
"Carmen…Is there something you're not telling me?" I asked curiously
"Um no Nessie" she chuckled nervously "Shouldn't you be at a Bonfire?" she asked
"Yeah Ness…I think it's about to start in the next two hours and I have to be there earlier" Jacob said chewing on drumstick
"Okay" was all I said then Jake and I left the house and into his rabbit as we drove to the La Push beach where the bonfire was being held tonight
How'd you like this Chapter? If it was too boring please hit me a review so I can make it more interesting in the future. I promise all this happiness between the Cullen's will be over because I understand most of you like adrenaline and drama…
