Chapter 10: Date
Nessie's POV
My sister had been a complete basket case ever since she had gotten home and I had no idea why. Only that it was getting on my very last nerves.
She was either easily irritated by something. Usually me. Or she was crying. About what? Only Lord knows what she's crying about.
Buddy looked at me knowingly and grinned in a weird doggy kind of way.
"You know what's going on with her don't you?" I accused.
"Of course I do. I've known for the past three weeks" he said.
"What is it?"
"She's pregnant. My guess is that she just figured it out"
"She's-"
"Shh! Jesus Christ no need to blurt it out to the whole world now. Remember as far as she's concerned only the doctor knows"
"Pregnant?" I sputtered.
"There's a lot about your sister that she keeps to herself Nessie. It's not a good thing but it is the way it is"
"Pregnant" I muttered.
"With a boy. Only she doesn't know that yet"
"Then how do you know?"
"Anyone with a keen enough sense of smell can detect the hormones associated with each gender. I'm sure it's a boy"
This was way too much crazy for me to handle. That's saying a lot for me.
I sighed. As much as I hated to say it her pregnancy was not my problem. It was her problem to deal with. She got herself in this mess and she could get herself out.
The only thing that I had to worry about was my date with Jacob which was tonight. There was no way in hell that boy was going to let me forget that we were going on a date tonight either. I still couldn't fathom how someone like him could be interested in someone like me.
I put on the nicest blue dress I had which was a blue dress. Buddy eyed me carefully. The way that dog acted you'd think he was a second father of mine. Isn't one dad enough?
When I passed my sister in the hallway she glared at me the worst glare she had ever done. I swear if looks could kill I would've died right then and there.
"Nessie don't you think that dress is just a little too revealing?" Dad looked on in disapproval as soon as I came into his view.
"Just a little cleavage dad. That's all. Stop being so overprotective will you?"
Just then the doorbell rang.
"Stop being over protective she says" I heard dad mutter as I went to answer the door. I had to suppress a laugh.
I was shocked to see that Jacob was actually wearing a shirt this time. I was starting to think he didn't even own shirts. He still looked good.
"You look beautiful Nessie"
I blushed a very bright red.
"Thanks Jacob" I choked out. "Ready to go?"
"Yes. I've been looking forward to going on a date with you"
"Okay let's go then before my dad comes out and kills you"
He laughed.
"So where are we going?" I asked him.
"Well what kind of food do you like? Anything in particular?"
"Italian" I said. "I love Italian"
"Okay Italian it is then"
It was really cold and I started to shiver badly even with a sweater on. Jacob put an arm around me and that did the trick. His body warmth did the trick.
I smiled at him and he smiled right back. My heart skipped a few beats.
Just looking at him was enough to make my heart beat erratically. His affect on me did not fade at all by the time we got to the restaurant.
"So Nessie you're adopted?"
"Yes, why?"
"I'm just curious about you that's all. Do you know anything about your birth parents?"
"No and I don't care to know"
"Why not?"
"They abandoned my sister and I. They left us for dead. Why would I want to have anything to do with someone like that?"
"To get the whole story maybe-"
"What good reason could there be for abandoning two babies at night on a street in a city like San Diego? Please explain"
"But Nessie you don't know what happened. What if you were kidnapped and it was the kidnapper that did this?"
"That sounds like something out of a movie. Not reality Jacob"
"I'm just saying-"
"Jacob please drop it. I don't want anything to do with my biological family and that's it. Nothing is ever going to change my mind about them"
He sighed but he respected my wishes and dropped the subject. For that I was extremely happy.
"So you're a real animal lover aren't you?"
"Am I that obvious?"
"You have pictures of animals all over your binders"
I was kind of embarrassed that he noticed that.
"Yes they're from my many trips to SeaWorld and The Safari park. I like taking pictures. Especially pictures of animals"
"What's your favorite animal?"
"I don't really have a favorite. Do you?"
"Definitely wolves"
"Yeah wolves are pretty awesome"
"So what else do you enjoy?" I could tell that he was genuinely curious about me and my life. He wasn't pretending to be at all. Unlike other men I've met in my life.
I liked Jacob. Really I did. He seemed like a nice and genuine guy. He seemed so sweet and very interested in me. Something that I really liked.
As we were leaving the restaurant I saw Bella and Edward nearby. They seemed to notice Jacob and I at the same time.
Suddenly Jacob grabbed me and started kissing me by force. I used every ounce of strength I had to push him away before slapping him across the face.
"Ow!" he shouted then looked at me in shock.
I glared at him angrily before storming off without saying another word to him.
