A/N: There will be no rhyme or reason to the sudden spurts of chapter uploads here for the next month or so. I'm a teacher on summer break taking advantage of her extra time! Thanks for reading :)

Renesmee's POV

I walked into the house in a daze, fairly sure a massive cheesy smile was on my face. I could not believe my luck with how the night had ended; did it really happen? Did I really have a rom-com level meet cute with a handsome dark-haired stranger? Wow, I had only been here in Forks for two days and it already felt as though big things were happening to me. Could Jacob want to see me again? How much of this summer could I spend getting to know him?

My mind raced with imagined scenarios of us together, exploring Forks, his hand wrapped around mine just like it was tonight. I stood just inside the front door, savoring the possibilities. Suddenly, I was pulled out of my fantasies with a disappointing realization. He never asked for my number. I never asked for his. My imagined summer of romance couldn't happen without a way for him to ask me on a date. Which he obviously didn't want to do, since he didn't ask for my number. I slumped against the door, pouting.

"Renesmee? Is that you?" Charlie's voice broke through to me from the other room. I shook off the tidal wave of emotions, wanting to stay in the present and spend time with my grandpa.

"Yeah, it's me! Have you eaten yet? I brought food back from the diner." I brought the food in to meet him at the kitchen table, happy to not see any other food in front of him yet.

"Oh sweetheart, you are the best! I hadn't worked up the energy to get anything started yet." I smiled, happy to help. I sat with him as he ate, both of us talking about our day. Not long after, my phone rang. I knew without checking that it was mom and dad's nightly call.

"I'm going to take this in my room and get ready for bed. Love you Grandpa!" I kissed him on the head as I passed by, hurrying up the stairs as I answered the phone.

"Hi mom, hi dad!" I settled onto my bed to recap my day for them. They were not at all surprised to hear that I had already been to the house by the river and spent time in the meadow. I assured them that I had already hunted today and had no issues being amongst humans in the diner. I blushed as they expressed how proud they were to hear I was out and about in town, handling my thirst so well. I told them all about Ben and Angela, their voices high with excitement over that. I relayed every detail, much to their delight.

But, I couldn't bring myself to tell them about meeting Jacob. I felt like that was normal for most daughters to be hesitant to share with her parents about a new crush. Better to keep this one to myself, until I see if anything comes of it. My father was overprotective enough on a normal day. Thinking back over the night, I realized he would not take too kindly to know I had spent the evening with three young men I had never met before and allowed one to follow me home. In my defense, I am a half vampire. If any human man tried something untoward, I could set them straight in a heartbeat. I was also going home to a police chief, the cruiser in the driveway surely acting as its own deterrent.

By the time I was laying in bed that night, I just wanted to replay every single second of this evening. I spent time thinking over my first thoughts on seeing Jacob. Before I even saw his face, I noticed how solid and warm his chest was. Growing up in a house of vampires, a strong chest wasn't new to me. Now the warmth, that was new; I haven't spent much time touching many other non-vampires besides Charlie, so I wasn't sure how normal that feeling was. But wow, I just wanted to cuddle up right there and snuggle until I fell asleep. It was so dreamy.

Once I did look at his face, I immediately thought he was the most attractive guy I had ever seen. His dark eyes were hypnotic, pulling me in from that first moment. He was so tall, I had to crane my neck all the way back to see him clearly. His smile was so bright and perfect, making me immediately happier just for seeing it. If I could've had cartoon heart eyes popping out of my head, I would've. And he was so kind! Making sure I was okay when I was clearly the one not looking where I walked. Safe to say, I was already swooning before he had barely spoken.

I was shocked when he asked me to stay and spend time with him, when he had clearly come to meet his friends. Friends who were equally as large and strong as he seemed to be, and almost as cute. Thinking of his friends reminded me that he was from La Push and shared some traits with another La Push native I knew, Seth. Could Jacob be a part of the pack too? I didn't want to assume anything. My knowledge about the pack was minimal. I knew Seth and Leah, obviously, and had met Sam, their pack leader, a couple times in my life. But, I had never met any other members. I didn't even know for sure how many total people were in the pack at this point.

From what I had been told through Seth, it was very much possible that Jacob was a werewolf. If he was, I would be a little surprised that he didn't recognize me or question who I was. But, similarly to me not meeting them, many of the pack members have most likely not seen me in person either. I thought about what it would mean if this was true. I didn't see it changing my opinion on Jacob at all; Seth was a great guy, so why couldn't Jacob be too? I couldn't help but wonder if finding out my true identity would affect how Jacob saw me. I mean, not meeting any other pack members in my life was not because of any explicit rule, but more so due to their overall distrust of vampires. A panic was starting to rise in my chest thinking of that possibility, so I decided to put the thought aside for the night. Soon, I drifted off, dreaming of a summer spent with a warm, strong hand holding mine.
