Moonlight Veil

Moonlight Veil chapter 8

Chapter 8

It had been 1 week since that night with Jacob, and it was my birthday. I took a long shower and curled my copper curls. I put on beautiful apricot eyeshadow and sugar peach lip gloss. Finally, I slipped on a royal blue strapless dress with a black sash around the waist. Taking a deep breath, I headed downstairs. Emmett was the first to see me. He whistled, winking. I blushed and laughed. My parents turned around and gasped. My mother ran over and tried to hug me. Alice got to me first and protected her from me.

"Uh-uh. No amusing anything that I taught her, Bella," Alice warned with a grin. Mom smirked and tilted her head at me.

"Alright, but you really do look beautiful Renesmee."

"Thanks, Mom. You too." And she did. Mom wore a gorgeous red keyhole dress. Her ears sparkled with ruby studs, and there was a coat of rose red lipstick disguising her lips. Mom's dark hair was pulled back in a beautiful bun. Tonight she looked like a freaking model! Dad didn't look so shabby himself. He had on a tuxedo and his bronze hair was brushed back. Everything looked so elegant. The table was covered in a spotless white sheet that had plates and glasses covering it. A large sign hung over that, wishing me happy birthday. The house was really cleaned up.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" I squealed, hugging each vampire. I stopped before Emmett.

"Just give me five?" He asked. I cracked a grin and slapped him high five. The doorbell rang. I ran to go get it. I opened the door. There stood Jacob and the rest of my friends.

"Jacob! And hey you guys!" I shrieked, hugging them all. We all ran inside and partied. The vampires left the room, granting my wish of partying privacy. Jacob sat down next to me while we watched a film. Grabbing my hand, he gave me a kiss on the cheek. "It's really good to see you again," he whispered. I nodded.

"Likewise, Jake."

We bent out heads together. That's when I really, truly did know. Know that I loved him.
