A new beginning

The Cullens

Nessie's POV

I only slept five and a half hours, but it was surprisingly good. The bed was comfortable, the sounds coming from outside were the same when I was camping in the forest, and for some reason it felt nice knowing that Jake was only a few steps away in another room. I tried no to think about how safe he made me feel. I can't get attached to him. I will leave in a few days, and I doubt I will see him too much after that.

Jake woke me up around 5:30 in the morning. He was standing in the door, the light from the hallway illuminated his body and he was holding a mug in his hands.

- I made you coffee. I know it's early, so I thought it would be more comfortable to drink it in bed. - he slowly walked in and sat on the side of the bed while he gave me the mug. - I wasn't sure how you like it, but since you drank latte yesterday I put milk and a little sugar in it.

- I like coffee in every form it comes. Thank you. - I took the mug and sighed, smelling the fresh coffee sent. - This is perfect. I still don't get how can you be single.

His chuckle was soft and husky, and it sent shivers down my arms.

- Do you want some breakfast too? I could make some eggs and toast.

- No, thank you. I am too nervous to eat. - I started to slowly sip my coffee.

- It's gonna be okay. They love you so much. - he touched my knee and the warmth of his hand instantly made me calmer.

He was so close again, and I remembered how he held me in his lap last night while I was crying. He was so comforting and sweet, he had that adoring look on his face again. I swear I could get lost in his eyes. I need to get moving before I climb into his lap again.

- Is it okay if I have a quick shower now? I was too tired yesterday.

- Sure, I am gonna wait for you downstairs.

- Okay, I need to get my bag from my car first.

We both went downstairs and after getting my bag from my car I went back to the bathroom. He had a long shower cabin, where two people could comfortably take a shower.

Why did I just think of that? I will obviously shower on my own. Maybe this man-fast is messing with my head, I should start dating again when I am back home.

I took the hottest shower I could, I loved how the hot water burned my skin. For a few moments it felt like my issues were washed away as well. After that I dressed in comfortable black ripped jeans and a white t-shirt, and with a big deep breath I went downstairs.

Jake was already at the door with a big chocolate chip cookie in his hand.

- My sister made it, and I just remembered I still had some hidden away. You should eat something. - I took it with a smile.

- Hidden away?

- The guys like to hang out here. They eat everything, I have to hide the goods.

I laughed at that, because I was way too familiar with the appetites of shapeshifters. I took a bite of the cookie and moaned a little. It was good. Jake smirked at that.

Someone will be really lucky to marry that guy one day.

We went together with his truck. I was comfortable enough to leave mine at his place. The drive only took 15 minutes, and we arrived a few minutes after six. A perfectly polished black Volvo was already parked in front of the house.

I took slow steps towards the front door, still thinking that I should have left yesterday when it swung open before we could knock on it.

Right in front of me was a girl with beautiful chestnut brown hair, porcelain white skin, and golden eyes. She barely looked twenty. The smell of sweetness hit me. Definitely vampires.
