Chapter Two
The Party
Renesmee P.O.V
Someone was shaking me, but I didn't want to wake up. It's my birthday. I can sleep in if I want! I threw my pillow at the intruder, and groaned. I didn't want to wake up! At least, not until I heard Jake's voice. I spun around, smiling. He smiled back and kissed my forehead. He handed me a little black box, making me regret throwing that pillow at him. I bit my lip and opened the box. I gasped. It was a bracelet entwined with sapphires and a wooden wolf hanging from it. It was beautiful. I threw my arms around him and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you" I whispered
"Anything for you"
He told me to get dressed in something nice, and said he'd be waiting in the living room. Was he planning on taking me to a fancy restaurant? No. It's too early in the morning. I pondered everything as I got changed. I pulled out a dress that Auntie Alice had gotten me. It was a blue dress that was very form fitting. Which was good for me. I pulled it out, and laid it on my bed. I decided to keep my hair curled, and pinned it up with sapphire pins. I put on a natural color eyeshadow and applied eyeliner and mascara. Then, I put on bronze lip gloss that looked beautiful on me. I studied myself in the mirror, pleased with my choices. The dress was strapless, and it zipped up. Along with a few buttons. I slipped this dress on, only to discover that I couldn't reach the zipper. I panicked. Should I ask Jake to zip it up for me? This is so embarrassing.
I took a deep breath, "Jake" I called
"Yeah?"
"I, um, need a favor. I can't exactly reach my zipper"
"Coming"
This is going to be embarrassing. I saw his reflection in the mirror and smiled awkwardly. His eyes widened for a moment, then he went back to normal. He walked over to me, and put his hands on my back. I felt warmth spread through me, and his breath caught. So did mine. He slid it up slowly, neither of us wanting him to stop. He buttoned the buttons too. I turned around, looking down. I thanked him and started to walk away. But, he caught my wrists, and I looked up into his eyes. I could drown in his eyes. I moved my hands up his chest, and wrapped them around his neck, bringing his lips to mine. That fire returned.
He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I pushed him toward my bed, hoping I had enough strength to push him down. I did. I landed on top of him, trying to unbutton his shirt. I got half of them undone before he caught my hands and pulled away. I could see in his eyes that he did want me. We've shared some pretty intense make out sessions these past few days. I couldn't help it, though. We loved each other and could barely keep our hands off each other.
"Ness, no" he breathed
I caught my breath and got off of him. "I'm sorry. I..."
"Don't blame yourself. Let's go"
He stood up and re-buttoned his shirt. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to push those thoughts out of my mind. I closed my eyes, letting a single tear escape. Why was I acting like this all of a sudden? Was it because I knew my parents wouldn't like it? Or did I really want to take this relationship to the next level? It was scary thinking about this. I moved toward the door, not wanting to touch Jake. I couldn't. He tried to grab my hand, but I moved away. I know I'm being childish, but I had to figure my thoughts out. I was about to push open the door when Jake stepped in front of me.
"Ness, what's wrong? Why are you acting like this? Did I do--"
"You didn't do anything, Jake. It's just... me. I don't know what I'm thinking" I gestured to the bed, "I mean, I didn't want this until the subject came up..."
