Jacob’s face hurt from smiling so much.  They had been out for about an hour so far and Renesmee was doing very well with her driving lessons.  The thing she had the most trouble with was keeping both hands on the steering wheel.  Jacob had to keep getting after her every time she reached for his hand.

Jacob happily watched her as she attempted to back into a parking spot at the beach.  “For this, you can take one hand off the steering wheel, place it on the back of the seat in order to see behind you better,” Jacob instructed.

She smiled slyly as she slid her right hand behind his neck and began playing with his hair.  “You need a trim,” she teased.

“You need to focus,” he reminded her, pulling her hand from his hair and then he turned to wink at her.

Renesmee backed in slowly, her tongue slightly peeking out from between her lips to help with her concentration. “There...I did it!” she announced as she completed her task.

Jacob unbuckled and exited the car, looking all around to make sure she had parked correctly.  “You are amazing,” he declared as he circled around and opened the driver’s side door.  “Wanna go for a walk with me?”

She sighed softly, unbuckled and joined him.  She took his outstretched hand and intertwined her fingers with his.  “I’d love to go anywhere with you, Jacob.”
…………
Renesmee squeezed Jacob’s hand and glanced up at him. They had been walking for a little while and he had become quiet.  “Everything okay?”

He nodded slowly as he turned to look at her.  “I was just wondering...how was your date last night?”

Renesmee shrugged her shoulders. “Where is this coming from?”

Jacob cocked his head and made a face, “Well I was thinking…”

“Never a good thing,” Renesmee teased.

Jacob growled playfully and tried to look mad, but he just couldn’t do it.  “Anyway...I was thinking maybe you should tell me what happened with Seth.”

“Why?”

Jacob stopped and walked around to face her. “Because...I’m gonna find out sooner or later,” he paused when she made a face indicating she didn’t understand.  “Wolf telepathy remember?”

“Oh.”

“The next time I’m around Seth and he thinks about you, then I’ll see it and...I’d like to be prepared,” he explained.

Renesmee furrowed her brow. “Why would Seth be thinking of me at all?”

“That’s pretty much all us guys do...is think about girls.”

She smiled widely, “Oh really?”

Jacob rolled his eyes and sighed.  “I’m not really supposed to tell anyone that,” he said as a smile started to form at the corners of his mouth.

“And why is that?” she purred as she slid her hands around his waist and gazed up at him.

Jacob trailed his hands up her arms and brought them to rest on her shoulders. “Because it makes us sound like dogs.”

Renesmee stifled a giggle.  “Oh, I see,” she replied sarcastically. “Unlike the dogs you really are.”

Jacob groaned playfully as he lifted her over his shoulder and ran toward the water.  “That’s it, Nessie!  You’re goin’ in the water!”

“Jacob, no!” she squealed, barely able to contain her laughter. 

He pulled her off his shoulder and cradled her in his arms.  “Ready? 1...2...3....” he teased as he held her over the water.
