Day 4: Friendship

Day 4: Friendship

"come on. Get up. We have a lot of lost time to make up for.!", Jacob's voice ordered.

Jacob!, I thought excitedly.

I felt a wet tongue on my mouth, he was licking me!

I tried not to smile as that would give away that I was awake.

"Uh Ness?, Trixie's awake"

Trixie?,I thought unconsciously threatening to fall victim to sleep.

Then it dawned on me….

"Trixie!", I exclaimed jumping up. Jacob laughed.

Trixie barked and jumped back looking offended.

I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed.

"Jacob. What's up?"

He reached over and pushed a lock of hair behind my ear and smiled.

"I told you we gotta make up for lost time so come on", he grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

I looked out my window only to be greeted by blackness.

"Jacob", I looked at him.

"It's still dark outside", I pointed to the window.

His eyes followed my finger out the window .

"I know. But it's actually about 5:00. It's morning"

I made a skeptical face.

Jacob shrugged. "Unless you just don't wanna hang out with me cause you know, that's cool too…",, he headed to my door.

"Wait! No! no! , I'm coming , Wait!", I said hurriedly scrambling to my dresser to get dressed.

I tossed some clothes onto my bed. I started lifting my shirt up but I didn't get the hem over my navel before I remembered Jacob.

I looked at him he was leaned against the door frame with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

I made a face. "So are you gonna leave so I can get dressed or what?"

He shook his head sipping from a cup with and amused expression.

"I hadn't planned on it."

"Jacob!", I blushed.

He laughed and exited the room. "I was kidding!", he called.

I got trix out from under my bed. [Don't ask me why she was even under there, I couldn't tell you]

I cleaned and fed both of us then pulled on some stretchy yoga pants and a tank top.

I quickly pulled my hair into a bouncy ponytail and left through the kitchen door.

"Ready?", Jacob said .

"for What?"

"We're going for a walk"

"Cool I said as we began walking.

"It's so dark", I said quietly as Trixie trotted beside me.

"Are you scared?", he said from somewhere to the right.

I looked in his direction seeing nothing.

I grabbed his hand instinctively. "No"

He chuckled. "You look scared".

"You can see me?"

"Wolf night vision"

The cool air whipped my face.

"So where are we?", I quizzed

He squeezed my hand. "You don't believe me?"

I loved his strong hands. "No, I don't"

"We're at Widow's Peak, there's a river", he put his arm around me, it felt bare, I assumed that he was wearing a short sleeved shirt.

I put my head on his shoulder.

"I'm so glad we're friends", I said into the darkness.

Below, Trixie and Ralph barked playfully at each other.

We didn't bother restraining them.

"Me too", he said putting his chin on.

"This is nice", he added.

I wrapped my arms around his waist which was strangely hard and smooth for a shirt, but I liked it.

"So tell me about yourself"', I said as we let Trixie and Ralph run free ahead of us since it was getting light.

"What's your favorite color?", I prodded.

He considered for a moment.

"Blue", he said certainly.

"What's yours",he murmured.

"You're never gonna believe this, but…blue", I said in a small voice.

He scoffed. "Give me a break"

"No really! My room's blue isn't it?"

He shrugged. "I guess."

"What's your favorite thing to do?", he countered.

"I like listening to music. What about you?", I said blinking fresh rain from my eyes.

"My new favorite thing is hanging out with you"

I blushed. and glanced at him then did an immediate double take.

"Y-your'e not wearing a shirt!", I said gasping quickly.

He shrugged. "So? I just don't get cold."

"You work out?.", I breathed gesturing to his abs.

He bit his lip.. "A bit."

I scoffed. "A bit? Really? Come on, don't be modest"

He just chuckled.

I looked him up and down. "Look at you Jake, you're hot", I said tingling with excitement.

He looked embarrassed.

Then, I'll admit, I took it a step too far.

"I'd so do you right now. Like… hard." I bit my lip an looked at the ground ashamed, I hadn't meant to say that much.I was shocked at my courage and the truthfulness of these words.

I could smell all his blood rush to somewhere in particular. Hmm…

I needed to tone it down just a smidge.

"Can I touch you?", I whispered breathily.

"Yes.", he half whispered, half moaned. '"Wait what?", he said quickly looking at me.

"Huh? I just wanted to touch arm." I pointed to his arm.

"Oh… uh… okay"

I touched his arm gingerly.

He chuckled nervously."I thought you meant my…. Never mind"

I rubbed his arm and the muscles bulged.

"Damn", I said impressed.

I patted his abs." What do you need a eight pack for?", I chuckled.

He smiled watching me then he said randomnly,

"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?"

I knew the answer at once."I've always wanted to g to Alaska and see the northern lights", I said shyly. I'd never shared thatdream with anyone.

He seemed deep in thought. "Okay, cool"

I sighed; relieved he didn't find my dream stupid.

"And you?", I asked squinting against the sun.

"The Transylvanian alps."

"Alps?"

"Mountains."

"Oh cool."

We walked peacefully and chatted about nothing in particular as we continued our q and a's.

Trixie and Ralph kept each other company. They seemed to be communicating, flirting even.

"Do you think Trixie and Ralph will hook up?", I asked Jacob. He chuckled.

"She seems to really like him", I said while Trixie humped Ralph.

"Well, Ralph is a stud, Takes after me."

I laughed. " "

We kept walking and soon approached the house.

" walk's over. I was having fun", I sighed.

"Don't worry, we can go again tomorrow", Jacob assured me.

"Really?", I said turning to him my eyes shining.

"Sure, we'll make a thing out of it."

I laughed with glee. "Great."

We sat silently on the porch steps.

"Renesmee!", a shrill angry voice said from inside the house.

I jumped. Jacob stood. "I'd better go… pick you up tomorrow?"

I smiled. "Sure."

"Kay, see ya." he flashed me a perfect smile before disappearing into the woods.

The door banged close and out flitted Alice who sat beside me.

"Thank god you're all right!"

I made a face."Of course I'm all right…why wouldn't I be?"

"Your parents came looking for you and you were gone"

"Oh, well I'd just went for a walk with Jacob"

"I called you ness", she sighed.

"Sorry, I left my phone", I shrugged.

"It's fine, I just wish you'd take your phone with you, okay?"

"Sure Alice, I can do that"

"Did you forget we were going shopping today?",

Whoops. I waved my hand dismissively. "Pssh, no, silly"

"Right.", Alice said unconvinced handing me my phone.

"Can I invite Jacob", I was already text-inviting him.

"Absolutely not."

I looked up from my text."Why?"

"Because, it's just us girls."

"That's hardly fair."

"Fine, invite your little boyfriend", she smirked.

My body heated."He's not my boyfriend, we're just friends", I said quickly.

"I don't know, the way you two """act you'd think you were going out, you sure there's nothing else there?", she chuckled tinkly.

"Postive.", I finished my text.

"You already wanna talk to him more than me.", Alice noted.

"Alice!", I hissed. "You know that's not true!"

Before she could respond Jacob came through the trees.

"Jacob!", I said bounding off the steps and into his arms.

"It's been too long!", I said chuckling when he released me.

He laughed."Yeah, I haven't seen you in minutes!"

We laughed together.

"So where are we off to first?", Jacob said.

"I don't know, it's Alice idea."

She danced over to us at the mention of her name. "The mall", she grinned brightly and led us into the car and the beginning of a very long, tiring day.

We pulled into the mall's parking lot and got out. We entered the mall. A Spanish man kept looking at me. "Ooh! Charlotte Russe!", Alice said hurrying into the bright, chic store.

Me and Jacob exchanged wary looks.

"Alice slow down!", I hissed looking around to make sure no one had seen her vampire speed. They hadn't, though one blonde kept glancing at me like she expected me to do something crazy. It made me feel bad, and it pissed me off. "Can you believe these people?", I said not bothering to keep my voice down.

"What's up?", Jacob said not seeming to be embarrassed about my behavior.

"These people", I looked around. "They keep staring."

Jacob glanced around."They think that we're dating"

I blushed and wanted very much to be out of this store.

"Oh", I looked around frantically for Alice.

Jacob saw my expression and frowned."If you're uncomfortable here we can go to another store."

"You're a lifesaver." He smiled and put his arm around me and together we left the store. "Hey Alice!", I called. "We're going to Claire's across from here." "Ok!"

"So why Claire's?", Jacob asked when we entered the boutique.

"It's close"

Claire's was even worse. It was full of snobby teens and preteens.

They stared at Jacob.

Hard.

And get this, one of the little cunts was even bold enough to go ask him if he had a sufficient girlfriend, then glanced at me. A group of girls, winked at him and fanned themselves while their glossy lips formed the word 'hot'.

I looked away. I couldn't ask Jacob if we could leave now, it'd be to obvious. I looked at the exit longingly and two girls walked out, one saying."Did you see him?". The other answered. "Hell yeah", she flipped her hair."I would wreck that." "Totally", the first girl agreed as she reglossed her lips.

A blonde who looked to be about 16 walked up to him and said."Um excuse me but, have we met before?"

I made a face and bounced anxiously. I glanced up at Jacob hoping he wouldn't ditch me for this busty blonde.

"I don't think so", Jacob said." Can I help you?"

She nodded. "'Yeah. Can you help me have an orgasm?", she giggled.

I gasped.

Jacob's eyes were smoldering. "Certainly.", he said huskily.

I gasped again this time in disgust. I could smell her vagina moistening and opening for easy access. She breathed heavily.

"Oh God", I covered my mouth and nose.

"But I won't", Jacob said guiding me to the door. A swarm of girls ran over and touched him wherever they could. I stiffened, clenched my teeth, and bit my tongue to keep from doing or saying something I might regret .He gently peeled the girls off and the cashier winked at him and said "Have a good day", in a sexy voice.

Soon we were safe outside the store." Every single vagina was on fire", I said through clenched teeth. "Can you smell it too?"

I nodded. Just then some girls walked out of the store complaining, one said that she was going to have to walk around with wet panties all day. The others agreed. "It's like my panties have bee blasted with a cum filled super soaker!", one said. Jacob looked traumatized. I punched his arm playfully. "What's the matter?, You don't enjoy being pined over?. A grin cracked my mock disbelief.

His laugh came out with a gush of air . " Uh,No"

"Where to now?", Jacob asked.

I grinned."Footlocker?"

"You're awesome"

"I know"

He smiled and swung his arm over my shoulders. It pleased me that he didn't seem bothered displaying our friendship publicly.

"Welcome to Footlocker take your time.", the black dude at the register said. I looked at some sweet Vans that were on display."I think the heels are over there", Jacob grinned.

"Don't try to play me, you know I'm a tom boy", I grinned back.

"Since when?", Jacob said as I tried on the pair of Vans.

"I got my Vans on but they look like sneakers!", I sang dancing.

"Shut up" Jacob laughed, cracking up and trying on black hightops.

I set the Van's aside and tried on some pink converses."Those are some shoes you'll never see me in",Jacob said. I looked up "What? Converses? Because they're pink? Come on Jake don't be such a guy, dudes can wear pink… I bet you'd look hot in pink"

"No not because they're pink, though your right I'd look super hot in pink", he laughed.

I laughed and the guy at the register glanced up."They don't have men converses. Girls and guya wear the same shoes." "Ohh", I nodded. I could understand his views but it didn't bother me. "Plus converses are for the neon skinny jean type and real men do not wear neon colored skinny jeans." I made a face. "Well thank you for enlightening me". "No prob"

"I cannot believe you actually left me", Alice trilled from the doorway. "We told you we were", I shrugged as we paid for our shoes. "I didn't think you were serious", she said carrying 9 huge bags on one arm. I raised my eyebrows. "'Should I even ask what all that is?"

"No. Bath & Body here we come!", Alice announced before Jacob could protest. She flitted into the store with us following behind all because we loved her. Which is why we found ourselves smelling scent after scent.

"Wonderland", Jacob said picking up a bottle with deep blue liquid and handing it to Alice. She smelled it." Hmm, well done Jacob", she tried to reach up and pat his shoulder. She was too small so she settled on patting his arm to express her approval. "Well done." For some reason, their contact bothered me so I slid to the back of the store so I wouldn't have to hear them laugh and joke about her small stature. I picked up a bottle with light purple lotion called 'Midnight dream'. It had a breathtaking picture of a forest with a purple- blue starlit sky above it on it. There was also a shining silver moon in the sky.

I flipped open the top and smelled it. It smelled fantastic, so I took another whiff."Aah.", I sighed. "How refreshing!" I bought it then. Alice bought enough product to start her own store. She practically cleaned the store out. Jacob and I weren't surprised, that was to be expected of Alice. "Let's go to a store for dudes", I said. Alice looke d like I'd betrayed her.

"What? Why?" Jacob smiled. "See? Ness has got my back.", He rubbed my back with his strong warm hand making me shiver."Let's go to men's Hollister", I said as we approached it. "Renesmee!", Alice said outraged."Relax Alice, we can go hot guy scoping" I grinned. She turned to me. "All right! I like your thinking! Maybe I can try to be attracted to someone other than Jasper, hasn't happened sense we met..", she had a dreamy look in her eye. I slugged her arm. "Alice. Focus" She snapped out of it. "But I'm ready to de-rust my hot guy radar!" "Hot guy scoping", Alice repeated. "I think my radar is going off beep beep!", I said as my eyes followed a surfer guy. Alice laughed her cute tinkly laugh and I joined in giggling. Jacob cleared his throat in aggravation. I smiled to myself before turning to look at him. "Something wrong?", he shrugged and mumbled incoherently. "Oh please, like you wouldn't go to Victoria's Secret looking for girls that have no self respect."

"I'm not looking for anyone", his tone made my skin hot. So he'd already found someone.

We walked up the stairs to Hollister and he was still sullen. I wrapped both my arms around him. "Come on jake, don't be a sour puss. You know I love you, schmoopie!", I said acting silly as I planted ridiculously wet kisses all over his cheek. Alice aughed."You are so weird" "Says the chronic shopaholic" , I countered. Alice chuckled."Touche.'" He was still frowning. "Do you want a kiss?", he cracked a smile. "Y-no"

"Yes you do you almost said so. Come here. Let mommy kiss you and make it all better", I said in a silly baby voice. I grabbed his cheek and kissed it. He turned red. Once he was happy, we entered Hollister.

I felt like I was in a male strip club. It was set up like a bachelor pad with sunken floors. It made me uncomfortable, it was so dark and creepy in here. I was the only one bothered by this. Alice wasn't buying anything of course, but she wasn't freaking out either. Jacob certainly wasn't going crazy like me. He wasn't looking for anything he was just watching me be uncomfortable and smirking. I guess that's what I get for trying to make him jealous. "So you ready to go?", I asked trying to keep calm by patting my hand on my thigh. He grabbed my hand and held it as we walked. His grip was firm and strong. My hand was lost in his. "All better?", he whispered when I'd calmed down. He was so sexy I couldn't think or concentrate. I could barely walk! I actually fell twice on the sunken floor and Jacob had to catch me which was, as Alice put it, "So cute!"

He ended up not buying anything, but I don't think he ever intended to. He said he was "only amusing himself", he then proceeded to laugh. His laugh was deep and sexy. I discovered with a sudden shock that I wanted him to fuck me. Violently. But since there was no chance of that ever happening. I tried to get it out of my mind. But Jacob and his insufferable ways made that impossible so I suffered through the horniness the rest of the night. So when we got on the highway I sincerely hoped we would just go home."So where are we going now. Home?", I yawned pointedly. "I don't know",Alice said.

"We've been at the mall all day", I said in a diplomatic way like I'd only just noticed but wasn't bothered by it. Though I was. I'd had a lot of fun but i hadn't intended to spend the whole day at the mall."Where do you wanna go?", Jacob asked. I now realized that staying out meant more time with Jacob. I hadn't yet decided if that was a good thing. I'd just have to battle the lust all night. I sighed.

"Ness?" I jumped to attention. "Wha- oh, I don't know anywhere's fine" I yawned. "Are you tired? Do you wanna go home?", he asked. "No! I mean, no I'm not tired. We should go to… The Food Mart", I blurted out. They looked at me skeptically as we pulled into the parking lot. "Okaay", Alice said. I hopped out the car and was awakened by a gush of cold air. " I Love the cold", I said as we followed the light of the store to lead us out of the dark. "It's so refreshing". Once in the cozy comfort of the Food Mart we started walking around. Alice left to a separate part of the store"Jacob", I said pointing. "What are all those pumpkins for?" "They're for Halloween." He said putting his arm around my shoulder. It was still strange us being friends I'd have to get used to him glaring at me or saying hurtful things. I'd grown accustomed to it. "Halloween?", I said questioningly. He nodded. "Yeah Halloween is October 31st and kids dress in costumes and get candy from their neighbors." I looked up at him forgetting where I was."Tell me more."

"Well let's see" he searched for a place to start. The store was empty except for a balding man who was strolling lazily through the liquor aisle we'd just passed. "It originated from an old folk tale", he began his story. "Many years ago on All Hallows Eve witches, ghosts, zombies and demons would all come out, it's supposedly the only time when the veil between the living and dead is lifted. So, in an effort to protect themselves, people dressed up as monsters so they could blend in with the evil beings who wanted to drag them into their evil realm. I shivered in fright. He squeezed his arm tight around my waist.

"Don't be scared", he murmured. I looke d up at him. "I'm N-n-not, finish the story". We left the store and sat back in the car waiting for Alice to come out while he finished the story. "And some people believe that to this day , On Halloween, witches fly across the sky summoning the dead and damned."

I shook violently and stared into the blackness. I looked around scared and paranoid. "I wish Alice would hurry up" He shook his head. "But that's just a story. Most people don't even believe it, so don't worry. Besides, werewolves and vampires are more than a match for any Halloween spooks." He smiled. I smiled back. I was very much aware of the fact that our faces were pretty close.[This could be it! Just kiss him! Do it! You'll never find out his true feelings if you keep being a coward!], I scolded myself. My eyelids fluttered closed. [But what if he doesn't like me like that?], part of me wondered. [ So what? It's not like he's gonna slap me for kissing him, only girls do that.] I leaned forward testing his reaction. [Hold up! Doesn't he get a say in this?] one part of my subconscious said.

[Your 16 now! Your pretty, nice and friends why wouldn't he?] a persistent part of my subconscious counter-argued.

I slid my hand to the back of his neck.

"Ness", he breathed.

I recognized the rejection. I sighed and let my hand drop. I started to ask why not, when a sharp knock on the window startled me.

"Open the door", Alice said.

Jacob unlocked the door and I went back to the back seat so Alice could sit in the front.

"So", she said as she put the key in the ignition. "What were you guys talking about?"

"Halloween", Jacob said smoothly.

I was awed at how he completely masked what'd just occurred. I admired him for it. I wasn't really mad or upset by his rejection. I had literally, all the time in the world to capture him and make him mine. And I would. Of that, I was certain. With that that thought in mind, I settled in the backseat and dozed off.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzz

All too soon, we arrived at my house. I was having a good rest. Alice had gone home. Jacob tried to wake me in the backseat but I was sound asleep and wouldn't budge. In my dreamlike state, I felt his arms around my back as he scooped me up effortlessly and carried me inside. He was sitting me on my comfy maroon couch when I awoke.

"Hey", he said gently. I smiled sleepily. "Hey"

What a perfect way to wake up.

"You're parents weren't here so I thought I'd stay with you, so you wouldn't be lonely, if that's okay with you."

I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Yeah, Of course. We can have a slumber party.", I said groggily. He chuckled and I had a feeling he'd been thinking about our near- miss in the car earlier.

"Will you watch a movie with me?", I asked sliding over to the dvds.

"Depends on what it is."

"It's a secret", I said popping the mystery movie in. I grabbed the remote from the coffee table before snuggling into Jacob. I put my head on his shoulders as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I threw my legs in and tucked them in. He moved his hand to my exposed legs and squeezed. "Hope this is a good movie.", he murmured. I choked in my throat. I waited for the movie to play and Jacob pulled a moss green blanket over us. Meanwhile the TV blared on:

{They call him Kipper… Kipper the dog.}

I had to keep from laughing because I could feel Jacob's unbelieving stare.

"Kipper? Really?"

My laugh burst out. "It's a guilty pleasure of mine"

He chuckled his sexy, deep, man chuckle. "I see"

He watched without complaint as Kipper and his friends, Pig and Arnold followed red arrows through the woods. "This is my favorite part ", I said. Pig discovers Arnold has unraveled his whole shirt.

{Wheres it gone? It's all your fault Arnold}]

"Sure, blame Arnold", I laughed. Jacob chuckled.

{You kept messing with it and now we're lost!}, Pig cried distressedly.

I laughed again. "He says it like their lost because Arnold was messing with his shirt!" I found it hilarious. Jacob chuckled as he absentmindedly played with my hair.

"I think it's cute that you like these kid shows", he murmured twirling my hair around his finger. I blushed at his words and at our contact.

"I like being with you" I told him straightforwardly.

He cleared his throat. "I like hanging out with you too", he said cautiously but sincerely.

I fell asleep smiling on an episode where kipper had the hiccups.
