Night and Day - Twilight Saga - Jacob and Renesmee

Our Chance Meeting

*****Nessie's POV*****

Damn it. Where has the time gone? I'm running behind and still need to pick up the cake. Keys, where did I place the keys? Jacob. He was fixing my car.

"Jacob! Where are the keys? I need to head out and grab your cake."

I stepped outside and overheard music from his workshop. I opened the old screeching door, and saw he was in deep concentration while U2's song With or Without You set the background music for the mellow tone along with the Pacific Northwest overcast. Looking at Jacob, you wouldn't realize he was so old school with his music selection, but his element of surprise was what attracted me to him so much.

I didn't like disturbing him while he worked in his shop, so I stood there in silence observing him. He was in deep concentration that he didn't hear me, but he finally caught a glimpse of me. His lips curved into his easygoing smile, and I didn't feel the urge to rush the day anymore.

I whispered coyly, "Hey."

"Hey. It's not every day I get a visit from my wife at work. It must mean there is something important you have to tell me."

"Don't say it like that. You know I don't like to interrupt you when you're working."

"So what can I help you with?"

As I approached him, I pressed myself against his massive frame and rubbed my hands on his chest.

"I'm looking for my keys, and thought maybe, you would remember where you placed them?"

"Why didn't you take the Volvo?"

I enjoyed the Volvo that my father gave me, but I felt more comfortable in the rabbit.

"Jacob. Please. Do you remember where you placed the keys?" I don't know why he was hesitant about me driving the rabbit, and I know his memory was intact so he had to know where he last placed the keys.

"I honestly don't remember where I placed them, and I also believe you are running behind schedule. Take the Volvo and your problem is solved for now."

He was right. I didn't have much time left. I pulled him down to me until his lips reached mine. He responded back, and even though I had a hard time, I pulled away. He held on tighter to me. I didn't know why he was reacting this way. Almost possessive. "Jacob. You said so yourself that I was running behind, so let me go so I can throw you a grand party."

"I would have been happy with just pizza tonight and relaxing with you and Ephraim." His facial expression seemed worrisome.

"Jacob. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I'll see you later." I released my hand off his face, and he broke a tiny smile. I left his workshop and paced towards the Volvo.

I drove off and headed into the local shop in Forks. There wasn't a lot of selections in town, but Stick a Fork In It was a local deli and bakery shop that had some of the best homemade desserts. I adjusted well to human food, but any form of sweets was definitely my weakness. Tina was the current owner and her mother passed the shop and all the recipes down to her. She always made our family birthday cakes, and she knew Jacob's favorite desserts ever since she could remember.

The bell chimed as I entered the shop, the mixed aroma of deli meat and sweets was a delightful combination. Tina's blushed cheeks were a rosy natural shade that complimented her warm smile. "Renesmee! I was worried you weren't going to make it. I have Jacob's cake all packed up and ready to go."

"Awe, you're too sweet, Tina. Thank you! I am sorry for running behind on time. Car issues." I don't know why I rolled my eyes behind my dark sunglasses when she wouldn't be able to see them.
