Chapter 9, here we come!! =D
Aunt Rosalie drove up a little later, avoiding all eye contact. Dad kept a smug smile on his face as he read her embarrassed thoughts. She held her head up high as she tossed Jacob's keys to him. "Your engine is terrible, sa pamamagitan ng the way," she said. She walked in the house, her nose still in the air, trying to hold on to what dignity she had left. I would have laughed, except I liked my head on my body. "I like it that way!" Jacob yelled after her. As soon as she was out of earshot, Jacob turned to Dad, his face falling a little. "Does it run badly?" he asked. Dad shook his head. "No," he grinned. "She thinks it runs great. She's jealous of how you can put together a car so well." Jake grinned, and Uncle Emmett laughed, the sound echoing off the trees. Aunt Rosalie hissed from inside, and there was a crash. "Crap!" Uncle Emmett sinabi under his breath. He raced inside to see what had been damaged.
We had a reunion that lasted most of the night. Grandma and Aunt Alice made my paborito foods; pancakes, gawing kalokohan cake, carmel popcorn, and I ate until I was stuffed. We watched my paborito movies. Alice gave me a makeover. I had been greatly missed, I could tell.
I thought madami about imprinting. I had seen the difference from Sam and Emily's relationship to other human ones at Brenton. I had always been jealous of Uncle Emmett's and Aunt Rosalie's relationship. It was deep and passionate. They often just gazed at each other, memorizing the other's face. I had always wanted a relationship like Mom and Dad's, though. They were obviously very very in love; that hadn't changed when Mom became a vampire. I thought that no one could pag-ibig madami than them, but I was wrong. There was one exception. Jake and I. This made me extremely happy.
Before I could stop myself, I let out a huge yawn. Uncle Emmett laughed. "It's only two a.m!" he teased. "But I guess it's bedtime for the hamp." 'Hamp' was Uncle Emmett's nickname for me. It meant 'half human, half vampire.' I didn't like the distinction he made (I was a little touchy about the half vampire, half human thing. Which was I?) but I also didn't mind it.
"I'm okay, yet," I said, sticking out my toungue at him. "Besides, I can sleep in tomorrow. I'll be here all day..." I trailed off and looked at Jacob. He grinned and pressed his lips to mine. I would never get tired of that feeling, no matter how much he kissed me.
Uncle Emmett groaned. "Stop it! You're giving me a stomach ache!" he teased. "Now I know how you all felt about me and Rose," he added, grinning. Everyone nodded, still watching Jake and I. They were happy to see us happy (they all loved Jacob, too) but we were starting to disgust them. Jacob felt the mood change.
"You should go to sleep, Nessie," Jacob said. He was probably the only person I'd really listen to, completely, ever again. "We can do whatever you want tomorrow. We have time." I grinned. "Okay," I agreed. Jacob scooped me up and walked out the door, towards the cottage in the woods.
His arms cradled me securely to his chest, and I placed both my hands on either side of my face. He sighed and closed his eyes. I snuggled closer.
We reached the cottage pretty soon. Without losing his grip on me, he opened the door, turned on the lights, and led me to my room, setting me down carefully on the bed. I snuggled up susunod to him, not bothering with the covers to keep warm. I perferred Jacob anyways.
We stayed that way for a few minutes, just breathing together in the dark.
"Do you pag-ibig me, Nessie?" Jacob finally asked.
This tanong stung me. Did he think I didn't pag-ibig him? Wasn't I ipinapakita enough affection? "You know I do," I answered, tracing his features in the dark, trying to find a clue in his expression to his question.
"Then marry me," he said.
I gasped. "What?"
"C'mon, Ness!" he pleaded. "I pag-ibig you, you pag-ibig me back, finally, and there's no point in waiting anymore! We could ilipat to La Push, buy a house. Or stay here, even, if that's what you want. Or go anywhere you want. We can get Esme to build us a nice little house just like this one for our kids. Nothing would change, except that we'd finally officially belong to each other. Alice could do our wedding. Carlisle could read the vows..." he went on with his crazy rambling, and his voice got madami and madami earnest, madami pleading, madami desperate.
He thought I was saying no.
"Jake, Jake, stop!" I pleaded. "I'm not saying no!"
"Oh." He breathed in deeply, calming his shaking hands. "Sorry."
I didn't even have to think it over. Nothing in my life was madami certain right now than the fact I loved and wanted Jacob.
"Yes."
"Yes, what?" he sounded impatient.
"Yes, I'll marry you. I do."
Jacob sighed and the sound was happy. "Thank-you, Ness." He kissed me, the hottest halik we'd had since the night of the dance, and I knew this was right.

It's all hats off now, all drum rolls and applause
sa pamamagitan ng slight of the hand you will turn them into dust
A face to face you will lead them sa pamamagitan ng the fall
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
It’s all good luck charms
All trying to understand
Indeed inside me will always hope for worse
You say you keep them close by
They're closer than you think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
susunod spring will bring you back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe you will be the one
Who'll draw the line in the sand
For us to crawl
It's all past bats now
All painting gorgeous time
And maybe when the night comes
You'll open up the cage
You'll open up the cage
sa pamamagitan ng slight of the hand you will turn them into dust
A face to face you will lead them sa pamamagitan ng the fall
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
It’s all good luck charms
All trying to understand
Indeed inside me will always hope for worse
You say you keep them close by
They're closer than you think
A track fiend and the saw dust
You're allowed to stare it out
susunod spring will bring you back again
You'll sigh and crack the whip for us
And maybe you will be the one
Who'll draw the line in the sand
For us to crawl
It's all past bats now
All painting gorgeous time
And maybe when the night comes
You'll open up the cage
You'll open up the cage
Your lips are nettles
Your tongue is wine
Your laughter’s liquid
But your body’s pine
You pag-ibig all sailors
But hate the beach
You say come touch me
But you’re always out of reach
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
Your arms are lovely
Yellow and rose
Your back’s a meadow
Covered in snow
Your thighs are thistles
And hot-house grapes
You breathe your sweet breath
And have me wait
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
I turn the lights out
I clean the sheets
You change the station
Turned up the heat
And now you’re sitting
Upon your chair
You’ve got me Gusot up
Inside your beautiful black hair
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
Your tongue is wine
Your laughter’s liquid
But your body’s pine
You pag-ibig all sailors
But hate the beach
You say come touch me
But you’re always out of reach
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
Your arms are lovely
Yellow and rose
Your back’s a meadow
Covered in snow
Your thighs are thistles
And hot-house grapes
You breathe your sweet breath
And have me wait
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
I turn the lights out
I clean the sheets
You change the station
Turned up the heat
And now you’re sitting
Upon your chair
You’ve got me Gusot up
Inside your beautiful black hair
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
In the dark you tell me of a flower
That only blooms in the kulay-lila hour
