What a day.

What a day.

It was like a dream come true. Just me and Nessie, who looked absolutely stunning. And she fit so perfectly in my arms, better than I imagined.

But unfortunately, days come to and end. And Nessie has a father that will not hesitate to kill me if I don't bring her home at a decent time. Staying overnight is completely out of the question for either party. If she sneaks out of her place, Edward would kill me. If I go over there, Edward and Bella would kill me. Regardless, the result is grim for me.

So here I am, laying in my bed. Alone. Listening to Paul and Rachel laughing in the living room. Pour salt in the wound already.

"Could you guys please keep it down? Or get a room?" I yelled out at them. "Some of us like sleeping!"

"As if you're sleeping!" Paul yelled back. "You're in there brooding!"

Couldn't argue with him there, but I had to try. "Please! The way you two are going at it out there, even Jared and Kim would get sick!"

"We're not buying it!" he yelled back.

"Come on, Paul. It's my sister out there!"

"Touche. Come on, Rachel." I heard the door as they left. That was a first… they usually just get louder when I protest. Then there was a small knocking on my door, low down. Billy.

"Hey, Jacob. I asked them to leave for you. You can sleep now."

"Thanks for bursting my bubble. I thought they listened to me for a change."

"Jacob, you know that day will come when Paul stops eating all our food."

"Not going to happen. Night."

"Goodnight, Jacob."

There was no way I would sleep soon, so I flipped on my computer. This could help distract me until I could fall asleep. After surfing about two dozen pages, I was about to give up. Then I heard a familiar chime.

EternalGoldielocks: Hi!

I just stared at it. EternalGoldielocks… who's that? Then it hit me. Nessie! How did she get my screen name? Well, if I can't be with her in person, I guess this will have to do.

RussetCanine: hey
RussetCanine: where did you get my sn?
EternalGoldielocks: Easy! I called Seth.
RussetCanine: figures
RussetCanine: remind me to thank him later.
EternalGoldielocks: Will do!
EternalGoldielocks: And I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.
EternalGoldielocks: And since I can't sneak out or anything, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try and see if you were online.
EternalGoldielocks: And it looks like I got lucky!
RussetCanine: so you have.
RussetCanine: wait a sec-you said "since I can't sneak out."
RussetCanine: don't tell me you tried
EternalGoldielocks: Well… maybe. It crossed my mind.
RussetCanine: that's all it takes with your father
RussetCanine: and could be all it takes for him to decide to kill me, you know that right?
EternalGoldielocks: I told him when he confronted me about it that it was all my idea and that it was your idea to take me home we you did, plus you asked me to stay put and don't do anything stupid.
EternalGoldielocks: He believed me.
RussetCanine: you have that man wrapped, you know that, right?
RussetCanine: daddy's little girl
EternalGoldielocks: Yeah, whatever. One of these days I'll succeed.
RussetCanine: please don't… you might make it so I won't be able to see you period.
RussetCanine: or at least never alone again
EternalGoldielocks: Shit, you're right.
RussetCanine: man, you're language is worse than some of the guys, you know that?
EternalGoldielocks: I try to stop, then I hang out with Emmett again and the rest is history. Dad thinks it's you guys. I keep telling him that you all watch your tongue around me.
EternalGoldielocks: I just work really hard to keep it to myself around Mom and Dad. Dad catches me and always gives me that look and tells me to watch it.
RussetCanine: lol
RussetCanine: again, you have that man wrapped
EternalGoldielocks: Maybe that's a good thing, though!!
RussetCanine: what do you mean?
EternalGoldielocks: It might make things easier for us in the long run!
RussetCanine: yeah… about that
RussetCanine: there's something I need to talk to you about
EternalGoldielocks: Is everything okay?
RussetCanine: everything's fine!
RussetCanine: seriously!
RussetCanine: I just made this promise to your dad that we'd take things slow and easy
RussetCanine: to save his sanity and Bella's
RussetCanine: so no matter how wrapped he is
RussetCanine: there are some things we just cannot do
EternalGoldielocks: Wow.
RussetCanine: wow what?
RussetCanine: I had to make the promise
RussetCanine: or we could never advance at all between us
EternalGoldielocks: It's not that!
EternalGoldielocks: It's just that I just realized that my father's a SERIOUS party-pooper!
RussetCanine: LMAO!
RussetCanine: did you have plans or something for us in the future?
EternalGoldielocks: Maybe…
EternalGoldielocks: And then again, maybe not.
RussetCanine: wow
RussetCanine: you're such a tease
EternalGoldielocks: Why, thank you.
EternalGoldielocks: And I don't even try.
RussetCanine: are you alone?
EternalGoldielocks: Yes, I'm on the laptop Mom and Dad got me for my last birthday in my room.
EternalGoldielocks: Why?
RussetCanine: curious
RussetCanine: I don't want someone reading you talking to me like that
RussetCanine: they might think I am to blame
RussetCanine: and then we won't be able to see each other anymore
EternalGoldielocks: Please. As if they'd be able to keep us apart for very long, anyway.
EternalGoldielocks: Wow, I suddenly became SO tired! I think it's from laying in bed while I type this.
EternalGoldielocks: My nighty is a silk cami dress one Alice got me. It's a pale pink, almost white.
RussetCanine: …why are you telling me this?
EternalGoldielocks: Because I can.
RussetCanine: why must you torture me so?
EternalGoldielocks: Because isn't that what girlfriends do?
RussetCanine: girlfriend?
RussetCanine: so you want to make this official?
EternalGoldielocks: That kiss was pretty official, if I remember correctly.
RussetCanine: you have a point
EternalGoldielocks: And trust me, it's a nice feeling.
RussetCanine: what is?
RussetCanine: you being my girlfriend or kissing me?
EternalGoldielocks: Both, of course! I wish I could have one more of the latter before bed, though. But then you might end up as a wolf-skin rug…
RussetCanine: go to sleep, love
RussetCanine: I'll come over tomorrow
RussetCanine: think about things you want to do
EternalGoldielocks: I already have a few ideas…
RussetCanine: that won't get me killed
EternalGoldielocks: Damn.
EternalGoldielocks: Goodnight sweet prince. And flocks of angels sing thee to thy rest.
RussetCanine: wait…isn't that when Hamlet dies?
EternalGoldielocks: Yeah, but it's still pretty. And can apply to saying goodnight, too, right?
RussetCanine: if you say so
EternalGoldielocks: I do say so!
RussetCanine: alright then it's settled
EternalGoldielocks: Yay!
RussetCanine: goodnight, my Nessie
EternalGoldielocks: Goodnight, Jacob. I love you so much! Hope you sleep well and have sweet dreams.
RussetCanine: I love you too
RussetCanine: and sweet dreams to you
EternalGoldielocks: I'll dream about you. My dreams are guaranteed to be sweet, then. 'Night.

EternalGoldielocks changed her status to "I'm asleep! Go away! Except you, Jacob."

I chuckled at her away message and shut down my computer. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, my dreams filled of thoughts of my Nessie.
