I woke up to the most beautiful face in the world. Jake, across the room sleeping on my mini sofa, was cheesing at me like a three year old.
"Well good morning sunshine,", he said playfully. I couldn't help but smile. So irresistible. He jogged across the room and stopped at the door.
"You coming?". I grabbed a pair of jeans and a jacket.
I spent more time with the pack than I did my own family. It was sad really, but they were amazing. They were like my brothers. All of them.
"Well, well, well, look who's getting chunky,", Jared giggled.
"Shut up", I moaned, but I couldn't help but smile. I trotted into the middle of the clearing.
"Catch me if you can losers!!!", I yelled at Jake and Jared. This enticed a full on game of tag. I ran, full speed ahead. I heard the tearing of clothes behind me.
"Hey! It's NOT fair if you phase!", I yelled behind me. I ran to the woods and hid behind a shrub, watching Jared sniff around. I giggled.
"What, you can't keep the lead vampire girl?", Jake teased. I jumped.
"I can, but can you?", I chuckled, running. The grass in the clearing was high, so I immediately ducked and rolled onto my back.
I closed my eyes. This was perfect. Jake's scent was everywhere, the sky was clear and the breeze tickled my cheeks. I could've laid there forever.
Everything changed in seconds. One second I'm flat on my back, happier than any person in the world, and the next I'm tossed in the air, caught by warm {strong} hands, and staring into the most beautiful fear-filled eyes in the world.
