INTRO:
"Kristen,
wait!" Rob grabbed my wrist and swung me around. I, being my clumsy
self, stumbled into him which gave him the chance to wrap his arm
around my waist. I glared at him.
"Let
go." I firmly commanded through clenched teeth fighting the urge to
collapse into his arms.
"I
don't want to and I know you don't want me to either. Stop trying
to deny it." He pleaded moving his face closer to mine. My heart
failed me but I didn't let my face portray the loose of breath.
These feelings were too much, too fast.
"Robert…"
I kept my eyes down. In the darkness of the night I knew he couldn't
see my eyes swelling with tears. He released my wrist and brushed his
soft fingers against my cheek.
"Kristen…"
His face was an inch from mine now, if I looked up our lips would
touch. My heart throbbed at the thought.
"I
can't do this."
"Don't
be scared. I won't hurt you." His hand moved to under my chin and
I knew what he was about to do but I didn't stop him. His warm lips
pressed softly against mine. I melted into his body and let my heart
get the best of me for only an instant. He pulled away and I could
hear myself breathing hard. "See…"
I
sighed as my body became as rigid as before. I remembered what his
lips had driven from my mind. Why I couldn't do this, why I
couldn't love him. "I can't Robert. Please let me go."
"Why?
You kissed me back. I felt it. You can't kiss someone like that and
feel nothing."
"Well
I can. Okay?! I don't feel anything for you, Robert." I saw the
hurt in his eyes as he believed my lie. His hand dropped from my face
and his arm loosened around my waist. I stumbled backward letting his
arm fall off my waist. He looked betrayed and confused.
"I
don't believe you," he mumbled.
"Well
it's the truth—"
"For
now," he interrupted me, "I know you love me Kristen. And so will
you someday."
Before
I could say anything else he turned and walked off into the darkness.
I heard his car leaving the parking lot. Than I was alone; standing
outside the set of Twilight…
