Sometimes, there are things that you absolutely can't resist. I had a bad reputation as the ultimate bad boy of Forks, but I was willing to change that. I would change that. I had to, for Esme's sake. She couldn't bear to see me as this…this player. And I could never disappoint Esme, not after everything she had done for me.

Then I saw her, and everything went out the window.

Her long mahogany hair brushed the base of her ribcage-I got the strangest feeling that she didn't have the guts, or heart, to cut it save for a few mandatory trims. Her eyes, a deep brown that warmed my heart, sparkled amazingly. Her complexion was creamy without being pale and blemish-free. She moved with grace, poise and utter confidence.

She was gorgeous.

It was then, right there, that I vowed to make her mine, already forgetting my earlier promise to myself. Standing in my presence was the most beautiful being I had ever seen and I sure as hell wasn't going to let this opportunity was pass without taking full advantage of it. She would and will be mine, now and forever.

She turned suddenly, as if feeling the warmth of my gaze. Her eyes met mine, brown meeting green, and an instant spark flew. I felt almost electrocuted, but at the same time something warm was seeping through my fingertips. There was something between us. It was meant to be. I got up and walked towards her, ignoring the surprised mutters of Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Rose.

If I had known what she had in store for me, I would have turned and fled.
