Chapter 2
The affect Seth had on me was scary. I was shocked that he even came over to me. How could I get so lucky? We walked the beach for about an hour and got to know each other. I felt comfortable with him, safe.
"What's your last name?" I asked.
"Clearwater." Jade Clearwater. Jade Skyler Clearwater. I had to stop it; I had to stop it now! Why was I thinking this? Most of the time when I met a guy at a party, or anywhere, I was reluctant to give them my number, let alone plan our future children!
"That's a nice name. Where are you from?"
"Here and there and everywhere."
"An army brat?"
"Actually I don't have a dad."
"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" he looked embraced.
"That's alright. He's just your average jerk off who knocks up girls and never talks to them again. Honestly, it hurt when I was a kid and my school had a daddy daughter dances, but not now. It's always been my mom and me." We would get into my mom another time if we ended up getting close. Somehow I knew we would, and that scarred me. "So what about your dad?"
"Greatest guy in the world. He passed away a couple years ago. He had a heart attack." Now I was the one embraced.
Seth's Point of View
I wanted to wrap her in my arms and tell her how in love with her I really was from the start, but she'd think I was a creeper. I was trying to take things slow so she would trust me. I knew she felt the pull but for crying out loud she didn't even know me! I guess I was lucky. She wasn't holding much back. I wanted to know everything about her inside and out. I wondered what she would taste like…. Okay, thoughts like those were going to get me in trouble. I couldn't touch her too much until she knew my secret. She might notice my hot skin.
She put her hand out so I could take it but I pretended like I didn't see it. She shivered and I instinctively put my arm around her. Shit! Good thing I waste wearing long sleeves. smiled because she fit in my arms perfectly. I bet she'd fit other ways too."
"Seth?"
"Yeah?" I asked softly, hoping she didn't know what I had been thinking about.
"Why are we here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you come over and whisk me away?"
"Because your fine." I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her perfect chest. "I was kidding!" I said quickly. "I don't know exactly why. Something just told me to do it." She seemed satisfied with that answer, thank god!
She moaned softly and leaned into me. "What's your favorite place you've ever lived?" I asked trying to fight the urge to touch her any more.
"Hmm. I loved California and Detroit."
"Why Detroit?"
"I don't know it's an amazing city. The skyline takes my breath away. I was born there and we've lived there a few times since then. I plan on going to University of Michigan and getting an apartment downtown."
This worried me. Detroit was a dangerous place and the thought of my girl down there alone made me shake a little.
"Are you okay?" Jade's sweet voice calmed me immediately.
"Yeah I'm alright." I smiled at her. "Tell me more about Detroit.
"The people movers are by far my favorite part! They're like an above ground subway and they travel all around the city. My friends and I always got on them at night and stayed on until sunrise. When the city's all lit up it's just…." She trailed off.
"So you like big cities?"
"Love them." She gushed. "I don't know something about cities make me feel less…." She trailed off again. "Never mind." She stifled a yawn.
"Do you want me to take you home?"
"No that's alright. I think I can manage getting home by myself." Why didn't she want me to take her home?
After a few seconds I convinced her, but she still was reluctant. I wanted to know why. I wanted to know everything. We talked a lot but it still wasn't enough. She was holding back.
Then I felt stupid. Of course she's not going to bear her whole soul! We just met!
I led her out to the Volvo. "Bitching ride!"
I laughed. "I borrowed it from a friend."
After I got her home, I thought about going to see Jake, but decided against it. I decided to go home and get some sleep. After all, I had a big day tomorrow. I had to tell her. I figured I might take her to Emily's. Jacob was the Alpha now. When Emily got pregnant, he didn't want the responsibility anymore.
When I got home I told Mom and Leah about imprinting. Leah was bitter and jealous. Whatever. Mom squealed. She was extremely happy for me.
I tried to make it brief with them and got in bed. I didn't sleep though. I played back the night in my head again and again.
Jade's Point of View
When I got home I was in a trance. It was ridiculous because I never got this girly and exited. My mom soon broke me out of it though. She was pissed that I left. For once I let her scream and didn't say much back. I wanted to get into bed so I could see him again.
I lied there and thought about having his arm around me. He was so warm. I also thought about some un-ladylike things. I never had thoughts like that before. For some reason it felt like it was okay though.
I wasn't sure of much, but I was positive that I was in love with Seth Clearwater. It surprised me because I never really believed in love. I never had a good example of it. My entire life, I never seen two people who were made for each other. It was a pessimistic view but I swore by it…until tonight.
AN/ well I hope you guys liked chapter 2. And PLEASE review. Thanks
