"Are you and your parents leaving again?" I asked as Bennett and I sat on the rocks by the river. We had already celebrated my mother's birthday and it was currently a week after. Ben and I had once again become inseparable.
"I don't know Renesemee. I hope we stay here." He replied and kicked his feet in the water, splashing me at the same time which was returned with a surprised and slightly angry squeal from me.
"Me too. I don't know what would happen if you, Aunt Rose and Uncle Em left again." I replied softly. He splashed me again this time soaking my clothes.
"Ben! Stop splashing me!" I yelled angrily.
"Fine." He replied and got up from his rock, pulling his shirt off as he got up. I was too caught up in the sight of his bare chest to notice that he disappeared. I only noticed as his arms wrapped around me and then I felt the cold water.
As soon as we resurfaced I started splashing him, it didn't work very well since we were still so close to each other. I huffed and turned around to swim back to the shore and away from him but he grabbed my waist and spun me back around so that I was facing him. Our heads were inches away from each other, without thinking my arms wrapped around his neck and my hands played with his hair, while his hands locked around my waist. Our eyes were only on each other. I knew this was wrong but I don't know why it felt right at the same time. His cool lips were touching mine and soon our lips were molding together, my fingers tangled in his hair. He only broke the kiss for air and I finally realized the look that has been in his eyes, love. Ben kissed me again softly, lovingly and of course I kissed him back. I broke the kiss knowing I needed to think, while he was catching his breath I swam to the shore and ran to the house, I knew he was stunned but would still be close behind me.
"Ness, what's wrong? Where's Bennett?" Aunt Rose asked as I came running into the house soaked. I couldn't answer her.
"Renesemee?" Aunt Alice prompted.
"Renesemee Carlie Cullen, no running with wet shoes and answer your aunts. What is going on?" My mother asked.
"I can't, I just can't. I'm sorry." I answered Justas Ben got to the house.
I ran up to my room and shut the door, locking it and stripping of my wet clothes, to take a shower. I knew they were questioning him and I hoped he would not tell.
"Ben, what happened Sweetie?" Aunt Rosalie asked curiously from downstairs.
"I don't know, everything was fine and then she ran away from me. She wouldn't tell me. Where is Dad?" I heard him reply as he headed for the stairs.
"He went hunting with the boys. Why don't you talk to her, Ben?"
"Mom, I need some space to think." He replied and headed to his room. I heard his shower running and him murmuring to himself.
After my shower I dressed in sweats and a tank top, brushed through my long hair and then braided it into a French braid. I grabbed my book off the nightstand and curled up on my window seat to read and think. Okay Renesemee what if Ben does love you, what does it matter? Was it friend love or more than that? How do you feel about him? Do I feel the same? No Renesemee stop think about this, it's wrong. I tried to get my mind off of Bennett but every time I would stop thinking of him, I would end up thinking about him.
"Renesemee?" Ben's voice was heard followed by a knock on my door.
I ignored him knowing that if I answered him I would tell him everything and I didn't want him to know everything I have been feeling and thinking.
"Renesemee, can I come in? Please." He tried again and tried to open my locked door. I stayed quiet.
"Ren please." He begged using his favorite nickname for me, which I always love when he uses it.
"Ren" he whispered dejectedly and I could hear him sit down outside my room against the wall, stubborn as ever. I sighed softly and looked out my window.
I must have been sitting there for awhile because when I looked at my clock it was now 7pm. I had been sitting there for hours, which means I missed my normal dinner time.
"Renesemee, can I come in?" It was Aunt Alice this time; I knew that Ben was still on the floor outside my room.
"I guess." I said walking to the door, unlocking it. I opened the door and let her in, looking in the hallway to find Ben with his knees drawn up to his chest and his head resting on his knees, asleep. I felt really bad about ignoring him now. After closing the door I turned on my CD player and went to sit next to Aunt Alice on my bed.
"Everyone went hunting and he will be asleep for hours so tell me what's got you locked up in your room." Aunt Alice questioned.
"It's Ben. When he came back something was different between us and I didn't know what it was. He change so much and I don't know how I feel about him anymore. Then when he kissed me earlier I realized the look I saw in his eyes, it was love. I kissed him back but I knew it was wrong to kiss him, he's my cousin. I can't kiss my cousin like that. What do I do Aunt Alice?" I rambled on while she sat patiently listening.
"Renesemee, it's not wrong, he is not biologically related to you and if you are meant to be with him than everyone in this family will be happy for the two of you. As for what anyone else will think, why would it matter what they think if you're happy. Why didn't you talk to him?"
"I don't know I was scared and confused" I confessed, she smiled softly.
"I think he really cares about you, I mean he is sleeping outside your door waiting for you to talk to him. Do you like him romantically?"
I don't know Aunt Ali. He is attractive and we already are really close to each other, so things wouldn't be a problem. He is really sweet and caring." I explained confused about my feelings.
"Maybe that means you like him romantically. It's not a bad thing Sweetie." Alice told me smiling.
"So what do I do now?"I asked with a glance towards the door.
"Talk to him. Tell him what was bothering you. Ask him how he feels. I'm pretty sure he likes you Renesemee." She said with a wink.
"Ok, thank you Aunt Alice, would you mind not telling anyone about this. Just between you and I, ok?"
"Of course Sweetie, just between you and me."She got up and kissed my forehead before turning and heading out the door, shutting it behind her.
I waited a little bit before opening the door and checking to see if Ben was still sitting there, he was. I smiled to myself as I went downstairs to get a snack and then headed back up to my room. I left my bedroom door open while I did some homework and ate my snack.
"Renesemee?"Bennett asked tentatively from the door.
"Yes Bennett"
"Can we talk?" He asked, stepping inside my room and sitting on my bed.
"Ok"
"Ren, what happened earlier? Did I do something to upset you?"
"No, of course not Ben. I was scared and confused I didn't mean to run away from you. I'm sorry Ben." I said sighing.
"I thought you felt the way I did and that you wanted me to kiss you. I guess I miss understood, sorry."He said breaking our eye contact and suddenly finding his hands interesting.
"That's not what I meant. I meant that . . . I don't know. . ." I trailed off when I was met with his eyes, I leaned in and kissed him, he kissed me back. I finally pulled away so that I could breathe and also to tell him how I felt.
"Ben, I like you a lot and when we kissed earlier I didn't know what to think. I thought that it was wrong to be romantic with you when you're also my cousin. But now I don't think that anymore."
"Renesmee, I love you and I don't think it is wrong for us to be together, I think it is fate that we have always been close." He told me looking me straight into the eyes.
"I love you too Bennett." I said and then our lips met.
