Bonfire Part 1

One thing about living in the reservation is that the local library is never packed.

Although I hated school, I did enjoy reading and the library brought silence that my home never brings, although it is just the two of us; my mom and I; my house was always packed with family since our family owned bakery is only a good 2 blocks away from our home, everyone of our family members goes over to relax and unwind

I don't mind it.

Really.

Just, that sometimes all you wish is for some peace and quiet and not to clean up the families mess after they leave.

Sitting down in one of the old wooden chairs of La Push's library I sat down and began to read Mitch Albom's The Five People You meet in Heaven

I was completely lost into the book that I wasn't aware that Seth sat next to me until he coughed

I looked at him and smiled "May I help you" I asked arching my eyebrow putting my book down.

He smiled the same smile he used to win me over when I refused to go out with him a year ago.

"What are you doing later tonight" He asked me, while picking up my book and flipping through the pages not very interested in the book

I yanked the book out of his hands "You're going to lose my place"

"And nothing. What do you want to do?" I asked him putting a bookmark where I left off.

"There is going to be a bonfire tonight if you want to come my mom wants to see you again" Seth smiled at me, clearly happy at the excellent relationship Sue and I had

"Sure, I'll pick up some pastries from the bakery" I said then I hesitated "Is Leah going to be there?"

Although Sue and I got along fantastically, Leah did not like me at all.

When I first met Sue and Leah, Leah gave me this death glare then walked right out of the door of the Clearwater household.

Seth eyes saddened a bit before they came back to the bright happy brown eyes that I live to see every day.

"She will be there, but don't worry she won't say anything to you, I promise" Seth said with a smile on his face

I kissed him.

"Come on lets go to the bakery" I said swinging my backpack on and grabbing his hand

Seth and I walked to his red truck and of course being he gentlemen he is opened the passenger door for me

"Thank you my good sir" I dramatized in an English accent

Seth rolled his beautiful eyes at me and walked to the driver's side and his car roared to life
"So what should I bring?" I asked Seth, playing with the radio to find a decent station

Seth's voice got excited "You know I can't choose your mom is the best baker."

"Wait isn't Kim working at the bakery today?" Seth asked

Kim Conwellar is my cousin her mom and my mom are half-sisters and Kim is constantly working at the bakery and she loves it there.

"Oh yeah I'll ask her to pack some stuff up"

I got my phone and dialed the bakery

"Batter up, Carol here how may I help you?"

"Hey Mom can I talk to Kim please" I asked my mom

I heard the phone shuffle and mumbled voices

"Hey Gwyn what's up"

"Hey do you mind packing up some pastries for the bonfire tonight Seth and I are on our way to pick them up" I explained

"Sure" She replied "Do you mind if I tag along Jared is on Patrol, and I told him I would meet him there" Kim told me

"Yeah no problem we will be there in five minutes or less"

"See you then"

I then proceeded to out my phone away in a slot in my book bag

"Seth do you ever wish you never became a wearwolve"I asked him curious

Since I found out about the legends of the tribe, I have all these questions running through my mind and sometimes, in moments like these when we are in a comfortable silence I ask him some of my questions

I looked at Seth his brow furrowed with concentration once I asked the question, then he smiled

"No, I never saw becoming a wolf as something negative as most of the pack does, actually..." Seth continued his smile wider and his eyes bright and portraying so much emotion

"If it wasn't for the phasing it would have taken me longer to have meet you, and I can't bear to think of a day where I don't know who you are or a day where I can't consider you a part of my life because on the day my eyes first meet yours I can only picture you in my life there is no version where you aren't in it"

"So the answer is no" I said looking out the window trying to hide the flow of heat that rushed to my cheeks

Whenever Seth declares his love and loyalty to me I became flustered, it's almost unfair that these emotions are meant for only one person, everyone should feel the bond and the love Seth and I share.

"Now I have a question for you" Seth asked me

"You do?" I questioned staring at him grinning

He smiled "Yeah. Do you ever wish that I never have imprinted on you?"

I rolled my eyes he knows the answer to this, so I smacked him

"Well I guess that's a yes" He responded laughing a little

"The only thing I wish I can take back was the time I spent running away from you, that time could have been used to make me fall in love with you quicker" I answered him smiling to myself remembering the time I finally accepted his imprint and accepted him as my soul mate

Seth smiled wider "Yeah but you had to run away, and be afraid for no reason…." He said sarcastically

I scoffed, not letting him finish his sentence or rant "You know what" I said a little louder "I do wish you can unimprint on me" I said jokingly smiling at him

Seth laughed and parked his car in the bakery's park lot.

I got out of the truck and Seth kissed me, once he finished I stared at him my face even "That is not you unimprinting on me" I said

Seth smiled and rolled his eyes I took the moment to put both of my small hands on each side of his face and kiss him.

Seth reciprocated the kiss his hands falling on the small on my back when I stretched on my toes to make the kiss less uncomfortable since he was almost a good 2 feet taller than I was

I pulled away my face hot "Maybe we shouldn't go to the bonfire" I whispered and continued kissing him

Seth then pulled away "Always thinking of one thing aren't you"

I pushed him "Come on let's pick up the feast you and the rest of the litter is going to devour"

Once we entered the bakery are noses where bombarded with the different smells of cakes, pastries, and coffee

"Good Afternoon Mrs. Carol" Seth greeted my mother

"Hi Seth care for an cheese Danish they are fresh from the oven" She said handing him one

Seth gladly took it "Thank you" he said while taking a bite of it

"Hey mom I am going to be home late if you don't mind Seth and I are going to go to a bonfire"

"Don't worry sweetie Kim already told me, and the she is packing the pastries in the back, an Seth can you tell your mother I said hi haven't seen her in a while " My mother said while stirring something in a bowl

"Will do, and thank you so much for the pa-"Seth didn't even get to finish before my mother interrupted him

"Don't even worry about it" She said smiling

My mom absolutely adored Seth, she loved his happy disposition regardless of what life threw at him,

Kim came out of the back with four pink boxes in each hand and put them down on the counter next to the cash register

"Just let me change really fast and will be on our way to Em's house" Kim said hurrying up and running toward the workers locker area

Seth opened one of the pink boxes and was reaching for whatever pastry was inside I smacked his hand and he looked at me sheepishly

I hugged him and he hugged me back "You're so warm" I mumbled into is chest and started to hug him harder

I felt Seth hold me tighter

"I have another question" I told Seth

"When don't you" He responded

I ignored his comment and continued to ask him "Once you stop shifting will you stop being this warm?"

Seth sighed "I don't know" He responded "Let's hope not" he replied kissing the top of my head

"And I thought Jared and I showed to much PDA" I heard Kim say her voice laced with humor

"Shut it Kim, let me hug my space heater"

Seth pulled himself away grabbed my hand and we began to walk towards Seth's truck saying are goodbyes to my family.
