I got my heartbroken yesterday by a man who had been my love on and off for 8 years , and i wanted to throw the happy couple (Seth and Eliza) out the window but i have written the chapter as i promised, and i hope you like it, if you have any suggestions or direction i welome it :)

I don't own any characters, that would be Stephenie Meyer, however i do own Eliza and Madison Brooks and Ashley Matthews

I followed Madi and Ashley through the front door of the two storey white house that belonged to Sue Clearwater putting our handbags and winter coats on one of the many coat hooks. We walked down the hallway that opened up into the lounge room, where the party was already in full swing.

Leah was the first to notice our presence, who pointed Ashley in the direction of Collin. Whilst Leah was doing this I skimmed the room looking for the cheeky grin.

"He isn't here" Leah whispered into my ear

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Trying to play innocence

"Ha, could have fooled me, he had to go get more soda"

Leah went off to go help Sue in the kitchen, Madi and I went to the dining room table that was situated in front of a double gazed door, that I assumed backed onto the backyard the table had plates and platters of food. The food was delicious; Emily and Sue were fabulous cooks. Rachel and Kim walked up to me and Madi and started chatting away like we were old friends. Apparently the plan for tomorrow was a huge Christmas lunch at Emily's house and then a gathering at the Cullen's house in the evening, the Cullen family lived on the outskirts of Forks, I was invited to both, unfortunately I could not attend Christmas lunch because I had my own Christmas lunch plans, Emily sais she would arrange for Seth to come pick me up and take me to the gathering at the Cullen's.

I was to busy talking with Kim and Rachel, that I was not aware that Seth had returned from his soda mission and had sauntered up to me and placed his lips near my ear.

"Santa got my letter" He whispered, his voice husky and laced with want and need

I saw Rachel and Kim giggle and retreat to Paul and Jared. I turned to face and embrace myself from the man who would be the death of me.

"Is that so?.....and what did you request from Santa?" I crossed my arms over my chest and tried my best to glare at him, knowing it would fail

Seth leaned forward and pressed his forehead to mine, I could feel the heat radiating from him which was quiet warm, yet it was comforting. "I asked for you" A series tone escaping from his lips.

"You only get what you ask for if you have been a good boy"

"Oh but I have" Seth laced his arms around my back, his forehead still pressed against mine

"I beg to differ"

I ducked under his arms and walked to offer my help to Sue in the kitchen, Seth did not follow, and I saw that he walked over to Sam and Jake.

Along with Leah, I grabbed some platters and offered them to the people in the living and dining area, the boys I noticed grabbed at least 4 or 5 of each entrée, whilst taking quick glances at Seth, I approved of his clothing attire, Brown dress shoes, with well fitted dark jeans, he wore a light blue sweater, with a white t-shirt underneath, the epitome of sexy. When I reached Seth, Sam and Jake, Seth smiled politely took a napkin and some food, said thank you and that was it, no smart remarks, no wink, but he did give me a cheeky grin, which sent my heart a flutter.

What Leah and I were serving were entrées, the main meals were yet to come. When I had walked back into the kitchen with the empty platters, I saw that Seth, Sam and Jake had cleared the dining room table and positioned it in the middle of the lounge room and had started to put chairs around the table. I saw that Sue had opened the oven door and saw two massive Turkeys that had been baking, simultaneously I saw Emily and Sam carry roasted Chicken on plates, followed my Jared, Paul and Collin who were each carrying either a Turkey or Chicken.

Leah then started grabbing salads and spreads from the fridge and also from a corner on the kitchen bench and started passing them to Rachel, Kim and myself. Plates, cutlery and napkins were passed to Ashley, Madi and Charlie. The table was set in minutes; I was looking at the atmosphere when I felt a warm hand slide into mine, one that fitted nice and cozy into this warm palm.

"Your sitting next to me"

"Is that a command"

"Not exactly, think of it more as a request"

"Well then I think it would be rude of me to turn down your request"

I followed Seth to sit at the table, Ashley and Collin were sitting opposite me and Madi who had made friends with Nessie was sitting with her and Jake at the other end of the table, once everyone was seated, all the guys looked liked they were foaming at the mouth, I turned to Seth it looked he was trying hard to contain himself. Apparently the rule was, all the women were to serve themselves first, and once that was done it was everyman for themselves. The men made fast work of the remaining plates of food. I thought I heard growling and I even heard Paul and Jake fight over the last chicken drumstick.

The atmosphere was wonderful and warm, I had noticed that all the men in the room were quite warm, however I had no answer for it. Instead I focused on the now and what was happening around me. I ate slowly savoring every mouthful of yummy food, I was also aware of the large warm hand that had found its way to my thigh, I had only known Seth for around 24 hours and this position felt natural and comfortable.

Seth looked like he had eaten for 5 people and still looked hungry. After the main meal food had been polished off and removed dessert was bought out, plate up on plate of plum pudding, Christmas cake and tarts were bought out and again the women were allowed first serving, and again the men made easy work of the dessert.

I helped clear the plates whilst some of the guys cleared the chairs to the outskirts of the room and moved the table into the dining room. I helped Leah and Kim wash and dry and when we had finished I turned around to the groups of people that were talking, yet I could not find Seth.

"Do you know where Seth is?" I asked Leah

"No idea where he is" A smile playing on her lips, I felt lost not really sure what to do.

I found Ashley and Madi standing with Collin, Brady and Charlie, we stood there for a few minutes and then I saw Seth walk from the hallway out into the lounge room, his eyes locked on mine, I gave him a small smile and he walked over to us, sliding his arm around my waist.

"Where did you go to?"

"Missed me did you?" Grinning down at me

"Hmmm, something like that"

"Just had to run some things back to Sam and Emily's house"

Seth looked hard at Collin, as if he was trying get Collin to read his mind, for a few minutes they looked at each other and then it was as if a light bulb lit in Collins brain.

"You know what, why don't we go outside and see the Christmas lights" Collin called over the groups of chatter

Collin grabbed Ashley's hand and the rest of them followed outside, I took Seth's hand and started to follow everyone else, but was pulled back slightly, due to the anchor that was Seth.

"Aren't we going to go see the Christmas Lights?"

"No yet….Do you not remember what I told you last night?"

"Refresh my memory"

"I promised you I would be standing under the mistletoe" Seth looked up

Hanging on the ceiling was some a sprig of fresh mistletoe

"So you did"

Seth took his hands on mine and look at me as if he was trying to communicate something with his eyes, his eyes looked intense but I did not want to look away from them.

"May I?" Was he asking to kiss me, all I could do was nod

Seth leaned his head down while I slightly tilted my chin up; he barely touched my lips, but the heat and want radiated from his soft and inviting lips, all of a sudden I wanted to loose myself in Seth, to feel his firm chest against me, to feel his soft, inviting lips on mine. I involuntarily reached my arms to wrap around his neck, to move myself closer to him, that was all the encouragement Seth needed before he captured his lips with mine.

I had definitely had gone over the edge of sanity when I touched Seth's lips, he dragged his tongue across my bottom lip and then began to nibble on it, I suddenly felt his tongue demand access from my closed lips, which I granted him without hesitation. Seth had began drawing slow circles along my lower back, all these wonderful sensations caused me to give an involuntary moan, which seemed to please Seth as he smiled against my lips. All too soon the kiss ended, my mind foggy and I had no idea what to do, especially when you just received the kiss which would cause butterflies to flutter in your stomach every time you thought about it.

"Wow" He whispered, still drawing circles on my back

"My thoughts exactly" As I slid my hands down his arms, and felt the tight muscles that were his arms

I heard running foot steps come from the hallway, breaking the moment that Seth and I shared.

"We have to go its 10:30"

"Ok Madi, ill be out in a second" Madi gave me a sympathetic smile and walked back towards the front entrance

"Great, we get a few minutes of joy and now you have to leave me" Sadness filled his eyes

"Ill be seeing you tomorrow…actually Emily says that you are picking me up tomorrow to take me to some gathering, at the um Cullen's house"

"Yeah, ill pick you up around 6:30, I am sure that Ashley will becoming, but bring Madi she seems to get along well with everyone"

I reluctantly grabbed my winter coat and handbag off the hook in the hallway and slipped my hand into Seth's as we walked down the front steps of his house to the group that were looking at the Clearwater's Christmas lights. I took a few minutes to look at the wonderful light display.

"I did most of the work, with a little help from Leah" Leah must have heard and glared at Seth

"Ok maybe half and half" That earned Seth and appreciative smile from Leah

Seth and Collin walked us to my car, Seth and I bid farewell with a chaste kiss on the lips, yet it was not satisfying for neither of us I could tell that neither Collin nor Ashley did not want to say goodbye. We all got in the car and drove off; I could see in my rearview mirror that the two guys still stood on the middle of the road watching us drive off.

I felt sad the whole way home, my headache erupting, all I wanted to do was drive back and dive into Seth's comforting arms.

I was falling head over heels in love with Seth Clearwater.
