Chapter 5

Rose

"Just make sure you're back here unharmed," Emmett said.

"Will you relax Cullen?" Seth said as he made his way towards us once we got closer. "She'll be fine."

I looked over at them as I tried to suppress my urge to roll my eyes. I do find this ridiculous, but as long as they're on the somewhat same team to stop Victoria, then we'll get along fine.

"Be here by seven, okay?"

"Okay Dad," I replied sarcastically.

I looked up at him and kissed him on the lips. As I walked away, I felt Emmett's hand on mine as he pulled back and kissed me almost hard. I could've sworn that Seth was rolling his eyes too. Soon after that, he went into his car and left.

"Did he really have to do that? Because if you ask me, it's like he's possessive or over you," he said.

I ignored what he said as we walked towards the reservation. We only made small talk but I think for now it was best for the quiet to be in the air between us. I mean, it's been almost a week since we've seen each other and look how that ended.

We got to his house and he had to run inside to get a few things before we decided to head back to First Beach. As we were walking before, I couldn't help but notice someone watching us. He stood tall, taller than me that's for sure and Seth and his expression was a blank one. He also had short hair like the pack's but I wondered if he ever associated with them.

"Everything okay?" Seth asked.

"Yep, just fine," I replied. "Where's your Mom and Leah?"

"Leah's somewhere on the reservation and Mom had to go over to Billy Black's place," he said.

"So how are things?" I asked.

"Eh, same crap different day," he said.

I nodded and the silence commences again. I didn't know what to say or do. I mean, I've been in his house a few times but it was only for a few minutes. Now that I'm here and everything's changed, it has a different vibe to it. I can't really explain but it's something that I wasn't used too yet.

"You know, talking does help the silence," Seth said.

"Sorry I just have a lot on my mind with finals," I lied.

"Rose while that may be the case, I know when you're lying," he said.

"Okay fine maybe I'm worried about that but I'm also worried about us," I said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't pretend like you don't know. I'm talking about our little spat from the other day," I replied. "Look I know you don't like what Emmett and his family did but whatever is going on between you guys; just let it go. We have more important matters to worry about."

"You don't get it, do you?" he asked, desperately.

"No I get it, you guys are acting like two four year old boys who keeps fighting over the last swing on the playground," I snapped.

Seth walked over towards where I was sitting and sat down next to me on the couch. There was something different about him today from the other day that I wasn't sure what to make of.

"Rosie, there's something I need to tell you," he said.

Oh god.

"I think I'm-"

The door opened and Leah walks in. She looked between me and Seth with a confused look but her eyes went a little wide.

"Oh my god, you were going to tell her weren't you?" she asked.

"What is she talking about?" I asked.

"Leah shut it," Seth warned.

"Why should I? I had to listen to you complain and bitch about your girl problems the past few months that I think you should just man up and say it," Leah said.

"Aw, you like someone?" I said excitedly.

"Well yeah," he said.

"Why didn't you say so? You did look a little nervous I'll admit that but you should've told me," I said.

"It's not exactly the same way as telling someone who they like," he said.

"Maybe I can talk some sense into her," I offered. "Or would you like the second option of tell her yourself?"

"I better say it now," he said.

Well I wasn't expecting that. "Um, okay," I said.

"Rosie, I like you," he said.

"I like you too Seth," I said, rolling my eyes. "Are we going to get going or what?"

"No Rose, you don't get it," he said. "I like you as more than friends."

"Huh?" I asked.

"Well this is a little bit awkward, I'm out," Leah said, going upstairs.

I stared at him in shock. What the hell was I supposed to say? Never in my life have I had someone just flat out confessed their feelings to me. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to hurt his feelings but I'm in love with Emmett. At least, I think I am. I never knew that Seth was so good looking up until he had started to phase into a wolf and I didn't know then.

"Seth, are you sure this doesn't have to do with what happened…"

"Trust me Rosie, whatever happened the past few months, it's in the past. With everything happening, it's making me realize that us being together brought out the best in me and I've seen you return to your old self after what you been through," he said.

"So you want me to be with you instead of Emmett?" I asked incredulously.

"Come on Rosie, you don't expect to be with him forever? What if he takes up and leaves you again like the last time?" he asked.

"Don't even go there. I know damn well where this is going and it's not going to happen," I said, standing up.

I walked out of the house and down the path which leads to the treaty line. I needed to get away. I hope this was some messed up dream and I would wake up with everything being fine. I heard footsteps behind me not a second later and it was no surprise that it was Seth catching up to me.

"Rosie.."

"No. Don't." I said sternly.

"Just let me explain…"

"Oh so now I'm going have to listen to you giving me reasons as to why I should dump Emmett? Is that it?" I asked.

"No, not at all," he replied.

"You got to realize that this is all new to me. I don't even know what to say," she said.

"Well, clearly what you're doing is showing me how you exactly feel," Seth snapped.

"What am I supposed to do? Say I love you too? It doesn't work that way. I just hope that you don't turn out to be one of those psychopath murderers who goes around killing people," I said.

He took two steps and he was in front of me. His eyes look intense but showed some love in there also I think. The next thing I knew, he put his hands on my face and pressed his lips on to mine. I stood there; shell shocked at what was going on.

My eyes started to flutter as I gave into the kiss. I got to admit though this kiss felt so different than any other kiss I've ever had. I couldn't even compared this kiss to Emmett when he kiss me. I guess this feels different because Emmett was always cautious. I don't know anymore.

We pulled away and just stared at each other. It was silent before we said anything.

"Tell me your bloodsucker hasn't kissed you like that," he said.

"Well… not really," I said.

"Then come on, let's go back and hangout," he said.

"Are we going to forget what just happened?" I asked skeptically.

"For now, yes," he replied.

He took a hold of my hand and led me back to the reservation. All in my mind was replaying that kiss and the confession.

A/n: I know I promised an update awhile back, but I got sick and my social life is taken over this summer. I will update before my cousin's wedding. That's my goal.

What will Emmett think of their kiss? Will he ever know? You'll find out soon enough!

Leave a review! I know I suck at updating lately but I'm trying to get that back on track since I have a story being wrapped up so hopefully I'll have enough time for this.

You guys rock as always and I thank you guys for your patience and support!

Until then,
Spike
