Renesme POV
Something was moving beneath me as I woke up. I raised my head and opened my eyes to stare at Seth. He stopped moving and grinned nervously.
"I have to go to breakfast," he said as he shifted us up to the sitting position where I straddled him possessively. I just stared at him and smiled. He searched my face questioningly.
"I was just trying to convince myself that last night wasn't a dream," I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck warmly. He chuckled as I pulled away.
"It wasn't, I meant what I said even more today, but I really do have to run for breakfast or Esme will kill me."
I pouted, "Do you really have to?"
"Yes, I really have to." He whispered as a giant smile filled his face and he leaned closer to mine. "I could make it up to you later though." I couldn't take it. It wasn't a dream and he was really here. I leaned in and kissed him, tamely at first. He tilted his head back as I gained full entry and his tongue moved along my teeth. He pushed me closer to him with his hand on the small of my back. His lips moved down my neck as I came up for air. My whole body was tense. I pushed against his chest. He looked at me worried.
"You really have to go to breakfast, I'd hate to think of Esme having to kill you." He let out a low growl as I dismounted his lap. He stood up and towered over me as I walked him to the door. I kissed him chastely and smiled. He grabbed me into a hug. Again I took in the warmth and freshness that radiated off his body as his muscles contracted around me.
"You really are going to be late, and I don't know what you're going to tell Esme when she asks where you've been." He stared back at me.
"I'll tell her the truth: I was with the most beautiful girl in the whole world and I just couldn't bring myself to leave her for fear that she might come to realize I was just a stupid werewolf." I looked at him stoically.
"I don't think you're a stupid werewolf, and I certainly don't want you to leave because this all feels too surreal and like a perfect dream, but I'm not afraid it'll never happen again. I know it will. Soon." I replied soothingly as I kissed his cheek. " But I don't think I'm ready to tell the family yet." He looked worried still.
"Ness, I don't want to keep this a secret but I will if thats what you want. Actually I think I need to talk to your dad first. So whenever you're ready I'll be ready." I sure did pick a good one.
"Sounds good, I'll be up to the house later, run now so Esme doesn't kill my favorite werewolf." and with that Seth loped off the front porch, waving over his shoulder as he disappeared.
"That's too far away, I don't think I can wait," I heard him shout. I closed the door and slumped against it. I was in pretty deep. I thought about Jake. When was he coming back and how would he take this?
Seth POV
I ran as fast as I could to breakfast. As I approached the house I could smell the delicious pancakes. As much as it sucked to leave Nessie, pancakes were an amazing reason to have to do it. I ran in the back door straight to the kitchen. Esme just stared at me and laughed.
"Why don't you go get showered up Seth and I'll warm up the blueberries?" I ran out of the kitchen, but not before giving Esme a huge hug and swirl in the kitchen. A sudden lightness had taken over my feet and I couldn't stop smiling. Life was perfect. I showered and changed quickly and practically sprinted downstairs. Esme was just starting to set my plate down.
"This looks good!" I dug in and it was better than good, it was amazing. Esme just laughed and started cleaning up some of the pans.
"So, what's new Seth?" she asked innocently, her maternal eyes prodding deeper. I stared at her with a chunk of pancakes in my full mouth.
"Um, I don't really know. Nothing yet. I got that new guitar. I really like it. I finished all my homework, wel except for physics and I should be graduation soon." I rattled off more and more trivial facts as Esme just 'mhmm'ed' along.
"Have you heard from Jake yet?" she asked as I went to wash off my plate. I shook my head and let my eyes drop. "Don't worry, he'll come back," she whispered as she reached up and hugged me. "You smell like Nessie, did you stop by the cabin this morning?" oh crap.
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure she was doing ok," I somehow managed to lie.
"That's good. She'll be up later to spend the night. You should show her your new guitar, oh and she could probably show you some physics things." I smiled and agreed.
"You look exhausted, you can help me garden tomorrow, go get some rest"
"Ok, thanks Esme," I said as I mounted the stairs. I was tired. It was hard to sleep with Ness there. I didn't want to go asleep and the perfect moment be ruined. I flopped down on my bed and thought about the perfect night. Esme's words were the last thing that played through my mind before I fell asleep, "He'll come back."
RPOV
My morning passed in a solitude of bliss. Mom had called and checked in and I jumped in the shower. I took my time getting dressed, selecting my favorite clothes. I stood in my bra and underware in my closet for longer than I thought possible before deciding on my favorite jeans and a Forks High tshirt that had been my moms. I lounged on the couch after playing some music and tried to read. I couldn't focus on anything as my mind kept replaying every minute of last night. I still worried about Jake, but I felt at ease with what was happening. Before I knew it, the sun was setting behind the tall trees. I dragged myself up to the main house. Aunt Rosalie and Alice sat in the living room with my goofy uncles playing video games. Uncle Emmett jumped up and spread out his arms to engulf me in a hug.
"Finally the talent has arrived, you get to be on my team, Alice sucks," Uncle Emmett roared with laughter at his own joke. Aunt Alice stuck out her tongue. The games continued and I actually had fun. We let Uncle Emmett and Jasper have a grudge match as I went into the kitchen to scratch up some dinner.
"Where's Grandma and Grandpa?" I asked Aunt Rose who followed me into the kitchen.
"They went camping over in canada for the rest of the week." I started to make myself a sandwich.
"Oh," I whispered, "Where's Seth?" I tried to sound nonchalant, but Aunt Rose new better.
"He's upstairs sleeping, why so interested?"
"No reason, just wondering," I blushed and finished my sandwich. She glanced me up and down before going back into the living room. I washed up my plate and headed upstairs. Seth was passed out in his bed. He looked so cute. I didn't want to wake him. I put my hand on his and showed him our night last night and part of what I wanted to happen. He stirred a little and his eyes began to flutter. He smiled, "I was just dreaming about you, am I still? Because you look as beautiful as a dream." He pulled me across him. I rolled to get out of the bed in case someone came in.
"do you just have a set of lines you make up for every situation?" He laughed and sat up.
"Nope, but I should,"
"So the dream was good?" I asked innocently. He blushed slightly.
"Um, yeah it was very good."
"You should tell me about it" I whispered as he stood up and stretched.
"Haha, no I'd rather just keep it a mystery until later." I laughed. What a gentleman.
"I didn't know you played guitar" I said as I curiously eyed his guitar. He pulled off his shirt and I somehow forgot what I was saying. I stared at his wonderfully sculpted tan abs and chest. I gulped as I remembered how to breath and he pulled on a new shirt.
"Yeah, Edward gave it to me, I like it, it calms me." He said as he picked up a physics book. "Do you think you could help me with this? I only have a few problems."
"Only if you'll play me a song later." He hesitated.
"Deal. We better go downstairs so they don't think I've seduced you." I laughed at his joke and paused in the doorway to kiss him earnestly.
"I think it would be the other way around." He laughed as he held my hand until we got to the end of the stairs. Tonight was going to be fun.
