Heres the next chapter, hope you enjoy.
(Kat'sPOV)
There he was. He looked like a god. He was leaning across from the door. It felt like a billion butterflies were going crazy in my stomach. And I wanted to turn around and run. But I wanted to stay, to see him and to touch him, to talk to him, to kiss him...
When he saw me he gave me a small shy smile.
I returned it, just as shy if not more.
When I reached him he took my hand and kissed it again while staring straight into my eyes.
Boy am I thankful I can't blush. But I did bite my lip and try to duck my head.
I heard him give a small laugh. I looked up and fake pouted.
He brought one hand to my lips. I almost sucked in a breath instead I stopped altogether. He grazed his index finger across my bottom lip and pulled the end up. He did the same with the other side.
The whole time I kept still, even though I felt like melting and wishing his finger were his lips. I never let my eyes leave his face.
He looked back into my eyes and said "There. But its still as beautiful... hmmm, maybe more. It's hard to tell."
I grinned widely and tried to look away, but his hand caught my chin. My breathing stopped again.
He didn't say anything till I looked him in the eyes. "Don't be so shy. You truly are beautiful."
This time I just looked into his eyes, believing his words because they felt genuinely true.
"Thank you." I said in a small voice, with a smile.
He smiled back. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yes." I replied shyly.
He smiled again and we walked hand in had until we were outside.
When a thought struck me. "Do you drive here?"
"No. I run, but I make sure it seems like I walk."
"Well thats good, it means we can take my car." I smiled.
"Yes, but will you let me drive it?" He looked at me faking seriousness.
"Hmmm." I pretended to contemplate, looking really serious and kept walking to the car, Connor following right behind me.
When we reached the car I heard a long whistle from Connor behind me.
"Thanks." I said smiling. I walked over to him and handed him the keys. But he walked over to the passengers side and held open the door for me.
I gave him a shy smile and said a soft, "Thank you." I'm pretty sure he had a big grin on his face.
He went around the side of the car and got into the driver's side. He looked a bit neverous.
"Whats up? You look shaken." I asked as he pulled the car out of the space and onto the street.
"Well, I don't drive allot or go to places with other women." He said quickly and shyly.
I smiled. Thats so sweet, he nervous about going somewhere with me. And I like that he said 'women' instead of 'girls'. But I don't want to make him feel weird even though I've never been on a date before either.
"Really? When was the last time you've driven a car?" I asked truly curious.
He looked at me shyly. I think for getting off the women subject and onto the driving one. Maybe he was even a little nervous about the driving.
"Well… a while. Just a few years." He focused on the road the whole time he was talking.
I looked at him in disbelief. "Really?"
He kept looking at the road. "Yes."
"Wow."
"What? Is it so odd that a vampire isn't driving a car?"
"A little."
He looked at me with his eyebrows raised, but then quickly looked back at the road.
I laughed. "Your very on edge right now aren't you?"
"Like I said, I haven't driven in a really long time and I'm a little nervous."
I'm pretty sure it wasn't the car, maybe it was that me and him were going somewhere together. Alone. Me and him. Him and me. A really really sweet cute great guy and me were going to be alone together.
That was a wake up call. My nerves just flushed back into my body and I felt terrified. I've never really had an interest in a guy before. I guess it never crossed my mind. And I have no idea how to act around a guy. My brother and uncles were my family and Connor was someone I might be in love with, in love with.
Oh man, I can't believe I said yes to Connor straight out like that!
AH! I didn't even tell anyone! Oh crap! Dad is goanna be so pist!
Wait, maybe Aunt Alice saw this and told everyone before hand. Gosh I hope so. Some of my family might take it calmly but I'm not sure about Daddy or Haiden.
I didn't even notice where we were. But I felt the car going pretty fast.
I pulled away from my thoughts and took a look around.
Marsh. Marsh, cattails, refineries and a straight away road.
Hmmm.
"Where are we going?" I asked. Where is he taking me? I know for a fact he's not dangerous. He can't be. I would be able to tell, I know I would.
He smiled at me, a sweet smile. "You'll see when we get there. We're very close."
"You know for a guy who hasn't driven a car in years your driving pretty fast." I smirked.
He shrugged, "I'm a tad excited. Nothing wrong with that."
I smiled triumphantly to myself. He was nervous. I think maybe it was because of me. I know for a fact that he made me nervous. He made me more than that really.
I dropped my smile quickly before he could see it.
"So are we basically there?" I asked looking at him
He grinned. "More like, we are here."
It hit me that the car had stopped. I took one last look at his face to see where we were.
Even though I was in the car I could smell the sent of the salt in the wind. The tan brushes looked like they went on forever and the waves were braking high and fast.
I took my shoes off before I got out of the car.
I looked up and my door was already open. Connor was standing there with another shy smile on his face. I looked at him with a thank you smile. He held his hand out for me and I took it. But I didn't step out of the car yet.
I wanted to savor this. I have been on allot of beaches before but there was something about this one. It just felt so meaningful and special. Maybe it was the flow and energy of everything that went into my body or maybe it was because Connor brought me here.
I placed my foot on the wonderful sandy surface and felt like I could feel the world.
I let my other one down and closed my eyes and let the flow of energy through me. It was like I could see everything through the ground, and see past the entire ocean to the next beach or shore.
Connor led me away from the car and onto more of the beach. I decided to open my eyes so I could see more.
The waves were thrashing layers of chocolate milk. The sent in the air was pure salt water and open air. My mind was so open and so clear.
I looked up at Connor. "This is so beautiful."
"I thought you might like it. I came here a week after I came to Port Arthur. It just made me feel so peaceful and calm. Everything just felt better here." He had such a serine look on his face. I understood exactly what he meant.
I looked at the water. It was like chocolate milk wafting over each other in crashing waves. Going higher and higher and then falling over and pushing to the shore. It looked like the waves could pull you under and sweep you away without even realizing it or just slowly rock you back and forth in place with a calm strength.
I just felt like running into the water and letting myself fall under it.
"Can we go in?" I asked without looking at Connor.
"Wha? Um… I uh guess so. If you want to?" He sounded nervous.
Somehow being out here cleared my mind enough not to think about my actions, because I just started walking toward the ocean.
I let my right foot touch the last traces of a wave. My toes touching the bubbles. Then went my left foot, it was washed over with water and threw itself over my right foot. I could feel the wet sand trying to pull me down. I kept walking in deeper and letting my ankles get wet. I kept going to my calves and a bit higher. The edge of my skirt getting wet.
I let my fingers skim on top of the water, then I put my wrist in and felt the texture of the water. How my hand just went through the glassy water like a brush to a waterfall.
Then I felt the need to just plummet into the water.
Okay here comes the crazy part. I ran my hand through the water one more time and pulled them both to the hem of my shirt and pulled up and off my head. I made sure to keep it away from the water and tossed over my shoulder onto the shore without looking back.
I was in my brown laced bra but I still kept my skirt on.
I put my hands together in a prayer and pushed myself into the wave. My whole body was taken and submerged in the water. I felt the water brush my hair and glide down my body. I kicked my feet and shot forward. I felt my shirt cling to me as I went farther and then pop out like it had fifty petite coats underneath and then flow and glide around me.
After a few seconds, which felt like hours, I pushed down on the sandy floor and came out of the water. I whipped my hair around and looked to the shore.
Connor was looking at me in surprise with big eyes. Which made me look down and realize that I was in my bra.
I dropped down into the water and Connor looked away.
I took my chance and ran to the shore where my shirt was. I threw it over my head and went to where the waves could almost touch me.
