The days seemed to draw closer and closer to Bella and Edward's wedding. "Paul's still trying to keep me away from Jasper, but it's getting harder and harder to stay away" Renia thought, frustrated. "Renia do you want to hang out this weekend, maybe catch a movie?" Paul was saying was driving the car on the way back from the mall. "Hmm…Well Paul we already hung out like about a week ago and we saw each other last night. So right now I kind of want some time for myself, you know?" she turned to look at him and his eyes were concentrated on the road. They finally made it back to reservation and Paul pulled into Renia's driveway. Before she could even put her hand on the door handle, Paul was already holding the door open, and Renia sighed. "Thank you Paul" she muttered, "I'll see you later."
Not even waiting for a response, Renia ran as fast as she could, trying to shake off the dreadful feeling that was running through her system. She slowed to a brisk walk, stopping by the beautiful lake a little ways away from their house. The sun was just beginning to set on the horizon, splashing colors of red, orange, and pink on the crystal water. The wind blew a cool breeze against her skin, and the air was warm and subtle, the perfect scenery…
"It's nice to see you again ma'am" a familiar voice spoke behind her. Renia rose into a standing position and turned to be face to face with Jasper. The golden god smirked, and gestured to the grassy hill behind her, "may I join you?" he questioned. She nodded quietly and he took a seat beside her. She kicked off her shoes and socks and dipped her feet daintily in the cool water.
"You know he can't make you happy like I can" Jasper said after awhile. There was a hint of sadness in his voice, and Renia couldn't bring herself to look at him. He tried to meet her gaze but she refused, and he slowly moved closer to her petite frame. Tremors racked her body as his cold breath once again washed over her face. He brushed cool lips against the juncture where throat met collarbone and Renia breathed in and out shakily. "I don't even think he would try to do this or even ask you this." He placed his hand on her warming cheek, slowly turning her face towards his. Renia could feel all the blood rushing to her face, as she met his golden brown eyes. They seemed to glow in the dimming light of the sunset, the rays bouncing off his golden orbs. "Would you mind going with me to dinner Renia?" her named rolled off his tongue like the finest silk and she felt cherished. "I" she choked. "Please, just let me show you what it's like to feel and touch me again. I promise you won't regret it" he placed her hand over his once beating her, and a sudden feeling came over her. Her mind rummaged around, trying to grasp the memories. Trying to figure why she felt as if she knew him from somewhere….
"O-Ok….Fine" Renia said, her voice laced with uncertainty. Jasper smiled at her answer and slowly leaned in towards her inviting lips. The kiss was gentle, slow and rough, and Renia couldn't help but feel special. She leaned into the kiss and after a moment they broke away.
"I haven't kissed you in so long" he murmured, "I'm afraid I forgot how it felt. But I should tell you that my dreams give you no justice" he stroked her cheek, and Renia felt strange.
"You look beautiful as ever" he murmured against her neck. "Jas" she giggled, running her hands through his blonde hair, "you make me blush." He smiled cooly, and leaned in to kiss her once more.
She gasped at the ever clear memory in her head. Jasper looked at her in shock, as she touched a spot on her neck.
"Y-You kissed me there once…" she whispered. "I was in a long dress and we were…." She closed her eyes as the blood began to pound in her eardrums. She closed her eyes, the memory flickering behind her eyelids.
"I-I'm sorry Jasper. But I have to get going" she rose up on shaky feet and bolted through the trees to her home.
As she lay in bed later that night Renia couldn't help but to replay that memory over and over again in her mind….
