"You met the Cullens?" Seth asked me. No negative tone in his voice, or facial expression. Just curiousity.

I nodded my head. "Yeah."

Seth and I sat on the beach. It was beginning to become my favorite place. But, I wouldn't be able to show it, based on my incapability to tan. My skin would never be a healthy sunkissed colored, only the sickly whiteness that it already claims to be.

Seth placed his arm around my shoulder. "I'm curious. What happened?"

"I figured out that they were vampires. By putting together things that they did, and things that I've found out over the years."

Seth gave me an incredulous look. "I thought you said that you didn't believe in vampires."

I lowered my head in a sheepish way. "I didn't believe… But, I was curious."

I saw Seth give a crooked smile out the corner of my eye. I raised my head, and pushed him as hard as I could, which still only made him barely budge.

"Did Edward read your mind?" Seth asked, breaking as silence that I didn't know was formed.

"No. Um, he couldn't. It's strange. He could read everyone else's mind, except for mine and Bella's." Seth started to chuckle. "What?"

"Edward can read minds, and you think it's strange that he couldn't read yours? You should be happy. Enjoy the privacy. If you were a werewolf, everytime you would phase, you hear everyone's thoughts, and they would hear yours. There's no privacy when you're in wolf form. It sucks."

I sighed. "I have no idea, but I could imagine."

"It's harder when you have certain things on your mind, and it's hard to subside them. If the thoughts slip, then everyone can hear them. And who knows what shit I would get for letting those thoughts out."

I smirked. "I suppose these 'certain thoughts', you won't tell me."

"As of right now, no."

"In time?"

"In time," he agreed.

I snuggled deeper into Seth's chest, and closed my eyes, taking in his sweet musky scent. I exhaled the useless-to-me carbon dioxide, and relaxed as Seth started to hum.

***

I felt motion from underneath me. I ignored it, and kept my eyes closed. The feeling and shifted began to morph into what I could believe was two strong, warm arms. They held me tighter, and I could feel the gentle rocking motion of rocking.

I was being carried.

When I wanted to finally look up to see where I was, we had stopped. There was talking. It was Seth and Lily.

"She fell asleep down by the beach. I didn't want her to have to sleep in the sand, so I brought her here," I head Seth say.

"Oh. Ok. I'll take it from here. Unless you wanna take her to her room?" I could hear the smirk in her voice.

And the hesitation in Seth's. "Uh, ok. If you don't mind, I'd like to stay with her."

"Oh. I don't care."

And the rocking motion began again. Soon enough, I was laying on the softness of my comforter.

"You can open your eyes. I know you're not sleeping anymore."

With a little reluctance, I did as I was told, my eyes acting from being tired.

"Is everything ok?" I asked.

Seth stared. "I had to get you back here. Victoria's scent was traced near the beach. Sam, Embry, and Jacob ran down to tell me. Told me to take you home immediately. They don't want you or Lily to get hurt. So, Sam told me to stay with you, until the coast was clear. Or, until La Push was vampire-free."

I stared with a blank expression.

"You ok?"Seth asked.

I shook my head to gather my thoughts. "Yeah. Just… Do they know? Sam and the others, I mean. Do they know that I know?"

"Nice wording."

"Seriously."

"Yes. They know. Imprinters have to tell the pack about their imprintee. Plus, it's kinda hard to keep anything from them."

"Because of the telepathy thing?"

Seth nodded. "Yeah. They'd find out anyway. So, why not tell them, and get it over with?"

"Good point."

Seth looked directly down at me, and smiled. He sat down on my bed, wrapping me in his arms. I cuddled into his chest, and sighed with content.

"You sigh everytime you do that." So, he has noticed. I was beginning to wonder if he ever would.

"I'm sorry. Does it bother you?"

"Not as much as it probably should," he responded.

"It's just, I'm always so content around you. I love cuddling like this," I admitted.

I felt Seth smile. "I like it too." I smiled with him. "You make me happy," he whispered so lowly, I wasn't sure I was suppose to hear him. So, I stayed silent.

Seth rubbed my shoulder, and kissed my hair. My smile got bigger.

"You know, it doesn't matter what you do, you always seem to make me smile, or smile more than I already was," I mused in just above a whisper.

"You don't know how much that means to me. To hear you say that I make you happy, is like the best high ever. You have no idea."

My breath got caught in my throat. In my few years of living, in no way would I be able to ever believe that I could do that to somebody. Especially someone as wonderful as Seth.

I felt Seth shift underneath me.

"You ok?" I could sense something, but I didn't know what it was, yet.

"The pack is coming back. They're gonna want me to meet up with them. I have to go. I'll be back later," he kissed my forehead, as he got up.

"Wait, how will you get in?"

"Through the window. Leave it open." I felt hesistant to do so. "Don't worry. Victoria won't get in. You'll be safe. She can't harm you here. We won't allow it."

Before I could say more, Seth was already out of my bedroom. I stayed in my bed for another five minutes, before I even thought about getting up and opening my window.

I sat a chair by the now opened window, and waited. I was determined to wait until Seth got back, so I could see him again.

***

I awoke to the feeling of softness beneath me. My eyes shot opened, and I saw Seth pulling the blanket over my body.

"Um, hi?" I said.

Seth smiled down at me. "Hello."

"What are you doing?"

"Well, I was going to tuck you in. But, you woke up before I could get that far. How did you wake up? You were sound asleep when I was here."

"The feeling of the bed woke me up." Seth stared weirdly at me. "I'm stranger than most. Most people wake up to sounds either being turned on or off, or lights being turned on or off. I wake up to feeling. When I fall asleep somewhere, and get moved to a different spot, I'm up atleast a few minutes after I'm in the new spot."

He shook his head. "You're a strange one."

I shrugged. "That's why you love me."

"This is true."

I smiled. "I don't want to wake up," I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

I sighed. "There's no way that this is real. I'm dreaming. And when I wake up, none of this will be real. I'll be in Florida, not here in La Push. I'll be with my old friends, and not with you."

Seth wrapped an arm around my shoulders, as he slide into my bed. "Serena, if this was all a dream, I would be very upset with myself. I would hope that I was either dying or in a coma. I would never want to wake up from this dream."

"My feelings exactly."

We stayed silent in our position. I couldn't believe that this could be real.

"I fall asleep on you a lot. I'm sorry for doing so. You're just so comfortable, it's insane."

"I honestly don't mind it. You look so peaceful when you're asleep. I never want to wake you. I cherish all the time we spend together."

I smiled, feeling happy. A sigh of content escaped my lips. Seth kissed my hair. I turned to look up at him, and brought lips to his for the first time since the day he told me that he had imprinted. That was a couple days ago.

The kiss was passionate, with nothing more than our lips meeting. An intoxicating high overwhelmed me, when we broke apart.

Seth smiled, showing a row of pearly whites. I smiled as well.

"I love you, Serena."

"I love you too, Seth."
