Chapter 12
I'll Cover You
This week went by way too quickly. I felt like I didn't even go to school, or my classes, or back home again. It was just a blur. So the weekend is here again…I don't know why, but Seth wants me to meet the…Cullens. I'm a little nervous because they are vampires, but Seth told me that he wouldn't let anything happen to me. And Jacob is coming with us; I guess it's because of that Renesmee girl he imprinted on. So I am excited to finally see her, but still scared to be in the same room with a bunch of blood sucking vampires…
I need to watch a good musical…

"Hello Sadie," I walked down the staircase and passed the little black cat my mother brought home. She told me that the cat had been brought to the shelter because she was abused by her old owners… sounds familiar…and my mother has wanted a pet for so long. She knew I was afraid of dogs and when she found Sadie she felt a connection with her or something. I had to laugh because I immediately thought of me and Seth…oops….
But I've grown fond of her and named her Sadie because I thought it was unique and different.
I ran my fingers through her fur once and then I walked into the living room and planted myself onto the couch. I sat there for a couple of minutes, just listening to the rain hit the windows and staring at the blank TV in front of me.
I heard footsteps coming into the room and I slightly turned my head to see what my mother was doing.
"Ness, I need to go to the grocery store. I should be back soon," she came into the room and kissed the top of my head.
"Bye, mom," I said.
Her footsteps went towards the door and for a couple seconds I could hear the rain better. I sighed as she closed the door and Sadie jumped up onto the couch, curling up next to me.
"Do you think the vampires will eat me, Sadie?" I scratched behind her left ear and she purred, "That doesn't help me much."
My house was completely empty. I told Seth to go home last night because he was constantly watching over me and not sleeping. And supposedly werewolves need more sleep than humans so he was probably and hopefully sleeping in.
"We should watch a movie," I said to Sadie…well she was basically asleep so it was more to myself. I groaned and hesitantly got up off of the couch to grab a movie from the DVD rack. I ran my fingers up and down the DVDs and searched for one.
"No, no, no," I went through each one, "No, no, no…" one of the movies, one of my favorites too, caught my eye, "Yes!"
I grabbed it out of its place and hurried over to the TV again. My eyes scanned over the cover for a moment and then I slipped it into the DVD player. Sadie meowed once, "Shh!" I put my finger over my mouth and wrapped a blanket around myself as I waited for my movie to begin.
Sadie stared up at me with curious eyes, "It's Rent, Sadie. One of the best musicals alive," I turned my attention back to the movie and got excited when the music started playing. I'm such a rent-head…
***
About half way through the movie my throat started to hurt because of all the singing I was doing. Even though I wasn't any good at it I still sang because no one was around to hear it. I got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen.
"We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe, and save from devastation our brains," I sang as I opened up the refrigerator and took out a water bottle, "We'll pack up all our stuff and fly so far away. Devote ourselves to projects that sell."
I walked back into the living room…well it was more like danced, but in a weird uncoordinated way. My eyes were half way closed so I wasn't paying attention as to where I was going. I suddenly felt myself bump into something and nearly tripped over it. But someone's hands were on my arm before I could reach the ground. I looked up, knowing who it was, but hoping that it wasn't him right now when I was acting weird. His dark eyes were staring down at me, he looked confused.
"Did you see that?" I asked, looking back at the kitchen.
He half smiled and nodded. I groaned and started to blush.
"Please don't tell anyone…"
"I would never," he pulled me up and tried to hide his laughter by coughing. I stared down at the floor in embarrassment. His warm finger lifted my chin up and he forced me to look at him, "I thought it was cute," he kissed my forehead and I grinned.
Suddenly, I heard music come on again and I gasped, trying to tug Seth over to the couch.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked as I tried and tried to make him move.
"One of my favorite songs is on," I laughed as he remained unmoved, "Please," I pouted my lower lip and gave him the puppy dog eyes. He tried to resist by not looking at me, but he couldn't so he sighed in defeat and sat down onto the couch, opening his arms so I could sit in them. I quickly hurried over and planted myself in his lap. He stared at me instead of the TV and watched as I hummed to the music.
I rested my head on his chest and listened to the song.
Just slip me on, I'll be your blanket. Wherever whatever I'll be your coat
I looked up at Seth.
You'll be my king and I'll be your castle
No, you'll be my queen and I'll be your moat
the lyrics made me think of him and how much I cared for him and loved him. He laughed and shook his head at the movie. Then I turned my attention back to the screen staring at Collins and Angel,
I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love.
Now I know you can rent it, a new lease you are my love
I slipped my hand through Seth's,
On life, all my life.
I watched Seth as he watched the TV, expressionless. His dark eyes were filled with meaning, but I didn't know what that meaning was. Then he looked down at me and pressed both of our foreheads together as the song rolled through our ears.
With a thousand sweet kisses, if you're cold and you're lonely, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, you've got one nickel only, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, when you're worn out and tired, I'll cover you,
With a thousand sweet kisses, when your heart has expired, I'll cover you,
Oh lover, I'll cover you
Yeah
Oh lover, I'll cover you….
I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine and he opened his mouth to speak, "With a thousand sweet kisses, I'll cover you," he said softly yet clearly. Then our lips touched and he kissed me fiercely and forcefully, but not too forcefully. His hot lips made me sweat and I could feel the blood rushing to my face, but I didn't care. I was too into the kiss to care. He put his hand on my back and pushed me closer to him so both of our chests were touching now. I felt myself run out of breath, but I didn't want to stop. I locked my fingers in his hair so he wouldn't pull away. But when I gasped for air and pulled away immediately, my fingers didn't even affect him one bit.
"Did I hurt you?" he asked, breathing heavily.
"No…not at all," I smiled and put my hand on his warm cheek, "You could never hurt me, Seth," I whispered.
I could hear Sadie hissing from behind me and I rolled my eyes, "Not now, Sadie."
Seth smiled at me and rubbed my back with the palm of his hand. I could hear Sadie move from her place and Seth flinched a little. He growled at her and was no longer paying attention to me. I sighed and moved away from him, realizing that he got bit by Sadie. Knowing that he would heal fast I didn't react to this, I just sat back and waited for their little temper tantrum to be over with. Both of them just glared at each other, it was more like a death stare.
"Seth, can you please restrain yourself from killing my cat. I'm pretty sure my mother wouldn't like to see cat bits all over the place when she gets home."
He relaxed his muscles and looked at me, but Sadie was still tensed up. A sigh escaped from my mouth.
"I'll make her food so that she'll get distracted," I got up from the couch, paused the movie, and headed for the kitchen, "Come on, Sadie," I called.
Her collar jingled as she followed me into the kitchen. I quickly took out her food bowl and her dry food while humming the tune to I'll Cover You. Sadie sat patiently next to me, staring at every movement I made. When I finished mixing up the food I placed it down on the floor where she usually ate and quickly hurried back into the living room.
Seth opened his arms for me to sit in them again and I nestled myself into his lap. He pressed the play button on the remote for me and took both of my hands in his as we watched the next part of the movie together…
***
We reached the saddest part of the movie…when Angel, one of my favorite characters, dies. I cried at this part both because I could never imagine losing someone I loved so suddenly and because now it hit me harder more than it ever did. I knew the reason was Seth because I loved him and I didn't want to ever have to think about what I would do without him.
The I'll Cover You Reprise song came on. The music in itself made me want to cry because of the lyrics. Especially the line when your heart has expired. It is one of the saddest lines to me.
I felt tears starting to come out of the corner of my eyes and I quickly wiped them away, a little embarrassed because Seth might think I was overreacting. But when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in closer to his chest to let me cry I knew he understood why I was acting this way.
He kissed the top of my head a couple of times and let me soak his shirt with my salty tears. I felt bad about ruining his perfectly clean shirt, but he wouldn't let me pull away. I didn't want to pull away either…
***
When we reached the ending scene of the movie I got nervous again about meeting the Cullens. Maybe Seth forgot about it and we didn't have to go…but who am I kidding…he doesn't really forget things that easily…
There is no future
There is no past
Thank God this
Moment's not the last
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or
Life is yours to miss
No other road no other way
No day but today
I sighed and started to trace patterns on Seth's arm. He seemed to be watching the movie more now, maybe he liked it.
I looked up at his face and opened my mouth to say something.
"So…" I said.
He looked down at me and smiled, "So."
"Am I really going to meet the vampires today?" I asked.
"You mean the Cullens."
I rolled my eyes, "Sure, whatever."
The movie finally ended and I got up and turned off the DVD. I turned around and crossed my arms over my chest. He sat there staring at me with a half smile. I tried not to melt and get all soft now because I really didn't want to meet a bunch of vampires that could kill me in a matter of two seconds, but it was really hard to resist that smile. I tapped my foot on the wood floor and waited for his response.
"You don't want to meet them?" he said, breaking the silence.
I sighed, "It's not so much that I don't want to meet them," I walked over to the couch again and sat next to him, "It's the fact that they could…kill me…"
He turned towards me and placed both of his hands on my cheeks, staring into my eyes, "They will not kill you, Ness or even touch you for that matter. I won't let them."
I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I love you, don't ever forget that," he kissed my collarbone.
"I won't," I whispered in his ear.
His woodsy scent lingered through my nose and made me feel calmer. I knew that there was no way in predicting how today would go. But I had Seth and Jacob, two huge werewolves. So, it would be ok…I mean the vampires wouldn't try to hurt us. It was the doctor's family and he was nice, so there shouldn't be a problem. Nothing bad will happen…no it will be fine…
Ok now I'm just getting too nervous about this whole situation…
So...what did you think??
i hope you are all excited to see what happens next when Vanessa meets the Cullens
and a little question for all of you...
What do you think will happen when Vanessa sees that Jasper is a part of the Cullen clan??? since he did try to kill her how do you think she will react??
