Ashley POV

Monday

I don't know why I was here. School meant nothing to me. It was a congregation of stupid people who did/taught stupid things. There was nothing cool, amazing, or awesome at school that was worth my time. So why was here? Mommy was left to be entertained by Josh in La Push (I so did NOT want to think about what that meant) I mean…I don't think about school. You could say I had other things on my mind over weekend what with the imprinting fiasco, Mommy coming over, the fight between Edward and Seth, and everything that lead up to…

So excuse me, if I didn't do my Algebra homework!

I was still grumbling about it when Seth met me in the hall after class. "What's wrong?" he asked me, his hand immediately tightening around mine. The heat of his skin enveloped my fingers and spread like wild fire up my arm as he pulled me closer. I sighed and melted into him.

"I forgot to do my homework, and apparently that makes me Forks own personal Hitler." I growled. Seth laughed beside me, and responded my releasing my hand and wrapping his arm around me, holding me tightly. This was the only good thing about school. I could be near Seth without craziness of wolves, vampires, and an overprotective Mommy. But that is IT! Nothing else is worth coming to school!

"I was thinking…" Seth started as we neared the cafeteria. "…I haven't taken you on a date in a while." I felt a smile grow on my face at the memory of our first (and only) date.

It has been three days since Seth kissed me in La Push. Three days of him meeting me in the hallway after class and walking me to the next. Three days of him sitting close to me at lunch, his arm almost flush against mine. Three days of him staring at me as if I were the most important thing in his world.

And in these three days… we have not kissed again.

I didn't know what that meant. Was it just a one time thing? Spur of the moment? I mean, sure he hasn't removed himself from my company, in fact he moved closer, but…I don't know!

He had surprised me today by asking me if I wanted to go to a movie in Port Angeles. So here we were, sitting in a dark theater, a movie was flickering on the screen though I couldn't remember what it was. I snuck a side glance toward Seth, only to find that he wasn't watching the movie either. He was looking at me. I felt a small warmth spread over my face as I quickly looked away from him.

That was one thing I hated about Seth, if I hated anything at all. He made me into this shy lovesick puppy, one that blushes under one glance. It was an uncomfortable change…unexpected and unwanted.

Are you really complaining? Brain intercepted. I took another ninja worthy glance at the smexy god next to me. Nope. Not complaining at all.

Seth leaned closer to me, his warm breath washing over my face and whispered. "Do you wanna get out of here?" I bit my lip and looked back at the screen. Sure, I didn't know what the fuck was happening, but…maybe he was watching it. Warmth enveloped my hand as he grabbed it in his. "I'm not watching it either." he chuckled before pulling me up and guiding us through the seats. Luckily there wasn't anybody sitting in our way, so no one's feet would be maimed today.

Seth kept a firm grip on my hand as we exited the dark theater, laughing as I stumbled in the sudden light, and led us out into the night. I couldn't help but notice how exceptionally warm, perfect, and right his calloused hand felt in mine.

"So where are we going now?" I asked him as we reached his car. He opened the door for me, a small smile on his lips.

"Well I don't know about you, but…I'm starving!" I laughed at that.

"You're always starving." I pointed out, getting into the car. It was true enough. In the days I had known Seth, I realized that he always managed to eat more than the average teenager. Hell, he ate more than Aaron! He laughed as he walked to his side of the car and got in.

"True enough."

The ride to the restaurant was short to say the least, and before we even had time to begin a steady conversation, we were passing over the threshold of La Bella Italia. Seth held a small scowl on his face. Did he not want to be here?

"This is where Edward and Bella had their first…date. " Oh. I filed that away for later research. If this restaurant has been around as long as that photo was… "It's the only decent place they have here." Seth explained as we waited for the hostess to come and seat us.

"It's fine." I assured him before the UGLIEST person came into vision. And by "ugliest" I mean Captain Bimbo Slutbag, and by "Captain Bimbo Slutbag" I mean… TIFFANY! God, that girl just keeps showing her ugly ass face EVERYWHERE! I barely managed to suppress a groan as she made her way to the podium before us. She glared at me before smiling at Seth.

"Two." Seth said curtly, wrapping his arm around my waist possessively. She stared at his arm for a moment before turning on her heel and stalking away with two menus under her arm. She led us to a booth set our menus down and walked away without a word.

"Guess who's not getting a tip." Seth mumbled as he sat opposite me.

"I don't even understand why she's here." I started. "I mean if she has enough money to get a new nose after the food fight," Seth barked a laugh at the memory. "then she clearly doesn't need a job. And who would even HIRE her!" She's got to be radiating something toxic from all of the plastic in her.

"Speaking of jobs…" Seth started raising his eyebrows at me. "I heard you actually got one?" I groaned and looked at the menu. Yeah, after the whole fiasco with Captain Bimbo Slutbag suing me, I was forced to get a job to try and pay the fine. I now worked as a cashier at some rundown grocery store, and…it's so hard to NOT JUDGE what people were buying! I mean…when a wrinkly seventy four year old comes up with a box of condoms and lubricant, you can't help BUT judge!

"You don't have to, you know." he continued. I glanced up from my menu to see him skillfully avoiding my eyes by looking at his.

"And why wouldn't I have to?" He looked up through his eyelashes and shrugged.

"Took care of it." he answered. I dropped my menu and stared at him, my jaw wide open. He sighed and looked at me. "I wasn't going to make you pay for something that doesn't even deserve a law suit."

"Half a million dollars Seth!" I struggled to keep my voice low, but…HE PAID HALF A MILLION DOLLARS! He sent me a small smile before calmly setting his menu down and leaning toward me. His hand appeared onto of the table and grasped one of mine that was clenched tightly. He gently unfurled my fist and began rubbing soothing circles into my hand.

"Calm down Ashley." How did he expect me to calm down! I don't like people spending money on me! AND HE SPENT HALF A FUCKING MILLION DOLLARS! "It's not that much, I swear."…Not…that…much… "Listen to me!" He let go of my hand and placed both of his warm hands against my face, forcing me to pay attention to him.

"1) It really isn't that much for my family. 2) That amount of money was too much for what happened. I wasn't going to let you pay that outrageous of an amount. And 3) I care too much about you to make you work your ass off for her!" he explained to me slowly.

My thoughts disregarded his first two points and settled for the last.

"You care about me?"

Well, Mc. Duh! (:D) Brain called to me, but I ignored him with a smile playing on my lips. Seth cared about me. There was nothing wrong with the three days of no kisses and he really wanted to be here.

Seth's hands were suddenly no longer on my face. Before I could complain, he had slid out of the booth and moved to sit beside me and pulled me close, tucking me into his side. "Of course I care about you, Ashley. What could make you think otherwise?" he asked me, pressing his lips into my hair-

"ASHLEY!" I blinked, only to become disoriented by the sight of a tan hand moving in front of my eyes rapidly. I jumped and looked around. When did we get into the cafeteria? I could've sworn we were in the hallway, but…no we were in the cafeteria. I felt my eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"You were out of it." Seth explained, from beside me. Jake lowered his hand and smiled.

"Thought you went into a coma or something." Cue, ninja glare! The worst way to pull someone out of the zone is to wave their fudging hand into front of their face!

Wow, you've changed a lot since that first date, Brain commented.

I know! I haven't said fuck in like…ever!

Until now.

…"Mother smurfer!" (:D) I groaned, laying my head on Seth's shoulder. Why is it that my own brain tried to ruin my life? And why did he always succeed? I mean….I was doing so good!

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Seth asked me as Jake, Nessie, and Emmett-from across the room as always-laughed at my choice of words. I pouted my lips and pulled away to look at him.

"I just lost the game." (:D!) I whimpered.

…

"DAMN IT!" We looked over at the Cullen's to see the boys glaring at me. I giggled and smiled sweetly at them. I may have lost to my brain, but I will NEVER lose to a vampire. Seth laughed before turning to me.

"You never did answer my question…"he hinted, moving a stray piece of hair from my face.

I smiled at him and nodded. "I would love to go on a date with you."

"My baby girl's going on a date!" Mommy fake cried as she sat on my bed. Rolling my eyes I continued digging through my closet.

Another way you've changed slightly…normally it's jeans, T-shirt, no questions. Brain brought up.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good for Seth, I shot back. But…what should I where? I don't even know what we're doing! And…and….

"UGH!" I groaned before turning away from the closet of death and plopping on the bed beside Mommy. "Life hates me." I grumbled into Super Comfy Pillow. Mommy was silent for a minute before getting off of the bed. "Where're you going?"

She moved to the other side of the room and picked up her phone from my desk. She smiled reassuringly to me before scrolling through her contacts and pressing a button.

"Hey, Alice?" NOOOOOO! "Yeah, we have a fashion emergency over here." I could hear hyperactive squeaking from the other end of the phone. No, no, no, no, no! "Okay, we'll see you in a bit."

"WHY?" I screamed! I hadn't been forced to face the wrath of the evil pixie stick with a curling iron, but I've heard stories! And I've made it my personal goal to NEVER have to be condemned to Alice's chair of torture and I will NOT ruin it now! Before Mommy could even begin to give me an answer, I jumped up from my bed, ran to the Closet o' death and shut myself in there.

"You're overreacting." Ashlyn sighed, trying to open the doors. I kept a firm grip on them, keeping them from flying open.

"You don't know what Hell you just unleashed." I cried. Suddenly…the doors were wrenched from my grip and there, standing with her weapons ready, was the demon herself. She was smiling from ear to ear, like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland, a curling iron in one hand, a giant bag in the other.

"I won't hurt you, Ashley" Cue screeching scary music.

"So where are we going this time?" I asked, trying to ignore the clip in my hair. I don't like having my hair up, but NOOO evil pixie demon from Hell gets to do whatever she wants. Apparently Seth liked it, seeing as the moment he saw me, he ran his fingers from my cheek down to the base of my throat and back. He also had done a once over of my outfit-which consisted of a pair of silk pajamas-giving me his approving growl before kissing me on the lips.

"La Push." was all he answered as he drove along the dark road. La Push? What would we be doing that involved silk sleep ware?

Oh, like you can't think of anything, Brain scoffed. I felt a now familiar blush spreading at the thought. Yes, but we would hardly need to go out for that. Ashlyn can sleep in the truck again.

"And what are we doing in La Push?" I asked, trying to weasel some kind of information out of him. He responded with a smirk and shook his head.

"You'll see." I pouted and looked out the window at the dark forest passing by. The fifteen minutes it took to get there were spent in a comfortable silence where he drove and held my hand tightly, and I stared at the hypnotic scenery, thinking of what we could possibly be doing.

I only pulled my eyes away from the world outside when the car stopped and Seth released my hand. I frowned from the loss of contact but didn't complain as he made his way to my door. I tried to see where we were, but it was really dark. Maybe this was why Seth wanted to wait until nine o'clock to come pick me up…was the darkness key to whatever he had planned.

Seth opened my door and offered his hand, which I gladly took. When my converse clad foot-the only thing I didn't give in to Alice about-hit the ground I laughed.

"We're at the beach again?" I asked him, only now hearing the quiet lull of the waves. Seth grinned and pulled me away from the car, but instead of walking toward the waves, he made his way closer to the branch of forest the banked the beach. "But, we're not staying at the beach?" I was so confused.

"Somewhere better." he explained cryptically. Okay, what's better than the ocean at night? Seth carefully guided me through the forest, helping me sidestep holes, duck from branches that I couldn't see, over all…I would've probably died if he hadn't been there. Soon though, we broke from the trees and into open air.

I tightened my grip on Seth as he led me forward. The ground beneath us had morphed from thick foliage to hard rock; the air went from earthy to cold and almost salty.

"You're safe." Seth assured me before pulling me closer to the edge. A few feet from the ledge of the cliff were a pile of blankets and pillows and a picnic basket. A small smile spread on my face as I thought of Seth doing this.

Once we were sitting on the pile, Seth began digging through the picnic basket. I laughed when he pulled out two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

"What? I'm practical." he declared, handing me mine. "No, I tried to cook something really fancy, but…after all of this time, I still can't cook." he grimaced. "So in the end I settled for simplicity." I took a bite of the sandwich.

"Delicious." I assured him after swallowing. He laughed before giving me a peck on the cheek in thanks. I cuddled into him, eating my sandwich, and looking at the night sky. It was cloudy, as it always was in Forks. It was a shame; I bet the sky would've been beautiful.

Seth suddenly looked at his watched, the excitement seeming to radiate from him.

"What?" I asked, looking up at him. He smiled at me and nodded toward the sky.

"Wait for it…" I looked at the sky and waited…and waited…and waited…and….gasped. The clouds had begun moving away as if hearing my thoughts and wanting to reveal what they were hiding. And as the moved, a starry sky came into view, emphasized by the moon that seemed so much bigger that usual here on the cliff.

"Voila." Seth murmured in my ear. "You haven't seen the sky properly since you've been here." At this point I didn't think I had ever seen the sky properly. The stars have never been this bright, the moon had never been so close, I felt like I could touch it… I smiled.

"It's beautiful." Seth responded by pulling me into a kiss.

"Not near as beautiful as you are." he murmured against my lips. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck, dropping the forgotten sandwich onto the pallet. He was quick to pull me closer to him, wrapping his scorching arms around my body tightly. I lost the sense of time as the passionate fire I had come to know and love consumed me. We could have been kissing for hours, days, or just mere seconds and I wouldn't have noticed. Seth gently maneuvered me into a lying position, and he hovered over me never breaking the kiss.

His hands ran slowly down my body, leaving a warm trail behind them. They slowly drifted to the bottom of my cami and slowly snuck under it. I gasped as the sudden heat tickled my bare skin. Suddenly his hand gripped my sides and he flipped us over, placing me on top. I smiled a quickly took advantage of my now dominant position. As his hands explored my body under the cami, I explored his neck.

He let out a low growl as I nibbled a little against his skin. His hand moved and gripped the hem of my cami. Right before he pulled it off of me, I gently sunk my teeth into his neck.

He let out a feral growl and flipped me over, removing my cami from me in the same movement. I licked my lips, satisfied to find a slight metallic taste lingering on them, before he began his own assault on my neck while his hands cupped my now exposed breasts. I moaned as he sucked at the hollow of my collarbone and his fingers pinched my nipples gently.

A familiar heat began to course through my body. A need to have Seth flowed through my veins. And, when he pressed his hips flush with mine, I knew he felt the same need. My hands traveled down his body, ignoring his shirt and continuing, when a loud howl rang through the air.

Seth stiffened above me and quickly pulled away, reaching for my cami.

"What is it?" I gasped. He didn't answer, only pulled the top onto me, with an air of urgency. "Seth?" he scooped me into his arms and broke out into a room back into the forest. What had happened that was so bad that we had to cut things short? What had Seth so worried? He ran all of the way to car, never listening to me whenever I managed to ask what the hell was going on. He placed me into the car, buckled me in, and then ran to his side.

"Seth! What the fuck is going on?" I screamed at him, hoping the volume would make him listen. He growled and glanced at me sideways.

"That was the alarm."
