Chapter 38
Everything
Olivia Point of View
"I actually have something special planned for tonight. Elizabeth picked an outfit for you. It's on the bed." I ran back into the room grabbed the clothing and rushed to the bathroom. I was beyond curious to see what Seth had planned for me. I slipped on a dark red dress that fit me perfectly. I put on a necklace that had a wolf on it, Evan and Ryan bought it for me when Seth and I first met. I slipped on a pair of red pumps and slapped on some make up. I brushed out my hair and decided it was perfect the way it was hanging around my face and cascading down my back. I walked out of the bathroom to see Seth waiting for me in a pair of dark jeans, a white shirt, and a leather jacket, looking drop dead gorgeous. I nearly melted at the sight of him. He slowly looked me up and down taking me in. He apparently liked what he saw because a huge smile stretched across his face that made me go weak in the knees. Without a word we walked downstairs and out the front door. Being the gentleman that he was, he opened the car door for me and let me slide in. He walked around to the driver's side of my truck and jumped in. He started the car and I immediately scooted over to be next to him. He wrapped his arm around me and I felt safe. I had no idea if he knew where he was going but I really did not care. I would do anything as long as Seth was by my side. We drove to the beach that was all too familiar to me. I had spent years there as a kid. The beach was empty due to the lack of heat and surf was beyond horrid. Seth opened the door for me and I stepped outside, feeling that pumps were the wrong choice for this venue. I slipped of the shoes and threw them in the truck. Seth did the same with his shoes. Then Seth covered my eyes with a blind fold, picked me up, and carried me towards the ocean. The salty air brought back memories of days at the beach with my brothers. The sound of crashing waves came closer and closer. Seth set me down, and I felt the sand squish between my toes. He took off the blindfold and I gasped at the sight in front of me. A picnic blanket was laid on the sand and candles were lit all around it, stuck in the sand. Rose petals covered the blanket and some of the sand beside it. A basket of food was placed on one corner of the blanket, and a boom box on another corner. Pillows for lounging were also placed on the blanket. I turned to Seth and kissed him passionately. This had to be the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me. A tear fell from my eye and Seth quickly wiped it away.
"This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. You are the best wolf a girl could ever have. Thank you." I said and captured his lips with one more passionate kiss. We sat down on the blanket and started to nibble at the food. He was lying against the pillows and I rested my head on his chest. We were eating all of these finger foods, feeding it to each other. Deviled eggs, warm potato skins, mini hot dogs, cheese cubes, grapes, and chocolate covered strawberries. It was delicious but I was doing more of the feeding to Seth. I did not mind though because I had to face him and lay on his chest to feed him. It is quite enjoyable for both involved.
"Seth, how did you do all of this? You were with me the entire time at the house."
"Elizabeth, Jenna, and Stacy were more than willing to help out when I told them what I wanted to do for you." He replied.
"Thank you for doing this for me. This is the best night of my life, and it has barely started." I kissed him again to thank him for all that he has done for me. My other reason for kissing him was because his lips were simply too tempting. His arms wrapped around my midsection and my hands grabbed onto his hair to pull him closer to me. After the food supply disappeared we turned on the music and looked up at the stars. The sound of Everything, by Michael Buble, started flowing out of the stereo. "I love this song. Dance with me, please." I requested. He nodded. I stood up with his hand in mine, and walked over to the sand. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his hands on my hips. My head rested on his chest. He started singing the lyrics to me.
"You're a falling star, you're the getaway car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do." At that part I tilted my head up at him and gave him that smile, and I did know exactly what it did to him.
"Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my every day.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you, baby just because I can." He stopped singing and kissed me. He missed the next couple of lines, but started back up again.
"And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
So, la, la, la, la, la, la, la." And the song ended. We stopped dancing.
He dropped down on one knee. I gasped and a smiled appeared across my lips. "Olivia, you are my day, my night, my sun, my moon, my stars, my sky. You're my everything. Would you, Olivia Coleman, do me the honor of marrying me?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! A thousand times, Yes!" He pulled a ring out of his pocket and slid it on my ring finger. It had a gold band, with a ruby heart in the center, titled, and two diamonds beside it. The ring was perfect. Tonight was perfect. My Fiancé was perfect. I knocked him into the sand with a kiss. My arms wrapped around his neck and his wrapped around my waist. His lips and mine moved in a rhythm. I traced my tongue on his lower lip begging to let me enter. He did. His tongue and mine started doing the tango as he rolled over placing his legs on the outside of my hips. His body pressed against mine but making sure his weight would not weigh down on me. One of his hands traveled down my waist, passing my hips, down my thigh, and stopping at my calf. He then wrapped my leg around his waist so I was hooked on him. And oh boy was I hooked. I think I forgot how to breathe. Seth's lips left mine and trailed down the left side of my neck to let me catch my breath. This kisses continued across my collar bone and back up the right side. He kissed me so hard there would definitely be a hickey. At the time I could care less, I just wanted more of him. I finally caught up with my breath and started kissing him back. When he needed a break I left his lips and trailed to his neck and gave him a small little bite. He groaned out of enjoyment. His hands grabbed onto my hair and pulled my head back so my lips met his again. My hands traced down his neck, across his chest, down his abs, and snaked up his shirt. Slowly I removed his shirt but had to break up the kissing in the process. We quickly picked back up again. I rolled us over so I my weight was now on him. His hands traveled down my back finding the zipper on my dress. It unzipped with ease. As the cold air hit my unexposed skin I realized how far we were taking this. I would not have minded at the moment but we would have both regretted not waiting tomorrow. I broke apart from his lips.
"Seth, wait." I asked more than commanded. My breath was ragged and so was his. "You know I want to, but we'd regret it in the morning. Let's wait for the Honeymoon. Or at least find some protection."
"You're right. I wasn't thinking straight. We should wait." He agreed. His hands zipped my dress. I kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, for waiting." We went back to lounging on the blanket looking at the stars. "Do you want to talk about the wedding to keep us distracted?"
"I'd love to," He responded.
"Where do you want to have it?"
"I don't care as long as I'm with you."
"That's sweet but doesn't help me decide."
"Let's have it in your backyard, because the Cullens and the Tribe never claimed that land, so both would be free to come to the wedding." Seth always came up with the perfect solutions.
"That's perfect. When do we want to have it?"
"I want to get married tomorrow if we could, but I think we should wait until the issue with the Volturi is resolved. I'd feel bad enjoying myself while people's lives are on the line."I nodded my head in agreement.
"So now we have the when, and the where, now for the who. Can we have Claire and Nessie as flower girls, and Demon and Lupus as the ring bearers?"
"I'm sure they'd love that, and that is an awesome idea of including Demon and Lupus in the wedding, we could put the rings on their collars. This is a touchy subject. But if you don't mind me asking, who is going to give you away?" His voice became gentle and soft when asking me this.
"I always planned on having Evan and Ryan giving me away. They are the people who have the right to decide on letting me get married. Wait," I turned around to face Seth, "did you ask them about marrying me, first?"
"Of course, I would have asked you parents, but your brothers are the alternative. Evan and Ryan actually responded by saying, 'That took you long enough.' So apparently we are taking this slower than they expect."
"It's good they approve. But I'd still marry you whether or not they gave their blessing." He kissed me softly on the lips. "What was that for? Not that I mind."
"For being beautiful, smart, fun, independent, strong," He would have never stopped had I not silenced him with my lips. I pulled away and found a smile stretched from ear to ear. "Did I mention creative?" I gave him one more quick peck and went back to gaze at the stars. "Who are your bridesmaids going to be?"
"Jenna, Stacy, and Leah, while Liz is going to be my maid of honor."
"That's really sweet, you didn't have to do that."
"Do what?" What did I do that was so sweet?
"Make Leah a bridesmaid," He was going to continue but I silenced him again in my own special way.
"I want her as my bridesmaid. I like Leah; if she wasn't your sister I would still make her my bridesmaid. Who are you going to have be the groomsmen?"
"Jacob, Edward, Evan, and Ryan, while Jacob is going to be my best man." A smile peeked out on my face and I kissed his cheek for making my brothers groomsmen. I turned back around and snuggled into his side again. "Who should we have cook the food?" Of course that was going to be one of the first things we talked about.
"Frankly, I would love to cook but the girls would kill me if they didn't have the chance to beautify me for the entire time before the wedding. How about… Esme and your mom." I knew his mom could cook, and then it hit me. I'd never met the groom's mom. I turned over and I'm sure there was a frantic look on my face. "Seth, I've never met your mom! How is it possible that I've never met the groom's mom?"
"Calm down, I was going to have you meet her the day that we come back from this vacation." My entire body relaxed knowing that he already had a plan. "We should keep it a secret until you meet my mom. She already knows that I was going to propose to you, but I want to keep it between us until she meets you. If you don't mind…." He still wanted my permission.
"Of course, and Alice won't see anything because my groom is a werewolf. I'll still wear the ring and just say that it doesn't fit on my other ring finger, if anyone asks. And they will ask. Who should we have marry us?" Neither of us held a specific religion, so it wouldn't matter who married us.
"Billy, Jacob's dad, he has a license to perform marriages, because he is one of the elders in the tribe. Would you mind him doing it?"
"Not at all, that's actually rather brilliant. What else do you want to talk about?" I had nothing else in mind about the wedding that we could talk about now, without Alice. He looked at his watch and then responded.
"Actually, it's one in the morning. We should go back to the house. Especially if we're going to Disneyland tomorrow." Although, he didn't make any motion to stand up. "But I don't want to get up right now. I'm too happy with you right now."
"I'm not going to disagree with that. But we should go back to the house." I stood up and we both started cleaning up the beautiful set up. "Thank you for this. Everything was perfect." I kissed him on the cheek. Once everything was cleaned up, we traveled back to the truck. We just put all of the pillows, blankets, candles, and everything else in the back of the back of the truck and Seth told me we could deal with it in the morning. He drove us back to the house. When we reached the house and came up to the front door, it was locked. Even though there were a few people in the house that had to be awake, they would start questioning us. "Let's go around back." With his hand in mine I led him to the back of the house. My room had been on the third story, but I had a solution. I use to climb up and down the vines that grew up the side of the wall, when I wanted to go to concerts with my brothers. We used it even after my parents died, just to keep the fun alive. I gestured for Seth to go first.
"But how will I catch you if you fall?"
"How will you know I'm falling if I don't let you look up? Seth, dress." I said gesturing down. Then it all came together for him. "But just so you have a piece of mind, I'll go first, but no looking up." I said setting my pumps on the ground. I started to climb carefully placing my feet and hands. I reached the third floor balcony and pulled myself over the railing. Seth threw the shoes up to me and then started to climb. Even though this wasn't a work out for him, I could still see his muscles flex with each movement. I started thinking inappropriate thoughts that honestly needed to be quieted. They were that bad. Seth reached towards the railing and pulled himself over. I looked into his eyes and only found love, adoration, and happiness. As his eyes searched mine, he came to the same conclusion I had. We were hopelessly in love. Finally feeling the length of the day, we slipped inside my old bedroom. Instead of putting on pajamas, we jumped beneath the covers, wearing the clothes and sand. That was the first night I slept in my Fiancé's arms.
