BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S
CHAPTER 11
SAVANNAH P.O.V
Seth had been MIA for a few days now. He hadn't shown up to the pack meeting that dad had. He didn't answer any of my calls or texts. I was starting to get really worried. Before he went MIA I had asked if he wanted to hang out and he said no. I haven't heard from him since.
"I'm sure he's fine." Mom commented as I did my homework. "He's a big boy. He can take care of himself."
"Just figured he would talk to me. He hasn't called me." I kept my phone glued to my hand in case he called. "I'm worried about him." I looked down at my phone for the fifth time in the last few minutes. Still nothing. If he wanted to talk, he would call. I jumped down from my chair and went to the front hall to grab my shoes.
"Where are you going?"
"To his place." I commented grabbing dad's keys off the hook. "I'm sure I'll be back soon." It was Friday night, usually we went out on dates. But instead I was being a loser sitting at home doing homework with my mom.
When I got to his place, there were tons of cars around and music blaring. I walked to the front door and shoved it open. A few people moved out of the way. I pushed through the crowd looking for Seth.
"What the hell is going on?!" I shouted over the music shoving him.
"What are you doing here?" He grabbed my arm. I shoved him off of me.
"You haven't talked to me in days and didn't even invite me to your party?" I looked around at his small place that was not big enough for the amount of people here.
"You shouldn't be here."
"Why?"
"Because your dad would kill you if he found out you were here." I rolled my eyes. He used my dad as an excuse for everything.
"Yeah, I get it." I commented stepping back from him. "Just wanted to make sure you were safe." I commented before heading for the stairs.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting my clothes." It was very obvious that he didn't want to be with me. He would have been happy to see me and he would have wanted me to stay and party with him. "I'll stay away from you." I got to his bedroom and started grabbing my clothes. I didn't want to cry but the pain in my chest was aching.
"Savannah, stop." Seth was grabbing the clothes from me and shoving it back into the drawer.
"Stop!" I angrily shoved him.
"You stop! You're acting like a crazy girlfriend!"
"Well you won't have to worry about that anymore."
"Why do you make everything so difficult?!" He screamed at me. "Just be normal!"
"Normal? What the fuck does that mean?" In case he forgot, we were not a normal couple. He fell in love with me when I was a newborn!
"You're crazy. I can't believe I ever dated you." I felt like my skin was going to burst into flames with how angry I was.
"I can't believe I ever wanted to marry you." I shoved him out of the way. I hoped he enjoyed his lonely life.
But I knew that if he ever came running back to me, begging for my forgiveness, I would forgive him. Because that's what imprint do. Because I was young and dumb and I loved him.
I drove home in silence. I had no idea how I was going to explain this to my parents. Maybe I just wouldn't tell them. Act like everything was normal. I knew that we were both angry and said thing but it didn't mean that it hurt any less.
"What happened?" Mom asked as soon as I walked in door.
"Nothing. He didn't want to talk to me." I decided to keep this to myself. I didn't want dad going crazy on him. "Men are kinda..."
"Yeah. I know." I rarely ever saw or heard mom and dad fight like Seth and I do. Maybe I was the one to blame.
"I just want him to love me." I whispered picking at my nails.
"He does love you. He just doesn't know how to show it." I wanted to go back in time and never have sex with him. Not because I regret it but maybe none of this would have happened if we didn't do it. Men we were weird and confusing.
My birthday was in a few days and my parents kept asking what I wanted to do. I didn't want to do anything. Seth hadn't talked to me in days. He didn't come over to the house. I heard him howl a few times but other than that, I haven't seen or heard him.
"We do have a party planned for Saturday." Mom commented.
"That's fine." I was sitting at the table looking out the back door. "Think Seth will come?"
"I invited him. I guess we'll see."
*SATURDAY*
Dad came in the back door after setting up picnic tables for my party. Mom was making lots of food. They both insisted that they didn't need me to help them.
"Can you just watch Finn for me?" Mom had asked.
"Have you heard from Seth?"
"I have." Dad answered. "Don't worry about him."
"I will always worry about him." I sighed. We had bought steak and chicken from my favorite butcher and then bought hamburgers and hot dogs. There was tons of food and my cake was very large. The entire pack would be here with their families and I invited a few people from school.
Mom and dad were whispering in the kitchen.
"What are you two talking about?" I questioned.
"Nothing darling. Just thinking maybe your day is going to perk up." Dad smiled.
*SETH P.O.V*
"I have an idea." I said to Jacob at the wolf pack meeting that he had called.
"Which is?"
"I want to propose and I think the perfect place to do it would be at her birthday party."
"Okay."
"I have the ring." I commented pulling it out of my pocket. I've been acting distant because she will not expect this at all. We got into a huge fight and we haven't talk to each other.
"How are you so sure she's going to say yes?"
"Because I've already asked her. And she said yes." I commented showing him the ring. I had my mom help me pick it out.
"It's beautiful but you have to understand that she is very upset over this."
"I know. That's the point. I really love her. I just want her to be with me and be happy but I needed to respect your wishes."
"You could have gone about this a different way."
"I know but I'm stupid. But do I have your blessing?"
"Yes you have my blessing." He answered patting me on the back. "Come to her party late. Bring flowers. Wear something nice. She'll forgive you as soon as you pull out that ring."
"Got it. Nice shirt. Flowers. Ring." I was very excited to start this new chapter. "What color is she wearing?"
"White." Ironic.
*SAVANNAH P.O.V*
"What are you wearing?" Alice asked. She came to the party early to help me do my hair and makeup since I had been neglecting it recently.
"That white dress that's hanging up." I pointed to it. The weather wasn't very warm but with the wolf blood in me, I would be fine.
"Have you heard from him?" I shook my head as she curled my hair and pinned a few pieces up. "Well you'll be happy to know that I have again seen your wedding."
"I was dreaming about it the other night." I smiled at her in the mirror. "Also had a dream I was pregnant and that's why we were getting married. Dad forced us down the aisle."
"I could see that happening." She laughed. "He loves you."
"Dad or Seth?" I questioned.
"I was talking about your dad but they both love you." She smiled moving to do my makeup.
"He hasn't been coming around. He doesn't answer my texts or calls. I know it's so stupid but I love him so much and I don't even care about our stupid fight anymore. I just want him to come and hang out with me." I sighed. Alice worked fast before turning so I could see myself. She did light makeup that complimented my dress perfectly. "Thanks, Alice."
"You're welcome." She smiled. She left the room so I could get dressed but came back to help me fix my hair. "Everyone is here." I walked down the stairs to greet everyone and thank them for coming.
"Is he here?"
"Not yet." Dad frowned. I sighed but went to the backyard to admire the decorations. The party was in full swing and I made sure to try every dip or snack that was there. "Sav." Dad called pointing to the woods. Seth came out of the woods with flowers.
"Seth!" I shouted running to him and jumping into his arms. "I've missed you so much." I whispered holding him as tight as I could. He held me with one arm.
"I'm so sorry. This was just the best way to surprise you." He commented setting me down. "Happy birthday baby." He smiled handing me the flowers.
"Thank you." I smiled.
"I have something else." He commented. I had turned to walk back where everyone else was. When I turned to face him, he was down on one knee. "I know that we've been struggling lately but I am head over heels in love with you. Savannah Violet, will you marry me?" I automatically started crying and flung myself at him.
"Yes!" I shouted crying into his neck. "I love you so much." Once I settled down enough he sat me on his lap and slipped the ring onto my finger. "It's so pretty."
"I love you." He smiled kissing me.
"Is that why you didn't talk to me?"
"I wanted you to be surprised. I knew that you knew it was coming but this way, you had no idea it would be today."
"I really had no idea." I smiled.
"Let us see it!" Emily shouted pulling me back to the party. I held up my hand for everyone to see. I turned to look at dad who was smiling. I slowly walked over to him.
"You knew didn't you?"
"He asked me." He smiled. "I told you your day was going to pick up didn't I?" I nodded showing him the ring.
"I'm so happy." I cried hugging him. "He's such a fuck but I love him." Dad laughed.
"I'm so happy for you both. I wish you a lifetime of happiness."
"Thank you."
After everything had died down and everyone was able to get a glance at the ring, I ended up back in Seth's arms.
"I got us a hotel room for tonight."
"Thank god." I whispered. Finally we could do whatever we please whenever we pleased. My parents agreed that once I was 18, that there would be no more rules. Obviously we couldn't have loud crazy sex every night but I didn't need to be home at a certain hour and I could spend everyday and night with him.
"Can we talk wedding plans?!" Alice shouted coming over to us.
"No. Give us a few weeks." I laughed. "Start collecting magazines." I joked. I knew she already had them saved for me.
"Are you ready to eat or do you wanna suck each other's faces off first?" Sam asked as he started the grill.
"We'll eat." I commented. I knew that we were going to the brunt of everyone's jokes for a while. I didn't care. "I got you one of the good steaks."
"You're awesome." He smiled kissing me. I was very excited to see what our future held.
"I only have one request." I commented to him. "I don't want any wedding talk for a few weeks but I want to be engaged for a year before we get married."
"Deal." He smiled. I wanted plenty of time to spend together and have time to plan our wedding. I knew I had plenty of hands to help me plan. But with having that many people, there were also a lot of opinions on what I should have and what my dress would look like.
I got Seth food and got myself food. I was looking forward to cooking for him every night for dinner.
"What are we going to do about our living situation?" I asked him. He said he wanted to wait until we were engaged to move in. Well boy jumped the gun a little early.
"I did say once we were engaged."
"You did. How about a few weeks?" I asked. We would wait a few weeks to do everything that we needed. I wanted to enjoy myself and our new chapter in our lives.
We did cake before the sun went down and dad started a fire.
"We will have to get going soon." Seth commented rubbing my back.
"Okay." I commented looking at Alice who I could tell was itching to talk to me. "Alice wanna come in with me?" I asked standing to go pack a bag. Not that I would need clothes for the plans that we had for tonight.
"Yes." She shrieked running up the stairs to my room. I closed the door behind me and watched her fling around my lingerie. "I think you should wear the red tonight." While she packed my clothes, I got together the other things I would need in the morning. "How many nights are you staying?"
"I don't know." I shrugged. I'm sure we wouldn't be staying for that long. We would probably save something for the honeymoon. "I probably won't really need clothes anyway."
"You're not coming home naked." She rolled her eyes.
"Alice." I said.
"I know what your plan is just humor me." She commented. "Also, he has amazing taste in jewelry." I laughed.
"I've showed him a few rings along the way." I answered zipping up the bag that was perfectly packed. Hopefully he had come packed himself.
"Ready?" He asked once I came down the stairs.
"Yeah." I smiled making my way around the group saying bye and thank you to everyone. Seth held his car door open for me and got my bags in.
"How many days did you pack for?"
"Alice packed for me." I told him.
"I'm hoping there's naughty stuff in there." He smirked.
"My dad can still hear you." He quickly shut my door and ran around to his side pulling off onto the street.
"Should be safe now." He commented making me giggle. I can't believe I got to spend the rest of my life with him. He rested his hand on my thigh as he drove. Of course he would have easy access to me with this dress on.
"How long are we staying?" I asked.
"Just until Monday night. I have work on Tuesday." He commented. He was teasing my thigh with his fingers. I looked in the backseat knowing damn well I wasn't going to be making it to the hotel. "What are you looking at?" He asked when I looked back at him. He wouldn't fit in the back seat.
"Just realized you're too big to sit in the backseat."
"Why would I sit back there?"
"So I can ride you." I smirked.
"Are you turned on?"
"I'm always turned on." I answered. I was 18 years old. Of course I was horny. "I have a hot piece of ass sitting next to me and he won't finger me."
"In due time my love." His hand again was on my thigh. I spread my legs for him hoping he would get the hint. "No."
"C'mon."
"This car is small. You are not protected. Anyone would be able to see you and I don't want that. You don't wanna be arrested on your 18th birthday do you?" He was too innocent. He was never the one to be adventurous.
"You annoy me." I rolled my eyes turning on the radio. "I'm gonna call my mom really fast." I commented dialing her number.
"Savannah? Are you okay?" She said panicked into the phone.
"Yeah. Can you save me a few pieces of cake?" She laughed a little.
"I'll save you some cake." "Have fun. Be safe." We haven't been safe as of yet so we'll see.
"We will. Bye. Love you."
"Love you more." She commented before hanging up.
"Did you uh, bring condoms?" I asked him. It probably didn't matter much.
"Yes." He commented moving his hand to hold mine. "Are you still horny?" I looked over at him. "I take that as a yes."
"Yeah." I commented. "I could do it for you." I commented pulling the top of my dress down.
"Don't." He commented holding my chest so I couldn't move my dress. I giggled as his hand held my chest.
"C'mon. Touch a nipple or something." I whined.
"You are killing me." He gritted through his teeth. He finally caved and played with my nipple outside of my dress watching as it popped out making me hiss as he made contact with it. He finally pulled it down exposing both of my breasts and toying with my nipple. I played with the other while he got me to moan. "Where is your bra?"
"Not wearing one." I answered out of breath. I could not wait until we got to the hotel. "How much longer?" I asked watching the speedometer speed up.
"Why are you rushing this?" He asked.
"I haven't seen you in weeks!" I commented looking at him.
"Exactly." I rolled my eyes. "Don't rush this. Cause then it'll be over."
"My dad agreed to light up on the rules."
"Well once you move in we won't have to worry about it at all." I was worried. And not about what Seth had planned but moving out of the only house I ever known and moving in with him. It didn't matter that I was his imprint. We already broke up twice, how do I know it won't happen again? "What?" He asked as I moved my dress back up.
"Nothing." I smiled at him.
"Tell me." He held my hand. "Please."
"I'm just worried that we won't work out." I said biting my thumb nail on my free hand. He looked at me like I had four heads.
"Why?"
"Cause we already broke up twice." He sighed pulling up to the hotel.
"Don't worry about that." He commented turning the car off and running around the car to open my door for me. He held his hand out for me to take. I stepped out of the car and made sure I was decent before he went to grab my bag and we headed inside. "I have reservations under Cullen." I shook my head. We used them for all the fancy places.
"Ah yes." The man replied searching the computer. "You're on the top floor." My eyes widened.
"The penthouse?"
"You know about this?"
"Yeah uh... Went to a party there once." I commented holding his arm.
"Oh." Seth replied as we went to our room. He shoved open both the doors and let me go in first. It was not the same as when I went to the party. It was a lot more calm. Not as flashy. The windows were light up and we could see right into the city. The bathroom was huge with a big shower and a tub that could fit four of Seth size people.
The bed was hidden behind another set of doors. There was a living room, a small kitchen and a dining room. On the dining room table was a cake and chocolate covered strawberries.
"This was very sweet of you." I smiled picking up a strawberry and taking a bite.
"Always the best for you." He smiled coming up to stand behind me. He moved the hair away from my shoulder and kissed my neck. "Wanna take a shower?"
"No. Shouldn't we shower after?" I asked turning in his arms. He dug his finger's into my hips and lifted me to sit on the table. I quickly wrapped my legs around his waist and he hiked my dress up to my stomach.
"Are you kidding me?" He whispered to himself as he finally got the chance to see my red panties. He had not seen any type of lingerie on me yet and boy was he in for a lifetime of sexy clothes. "You are stunning." He whispered kissing my thighs making me giggle. "I have never seen a more beautiful woman in my entire life."
"You're looking at my vagina and not my face." I giggled to him.
"Every part of you is stunning." I covered my face as he quickly pulled my panties down and right away got to work on pleasing me.
"Seth!" I moaned arching my back. He held my down as his tongue worked it's way over my thighs, over my clit, down to my opening and back again. "Please." I whispered throwing my head back.
"Please what?"
"More." He chuckled but stood and slowly took his shirt off. "Don't make me rip it." I warned sitting up to watch him. He continued with his slow pace unbuttoning his shirt making me impatient and ripping it open and off his shoulder's.
"Savannah! Do you have any self control?"
"No." I chuckled taking the shirt off and throwing it on the floor. "For a wolf you're pretty slow."
"Mmhmm you won't be saying that later." His eyes became even darker as I looked at him. I quickly tugged his pants down admiring his tight boxers.
"Well hello." I smiled up at him.
"I knew you would enjoy these." He smirked lifting me up and letting my dress call to the floor.
"Wait." I huffed. "Hang that up." He whined. "I don't want it to be wrinkled!"
"You're such your mother sometimes." He commented throwing me on the bed before going to hang up the dress. As he was standing there, I began to panic. "What's wrong?" He asked coming over to the bed. I shook my head and covered my face. "What?"
"The last two times we had sex something went wrong." I looked at him and he sighed.
"Nothing like that is going to happen again. I promise." I nodded my head. I was still worried. "You're mine. Now and forever."
"Forever."
*I'm sorry this took so long to get out! I went on vacation and then was trying to get back into the loop of things at work. I did not plan on having them get engaged but things change and you gotta roll with the punches! Hope you enjoyed!*
