Chapter 4
We Drove in silence both lost in our own thoughts as we neared her house. There was a police cruiser in the driveway next to an old rusted ford truck, I pulled up behind them putting my Camaro in park. She broke the silence quietly and shyly, "thanks for letting me stay with you, and the ride home."
"Of course. Perhaps we could, hang out some time?" I ask trying to mask my hope. It was worth it to watch her beautiful eyes light up with her smile. "I'd love to, here this is my number."
"Great I'll give you a call soon then." Before I lost my nerve I leaned in quickly and kissed her cheek, she is my mate after all. Letting her hair fall in her face and cover her blush she hopped out of my car and ran through the rain to her door, with one last wave to me she disappeared inside.
Its been two weeks since I met Bella, and we have been talking and texting almost nonstop since then. We've finally made plans to hang out today after she gets out of school since its Friday, which is why I was currently tearing apart my closet looking for something to wear. Since when do you care what people think about us?
Well this is our mate, sue me for wanting to impress the girl Saphira.
Said girl has already seen you half naked…
Shut up. Thankfully the voice inside me granted my last request and disappeared with a light chuckle. No I'm not crazy. With a glance at the clock I see schools almost out and it's a 3o minute drive, so throwing on some tight light blue jeans and a black sweater under my leather jacket, I finish with my leather boots that have a 3 inch metal heel and grab my helmet. Ever since she found out I had a bike she has been dying to ride it so I thought I would surprise her with a ride today.
As soon as I was pulling into the parking lot I heard the bell ring and kids flooded through the doors. Most stopping to gawk sat the newcomer. It only got worse when I pulled the helmet off my head, trying to ignore the whispers my gaze zeroes in on the gym door Bella had just walked out of with a group of friends, and one boy standing way to close her I just had to narrow my eyes. "So Bella, you busy tonight?" The growl tore its way past my lips at the little bitch. "Yah I have plans." Damn straight you do. "Oh, well can you reschedule them? There's a new movie coming out tonight I thought we could go see, and then maybe dinner." He gave her a hopeful yet cocky grin. She never got to answer before she saw my form leaning against my bike. Her friends followed her gaze and I swear even that little boy who was hitting on mi Bella was drooling. She's not mine damnit.
Yet.
Shut it Saphira.
Ignoring the laughter in my head I send the girl a sexy smirk as her eyes roam my body and then the bike filled with what I can only describe as lust. "Whose that?"
"Sorry guys I got to go." The closer she got the bigger her smile got before she was throwing her arms around me, surprised I squeezed back loving the way she felt in my arms. "You brought the bike?"
"Of course, you did say you wanted a ride yes?"
"yes!" She squealed as she pulled away. "Well then here hop on." I handed her the spare helmet that would now be hers before swinging onto the bike and pulling on my own.
I took off as soon as her arms wound around me tightly, ignoring the stares we were getting I wound through the streets until I hit the turn off, I had spent some time looking for something we can do together and I think I found a perfect spot. Driving down the dirt road as far as I could I pull to a stop. Once we climbed off and she was officially confused, "we must walk the rest of the way."
"Uh, ok but I trip on flat ground so were going to have to go slow." Her face turned red at the admission, "No worries hun, I won't let you fall."
Bella POV
True to her word I not once hit the ground, I tripped a lot, but she caught me every time. I even stopped blushing round the third time she pulled me flush against her with that damn sexy smirk of hers. God it already feels like I have known her forever. "Is this where you take me out into the woods and kill me?" I joked into the silence and let out a laugh at the look of horror on her face. She narrowed her eyes at me when she got I was joking, "I may now." I burst out laughing until I was bent over clutching my sides at the look on her face. It came to an abrupt stop as ,y breath was taken, I looked up at her face and saw the most beautiful smile aimed at me. "What?" She asked as she began to fidget at my staring. "Your beautiful" was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I was rewarded by the slight blush rising to her face. "Thank you, though it holds no candle to your beauty my dear." Her words were accompanied by what I now know is her trademark smirk, I swear she loves making me blush. "Then again I can go on about your beauty for an eternity, but we have reached our destination." Looking away from the emerald eyes that
have plagued my mind for this past week I turn to look at out surroundings. We were in a clearing, not huge but big enough to house a beautiful waterfall off to the side falling into a little
pond with a stream that led into the surrounding forest.
