CHAPTER NINE

I woke up the next morning with my arms around something soft. Oh, I remember, Abigail fell asleep here last night. Her head was buried on my chest, just below my chin. Her arm was wrapped around my torso and my arms were wrapped around her shoulders and waist.

We didn't get to bed last night until at least one thirty, so I knew that we were both going to be exhausted today. What was today again? Oh right, Sunday, meh. She wouldn't be able to stay the night…maybe I could convince her…

I looked at the clock, it was already 11:00AM. Yeah we were definitely more tired than I thought we were. I knew that it was getting late and she would have to leave soon. But I wanted her to stay forever.

She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. I started stroking her beautiful hair. Her breathing matched mine. I felt like she belonged here. Like we were really meant for each other.

She started to move in my arms. She moved so that her head was resting in the crook of my neck. I could feel her warm, sweet breath on my neck.

Heaven.

I continued stroking her beautiful cherry brown hair. I leaned down to kiss her hair and left my lips to linger there for a few minutes. I looked over to the clock again, it was already noon. We didn't really have much homework over the weekend. Well I already did mine, you know skipping lunch and Spanish and everything.

She smelled lovely. Even though my thirst for blood didn't overtake me, I could still smell blood, and hers smelled magnificent. She smelled sort of like honey and the ocean. Which is a combination that I never thought would smell so good together.

Abigail started shifting around more in my arms, a few minutes later her eyes opened and she yawned. She smiled when she saw me, "Good morning."

I kissed the top of her head and smiled back at her, "Good morning, did you sleep well?"

She nodded her head, "You're bed is very comfortable. What time is it?"

"Um, around noon."

"What?! You could have woken me up if it got too late."

"We went to sleep late last night. And I didn't wake up that early either." I paused, was she upset? "Are you mad?"

She smiled, "Of course not, I just didn't want you to get bored."

"You're pretty interesting to watch sleep." Then I nuzzled her hair, "You smell good too."

"Um, thanks…I think."

I laughed, "I'm going to jump in the shower. Do you want me to make you breakfast before I do so?"

She shook her head, "I'm going to jump in the shower too."

She slowly got out of bed and walked to the guest bedroom. I got up and come some clothes out of my closet. Then I went to the bathroom and jumped in the warm shower. A few minutes later I got out of the shower and brushed my teeth. I put my clothes on and tried to dry my hair as much as possible.

I hung my towel up and then walked back into my bedroom. I before I saw anything I heard someone playing my guitar. They were playing it quite beautifully actually. They were just playing a random song that I've heard of before, but forgot the name of.

Immediately I thought it was my mom, but why would she be playing in my room? We play together all the time any everything…but Abigail was here. Wait…did she leave? No I still smell her, maybe it's just from memory.

I stepped further into the bedroom and found that Abigail was the one playing my guitar. She looked beautiful playing my guitar, just pure beautiful. She was wearing a pair of jeans and the sweater that I put on her yesterday. I smiled once again at the thought of her wearing my clothes.

I walked over to her and sat next to her. Then I laid my head on her shoulder. "I didn't know that you could play the guitar."

She smiled, "Yeah, I play a little, not very well though. I didn't know that you could play."

I smiled, "Yeah, my dad plays the piano so he always wanted me to get into music, but I liked guitars."

"One day you will have to play for me."

"Ditto. Are you hungry?"

"A little bit, but I can just eat something at home."

I looked over at the clock, it was almost 1:00 PM now. I sighed, "Do you really have to go home?"

She nodded her head, "My aunt will be home in a few days. Plus I have some homework I have to do. And I still need to get my car fixed."

She put the guitar down and laid her head on top of mine.

Then I said, "You could just stay here forever. Then you wouldn't need a car."

"That would not be very productive."

"Who cares?"

She laughed, "Well, I think that my Aunt Annie is going to be a little suspicious when she comes home and I'm not there."

I nuzzled her shoulder, "We could leave a note."

"Because that would go so well with her."

"I think it's a great plan."

"Sure. But seriously. I need to get home, and what about my car? It's probably buried piles of snow."

"My dad got the part changed, its in the garage."

"He didn't have to do that…"

"It's okay."

"Was the part expensive? I can pay for the part if you want…"

"Nope. Don't worry about it."

"Thank you."

I laughed, "So do you want me to drive you home now?"

"You don't need to take me home, it's kind of far."

"It's only like 30 minutes, and if I drive fast it will only be like 20 minutes. Plus it could be dangerous. The roads are still icy."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay, thanks then."

A few minutes later we both got our jackets on and walked into the living room. My parents were sitting at the dining table playing chess. I seriously didn't know why they bothered, my mom had practiced so much that she won almost all of the time.

"I heard that Anthony!"

"Sorry dad. I'm just going to drop Abigail off at home, I'll be back soon."

Then Abigail said, "Thanks for fixing my car Edward."

"No problem."

"I'll see you two tomorrow."

Then my dad said, "Don't stay out too late Anthony."

Just as we were about to step out of the door I heard my mom yell, "Check mate!"

I laughed and then we walked to her car. She was about to get in the drivers seat but I wrapped my arms around her waist to stop her, "I want to drive."

"But it's my car."

"So?"

"So, shouldn't I drive my car?"

"No."

"Well, too bad"

She managed to wriggle out of my grip, which was actually impossible because I was pretty darn strong, I mean not as strong as other vampires, but stronger than most humans. She closed the door behind her and smiled at me.

I just stood there in shock. How exactly did she get out of my grip? Sighing, I walked over to the other side of the car and got in the passenger's seat.

She started the car and then we left the garage. We turned on some music for the background and started our journey to her place.

"My house is a lot smaller than yours, just warning you. I mean it's not like extremely small, but it's not huge."

I smiled, "Well we have seven people living in our house. You only have two. I don't think that you would have to have a big house."

She smiled. We spent the rest of the ride home with small conversations. We basically just asked each other questions. I learned a lot about her. She never had a boyfriend, or girlfriend before me (just as I), she had never been kissed on the lips before me (just as I), her 18th birthday was August 17. She did some photography, and she didn't like almonds, which I thought was pretty random, but I didn't question it.

I looked at the speedometer, she was going 70 miles an hour where the speed limit was only 50.

"I see you don't follow the law."

"I like driving fast, what can I say?"

I laughed and we spent the rest of the car ride in comfortable silence. Not much really needed to be said. We arrived at her house in about 20 minutes. We both got out of the car and she got her keys out.

The house was pretty big, it wasn't as big as our place, but it was open, and homey at the same time. I followed her into the house as she opened and closed the door behind us. She turned to me and said, "I'm just going to get something to eat, feel free to look around as much as you want."

I nodded my head as she went into the kitchen. I started looking at the picture frames all around the wall. There were a lot of pictures of her as a child, she was beautiful even at a young age. There were also a lot of pictures of her and her aunt. There were some baby pictures of her with her parents.

I frowned, I would have liked to have met her parents. I wondered if she ever missed them. I wanted to know everything about her.

A few minutes later Abigail found me looking at the pictures. She had just finished her now lunch.

"How was lunch?"

She laughed, "Good. How was looking at these pictures?"

"There are some nice pictures here."

"Thanks, I guess."

She walked up to me then wrapped her arms around my neck. She kissed me gently on the lips and I wrapped my arms around her waist. In a matter of seconds, I picked her up bridal style and started heading up the stairs, "Where is your bedroom?"

"The door on the right."

I walked to the room on the right. When I walked in I found that she had one of the most beautiful rooms ever. It was big, not too big, but not too small. The walls of the room were a light reddish color, it went well with her hair.

I set her down on her full sized bed and I sat down next to her. Immediately she crawled on my lap and her hands went around my neck and her lips went to mine.

I wrapped my arms around her waist as I lost myself in the kiss. Hmm…she had nice lips, nice soft, red lips. One of my arms went to play with her hair, that just happened to go well with her room, and her lips…

After what felt like too short, we both pulled away panting for breath. I looked at the clock, it was 5:00 yikes.

I leaned my forehead against hers and smiled. She smiled back. After a few minutes our breathing finally went back to normal.

"I have to go. And you have homework."

She sighed, "I know. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

I nodded my head, "Can I pick you up from school? It's on my way anyways."

"Um, sure. Thanks. So I'll see you then."

She moved off my lap and I got up. I was about to walk out of the room but before doing so I ran back to the bed and just gave her one last kiss.

"Okay, I'm going now."

I walked out of the room and then headed downstairs, but then I heard Abigail scream, "Wait!"

I turned around and she flew down the stairs, "How are you getting home?"

I smiled, "Oh, I'm running. Vampires can run extra fast."

"Oh," then she smiled, "You'll have to take me running one day."

I bowed and she laughed, "It would be my honor."

I pulled her in for one more kiss and then stepped away. I opened the door and waved back to her, she waved back and smiled. Then I went running back home.

Everyone was back by the time I got home. I groaned, they probably all knew about Abigail by now, and they were bound to make fun of me for it. Well, I guess it won't be so bad…

I walked into the living room to find everyone except grandpa watching a movie on the couch. Grandpa had to work tonight. When I walked into the room everyone turned to me.

"What?"

Then Emmett said, "Anthony has finally found a girl, something that I thought would never happen."

I started for the stairs, "I'll be in my room."

"You got a girl up there?"

Then I heard my mom, "Give him a break Em."

"I'm just saying."

Growling, I went upstairs to my room. Once there I plopped myself down on the bed.

Mmmmm…

It still smelled like her. The perfect mix of the ocean and honey. Such an odd, yet perfect and amazing combination. Before I knew what was happening I felt my eye lids shut and pictures of Abigail flooded my mind.

I still have not yet gotten my 10 reviews, and it's making me really sad. :(. I have midterms all week, and I'm having a New Year's Party at my friends house next weekend, so I don't know when I'll be able to update next, but within this week for sure! Please TEN reviews. Thanks for reading! I hope that you guys enjoyed!
