Chapter 4

I woke up and laid there reflecting on my dream. I needed a cold shower!

Once I had my head straight. I decided since it looked like it was going to be a nice day I would go out and by some plants for my yard.

I drove thru the town looking for a place to by plants. I stopped at this little shop that had a few bush's but nothing I wanted.

I jumped when I felt someone touch my shoulder. It was Jacob. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"oh, looking for some plants for my house."

"You should go visit the green house in LaPush, they have the best bushes and flowers around."

"Oh, yeah, well how do you get there?"

"Well, it would be easier to show you since you're new to the area"

"How about I follow you to your house and we drop off you car and I'll take you."

I pulled into my drive way and grabbed my purse and jumped into Jacobs car.

"You'll love the drive it's very pretty."

I watched out the window and saw all of the beautiful forest as we drove along.

"So what do you think?"

"I love it, I wish I would have looked more, maybe I could have found a house here."

"Well I hate to burst your bubble but , this is part of the reservation, they only way you could have lived here was if you were from our tribe."

"well that sucks." I said.

He smiled and said "yeah that does suck." "I would love to have you closer to me." Then he reached over tucked the lose hair behind my ear. As he took his hand away he reached over and rubbed his hand across my cheek.

I blushed when he said that and from the way he touched me. Maybe he was feeling the same thing. Could I get this lucky? Well I dont think getting "lucky" will be a problem. But how about to find the right guy.

We pulled up to the greenhouse, I was amazed. They had so many flowers. I was glad I ran into Jacob.

We spent the afternoon looking around and he helped me decided what to buy.

We walked by these purple rose bush and I stopped.

"Would this do well at my house?" I asked " I love this bush, it has such beautiful shades of purple."

He reached over to touch the petals on the bush next to my hand.

As he brushed my hand he smiled at me and said" yeah they are beautiful, but it doesn't compare to you."

I blushed again for about the millionth time today.

Was I that gullible, or did he just know what to say. I bet he's some kind of player, he's just to smooth.

"Hey, do you want to go to the beach and watch the sunset. There's nothing like watching the sun set from the beach. It's really beautiful."

"Sure, I guess. I have never taken the time to watch the sun set before."

"Well your in for a surprise."

We loaded my flowers into his car and headed to the beach.

He parked and said let me grab the blanket from the back.

Now I know he's a player if he carried a blanket in the back of his car for such occasions.

We walked down on to the sand. We both sat on the blanket and watched the sun set.

As the sun went down I started to get cold.

He must have seen me shiver from the cold and pulled off his sweat shirt and handed it to me.

"Thanks wont you get cold? I asked.

"Nah, I'll be fine, I'm always warm."

"Wow, look at those colors "I said as I leaned over to point. He leaned into me to see where I was pointing to. His face was so close to mine. I could feel the heat pouring off of him.

We sat there and he was pointing out the drift wood that had landed on the beach and told me how they used this wood in their bonfires and explained the colors it put off when it burned.

"Wow, that must be beautiful." I said and looked at him. I realized that his face was just inches from mine and I had not even noticed how he put his arm around me while he was pointing out things to me.

I had wondered why I had gotten warmer. It must be that we were so close. I could feel his breath on my cheek. I turned to him, I was just going to do it. I wanted to kiss him and see if it was going to be as good as I dreamed it was.

I didn't even have to try, as soon as I turned my face he leaned in and kissed me.

It was like pure bliss. His soft warms lips pressed mine. He pulled me closer and as he did his kiss got deeper. He reached his free hand and begun to caress my cheek. I felt electricity between us.

I began to respond and pressed my lips to his.. It was like our lips were made for each other. I didn't even have to think about what to do. It just happened.

When we broke loose we were both breathing hard. I knew then I was in love. I had to have him no matter what the cost.

"That was nice" he said. All I could do was nod my head. I didn't trust my self to talk. I wanted to just throw myself in his arms. "I have to admit something."

"What ?"I asked.

"I've been dying to do that all day long!" he said

"Well I have to admit that I've been dying for you to do that all day long too!"

We both laughed and fell back on the blanket.

As we lay there with my head on his arm he said, "isn't the ocean beautiful! I think that someday I would like to travel across it. It would be a great adventure!"

"Yeah, well were would you want to go?" I asked.

"Europe." he replied

"Why Europe?" I asked cautiously

"It's such old country, Older than here. We have a great rich history, but I feel like there is something I'm missing. Well not as much since I met you, but like there's something more." he said sadly

"Well, I guess there's always something to learn from the past, but I'm not real good with the past." I said.

I was trying to change the subject when I said "Wow, it gets dark fast here. I guess I won't be planting anything tonight."

" Oh, well I guess we had better get you home and unload your plants."

We got in the car and took off back to town.

I didn't want things to be awkward so I tried to keep talking.

"Yeah. I guess I 'll have to plant these tomorrow. Would you like to come help me?" I asked.

"Sure" he said, "but I can't come over until the afternoon, we have a job tomorrow. There's and older couple moving in a few streets over from you."

"Oh, okay, well I'm sure I can find things to keep busy until you get there. I still don't have everything unpacked." I tried not to sound to disapointed.

We pulled up to my house and parked. I started to get out and he said "wait a minute." I stopped and before I knew it he was opening the door for me. He reached in his hand and helped me out.

We grabbed all of the plants and set them up on the sidewalk.

I got out my key and went to the door. I unlocked the door and turned around. I kissed him on the cheek and said "Thanks for the sunset, it was beautiful."

"you're welcome, I'll see you tomorrow."

I floated up to my room and changed into my pajamas. I laid there thinking about the kiss we shared.

It was magical. I wanted him to kiss me like that again, no not again, everyday.
