Renesmee POV
So it's been about two months since my getaway with Leah and we have become really good friends. Surprising enough she has even kept her promise about talking to Jake, well I know she talks to him but he still has no clue where to find us. She tells me that he's looked all throughout Texas and California and other coastal states but to no avail. This is exciting.
We've been picking up some Spanish, since the city is so close to Mexico, and making Jake think South America. He is frustrated but so was I, for far too long.
Lately we've been running low on cash so Leah and I got jobs at a local restaurant, called Jalisco's, where I was a waitress and she was the hostess. They served Mexican food, which tasted so exotic to Leah that she ate something different on the menu everyday.
That is where she is at now, while I had the day off I decided to go exploring the sand dunes at the beach. With my toes in the sand I had found a perfect hiding spot, it looked like it had once been used for a campfire, but the tide had eventually drowned everything out. I laid out in the center and must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know I wake up with the sun almost down.
The purple and orange hues glow together in the most beautiful way. I'm stuck in this amazement when I first hear the noise. It's a strange rustling noise of someone who is not afraid of being caught. Also, I hear music, muffled by something but my ears picked it out easily enough. Quickly going into vamp mode, I hide in the brushes and try smelling out the predator. Salt water, minerals in the sand…AHA, I smelt him. He had a salty, earthy smell on him and yet there was sweetness to his scent. I had never experienced this scent, it was almost unbearable to resist.
I knew there was no danger in me biting him, maybe I should wait. No, I couldn't explain what I was doing or why I suddenly just bit him. Keep the secret, keep the secret, keep the secret. A sea breeze brought his scent even more strongly into my mind. I couldn't control my own body. My mind screamed at me to leave, to think of dad or mom, hell to think of Jacob, but my body would only listen to instinct, and although I may be half human, I am also half vampire. I waited.
The boy was not a boy at all, far from it. He looked like he was in his late teens or possibly his early twenties. He was dressed for running, just simple basketball shorts and a muscle shirt. His hair was jet black and he had blue eyes, Oh gosh, he was gorgeous! This guy stops in the middle of the spot where the fire was supposed to be and started rustling around his pockets. Pulling out a match, he lit the few twigs there and went to look for more.
This was my chance to leave, but of course, being a Cullen, I didn't. I tempted myself and stepped just in the perimeter of the area and sat down staring at the fire. The guy walks back in and takes off his headphones and sits down. He had this smile about him that was so open and free, like no one was watching him.
I realized quickly how this was wrong, his scent was dangerous to me and I could not prolong my curiosity for long, I stood up to vamp out and run to Leah to tell her everything, but my half human clumsiness kicked in and I stepped on a stray twig and it snapped.
The boy quickly looked up, "I'm sorry, I was just leaving I didn't mean to bother you. Please don't get up to leave, I was just admiring the sun and I fell asleep. I swear don't mind me, I don't mean to intrude." Oh my goodness, just Shut up Renesmee you are probably freaking him out.
"No it's ok. Really, it's just I didn't notice you. Hi, I'm Daymian. Who are you?" Wow, he speaks. His voice is rough like a human, but to any normal girl, it would have been the best voice, so velvety and eloquent.
"I'm Renae," Leah and I decided not to use our actual names, in case my family or Jake came close to finding us, "and I'm really sorry but I have to go. My friend is probably looking for me right now. Good bye Daymian."
I ran out as humanly as I could and, against his protests, didn't stop to wait for him. As soon as I was out of his sight I went into vamp mode and jetted back home to Leah.
"Where have you been?" Leah looked a little agitated that I was gone so long, but oh well, I needed to talk to her.
"Don't worry about that. I just met this boy."
