Alright so how were those last two so far?

Thanks to blahblahblah for reviewing! Hope you like the next chapter!

Btw, if you hadn't already realized, I am not Stephenie Meyer and I don't own Twilight. Although I wish I did :)


Later that day I asked Christian what he thought about that awkward introduction.

"Did you think it was weird? I didn't." he replied.

"Really? I felt so strange. Like we intruded upon them or something. Did you see how quickly they left when I tried to introduce myself?…Maybe, it was just me they didn't like." I said, disgruntled, as I remembered the harsh look on Edward's face.

"I think you're just really worried about meeting everyone and that's why you're working yourself up. There's really no reason why any would dislike you. You're great. Perfect, actually. And all mine!" He smiled as he leaned over to kiss me.

"Maybe you're right. I guess I am sort of anxious… So who am I going to meet now?" I asked, trying to lighten up the mood.

"No one, actually. I'm taking you to one of my favorite spots. La Push Beach."

Alright! Finally something right up my alley I thought. Then I remembered that we were in Washington and there was no way a visit to the beach would be pleasant right now.

"Um, Chris, do you really think now is the best time? Couldn't we wait until there's actual sun?" Although that might be for several weeks, I thought, annoyed.

"Oh. C'mon, it'll be great. I bet there's no one else there and we can take a romantic stroll along the beach, uninterrupted." He said that rather suggestively and I had to laugh. Fog and cold were not in anyway romantic to me. But, Chris' enthusiasm was contagious and I really wanted to make him happy so I grabbed his hand and said, "Let's hit the beach!"

* * *

"Well, you were right."

"As usual."

"Let me finish," I said as I rolled my eyes, "this place is beautiful, and the solitude is very romantic." I said,hugging him tighter to me.

"See, I told you. It may not be California, and definitely not San Sebastián. But, it's got its own merits. So are you ready to go? I think we might be late for dinner at The Lodge if we stay longer."

"Ok." I said rather reluctantly. Surprisingly, I loved being alone on this beach. It was the first time I had been alone with Christian in a long time.

When we got to the car, I realized I had left my extra jacket on the beach. I had taken it off when we sat down on a beached tree. It wasn't necessary under the warmth of a thick blanket.

"Hey, Chris. I'll be right back. I left my jacket by the tree."

"Alright. But come back soon, we can't be late, remember?" He added, winking.

It was a bit of a walk back to the tree so I jogged in order to get back in time. But, as I approached the tree, I couldn't see my jacket. I had remembered laying it on the tree, but there was no sign of a black jacket anywhere. Well that was weird, I thought, as I approached the tree. I was sure no one else had been here but us. I looked around for a sign of another human being. I couldn't find anyone. I had nearly given up when I noticed a path leading up to a small cliff, perfect for getting a great view of the beach. As I started walking up the path I got distracted by the profusion of wildflowers surrounding me, so much so that I tripped over a hole and would have severely twisted my ankle if it hadn't been for a warm, strong hand that caught me before I could fall. I was about to say thank you when I realized that in the other hand was my black jacket.

Sorry for making all the chapters really short, but I like to stop and think about all the possibilities after everything that happens. It takes longer to write, but hopefull the end result is worth it. I'll get another one up soon!
