"I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk,
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception
you are the only exception"
Dinner went by smoothly, of course there was Embry and Quil fighting over who got to have the last potato which ending in them both fighting over who was the best at COD. I swear, those boys were thrown against a wall as babies. Emily and co were in the kitchen washing up while I was collecting the remains of the glasses listing to everyone's conversations around the fire. Mrs. Call was fascinating about the wedding with Mrs. Clearwater. Billy was talking about fishing with Sam and Jared, Embry and Quil were yet again fighting about something. Jacob was teaching Seth a new fighting move or whatever using Leah as a test subject. I watched everyone with a great smile on my face. These people were my family, I've known every single one of them since I was born, I was so blessed having these amazing people in my life.
"Bored yet?" I heard the husky voice of Paul ask me
"Yes." I whined setting the glasses back on the table.
"Let's go into the forest." He said with a big grin on his face that usually meant he was up to no good. He led me into one of the deepest points of the forest that surprisingly didn't take that long to reach, and it wasn't as much of a struggle. There was a big field filled with small white flowers, it also had a small lake, surrounded by rocks. It was beautiful, we sat down on the bed of flowers, near to the lake which has reflecting the full moon. It looked like we were in some kind of scene from a movie, everything was perfect, there was even a few fireflies buzzing around giving us a soft glow.
"This place is beautiful." I told him as he took a seat next to me.
"No nearly as beautiful as you are" He stated, with a serious look on his face. I blushed and laughed a bit, we sat in silence, just watching the fireflies fly around us. I gently rested my head on Paul's shoulder feeling the heat on my left cheek, it felt nice, like that is what I'm meant to feel like. I smiled to myself, knowing that I'm finally letting go of all that anger, regret, and hurt.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" I said lifting my head off his shoulder, turning so I was facing him.
"Can I kiss you?"
My whole body froze, my heart was beating ten billion miles an hour. It felt like it was going to fall out, butterflies flew around the pit of my stomach. I could feel the redness grow in my cheeks, not from the heat of his shoulder, but from the nerves he gave me by just looking at me. I nodded slowly after realising I had been staring at him for quite sometimes now. I grabbed both of my tiny hands, lifting me off my bottom to stand up. He towered over me, I looked up into his brown hazel eyes, he looked at me wearing a smile. He started leaning down, becoming almost level with me. I could feel the heat from his face when he became almost inches away from my face. He placed his forehead on mine, as he intertwined our fingers with his left hand, and moved a piece of my hair with his right. Slowly he placed his hot, soft lips on mine. I was shocked at first, shocked at how right it felt. How perfect he was, I closed my eyes slowly pulling my hands over his neck. I needed him, I kissed back deeply. Once slight, innocent kiss, turned into such passion and lust for each other. His arms around my waist slowly lifted me off the ground, I melted into his arms. Feeling more safe and secure than I ever have before.
He sneaked into my room that night, once Sam had left for a late night patrol and Emily had gone to bed, it was very late, but I couldn't go to sleep. My tummy still hadn't calmed down after what happened in the forest, I realised how much I have missed him. How much I was kidding myself, saying I was better without him. I wasn't, I was horrible without him. We laid on my bed, my head resting against his arm, which laid around me.
"So what now?" He asked breaking the silence. I removed my focus from him playing with my hand up to his beautiful face.
"I think we go slow." I spoke
"Slow it is" He said leaning down giving me a soft kiss on the cheek. We fell asleep, his arm around my waist, me cuddling up to his chest. We used to do this a lot when we were together, it felt so right. But then again, everything with Paul felt right, I felt right when I was with him. Even though we agreed to go slow, I knew nothing would ever break us again. He was destined to be mine from the start.
The wedding day grew closer and closer. Emily was freakishly calm were as Sam had already given me five of the 'You and Jacob better be on your best behaviour' speeches. I told him about Paul and I taking it slow, he beamed with happiness. Telling me that this would be the best decision I could ever make. Which made me question if he was in the relationship as well. Everyone noticed a change in me, I was smiling a lot more, like I did before. I even started to become more calm when it came to Embry and Quil. My parents were happy too, they said they couldn't wait to see Paul and I at the wedding, and to prepare to have one hundred photos taken of the both of us.
Taking it slow was more hard then I first imagined. I thought it would be for the best, because of what happened the first time. But I hated taking it slow, it meant that I couldn't be with Paul nearly every second of the day, we went out on dates and stuff on the weekends. But I wanted to see more of him, I found this urge from him to be a bit weird. Since I've shut off any kind of love for such a long time now, but being with Paul makes me forget all of that. I don't think about the past when I'm with him, I only think of our future. My mom says its a wonderful change, and I should embrace it, because no doubt Paul is feeling the same way.
"Hey beautiful." I turned around to see a shirtless Paul. Did I mention how more amazing he looked without a shirt on? He had five billion abs, and his arms, don't get me started on his arms. I could go on all day describing how hot he was. I smiled at him throwing my arms around his neck pulling him into a tight hug. He responded by gripping his arms around my waist lifting me off the ground as he usually does, he swung be around in a slow circle, I laughed into his shoulder which caused him to laugh as well. Slowly he placed me back on the ground and gave me a light kiss on the forehead.
"I have something for you." He said with a smile. I looked at him confused, he wasn't holding anything? He turned me around so he was facing my back. I felt a small object being placed on my chest area, I looked down and saw a very familiar heart shaped necklace sitting perfectly as if I was born to wear it. I touched it softly with my hands as he tied it up at the back. Once he was done I turned around with a big smile on my face.
"Thank you" I whispered pulling him down into another passionate kiss, which got broken off by Jacob standing in my bedroom doorway. I frowned at him as I asked what the hell he wanted.
"I need your help, remember how you used to make those bracelets?" Jacob asked giving Paul a dirty look. I released my hold of Paul, nodding in agreement
"Well I need you to make one for me, I wanna give it to Bella as a graduation present. And I know its a while away, I just want to have to ready."
I really didn't want to have anything to do with Bella. She was a bitch, she was just leading Jacob on. Making him think she loves him, or she's gonna chose him. We all can see it, she is going to go with that pale ugly ass vampire, and Jacob will be broken again. And who's gonna have to put him back together? Me. "Sure, I'll start making it tonight" I told him, he was my best friend, I couldn't say no to him.
"And Emily said you have my suite for tomorrow here?"
"Oh yeah!" I walked over to my closet and pulled out his suite for the wedding. "Come by tomorrow and I'll fix your tie for you." I instructed, he nodded thanking me with a hug then left. My life was good, I had a amazing family which were coming home later on tonight, and a amazing best friend.
"Savannah?" Paul spoke
"Yeah?" I asked turning around to face him.
"Be my girlfriend?" He asked quickly while scratching the back of his neck. I walked over to him kissing him on the lips and throwing my arms around his neck. I rubbed the back of his neck while answering yes. I now had a amazing boyfriend too.
