I got this odd feeling like there was someone else in the room with us. I looked around and just saw Matt with me.
" Check outside." He said. I got up and went to the front door. I opened it and looked around outside. Something in the woods caught my eye. I looked to the tree line and saw a guy with his head hung low and hands at his sides walking toward the house His black hair looked as if it was wet and fell in front of his face. I smiled as Brydon stepped though the tree line.
" Brydon!" I yelled surprised to see him here. He looked up to see me. I was in his arms before I knew it. I had my arms around his neck, my fingers tangled in his, jet-black damp, hair. My legs we wrapped around his waist. His arms were tightly around me. Our chests were hard against each other's. I didn't think about doing any of it until it was already done. Surprisingly I was okay with all of it.
" Hi." He breathed.
" I can't believe you're here." My grip tightened around him.
" I can't believe your letting me hold you like I am." He said.
" Look at me! I'm clinging to you." I laughed a little bit.
" I don't mind. You smell really good, like peaches."
" You like the smell of peaches?" I asked
" I love the smell of peaches."
" I thought you said human food tastes horrible." I said
" It does. Peaches taste bad now but when I was human I LOVED them. I bet you would taste better though."
" I'm willing to let you try to see what I taste like." Whoa! Did I really just say that?
" You have no idea how badly I want to see what you taste like but I'm going to have to pass right now. Your boyfriend is heading this way and he's not very happy." Brydon said.
" I'm not talking to him right now."
" Why?"
" He said you should die."
" Well that's not a very nice thing to say."
" No it's not. He doesn't even know you." I put my feet on the ground.
" Do you want me to let go of you? He's coming out of the house."
" Want, no. Should, yes." I said. He let go of me and I let go of him. WE took a step away from each other. I listened to what Tim was thinking.
" I really messed up this time. I hate it when she is mad at me. She does have a crazy strong point about not loving me. ( AN: She makes the point in The Truth) If only she knew it was true. I'm not about to tell her that I'm not in love with her. I never have been. If I do tell her she'll leave and I can't have her do that. I can't make out with a pillow. That would suck." He thought. I would have hard tears running down my face if I was human. I looked down at the ground shamefully. I could feel Brydon's confusion. He took my hand in his.
" What's wrong?" He whispered
" Nothing." I lied.
" I know you don't like lying to me." He said.
" Yeah I know. I know you don't like me lying to you." I said softly, looking into his soft eyes.
" Then tell me what's wrong."
" It was something he thought." I said and looked back down at the ground.
" Hey I want you to be happy." He said trying to lighten things up. I looked up at him.
" You of all people haven't been the most convincing about that." I said. I started to walk to the house. I felt a sharp tug on my arm and went flying back into Brydon's hard chest.
" I came here to see you and talk to you, okay? I came here because I couldn't stand not seeing your face anymore. You mean the world to me." He said softly looking me directly in the eyes. He kissed my neck and shoulder sending me into a daze. Wait. What just happened?
" Ember, what are you doing?" Tim asked walking closer to us, cutting off my train of thought.
" Brydon is here but you want him dead so were going for a run or something." I said quickly.
" You're talking to me." Tim said shocked, stopping in his tracks.
" Get over it. Were going now." I said.
" Ember I have to talk to you." Tim said.
" Not right now. We're going."
" Yes right now." Tim said. I turned to Brydon. He smiled and I listened to what he was thinking.
" Talk to him. I'll be right here. I won't go any were with out you. You're my world." He thought. I'm his world? He cares that much for me? Why does he care so much? He means it though. No one has ever told me that before. Not even Tim. But Tim is only a big fat liar. I shock my head 'no'. " You could tell him about how much he upset you or you could trash talk about me." Trash talk about Brydon?
" Never."
" Then tell him how you feel." He thought.
" Okay. You go inside and talk to Matt. He will be happy to see you." I said.
Brydon has no idea how much I don't want to talk to Tim. I thought I loved him but I guess not. I am ready to kill him right now. I couldn't help but hug Brydon for being so sweet to me. My hair fell to one side exposing my neck. Brydon smiled devilishly at me but restrained himself. He let go of me and went inside.
