I Love You! Let's Forget the Past
How could a sister be so unkind to another? I would never be able to comprehend; I could see the pain and hurt in Mallory's eyes. I wanted to shield her from such a terrible heartache. She was devastated when she saw her sister creeping on us, with that asshole, she called husband. I swear that I could tell what kinda woman that Addivani was the minute I smelled her.
She was beautiful on the outside, but so damn rotten on the inside. I hated her smile, it was conniving and calculating. She was so determined to flaunt her husband in Moon's face, that I knew it cause her so much suffering. She was so different from her older sister. She was so cold and Moon was so warm and loving. It was hard to believe that they both came from the same parents.
It was ironic that Moon would fear her. She was stronger than that girl named Addivani. She could easily destroy her; snap her in two like a twig. Addivani was normal, she probably didn't have any special ability, but could live an eternity. Poor husband of her... not really; he is mainly the reason why Moon is so sad all the time.
Just staring at her longing face, while she stared at him, was enough to fill me with rage and make me phase. I was jealous beyond my control; for a second, I wanted to be him... The "him" that got to see her smile and love. But at the same time, I wanted to skin him alive and just destroy the asshole. How could he be so stupid to lose such a valuable and amazing young girl like her? How could he destroy my angel's pure and beautiful heart? Just thinking about it, made me angry.
She was the sun that gave life to everything in my life. She should love me and only me. I would erase all the memories of the tears she had cried. I would bathe her with love and shower her with kisses, until she was so weak on the knees that she could not stand on her own, but needed help from me. I wanted to take her away from here and make her forget all the suffering she had endured at the hands of her evil sister and that idiot, Rick or Rene or was it Robert... I didn't give a damn; I just wanted them gone from our path.
I pictured Moon writhe under his body and I wanted to skin him alive. He was probably her first. That may be the reason why she suffered so much when she discovered him and her sister, fucking at the beach. I loathed that asshole, with such passion.
When I heard Addivani's voice, I couldn't believe how sweet and innocent it sounded. Her voice was soft and melodious. She looked so fragile and delicate, but in her eyes I could see that she was a witch, hiding in an angelical outfit. I hope to the stars that none of my pack brother ever imprint on her. She was beyond redemption. I wonder why she was so jealous and evil. What did Moon do to make her sister hate her? I doubt she did something; Moon could never hurt anyone. She was the definition of love and tenderness.
"What a coincidence!" a melodious voice shrieked from behind me. I was holding Mallory's hand, when I felt her tense up. Her body temperature is usually cool, but at the sight of her sister, her body temperature dropped down significantly.
Moon gazed up at me and smiled sadly at me. Her eyes were moist with unshed tears and I immediately knew that something was wrong. I just know when she was sad. I guess is the magical bond that unites us. I know when she is suffering and when she is happy.
"Yes," Moon said, placing her cool hand on my waist. "It's really a coincidence, Addison. Who would have thought that we run in to each other?" she said feigning to be cheerful.
I stiffed at the mention of Addison's name. It left a sour taste in my mouth. I straightened my back and stood in my full height. I turned to face Addivani and her husband. They had to crane their necks, just to stare at me; did they fear me? He should! I could skin him alive and truly become a savage!
I hated him and I wished with all my heart that Mallory forgot him. I narrowed my eyes when I saw that he was a fucking wimp, hiding behind his wife's skirt. He should show some fucking backbone, at least, be a man and say hello to the woman that you truly love. I could tell that he was unhappy. I didn't give a damn, though. I just pity the idiotic fool for having Addivani as his wife.
I started to tremble with anger, but Moon had her hand over my chest and I tensed. She wanted to know what I was thinking. I should have warned her that it wasn't safe at the moment, to prod inside my mind. Right now, the thought of killing him was palpable. I wanted to rip that idiot in to tiny pieces for hurting her.
"It's alright, Embry, calm down! I don't love him anymore." she said telepathically.
"How could I be sure of that, Moon?" I thought sadly, wishing that it was only us two in the world. I wanted to find a way to make her love me.
I forced a smile, as I looked down at her beautiful face. "I only want you! Let's get rid of them and continue on our fun adventure to find clothes for us!" she said, biting her quivering lip.
"It will be a pleasure, angel." I thought, cupping her face in my hands. I loved her with every fiber in my body. It was insane how crazy I was for her. I felt like a teenager again. When she smiled at me, I could feel the flock of butterflies in my stomach, starting to take flight, making me nervous when I held her in my arms.
"I'm Addivani Ochoa." Addivani said, extending her hand for me to shake it. "And you are?"
I wrapped my arms tightly around Moon and smiled politely at Addivani. "It's a pleasure to meet you." I said dryly, as I stared at her extended hand. There was no way in fucking hell that I was going to remove my hold on Moon. She was mine and I would defend her with all my strength. "I am your future brother-in-law."
She looked baffled. I would have laughed at her face, but I didn't want to stoop to her childish games. Reluctantly, she placed her hand on her side and the atmosphere became even tenser.
"Um, Luna and future brother-in-law, you have met my husband, right?" she asked, turning to face a very uncomfortable Ruben.
"No, I haven't met him." I said casually, without even bothering to release my arms from around Moon's waist. I gave him a scrutinizing stare and I could see him, shuffle uncomfortably on his feet.
I wanted to insult them, but I didn't want to sound jealous. No, I wanted to make them see how thankful I was for what they did to Moon (not the hurting part), because in a way, their actions are what brought My Moon closer to me.
"But I do know that you took him from your sister! I must thank you, though." I said in an acerbic tone.
"Excuse me?" she asked surprised. Her brown eyes opened widely as she stared at us.
"Oh, you heard me perfectly, Mrs. Ochoa!" I said mockingly, trying hard not to laugh at the expression that she had on her face. "I really do thank you. If it wasn't for your jealousy and covetous ways, I would not have ended with such a lovely angel." I said, kissing Mallory softly on the lips.
I turned to face Ruben. His hands were clenched tightly into fists. He was angry and I could tell that he wanted to decapitate me on the spot. I wanted to see him try it. It would be my pleasure, but I knew that Mallory would be devastated if I hurt him.
"Thank you, Ruben! Your idiocy in letting go of such a marvelous and wonderful woman was my gain. I found my better half! If you guys don't mind now, we have things to do. Hopefully, the next time we do see each other again; it will be at our wedding!"
That was the best polite comeback ever! I bet that Jake would be so fucking proud of me! It was a fucking monumental moment for me! I got to see the faces on those two and it was a moment of celebration. I couldn't believe that Mallory didn't smack my arm, for hurting her sister.
I held her tightly to my side and nodded my head at the stunned couple. They couldn't believe what I had said, neither could I. But I needed them to know that Moon was not alone. I was here, to protect her and watch over her. We walked passed them and I could hear Moon's speeding heart. I was hoping that it was not caused by being so closed to that idiot of Ruben, but because she felt something for me. I wanted to be the reason that she loved and breathe for. I sighed when we were far away from them.
"Are you OK?" I asked nervously, preparing myself for the wave of insults that were definitely gonna come from her mouth. But nothing came out of her lips, she just simply nodded and wrapped her tiny arms around me and sighed.
"Thank you." she smiled beautifully. "You defended me and I felt so protected in your arms." she said, tears falling down her face. She wasn't mad at me. My heart softened and I couldn't help smiling at her.
"That's why I am here for you! I am here to protect you and keep you safe." I confessed, kissing her creamy forehead.
I was not expecting her to kiss me, but she did. I don't know exactly what I did right, but she kissed me. I was content. Mallory Moon kissed me and I felt the world stop spinning and I said, what I promised not to say, until she was ready to reciprocate the feeling.
I cupped her face in my hands and stared down in to her green eyes. "I love you Mallory Moon!" I said, bringing my lips to her.
"I l-l... um, like... love you!" she said, pushing away from me and clasping her mouth with her hands. "Um, I am sorry. I know you think I don't... love you... um, well, but I do. I didn't mean to just say it. I-I, um, I am sorry, Embry. I don't mean to lead you on... but, I do love you. Just not in the way, you want me to love you."
I kissed her hard on the lips and placed my arm around her shoulder. I was hurting; her words had cut deep into my already bleeding and aching heart. "It's alright. I know that it just slipped, but please, don't take it back. I can't ..." I trailed off when she placed her index finger on my lips.
"It didn't slip. I meant it. I just didn't want to say it. Not yet! Not until, you are the only one that I love and occupies my heart completely." she said, resting her head on my chest.
"You still love Ruben, right?" I asked her wearily.
She shook her head and stared fixedly into my eyes. I was bracing myself for the pity speech. It was going to be hard, but I was going to fucking take it like a damn man.
"I don't love him anymore." she said quickly. My heart skipped a beat. She didn't love him anymore? "I still care for him. I bet he is suffering because of Addivani, but... I do care for him, Embry." she said honestly.
Damn, this was hard. I could feel my heart sinking deeper inside my chest. Those damn beautiful green eyes were the window to her soul. They just couldn't lie to me. She was being completely honest. She still cared for that idiot. She should step on his memories and replace them with mine.
Oh, man, my heart was hurting. I didn't want to share with him a place in her heart. I wanted to be the only one for her. I was being selfish, but what was the sense of imprinting on her, if she was not going to love me, with the same intensity as I loved her. Imprinting hurts! It sucks and it hurts more than being kicked in the damn balls!
"Hush, Embry. Don't say that! It hurts me, too." she said, her hand still on my forearm. "I don't want to cause you all this trouble. I want to love you. It's just painful to see him with her. It hurts that he chose her over me! Addivani is better than me at everything. She takes everything from me. I bet that she could find a way to steal you from me, too." she said, closing her eyes, as tears fell down her face.
"She can't take me away from you!" I said softly, kissing her lips. "I am yours! There is no way in hell, that I would let her take me away from you, beautiful."
"You don't understand. She has a power to manipulate man." she said desperately. "She can just touch you and she makes you do anything that she wants. She has taken so much from me. I don't want her to take you too. I would die." she sobbed softly.
Why did she cry for me?
"Because I love you. I swear that I do. I know that I may switch back and forth between my feelings, but I do love you. I feel safe in your arms and those two months that I was away, I never stopped thinking about you. You were always present in my heart. I cried for you. I cry, because I fear that she is going to take you away from me."
I nodded and sighed. "Why didn't you come to me, during those two months?" I asked her sadly. "Why did you leave me for so long? I was hurting too."
"I love you, Embry. I know in my heart that I do. I just need enough time to sort certain things first. I don't want to use you. It has never been my intention to use you. But, something happened. I did something that I still regret, because I know that when I tell you... you'll hate me. I fear that you will never want to speak to me." she wept.
"I can't hate you." I told her, holding her hand softly in mine. "Whatever happened, it's part of the past and it should stay there."
She squeezed my hand tightly and cried. "Let's sit down. I want to tell you. I need to get it off my chest. If I don't I won't be able to look you in the eyes." she said, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.
Damn, today was supposed to be our day out. It was our first date as boyfriend and girlfriend. Nothing was working out. Everything was turning in to shit. I thought that we could have fun, but this damn day, was turning more tedious and ominous as the minutes ticked by.
We walked hand in hand and sat in a private corner of the mall. She sighed nervously and smiled weakly at me. I wonder what was going through her precious mind. For a minute, I wanted to be Edward, just to know what she was thinking.
"OK, what is so important that we have to talk about?" I asked, running my hand through my face. I was bracing myself for the news. I wasn't going to yell at her, phase-that definitely, was not a wise thing to do! - or push her away. We were going to try to fight against the current, until she loved me, and we became one beating heart. I would not give up on her.
"Em," she began, licking her lips anxiously. "I kissed a guy before you." she whispered, tears falling down her precious, creamy face. Damn, that hurt even more!
"Before me?" I asked confused.
She nodded and a new bout of fresh tears began to fall down her face. "I don't really care. If it was before yesterday, I don't give a damn." I told her, feeling my hands clamming up from the sweat. I felt my mouth go dry and I wanted to punch someone.
"It was a few weeks ago. I kissed him, he was just there, but I wanted to vent my frustration, so I ended up kissing him. I wanted to erase you from my heart and I wanted to bury Ruben's face. I was desperate. I wanted to forget you!" she said dejectedly.
She scooted closer to where I was sitting and took my large hand in hers. "I don't want to keep secrets from you! I want to be able to open up and just tell you what I am thinking. I don't want to push you away. Promise, that you'll still love me when you find out who I kissed, please!"
I laughed when I remembered; Jared Jay. He had told me one night that he had kissed Moon. He was begging for forgiveness and whatnot. I wasn't so forgiving with him, as I was going to be with her. I had bitten him, dragged him and beat his fucking ass, and then accepted his apologies. I had been so fucked up back then, that I felt betrayed by my good friend... I could see his memories of that kiss. He was surprised by her kiss. He showed me that he didn't mean to kiss her back. He just wanted to forget his long unrequited love, Sarah Rosalice Black. It was all in the past. I had forgiven him and her that same night. She didn't need to apologize to me anymore. It happened long ago! From today forward, it was only us two. I loved her and I didn't like to see her cry. I know that keeping that secret for so long, was hard on her.
"I forgive you, baby girl." I smiled. "Just kiss me. Kiss me, until I can't breathe anymore." I said.
She grinned at me and I kissed her lips softly. She parted her lips, and I took it as an invitation to slip my tongue and taste the intoxicating wine of her mouth. She tasted like sweet fire that slowly burned my soul. It was useless to fight it. I wanted her and I needed to feel her passion. I wanted to make her erupt with longing and love for me.
"Forget Jared Jay's and Ruben's lips. Think of me only, Moon. I want you to only love me. Please, I need to be the only man for you." I begged in my head.
"I will," she said against my lips. "I will!" she moaned. She kissed me fervently and cupped my face gently in her hands. "I do love you! I just need to love you more, until my heart aches, when you aren't close to me." she whispered.
