*Sorry for the wait yet again! School is kicking by butt.

Ch.5

The First week of school had to be the best week of my existence. It went kind of like this…

Tuesday: Seth asked for my phone number

Wednesday: Seth persistently asks me if he could give me rides to and from school. By the end of the day I agreed to it. Once I saw his car I asked him how a kid and a little town is able to afford a Lexus. He just laughed his beautiful deep laugh and replied, "Hand me down from a friend."

Thursday: Seth starts walking me to all of my classes. Introduces me to his friends Jared and Kim (closest couple I've met in my life), Paul( funny, but a huge a hothead), Brady and Collin ( always cracking jokes), Embry ( quiet but thoughtful) , and Quil ( was on the phone the whole time; asked Seth who he's talking too and he said Claire; must be someone that lives in Forks.)

Which brings us to Friday. The day Seth Clearwater asked me out on a date. It was the last period of the day and I was explaining to him how this weekend couldn't have come fast enough! He laughed along with me but stopped abruptly when we reached my locker. He had looked like he was concentrating so I decided not to say anything; I would make it awkward if I did. Seth hesitated then said, "Ava…what are you doing on Saturday?" I knew where he was going with this but many teen magazines say don't ask desperate "Don't know. Maybe unpack some more, watch some movies…" he shook his head and chuckled like he knew my tactic. "How does he get me and we've known each other for five days?" "Would you like to go out on a date? With me?" Seth asked nervously. Ahhhhh cute! I smiled at his nervousness, "I would absolutely love to Seth!" With the look on his face it seemed like he was trying not to jump for joy! "Really?" he asked. I nodded my head slowly. "Okay! Well I'll see you in a couple minutes at my car? I have to go to my locker." "Yep" I replied, "see you in a couple minutes." We hugged and he turned the corner with an extra pep in his step. I laughed to myself and turned to open my locker. Someone pounded on the locker next to mine making me jump! Of course, it was Noelle. We had become close over the week and she had introduced me to her friends Nicky, Sarah, Talissa, and Emily. They were real cool and nice and we all had a lot in common. We had planned on having a slumber party on Saturday night so I could get to know them more. "You scared the crap out of me Noelle!" She started laughing so hard that she slid down the lockers and started rolling on the floor. I shook my head and laughed with her. She suddenly stops laughing and jumped off the floor. "Are you going to join us ladies at Improv club today milady?" she asked in a British accent. I rolled my eyes and went back to putting my binders in my backpack. "Sorry, but I have a date on Saturday and need tonight to start preparing." I said with a smile." HOLD UP! Did you just say date? With who?" I knew she was joking by the way she wiggled her eyebrows. "Mike Stand. A kid in my Math class" I replied with a straight face. We looked at each other and started to crack up laughing! "Well have fun you lucky duck! Would you like to borrow my tutu for this event?" she asked. "Nah" I said "Think I'm going to go tutuless for this one!" Noelle nodded her head, "alrighty then. Send me a pic of what you're going to wear and will all discuss your date later that night!" "Okey Dokey then" I said. We looked at each other and started screaming and happy dancing. After a couple seconds we abruptly stopped and walked the other way. It was a thing me and her started doing when we were happy. We would randomly scream and dance then walk away and act like nothing happened. Ignoring the stares I got I walked out the door of LaPush High.

After school Seth pulled into the front of my house and turned off the engine. I was about to open the door when he cleared his throat. I settled back into my seat. "Does five sound okay? For the date I mean." He asked hopefully. I smiled "five is fantastic". Seth smiled, "text you later then." I nodded my head and opened the car door. "And Ava?" I turned back around, "Yeah Seth?" "I can't wait for our date" he said with a smile. I smiled right back "Me either Seth." I really meant it, Saturday couldn't come fast enough! I walked up to my door and unlocked it. I stepped in and called for my mother. Like always, she didn't answer.

After eating dinner by myself I went upstairs to find something to wear for tomorrow. Thing is, I didn't know were we were going! So I texted Seth to ask him.

What should I wear 4 r date? Dressy or casual? He replied in 2 minutes.

Def Dressy

I smiled to myself Kay! I texted back. I opened my closet and pulled out every dress I owned. After two hours of going back and forth between a black lace dress with hot pink fabric underneath and a cream knee length tulle skirted dress. I settled on the cream dress with nude pumps, diamond stud earrings, and my gold Juicy Couture Bracelet from my fifteenth birthday last year. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and sent a picture to Noelle. She instantly replied.

So cute! Still thnk the tutu would've been cuter tho!

LOL I replied maybe next time. I through my phone on the bed and fell next too it.

I was running for my life on Temple Run when I heard the garage door open up, taking my attention from the game and causing those vulture looking things to kill me. I ran downstairs and placed my mom's plate in the microwave and poured her a glass of wine. My grandma knew my mom would always be busy so she had taught me how to cook so I could take care of us. My mom opened the door to our garage and dropped her load on the floor. I sighed out loud. Like always, she would forget it was their and I would have to put it away. "Ava?" "In the kitchen mom!" I yelled. I pulled her plate out the microwave and placed it on the kitchen table I put her wine next to it and turned around when I heard her footsteps. She smiled at me and sat by her food. "I don't know what I would do without you Ava!" she said. I smiled at her and decided not to reply, we both knew, she would've probably been happily married and that night with some random guy would have never happened. We didn't talk for a couple minutes while she dug into her pasta. I cleaned the kitchen to pass time and waited for her to say something. After five minutes my mom asked "so how was your day at school?" "Good" I replied "Seth asked me out on a date." I looked through my bangs to judge her reaction. Her eyes got big but she didn't look mad. I had told my mother about Seth but she never really said anything. I know what she wanted to say, 'Ava you are moving way to fast. You just met him!' But she couldn't. At my age she was sleeping around with random guys and partying it up; that wasn't me. "Well that's great Ava! When?" "Tomorrow. At five." Her plate was empty so I took it and placed it in the dishwasher. "Well have fun sweetheart; I have to work tomorrow so I think I'm going to call it a night." My mom downed the rest of her wine then kissed me on my forehead. My mom sometimes had to work on weekends so I wasn't sad about it. I probably wouldn't see her until Sunday so I hugged her extra tightly. She gave me a tired smile and walked up the stairs. I heard the creak of the stairs as she walked up them and the slam of her door when she entered her room. Her bedroom was right above the kitchen so I also heard her turn on the shower, pull the shower curtain to the side, then close it back. I sighed, put her wine glass in the dishwasher and walked out the kitchen. I went up to my room to get some homework done before I went to asleep. I fell asleep after finishing homework with Seth residing in all of my dreams.

Since the date wasn't until five I slept until twelve. I woke up when my stomach pretty much started eating itself. I pushed the many blankets off of me and went downstairs to eat a bowl of cereal. I checked the time and decided I could watch a little TV, so I settled into the couch and watch repeats of 1000 Ways to Die. At two I thought it was time to start getting ready for my date. I went into my moms' bathroom to borrow her expensive bubble bath. When I found it I took it and put it in my bathroom. I grabbed my intimates and towels and walked into my bathroom. While the bath water ran I read an old Seventeen Magazine. When it almost reached the top I turned it off and stepped in. I closed my eyes and let relaxation take over. I was really nervous and getting a good night sleep was difficult. I really liked; maybe loved Seth and my wondering if he felt the same way constantly put me on edge. I finished up in the bathroom and checked the time on my phone. 3:30. Right on time! I sat at my vanity and applied one coat of mascara and natural eye makeup and blush. I plugged in the flat iron and finished my makeup while waiting for it to heat up. When the flat iron was ready I bumped my bangs and put the rest of my hair into a low side chignon. I looked myself over and decided I looked pretty good. I got up and slipped my dress on, then clasped my bracelet on my wrist. 4:30. Alright Ava your doing good on time. I picked out my black clutch and threw in some lip-gloss, mints, money, and my phone. I went down the steps and went straight to the kitchen. I didn't want to look greedy on my date! I warmed up some pasta from last night, ate it and ran upstairs to brush my teeth again and grab my shoes. 4:50.

I decided to clean up downstairs until Seth came. 4:59, the doorbell rang.

I looked in the mirror by the front door, took a deep breath, and opened the door. There stood Seth looking hotter then ever. He still had on his legendary pair of jeans but these were darker and he dressed it up with a nice dress shirt. I looked him up and down while he did the same to me. Seemed like he liked what he saw; his eyes were bulging out and his cheeks were turning a light red. "Come in Seth! It must be freezing out there!" His shirt was kind of thin and it had to be low forties out there. He walked in "Weather doesn't really bother me". I looked at him weirdly but he walked in like he didn't just say something weird. He had one of his hands behind his back so I tried to look behind it. He was too fast! He made it so his gift was no longer in my reach; it was in a bag so I couldn't tell what it was. I would have to try a new tactic, just asking. "Is whatever is in that bag for me?" Seth looked at me like I was crazy. "Nope! It's for your dog!" He said before looking around my house, "Salt n' Peppa; I have a treat for you!" "Weirdo, I don't have a dog!" He almost busted a gut laughing at my confused expression! "I know, just messin with you." Seth said. He told me to close my eyes; I heard the crinkling of the plastic bag and started bouncing on my heels. "Open em up Ava!" In his hands was the new Sarah Dessen book I had been talking his ear off about all week! "Oh my God Seth; thanks so much." In the short time we had known each other we had talked about a lot, it was nice to know that he even hung onto that little tidbit about myself. I think I love this guy. Wait! What did I just think? I shook my head. "Are you okay Ava?" Crap, he noticed. "Yep! Lets go!" I grabbed my coat out of the closet and my things off the floor by the door. Seth opened the door for me, and then closed it after. I went to go lock the door, but he smiled and took the keys out of my hand. I looked at him then ran to his car! He beat me to the car, even when I had a head start! "How are you so fast Clearwater?" He flashed me his million dollar smile, "Comes with the territory Aquene" I looked at him questionably while he opened the door, but he didn't elaborate.

The ride with Seth was quiet, but not uncomfortable at all. I was starting to settle in for the car ride when I remembered; I don't know where we were going! I sat up a little and looked out the window to try and guess where we were going. We were out of La Push, even out of Forks, so I guess were going to Port Angeles. I look over to Seth and see him smirking; he must've noticed my sudden movements. "So, are you going to tell me where were going" I wiggled my eyebrows at him, making him laugh. "We our on our way to La Bella Italia." "Oh Fancy!" He laughed again. I love making him laugh, I thought. I settled back into my seat "Have you been their before?" I asked him. "No, my friend Edward brought his wife here for their first date." His eyes grew huge with realization of what he had just said. "Not that were going to! If we did that would be great…" his eyes grew huge with realization again. "Not that I'm forcing you to! Ill just stop talking." I couldn't hold my laughter anymore and they came out in guffaws it was that funny! He started to laugh along with me then we settled back in our seats and went back to our comfortable silence.

When we pulled up to the restaurant is when I started to feel butterflies in my stomach. This is really happening. He was around the car and opening my door before I could even blink. I rolled my eyes while I got out and he chuckled. We walked into the restaurant and waited in a short line. It wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be since it was Saturday night. We got our tables rather quickly. The waitress, whose smile was a little bit too friendly and shirt a little too tight, brought us our drinks. "Are you ready to order" she faced only Seth and acted like I wasn't there. I rolled my eyes and decided to take action. I tapped on the chicks shoulder, she turned around with an annoyed look on her face "I would like to order you a bigger shirt- oops! I mean stuffed ravioli." She picked her jaw off the floor and wrote down my order. I looked at Seth to see him staring at me in awe, "I'll have two plates of spaghetti", he said without looking away from me. The waiter huffed and walked away. Seth shook his head and said 'jealous' underneath his breath.

Seth took a long sip of his Coke then looked straight at me. I was already staring at him when he looked up, so I looked down. He laughed at our awkwardness. I looked up through my bangs and saw him with his hand on the table facing upwards. He wanted to hold my hand. Looks like I'll be making the first move. Before I could change my mind I put my hand in his. We looked up at each other and smiled. Just holding his hand kicked my butterflies into high gear; but not because I was nervous. I was floating on a cloud happy! We both let out a sigh of relief for getting the awkward 'can I hold your hand thing' over with. From their it was smooth sailing.

*********************SETH*********************************

God she was beautiful. I felt bad for not saying anything but all I could focus on is her beauty. It was absolutely breathtaking, she had always taken my breath away with her beauty but tonight it was on a whole 'nother level. When we had got in the restaurant some slutty chick was our server. She had stayed a little too long for my liking just to ask what drinks we wanted. I had planned on kindly asking her to vacate the area but then Ave tapped on her shoulder and told her off! I couldn't help but smile. She was protective of me like I was of her. I don't think Ava noticed; but every male in the restaurant would at least look at her once. Whenever she would look down I would give the dudes a glare that could be fatal; they stopped looking at our table period. We made casual conversation till our food came then I started digging into my food like an animal! Crap! I'm on a date with my imprint and I can't even eat properly! I embarrassingly look up to see her smirking at me, "Sorry I haven't eaten since 3 pm." I guilty looked down and ate more slowly. "Seth?" I looked up "Yeah?" "There's very little you can do wrong." My eyes grew huge while she quickly looked down and blushed. "I feel the same way about you too Ava." She looked up and smiled at me. I finished my first plate of spaghetti in silence until Ava asked, "What's your favorite color?" I was about to eat another forkful of spaghetti but dropped it because of the timing of her question. "Uh…green?" I replied. She laughed at my hesitation. Our relationship never grew awkward after that.

We left the restaurant laughing our asses off! "So you followed this Jake guy around like a puppy?" I laughed at her choice of words, "Yeah I guess. I wanted to be just like him." "Your perfect just the way you our Seth" she said as I opened the car door for her. I love how our conversation could go from carefree to meaningful at a drop of a hat. The car ride back to LaPush went faster then I wanted it to be. Then we were in front of her house. I hopped out and jogged at a human pace to the passenger side to open her door. "Thanks" she said underneath her breath. In the back of my mind the whole car ride I debated if I should kiss her goodnight or not. I was definitely ready. Hell! When I imprinted on her I wanted to push everyone out of my way and kiss her right there and then! But that doesn't mean she's ready for it. I still had her key in my pocket so I handed it to her. "Thanks for taking me out Seth; I had the most amazing time." "Any time Ava." I replied sincerely. I turned around to walk away when she grabbed my hand and turned me around. First our eyes met then I bent my head down and she stood on her tippy toes to meet me halfway, just like our kiss was. Our lips met and it was like a new beginning. I couldn't help thinking, I love this girl. After the most blissful 15 seconds of my life Ava hesitantly pulled back. She didn't want to stop either. She gave me a shy smile then kissed me on my cheek. She laughed at my still stunned face. "Goodnight Seth." Then the love of my life shut the door, leaving me still speechless.
