Will's POV
I walked in the café after Bella, her purse in my hand along with her cellphone. Setting it down on a table, I sat in the booth with Cleo, Rikki, and Zane as the band began playing. Ever since graduation, Rikki and Zane had settled all that had happened to their relationship and now were nearly inseparable as he had his arm around her shoulder and the two began kissing. Cleo and I turned, awkwardly smiling at each other while we tried to look anywhere but the Rikki and Zane show.
Bella's voice rang throughout the café making my body shiver, and my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. She was the most beautiful girl in the world, and ever since we have become official I just always want to be with her. Somewhat like Rikki and Zane now. But there was a different feeling inside of me, one wanting me to protect Bella. Like tonight, with the full moon and all my stomach churned and for a little while now I have had a bad feeling about tonight and still I had no idea what to do.
When the comet almost hit earth, I knew I almost lost Bella for good, I mean the girls tell me everything about what happens and almost loosing Bella it's made me want to protect her from scientists and water and just everything that it all seems impossible.
Taking me from my thoughts Cleo's voice appears from behind me, "Will, since tonight's the full moon we were thinking you and Zane could come hang with us until around 12:00? Something to do and I've had this feeling that something's-"
"Going to happen," I finished ignoring the question and now began to stress about everything else.
"Will, what have you been thinking?" Cleo's voice became concerned but it was just hard to explain, like I was frozen and couldn't get the words out.
"Yeah, Cleo I'd love to go,"
"Will, are you okay?" Cleo began.
"Yeah, I don't know, I have just been kind of paranoid lately, I don't want anything to happen to Bella, or you, or Rikki."
"I know what you mean, Will." Cleo turned, as if she felt me and felt my feelings. The crowd turned quiet and I looked up to the stage just as someone's hands wrapped around my vision.
"Guess who," the voice was whimsical and sweet. Of course I knew the voice it was the best sound in the world, so instead of telling her, I turned around in my seat pulling her lips to mine. My heart began beating fast and then slow all at the same time and it felt like we stood there forever as I held her delicate face in my hands.
When we finally pulled back, her smile spread and along with it so did mine. She moved over and sat between me and Cleo as the two girls talked about Bella's whereabouts. Zane and Rikki had managed to stop for air as they sat, starring out at nothing.
Suddenly, Cleo bounced up from her seat on the inside of the booth. It was as though she was racing to save someone; Stepping over Bella and I to get out of the seat she ran to the beaded curtains at the door. A figure stood in the doorway just as she managed to wrap her arms around him, the faint smile of a friend whispered through me.
Lewis was home for the summer.
