I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and a vague memory of straddling Damon. When I sat up I felt dizzy and slightly confused and a little freaked out that there were 3 other people in my bedroom. I was so startled I screamed which caused the girls to laugh and then I pulled the sheet to my chest even though I was fully clothed from the waist up.
Why would they be here? Maybe Damon told them about what I did, and they came to laugh at me or tell me how stupid I was. Maybe they wanted all the details about his beautiful hard body. God it felt great to be in his arms and part of me wanted it to happen again. That was the crazy irrational part that was only allowed to come out once and then never again.
"Uncle Charlie let us in, said you were still sleeping." I nodded, still too stunned to speak. They laughed at me again while I shook my head to clear it of the cobwebs. The fact that he would let them down here while I was sleeping showed how much trust he had in my cousin. I am also betting he did it, so they could wake me up and get me out of the house for a while.
"How long have you been here?" Then watching me sleep was creepy and it got creepier thinking about how long they had been sitting there watching me as I slept.
"About 5 minutes. The guys are in the other room, we wanted to know if you would like to come to the beach with us? There's this waterfall and the water is so blue." Caroline was way too perky for me this morning, I needed coffee. She was the type of girl I always avoided, until Alice. Yes, those 2 would get along wonderfully if they ever met.
Hanging with Caroline will make me miss Alice more than I wanted too. She was supposed to be my best friend, instead she took off with the rest of them. Rosalie was the only one I couldn't fault for leaving since I knew she never liked me. But I couldn't believe the others could leave me after all the promises they made me. How could someone who claimed to love me like a sister just take off? Part of me hated Alice and the other part felt sorry for her to have a brother who ruled what she did. But Caroline was not Alice and I had to remember that.
I don't think it would be too hard not to hate Caroline though. She looked nothing like Alice and for that I was extremely grateful. If they didn't look alike, then it was a lot easier to forget about the short pixie I once trusted with my life.
"Ok." I got up and grabbed my towel. "Just let me grab a shower, get dressed, and make some coffee then we can go." I was excited for the beach, it was something I had always loved. Maybe I would tan up just a little if I used the tanning spray I bought. I would be happy with just a little color, right now I looked ghostly and my old friends always made fun of me for it.
"Jeremy is upstairs making some as we speak. Charlie suggested you would need some this morning. And he was right, you are not a morning person" I gave them a smug smile and silently thanked Jeremy as I left my bedroom, saying a quiet hello to the guys in my living room before running to the bathroom, realizing I had no pants on.
I tried to ignore them and the way they stared at my legs. But my body just knew he was around and the heat that crept into my body was very noticeable. I hoped they didn't see it and if they did, they would just ignore it. Sadly, that was not the case and all 3 of them laughed. My last hope was that they just thought I was embarrassed about being in front of them with a shirt that definitely told them I wasn't wearing a bra and panties that barely covered my ass.
I took the quickest shower of my life and made sure my legs and under arms were shaved then applied Jergens in-wash body lotion to my entire body. I smelled like coconuts after and I was in heaven. Ever since I was gifted the lotion, I kept buying it because I loved how soft I felt after I wore it, it seemed to soften my skin way better than regular lotion and in the rough winters, it was much needed.
My bladder empty, my teeth brushed, my hair towel dried and pulled into a messy bun, I took 2 aspirin for my headache, and I knew I wouldn't have to come back in here. I pulled on my robe that I always hung on the back of the door and made sure my bathroom was neat before heading to my room.
Once I opened the door, I didn't expect to bump into Damon or to have him push me back into the bathroom. He took my moment of being stunned to lock the door and before I could say something or even blink, he had me pinned against the door.
His lips were so soft and warm, they sort of reminded me of Jacob, only something instinctual clicked in me as Damon kissed me. With a gasp of surprise, he slipped his tongue into my mouth and I welcomed it with enthusiasm. His hands slipped inside my robe and I could feel the cool breeze on my heated body. I was half afraid he wouldn't like what he saw and half afraid he would. He picked me up and placed me on the sink, kissing my neck and rubbing the outside of my thighs.
When his mouth moved lower, I tilted my head to the left to give him better access. He showered my neck with soft sensual kisses as his right hand slowly moved up. I let his hand continue and he stopped it just under my breast and I was so achingly aware of his lips continuing their trail south. My panic spiked since I had never had anyone go down that far or even tried too, and I pushed him away. I grabbed his head one last time for a searing kiss before hopping off the sink and closing my robe.
I didn't want him to know just how much of a virgin I was, but I think he knew it somehow. His face was between shock and lust before he smirked at me and left the bathroom. I was left wondering what had just happened and really hoped I could remember last night. Was this some vengeance thing against Elena or Stephen? Was he trying to piss them off or me? Either way I enjoyed what he did to me and even though I was enjoying the high my body was on, I did not want anyone else to see the blush that covered my entire body.
I hurried to my room and was surprised that no one was around. I would have thought at least Caroline would have an opinion on what I was going to wear. Elena told me how much Caroline loved clothes and always tried to have them wear fashionable clothes instead of the comfortable fabrics they normally wore. I could hear footsteps upstairs from my bedroom, so I figured they were in the kitchen. I grabbed my beach bag and threw in my beach towel, a small blanket, sun block, my iPod with head phones, a book, my wallet, and my phone.
Then I looked in my closet and picked out one of my new bikinis. I was always the kind to make sure I was well covered when I went to the beach but new me wanted to show off my body and try to catch a tan. So, I threw on a dark green bikini that had little jewels in the connecting area between my breast and on the sides of the bottoms. I slipped on a simple black sun dress and flip flops and grabbed a pair of glasses. I secured them on my head and added a small amount of waterproof eye liner. I made sure everything was secured downstairs before grabbing my keys and bag and heading upstairs.
Everyone was sitting at the table laughing and talking about the beach. Damon was the first to notice me and I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. He smirked at me before taking his left hand and running it through his hair, as if to remind me of where my hands had been left than 20wminutes ago. Heat flooded my lower body and his smirk just got bigger before he returned to talking with everyone.
"So what time are we leaving?" I asked grabbing an apple from the fridge and sitting on the counter. I would save my cup of coffee for the trip there so that I could at least get some type of food in me now.
"We're just waiting for Matt and then we'll go." Caroline said, texting on her phone.
"Is he your boyfriend?" I remembered at one point that Elena was dating a guy named Matt and wondered if it was the same guy. Caroline laughed and so did everyone else.
"I forgot you just got here. I'm dating Tyler, Matt's best friend. Matt used to date Elena but now they're good friends. I also dated Matt at one point, but I royally messed that up, maybe I'll tell you about it sometime. Bonnie here is dating Jeremy but it's still a little weird. You know about Elena and Stephen and Damon there is alone, pinning over Elena like a lost puppy."
"Caroline." Elena looked frustrated. Damon was staring at me and Stephen was staring at him. Bonnie and Jeremy were staring at each other and I could feel the sexual tension between them.
"It's fine. She's just telling me how it is, I think it's great that Caroline tells it how it is. I didn't get that much in Forks so I'm a little over being lied to. Is Tyler coming with us too?"
"No, he has to work. He needs the money for parts to his car. I tried to get him to come but he wouldn't budge." I threw the core of the apple into the trash.
"Where is everyone?" I hopped off the counter and fixed my dress. The voice clearly belonged to a guy, the voice sounded very familiar and it made me a little curious as to who it was.
We all went into the living room, Stephen grabbed my bag and smiled at me.
He was the same guy who served me my drinks last night. His eyes were a deep blue with specks of green this morning. Maybe there were green last night too but I couldn't really tell with the lighting. He still had a baby face with the cutest smile. His hair was dirty blonde, but his brows were a light brown. He was well muscled, and I didn't see any fat on him. He was wearing a strange ring and I could have sworn I seen it before.
"So, we're all set to leave, Matt this is Bella, Bella this is Matt. Bella is Elena's cousin from Forks, her and her dad just moved here." Caroline continued to chat on about Charlie and me but all I could concentrate on was Matt. He was holding my hand as if it was fragile and he was smiling at me warmly.
"It's nice to meet you. How did you like the party?"
"It was ok." We chuckled, and he followed me as I went back into the kitchen to grab some coffee.
I added milk and sugar to a to-go mug and 2 pumps of the caramel flavoring I had in the fridge then poured the rest with steaming coffee. I mixed it all up and took a sip, it was perfect and just the right amount of sweetness.
"I was surprised when I couldn't find you all night. No one even knew you had been there, did something happen?" He was kind and caring.
"I thought I heard a bear out back in the woods and it freaked me out a little. In our town there were lots of animal attacks. I grabbed my mug and we headed out the door. "Can I ride with you?"
He smiled and held the door open for me. Out of the rear-view mirror I could see Damon scowling at me.
A/N: So, what did you guys think? Is Damon jealous? Will something happen between Bella and Matt? What do you guys think.
