I'm also thinking about having a lemon soon but I'm not sure…tell me what you think!
The best day of my life
I had been up since 7am longing, needing to see David again, more than anything else in the world. Time seemed to pass excruciatingly slowly, each minute felt like an hour. I felt myself beginning to panic as the clock on the wall of the living room approached 1pm. He was late, almost an hour late. What could be taking him so long? What if he was hurt? Of had been attacked? For all I know he could be lying dead somewhere and I'm sitting in my house doing nothing about it. The 'what ifs' in my mind were getting progressively worse and I was fidgeting continuously as I stared at the clock, willing the hands to move faster or, at least, for me to hear a knock at the door, signally that David was here, that he was safe.
He had called me last night, after he had dropped me off to tell me to wear a swimming costume and to bring a change of clothes. Why? I still wasn't sure about that and he had refused to tell me, claiming that it was a surprise.
I stood up and walked into the kitchen to find something that would distract me from my worrying or at least give me something else to do other than sitting fidgeting. I made myself a sandwich and sat it on the counter as I stood there staring at it, too worried to do anything else. Where could he be? I pushed away from the counter and began pacing back and forth across the tiny kitchen, only taking three strides before turning around again.
Seth wandered into the kitchen, took my sandwich, ate it and proceeded to make himself another one. I usually would have attacked him, or at least yelled at him for stealing any of my food but right now I really didn't care.
"I don't see why you care so much, Leah." He said as he rummaged through the cupboards searching for food. I don't think he knew that I had actually imprinted. I mean, I hadn't phased since I had so he wouldn't be able to hear my thoughts on the matter, I hadn't told him and when I was away from David I had my usual, if not slightly worse, temper so really there wasn't much change in me unless I'm actually around David. "He's a player. He's probably out screwing some random girl." He said nonchalantly with a slight shrug.
With those few words I exploded with rage. How dare he? It was probably true and it hurt me to think that it was but I couldn't be mad at David, that was impossible, so the next person in my firing range was Seth. "What?" I hissed at him as I stopped my pacing and turned to face him.
He looked up at me and his eyes widened in fear as I began approaching him, maybe he had realised just how big a mistake he had made. "Leah, I…I…oh shit, you imprinted didn't you?" Bingo, just a little too late dumb-ass. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He stuttered as he continued to back away warily.
Yes, he should be worried. My anger had gone beyond my control and it was a wonder that I hadn't exploded into a giant wolf yet. I advanced on him, grabbing the scruff of his collar and ramming him backwards into the cupboards behind him, my cold grey eyes glaring at him with unrelenting anger.
"Don't you ever say that again." I demanded, banging him back into the hard surface behind him. No matter how true it was I wasn't going to let him say anything against David. I shoved him back again and again and opened my mouth to speak when I heard a knock on the front door. I immediately let go of Seth, allowing him to slump to the floor and stepped over him on my way to the door. I knew he would be alright, I hadn't even dented the cupboards I had been banging him into so he couldn't have been too hurt. I think he was just more in shock about me imprinting and my little attack than anything else.
I all but ran to the door and pulled it open, almost tearing it off its hinges in my excitement to see David. A smile immediately lit up my face as I laid my eyes upon my imprint.
"Hey." He greeted, a pirate's grin forming on his face. Concern clouded his features as he took in my slightly dishevelled appearance. "Are you alright?" He asked softly then his eyes flickered over my shoulder. His gaze returned to me and he quirked an eyebrow, biting back a smile. I followed his gaze to see Seth stumbling out of the kitchen looking slightly dazed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I'm fine. He was just being annoying." I shrugged nonchalantly, picked up my bag that contained my change of clothes – I already had my swimming costume on underneath my clothes – stepped out of the house, shutting the door behind me.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side." David said playfully as he took my hand in his and began walking towards his car. "Here, I'll put your bag in the back." He said and held out his hand. I smiled thankfully at him and handed him my bag before climbing into the passenger seat.
"So, where are we going?" I asked curiously, hoping he would finally tell me where we're going or at least give me some sort of clue.
"It's a surprise." He said without taking his eyes off the road, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips.
I shifted in my seat to turn and face him. "Please, tell me." I asked pleadingly, pouting slightly. Hey, I heard that 'puppy dog' eyes work so why shouldn't I give it a try?
He shook his head, still not looking at me so my attempts at convincing him were useless. "Nope."
I leaned closer to him, my hands resting on my chair to keep my balance, so I was just inches away from him. I let out a slow breath, deliberately, letting it fan out across his neck and watched as goose bumps appeared on his skin. "Please." I breathed into his ear softly, earning a slight shiver from him. His jaw tightened and he shook his head slightly. I leaned closer to him, placing feather-light kisses along his jaw line and back up to his ear, taking his ear lobe between my teeth. "Please, David." I whispered again and I heard him sigh in defeat.
I pulled back slightly, feeling triumphant with myself, before he turned his head towards me, a grin lighting up his face. "You didn't really think you could trick me that easily, did you Leah?" He asked smugly and I frowned at him. I was slightly annoyed that he hadn't fallen for it but the smile lighting up his face was worth it.
He leaned towards me, his lips barely brushing my own, and the smirk still in place. He stayed there for a few moments, brushing his lips across mine, teasing me, but not quite kissing me. I hungrily breathed in his glorious scent, sweet but spicy at the same time. I was becoming a little light headed when he spoke again, "You're good…" He breathed against my lips. "But I'm better." He muttered before pressing his lips against mine, giving me a quick peck, before all but jumping out of the car.
I glanced around my surroundings, slightly disorientated. When did we stop? A grin spread across my face when I realised where we were; on top of the cliffs in La Push. Swimming suit…cliffs…good weather…that could only mean once thing; cliff diving. A shiver of fear ran through me. I personally loved cliff diving but what if David got hurt? Or worse?
I was beginning to panic about him while my mind went through all the worst possible scenarios of what could happen. I looked out of the windshield and my breathing caught in my throat. David stood in front of the car in nothing but his swimming trunks, his lightly tanned skin and toned muscles gleaming in the sunlight, looking at me expectantly with a grin on his face. Oh. My. God. I would gladly look at that all day. Maybe cliff-diving wasn't a bad idea after all.
After gaping at him for a good few minutes I forced myself out of the car and took off my top and pants, revealing my dark green bikini underneath. I put my clothes back into the car and David locked it, placing the key on a chain around his neck. I held my hand out to him when he reached my side and noticed him looking me up and down hungrily. He took my hand and locked his gaze on mine. I tilted my head to the side and cocked my eye brow at him. He seemed to notice he had been caught and looked away, a light blush on his cheeks.
We were standing on the edge of the cliff, the waves beneath us splashing against the bottom of the cliff slightly. It was a really nice day today; the sun was shining and the waves were calm. Perfect.
"Are you alright?" David asked and I let out a slight laugh and nodded. He was regarding me curiously and I realised he must have thought I would be scared. As if! I may not go cliff diving with any of the other werewolves in La Push but I have been a hell of a lot.
"You're not scared, are you?" I teased him and looked back down at the waves below, a smile creeping onto my face. I released my hand of his grip and glanced at him over my shoulder. "I'll meet you at the bottom." I said just a split second before I dived off the cliff, falling through the air and plunging into the cool waves below. The look of shock on his face just before I dived was priceless. He really hadn't been expecting me to do that.
I swam back to the surface, breaking through the waves and brushed my hair back out of my eyes so I could get a clear view up to the top of the cliff. I looked up just in time to see David falling towards the waves in a perfect dive, slicing through them without much of a splash. Well, he obviously did this a heck of a lot.
I treaded water, waiting for him to surface for a few moments before I was beginning to panic. What was taking him so long? I ducked my head under the water, searching for any sign of him but all I could see was the dark blue of the sea. I surfaced again, ignoring the stinging of the salty water in my eyes as I searched frantically for him.
"David? David!" I shouted, looking around the area of sea in front of me. "Dav—AH!" I broke off into a scream when I felt warm, slightly cooler than me but still warm, hands on the bottoms of my legs.
I spun around quickly as David surfaced, his hair looked almost black being darkened by the water and was plastered to his forehead, with a smug grin on his face. "Surprise." He chuckled, amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Hey." I said hitting his shoulder playfully but apparently I hit him a little too hard because he flinched slightly. "Sorry. Did I hurt you? Are you ok?" I said in a rush as I stared at him worriedly. I had been hanging around with the other werewolves so long that I was beginning to forget how strong I was compared to humans.
He laughed and shook his head. "I'm fine." He assured me. Personally, I think it's because he didn't want to admit that I, a girl, managed to hit him that hard without meaning to. "I'll race you to the shore." I caught a glimpse of his grin before he disappeared under the waves, swimming towards the beach.
A smile spread across my face before I dived under the waves, swimming to the shore. He really didn't know what he was getting himself into. Challenging a werewolf to a race is about as foolish as having a staring contest with a painting; it's pointless and no matter what you're going to loose.
I kicked my legs behind me, my arms cutting smoothly through the water as I easily gained on him. I swam past him and reached the shore, walking up the sandy beach before turning around to look at him emerging from the water.
"Wait…how did you…you were behind me…" His face was scrunched in confusion in the most adorable expression and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me as I watched him try and figure it out. He was a very strong swimmer so it should have been next to impossible for me to beat him here and I started out after him which should have increased his odds at winning but I had the trick card up my sleeve; I was a werewolf.
We spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging around on the beach and swimming in the sea. Spending even just those few hours with David were the happiest I had ever been and I couldn't think of anything I would much rather do.
He dropped me off at my house just after 7pm and walking me to my door just like the previous day. "Do you want to do something tomorrow?" He asked just as I was unlocking the front door.
Just that simple question brought a smile to my face and made my heart swell with happiness. "That would be brilliant." I pressed my lips to his, my smile growing wider and pushed the front door open.
"Great, I'll come get you at 5." He said as a wicked smile spread across his face. "In the morning."
"What!? Why?" I asked with my mouth agape. Now, don't get me wrong, I cherish every moment I have with David even if I have only known him since yesterday but I really wasn't a morning person. Ask anyone I know and they would tell you that with conviction.
"You'll see." Was all he said as he walked back to his car with a smug smile on his face. Great, another surprise.
