I spent most of the last day in my room packing. James was going to take me home and then return to Alaska for a few weeks until prom. Usually I wouldn't worry about packing, but Tanya insisted I take everything home with me. In fact, Tanya had taken James and me back to the gigantic mall yesterday to find me a prom dress and get James a tux. James and I had groaned, but nothing stopped Tanya from her goal of finding us outfits. My dress was now in its dress bag hanging in my closet as I packed all of the other items Tanya had bought me.

When I was done I made my way out to the living room. Tanya and her family had already gathered there, as well as Laurent and James. I walked in and smiled as I stood next to James. We waited for someone to say something, but for a few minutes no one did.

"I think we need to go." I said eventually. I had called my mom last night so she was expecting us tomorrow afternoon. Although I know James could drive through the night and get us to my house before dawn broke, neither of us wanted him to.

"You're right. We just hate saying goodbyes. They seem so final…" Kate said. She was smiling sadly and I'm sure if she could have cried there would have been tears in the corner of her eyes.

"I know it's cliché, but lets not then. I mean, I'll eventually see you again. I'll try and visit on vacations and I'll definitely be back once I'm a vampire." I replied with a reassuring smile.

"You promise you'll come back during breaks? I don't think we could wait another four years to see you." Irina said.

"I'll do my best." I replied. I gave everyone hugs, although I spent a bit more time with Laurent's hug than I did with anyone else. "I'll see you guys soon." I said as I walked out to Tanya's car and got in the passenger seat. James was already in the drivers seat and was pulling out while I was buckling my seat belt still. I waved to everyone one more time before I lost site of them.

Most of the car trip was quiet. I held James' hand the whole way, even when I slept. I was woken up by James pulling off the highway and into an empty parking lot which I immediately recognized. It was the parking lot where I had been parked during the hiking trip where I originally met James and Laurent. "James, why are we here? I thought you were going to take it slow and then we'd get brunch or lunch before taking me home."

"I thought you'd like to see the sunrise at Wolf's Rock." James said. "I stopped while you were sleeping and picked you up some food." The smell of fresh bagels finally hit my nose and I looked into the backseat where the warm bag sat.

"That smells amazing." I said as I took in another large whiff of the bagels.

"You smell amazing." James replied, grinning so I could see his teeth.

"Am I on the menu for breakfast now?" I asked.

"Possibly, in some senses." James replied.

We got out of the car and I looked up at the sky, noticing that the night sky was already starting to become lighter. "You're carrying me, aren't you?" I asked James.

"I figured I would." James replied. I gripped my bagels to my chest as James picked me up bridal style once more. He ran through the forest, missing all of the trees, bushes, and roots that I would usually trip on. I just clung to my bagels while I inhaled James' scent. I wanted to make sure I had it memorized before he left for a few weeks. James came to a stop a minute or so later when we reached the clearing that surrounded Wolf's Rock.

"Perfect timing." I said after climbing up to the top and watching the first rays of the sun break the horizon line. I sat down and started eating a blueberry bagel from the bag. James sat behind me with one arm draped lazily around my waist. We sat in silence as the sun rose. I would switch from watching the sun rise to watching James' skin start to glitter and then back to the sun. James just smiled as my head kept whipping around every few minutes.

"I never did like that fact I glittered." James said when he saw me admiring him once again.

"I thought we've already gone over this." I said as I tried to kiss some of the sparkles on James' skin. It was like I thought that if I kissed them I would sparkle like him, or at least I would be able to keep that little piece of him.

"I know and I was going to say, I think I change my mind." James said. His eyes were closed as the sun completely engulfed him. I put the bag of bagels to the side and turned around in James' lap. I quickly had his shirt off and was kissing the sparkles on his impressive chest. James just groaned and leaned back, pulling me on top of him. He flipped us over suddenly, making em squeal in surprise.

"What are you doing?" I pouted, sad I had been separated from my sparkles.

"I think it's time for my breakfast." James replied before kissing me feverishly.

oOoOoOo

We spent the rest of the morning milling around the clearing. We spent some time talking and just holding each other, other times we made love, and finally we took a dip in the pond where James first found me. While we milled around the pond, I clung to James' chest as he moved towards the waterfall, giving both of us a shower. I arched my back in his chest when the cold water hit my back before relaxing as I got used to the temperature.

"You get shocked by cold water, but not by my cold touch?" James asked with a smile.

"I'm used to and love your touch. I'm not used to the water." I explained.

"But you love its touch. How it pearls down your back?" James said suggestively.

"I wouldn't go that far, but it's somewhat… soothing." I replied. I ran my hands over James' arms, massaging the muscles under them. James closed his eyes and allowed me to work my massage from his arms to his shoulders.

"You're starting something we don't have time to finish." James groaned.

"I'm just giving you a massage. You're the one who's turning it into something else." I replied.

"Is that so?" James asked. He smiled devilishly down at me and pressed his arousal into my stomach. I couldn't help the moan that escaped. James just smiled before repositioning me so he could get better access.

oOoOoOo

James pulled Tanya's car into my driveway and I looked up at the large two story house glumly. If it was two weeks ago, then I wouldn't have minded coming home at all, but now I didn't even want to be in the same city. Sure I missed my mom, but I didn't want to leave James and I knew that he would be gone before the next morning.

"I don't want our… trip to be over." I said as I started gathering my things so I could get out.

"I'll be back in a month and a half for your prom." James replied.

"Do we still have to go?" I asked.

"Yes, you didn't go last year and this is one of those high school experiences you should have." James replied.

"But camping was so much fun!" I argued.

"And you do it all the time. This will be your last chance." James replied. "Now let's go before your mother comes out here to get us."

I grabbed my bags and walked up to the door with James holding my free hand. I opened the door and instantly saw my mother sitting at the kitchen table with some ice tea. "Welcome back!" She said with a smile. She walked over and gave me a hug before smiling up at James.

"Hi mom." I replied.

"I thought you were going camping?" She asked.

"We did." I replied, nonchalantly.

"Then why did you come back with more bags?" My mom asked, eyeing the bags, especially my dress bag.

"We met some other friends and Tanya took Cerys shopping." James said, coming to my defense.

"And you let her buy you multiple outfits?" My mother was now snooping through the bags. I stayed silent as she reached the dress bag. I heard her gasp and I squeezed my eyes shut, not wanting to see her reaction. James just laughed before nudging me to open my eyes. "Cerys, she bought you this dress?"

"She went crazy when she heard about prom." I muttered.

"I'm assuming that you are escorting her?" My mother asked James.

"I am."

"Well then, since you have the dress down, I'll get your ticket. When do they go on sale?" My mom asked.

"A few weeks, not sure." I muttered.

"James, will you be able to stay for dinner? You must be tired from driving."

"I'm sorry, but I won't be able to stay for dinner, but I wouldn't mind resting for a bit." James replied.

"He can rest in my room while I put everything away." I said quickly.

"Alright. Cerys, why don't you come down to the restaurant for dinner tonight? You haven't visited in so long."

"Um, alright. I'll be there around 7?" I said.

"That sounds good." My mother returned to the kitchen and logged onto her laptop. I assumed she was checking e-mail so I walked up the stairs, carrying all of my bags, to my room. As soon as we were out of my mother's site, James wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck.

"Are you trying to push your limits?" I asked.

"I've pushed my limits multiple times today, and yesterday. This is nothing." James replied.

"I've noticed you thinking more with your sex drive than anything else lately." I joked.

"Are you complaining?" James asked.

"No, just mentioning the facts." I replied. "I do have a question though. Is it getting any easier for you? I mean, being around me and not killing me or drinking my blood?"

"No, it never gets easier, but it's always been bearable." James replied. "It's the small threads of humanity that remain within me that come to the surface when the temptations overcome me completely." James explained.

"So I tempt you?" I asked, eyeing him from where I had started hanging all of the clothes Tanya had given me.

"All of the time." James replied.

We spent the last few hours of our time together talking and holding each other. I must have fallen asleep because James was waking me up around 5:30. He told me that my mother had already left and he had to go. I nodded and kissed him one last time before he disappeared out of the house. I listened to him start the car and pull out. I remained on the couch for some time before finally getting up and getting ready to go down to my mom's restaurant.
