Saturday
When I woke up it was raining, but there was something that held me in place I turned to see that it was Luke he held me close to his chest he was tracing my arm with his finger when I woke up. I turned to look up at his face and saw the most dazzling smile that I've ever seen as he said, "Good morning Lily!" Then he kissed my forehead, then my nose, and finally he pressed his lips to mine gently caressing mine, it was short but sweet as he released my lips I started breathing again I don't think I could ever get used to this. To be honest I don't think I want to get used to it. I sighed and said, "Good morning Luke." Luke then began to smile as he sat up and said, "What do you want to do today?"
I smirked as I replied, "What? No complicated agenda?" trying to see if he was going to keep his word or not. He smiled sweetly as he said, "Nope! Today I will go with the flow and have you make all of the decisions." My eyebrow shot up was he really giving all of this power? I had to ask, "Do you know how much power you're giving me?" He looked intently on my face as his eyes born into mine I saw a longing in his eyes when he finally spoke his voice was small but gentle, "I'm giving you as much as I can...as much as my nature will allow." I saw his sadness, and being me I hated seeing him in any pain, so I looked up towards him wrapping my arms around his head pulling me closer to my face his eyes were confused, but I just nodded signaling that everything was alright as I moved his face closer to mine I then pressed my lips to his right ear and whispered, " Remember whatever I say goes today… Right?" His head moved as to nod in conformation I then moved my lips to his jaw line then moving squarely onto his neck where I pressed a light kiss I could feel Luke's arms wrap around me pulling me in tighter. I quickly pulled my lips away from his cheek looked into his eyes and said, "Ah no you don't, we are going to do stuff today not just lay in my bed! I have a feeling that opportunities like this only come once every few centuries so I'm not going to waste one minute." Luke sighed relinquishing his iron grip around my warm body, he then said, "I'm beginning to regret this idea already..." I began to laugh at how the tables are finally turned the prey being in charge of the predator and let me say it was about time! Luke must have seen the same conclusion as I had and began laughing to himself. I was trying to stifle a giggle as I was getting up from my bed Luke moved with me, as I got up he did so as well, I turned to face him putting both of my hands upon his shoulders, he looked amused as I slowly put some pressure on his shoulders signaling that I wanted him to sit back down. He did so and sat adoringly waiting for my next command; I put up my hand and said, "I know exactly what we are going to do today! We are going to make you relax for the whole day...So we are only going to do three things. Sounds good?"
He smiled widely as he answered, "Whatever it is I'm game!" I smiled widely at his compliance and said, "All right! Now stay here!"
"W-where are you going?" I couldn't help but let out a little chuckle as I replied, "Luke not all of us wake up completely perfect. I need to go to the bathroom silly!" Luke looked down at the ground a little embarrassed he then whispered, "Sorry I guess I forgot..." I knew where this was going so I decided to nip it in the butt by saying, "Hey it's alright. After all you haven't been human for hundreds of years; it's alright to forget things now and then." I winked, then turned to the hallway, as I got to the bathroom I looked into the mirror to see an extremely pale Lily looking back at me no wonder Luke forgot that I was human I was as pale as he was! I quickly washed my face thus giving my cheeks a more rosy look, then brushed my hair and teeth, as I turned to go back to my room I noticed that I couldn't hear Luke breathing...was him being here alone with me being too much for him? As I reentered the room I saw that he hadn't moved a single muscle, he just sat there in complete stillness, as I strode into my room I went straight to my dresser where I grabbed a pair of dark wash jeans, a yellow plaid button down shirt, a bra , shocks , and the rest of my clothing necessities. I was going to go into Charlotte's room to change and before Luke could even asked I just told him, "Sit! Stay!" Being a gentleman he did what I asked. As I made my way to Charlotte's room I began to get dressed just as I was buttoning the last button on my shirt I started to wish that Charlotte was here to give advice and at least some moral support, but there I was… alone… in a house… with a vampire. Which I was going to entertain for the whole day, I hope that I don't screw it up.
When I entered my room I saw Luke laying on my bed again relaxed as ever I put my hands on my hips and cocked my head to the side admiring how truly relaxed he was and how I need to remember him this way. Hearing me enter he sat up looking at me his eyes were happy as he asked, "Now what?" I just smiled and said "Follow me and you'll find out." I turned and left. It wasn't until we were in the kitchen that Luke finally asked, "Where are we going?" I waited to put on my rain jacket before answering, "I want to show you something... Do you mind taking a walk with me?" The surprise on Luke's face was utterly indescribable all he did was nod as I opened the back door to lead him out towards our backyard where there was a cluster of fall painted trees, I had gone walking through these woods many times at the beginning of the summer creating new trails and discovering the beauty that is Forks. As we came to the entrance of the forest I held out my hand for Luke he took it in his and squeezed it gently I turned to him looking straight into his smoldering golden eyes and said, "Just don't get lost ok." He chuckled and said, "I think I can keep up." I grinned as we continued to venture on into the woods.
After about 300 trees and 4000 leafs later we were finally at the place that I wanted to show Luke, I turned to him and said, "I was walking one day in the woods just aimlessly wondering until I found this place, I now walk here whenever I'm sad or stressed out it's just a really relaxing place." He smiled widely and said, "If it's important to you I'm sure I'm going to love it!" I smiled as I led him into a clearing surrounded by trees all of whom have exchanged their emerald greens for bright yellows, oranges, and lovely crimsons, as the clearing widened their opened a stream which left the noises of the water trickling onto the plethora of pebbles, and rocks, surrounding the stream were moss covered boulders sprawled along the edge as we entered the clearing the rain began to stop as if trying to give us a really beautiful moment. I turned to look at Luke's face to see his reaction; his face was well in awe of the beauty he then took my face in his hands and drew me into the most passionate kiss that I've ever experienced. I could feel his cool lips move vigorously across mine, as I in return moved my lips earnestly along his, deepening the kiss as I pulled away for air I quickly gasped, "Wow so I take it you like it." Luke chuckled and took my face in his hands again forcing me to look into his eyes he then said, "Out of all of the places that I've seen in my existence this is the most beautiful place I've ever been to!" This confused me hadn't he see the paintings of Leonardo Di' Vicci ? The Rain Forests of Africa? How could this be the MOST beautiful? So I went ahead and asked, "How?" Luke then moved his hands to my waist holding me close to him as he whispered, "None of those places are even as close to the beauty of this place because you weren't there! Your beauty along with the beauty of this place just makes this just about the most beautiful place to the world!" I blushed at his sincerity and said, "You know you're really going to give me a big head with all of these complements!" I could feel his silent laughter as I pulled away to see his chest and smiled at how joyful his expression was. I then leaned in closer to place another kiss upon his lips this time I made it short parting before he could deepen the kiss. I then took his hand and led him to the longest and flattest boulder sitting down and patting the space next to me to show that I wanted him to sit next to me, he got the hint and sat down, he then put his arm around me as I leaned my head against his marble shoulder, we sat like that for a few moments in silence just listening to the trickling stream as the water flowed from one end to the other. I could hear Luke's steady calm breathing as I inhaled his lovely fall scent, I couldn't help but feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world. I then went and put my head on his lap as he began to stroke my hair. As time went on I could feel the full set of the sun on the back of my leg I then turned to see Luke glowing in the sun like a an angel descending from heaven. Luke stared at my face confused so I exclaimed, "So vampires sparkle in the sun! Huh.. I have to say I didn't expect that!" Luke's eyes widened in humor as he began to chuckle,"I thought you would freak out!" he said with a sigh, I couldn't help but say, "Well I was sort of expecting you to burn in the sun light so you can't believe how relived I am to know that you only sparkle, kind of like a disco ball " He just grinned and said, "Wow, I've never heard that one before." I sighed and said, "Oh you know I love you, and that means all of you including your sparkly side." He smiled took me into his arms and cradled me into his chest. I just stared at his face as the sun continued to lighten his features. I honestly couldn't look away, but unfortunately I had to it was going to be noon soon and we still had tons more to do so I slowly moved his hands away from me and got up from his lap. I then stood in front of him and said, "Ok, time for part two of our at home date." Luke looked at me with a bright smile and said let's go! He then scooped me up into his arms and threw me onto his back gently but with enough force to somewhat knock the wind out of me but I quickly recovered as Luke instructed me to hold on. I wrapped my legs across his torso and clamped my arms around his neck in a chock hold. As soon as I was in place Luke set off running. I saw trees coming at us at amazing speeds I quickly ducked my head into Luke's shoulder blade waiting for it to be over. I was still in my tense position when Luke said, "Ok you can come down." I couldn't feel my legs and I didn't want to trip and fall in front of Luke so I asked, "Luke do you know what would be really romantic?" There was a short pause but he eventually asked, "What?"
I had to blush when I said this, "Will you carry me?" Before he even answered he had me in his arms cradling me to his chest I could tell that he enjoyed it just as much as I did. We entered my warm house and I felt really happy that now we'll get to move to our next task, Luke set me down in the kitchen and asked, "Now what?" I turned to him smiled and asked,
"So… How do you feel about baking?"
