He walked out into the sun and turned around to face me. He beckoned to me to follow him so I walked out but with hood up, like him. Oh my God oh my God oh my God totally hot guy standing really close to me. He came so close I was almost sure I could feel him breathing out. He sighed and put his hood down. I looked up at his face (he was just a bit taller than me, which made him even hotter!).
He looked into my eyes. His whole face was glittering in the light. Not like sun reflection but like vampire shining. His face and hands looked like they were covered with diamonds, like I do, or the rest of my family.
I can't believe I didn't notice before now. With the red eyes there should have been some recognition, with the fact that he was cold and hard,I should have got it straight away. The diamond skin just made it click.
With all that thinking I hadn't noticed him getting closer, or the fact that I was also leaning in. In the next half second, without realising what I was doing, I felt him gently put his lips to mine. I then realised I was kissing him back. My lips parted and at first it was gentle, but then it got stronger, with passion. I didn't ever want it to stop, it was just perfect.
No you can't do this. Bad Nessie! You're going to be with Jacob, not Luke.
But why? I don't have to do anything I don't want to. Imprinting doesn't mean love at first sight, I'm just the most important person in his world. And anyway, he said he'd be happy for me if I chose someone else. And this will totally last forever.
I was starting to imagine my wedding day, but not with Jacob, with Luke. Of course Jacob would be my best man, I'm sure Luke would understand.
Then it stopped. He was standing there, looking at me with adoration, I stared right into his red eyes, he looked like he wanted me just as badly as I wanted him. I leaned in again, but he put his finger to my lips and stopped me. "We've still got the rest of the day to worry about. I'll see you later, OK?" He said. With that he turned and walked away, hood up.
There was someone standing on the corner, watching the whole thing. I was worried about our sparkly faces at first but then I saw who it was. They'd seen me kiss him, want him. They turned and walked away, with a look of great pain.
Jacob.
