Leah's POV
"I love you" Mathew whisper's in my ear. My heart doesn't fail to skip a beat when he say's those words. Even after almost 20 years it doesn't fail to pound against my chest when I'm close to him, when he stares at me like he can't live without me.
"I love you too" I sigh as I feel his lips on my neck and then my jaw. The day I thought was the worst day of my life turns out to be the best decision I ever made. Although there hasn't been a day I haven't felt guilty for not telling anybody where I've been, not telling my mom she's a grandmother, or Seth that he's an uncle. Even Sam, before I met Mathew his name alone would cause my heart to constrict painfully in chest, my eyes to water but now the only thing I feel is guilt, guilt for not telling him he has a daughter.
Katherine, I smile at the thought of my daughter, she's on tour right now, in some crazy adventure, only she can get herself into. Who would have thought I would have a daughter, and that daughter would grow up to be a famous singer and actress. But she hasn't gotten where she is without hard work and talent.
"What's wrong love?" Mathew asks looking at me with a thoughtful expression, while running his fingers up and down my arm. "I can tell your head's somewhere else."
I just smile, "Nothing I'm just thinking about my family, it's been 20 years, Mathew, 20 years since I've seen my family." I confess, looking at the ground, feeling ashamed, ashamed that I was too weak to speak the truth, ashamed that I still am.
I feel Mathew's fingers pull my chin up, so I can look at him. "Let's got back then, let's go to La Push, so you can see your family, you deserve closure, and I want to give you that." Mathew say's with a smile, "Bedside's I want to meet the woman who made the most beautiful, caring, and sexiest person I know." Mathew says with a smirk.
I just laugh; He always knows how to make me feel better. "Oh yeah and who would that be?"
"Oh this sexy brunette I met at a park, sitting on a bench with a suitcase by her side." Mathew recalls. Even after all these years he still remembers where we met, well where he saw me, I was too busy figuring out what to do with my life.
I smile at the memory, "Yeah and then you asked me where I had been all your life." I laugh at the memory. "You were such a dork."
"Hey you married me right! My pickup lines work." He says with a soft smile.
I was staring at the pond in a small park in New York, when I heard a voice
"Where have you been all my life beautiful?" Say's a cocky voice.
Great I thought, my first day here and some pervert's already hitting on me.
"Don't you know better than to hit on random women for all you know I could be gay?" I respond still looking at the lake.
"That would be a shame, but I like a challenge, I bet I could make you swing the other way." His voice rang with smugness. Who the hell was this guy? I was about to ring his neck, when I looked into his eyes, and my world stopped, everything that made me who I am vanished, I didn't live for myself anymore, he was keeping down on earth, it was like we were magnets that had to be together to be complete. I had only felt like this once before, when I found out I was pregnant. Nothing, nobody mattered anymore, the people keeping me alive were now this man, and my baby. I hadn't realized I was staring at him for who knows how long, but then again he was doing the same thing.
"You're beautiful" I breathe…
He just laughs a shaky laugh, "Isn't that my line?" He asks staring into my eyes with a look that can only be described as adoration.
Well Shit…..I just imprinted.
Haha, I'm evil ;) I decided to end here, so now you guys know how they met, and that they have been together for about 20 years. Aren't you glad she left La push? :) The next Pov will either be Sam's or Katherine's, who do you guys, want to hear from? Let me know what guys think!-JCreader
