Chapter 4

Rain poured down and hit the roof with a sound that was very much like a grenade going off. As soon as I opened my eyes lightning struck and thunder rumbled. If I hadn't have seen the rain through the window I could have sworn that they were making the next Transformers movie outside. The whole house shook and I was beginning to seriously doubt the Cullen's construction job. The TV came on downstairs and someone flipped it to the weather channel; "That's right everyone! Isolated thunderstorms are in store for us. Our weather man, Bob Glycan, has predicted that they last until Monday night!" I almost screamed with joy, I absolutely love the rain. It's so peaceful. My mind instantly turned productive and I wondered if there would be any peaceful places nearby, like a stream or a waterfall.

Climbing out of bed I threw back the covers and my hair fell down to my waist; I'm in serious need for a haircut. Maybe Kate can find a place in town. Thinking about it, Kaleb needs one, too. 'Where is Kaleb?' I thought. I made my way to the bathroom, stopping short when I saw a pair of brand new black converses that most certainly weren't mine. I trailed my eyes up and wasn't as surprised as I should have been when I saw Alec staring. I suddenly felt a little too exposed in my boy shorts and spaghetti strap.

"May I help you?" I asked. I couldn't help but keep the smile off my face, he grinned. Alec stood up off my computer chair and closed the distance between us. My defensive instincts took over and I back away showing my fangs. He held his hands up and backed away slowly but he was still smiling. "I said may I help you?" I growled.

"Your brother went out earlier. He said to wait till you woke up and keep you company…The Cullens are downstairs." My fangs retracted and the blood flowed away from my eyes.

"Where did he go?" I was panicking now. My brother and I had never been apart. And we were in Cullen territory, something bad could happen.

"He said he had a few errands to run, if you know anything about it? It might just be Christmas shopping, it is November, Kyra. I will stay here with you if you're okay with it." He suggested. I nodded my head quickly, as much as I don't like to admit it; I was afraid of being alone. You would think with someone as loudmouth and obnoxious as me would be okay with spending a few hours in their room but actually I hated the idea of it. Before I knew it, Alec had reached under my bed and grabbed my box of blood and alcohol. He waved a bag of blood and a bottle of wine and motioned to the TV.

"What should we watch?" He asked. I smiled and gestured him over.

"Have you seen any of the Underworlds?" I inquired. Reaching my hand in the cabinet under my flat screen I pulled out all four movies. Alec shook his head and I tsked. "Well today is your lucky day, Allie." All of a sudden, Alec had both of my wrists in his hands and I was pushed up against the wall.

"Want to try that again, sweetheart?" His breath tickled my face and he leaned in until he was just millimeters away. His bottom lip brushed against mine and I closed my eyes, my brain finally shutting off. When his lips crashed against mine, the kiss was anything but gentle. He claimed my lips hungrily and with passion. My nails dug into my palms with frustration when he pulled away with an adorable smirk. Clumsily I picked up the DVDs I dropped and inserted the first movie in my Xbox.

I settled on my bed, burrowing under the covers. I remember when Kaleb and I were little; our favorite movie was Lion King. Then Lion King 2 came out and we HAD to see it. We set up elaborate pranks for Stephan and Damon and we always left a note that indicated our goal. They finally stopped saying no and took us to the movies. We ended up screaming when Simba wouldn't let the boy lion hang out with his daughter and then we were kicked out.

Alec stood up to grab a controller and press play. In one fluid motion, he was sitting on my bed with his back against the wall…with me in his lap.

"What, no foreplay?" I giggled. "You know, I don't even know you but you still somehow manage to do the things you do."

"What do you mean you don't know me?" Alec asked, bewildered. "If I remember, you were the one that read my entire life and thoughts when you looked into my eyes the first time. If anything, it's me who doesn't know you." He smiled. "So tell, what's your favorite color?" I blushed deeply. "Come on tell me!"

"Red, the color of your eyes." I blurted out. For a second, he said nothing. A deep rumble sounded in his chest, much like when a cat purrs. He suddenly beamed.

"Ok…So, any hobbies?" He probed; I giggled and rushed off his lap and to the far corner of the room. One of the promises Damon made was that I would always have an abundance of clay. He gave me a credit card with close to five thousand dollars and said I could use it on anything I wanted. He adds more to it every month. I reached under my desk and grabbed my tackle box full of charms. Making my way to the bed, I dumped the whole box on the blanket.

"I make these!" I exclaimed, Alec laughed at my enthusiasm. He looked over and complimented every polymer clay charm I had, even the really ugly ones I had made when I first started out. He looked over at my desk and pointed to one of the knick-knacks Kaleb had made me one Christmas. He had gotten into my clay and I had punched him in the arm. Kaleb wouldn't tell me what he did until I opened one of my presents under the tree. I felt so bad I cried, Damon sat me on his lap and Kaleb rubbed circles on my back until I fell asleep.

"What about that?" Alec asked.

"Kaleb made me that, one Christmas." I answered. It was a cup…I guess you could call it that. Not like one you would drink out of but like a container. Stephan helped him paint it with certain paints, the outside was black and the inside was turquoise. Alec looked thoughtful.

"You know, you should sell these. You could probably make a pretty penny; I mean these are really detailed. You're like Michelangelo!" He tickled me and I screamed. I realized what we had been doing and scrambled off the bed. Alec looked seriously shocked and rejected.

"We are supposed to be watching these movies! Because somebody is a fail and hasn't watched them already." His bottom lip pouted out. He moved so fast my eyes couldn't comprehend until it was too late. Once again I was seated on his lap, only this time he had his arms locked around my waist and an Xbox controller in his hands. The theme for Halo played through my surround sound and I gasped. "You filthy whore! I see what you did there!" Alec laughed at my vocabulary and his hair moved in his eyes but he didn't seem to mind. I hesitantly brushed the strand out of his eyes. He turned towards me and I was locked in his gaze.

"We have forever to watch corny movies. Why can't I just sit and grope my girlfriend while playing a game of Halo?" He grinned.

"Girlfriend?!" I exclaimed then thought back. "Grope?!"

"What?! Don't tell me you didn't like what I did earlier! And because of earlier I guess you could call us together." Someone pounded on the ceiling below us.

"TM-FUCKING-I" Evan yelled. We both laughed maniacally. Alec started playing Halo and I thought back to this day. Thinking about, I guess me and Alec are dating. Though I wouldn't just go announce it to the world, but I'm thinking everyone downstairs heard Alec. That's how we spent the rest of our day. Alec sat with me on top of his lap playing numerous games on my Xbox. We didn't even have to get up to change the disc, I used my telekinesis. I think I may have fallen asleep at some point because when I woke up we were in a different position and Halo wasn't on anymore. Alec lay flat against the bed with me on his chest. His head was propped up on my pillows and he looked serious. His brow furrowed and I could tell he was thinking about something important.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, still half asleep. He suddenly turned to me, his lips not far from mine. My mind was instantly awake and aware. He froze and moved away.

"I need to go." He answered. He pushed me off his chest and left out the door. Rejection flowed through my body and out of my eyes. My mind scanned the past few hours, trying to figure out what I had done. I couldn't find anything that would add up to him being so distant. Slowly, I climbed out of bed and made my way to the shower.
