Enjoy!
Jake and I walk home in utter silence and it kills me. We walk side by side our hands nearly touching but we couldn't be farther apart. I want to say something witty something to make him smile, but the words won't seem to come out right.
I can hear the faint whistle from the trees. We walk across a couple leaves that litter the ground and I can hear them crunch and break apart underneath our feet. I secretly wonder if he saw Edward and I stare at each other. I mean, it was pretty obvious that our attraction for each other shone in our eyes, despite us trying to hide it.
Gosh, I didn't want to hide it any longer.
But we're separated by the large gap that is our family. It was written in our destinies to never be together. A werewolf and a vampire were basically two polar opposites. But, didn't the saying go opposites attract? And boy did we attract like two magnets clinging to each other. Sometimes ice felt the necessity to melt away in the sun. I couldn't help but laugh at our Romeo and Juliet type love story. Well, accept the part where we both die in the name of love… even though my destiny is to kill the one thing that I care for. It's funny how destiny works. I've always heard if you don't like the story you're in change it. Well, screw it I'm going to create my own destiny myself. I'll take it one day at a time.
"So,"
I muster up the courage to say something. My voice is a little cracked I clear it and begin again. "I totally kicked your butt at that race. Care to lose again?"
Jake is completely silent. I stare at him I'm so short next to this massive mountain of a man. His jaw is clenched. His fists are balled at his sides and I can tell he's still very angry.
"Did you see the way they treat us?" He hisses.
I shrug my shoulders.
"What do you mean?"
"They show us no respect. We really are dogs to them. They believe they can say whatever they want to us."
"I don't think that's true," I murmur.
It goes unheard, in fact I believe he has a wall shutting me out altogether. We make it to the clearing and he's walking so fast I feel as if I'm jogging opposed to casual strolling.
"You always defend them." He turns to stare at me we stop walking.
"I don't—"
"You wouldn't lie to me right?"
My pulse quickens as he stares at me. I try to clear my thoughts if he read them I'd be a goner. He'd know…oh he'd know how much I really cared about his worst enemy…How I've betrayed him.
I am silent for a while contemplating whether I tell him the truth or lie altogether. His eyes dangle over mine two pools of brown reflecting.
"Never," I lie.
"You don't have feelings for that…that bloodsucker do you?"
I control myself from wincing at the word Bloodsucker. It's an awful word to describe Edward, it's like them calling us fleabag, which let me set the record straight we DON'T have flees.
The sun is slowly setting and the hues of pastels are gliding over our skin. The cold suddenly starting to set in and it makes me shutter.
"No Jake," My voice is flat.
"Good,"
He begins to turn away and continues to walk back to the house. I follow behind him this time to ashamed to walk next to him. "Because I could never forgive you if you did." Are his last words to me. Never, that word holds so much power. I want to defend myself but there would be another time for that. As for right now Edward Cullen would have to be my dirty little secret.
We finally make it back home and I'm so glad because the silence around us was maddening. We walk to the door and he opens it for me. I step inside and wait for him to come in with me. He doesn't move but stays on the porch. I lean against the door frame crossing my arms,
"You're not coming in?" He shakes his head.
"No, I think I'm going to see Bella."
"So I see what would put you in a good mood," I smirk.
Jake nods his head throwing his hands towards his sides as a way of surrender.
"What can I say?" I nod my head biting my lip.
"Well, go get her tiger."
He smiles and I cannot help but smile along with him. He turns and runs down the valley and I watch him. He's so swift and quick and I'm glad that the last thing I remember from him is smiling.
I stand next to my open closet dumbfounded as I slide through the small amount of clothes I brought from home. I had got a call from Edward explaining that he'd be here rather shortly and to wear something nice. Offering no other information or definition of what his 'nice' meant.
I sigh as I throw a purple top onto the ground. It falls littering my floor with the other unworthy shirts in its stead. I scratch the side of my head as I look at a little black dress that I haven't had the courage to wear. My friends from high-school begged me to buy it at forever 21. When I had tried it on in the dressing room I barely wanted to come out in it. It felt as tight as a second skin. I hadn't seen Edward in quite some time though, so maybe reminding him of what he left wouldn't be such a bad idea.
I grab the small skin tight dress and hold it up to my reflection in the mirror. I gulp. Okay dress don't let me down.
"I don't see why you're contemplating." His voice rings in my ears. I smile as I turn around to find him climbing through my window. I don't even know why I own a door when it seemed he found pleasure in barging in open windows. I let the dress hang next to me. It is so nice to see him again to actually know that he won't just disappear like he did before.
"Wait till you see me in it." I muster up the amount of courage that I have in me. He brings it out of me, maybe, it's because when he stares at me he sees something that I can't understand. He sees a fighter in me instead of the meek little girl everyone else sees.
He comes closer placing his hands on my shoulders. His icy cold touch tingles against my senses. I nearly drop the dress altogether and pounce on him but I don't. I control myself; I wouldn't let him know how badly I wanted him. Besides, every time we see each other we can't uncontrollably just start making out…right?
Oh, but the way he's starring down at me, those golden eyes shining, makes my stomach twinge in anticipation.
"Don't torture me for too much longer," he says with a beautiful side smile.
He turns away and makes his way to my bed sitting down on the edge of it. He crosses his hands on his lap. He's wearing a black button up shirt that hugs the indents of his muscular physique. He looks like a stone carving perfectly chiseled like his artist had a love affair with his work, making him flawless.
Although it's torture I walk to the bathroom changing into my dress. It's tight and short. Okay, now I understand why it's called Little black dress. But gosh, did they make it where every time you breathe it clings against you? Not to mention when I move it tends to want to leap upwards exposing my thigh. I pull it down as far as I can. I run my hands through my hair putting on a small amount of red lipstick.
I take a look in the mirror and honestly I barely recognize myself. I look sexy, okay, maybe a tad like a baby prostitute as well, but nice none the less. This is daring, but, we're all allowed some daring moments in our life right?
I leave the bathroom and walk to my bedroom. I find Edward starring at some of the photos I have scattered on my night stand. His back is facing me but I know with his keen instincts he hears me enter the room.
"Are these your friends from home?" He asks without turning around?
I walk towards him looking down at the old me. The pictures of my former self cause me to sigh. It was no going back to normalcy again I am forever changed. Life was so simple back then now I'm caught up in a world of supernatural myths and legends.
"That's my old life now," I whisper.
He holds up another photo of old me in a black and pink dress from homecoming. My arms are around Evan, the old boy I was dating. Edward smirks,
"Lucky man,"
"Not as lucky as you."
I take the picture out of his hand and throw it under the pile of my old life. He looks at my body now seeing the dress on me for the first time. He wraps his arms around me. He brings his forehead to mine smiling down at me.
"You're quite right because I get to be with you right now. You're a vision you know that?" I smile up at him he's making me bloom like a flower. "Just out of curiosity do you like dancing?" I raise an eyebrow laughing. I wrap my arms around his neck.
"Is that you trying to learn more about me? Mr. Cullen you baffle me."
"I want to learn everything there is to know about you Leah. Every," He kisses my forehead, "little," he kisses the tip of my nose. "Detail," his words disappears against my lips.
"I rather like dancing," I murmur as our lips do a dance of their own.
Screw going out I'd be content staying in this room kissing him for the rest of my life. He smiles softly cradling the back of my head then sliding a curl behind my ear.
"We shall save this for later,"
He lifts me up carrying me bridal style. I am quite surprised as he walks out of my bedroom into the living room. I turn facing him,
"My shoes" He chuckles. Edward grabs them handing my black heels to me. He walks towards the front door with me cradled inside his arms, as if I'm the most precious jewel to him.
"Edward, where exactly are we going?"
"Dancing."
I had never been the girl with two left feet. In fact, I honestly did love dancing. In school I would look forward to dances because it's the one time you could let loose and just freely express yourself. Dance, could tell such beautiful stories where words couldn't.
I didn't expect Edward to be the expert dancer. Call me old-fashioned but I never expected vampires to be the chauvinistic types that open up doors for women, take them on lavish dancing dates, and kiss them breathless. Okay, maybe the last part but definitely not the first two. Then, I realize I'm being unfairly judgmental. He didn't think of me as a hairy beast that ran on four legs…least, I hope he doesn't.
I don't expect to be brought to a nice little lounge hidden in shadows. The only aid of light is the strobe lights that are beaming down from the walls. They illuminate people's bodies and it looks as if I am among fairies and goblins opposed to human beings. The music is putting me in a trance and as we walk in I cannot help but become overwhelmed with its beat. I nod my head as I look around. I turn towards him, only his smile I can make out.
"I didn't think of you as a person who'd come here." I scream but my voice drowns out through the crowd of people. I can tell he doesn't hear me so without thought I drag him towards me. He gets close and I'm sure he's rather stunned by my rather large strength. It amuses him,
"remind me to never make you mad." He teases. "I came here with Alice and Jasper before." He whispers in my ear his voice like a calming melody. I nod indicating I'm listening to him. "Bella really wasn't into to dancing so…" He trails off and even at the mention of her name from his lips jealously grows within me. He can tell that it's bothering me so he lifts my chin upwards so that he can stare into my eyes. For someone so cold, how, could he create such heat within me?
"Do you miss her" My voice is low.
"I will always remember her. But, she's my past."
A couple who were dancing, more like grinding, bump up against us knocking us closer. We laugh as we're pushed farther against a wall. Edward places both his hands on the side of my face staring at me once more. "You're my future, and it seems that we must stay close to each other." I nod my head.
"I want to be with you," He leans closer.
Perk of being in a crowded room, you get to stand as close to the person as humanly possible without looking ridiculous.
"You are my life now." I smile ,
If it wasn't for the darkness he would have seen the biggest blush flush across my cheeks.
"I don't care what Jacob says."
"You should he's your family. One day it'll all be right. He needs time."
"He needs to not want to strangle you every time he sees you." I say rolling my eyes.
"Minor details," he says with a side smile.
"What about your family? How would they feel about you bringing a dog home?" I tease.
"I want you to meet them, my mom and dad, they'll simply have to get used to it."
The song changes to something much more tantalizing. I don't want to talk about technicalities anymore. This music, this atmosphere, him being so close is being wasted. I wanted to share these moments with him cherish in the now because for this moment life seems so perfect. I don't care about the problems we had to face tomorrow there will always be problems. But tonight, being right here with him, I felt as normal as I have felt in my entire life.
"Dance with me," I whisper.
I take his hand and lead him closer into the dance floor where there are a small gap in-between people. The pink from the lights above us beam down on us illuminating us under its glow. All the other couples dance around us but they disappear, mere mortals, and we creatures of the night.
He wraps his arms around my waist and it feels as if they were made to fit perfectly there. I knit my hands behind his forehead. The air in the room is thin and people glint with trickles of sweat. This is magical. Perks of being in the dark? You can kiss whoever you want and no one could see.
So that is exactly what I do.
It starts off like a feathery tickle. Edward, partly a man out of time, probably wasn't use to kissing a female in public and a part of me believed he wouldn't go through with it. I move my lips across his to see if he'll comply. It doesn't take very long for him to open his mouth allowing my lips to fit perfectly in-between his. I can taste part sweat part breath sharing and combining our breathing. It's too perfect to unbelievably wonderful. I'm selfish and I want more. I pull him closer, if I were anyone else, he wouldn't have budged but because of my strength he thumps towards me. Our kiss deepens hands exploring. I move my lips towards his ear nibbling on it gently and he moans against my simplest of embraces.
"Leah," he tries to sound chastising. As if saying stop this, it's inappropriate. Do I care? Nope. Do I stop? Absolutely not.
"Oh, don't be so old-fashioned." I tease smiling up at him. He raises an eyebrow to me and as if he wants to challenge my words he lifts me up. I am nearly surprised as he places me against the wall strobe lights dancing around him. My back is pressed against the wall, heart thumping along my chest, legs straddling around him.
"Your racing heart suggests otherwise," he says before kissing the side of my neck exactly where my heartbeat is praising him. He must have a lot of strength because I know my heartbeat is driving him mad. I guess years of practice must have paid up. I try not to think too deeply about him because then Jake would hear everything.
Silence your thoughts Leah. I warn myself…silence.
He trails up to my lips and we dive back into each other's embrace. I rummage through his hair it's so soft like silk. My tongue hits the tip of his mouth and he moans against me, I push closer to him, as close as I possibly could. We fit, form, so perfectly against each other. My fingers breach under his shirt trailing upwards feeling his muscles against my fingertips. His right hand trails up my thigh sending the most wonderful sensations shooting through my veins like heroine.
Leah… Leah where are you!
Jacob echoes inside my thoughts. No I have to be dreaming he can't be trying to communicate with me right now. I won't listen…I don't want to listen.
Leah, this is serious? Where are you?
I break away from kissing Edward, lips swollen, a confused look on my face. He stares at me oddly.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm not sure, hold on, Jake's trying to reach me."
Edward lets me go and I regret it immediately.
"Wonderful timing as usual," he growls.
Jake, I'm out running what's up?
I think back to him.
I need you to come home quickly! There's something I need your help with.
Then he's gone and my head is silent. I sigh and turn to stare at Edward. I take his hand into mind and look at him regretfully.
"I'm sorry, but, you have to take me home.
Dun dun dun! Just wait until you see what's happening. Okay, so I know this chapter seems a little unrealistic, but hey, a girl can dream right? I still there that Edward would be an exceptional dancer and that you can't really see a sexier side to him in twilight, because, bella was so awkward in her own skin. So i went on a fantasy here and hopefully you all will like! Thanks for the comments. I will continue to update so please continue to give feedback and tell me what you want/like!
Till next time twerds:]
