Chapter 5: Camping continues
Thanks for the people who reviewed I really owe you all Cathy and Seth lovers here is the chapter
Minor Role of Eric who is Cathy's boyfriend she met in Forks High…
Cathy
Being here in Lake Monroe Indiana was incredible, and still is. The Mason's are very entertaining and I've made lots of friends during this short vacation, meeting lots of new people, and of course having my family with me made it all worth it
Whilst I'm enjoying my time here, my love life however isn't as great. Not that we have a problem, Eric is just being an amazing boyfriend an girl could ask for, but I just can't bring myself to the fact, I'm not such a good girlfriend, why? Well the feelings I've been having have came back to haunt me, and they've just expanded to something bigger and I have no idea what to do
It started this morning and afternoon, where I caught Laura's cousin Tess 'flirting' with Seth and I couldn't help but feel like dismantling her, and sure she didn't do anything to me, it's just seeing her with him infuriates me, everytime I see her with him. I feel like grabbing her redhead head and feeding it to the dogs. Is this Jealousy? Of course it is, but I promised myself I wasn't going to do anything about it, Seth is just a friend and who am I to say who he should date, right? (God this is exactly like Nicholas Sparks book), anyway, I have no idea what to do
I was lying on my cabin bed just staring at the ceiling and thinking things through with my eyes shut, when I heard a sudden bang on the door, I groaned loudly,
"Who is it?" I shouted across the room
"Room service" he said with a husky voice, I rolled my eyes but had a light smile plastered on my face. I got off the bed to answer the door, and sure enough Eric was standing with a huge grin on his face
"Hey sleepyhead" he joked, I rolled my eyes and pulled him into a tight hug
"I wasn't sleeping…just resting my eyes" I said to him, he scoffed and nodded sarcastically as we pulled apart from the hug. He made his way to my side of the bed and sat on the edge; I sat the opposite side of him and lay my head on his broad shoulder
"Today was fun" he said as a matter of fact, I sighed and nodded
"Yeah it was" I said slowly, he turned to look at me with a frown
"Are you okay?" he asked me with such concern and love, oh I wish I could return. I just nodded, he didn't seem too convince, because he lifted my chin so our eyes locked "What's wrong?" he asked me, I stared into his dark green eyes which had such emotion that made me melt. I nodded reassuringly with a smile
"Yeah, just a little tired" I lied but fortunately he believed me and kissed my forehead
"Want me to come back later?" He asked me with such sympathy which just made me smile; one thing I loved about Eric was he was always persistently respectful, I smiled "Yeah," I said, he smiled and leaned in to give me a peck on the lips
"Thank you" I said pulling away from our kiss, his eyes furrowed in confusion
"For?" he asked with a light chuckle, I shrugged
"For being the best boyfriend ever" I replied, he grinned widely and kissed me again, this time more passionately and demanding. I then throw my arms around his neck pulling him closer and collapsing on the bed, we giggled lowly before kissing again. He roamed his hand on my bare thigh pulling my leg closer to him and I grabbed a fist full of his silky curly hair and bringing his head closer. What shocked me the most with this kiss was, I wasn't thinking Eric…I was thinking of Seth... I envisioned myself kissing Seth instead of Eric…I abruptly pulled away from him and he just frowned
"What? Is it too much?" he asked in panic, I shook my head and up, he guffawed slightly non-humorously "I'm sorry Cathy, I just lost control, and I didn't mean to straddle your la…" he apologized quickly but I cut him off
"No it's not that…um you gotta go" I said trying not to sound harsh; he nodded understandingly and got up from the bed, he grabbed the doorknob before opening it and turn
"I love you" He said with his cute angled smile, my eyes widened in complete and utter shock, did he just say he loved me? He caught my expression and changed it "…I mean I like you…um…bye" he said embarrassedly and just left, I stood there in shock not moving a muscle
I stood at the same spot for what felt like a life time but literally only two minutes before I kept up with my breathing. That was the first time Eric ever confessed that to me, yeah sure he has said 'I love you' to me before, but it was more of in a mocking way or when I was upset with him. But he has never showed it with the affection and sincerity he just showcased today
I exhaled a shaky breath "Wow…" I murmured to myself and chuckled even though the situation I was in, wasn't amusing at all, What Eric said really got to me, I mean we haven't been together that long, but we've been friends for two years so I wouldn't be surprised, Did he just say that for the sake of it? Or did he genuinely mean it? Did I even feel the same way?
Time went by and I decided I'd go out for a while, I mean I was feeling a bit lonely here, even though I told everyone not to disturb. I left my room and made my way to wherever I'd spot someone, but all I really wanted to do was just be alone(weird because I feel lonely)my mind was going ballistic and playing tricks on me, I walked to what felt like forever around the camp until I spotted a wooden bench near the lake. I sat on it and let out a dramatic sigh as I heard the birds chirping in the grey sky and the wind blowing the trees. I smiled slightly as I breathed in the deep nature scent
"Looks like somebody's enjoying the weather" a huskily voice said from behind me, it startled me and I jerked away from my trance, he guffawed lowly
"Don't creep up on me like that Seth!" I warned narrowing my eyes at him with my hand pressed against my chest, he chuckled
"I guess you're accustomed to horror movies" he joked sitting on the bench next to me, I rolled my eyes
"Sorry, I was just thinking things through that's all" I said truthfully, he nodded understandingly
"You're missing out hey, they're playing with squirt guns" he informed me, I heard sounds of kids screaming happily and that's when I realized he was soaking wet and his wet shirt flattened on his toned body revealing his muscles and his russet skin, and his cropped hair now flattened in watery spikes, I also drooled over him…almost
"Um…No…its okay…wasn't really up for it anyway" I told him with my voice stuttering at the coldness
"It's a bit chilly outside huh" he asked me, I nodded slightly as the wind made a low whoosh motion "Here" he said handing me his hoodie which he put around my shoulders "Thought you might've needed it" I smiled
"Oh please, you were gonna use it for yourself, you wouldn't have spotted me that far" I said teasingly, he gave me an eye roll
"Hey, werewolf eyesight, remember?" he said like it was pretty obvious, I stuck my tongue out at him
"Well thanks for the gesture" I said sincerely he smiled in return, he stood up and held his hand out for me, I frowned in confusion
"Come on" he said with his signature Seth smile, I deepened my frown "Just come" he said, I sighed but took his hand, we started walking along the path swaying our intertwined hands backwards and forwards in a swift motion
"The weather's cool" he blurted out, I snorted lowly "What?" he asked in confusion
"Wow…You talking about the weather?" I said laughing slightly; he shrugged smiling at me "Well I don't know it's chilled…literally" I said and we both chuckled, we walked down the lake land
"So how's that Fredrick guy of yours?" he asked me. I rolled my eyes
"It's Eric…" I said sternly, he just put his hands in the air "and he's perfectly fine thank you" I answered, he just guffawed "…How are you and Tess doing?" I asked raising my eyebrow; he's eyes furrowed in confusion…or was it shock?
"Me and Tess?" he asked, I nodded
"Yeah I mean, she seems to really like you, and you guys seem…flirtatious'" I said quoting the words, he scoffed
"There's nothing going on with me and Tess" he said with a huff. I shrugged
"I don't know, she's really fond of you" I joked with a light laugh. He sighed and came to a complete halt, I frowned "What?"
"There's only one girl on my mind" he said staring deep into my eyes "I wanted to do this a lot later than this, but it just seems right" he said slowly deep into thought
"What is it?" I asked him, he took a deep breath and took a step closer to me
"You need to know the truth Cathy, it's killing me that you don't know what I feel towards you, you need to know that I'll be there for you with whatever you desire, and you need to know…that I love you" he said with such passion it made my heart ache, I sucked in a breath
"Seth…" I said slowly, he just took one step closer
"I love you Cathy, I know you feel the same way" He said, I sighed
"Seth, I thought we'd just be friends" I said sternly
"I know that, but, what I'm feeling can't just be one way, feelings deflect on the imprinted and I know you feel something for me" he said slowly looking deep into my eyes, I could swear he saw into my soul, I looked away from his gaze onto the quiet lake. My mind was telling me to just forget about this and tell him I don't feel anything about him, but my heart was telling me another. Should I listen to my gut instinct or my other conscience?
He sighed "But…I know I can be whatever you want me to be, and if that requires just being your friend, than that-" he began but I cut him off by pulling his face in my hands and kissing his warm soft lips with such passion and anticipation, he was hesitant at first but soon got into it. Kissing Seth was way better than kissing Eric, kissing him was like being in heaven and not caring if there was a nuclear bomb coming our way, whilst kissing Eric was a whole other situation. It was almost bland and not so passionate but kissing Seth made me realize... I loved him, all these feelings I've been having wasn't just some big crush, it was pure and utter love, I pulled away, way too soon gasping for air, I lay my hands on his shoulders which soon slid down his torso
"Um…" was all I said blushing slightly, he smiled with his gorgeous grin
"I was right wasn't I?" he said raising his eyebrow, I blushed scarlet "That should've been our first kiss" he sighed
"This was our first kiss" I stated he just rolled his eyes
"Remember what happened a month ago?" he asked me. I nodded realizing the encounter we almost had, I blushed even more, curse my human side. He laughed
"I love seeing you blush" he said tracing circles on my lips, I gasped in realization
"My parents and Eric" I gasped
"Don't worry about Eric" he said to me
"He's going to be torn and my folks will cause and make a hissy fit, especially my mother, I don't know about this Seth" I said sadly "Don't you we should wait for their sake, I mean I'm five after all"
"Do you look five" he asked raising his eyes, I shook my head "then don't worry about the old people, I'll deal with them" he said like it wasn't a big deal
"Seth…My dad will rip you to piece and who knows what Rosalie Hale will do to you, and here you are, acting like this isn't a big deal?" I exclaimed my voice rising slightly
"At least I'll die happy" he said with a smile, I rolled my eyes and punched his gut, he flinched playfully
"This isn't funny Seth, I don't wanna lose my soul mate just yet" I said for the first time, it sounded foreign. Seth caught it too
"Soul mate huh" he said jollily, I rolled my eyes "Ok let's do this…" he began but I interrupted him
"Can you just let me think this through first…This is all surreal to me and I need to wrap my mind around it first please?" I said, he nodded
"Take all the time you need, I'll wait for you even if it means forever" he said with a sincere grin
"You really shouldn't have said that" I told him with a non-humorous snigger "Now you make me feel awful" I said sadly, he looked at me with an apologetic small smile. God this guy better stop it because I just might eat him up
"Why?" he asked pulling me closer, I grunted at his tight grip which just made me smile
"That's pressuring me to make the decision faster" I said my head at the crook of his neck
"Ok" he just said and kissed my head "I'm going back…wanna come?" he asked in invitation, I smiled
"Yeah, I'll meet you there" I informed him, he nodded before running back to the main land, I sighed as I watched him depart from me. I had to make a decision and fast, I mean I love both Eric and Seth, I just don't wanna see either of them hurt, whether it's Eric or Seth, I have no idea, but someone will in the end and I'll be accustomed to it…
This was going to be a long weekend to remember…
What did you all think? Not too shabby? Well I'll accept your criticisms to heart
