We sprinted into the forest and I snacked on the first few elk I could find. After I got my squeeze, Alec took the lead. We went further through the forest, further than I had ever been until he halted suddenly.
"I want you to close your eyes." he whispered softly at me. At first I wanted to argue. This was all too secretive for my tastes, but Alec looked all so happy and eager.
"Okay," I muttered under my breath. I left my eyes just barely open, peeping through my eyelashes.
"Hey, no peeking!" I responded him by a big fat moan. I heard him chuckling beside me as he took my hands. I thought he was going to lead me to wherever he wanted to take me but instead he scooped me from under my knees and carried me bridal style. I couldn't help the surprised "Whoa!" He carried me like that for about five minutes. I took the opportunity and leaned on his chest. I inhaled his marvellous bittersweet scent. I felt my heart flutter as I thought how lucky I was, to be able to even be this close to him. I was willing to bet most girls would sell their soul for his one kiss.
"Okay, we're here," he said softly. "You can open your eyes now." he was still holding me tightly in his arms. I opened my eyes slowly and as the light filled my eyes, I swear I was surrounded the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. There was a small cottage, standing under a cover of trees. A few sun rays infiltrated through the thick greenery, and the visible dust motes sparkled in the light and looked like crystal dust.
The cottage had a slanting roof with ceramic stone stabs and black curly bars at the windows, and the stone looked it had been there forever but I could still smell the cement. The ground was covered in short grass, which was still covered in dew drops. And to make the place look even more heavenly, there was a pond, filled with sea blue, immaculate water that you would expect a mermaid to swim up and somersault in the air. This was the place I always imagined when I would read Snow White. Who knows, perhaps seven cute dwarfs would come out of the cottage!
"Oh. My. God. Alec, this is beautiful!" I said as I struggled to go back on firm ground. I took my gym bag from his hands and pulled out the camera. I took a photo of the scene and Alec came from behind me and put his hands on my waist.
"I'm glad you like it. It's all in a day's work." he said matter-of-factly, but he couldn't hide from me the pride he was feeling.
"You went through all of this work just for me? Why?"
"I wanted to make you feel happy because well I... feel a very profound, tender er... passionate affection for you." he said, in such a manner that was impossible to understand.
"Erm... Come again?"
"I ... I love you, Sam." he said. This time his voice was barely a whisper but I understood every simple word he said. I was simply paralysed. I couldn't help it but I let the camera drop like some idiotic moron. Unlike me, Alec was quick. He was ready to catch the heavy metal device before it crashed into a zillion pieces on the ground. Suddenly he started looking uncomfortable. I realised I should say something.
Say something, moron! He has just said he loved you and you just stand there like an idiot. But what the fuck was I supposed to say? Me too?
"Oh Alec!" I said and stepped closer to him. He held his arms towards me and I stepped into his cool embrace. He tilted my head up at the perfect angle and kissed me softly. Though the kiss was brief it was filled with suppressed passion and sweetness.
"Alec... I ... Nobody has ever told me that. I though you didn't like like me."
"And why would you think that? I had some doubts myself too. It seemed impossible to expect that you would feel the same for me."
"Why would you ever doubt that? You're the only reason I'm still here." I said solemnly. His eyes suddenly turned so soft I could almost see golden wisps in the blazing burgundy. The smile on his lips was breathtaking. A sense of home hit me then. I felt like I truly belonged for the very first time. Hell, I think I started to believe in destiny from the very first time. It looked as if I was born to turn into a vampire and meet and fall in love with Alec. Ah, love! I was truly, madly in love with Alec. No joke! It had never crossed my mind to believe that I would love somebody who loved me back.
"Come on, you need to see the inside. I spent a whole day building that cottage and it would break my still heart if you don't like it." he said which made me giggle. He took my hand in his and led me towards the cottage. He opened the door which cracked slightly. The first room was small, but it was all I could ever ask for. It consisted of a round table and two chairs. A large vase full of roses dominated the room.
"I already like it!" I said and approached the roses to inhale their heavenly smell. I the middle laid the most beautiful flower I had ever seen. It was a simple rose with the most alluring scent and colour. It was the darkest shade of burgundy I had ever seen, it was such a deep red it was almost black.
"Oh my, how did you manage to find it?"
"I grew it myself. Though chemistry isn't really my cup of tea, it's really easy to manipulate nature. Huh, as if we weren't living dead proof of that." he said, sounding a little bitter at the end.
"Well, it's simply marvellous and unique. Just like us." I said. He came from behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist and fit his chin on my shoulder. I heard him suck in air and inhaling my scent. I took a deep breath and realised for the first time how similar our two scents were. They were both sweet but at the same time bitter though his was even bitterer than mine.
"I love you, Alec. You are my first and only true love. And it will be like that for me till the day somebody ends me." I muttered. I felt all loved up and romantically giddy for the very first time in my life, and it's a very, very good feeling.
"That will never happen, love. As long as I'm walking this earth I'll never leave you. I'll protect you with my life." he said all warrior like.
"Me too. I'll be right there trying to fight with you."
"Yes, love. Now why don't you fight your way with those ribbons?" he asked me smiling as he handed me the box.
"Wait, let's take pictures! I want to remember every single thing we do here." I said and got the camera.
"Don't you want to see the other room? It's much more spacious." he said and took my hand in his and led me towards the turquoise curtain. He pushed it away and a large room with a king sized bed came into view. My girly instincts told me to jump on the bed and that's exactly what I did. In a fraction of a second I found two strong arms around me. We tumbled and tossed around on the bed, which ended in a passionate fit of little butterfly kisses. I unbuttoned his shirt until he was bare-chested. He pulled up my shirt until I was just standing in my shorts and bra. He didn't try to remove my underwear this time and I really appreciated it.
"Okay, so are we going to take those photos?" I asked him. He nodded so I arranged my hair and leaned my head on his.
"Smile." he said and pushed the button. The picture came out and we looked like two cute love doves.
"Perfect!" I said.
"Now, will you please open the box? I can't wait to see your expression."
"Alright." I said and with my pinkie's nail I sliced through the ribbons. I opened the box and inside I found a plain black bikini with spread crystals all over the material covering the breasts. It was quite simple but it was just the type of swimsuit I always imagined myself wearing.
"Thanks Alec, it's really nice and awfully convenient. It would not have been the same swimming in my underwear, especially since it is probably going to get rough."
"Oh yeah!" he said eagerly. "So, I guess I'd better let you change. I'll be waiting for you outside."
"'Kay." I said and waited until he left. I heard the door close and got up from the bed and phased the length of the room until the mixture of hormones, butterflies and happiness calmed down.
I was all alone with my boyfriend, we had just proclaimed our love for each other and we were probably going to do some restricted, heavy making out. That ought to make a girl's nerves increase. I jumped once more on the bed and tossed around. I was still excited. Really excited.
Though I knew that Alec would not do something as silly as hang around the windows to watch me undress, the thought of undressing with him only a few metres away made my body temperature rise.
I put my invisible big girl pants on and took off my shorts. I faced away from the windows and took off my bra and put on the swimsuit top instead. I didn't want to remove Alec's diamond necklace from my neck. I guessed a little water wouldn't damage it. I took of my lacy black underwear and instead put on the black swimsuit bottoms. I pulled out a little compact mirror to check the outcome. The black material made my white skin glow and my dark brown hair looked slightly wavy. The only thing that was bothering me was that the bikini top. Let's just say it didn't leave much to the imagination and showed a lot of cleavage. Though there was no way my boobies were going to pop out, no matter how rough we played, I wasn't used to having so much skin showing. Still I didn't look bad. I actually looked sexy. Alec would really appreciate my outfit.
And so I lived everybody's teenage dream and went to have some fun, hopefully clean fun with my boyfriend.
Alec's POV
How can a woman take longer than half an hour to change from a half-dressed state to naked to half-dressed? I was beginning to worry, but what was I supposed to do? If I went to check on her and found her indecently dressed or even nude she would never talk to me and it would shatter our relationship, which was at its strongest. I managed to confess my love to her, and she told me she loved me too. Right now, I was the happiest being on earth. She had finally yielded herself to me. I felt something totally unfamiliar for me. Though my heart was still, I felt as if it was tingling. I was pacing back and forth and I felt more restless than ever. I still couldn't believe that a woman actually made me act this way. She had total control on me and I couldn't care less. I heard the door open and she came out, her left hand on her right shoulder and legs tightly squeezed together. She looked as if she was feeling shy and embarrassed but still looked lovely as ever.
Then something snapped in my mind and I got a brilliant idea. I hid behind some bushes so that she wouldn't find me. She was looking everywhere for me and I could almost feel panic radiating off of her.
"Alec, where are you?" she said softly, as if she was afraid it would wake someone up. I didn't answer her so she looked twice more around her. Then she walked to the pond and gracefully dipped her toes in the water. I took my chance then. I hurried up to her and lifted her up in my hands and threw her in the water. Her shouts turned into giggles which dissolved in the water
"You did NOT just do that!" she said after she dived up to the surface.
"I'm afraid I did." I said with fake despair.
"Oh, yeah! You know, two can play at this game!" she shouted at me and in a second she was swimming in the water and in the next she was next to me. Only then I noticed how provocative and utterly seductive the swimsuit made her look. The black material emphasised her voluptuous curves and the top showed enough cleavage to make a man insane. I was starting to feel incredibly hot, as if the temperature around us had suddenly risen. Fortunately I hit the water in a fraction of a second as Sam pushed me. The water calmed my arousal. I swam up, only to be plunged back in the water as Sam jumped on me. Her body collided with mine and we both went underwater. I opened my eyes in the water and found Sam staring at me. We must have stayed like that for minutes, entangled in each other and just looking at each other. I couldn't take it anymore, so I kissed her. Hard. She responded quite nicely, and so we continued kissing ferociously underwater.
