Sam's POV
If I had a chance to redo history I wouldn't redo a thing. My life was already perfect now. This was exactly what I've always dreamed and wanted. Being with Alec, no bindings. Alec himself was everything I ever wanted from a mate. He respected me and yesterday I had the confirmation that he didn't just see me as a body, something to entertain himself with. He truly loved me and it was no joke.
"Love, are you alright?" he asked me as I had been quiet for quite a few moments. "Alright? It must be the understatement of the millennium!" I said and he chuckled and kissed the top of my head. I snuggled deeper into his chest, taking in more of his wonderful scent. "You're right, it is. You're heavenly, Sam." he said but at the end, his voice was muffled as he buried his face in the space between my neck and shoulder. I laughed.
"I love your laugh Sam. It makes me want to laugh too." he said which made me laugh even harder. "Since when have you become so cheesy?" I asked him.
"So it must be true. Jane used to be really annoyed at me for that. Don't ever leave again because it damages me." he confessed solemnly. "I promise I won't ever leave you again. But don't worry. It's cute." I said. He kissed me and left his scent on my lips which I licked. Suddenly I got that vision feeling and fog clouded my eyes. I groaned. "I'm getting a vision." I said. He groaned too. The last time I had a vision after Alec and I made love it ended tremendously badly. "Watch it but please don't leave afterwards, or push me in a tree." he said.
"Of course I won't." I answered him with a smile and kissed him softly on his cheek. He hugged me tighter to him and I let the vision engulf me.
I was on a tree, at a perfect angle watching Alec and myself as we were in the present. Ah, we looked so cute! I heard a little sound come from next to me and found Daren, watching closely. I quickly broke the vision and back to reality I snapped my head to where Daren had been watching us. And he was really there. My eyes widened as Alec too looked at that direction and the sudden tension showed me he had realised that I had spotted someone in the tree. He suddenly shifted me in a position so that I could not be seen by Daren. We were both naked, and the only things between us and the ground were Alec's clothes so we didn't have much to cover ourselves with. "Daren!" I shouted at him. He was going to get hell for this when I got a hold of him. What was so important that he had to choose THIS moment to talk to me about it? From behind Alec I couldn't see anything but after a few moments Alec relaxed and put me back op on his lap as we had been before. But honestly with the awkwardness of the moment the romantic atmosphere had cracked. I got off Alec and put on one of his shirts. "God!" I said in frustration. I went to sit next to Alec who was squeezing his nose bridge. Man I just couldn't catch a break from problems.
"Sam, was that the vampire you turned?" he asked me in a very tired voice.
"Uh-huh."
"Why was he watching us, while we-" he started but the situation was already awkward, there was no need to put it in words.
"I don't know but he's going to get hell for it." I said weakly.
"Sam, does he have... feelings for you?" he asked me, his voice sounding very cold and mature.
"I think so. He... once asked me to teach him how to fight. I did and accidentally, he trapped me against a tree and… and he let go of me and well... it's easier if I show you." I said and showed him the vision in question. "In my mind it was you who was touching me, and I'm sorry Alec. I really am and I feel really guil-" he cut me of with a deep kiss on my lips. It was hard and demanding, I almost couldn't keep up. I thought he'd be mad at me, not kiss me like this. The feel of his lips on mine made my toes tingle. But I wanted to confirm something.
"Alec, aren't you mad at me?" I asked I felt my heart in my throat.
"Mad at you? Of course not, love. It's not your fault you're just too irresistible for your own good. But know this. I won't share you. With anybody." he said. I kissed him quickly. Wasn't he the best? "And I won't be shared. I'm yours Alec. I'll always be yours and yours only." I said to him. He engulfed me in a hug and rested his chin on my shoulder. "I'm the luckiest man on this planet." he said in a muffled voice. I lightly kissed his shoulder.
We knew we should be back to the others. He put on his clothes and I tried to put on his jeans which were too big for me. I had to roll up the cuffs four times and I was always pulling up the waist. But at least I was dressed. I decided we'd better go to the cottage so that we could get washed up and put on proper clothes. We ran together again, until we arrived. Thankfully no one was there so we could shower in peace. The cottage's shower was very small, as was everything else in the cottage. I removed Alec's ring and necklace so that I could shower thoroughly. We both entered the small shower and showered together. We washed each other's hair and I swear by the time we were done we were botch squeaky clean, not even a hint of mud or dirt on us. He put on a clean pair of clothes and I put on my underwear. Finally I went to my small closet where I decided on wearing a cute white camisole and a black half jacket on top of it. I topped the outfit with grey skinny jeans and a pair of black heeled boots. I put back on the heart shaped pendant and the ring, on the fourth finger of my right hand. I let my hair dry on its own and so did Alec.
When I looked at him he was studying me with a certain look in his eyes. His wet hair was falling in his eyes and droplets were forming on his forehead. I wiped them away. Man, he looked like a Greek god. "Love, not that you don't look killer sexy in that outfit but I remember you used to like more vivid colours." he said to me. I nodded. "Yeah, but opinions change. And our fashion senses would have clashed. But still I'll have to take you shopping. I'll bet my newest pair of shoes that all you brought were black shirts and jeans."
"Ah, you know me so well." he said and we both chuckled. "But from the few movies I watched to try to keep up to date with today's society the men always hate shopping." he said matter-of-factly. "Yeah... still it will be interesting." I glanced at both of us in the mirror. Yeah, we did look good together.
"Are you ready?" I asked him. He inhaled nervously. "I'm a little bit nervous. Get ready for many awkward moments if silence." he told me, his lips in a tight line.
"You shouldn't worry. They won't do anything. Just stay with me. And anyways they'll get used to you. I warn you, Emmett had a tendency to make quite smartass comments, so if he comments on our sex life, don't take it personally. He does it to every one." I said with a smile. He put an arm around me and squeezed me lightly to him. "Come on. Let's go."
We ran and stopped right in front of the Cullen's. Just as I was about to knock, a car pulled up in the drive way. Nessie, Danielle and Bonnie came out, with about twenty bags of clothes hanging on their arms. They were laughing together and talking as if they've been best friends for years.
"Hey, you two!" Nessie greeted us as she loaded more bags on her hands. I went to help her. "Hey, guys! I see you've been shopping; just one question. Did you leave anything for the other shoppers to buy?"
"Oh! Someone's been taking the bitchy pills!" she said as she fished for her keys in her enormous bag.
"Huh?" I asked her. Alec was looking questioningly at me too.
"The big bang theory. Raj about Penny." she said. "Oh! I've been meaning to start watching it! Man I love Sheldon!" I said, remembering the theoretic physicist as he cracked me with his unsocial skills.
"Don't you think that two guys are enough, do we need to add another one? Be careful, that would he considered slutty by many." I heard Emmett say. Both Alec and I frowned. "There's only one special guy for me and he's standing right here." I said and put my arms around Alec. He smiled down at me and so I reach up and kissed him lightly to make my statement clear. I shot a look at Emmett, daring him to comment further or even look disgusted. He just stared at us, and as Alec foretold stunned awkward silence followed. Hey! Who was the psychic between us?
Finally we heard the small sound of a pebble falling to the ground. I looked at Danielle. "Sorry. The silence was getting to me. So... We were thinking of ways how we could celebrate. And guess what! We're going clubbing!" she said. A look of utter doom fell on my face.
"Um... It's not... I don't think... please don't make me go!" I said. A vision of the entrance to Club Envy came to my mind. "How 'bout you Alec, do you want to come?" I looked up to him with a pleading look on my face. He grinned. "Sound like fun." he said. "Great! Sam suck it up, the limo will be here in two hours. We're gonna burn the roof of that place!" Bonnie said. She got a stern look from everyone. "Geez! Not literally!" she said. We all burst out laughing.
Alec's POV
"Wait!" Sam suddenly said from beside me. "Limo?" she asked.
"Yeah." Nessie said.
"No way! I had a really bad experience with limos once..." she said. She hadn't ever mentioned anything about limousines to me. I though women really liked them.
"I'm seriously curious to listen to this story. Knowing you it must be either really funny or really sad." Nessie said.
"Well, this time it's ironic, and bloody." she said. Suddenly more people joined us. "I went to get the others. It would be too bad if they missed it." Emmett said. She gave him an annoyed look.
"Oh, what the heck! I was human back then. I was reading a book when my friends came telling me about this amazing party at Club Envy. I didn't want to go but thy made me. After the rest of the guys came they told me that they hired a limo. And to make sure they completely ruined my night they set me up on a blind date behind my back. Then the limo arrived but it wasn't large enough so the girls ended up on the guys ergo I had to listen in insufferable silence as he made attempts at small talk. Then he went all bazinga on me and started talking about his hair. Then I asked him if he was gay and he got offended. I went agape shit on my friends and I left early. I didn't have enough money for the taxi so he stopped me two towns away from my house. I started walking, barefoot, as the high heels were killing me. Abracadabra, Gaius was lying in the middle of the road. Ended up buried alive as the venom spread." she ended dramatically.
"Wow. Okay Sam you get the privilege of not riding the limo. Now that that's settled, we're going." Nessie said. "What if tell you that we have nothing to wear to go clubbing?" Sam challenged.
"We'd give you these bags." Danielle said. "You're horribly great friends!" Sam said in a very awed voice.
"We know." they chorused together.
"Come on, we need to get doll-ified!" Nessie said and entered the house. Sam turned to me. "Think you'll be okay without me for the next hour or so?" she asked me.
"Of course." I said. "Would you mind filling the car? It's almost out of gas. There's a petrol station about five miles from here. Just get to the main road and keep driving straight." she said. I nodded. I was curious to find out what kind of car she had. She walked over to the garage and opened it. "Here she is." she said and walked over to a black Audi. "You've got style, love." I said as I got in. She was about go give me the car keys wrapped in a hundred dollar bill when instead she kissed me lightly. "I'll miss you." she said. "I'll miss you more!" I said. She giggled and went to join the others. I started the car and pushed lightly the gas pedal. I pressed the remote attached to the car doors Sam had given me and the garage door slid down behind me. Suddenly I felt a thump next to me and a boy, I instantly recognised as Daren sat next to me.
"What do you want?" I asked him. "The girl you were lucky enough to get. You don't deserve her! You don't belong here." he said to me.
"Listen, brat. I don't care what you think, but I swear if you ever interrupt us or make Sam and me uncomfortable I'll kill you and believe me I'll make it hurt. She's my mate. She's MINE! Don't try to get between us." I said to him.
"I pity her. She's with a monster and she doesn't even notice. Don't worry, try to kill me. It will only make you look bad in front of her. Go back to where you came from, parasite." he said. My anger levels were soaring. Did this little kid actually believe he could threaten me? I could snap his neck and he wouldn't even be aware of it till he saw no more. I grabbed him by his neck without ever lifting my eyes from the road. "You're still young and you may not get this, but me and Sam are mated. Vampires mate for life so there's no way you can divide us. Had you meant nothing to Sam I would have hunted you down and killed you. And believe me, if you think you're skilled at fighting I can't even imagine how high I would rank by those standards. I don't want any bad blood between us because of Sam so give up." I told him. I removed my hand from his throat and he instantly jumped out of the convertible.
