Jennie POV

Dark images and blood are present in my dreams, and I'm thankful when I finally wake, my naked body covered in sweat. The room is dark and I can see the moon in the sky. The ache in my chest tells me that Taehyung is gone before I even check his side of the bed. On his pillow I find a beautiful yellow, orange, and pink flower, along with a note

Angel,

I hate leaving you, especially when you are cuddled against me wearing absolutely nothing. You are sleeping so sweetly, I don't want to wake you. I've gone to the mainland to hunt. I should be back this afternoon. Be safe. I love you

Taehyung

The pain in my chest is becoming uncomfortable, and I have to last all day. I slip out of bed quickly, shivering as the air hits my sweaty skin, and find the shirt Taehyung wore yesterday. It smells just like him and it immediately eases my pain. Slipping it on over my head, I grab my blanket and wander downstairs. After throwing my blanket on the couch, I go into the kitchen to get a midnight snack. It takes me forever to find something that peanut is craving, and we finally settle on vanilla ice cream with chunky peanut butter stirred inside. It looks gross but peanut loves it. I fill a large bowl, and take it into the living room, curling up in my blanket. Flipping through the cable on the ridiculously huge TV, I finally I land on a some old black and white show, and let it relax me. Once I've finished my ice cream, I cuddle up in my blanket and let the sounds of Lucille Ball lull me back to sleep

The seagulls wake me again and I'm beginning to enjoy their morning songs. It's after 10 and I feel a million times better now that I've gotten some sleep. Taehyung still isn't home and that's means I'm on my own for breakfast. I steer clear of the eggs in the refrigerator and instead grab some milk to make cereal. I don't know why there is such a selection of food in a vampire's house, but I have a suspicion that it's Taehyung's doing

Peanut misses her daddy as she rolls around in my stomach, and I definitely know the feeling

"Don't worry baby. Daddy will be here soon" I tell her as I rub my belly. That seems to appease her for now as she stops her movements. I know she can't actually understand what I'm saying, but she loves when anyone talks to her-especially Taehyung. I can't wait until he can feel her excitement like I can

I take my time washing my dishes once I'm done eating, there's nothing better to do. Suddenly every speck of dirt in this room catches my attention and before I know it, I'm scrubbing the whole kitchen until it sparkles. I guess that's a good way to waste my time until Taehyung returns

As I go upstairs to change out of my now grimy shirt, the sun shining through the glass walls calls to me. Standing naked in front of my dresser, I try to choose the swimsuit for today. The black one-piece is cute, but I don't want to wear black in the sun. The polka dot, retro one-piece is also cute, but not really my style. The only one left that I haven't worn is the skimpy bikini Lisa insisted on packing. It's going to show a whole lot of skin, but the image of Taehyung's face when he comes home to find me in it convinces me

It's navy blue with small, white polka dots, and the color looks great against my newly tanned skin. It pushes my breasts up and together, and makes them look bigger than they actually are. The bottoms cover my front but the bottoms of my cheeks are sticking out. I have to admit, I look good. Taehyung has seen and kissed every inch of my body so I'm not really self-conscious anymore. I grab a towel from the linen closet and head out onto the sand. I told Taehyung I wouldn't swim without him, so I can't get in the water, but I can enjoy the sun on my skin. Taking my towel, I walk up onto the docks. I want to be the first thing Taehyung sees when he gets home. The side where the boat had previously been is empty, but on the other side is something I didn't see when we got here-a humongous hammock is built into one side of the dock. The bottom sits just above the water and it looks so comfortable

After several tries to walk onto the hammock, I have concluded that it's impossible. Finally I just lay on the edge and roll down into the middle, like a child rolling down a hill. I smile in triumph when I reach the middle, and close my eyes so I can relax. The coolness of the water against my back contrasts with the heat of the sun. The ocean isn't actually touching me, but I'm so close, I can actually feel the cold coming off of the water. The sun is high in the sky and I know that Taehyung will be home soon

I must have fallen asleep because the sound of an engine jolts me awake. I'm so tired lately, I can't seem to get enough rest. The sound of the boat is close, and I get insanely giddy that Taehyung is back

"Jen?" He calls out once the loud engine stops and the peaceful silence of the island returns

"Over here" I yell out keeping my eyes closed

"What are you doing out here? I'm sorry, I'm late. I had to go farther inland to find any big animals. The coast doesn't have..." His voice cuts out and I'm assuming he's seen me "Jen" He says in a deep voice "What are you wearing?"
