Surging Desire || CullensxOc

98

I checked out my black-tipped finger nails. Debating whether I should change the color for the third time today; already going through the red nail polish that made me cringe. The red had made my already long fingernails look like blood dripped from them. Yet that might just be what only I thought with my mindset. I had attempted the color pink but cleaned it off after only two nails were done, forgetting how much I hated the color. So here I was with black, black was good right? The color did go with everything, sleek and simple. Sophisticated, yet sexy. 

Giving up I toss the small bottle of polish back into the bin of makeup products. I didn't have much more time to nitpick at every little thing I needed to do. My hair had been braided down my back per Esme, who helped place a pretty black bow in my hair. I already had my black silk dress on that Rosalie had gifted me the same night my mates gave me my coven ring. Already knowing that Rose was going to be upset when she finds out I'm not wearing it for her, but for a specific immortal warlock. Ezra and I having our first date night now that things have settled down.

My own coven and I talked out everything and came to an agreement. Everyone in the Cullen household agreeing to not ever leave without telling someone in the home where they were going. Our relationships stronger than ever after our communication. Honestly they weren't mad at me, just upset I didn't tell them right away. They ended up getting over it, and I might have had to convince them to forgive me faster by taking off my clothes. But who knows?

It's been two weeks since our friends have went back to their respective homes. My birth mother went back to her home and is getting things settled and moved around there so she can move closer to Forks. Though none of us would be here much longer, Carlisle planning for us to move by the end of the year; we had six more months give or take. Ezra had went back for a week, and handle some warlock business before he came back. Benjamin and Tia being the only members part of a coven that had broken ties with their own coven. Leaving Amun to willow in his self pity with poor Kebi while the two youngest thrive on their own. Stefan and Vladimir on the hunt for vampires looking for sanctuary so they may build up their coven. Everyone else had fallen silent for a now, laying low until the time comes that other immortals realize the Volturi is no more.

When it comes to me, I haven't done much at all. Really just relaxing at home or going on hunting trips every couple of days. As well as getting back into my hobby of fashion design: it felt great to get back into something I loved to do. I have kept in touch with Angela, my only human friend from before my change that I still talked to. She seemed to be doing well, being in university for her second year at Harvard. I did find out from Carlisle that Olivia had transferred jobs and moved out of state. I felt bad that I never contact her, but after my dad she was the last person on my mind. Although I am happy that she got to get out of this town. I hoped she could find someone and build a happy life one day.

Now everything was perfect. No more fear of our family being targeted. No more worry about leaders who rule with an iron fist. The only thing I had to worry about was if this dress made me look fat.

Glaring into the mirror I huff and walk away before I change my mind. I was going on this date tonight if it was the last thing I did. Ezra came to me at a wild time, and we needed this. Time for me to get to know my mate and spend some quality time with him. I would finally be getting the time to find out who he is as a person and show him who I myself am.

I slip on my black sneakers because there is no way I would wear heels. Digging around in my closet I grab a handbag from the back of my closet. I had nothing in the bag, so I toss in some lip glosses and my wallet. The purse was more for the aesthetic aspect of my get up. But I also didn't mind paying for the date or splitting the bill for whatever we did.  I'm just happy I could finally go out in public, of course it would be a bit of a struggle. But I had been working on my self control since I changed, and Alice said that we would be okay to go.
