Twilight (Quil and Claire)

Chapter 17

~Claire's POV~

Rachael and Paul had left on their honeymoon two weeks ago.

School was gonna start back in a week. I didn't want to go. Emily decided to homeschool since I had had a dramatic summer. And I didn't want to see Kole.

Quil and I hadn't really talked about our feelings.

~FLASHBACK~

~Quil's POV~

Claire and I were gonna meet on 1st beach. I was planning on telling her about imprinting.

I woke up and had a shower and got dressed.

I drove down to the beach and waited. She got there a few minutes after me.

"Hey," I said and hugged her.

"Hey."

"You look beautiful", I whispered in her ear.

"I'm not wearing the dress anymore", she reminded me.

"It's not the dress that was beautiful", I corrected her.

I felt her smile against my shoulder.

We pulled apart and started walking down the beach.

We didn't say anything for a while. We just admired the beach.

She stopped walking and faced me.

"Okay, you re killing me here. What do you want to talk about?" she asked me.

I chuckled.

"Well.......I'm pretty sure we hadn't planned that kiss," I started.

She blushed.

"Yeah, sorry about that," she said still blushing.

"Don't apologize. I just wanted to know why you did it", I said while smiling.

"Well......"

~Claire's POV~

Shit.

I thought it was obvious who I kissed him.

I knew he felt that spark like I did. And he kissed me the second time!

I knew he was pulling my leg. He knew why he just wanted me to say it out loud.

I smiled at him.

"I think you know why...." I said to him.

He smiled.

"Can you tell me anyways?" he asked politely.

I noticed that we were both leaning in. Our noses almost touched.

"I love you," I whispered.

His eyes lit up. He leaned forward and close the space between us.

He kissed me so passionately I had the breath knocked out of me.

It felt good to be loved by him.....in this way. And I loved him just the same.

He pulled away and looked at me.

I could there was something else he needed to tell me.

I waited.

He started to say something, but was interrupted by my phone.

Damn it! I thought it silenced it.

"Sorry...." I said and pulled out my phone.

It was Emily. She knew I was with Quil so I worried something was wrong.
