Chapter 5, Amber Bauer
I don't know what made me kiss this guy I had only known a day. I was never that type of girl. Never the one to make the first move. But something about the way he spoke to me, maybe the fact that he seemed to memorize everything I ever said to him, maybe the fact that being near him made me feel whole again, or when he was away it felt like a steel band was tugging on my soul. But I was kissing this beautiful, wonderful guy that magically fell into my lap and made me feel like I wasn't a broken piece of trash anymore. I felt like I had known him my whole life, and it made me feel whole again.
I pulled back from him and buried my face in his neck, unable to look into his perfect brown eyes for fear of what I would see in them. Jacob's breath was ragged, uneven, and that made me more worried. His warm hands were still on my waist.
'' I'm sorry.'' I whispered into his neck, and I felt his frame shake a little with a husky laugh.
'' Why in the hell are you apologizing for the most amazing kiss I've ever experienced?'' Jacob was laughing, and I felt my face get hot with embarassment.
'' I had no right to. I'm sorry.'' Before I could continue, Keith was knocking on the passenger door of my truck. He muttered something about blocking the bay and Jacob jumped out quickly.
'' We will talk about this, okay? Quit freaking out. Be careful. I will see you tonight.'' He leaned over and kissed my lips quickly before closing the door. I drove away but I didn't get far before I had to pull over from the tears blurring my vision. Jacob was the most amazing guy, and way more than I deserved. I knew that something was going to ruin it soon enough. Something I did or said would scare him away.
I sighed as I pulled into the garage. I noticed a new volvo sitting in front of the policeman's house across the street. A pale boy with bronze hair stepped out. The first thing I noticed was that he was incredibly pale. The second thing I noticed was that he was beautiful. His eyes were a bright golden color and they shot to me as if I had shouted his name. And then I did. ''Edward Cullen?!''
