Twilight

14

"Tomorrow, Saturday, don't make any plans." Noah grinned. "I'm taking you out on a date, and I'm paying. No charity money. I'll pick you up at 8."

"At night or in the morning?" I wondered.

"Morning, babe. We're spending the entire day together."

He leaned over to kiss my cheek, but I turned too fast and we were now kissing. I had forgotten how amazing his lips tasted, and my eyes closed as his hands pulled me closed to him. I slowly moved over to his seat, pulling the lever that caused the seat to lay down. We kissed passionately, his hands going up my shirt, and then I felt something and pulled away, moving back to my own seat.

Noah apologized as he moved the seat back up and put his jacket over his pants. I smiled sheepishly, this was the first time I'd ever seen that happen to him.

"Don't apologize, it's normal." I softly chuckled.

Noah was red in the face, and then hid his face away from me. He didn't look at me, so I pulled his face towards me.

"What's wrong?" I chuckled.

"I've just... it's never been so visible before. I've been able to hide it from you plenty of times." Noah replied.

I grabbed his hand. "You mean this isn't the first time it's happened?"

"Of course not. You are unbelievably gorgeous and I just can't help it sometimes."

Before I could say anything, Luca pulled up in the driveway. I kissed Noah goodbye again and whispered the words, I love you. He whispered it back and I told him not to apologize. I exited the car and he reminded me of the time for our date tomorrow. As Noah drove away, I walked with Luca inside the house. Luca asked what happened and I said nothing. I was feeling a bit hungry, so I went to the fridge and gulped in some blood. I made a reminder to drink some more tomorrow before heading out with Noah.

The rest of the night was spent talking with Luca because ever since we both got a partner and joined clubs, we hadn't really spoken. He told me all about his relationship and I told him. Luca was completely falling in love but was still counting the days after graduation to tell Natalie what we are.

The night went by and then I went to my room. I spent the time filling my scrapbook up and editing the photos I had taken. So I made another reminder to take my camera while on our date because all I had in my camera were mostly football game photos. When it was six in the morning, I decided to begin getting ready. I fixed my hair, cleaned my teeth, and spent a long time trying on outfits. I drank a large cup of blood and then cleaned my teeth once more. I added a little makeup to look normal, and then finally chose an outfit.

When I checked the time, it was barely seven. I took the time in hanging up all of the clothes I tried on and once I finished, I decided to take some photos. I took an outfit photo, took a photo of Luca laying on his bed with his eyes closed, Carla drinking a glass of blood, and Nico making silly faces. Noah then arrived and my date with him was now starting.

I decided last minute to begin filming. I filmed myself opening to door to reveal Noah with the roses and me putting them in a vase. I also filmed as we were on the road, singing our hearts out to numerous of songs.

We stopped at a gas station where I filmed Noah walking in and out of the store and pumping gas. Then it was us goofing off in the car, and we finally reached our destination. Noah had planned for us to just spend a day of shopping, which he knew I enjoyed doing. So I filmed us trying on outfits and silly accessories. We also stopped at a craft store where we both went crazy and also bought some camera accessories.

We stopped at a food court where Noah ordered lunch for himself and then brought out a container for me. It was deer blood, my favorite. We laughed and spoke about things other than our lives such as politics, movies, bands, and traveling. Before I knew it, we were planning a road trip to see numerous places in each state.

As we walked around the city, we stopped to get a caricature drawing of us together. After that, we visited an art gallery, watched a movie at a theatre, did a little more shopping which was all being filmed while Noah took photos. I was having the time of my life because we hadn't done this in a while. Before heading back to Forks, we stopped at a restaurant because Noah was starving.

As we spoke, and he ate, I suddenly caught of a whiff after hearing Noah whisper a cuss word. My eyes grew wide and I stared watching his every movement as he called over a waiter for a band aid.

"I'm going to go wash this off." Noah stood. "Hey, babe." He waved his free hand before me and I snapped out of it.

I nodded okay and he left to the bathroom as the waiter came by and left cotton and a band aid and began taking our plates away. I asked for the bill and said I'd pay. Noah was taking a while so I paid the bill, left a tip, and quickly walked out. Not long after, Noah was by my side asking my what happened.

"I... I smelled your blood. I almost couldn't help myself." I whispered as we were now in his car. "Please take me home."

"Kora, you don't have to apologize. It's normal for you – I understand."

"Take me home." I raised my voice."

We went home as he tried to cheer me up but I was angry at myself, recalling to the time I couldn't help myself with an old boyfriend. I left as Noah pulled up to my house, not even waiting for the car to come to a complete stop.

"Kora, please." Noah shouted, standing out of the car.

"Go home Noah." I yelled back.

Luca immediately exited the house, looking angry.

"What did he do to you?" Luca began walking towards him.

I stopped Luca by grabbing his arm. "It was me."

Luca stared at me for a few seconds and then knew what I was talking about so he nodded and walked me inside as we left Noah alone.
