— Madison

"You look nice," Paul suddenly spoke. I faintly smiled at him, then down at my lap, "thanks."

"We're here," he announces as he parked the car next to the others. He took out his keys and placed them on the cabinet door, making sure the doors were unlocked.

"Maddie!" Amanda and the rest of the boy's waves at me, some girls smiling gently.

"Guys this is Madison Stormy my best friend." Amanda introduced me to some girls who were sitting on a picnic table. A numerous of hellos and nice to meet you'd were heard around the table, making me smile softly.

I sat next to Amanda as they all started a conversation with each other, making me look where the boys were at. Paul was standing next to Sam and Jacob as they talked to themselves. Seth and Jared were fooling around with Brady and Collin. Quil and Embry were walking up the rocky steps that led down the sand where the makeshift stairs met the ocean water.

Swiftly my eyes diverted to Paul and Sam where Jared was shoved into the edge of the cliff and was pushed down. I took in a breath and cleared my mind, they're just cliff jumping - nothing to worry about.

"Do you guys cliff jump?" I asked the girls, who were cheering for the boys. Emily shook her head, "they won't let us, it's a 'guy thing'" she rolls her eyes.

"Don't you want to?" I asked again, staring at her in the eyes then back where the boys were having fun. "If I wanted to they'll have a heart attack. For us girls, it's suicide while for them it's an adrenaline booster."

I hummed to myself.

"No." Amanda shook her head at me. I narrowed my eyes at her, "what?" I asked innocently.

"That face of yours, it always gets one of us in trouble. Mostly me." She pouts.

I shrugged, "girls can work it better."

"But you don't even know how to cliff jump." She whines, softly whispering to me. I smirked at her, "what was that saying you used to say? Oh right! You only live once."

"Oh so now you're listening to me?!" She whispers shouts, I shrugged her off standing up and removed my shorts and Paul's shirt. "Watch, I betcha sorry ass wouldn't even do this."

I sauntered off where the boys were fooling around. A smirk plastered on my face as I almost neared them, Jared notices this as he smacks Paul on the chest to look at me.

Paul glares at him but soon his eyes landed on me as I walked over near them. "Don't do it!" Amanda yells from behind me, little did she know that made me boost even more.

So I did what they were afraid of, I took a head start run and speed down the cliff — finally feeling of air rush at my face as I did a twirl midair and landed on the water deep ends.

I smiled at myself as I reached the surface from where the yelling was at. The boys were shouting down at me to get back up while the girls were cheering.

"Madison!" Paul yelled out from my side. I yelped as I saw his face, I gulped down my nervousness and looked anywhere else but him.

"You could've gotten hurt!" He shakes, swimming towards me. He placed both of his arms around my waist, making me frown at his touch.

I didn't feel the need to scream out to him to not touch me, what confused me more was that I yearned for him more than I should've had.

"You could've killed yourself!" I looked up at him from our pressed chest to his eyes. They were dark, he was mad. "Do you have any idea what you could've done to me? Amanda? Your mom?"

At this, I looked down ashamed but shook my head. "It's not fair that you guys have fun while the girls are sitting down gossiping like teenagers, we as well have an adrenaline rush in case you didn't know." I glared into his eyes.

"Yeah and that could've gotten you killed!" He snaps. "I could've lost you, you silly girl!"

"Why do you care huh? Why all of a sudden an interest in me?!" At this both of our soft voices were raised, it was an argument we both were stubborn at.

He did what made me want him even more. He placed his lips roughly on mine, making a sudden moan escape from me. My hands were laced behind his head as he pressed himself at me, my back pressed against the rocky wall, making me more excited than what I expected.

Soon our lips were battling for one another but that didn't stop him from winning for dominance, a growl escaped from him making me whimper in absolute submission.

We tore our lips from each other and breathed out heavily, my heart was plundering so loudly that I'm pretty sure he could've heard. I looked up at him and was mesmerized as he was staring me already.

"Because I am utterly obsessed with you." Was his response before he carried us out of the water and walked us to the shore.
