Seattle, Washington

December 2010

Seattle was unlike anything I had ever seen before. There were cities in Texas but nothing like this. My eyes stared out the window of the car as we drove through the rainy city. It was like the rain was washing away all the bad, in a cleanse of the city. I knew unless Peter went to the bad areas and depleted the criminal world, this city would never be cleansed.

Peter, of course, didn't care about money. To think before I met him, I was pinching pennies just to make it to the next day for food, bills, and clothes. Now, with Peter I didn't have to do that. I could afford the penthouse suite with room service, I could get the expensive car without a worry. I thought momentarily of my family who were no doubt still pinching those pennies to afford decent food.

Apparently Garrett was already in town because as we boarded the elevator to the penthouse suite, he was climbing in with us.

"Took you guys long enough," Garrett said snickering at Peter and I.

Peter just glared while I rolled my eyes. Garrett loved getting under Peter's skin. I'd have to remember to thank Garrett. I think without him Peter wouldn't have been the vampire that I fell in love with. Peter had been alone most of his vampire existence and I think Garrett's friendship is what kept him alive.

Of course the suite was beautiful, large, and spacious, but I didn't see the point honestly. We wouldn't be here that long and the room would be wasted.

"Why don't you go freshen up? I promise Garrett and I won't go over plans until you're at my side. I can tell you want a shower and some actual food. I'll order room service, it will be here when you get out," Peter said smiling down at me before pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I giggled feeling so loved by this man, this vampire, that I didn't know what to do with my self. I left Peter and Garrett in the living room area of the suite as I headed toward one of two bedrooms. The bathroom was glorious, nothing compared to home, but beautiful nonetheless. I pulled out some lounge clothes since we wouldn't be seeing Jasper until tomorrow when the sun returned to a high point in the sky. The hot water against my skin felt amazing after being without a shower for a good twenty four and a half hours. I felt refreshed as I stepped out staring at my reflection in the mirror which I had avoided before.

My brown eyes were bright and my cheeks flushed. It was probably a combination of the shower and my conversation with Peter. I had wanted to keep that in my head, my plans to be changed by both Peter and Jasper during our first intimate moment. Though telling Peter relieved a lot of stress from my shoulders. I had been worried what he'd think, if he'd reject me. If his reaction meant anything, I knew he was thinking about the prospect. I think he sometimes wondered why I never pushed him further than a make-out or anything. Maybe he thought it was because Jasper wasn't there, that was part of it, but I just wanted them both at the same with me.

Just like with Jasper it wouldn't feel right just us without Peter during the first time. It's what I felt and I couldn't fault myself for that.

I grabbed the black stretch pants tugging them up my legs.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Alright in there, Sweet Pea?" Garrett asked through the door.

"Garrett, you know I'm fine. You can hear my heart and everything..."

"That's sort of the problem. Your heart picked up, just checking. Peter's grabbing your food from the door."
