‘Wow’
We were both stood, hand in hand, on the tip of the cliff. It was gorgeous and absolutely breath-taking. The sea stretched out in-front of us and formed a straight line right at the horizon. A delicate array of candy-apple, red, buttermilk, apricot, avocado, jasmine, oyster-pink and midnight blue all merged together to create an illusion that made them look so close that I wanted to reach my hand out a touch them. I squeezed Tristan’s hand,
‘Isn’t it just?’ We stood there for 2 or 3 minutes just watching. All that was on my mind was that this moment is perfect. Every cloud has a sliver lining, right? Maybe Tristan was my sliver lining. After loosing everything; my family, my mortality, this could be the one thing that makes all that pain go away. Tristan not only numbs the pain, but he creates happiness and joy and love around it. He wraps me in it, cradles me in warmth and care. I turn to him and just admired him for who he is. This one person can make my life worth living; he can make it all go away by just being there. I could tell him. I could. Could I?
‘Hey’ he barely whispered ‘what are you thinking?’ Could I tell him? Could I admit my deepest wishes to him? Lust, Love, Passion, Fear, Longing, Pain.
‘You.’ I murmured and gave him an apologetic smile. He smiled and gazed deep into my eyes. A ribbon of hair escaped from behind my ear, which he caught and tucked it behind again. His hand lingered around the nape of my neck. He traced a line up my throat to the edge of my jaw then continued to run his thumb along my cheek-bones, up across my eye-lids then down my nose to my lips. He paused at my lips and I heard his heart speed up. My lips parted slightly and I lightly held his thumb in-between both my teeth. Just a little harder and I could easily break his skin and release the warm, liquid inside. Just bite down. No. I’m no monster. No normal person would even consider drinking the one-the-love’s blood. If I truly loved him I would let him go, and that’s what I’ll do when it comes to it. For now, I will treasure what little time I have with him. A small smile appeared around my mouth and Tristan slide his hand into my hair and leaned closer. We were so close I could almost physically feel the heat pulsing from his body. Just a little close and our lips would be touching. I closed my eyes and just let it happen. Our lips moved together and his other hand moved up to the other side of my head to entwine itself in my hair. His hands tightened and I wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer. We got more and more passionate and in the end he had pushed me up against a near-by tree. He pulled away but only to carry on planting kisses down my neck. I pushed my head back against the tree and attempted to catch my breath. I closed my eyes again and this time slumped against the tree. He relaxed too and finally leaned in to place one more kiss on my forehead. I leaned into him and he held me close for what seemed like a long time. I opened my eyes. This isn’t about what I want. This is about what I need. I need love and protection and a best friend and Tristan was all of those things and more. He stroked my hair while I collected myself.
‘I know what you are, Harley.’ He said softly, just as though it was something totally normal. I was totally stunned, does he really know?
‘How…Who-‘
‘Research, The Quilettes. It all fits together.’
‘Wait… you know I’m…’
‘Vampire, Yes.’
‘And you don’t want to run away?’ Surely he would be by now.
‘No. Is it normal to run away from the girl I fell in love with?’ He questioned. He’d fallen in love with me. He loves me.
‘Wait… did you just…’ This wasn’t going well; I can’t seem to finish a sentence.
‘I love you Harley. I’ll always love you. I never thought a girl could hold so much for me. You give me this hope and happiness, you make me see the world for what it is and how stunningly beautiful it is’ He nodded towards the sunset that was now I stunning shade of orange and coral pink ‘you make me see that swimming isn’t the only future for me, I could have a future with you.’
‘No Tristan. I… I can’t take that away from you. Swimming is your life. You told me yourself.’
‘But what if you are all I need. Swimming is just a hobby. You can be my life. Together.’ He looked so ambitious and hopeful. How can I tell him no?
‘I can’t take any of that away from you Tristan. I can’t… kill your future. Don’t you realise, I am vampire. My mortality is dead and gone, and I‘m not dooming you to that same existence. However much I want you with me, forever, I can’t ruin you. You can have children and a job and a beautiful wife that you can come home to every night’ if I could cry I would be by now ‘who can age just as much as you age. She can love you without wanting to kill you. You are so delicate to me Tristan. I could crush your bones, bruise your body, hurt you without realising it.’ He came back straight away without any hesitation.
‘And I am willing to give that up for you. Don’t you see Harley? I don’t need that because all I want is you. These past 4 days and I can’t see anyone except you Harley. I’m in love with the girl I’ve known since I met you, Vampire or no vampire. I love you and that’s final’
‘I love you so very much Tristan, I can’t picture my future without you.’
‘Then don’t.’ He answered with a softness I’d never heard before. He could tell he was getting through to me.
‘Tell me it will all workout Tristan, Me and You. Tell me everything will be ok.’ I pleaded. I want him so bad, I can’t give up without a fight.
‘I’ll be with you forever. I will never leave you Harley.’ He said, full of sincerity.
‘Promise?’ I answered with a shy smile.
‘Promise.’ He smiled back.
‘What about your-‘ I started but he silenced me with a very soft kiss.
‘Shhh…’ He placed a warm finger on my lips and I smiled, everything would be ok. He promised. He numbed all my thoughts with another kiss. I opened my eyes to meet his, also, open eyes and from then on I was lost in a mist of love.
Also i have my own spot if you dont already know :D
