First "Chapter" of To Be Loved!!!

Well, here's the first post of my story. I'm not sure how frequent I'll post each chapter (Once a week, maybe?), but here's the first! Not many people will actually read this, since I don't have any followers, but who gives a hoot? So here it is, To Be Loved: Chapter 1.

Skye's P.O.V.

“Come on, Adam! I swear, sometimes you take longer than me to get ready!”
He came out of the bathroom, only wearing his black jeans, laughing while he dried his hair with a towel.
“Sorry, babe. You know how clean and fresh I like to be.”
“Very. All of that damn Axe you always put on gives me a headache.”
He grinned at me, then kissed me on the cheek. Then on the lips.
He was so perfect. Messy brown hair that made any famous hottie look average, violet eyes, peachy skin, and a voice of an angel. I was crazy for him.
We were getting ready to go to dinner at some place that was pretty far. Adam’s idea of celebration. He said the crowd had gone crazy for them at The House of Blues last night.
His band was called Ana Save Me. I was relieved when he told me Ana just stood for his band members' names. Him, Adam, the guitar player, Noah, the drummer, and Ariana, the bass player.
We had just been two wandering souls when we met. He’d been performing, when he spotted me in the crowd. Every song he sung from then on felt like he was singing it for me and only me.
“I’m Adam,” he’d told me once he was finished performing.
“I’m Elena. Some people call me Elena, some just by my last name, Skye.”
“I think I like Skye better. Because your eyes are just as blue.”
Those are words I’ll never forget him saying. I’ll never forget the way he looked at me, never forget the way I blushed when he sang to me, for me.
We were inseparable after that fateful day.
I was glad the wedding was only a few weeks away. We were having it right here in San Diego. Summertime was the perfect time.
“Is my brother ready yet?” he asked me.
“He’s already in the car, waiting for us.”
He nodded as he pulled a white T-shirt over his head and put on his black suit jacket, leaving it unbuttoned. “Well, let’s go.” He began to walk out the door, but then stopped and turned around when I didn’t follow.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“You haven’t said anything.”
“Anything about what?”
I scoffed and threw my arms up to my sides, referring to my new yellow summer dress and red Converse. “Hello? I told you you‘re supposed to work as my mirror, remember?”
He threw his head back, laughing. He looked back at me sincerely. “You should know that you don’t need a mirror, Angel. You always look beautiful.”
I smiled and bit my lip.
He held out his hand. “Now, are you coming?”
I took his hand and we made our way downstairs and out the door.
He opened the car door for me, and I stepped in. Aaron, his brother, was in the back.
Adam and Aaron were raised by their mother. Adam had told me that his father had walked out on them when they were five.
My mother died giving birth to me, so my father had raised me on his own. Luckily, not me nor Adam had a big family, so we wouldn’t have to worry so much about how many people would come to the wedding. We were trying to make it as simple as possible. That’s one thing Adam and me had in common. We didn’t like to make a big deal out of things. No drama.
Out of the corner of my eye, I observed Aaron. He was looking out the window. He looked a lot like Adam. They were actually fraternal twins. They didn’t look exactly alike, but it was pretty close. They had the same color hair, same color skin, same dimples. The only thing that wasn’t the same was their eyes. Adam had violet eyes, and Aaron just had brown eyes. Also, they wore their hair differently. Adam had his hair messy, and Aaron wore his hair short in a faux hawk. And of course, they were two completely different beings when it came to their personality. Adam was a fun guy, a real music lover. Aaron read a lot of books. I always found him either reading, or listening to his iPod. Right now, it was iPod.
After a few minutes, Adam started up the car and put on his seat belt.
We drove off, and I fell asleep.

I dreamt about the day that Adam proposed to me three months ago.
I was waiting for him at the same place where we‘d met. He’d called me and told me that he had something important to tell me. I had no idea if it was a good or bad thing that he wanted to say to me.
I kept looking at the stage where Adam’s band had performed. I still remembered it clearly. I could almost see it, looking a bit faded, like in the movies. He spotted me in the crowd when they were just starting to sing the second song, Interrupted Love Scene.
I was telling you I drown in your eyes,
I was telling you I’m sick of goodbyes,
I never told you what was in my head,
I never told you what I should have said,
Because then he walked in.
His voice melted my brain, and my heart, all at once.
And that’s when he spotted me. After that, he didn’t take his eyes off me. He smiled, and for the first time, I noticed his dimples. Once again, I melted completely.
“Hard to believe it’s been two years, huh?”
I turned around to see Adam, staring at the stage like me, remembering that once upon a time, we were both nineteen, two rock n’ roll maniacs, hoping that one day we would find someone to live for, though we didn’t even know that we were.
“I didn’t believe in angels until I met you,” he said, smiling.
I rolled my eyes. “Sure.”
“I’m serious. You know I’m not the mushy type. So you know I’m telling the truth when I say that I love you.”
I froze. “You…you do?” I stuttered.
“Yes,” he answered. He hesitated for a moment, then continued.
“That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I wasn’t sure at first. But I’ve never felt this way before. Whenever I’m with you, I feel I can do anything and everything. You make me want to sing every second of the day. Moving here to San Diego from L.A. was the best thing that I’ve ever done. I wouldn’t have met you if I hadn’t. I know I’m not very good with this kind of thing, but…”
He pulled out a little white box. He opened it, and it showed the most beautiful diamond ring, glistening in the low light.
“Adam…” I whispered.
“Elena Skye, will you marry me?”
“Adam…” I repeated.
Now he rolled his eyes. “Just say yes.”
“Yes,” I managed to say, though my voice cracked as tears streamed down my face.
He put the diamond ring on my finger and held me close as his lips met mine.
I was sure that my heart had stopped beating.
“Elli? El, wake up. We‘re here.”
I rubbed my eyes and looked at Adam and saw that he was looking at me, smiling. It was a smile bigger than usual. It was a smirk, no doubt.
“Why are you so happy?”
“What were you dreaming of that you said my name?”
“Oh,” I said. I felt myself blushing. “I dreamt about the day you proposed.”
Adam smiled and then laid his soft lips on mine. I could hear Aaron clear his throat. I didn’t realize he was still in the car. I pulled away from Adam and he chuckled. “Sorry.”
The restaurant was pretty fancy and all, but eating down at San Hun Hut, the place where Adam’s brother worked as a waiter, would have been just fine. I liked their smoothies.
We saw Ariana and Noah saving a table close by the entrance, and they called us over.
“Hey, Ari,” Adam greeted. “’Sup, Noah?”
“Hi,” they said together.
We each pulled out a seat and sat down. Noah flung a menu at Adam, and Adam reflexively caught it in time.
“Check out the menu,” Noah told him, smirking.
I smacked him on the head with my own menu. “God, sometimes I don’t know why you even like this jackass, Ariana.”
She shrugged.
“’Cause I’m the only guy that’s not afraid to date her.”
Now she smacked him, a slap in the face with the menu.
“Ow,” he wined, rubbing his cheek “Dude, help me out here, I’m getting menu-smacked by chicks.”
“Eh, I don’t wanna get involved,” Adam told him, looking up and down his menu, a bit of a smirk.
“Smart,” I told him.
We all laughed.
All but one. Aaron, as usual.
What was with him? Did he hate me or something? He’s never said a word to me. Literally. I wasn’t going to be able to live in peace until I found out what the deal was with this guy.

Once we were home, I waited until Adam was asleep. Then I left the house and walked to Aaron’s apartment, which was about a block away.
I knocked on his door softly. He opened it a crack, and when he saw it was me, opened the door completely. He looked surprised. “Elena?”
“Could I talk to you about something?”
“Sure.” He stepped out and closed the door behind him. “What’s up?”
I hesitated. Then I spoke. “Do you have something against me? I don’t even think you’ve said a single word to me ever since Adam introduced me to you. I‘m sorry if I ever did anything to offend you, but at least let me know what I did.”
He looked down at the ground, then sighed. “I wish I could. But it’s too complicated. You probably wouldn’t understand.”
I crossed my arms. “Try me.”
He hesitated.
“C’mon, Aaron. Please.”
He sighed again. He was still looking down.
“She likes this guy I know,” he began slowly. “I want to be with her, but-”
“But?”
“Thing is…the guy’s my brother.”

To Be Continued...And please exuse the indents that should be applied. I would appreciate opinions from any reviewers that might read this. (Wink, wink to a certain reviewer.)

Awesome Movies!

I have a lot of favorites, so I can't name all of them, but right off the bat, there's Titanic, (Of course!) Forest Gump, (So beautiful!) Iron Man 2, (Totally badass!) Alice In Wonderland, (Eee!) The Dark Knight, (Christian Bale. 'Nough said.) Lovely Bones, (So sad!) and Toy Story 3 (Uh, duh!)

I'm trying to remember some of my favorite Disney movies. (Probably all of them!) But I really like Beauty and The Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Bambi, Nemo, Alladin, Tarzan, and The Lion King Movies. Is Wall-E Disney?

I've never seen Pinocchio, Fox And The Hound, Peter Pan, and Dumbo, (I don't remember them, at least. I probably saw them when I was real little.) I really wanna see Charlie St. Cloud, and I haven't seen Daybreakers yet, or The Lightening Thief. (My brother lent us a bootleg, but it was so dark, that I didn't even bother watching the rest of it.)

What's some of your favorite movies? Leave me a comment telling me about it. =)

Favorite Animes

If your an anime freak like me, then here's some of my favorite:

Inuyasha - It's so funny sometimes and it's so awesome! I never saw every single episode, but I'm watching it from the beginning now! It's about a half-demon who is looking to become full demon, but then Kagome comes into the picture. Now they are on a journey to collect all of the shards of the jewel that can make Inuyasha full demon.

You HAVE to watch it. It's like the DEFINITION of all anime.

Ouran High School Host Club - This anime is a romantic comedy anime. Haruhi must pretend to be a boy. (It's a debt thing.) So she joins the Ouran High School Host Club, a group of boys whose duty is to charm the girls, and they get paid to do so. (Yeah, I know, sounds like a male prostitute!) All of the guys adore her. She falls in love with Tamaki, though she doesn't realize it, and it goes back and forth. When Tamaki wants her to love him, she doesn't, and when he doesn't even have a clue, she secretly does.

The episode are pretty much just always random trouble that the club runs into. But characters you despise usually come back later. The final episodes are so intense, and it's so romantic.

Save Me! Lollipop - This is about a girl named Nina and about how two boys from another world come into her life after she swallows a valuable jewel that is part of a race/test. Now these two boys must protect Nina from all of the scoundrels that will do anything to get the jewel from her.

I can't remember both of the guy's names, I just remember Zero, since I've already finished watching this anime. It's so funny! And very heartwarming.

Nana - Two girls named Nana (They are completely different! One's all bubbly, and the others all quiet and cool.) meet each other, and they end up living together. It starts off as a normal friendship, but becomes almost possesive when their lives take a wrong turn. The cool Nana isn't sure if she wants to start a family with her boyfriend, Ren, and the bubbly Nana becomes pregnant with a member of Ren's band, when the man she really loves, and the man that loves her, is in Nana's band.

I stopped watching it because I was watching it online and they stopped showing it in English. It's only in Japanese wth English subtitles now, and I'll keep my reading to my books! I'm waiting for them to come out on OnDemand (I stopped at like episode 35, and the things only on like 19!)

Death Note - This intense anime is about a boy named Light,(He's very bright, so his name fits him perfectly. lol) who comes across a strange notebook. On the cover it reads: DEATH NOTE. He opens the notebook and shows instructions on how to use it: WHOEVER'S NAME IS WRITTEN IN THIS NOTEBOOK WILL DIE. Light desides to use this as a way to get rid of all of the criminals in the world, to make this world a "better place." Everyone starts to notice all of the criminals dying of hear attacks, and Light is now known as Kira, which means killer in Japanese. But when things get out of hand, the Police team up with the greatest detective in all of Japan. He is known as L. He has solved every case he has ever been involved with. Can he crack the case and discover that Kira is actually the Chief's own son?

This is such an intense anime, and it gets you SO mad when everything turns out the way Light wants, especially when he finally kills L. (Another oops.) But don't worry, N steps in and gives KIRA what he deserves. (Mwahahaha.)

There's also Devil May Cry, but that's too complicated and awesome to explain in words. Just go watch it yourself. (You'll love Dante.)

If you'd like to recommend any animes that you think I'd like, please leave a comment giving me the name of it.

First And Foremost...

I'm gonna be posting about my interests, so you can know more about me. Now of course, first and foremost, I'll talk about my favorite books. I've read a lot of books. Have a whole pile. I've read The Sisterhood Series and The Twilight Saga, but the following are my three top favorite books of all time, a short summary of what they're about, and why I loved them.

Kissed By An Angel by Elizabeth Chandler - This book was about a girl named Ivy who falls in love with Tristan, a boy on the swim team at her school, and then one fateful night (or not so fateful) Tristan dies, though he stays on Earth and watches over Ivy. The truth begins to unravel, and Ivy realizes that the night of the accident wasn't an accident at all. Somebody is trying to kill her.

What I loved about this book is that it was such a beautiful story about family and a love that lasts forever, though it's so sad because they realize that they have to move on. (Long-distance relationships never really work, but one's-dead-and-the-other-one's-still-alive relationships are impossible.) I highly recommend this book. It was on the bridge of making me cry.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick - This story was about a love that shouldn't be, but was. Nora meets Patch, and she is sure of one thing: there is something very dark and mysterious about him. She doesn't know whether to trust him and stay close, or to run and hide. Within a few days, she discovers that Patch is a fallen angel. He wanted a human body, and to do so, he had to kill her. But Patch couldn't possibly, because he fell for her HARD. In the end, Nora must decide between life and death, and Patch must decide between Nora's death and a human body, something that he's wanted forever. But is a human body worth letting the woman he now loves die?

This book was so intense, and SO good. I finished it in one day, less than 24 hours. (I bragged about it to everyone.) I loved the ending. It made me cry a little bit. Patch is so freaking awesome! From fallen angel, to guardian angel. (Oops. Hope that doesn't spoil it for you if you decide to read it.)
I'm waiting for Crescendo, the sequel. I'm so physced! October 19 is marked on MY calender!

Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood - This was a beautiful story about a boy named Charlie St. Cloud, who lost his brother Sam in an accident that he doesn't stop blaming himself for. For thirteen years, he's worked in a cemetery, and for thirteen years, every single day at sunset, he joins his ghost brother with a game of catch. But one fateful day, Charlie finds Tess Carroll, a girl hoping to win a race for a sail across the world. But they both discover that Tess isn't on the same earth as Charlie; She's on Sam's. Charlie and Tess don't have much that much time left together. She is fading. Now Charlie must choose between his same old life of holding on to Sam, or the new life he can start with Tess. IF he can save her...if he doesn't, there is nothing to go back to. He will have nothing left.

Now this book was one that made me crack, more than Hush, Hush. It was so heartbreaking, and yet so heartwarming. Charlie St. Cloud is the perfect book about letting go and starting over. You HAVE to read this book! If you do, I can tell you exactly what will make you sob, so keep this in mind when you read it: "I'm a man now, and I can do what I want."
Can't wait to see the movie, though I hope they didn't change it too much.

These books are my favorite. What are YOURS?

To Be Loved (Another Little Taste)

I couldn't help but giving you another little taste. It was one of my favorite parts to work on.
Aaron's P.O.V.

I heard them. Every single sound. It wouldn’t stop echoing in my head. I felt that annoying feeling in the back of my throat, tight and resisting to give in to the tears that were surely coming.
There was a soft breeze. It was soothing; it calmed me, though not enough.

I’ve been here for hours.
My eyes are heavy, but my heart is restless. I’m too tired to even sleep. I know that I’ll be here all night, and I know that I’d be alone the whole time.

Skye’s P.O.V.

I was happy to wake up to the same scent as yesterday, minty and musky. I smiled as I laid my head on Adam’s hard chest.
“I love the sound of your heartbeat,” I told him quietly.
I could hear it very clearly. It was strong.
Boom, boom. Boom, boom.
“Why?” he asked, chuckling.
“Because when I listen to it, I know you‘ll live a long life, so it makes me happy to know that I‘ll have you with me forever.”
He smiled and held me closer to him.
“Promise me something, Adam?”
“What is it?”
I hesitated. “Promise me that you’ll always remember that I love you. Always. Even if you someday lose your memory. Keep it in the back of your head. Remember it like you remember how to breathe.”
His face was blank for a moment, and then he closed his eyes. He opened them again and looked at me. He grabbed my hand resting on his chest and pulled it closer to his heart.
“I promise.”
I sighed softly and laid my head back on his chest as Adam ran his fingers through my hair. He kissed my forehead.
This is how I always wanted it to be for us, the next long days of our lives together. I wanted to be with him like this, always right there, listening to his heart thump as it tells me he will be with me for the rest of my life.
I instinctively looked at the time on the digital clock next to us. Eight thirty-seven A.M. I felt like I was forgetting something, and I remembered.
“Aaron’s supposed to pick me up,” I mumbled to Adam. “He should have been here by now. Did he call?”
“No,” he muttered back. “I left my cell phone on all night. Didn‘t have time to turn it on.”
He smirked.
“He would have called if he couldn’t come…”
Something wasn’t right. It wasn’t like Aaron. I know he kept his word, and he would have called if he couldn’t.
I got on my feet and stretched. I picked up my phone from the desk and dialed Aaron’s number. It rang twice. That’s when I heard it. I stood right outside our door and saw Aaron’s phone vibrating loudly. My heart ached as I considered the possibility that was forming in my head.
“Oh, God,” I groaned.
“What’s wrong?” Aaron asked, instantly by my side, caressingly kissing my shoulder.
“Adam. He left his phone here. He must have come back for it. He heard us!”
I hid my face in my hands, horrified.
“So? He still would have called. He‘s not the kind of guy to get all uncomfortable and freaked out about that.”
“You don’t understand, Adam! Aaron-” I covered my mouth quickly.
“Aaron what?” He said suspiciously, his eyebrows furrowing.
I closed my eyes. Should I tell him? I wondered. I didn’t want to hurt him, but he should know. I didn’t want to keep this from him forever.
“Elena, Aaron what?” He asked again. He rarely ever called me Elena, except when he was serious or worried.
I took a deep breath, and looked down at the floor. “Aaron, he…a few nights ago…he told me he had feelings for me.” I raised my head, though I kept my eyes on his chest. I didn‘t have the courage to look into his eyes.
“He kissed me,” I whispered.
He squared his shoulders. Slowly, I looked up at his face.
His expression was blank.
“And I thought for a while that I had feelings for him,” I said slowly.
Still blank.
“But I don’t,” I said quickly, defensively. “I love you and only you. I know that now.”
The doorbell rang. I kept my eyes on Adam a few seconds longer, then walked downstairs and opened the door.
There stood Aaron. He had circles under his red eyes.
“Aaron…”
“Sorry I’m late,” he mumbled, looking at the floor as he stepped inside.
“Aaron, I-”
Adam was suddenly right there, grabbing Aaron from the collar of his shirt, shaking him a little. He was fast.
“Damn, you, Aaron! How dare you put even one finger on her! Trying to steal my girl, huh?” I saw him pull back his hand, elbow out, and I quickly pushed Adam away, resting my hands on his chest.
“Please, Adam, stop! Please,” I sobbed. I had my eyes shut tight. I felt his body relax and he slowly wrapped one arm around my waist, the other on the small of my back. I could feel him staring at Aaron over my shoulder.
“Don’t you dare come to the wedding.”
My eyes opened wide in horror. I looked at Aaron, and he just stood there, looking at the floor. He probably hated me now, and I couldn’t stand to look at him and remember just how much I’d already hurt him. I couldn’t imagine how he felt.
I dug my face back into Adam’s chest.
I heard the door close.

I was anxious all the next day. When I woke up, Adam was gone. He left a note that said he went over to Noah’s to rehearse. I knew he was staying longer than he needed to.
I tried to keep myself busy by cleaning, but there wasn’t much to clean, so I finished quickly. I went upstairs to the room, took out a book, and waited.
I heard a car pull up around six, then I heard the front door open and close. It was silent for a few second, but then I heard him begin to walk up the stairs, and I stood.
He entered, carrying his guitar case, and closed the door behind him.
“Hi,” I said quietly, forcing a smile, though only one corner of my mouth curved.
“Hey.”
It was silent.
Then he dropped his case and pulled me close to him. I shut my eyes closed to prevent from crying. Didn‘t work.
“I’m sorry,” I sobbed into his shirt. “Please understand. Please forgive me.”
He held me tighter and rest his chin on my head as he smoothed my hair. “I understand. I forgive you.”
I clenched to him more. There was no distance between us, I was as close as possible, and yet it was never enough for me when I held Adam.
I lay down on the bed and Adam laid down next to me. He pulled me close to him and I rested my head on his chest. We stayed like that for a long time, in complete silence, just holding each other.
I wondered if now was a good time to ask…
“Adam?”
“Yeah?”
I opened my mouth to say it, but no sound came out. I closed it, then opened it again. “Please let Aaron come to the wedding. I’d feel bad if he wasn’t there.”
“No,” he answered, gentle but firm.
“Please. I’m just as guilty.”
He looked down at me. “I can’t, Skye.”
“But he’s your brother!”
“I can’t forgive him for what he did.”
“He didn’t mean to! He told me all he wanted was for me to be happy with you.”
He sighed, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “I’m sorry, but the answer is still no.”
I pouted, and I could feel tears in my eyes. “Okay,” I muttered, my voice only above a whisper. “Fine. Sorry I asked.”
He looked down at me again and groaned. “Skye,” he pleaded. “Babe, please don’t-”
I looked away so he wouldn’t see my agonized, pathetic face.
He sighed again. “Fine,” he said through his teeth. “But just promise me something.”
I looked back up at him. “Anything.”
“I want you to remember something too. Remember that I would do anything to make you happy.”
I nodded my head. “I promise.” I put my arms around his neck. “Thank you.”
He pulled me closer, and kissed my forehead.
“You’re still going to sing at the wedding, right?” I asked him, worried that he’d changed his mind.
I could hear a smile in his voice as he spoke.
“Of course I am.”

Aaron’s P.O.V.

I ended up at the beach again.
When things were bad, I threw rocks. When things were really bad, I went swimming.
I sat by the shore when I got tired. The sand was hot, and my body burned even more from the blazing sun, but I didn’t go back into the refreshing water. I stayed there, and hoped that it was possible that I can be burned until I was nothing but ash, hoped that I can be put out of my misery once and for all.
I grabbed a handful of sand, then slowly let it slip through my fingers. I did the same thing over and over, until I picked up a piece of glass with the sand. I observed the glass, and it reminded me of Elena. Everything was reminding me of Elena. When I closed my eyes, I saw Elena. When I opened them, I saw Elena. I couldn’t get her out of my head. But this piece of glass was different. Glass was easy to break. Glass was sharp. It was very delicate, but it could cut you if you held it in a certain way.
Just like Elena. I shattered her, and she’d cut me without trying.
I didn’t realize I’d clenched my hand with the glass in it into a fist until I saw the dripping blood. I opened my hand and dropped the glass. I just continued to watch the blood drip.
Plop. Plop.

Story: To Be Loved (Work In Progress)

I'm working on a story. It's in two people's point of view. (It goes back and forth.)
Here's a little summary, a little taste of what it's about.
Elena Skye is a happy woman. She's getting married to the handsome, guitar-playing Adam Armani, her true love. She loves him and only him. But she begins to doubt that this is true when only weeks before her wedding, Adam's fraternal twin brother, Aaron, confesses his feelings for her. Now she must choose between the man she has loved and promised to love forever, or the man that will love her no matter who she chooses. This won't be easy, this can't be easy, when all both men want is for her to be happy...but with who?

And now a little piece of each P.O.V.:

Aaron's P.O.V.

“You don’t love me.”
“I do.”
“No, you don’t,” I said through my teeth.
“Yes, I do,” she retorted stubbornly.
“You don’t!”
Then she crossed her arms. “Prove it.”
I looked up at the ceiling, letting out a puff of air.
I leaned in as she closed her eyes.
Our lips met. I tasted a piña colada kind of taste this time. Much sweeter than last time.
Her soft lips made me realize that she was just soft in general. Her lips, her eyes, her voice, her skin, her everything. I wrapped my arms around her. She rested her hands on my shoulders, slowly making their way to my back. I could feel her nails digging into my skin just from gripping on tightly.
She was so soft. So warm…
I broke away slowly. “Now, compare that to when you kiss Adam,” I directed her, my voice only a whisper.
“It’s…” she paused. “With Adam, it’s butterflies, but with you…it’s…fireworks.”
I put my face into my hands.
Why was she making this so complicated?
“It doesn’t matter anyway,” she whispered. “You don’t like me anymore.”
The corners of my lips twitched, tempting me to show a wide grin. “You’re wrong.”
Her eyes had a glint of hope in them as she stared up at me.
“But like you said,” I continued. “It doesn’t matter. Look, I just want you to be happy. But I want you to be happy with Adam. Alright?”
She merely nodded.
“I’ll be here at eight to pick you up for the job interview.”
I left the house and went to the beach.
I wished my brother luck. I had kissed those sweet lips for the last time. I’d only tasted strawberry and coconut. He will taste much more. Bubble gum, watermelon, vanilla, coconut, kiwi...

Skye's P.O.V.

I felt tears in my eyes as I realized something.
I really was an idiot. I’d been spending so much time with Aaron, too much time, to try to figure out my feelings for him, that I’d completely forgotten about the love I had for Adam. We’ve never had a day to ourselves, with Adam always busy. You know, some time alone.
“It’s beautiful,” I finally managed, but my voice was only a whisper.
“I wanted to sing it at the wedding,” he muttered.
I looked at him in complete awe. He met my gaze and leaned in slowly. Our lips met.
Adam had always been gentle, giving me soft kisses, but this kiss was passionate.
It made my heart skip a beat.
He made his way down to my neck. His lips caressed my skin. He ran his fingers across my shoulder and down my arm, and his soft touch gave me goose bumps. He twisted his fingers into the spaces between mine. I wrapped my legs around him.
“So warm…” he said as he kissed me, then pulled away. “Wait. Isn’t this supposed to be part of the honeymoon?” He was beginning to smirk.
“I can’t wait that long,” I breathed. He bit his lip, and once again, he pressed his lips to mine.
“Now you wait,” I told him, pulling away. “Weren’t you exhausted just a while ago?”
He laughed. “Your point?” was all he said before he continued kissing me all over.
In my head, I was imagining the butterflies in my stomach fluttering up into the sky, and suddenly exploding into a star of colors, shining brightly and luminously in the blue of the night above my head.
