Kiss at Twilight

Chapter Twenty - Sierra

Edward splits off from Jacob and I as we make it to home room. I look back watching him walk away. How am I already so attached that even ONE of them being away from me makes my heart ache painfully.

Jacob stops me right before we walk into home room, turning me towards him. Placing his finger under my chin, tilting my head back.

“Are you okay Bi?”

“Yes, I just hate that we have to hide apart of us. Apart of me. And I don’t like when one of you is away from me. It feels like a piece is missing.”

“Don’t be sad little one.” Jacob says softly, stroking my cheek bone with his thumb. “We’ll all be together again soon. Edward will meet us between every class. Then we’ll be together after school. Okay?”

I smile up at him, nodding my head. “Okay.”

Then we head into home room.

Just like Jacob said, Edward meets us and walks with us to all my classes. Even the ones they aren’t in. Like my art class.

Then English class with just Jacob.

Then we all have Trig together and I finally feel myself relax. If my heart ached with one of them gone, art class by myself was damn near painful.

Edward and Jacob told me that it’s apart of the Mate bond. That we all feel it. Now that I’ve accepted them as my Mates.

I think I did it subconsciously before they even told me I was their Mate. From the moment I saw Jacob at my front door, and Edward on the that first day in Trig. I was always meant to be theirs. To belong to them.

I still don’t understand why my mother told me to stay away from Edward. I know I should call her again, but I know it will be hard for me to hide this from her. I’ve never kept anything from her.

After Trig it’s off to Chem. Finally getting to be close to Edward for the first time since this morning in my bedroom. I know I shouldn’t but I find myself scooting closer and brushing my leg against his as often as possible. Grazing his hand on purpose while reaching for chemicals.

“Little one, you’re being very naughty.” Edward says in a low voice.

I smile to myself. Then look up, faking innocence. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I say in response.

“Mhm. I’m not so sure I believe you.” He smiles at me. His eyes flick around the room. Then he reaches out and rubs his thumb over my bottom lip. My breath stalls in my chest and I feel my eyes close.

Just as quickly his hand is gone and my eyes snap open.

“I’m sorry little one, but we have to be careful.”

“Okay.” I say with a small pout. Going back to the work in front of us.

*

Once class is over we all head out to Edward’s car. I’m skipping ahead of both Edward and Jacob. Excited the day is finally over. I get to be with both my Mates with no fear of judgement.

I think Edward is happy about it too because on the way to my house I can see him go over the speed limit a few times.

Once we make it to my house, the car is thrown in park and before I can blink Edward has me out of the car and in his arms.

I wrap my legs around his waist without a second thought and nuzzle into his neck, breathing in his scent.

He pulls my head back and looks into my eyes. “I missed you today, that was pure torture.”

Then I feel Jacob at my back. Sandwiched between my Mates. I nestle into them. Completely content. Then I hear a car pulling into the drive way.

Dammit Sierra is already here.

I’m on my feet in an instant. Edward having set me down. I breath a sigh of annoyance. Hoping whatever Sierra wants to talk about won’t take long.
