New Beginning

Chapter 4

I took in a fake breath after speaking. "But I also dont want to have to know that I cant be with you because you are married. I'm sorry, Seth. I love you too much." He looked at me and frowned but nodded. "Fine. But can we ne like we use to atleast? Before Rebekah. Please, Bree." Glancing to the ground I hesitated but nodded. "Very well. I will do my best." He nodded while he smiled wide and hugged me tight. "I missed you Bree." I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around him before resting my head on his shoulder. "I missed you too, Seth."

Resting there in his embrace I smiled then pulled back a moment and looked up at him. "Shall we go see the Family? Im sure they are excited to see you. Its bee so long." He nodded and wrapped his arm around my waist and I with my arm around his and then we walked toward the house like this enjoying the peacefulness of our moment together. We were walking at a normal human pace so we could be together like we use to a little longer.

As soon as we reached the house Diego and Fred rushed out to meet us as the girls followerd slowly. Despite his smell we all had welcomed him as apart of the family. Ruth hadnt smelled him much so she wasnt yet use to him like the others. Of course with me having spent so much time around him I didnt scent it anymore. I cared about him no matter what. I loved him no matter what. With that we all spent the next several hours talking and reminiscing about different things that had happened over the years. We were a family and Seth was apart of it.

Hours continued to pass but finally the others went on to be together but me and Seth continued talking. We already had his papers drawn up for enrollment and he would go with Steve and Shelley in the morning and they would get him enrolled for school. "So...what grade are you in currently?" I laughd and looked up at him. "I...I am a sophomore." He stared at me shocked. "Seriously? What did you do? Start out as a freshmen?"

I nodded and he frowned and touched my had. "Im so sorry." I chuckled and shrugged.  "I'm young looking. I can start out younger then the others. They have to push it but theyre usually out a year or two before I graduate. But I push the limits of my age. You'd be surprised to learn how many times I've gone to college claiming to be a child genius."

I giggled lightly as I sat there talking with Seth. But I could tell he was getting tired. "You have had a long day. Perhaps you should rest. You may use my room. I do not mind. Esme is suppose to come help us redecorate our guest rooms. But she has been on vacation. But you may use my room. It's not like I need it."I told him giving an impish expression and he nodded. He stood and held out his hand to me. I stared up at him confused. "Show me where it is? I havent been in this home before." I smirked and took his hand and led him up to my room.

"Thus house is simply gorgeous, Bree. You all have done such a great job." I smiled as we walked up the stairs to the top floor that had been added specifically with me in mind. Since I was alone they believed I deserved a floor entirely to myself. It held my own personal library and my office to the company we owned as well as my room. Using the personal key card I swiped it and opened the door that led to me floor. They all decided to add this to respect my privacy. "High tech. Nice." I closed my eyes and chuckled. "Thanks. It's to keep out the rift raft like you. Although since I'm letting you in I suppose it's not very protective."

He chuckled and followed me through the door and down the hall to where my bedroom door was closed. Opening it I held it so he could come in which he did quickly. "Welcome to Casa be la Bree." I smirked as he looked around "It's just like you. Despite the fact you probably have a fully stocked library you still have tons of books in here on nearly every open space. But I wouldnt change it. It describes you perfectly, Bree." I nodded hearing hi, "Thank you." He chuckled and glanced toward the bed. "No thank you for allowing me to occupy your bedroom while I'm here." I shook my head. "It's me pleasure, Seth. You are my best friend. You deserve it. So please relax. I can go find you something to wear if you'd like. I'm sure Ruth of Alice have hidden some extra men's clothes all over the house. I'm sure I can find you something if you'd like."

Seth shook his head as he slipped off his shoes and looked at me. "No. It's fine. I dont mind." With that he quickly removed his shirt and rolled my eyes. "Subtle, Mr. Clearwater. Well sleep well. We will have breakfast ready for you in the morning. Good night." I said as I started heading out the door but as I turned he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him and against his chest. "Seth...please let me go." He smirked at me.

"Please stay until I fall asleep. I love your stories. They're the best. Much more adventure then I could have ever imagined." I frowned and nodded. "Very well though my stories arent that great. They just stories." He touched my chin and lifted it so I was looking up at him. "They may be just stories but they are stories about your time away from us. I like to know what you did when you left. To know you were safe and sound and happy. It's all I want to know so please. Give this old wolf some piece of mind."

Nodding I smiled lightly up at him, "Very well. What would you like to hear?" He thought for a moment. "I want to hear Greece. I would like to hear you talk of your time in Greece." I smiled and nodded as I then gestured to the bed and he went as I shut the door and followed him over and sat next to him as he laid and began telling him the story of when I was in Greece.
