We kissed.

It wasn't anything sloppy, simple but a passionate peck. I barely even felt his lip piercing but his lips were divine. Soft and plump.

Only once but it was better than nothing.

And even that once was spectacular.

Nothing could compare. If I died right now I think I'd be pretty content with myself.

I kissed Payne Vincent.

PAYNE VINCENT !!

He was standing right in front of me. When we had broken apart he seemed to not be able to look me in my eyes.

It hurt. Just a little but honestly what did I expect to happen after?

He had said I was his before. Mine was his exact words. Now, as the reality of what just happened hits him he seems to more or less regret it. He didn't say he did but I could see it written all over his face. Body language was one hell of a thing.

Deciding to give him some space before he exploded on me I swayed to the side in the water and chose to not waste this moment.

Apparently today was a day for firsts. First time in a lake and first kiss.

Well my first kiss. He's probably been with numerous girls. Knowing Payne, he'd prefer to have sex then kill them so he wouldn't have to look at them again.

That shouldn't have made me smile because its possible he could still kill me, especially after that.

Lifting my head toward the sky and letting the sun hit my face I let out a deep sigh.

Why couldn't this be the perfect relationship? Why couldn't I have a good mate?

But even if I had a choice, even if the goddess above came down and gave me the choice herself I know what my choice would be.

Despite everything, I'd still chose him. I'd chose to go through all this over and over if I had to as long as in the end, he'd be completely and forever mine.

I felt a hot tear drizzle down my face but letting my entire body sink down under the water, the water washed it away.

If only the water could have washed away the hurt I felt inside.

******

Getting out of the lake in silence I hoped the water would hide my tears.

I was completely falling apart uncontrollably.

He hadn't said a word to me. He hadn't even moved around much in the water after. He swam to the deep end where I obviously couldn't go and he stayed there lost in thought.

I heard his footsteps behind me and I wished for the courage to say something. Anything, but there was a lump in my throat and it seemed to keep getting bigger until it stiffles me.

Bending and picking up my clothes from the floor I began to throw them on over my wet underwear. I didn't feel afraid to be in front of Payne with my scars anymore because even though he thinks the tattoos cover him up, I can see straight through them to the hidden marks below. I saw them all.
