"I promise, Embry Alexander Call, that I'll be back in three months. I'm not going to stay in Tennessee. I'm only going because of court orders," I told him.
"You better. If not, I'll be the most depressed person on this Reservation," he said laughing.
"Oh, no I think Jake has you beat there because of the Bella chick. Gosh knows she's clumsier than I am," I said laughing. He looked down at me, not being that much taller than I am; he didn't have to do it too much. I looked up into his big chocolate brown eyes, as he looked into my dark brown eyes that are so dark, they could pass as black.
"You're so beautiful, Lani," he said. I don't know why he thinks that. I'm kind of tall, medium length brown hair, with natural honey and red highlights, brown eyes, and pale. I didn't fit into this reservation at all. "And don't you dare say 'I don't know what you're talking about,' because you are," he said smiling.
"I don't want to leave this summer. I just want to stay here. Everything has been perfect this year. You led the football team to victory this year, and I led the Forks gymnastics team to victory. We finally decided that us being friends isn't enough," I was going to go on, but he interrupted me.
"What are we now, Lani? Are we dating, or are we just, I don't know, friends with benefits?"
"We haven't even had sex yet, Embry. So I would hardly call us friends with benefits. Even though everyone at school thinks we have. But I guess we're dating. I don't know, someone hasn't asked me officially," I said smiling sitting down on the blanket we set out on the beach. He laid down beside me and pulled me on top of him.
"Lani, will you be my girlfriend? Please? Or I'll be even more depressed than Jacob Black? And Quill if he never gets a girlfriend." I acted like I was thinking about it for a minute before I answered him.
"Of course, Embry, I'll be your girlfriend," I said before he kissed me, which led to a make-out session. We fell asleep on the blanket that night. We walked to my house the next morning to get my luggage and go to the airport in Seattle. Jake and Embry were the only two taking me this time. I hugged Jake and kissed Embry quickly. Jake was the only one that knew about us. And we decided to keep it that way until I got back.
"I'll be back in September, I promise. I'll see you the first day of school," I kissed him again and went on my way to the plane. I looked back one last time and blew him a kiss and went on my way.
