CH: The Man of my Dreams

The silver SUV drove down the road to the Clearwater home, with Leah behind the wheel. She couldn't wait to get home, for summer vacation. Being away at school could really make you miss home and even your little brother. In Leah's case that little brothers name was Seth and like her, he was a shape-shifter. Like her he still had not imprinted yet, so she was slightly scared about bringing her friend, Shanelle Browning, home with her. Shanelle had truly become one of Leah's best friends, they were both twenty and away from home; though Shanelle was further away from home than Leah. Shanelle's family lives in New York but she was going to school in Washington and majoring in history, just like Leah. They were both slightly on the mean side, but were truly nice girls at heart.

Shanelle being imprinted on was very likely because she was one-fourth Quileute and three-fourths African American. She was around the height of 5'10", had long wavy black hair, and owned slightly almond shaped eyes that had the dark brown tone so many Quileute women had. Many told her she looked like the singer Ciara, with a light, but still with a dark tint to her skin tone; she had a full hour-glass figure any guy would love to see. But yet, she still hadn't found the right guy for her. In the back of her head, she thought that maybe she would meet a nice guy here in La Push; but who knows what's in store for the summer here. Only time will tell.

The SUV came to a stop in front of a nice looking, two-story home, with a lot of cars parked out front. It was clear they were having a "welcome-home" party for Leah, and Shanelle just happened to be the surprise for everyone but Leah's mom and brother.

"Well, we're here," Leah said as she parked her car. "Don't be scared by the massive height of the boys, they're all truly sweet guys," she paused for a second "well they can be."

"Oh joy. A house full of boys, just what I wished for," Shanelle said as she opened her door. Her head snapped up as she heard the front door open; four guys walk out to greet them. They were truly fine, if Shanelle's eyes saw right. She slowly pulled her sunglasses off her face and slipped them in her purse. She could get used to this view; it was like heaven on earth. Shanelle turned toward Leah, her dark brown eyes huge with delight. She walked over to the other side of the truck where Leah was getting out.

"Leah," she said with her voice as low as possible, "do all the men in La Push look like that?"

Leah had a small smile playing on her lips because she knew the boys could here every word Shanelle was saying about them. "Yes," was Leah simple answer to her friend's question. "Come on lets go meet them." She pulled Shanelle behind her over to the boys. They all said their "hellos" to Leah, and now it was time for them to met Shanelle. "Boys this is my best friend Shanelle," as Leah said this all four boys quickly eyed Shanelle up and down, but none of them imprinted. "Shanelle," she started, "this is my little brother, Seth, Colin, Brady, and my boyfriend Jacob". Shanelle eyed all four boys quickly saw how much Seth looked like Leah. Colin and Brady looked like twin brothers with their close cut black hair, tan skin, and brown eyes, and Jacob, he was clearly the best looking out of all four, but he was Leah's man, so Shanelle would have to find another guy just as good looking.

"So Shanelle," Brady said putting his arm around her, "got a boyfriend?"

"Nope, I haven't found a man that can handle all this," she said with small smile as she thought of the time her and Leah used that line at a party, when two football players were hitting on them. She always had a way to turn men down when needed. She looked closer at Brady and saw that he going though teen years—puberty. "And besides, honey, you are not a man," she said slipping out from under his arms.

"Someone is feisty!" Brady said looking her up and down once again. He eyed her carefully and knew that if no one imprinted she would be all his, even if he was just a boy in her eyes.

As Shanelle was dragged into the house by Leah to go find her mom, she looked at all the people. Most of the men were above 6'2", with Seth being the shortest among them all. There was a lot of eye-candy, but many of them were taken, just like Leah's Jacob. Shanelle would just have to keep looking.

When they had reached Leah's mom, Shanelle said, "Hi" and went back to meet all those people she rush passed with Leah. She noticed one guy who hadn't been there early. He was tall, around 6'4", an ideally good height for Shanelle, he was clearly a friend of the gym, and the way he was dressed in black paints and a button up blue shirt, told her he had something going for him. Since she hadn't met him yet, she would go up and introduce herself.

"Hi, I'm Shanelle, Leah's friend, and you would be?" she asked looking him in the eyes; she was getting lost in his gold-flecked, brown eyes. She could get lost in those puppy dog eyes forever.

"I'm Embry, Embry Call," he said shaking her hand.

"Very James Bond of you, Call," she said with a smile and a slight giggle. Embry was charming and very much boyfriend material, and from what she could tell, he was definitely her type. When no one responded she looked up to find Embry was no longer there. She looked in all directions but couldn't find him. Great all she knew about him was that his name was Embry Call, and he could most possibly be the man of her dreams. She knew she would have to find him again, and since he was a friend of Leah's that wouldn't be too hard to do. Now all she had to do was survive the rest of this party and stay away from Brady, and everything would be fine.

Shanelle turned sharply on her heel and walked over to the girl she was introduced to, and if she remembered correctly her name was Kim. Kim had a sweet round shaped face and had with soft brown eyes that seemed warm and inviting. She seemed like a nice person to talk to pass the time. As she walked to the other side of the room, she could feel the eyes of the entire room full of men on her, as if they were seeing if she was right or would fit in with them. She felt uncomfortable with all their attention on her. She was used to having people look at her, but just not that close. Before she was able to get to Kim, Seth stepped in front of her.

"Hey Shanelle, how do like every one so far?" Seth asked her.

"Well everybody seems nice, well everyone but Paul, he almost yelled at me when I asked if he wanted a cookie. And well, I didn't get to talk to Embry that much," she said. She looked at Seth and his face seemed like it was hiding something.

"Well Paul has some problems, and his girlfriend went off to school, so just stay away from him; and Embry probably had something he had to do." He seemed to be hiding something from her, but what could it be he was hiding? Before she could ask him anything, he was gone. What is up the men here and disappearing?
