Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
AN: Every chapter will focus on a different couple. All the summaries will be different, so I will write a different summary for every chapter. Each chapter will be based around a different song. There will be at least one story for each couple, except the main couples in the stories (Jake and Bella, Embry and Hannah, Paul and Rachel, CJ and Cassie, Leah and Ryan, Sarah and Ben, and possibly Edward and Christina), and they will not go in order.
Claire Young could tell you exactly when she knew that she was in love. It was her junior year of high school and Quil had come into the class to talk about the legend of the Quileute tribe. He had brought his uncle Embry with him and together they told of how their tribe came to be.
Claire's eyes met Quil's while Embry talked. She had heard this story twice before and knew it by heart. She rolled her eyes playfully at him making him smile. They had been close since she was a toddler. He was the person she told all of her secrets to.
Fast forward four years and her feelings for him had grown by leaps and bounds. She knew he felt the same way. He had explained that she was his imprint when she was fifteen. At the time she didn't see him as anything other than a friend. He had told her that he would wait until she was ready.
At twenty one, she felt that she was ready. She had dated other guys, none of them made her feel the way that Quil did. She had kept her mind open to the possibility that there was more to life than marrying young and spending the rest of her life being blissfully happy. There wasn't.
She entered the house without knocking. She had been doing it for years. She heard movement in the living room so she made her way in. Quil looked up from the book he was reading with a smile. She returned his smile as she crossed the room and took the book from him before sitting on the edge of the couch. He looked up at her curiously as she placed her hands on his face. His eyes widened when she leaned down.
He leaned up to meet her silently. She lay on top of him putting all of her weight on him. His lips met hers in a bruising kiss. Her breath hitched as she felt his hands push up her shirt. His hands slid across her back, enveloping her in heat. Her hands were in his hair as their tongues glided over each other.
She felt electricity surging through her and saw a fireworks display in front of her closed eyes. He resituated himself on the couch and she fell between his legs. He pulled her closer, his hands rising farther up her back.
"Wait," she said breathlessly once she pulled away from him.
"I shouldn't have done that."
"I didn't say that I didn't like it, but I want to take it slow. In case you hadn't noticed that was my way of telling you that I want to be with you, only you."
"I thought that you were just saying hi," he said sounding hurt.
"That too," she said with a smile.
He sat up, leaning against the arm of the couch. She sat in his lap, stretching her legs out over his. She couldn't believe how easy it had been. She knew that he wouldn't fight her on the decision because he had wanted this since she was three. She couldn't believe how patient he had been.
Quil was the one that she went to after every breakup, and there had been a lot of them. He had let her vent when her first boyfriend cheated on her. He had been the one to call the guy out in front of the other girl after a football game. He was her shoulder to cry on after a guy who was important to her slept with her then told her that he was moving in two weeks.
Through all of it he hadn't put one move on her. His strong will never ceased amaze her. He had kept it in, that was going to stop now.
AN2: Sorry this is so short. But just to warn you, some will be shorter than others. As usual, let me know what you think.
