[AN- I am picking up this story where bittybites left off in Coming of Age in my own little way hope you like(: ]
We walk back to the party both smiling as wide as we can. We walk up to the front porch of my Aunt Em and Uncle Sam's house greeted by the pack. I turn and look at Quil and playfully hits him.
"You already told them though your mind" I say laughing.
Turns back to the pack and playfully pushes my way though to get back to my party with Quil's hands on my waist. I open the door hearing Quil chuckle and the pack laughing at him.
"What did you tell them?" I say when we get inside.
"Nothing Claire-Bear, nothing at all"
Turns around and walks into dining room where I hear my family then hears Quil go out and wrestle with the pack knowing he is listening to make sure I'm okay no matter what. I turn and look at my Uncle Sam knowing he heard everything that happened back in the woods. He stands up and hugs me to tight that he picks me up.
"Congratulations" he whispers in my ear.
"Thank you, but Uncle Sam I can't breathe"
Hears' a soft growl behind me and Sam chuckles then sets me down on my feet and Aunt Em comes up behind him and hugs him looking at me, as Quil walks up behind me wrapping his arms around me loving the feeling of his touch.
"So Aunt Em is there any cake perhaps?" I say smiling wide.
As I say this the whole pack comes running in yelling.
"CAKE? NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS CAKE?" Seth and Jake yell.
Leah walks in behind them shaking her head as they all come to a abrupt stop in front of Quil so they won't run into me. I laugh as I poke my head around Quil hearing Uncle Sam and Aunt Em laughing along with me.
"Yes the cake is in the fridge and Claire gets a piece first since it is her 17th birthday." Aunt Em says
There is just a ripple of awhs though out the whole pack including Quil. I playfully hit Quil as I wiggle out of his arms before he pulls me back into a hug as I laugh.
"Hey mister, if you want cake I would let go" I say though my laughs.
He looks at me then says "But I already got what I want Claire-Bear, I got you." After he says this he kisses my head. Then let's go as he hears my stomach growl along with his.
"Okay maybe a little cake." He says while laughing.
"Psh, a little cake I know you Quil and the rest of the boys of this pack" Aunt Em says.
We all walk to the kitchen where Aunt Em takes out the cake out of the fridge and as she does this I look up to see the Pack (not including Leah) is drooling for some cake. I laugh as I see this then helps Aunt Em light the candles on my cake, she tells me to make a wish…Well my wish is that Quil and I will never be apart. I blow out my candles and grab a knife and cut the cake slowly seeing the look in the guy's eyes of pure hunger .
"Come on lil cousin! I'm hungry!" Seth says.
"Nah I think I might cut a little slower." I say as I chuckle a little.
As soon as I say this Quil comes up behind me and kisses my neck distracting me so the knife goes quickly though the cake. Everyone laughs as this happens I turn around and point my figure at him giving him one warning. I finish cutting the cake grinning because Quil still has his arms wrapped around me. I get my cake then I move out of Quil's arms and he growls a little. I set my food down then walk over to him pushing him against the counter.
"Did you growl at me?"
I just hear everyone laugh as they get there cake and watch me and Quil.
"Now Claire-Bear would I ever do that?" he says chuckling
I point my figure at you "Yes, yes you would now what am I to do?"
I secretly grab a piece of cake and then I shove it I Quils' face.
"Hhmm, that's what I am going to do" I say as I smile and turn away.
I sit down to eat and right as I do I hear Seth, Jake, Leah, Uncle Sam and Aunt Em yelling "Claire incoming" Well I didn't turn around fast enough I got a huge piece of cake in my face. I stand up and wipe my face then I tackle everyone you doesn't have cake on them with Quil.
Quil and I sneak off while everyone else throws cake around. Quil and I go back out into the woods and find a stream to wash our faces. When we are done I sit next to the stream and dip my feet in and quil sits next to me and pulls me into his arms.
"Claire-Bear, your mine nobody else can have you."
"Hey I'm completely fine with that"
"Good, because I don't like sharing my things especially my girl"
I smile as he says this knowing I'm his girl and no-one can take me away.
"Claire, I love you."
I froze when Quil told me this. He has never told me before that he loved me, I mean he just recently told me that he imprinted on me. I mean trust me I'm not complaining one bit. All I can do for the moment and stair into his eyes with his arms wrapped around me.
Places my hand on his hot cheek "oh Quil, I love you too. More than I can even tell you I'm just happy to know you love me back"
I move my hand and puts it on his chest feeling his heart race as we tell each other how much we love each other. I lay my head on his chest listening to his heart beat with his arms tightly around me. I feel very safe and like I belong in his arms, my body fits perfectly with his. I look up at him and I catch him off guard and I put my hands on his face and twist at the same time so that I'm sitting on his lap with my legs wrapped behind him. I smile then I kiss him loving the feeling of his lips, he kisses me back. But we quit kissing very quickly hearing someone behind us I stand to see you it is..Jake..
"oohh, looky here Quil and Claire kissing by the stream." He says while laughing.
"Shut up Jake!" I say hitting him playfully.
"Awh come on Claire I got to get my jokes in sometime. I mean I've known he imprinted on you since you were two! And he just told you that he did and that he loves you. Come on give me a little break."
"Hhmm I'll think about it."
"Hey Jake, I wouldn't mess with Claire she has a bad bite like Nessie." Quil says laughing as I hit his side.
"Oh really now! Only you would know Quil." He says this then turns and runs.
I hear Quil growl under his breath I turn around and I comfort him by placing my hand on his chest then I stand on my tip toes and kiss his cheek. He calms at my touch and kisses my head then my lips pulling me in to deepen the kiss. I lift my arms and lock them around his neck pulling him closer to kiss him more.
He pulls away and whispers in my ear "Sadly we need to go back or else Sam will kill me for having you away for so long and not telling him were we are."
"Very true" I say as I lay my head on your chest.
"Claire, I love you. You are my girl and no-one will take me away from you"
"Good, because I will never share you with anyone"
We walk back to my party hand in hand only to see my Uncle Sam waiting on the porch for us. We quickly say that we are sorry for why we stayed away for so long, then he smiles and says its fine he understands and as he says this Emily comes up to him and hugs him. Quil and I look at each other and smile. He looks at the time then looks at me sadly.
"Whats wrong hun?"
"It's late but I don't want to leave you it will hurt too much."
"Sadly that's true but you will see me tomorrow correct?"
"That is true. Well I guess I must go. I love you Claire-Bear."
I smile as he says my old nickname "I love you too."
We kiss each other good night then I head inside to take a shower and hugs Aunt Em and Uncle Sam good night then I head to bed waiting tomorrow to come fast.
Hey people I hope you like Chapter 1 of my story this is only the beginning of Quil and Claire's life together. There will be a lot of drama in the chapters to come so stay tuned.
