To say the least, I was nervous. I never really felt uneasy around the guys at home, but he wasn't one of the guys from home. It wasn't that he intimidated me it's just I really like him and don't want to embarrass myself.

I wonder if he even likes me. As I walked to the school my thoughts got progressively more negative. Maybe he doesn't and won't even show. I frowned at this thought.

But he didn't ditch, he was waiting out front just like he said. Just seeing him there made my heart flutter. He smiled making butterflies erupted in my stomach.

"Hey," he greeted me casually.

"Hi," I squeaked excitedly. I pretended to cough to clear my throat.

"Since I don't really know what you like and you're new," Embry explained. "I decided to take you on a tour of the rez."

"Cool," I responded noting his shirtless-ness. We headed toward what seemed to be the center of La Push. "So what happened to your shirt?"

"Oh, uh….that," he stuttered blushing under his red/brown skin. "It's hot out so I took it off…."

"Oh," I said seeing where he was coming from.

"That," he informed me pointing to a good sized building. "Is the convenience store, where you can pick up groceries, medicine, just whatever you need."

The tour wasn't very long, but the town was very big either. Embry had ended the little expedition on First beach where we still where asking each other questions.

"Okay, what's your favorite color?" Embry challenged.

"Green," I answered without hesitation. "And yours?"

"Umm…Orange," he decided. "Favorite animal?"

"I'd have to say…"I pondered wracking my brain. "The wolf."

"Really?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "Mine, too."

"How about favorite book?" I shot thinking about déjà-vu.

"Green Eggs and Ham," he announced proudly.

"Nah-uh," I giggled at him.

"It's true," Embry defended putting up his hands. "I'm a kid at heart."

"Sure," I sighed rolling my eyes. It was silent for a moment and I just enjoyed sitting with him.

"The sunset is beautiful," he stated. And it was true, it was one of the few times a day you could see it in this cloudy little town. I scooted closer to him on the sand so that our hands were almost touching. He surprised me and put his hand on mine.

I looked up at him and leaned his face over mine, then hesitated. I took advantage of his pause and closed the distance between our lips. His insanely warm lips felt really good resting on mine, too bad it has to end. The kiss only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away.

A loud growl snarled behind us. Both of us turned around instantly to find a brown wolf. The largest brown wolf I've ever seen.
