Please enjoy and let your imagination run wild if there is anything special you may want to see give a shout and i can see if it can fit it in.


"They smelled funny..." she said with a sleepy smile. "Embry will you lay with me I'm kind of cold"

"Of course sweetheart" and with that her body was intertwined with mine and it felt glorious. I set my alarm for 2 hours; I still had stuff to get done .Bella let out a sigh as she snuggled into my chest and feel back asleep.

"Good night my sweetheart"

"Good night hunny"

I have never hated an alarm so much in my life than before now. My two hour nap with Bella was over and I had to get to the kitchen to make sure that the other cooks haven't killed Shawn or to make sure he hasn't burnt the place down. I look down and see my beautiful Bella wrapped around me. I noticed Bella has changed in the most subtle ways her hair was longer obviously but it curled more, her body had softened in all the right places. Her hips were more rounded; her chest from what was shown was more supple, rising and falling in all the right places begging to be caressed. Her thighs, toned but smooth still, legs still seamed miles long. Her skin that used to be milky white now had more color to it like a light bronze, as if it were kissed by the sun ever so lightly.

Hmm I wonder if there are any tan lines I'm not seeing any yet

"How is it I managed to stay away from you?'

Well I don't but I have to get back to the guys, tonight has to go well.

Bella snuggled into the crook of my arms, her arms and legs draped over my own. She started to stir and mumble in her sleep. Her perfect little body was laid out for my pleasure covered yet still uncovered. Bella's little boy shorts and tank left me screaming for more. I was only able to see the bottom curve of her cheeks and lower part of her stomach from he scrap of cloth that had ridden up as a result of her squirming in her sleep. I held her tighter to me as I ran my fingers through her hair. Interrupting my bliss was the tune of the dueling banjos; a text from one of my head guys. Can life ever throw me a bone?

Chef need you down- here getting in the weeds

Be there in 15 minutes

I managed to wiggle out from underneath Bella with out her waking up. As I'm heading downstairs I see the beast of her dog sitting at the bottom as if he was waiting for me to come down. I got the feeling if he was human he would be standing with his arms crossed at his chest giving me the evil eye. Instead he is sitting there looking regal as ever with his head tilted down, still giving me the evil eye.

"You might want to go upstairs to Bella she's going to get cold"

The dog actually huffs at me when I walk by. He is going to be a tough one to win over. I write Bella a quick note and head out the door. I turn to take one last look over my shoulder and that dog is still staring at me. So what does the responsible 25 year old man do in a situation like this?

I stare back, straight in the eye. Neither of us looks away for the next couple minutes. Although I start to get a bit apprehensive when he moves from his spot at the stairs and walks over to me never breaking eye contact. How he does it I have no idea, but he sits directly in front of me staring at me tempting me to look away. But i'm the bigger dog here and I'm not backing down he will just have to understand he is not my alpha.

Maybe I should phase that'd show him who's the big dog in the house.

God knows with my luck I'd give the dog a heart attack and mess up Bella's house, so that's a bad idea.

Finally he looks away. Point for me; Embry 1 dog 0. I walk out and turn around to the window where Bella is sleeping and I see that dog. Is he really eyeing me up again?

"This victory is mine pooch deal with it"

I wake up to the sound of the front door slamming shut and a pair of paws in my face.

"Embry?"

"B ee ll aa, where are you?"

I then realized who it is when I hear the scraping of paws on the wood floor. This is when Remy wakes up and I get kicked again when he tries to roll over and get off the bed. These are the times when it's not so cute that he sleeps on his back with his paws in the air they always manage to find an away to be in my face.

"I'm upstairs Melissa; did you find the house ok?"

"Yea GPS works wonders, so have you seen Mr. Honey Voice yet?"

"Umm... I think he was here I could have been dreaming though..."

That is when she waltz's in the room with a piece of paper in her hand. I manage to roll over and its then I realize I'm alone in my bed.

What did you expect him to be here when you woke up?

"Dreaming were you? Well let's hope it was good one."

"What do you got there Mel?"

"Oh it's nothing just a note, thatEmbryleftyouafterhewashere."

"Want to repeat that, I didn't get the sleep out of my ears yet to be able to understand the language that the Melissa speaks."

"I said I have a note here from Mr. Honey Voice for you so you definitely weren't dreaming there hot shot."

"HUH what does it say let me see it"

I start to reach for it but it's snatched away before I can grasp it. As if on cue Melissa jumps up and down on the bed.

"Oh Bella how I love you let me count the ways ….. One …. Two….Three…"

"Ok Roger Rabbit give me the note!"

"Nope sorry can't do that my man-dango"

She runs back downstairs and I hear her on the CB

"Leapfroger come in Leapfroger! Quit sucking face on the couch this is important. Over"

"Go ahead Humperdink"

"Did I interrupt?"

"Don't you always"

"Yes and I'm good at it aren't I"

"What's the good word?"

"Thought you'd never ask get over here so we can gossip I've got a note that needs sharing"

"Roger that I'll be over in 10 and I've got your dresses so we can get ready there, Seth is going to pick us up around 6 ok"

"Roger that I'll see ya when I see ya"

By the time Lilly got over Melissa had the beer in the cooler and we were on the back porch waiting for the ok to read the letter. Mel had already cracked open a beer, she just got back home from Maryland and brought back a load of National Bohemian. God knows how much she bought but the bed of the truck was full. Her excuse – you can't by this on the west coast. It's a Maryland thing. I like it and we have cases of it back in Seattle, so we have to drink it.

"Its 5'oclock somewhere"

"You know if I didn't know any better I'd say you were a 16 year old stuck n a 23 year olds body Melissa"

"Good thing you don't know any better or we would all be in trouble"

"Ok, I'm here throw me a cold one and we can get down to business"

"So can I read it now Mel it is directed to me"

"Have you read it yet Mel?"

"No I thought I would be nice this time around and not ruin the surprise, but it's been tough"

"Ok where is it?"

"Underneath the cooler I had to get it out of my eyesight or I was going

to cave and read it"

"Ha-ha the cooler are you serious?!"

Bella,

It was great seeing you, even though you were a sleep. Maybe next time we can try to keep each other up?

I hope you had a good nap. Oh and your dog sure is something else. I can't wait to see you tonight so we

can catch up. It been to long sweetheart, and I've missed you. See you soon and enjoy your sandwiches.

Love Embry

"Well it sounds pretty friendly to me"

"Yea it's just a bit too "friendly" in the way of I wanna braid your hair and paint your toenails to me, but he did end with love so that means something"

"Bella, Lilly you both are nuts. That letter is practically saying the total opposite!

Maybe next time we can keep each other up? Good God Bella he wants you and wants you bad!

And the whole sweetheart thing is cute I like it, its different.

What did that num nut use to call you?"

"Which one?" "Edward or Jake? Edward used to call me Love , and Jake well he used to say Babe if I remember correctly."

"But it still seems a bit to on the side of lets have lunch or whatever I'm not trying here"

"Lilly I haven't seen him for 5 years practically; he's not going to write I'm glad we were in bed together it was great sleeping with you hope to do it again."

"What in gods name are you talking about in bed together?

"Remember how I told you I thought I was dreaming, well he must of carried me upstairs cause I was originally on the couch waiting for you"

"And what else Bella"

"And I may have asked him to stay with me since I was a little cold, because the blankets were in the wash"

"So are you saying you guys were in bed, asleep, wrapped up in each others arms?"

"Yes and it was amazing" I could feel the all too familiar blush creep up my face.

12 beers, 5 sandwiches and four hours later we were dressed and pressed waiting for Seth to pick up Lilly. Melissa and I were playing war at the table while Lilly ran through the conversation that she was going to have with Charlie.

"Bella, do you think he will say yes?"

"Of course Lilly what do you think he'd say No?!"

"Well I don't know I'm not his daughter, and it's not like I grew up with you or anything"

"Everything will be fine just relax; do you want me to ask him?"

"No I can do this"

After a couple calming breaths and few paper bags to help stop her from hyperventilating and a shot of Vodka. Lilly had it under control.

"Hey little sister, what have you done..."

"Hey Seth, hey Leah it's good to see ya how you been?"

"Bella!! I'm good I've come to ride with you girls, all they guys were at Seth's I couldn't handle it any more."

"I don't blame you; no one should have to suffer all of that ridiculousness in one room."

"So Bella, Jake looked pretty upset that you didn't see him when you came home. He found out Embry came over here and got all kinds of pissed off at Seth."

"Oh he was angry was he? How did he find out the Embry came over"

"Jake was on his way to Sam and Emily's when he saw Embry leave for your house, he came inside asking Sam where he was going,

Sam told him to ask me so I said he was doing a favor for me. He got upset and asked why I didn't ask him to do it"

I could tell Seth was still upset with the way Jake and I broke up; I mean I'm still kind of sore about it myself.

'What did you say to him, you didn't start picking a fight did you?"

"No I didn't pick a fight with him I want to but I'm not going to, I told him that he has done plenty enough to you."

"That's not all Seth said Bella"

"Leah cut it out-"

"What else happened Leah, because it doesn't seem like I'm going to get the full story form him."

"He said to Jake that it would be in his best interest to stay away from you that if he so even looks at you the wrong way Seth would personally tear him to pieces"

"Jesus Seth, well there went having an easy week."
