It was Sunday afternoon and I was spending the day lounging around the house, but I couldn't find it in myself to focus on doing anything. I just couldn't stop thinking about that kiss I had with Paul. I know I barley knew him, but at the same time it was like I had known him all my life, how was that?
It just felt so right being around him, and I couldn't stop thinking about it or anything else. Heaving a heavy sigh I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts as I got up and headed towards the fridge in search of something to eat.
I was making my way towards the kitchen when I had a vision. An angry large russet wolf was snarling threateningly before quickly lunging toward another wolf. This one was grey and looking just as angry as the first wolf ...the vision soon ended and I was brought back to reality, were I immediately ran to my sketch book and grabbed a pencil as I quickly drew what I had seen.
After I was done I looked down at what I had drawn, which was a close up look of the russet wolf but what shocked me was I had also scribbled down a name… "Jacob Black?" I whispered confused.
That was certainly new I had only ever seen images of a scene being played out that was all, I'd never gotten names before... just pictures.
Knock, Knock, Knock!
Hearing the door I hesitantly pulled away from my drawing to go and see who was knocking, and answering the door I was met with a familiar face.
"Embry?" I questioned, as I opened the door to see him standing outside on the front steps with a stupid grin on his face "How do you know where I live?" I asked completely confused.
As I cautiously let him into my house, but he didn't seem to notice "Nice place" he commented as he walked in and looked around "Thanks" I said, shutting the door behind him.
"But you didn't answer my question" I told him eyebrow raised, but Embry just shrugged nonchalantly and walked towards the couch to take a seat.
But that was before he glanced at my sketch laying on the table and completely froze as he stared at the image drawn before slowly picking up the sketch book. "When did you draw this?" he asked me sounding strangely calm and quiet.
"I.. um... finished it a few minutes ago" I said fiddling with my shirt sleeve, a nervous habit that I had eveloped. "Jacob!" he suddenly yelled at me no longer calm but clearly very angry.
"How do you know this name?!" he demanded and I took a small step away from him "I don't know" I admitted in a quiet voice I was getting a little scared. Especially when Embry walked over towards me and roughly grabbed my arm holding it tightly "How do you know this name?!" he repeated.
"Embry" I winced slightly "You're hurting me" I whimpered glancing down at my arm in discomfort which seemed to snap him out of it. He quickly let go of my arm before he took in a breath and letting it out calmly "I'm sorry, I lost my cool for a second" I rubbed my arm
"No shit," I said rubbing my arm and looking down at my reddened skin it was definitely going to bruise… damn it "Why are you even here?" I asked him "Oh Paul wanted you to come over to the house to hang so he sent me to get you" I raised an eyebrow.
"Why didn't he come and get me himself?" A nervous look crossed Embry's face "He um, had to do an errand for his mom" he said, "but he'll met us there though" I nodded and grabbed my stuff and we headed to his car and we left.
Embry was silent on the ride towards La Push, his face was set, and he gripped the wheel so tight his knuckles were turning white. "Em?" I asked watching him carefully his eyes glanced at me before setting them back on the road "You don't have to feel bad about hurting me" I told him softly.
"I know you didn't mean too" I told him gently and he sighed "Yes I do, I shouldn't have overreacted like that" he said. "Why did you react like that to my drawing?" I asked him curious, I didn't get an answer as we pulled up to Sam's house.
We got out and as soon as I walked in I was given a hug from Emily who gestured me towards the table saying lunch was ready, I sat down across from Jared and Embry who were already face full in food. I barley sat down when I was pulled out of my seat and into a pair of warm arms in which I imminently felt safe in.
"Hey Paul," I whispered wrapping my arms around him in a hug, he hugged me back before pulling away with a brilliant smile on his face he pecked my cheek. "Hey Babe" I blushed slightly a warmth spreading in my stomach he winked at me then pulled me into the chair next to him and started stuffing his face with food.
Causing me to giggle as Emily came in with more food and reached forward to grab a sandwich, but my arm was suddenly grabbed and pulled back. I look at Paul who was staring at the finger sized bruises on my arm oh… damn it!
