Chapter 4- Bonding With Bella & Quil

~Quil's POV~

"Are you okay?!" I asked her frantically looking up and down her body for any signs of cuts.

"I'm fine I just…" She said trailing off in a small voice. She was blushing and looked embarrassed. It was then I noticed that she didn't have a bikini top on. I burst out laughing and fell on the floor. I laughed so much my sides hurt.

"Quil!" Embry exclaimed, confused and outraged at my sudden out burst.

"She…*laugh* has lost… *laugh* her bikini… *laugh* top!" I managed to say, while calming down. I saw Em take one look at her and flash bright crimson under his skin and turn around. That sent me in to another uncontrollable laughing fit. Sahara started shivering, but I was laughing so much I couldn't move. Embry glared at me and then put his arms around her sholders.

~Sahara's POV~

"Are you okay?! He asked me frantically looking me up and down. Aww crap how am I gonna tell them that I lost my bikini top in the water.

"I'm fine I just…" I didn't no what to say. Quil looked at me again and then burst out laughing. He had figured it out, crap! Quil fell on the floor laughing.

"Quil!" Embry exclaimed, clearly outraged and confused about Quil's sudden outburst.

"She…*laugh* has lost… *laugh* her bikini… *laugh* top!" Quil managed to blurt out, but I could tell that he was calming down. I glared at the floor when I noticed that Embry was about to look at me. I noticed that it was getting cold and I started to shiver. Quil was still laughing and Embry glared at him and then put his arms around me. He was so warm, too warm... It felt like he was on fire.

"Em, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. "You feel like you have a really high temperature." He looked down and smiled at me and said, "I feel fine, don't worry, I'm sure it will pass."

"What is going on here?" Jacob asked in an amused voice. Great another person to enjoy my embarrassment. Quil giggled in a very girly way, which made me blush. Embry gave him a stern look.

"While diving in to the water Sary's top came off, now she's trying to cover up and she is cold." Embry said in a soft voice and he hugged me tighter. Jake burst out laughing and Quil joined in. They punched each other on the arm and rolled on the floor.

"Boy's turn around please," I was astonished at how sweet the voice sounded. I realised that it was Bella's.

"Why do you want to do that?" Jake asked Bella, with tears still in his eyes.

"Because so I can give her my jumper and she can put it on to cover up." Bella said shyly. The boys all turned around. Bella took her jumper off and gave it to me.

"Here you go." She smiled at me.

"Thank you," I said, she blushed. Damn it! Even when she is embarrassed she is pretty, I can't even compete with her. I sighed as I put one arm through the jumper whole. Jake and Quil tried to turn around at the same time, but Embry hit both of them around the back of their head. That made me and Bella giggle and we looked at each other. I did up all the buttons of the coat and said,

"Okay, you can turn around now."

Jake came over to me. "You scared me don't ever do it again." He whispered in to my ear. I shivered.

Quil and Embry then came over, grabbed Jake and threw him in to the water. As they messed about in the water Bella said to me, "Come on, I got a spare bikini top in my car."

So me and her walked a long the beach until we got back to her car, we talked along the way and she told me about her mum, Phil and Charlie. She told me how she once had a boyfriend called Edward Cullen, who she loves very much, but he left to protect her. This confused me, but I knew that she didn't wan to talk about it. We swapped numbers as well. By that time we had reached her car. She opened her car boot and chucked me a bikini top.

"Here you go, I hope it fits, you just so… well insured up top." She giggled.

I knew that I should be jealous and annoyed with her because of how Jake acts around her, but she was just so nice!

"Do you have your bathers on?" I asked her.

"Yes?" Bella asked confused, "Why?"

"Because," I said with a devilish smile. "Strip now!"

"Uh okay?" she said while taking her clothes off, showing her purple bikini.

"Cute, where did you get it!" I asked.

"Phoenix." She answered, embarrassed by my compliment.

"Cool, now grab my hand." I said to her, hoping that she would trust me. She grabbed my hand and I walked with her to the edge of the cliff.

"Okay, we are going to jump off, don't worry I'll look after you, I promise." Are looked at her, hoping that my face looked sincere. She nodded.

"Okay. One… Two… Three… JUMP!" I shouted and we stepped off the cliff. Bella screamed and held tightly on to my hand. We plunged in to the deep water and I pulled her up to the top with me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, a little worried that she hadn't said anything.

"I'm… great!" she exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear. We looked and saw the boys on the beach.

"Come on, I think they are waiting for us." I said as I tapped her on the shoulder.

We started swimming towards to shore. When we got out to water we held hands and started to walk towards the boys.

"I see you have become good friends," Quil smiled.

"Yar, Bella's awesome!" I smiled at my new friend.

"And Sary's the Bomb Diggity!" Bella laughed. Jacob came over and wrapped his arms around Bella.

'It's good to see you smiling," he said to her and Bella blushed. I looked at the floor so that I wouldn't get upset. I then felt four large arms around me. I looked up to see Quil and Em staring down at me.

"Hey boys," I smiled, "Em are you sure your okay?"

"Now that you mention it I am starting to feel a bit weird, I think I'm gonna go home." He said.

"Oh my gosh Em!! Are you okay? Do you want me to come? Do you need anything?" I asked starting to panic.

The boys just started to laugh at me.

"I'll be okay, Sary, don't worry," Embry tried to comfort me. "Just stay here with Quil, okay?"

"Yer stay here with me!" Quil shouted and picked me up bridal style. I giggled and stroked his hair.

"Bye Sary, Quil, Bella and Jake." Embry said as he walked towards his car.

"BY EM! I LOVE YOU! CALL ME!" I shouted.

Embry laughed and said

"Love ya to, I'll try and call you. Keep outta trouble!"

"Quil I wanna talk to Bella." I turned around to face Quill, still in his arms.

"okay, easily done." He smirked, "Bella come here."

Bella walked towards Quil and he scooped her up as well. So now Bella and me were both in his arms. We giggled together as he started to walk towards to water, but then we figured out what he was going to do. We screamed and kicked, but he had an iron grip. He dropped Bella first. Just as he was going to drop me Jake tripped him up and Quil landed face first in to the water, which meant I was trapped underneath him. I hit the ground hard and it knocked the breath out of me. I struggled to get out from under his body, but his was too heavy. I started to feel dizzy and I swallowed water. Suddenly Quil got up, pulling me up with him. Jacob and Bella just stared at me while I coughed and spluttered and Quil hit my back to get the water out of me.

"Are you okay?" Quil asked anxiously.

I tried to talk, but my throat was dry so I just nodded.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked. I shook my head. Content that I wasn't hurt Quil turned to Jacob.

"JACOB YOU IDIOT!" he shouted angrily, " I COULD HAVE REALLY HURT HER!"

"I-I… I am sorry, I thought it would be a laugh." Jacob stuttered, wide eyed still.

"I'll be fine," I croaked "Quil, can you take me home please?"

"Sure." Quil replied while picking me up and glaring at Jacob.

"Bye Sary, I'll call you tonight if I can." Bella called out to me.

"Okay," I smiled at her. "Bye Jake, see you tomorrow?"

"Yeh, if I can." He yelled back, since when I started talking, Quil had started walking. He set me down in the passenger seat of the car. He handed me his water bottle and I skulled the whole thing.

"Where do you live?" he asked quietly, but he was still angry.

"Next to Jake. Quil, don't be angry you didn't hurt me and Jake didn't mean anything." I answered, slowly and quietly.

He sighed, "Yeh I guess your right, even though I've only known you for a while I already feel very protective of you, like a big brother." He smiled while speaking the last part of his sentence.

"I know what you mean. I feel like you and Em are my big brothers." I laughed.

"I guess it's settled then, I now have a little sister." He said while smiling hugely. We were know parked outside my drive way.

"Wanna come in and hang out. You can meet my actual big brother." I joked.

"Yar, why not." He smiled back.

We walked in to my house and straight away bumped in to my mum.

"Hey Sary, did you have a good… whose this?" Mum inquired staring at Quil.

"This is Jake's friend and now mine as well. His name is Quil." I told mum.

"Hi Mrs Quinault." Quil smiled his best looking smile towards mum.

"Pfft, please Jamie, Mrs Quinault makes me sound like a grandma," mum smiled back at him. I could tell that she approved of me hanging out with him.

"Okay mum, were going to the basement," I told her. The basement was where the flat screen, Wii, Xbox and so on were.

"Okay have fun, wait Quil do you want to stay for dinner?" mum asked Quil.

"Sure, thanks," Quil answered and followed me.

"I think Will's down there," I told Quil when we reached the basement stairs. "You ready to meet me actual brother?"

"Duhh." Quil gave me a goofy smile.
