Unexpecting
Chapter Four
Embrys POV.
I was just coming out of my last lesson and I saw Alex talking to this other girl that I didn't know. My stomach flipped at the sight of Alex. She was wearing tight skinny jeans again, she rarely doesn't – not that I'm complaining, and a tight vest top and a big cardigan. She always looked so good.
I walked towards them and smiled brightly at Alex when she saw me.
"Hey." She said, I nodded, still smiling at her.
"So, you're coming?" The girl next to her said.
"What? Oh the party. Yeah. The guy's will come if I persuade them enough." Alex said and smiled mischievously at her and then grinned innocently at me. I rolled my eyes at her. She knew she could get me to do whatever she wanted.
"What are we doing?" I asked submissively and the other girl giggled again.
"Oh! Embry this is Katy, Katy's having a party tonight and everyone's invited." I looked at the girl and she smiled brightly at me. I smiled meekly back at her.
"Cool, we'll see you later then." I said and started to pull Alex away with me. She roller her eyes at the girl who laughed in return.
"See you!" Alex called over her shoulder. I left my hand on her waist as we walked towards Paul's car.
"Do we have to go?" I said and pouted at her. She rolled her eyes and laughed. We greeted the others who were all at the lot waiting in 'our space' at the far corner near the woods. Convenient much?
"Go where?" Paul said as he flung his bag in the boot of his car.
"A par-tay!" Alex sang as she leaned against his bonnet.
Jared smiled. "Immense, we haven't been to one in ages."
"Exactly! Mr Boring over there would rather stay at home." She said and poked me. I rolled my eyes. "Everyone's invited. It's at Katys house." She turned to Paul. "She's the one from English." She said and he nodded. "She lives a couple houses down from Quil. It's tonight at seven."
We all just nodded. Nobody disagreed with Alex much, apart from Paul. But he was stupid and usual got beatings.
That's when we saw Laura come out of school, her face covered with fallen tears. Alex whimpered and got off Paul's car.
"I think we're walking home, thanks anyway Paul." She said before walking of towards Laura, Paul just nodded. I entwined my fingers in hers and pulled her back.
"Be careful yeah?" I said.
"You mean I can't jump in front of cars?" She asked in fake innocence. I almost jumped her bones; she looked so hot when she was pretending to be all sweet and innocent.
"I'll come pick you up before seven." I said and she just laughed and waved at the others.
"Shouldn't you go as well, kid, have a little family talk?" Quil said, nudging Theo in the side.
Theo glared at him, he hated being called kid. I laughed at him, I couldn't personally be nasty to Theo as he'd turn Alex against me in his sick twisted ways but it was fun to see him in pain as he always embarrassed me in front of his sister.
He was really the kid of us though. When we had that big fiasco with those shitty vampires loads of the others started phasing, so we were all surprised when Theo turned up afterwards. But Theo was a lot better than a lot of us were when we first started phasing. He can really control it. But him being able to see into my mind was a bit shitty. But I also found out a lot more about Alex because of it.
"You shitting me? I'd have no clue what to do with a crying Laura. Alex is better at that stuff than me, and she'll come tell me anyway if it's serious." He said and we all nodded.
We watched as Alex hugged and talked to Laura for a bit before walking of, hand in hand.
"What about with a crying Alex?" Kim said softly. Theo laughed.
"You really have got to be shitting me now." He said but we all just looked at him in confusion, he rolled his eyes. "Lex doesn't let anyone see her cry. I've only ever seen her about twice in my whole life."
We frowned at him.
"She… doesn't cry… ever?" Jared said as we stared after Alex and Laura who just rounded the corner at the end of the road, out of site.
"No, she does." He cringed. "Quite a lot I think. She just wouldn't ever let anyone see. She doesn't want anyone to pity her, or try to take care of her."
"Good luck with that one, bro." Paul said as he smacked me on the shoulder and laughed awkwardly. I just ignored him. I was going to take care of Alex, no matter what.
Quil rolled his eyes. "If only he got the balls to tell her he's' madly in love with her, eh?" He said. I just glared at him. "It's kind of amusing how she's totally oblivious to it you know? She's so observant about stuff, but when it comes to herself – you could propose to her and she'd still wouldn't think you loved her."
I winced; it was true. I, although I tried to control myself, practically drooled over her everyday and she hadn't seemed to notice. Nor had she noticed that I randomly kept popping up at her house, or that I was always the one sitting next to her, or touching her, watching her, and that I kept staying late at hers and 'accidentally falling asleep' with her. I never fall asleep before she does, but if I pretended then she feels to mean to wake me and gives up trying to detach herself so she falls asleep with me, I then end up watching her sleep for hours before I eventually drift of. Watching Alex sleep has quickly become my favourite hobby. I sound like such a pervert, but Alex is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and she just gets confused if I look at her too long when she's awake, although she does look really cute when she's confused… anyway, I never want to forget what she looks like. Ever. Also, she's kind of mesmerising, a fucking vampire could come up to me and lick the side of my face and I wouldn't notice if it was while I was watching Alex sleep.
"I talked to Alex about you, Embry." Leah said as she came up and flung her bag in her car.
I looked at her with hope filled eyes. "What did she say?" I asked.
"She said that there wasn't a chance in hell that you'd ever like her in that way." She said and she looked, surprisingly, apologetic.
I winced again, "Lets just go." I mumbled as I got in Paul's car.
I did my patrol with Quil, who took the piss out of me some more because of Alex and then we went to go visit the Cullens for a bit, and eventually I left to go see Alex, because although it hadn't even been a day, I really missed her. Pathetic, I know.
I pulled up at her house and got out of my car. Her dad was just coming back at the same time. I think he'd gotten used to me always being at his house.
"Hi Embry." He said and I smiled at him. I always felt really nervous in front of Alex's dad.
"Hey." I said and my face brightened up when I saw Alex. She had her earphones in again and was searching frantically around her living room while she sang along to a song.
"Alex!" He shouted at her, she hadn't noticed us which then resulting with her screaming.
"Whoa guys!" She said as she put her hand over her heart that was pumping ferociously. "Oh dad!" He turned around and but he didn't look at her, he just fiddled with his work papers. Weird.
"Yeah?" He said.
"You know how I'm sixteen and all…" She started and he sighed.
"You're not driving my car." He said and she groaned in frustration.
"Why move to America if you're going to abide by the English law!?" She moaned while frowning as she looked under the coach.
"Because you get in enough accidents anyway, so Jesus knows how much damage you'll do in a car on the road." He said, and I nodded in agreement at her, she sighed.
"Lessons? How about I just have a couple lessons?" She asked him hopefully and he just sighed, she then turned to me, with her eyes wide in excitement. "Embry will teach me. Won't you, Embry?"
I rolled my eyes but nodded. She didn't even knew I'd imprinted on her and she had me wrapped round her little finger, I don't look forward to what she'll be like when she finds out that I will literally do anything she wants me to do. At the moment she just thought that I was overly nice. Yeah right, like I'd ever be like this for anyone apart from her.
"Immense!" She screamed and jumped on me again. I suppose it's worth it then. Who am I kidding? Anything's worth doing if I get to hold her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I quickly hugged her back as I buried my face in her soft, long brown hair.
She smelt really good.
"Put the sister down, Call." Theo's voice came through as he barged past me towards the kitchen. I sighed and reluctantly put her down. She rolled her eyes at her brother and turned to me, "You're early?"
"Yeah, I was bored so I thought I'd just come early to see how you were." I said as she went back to searching the living room. She smiled so brightly at me it made my stomach feel all funny.
"Theo?" She called. "Have you seen my…" She stopped as her dad came in holding that necklace she always wore in his hand, still diverting his eyes from meeting hers. "Necklace." She finished as she winced and took it from him.
"Don't loose it Alex." He warned her softly before he walked away.
She sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. I walked towards her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She just turned to me and smiled.
"Shall we go up to my room, I need to get ready?" She asked and I smiled brightly at her.
"Like I'd ever give up an invitation to go to your room alone with you." I said and she laughed. Not those stupid little flirty giggle laughs like some girls would, it was an actual laugh.
I loved her laughs; her laughter always changed depending on how funny she found something. I loved her laughter when she found something funny, but she knew she should be laughing, so she covers her mouth with her hand, but you can still hear it and her eyes go really wide and they twinkle. But my favourite has to be her full out, hysterical laughter, where she usually has to lean on something to steady herself and her eyes are practically swimming and she lets out a snort every so often, which usually results in her laughing harder.
"Sit." She ordered as she pointed to her bed and I happily complied. "I just need to re-straighten my hair." She went over and picked up her hair-straightners and turned them on.
I rolled my eyes. "You really don't need to, Lex. Your hair's beautiful."
She scoffed, "I have like the worst hair ever."
I growled at her but she just laughed back at me. She never lets me compliment her on anything. I picked her up and chucked her over my shoulder. She screamed at me. "Embry! Put me down right now!" She started kicking and thumping at me viciously but I couldn't feel it. I just laughed at her as I picked up the straightners she dropped and turned them of.
I laid her down on her bed, with her still shouting and hitting my vigorously, and I laid on top of her, pining her to the bed. She moaned my name and I was having incredible trouble to refrain from kissing her.
"Get of me!" She whined and I just smiled stubbornly at her as I shook my head. "Fine." She huffed as she relaxed underneath me. "When are we going to start the driving lessons?"
I sighed. "This weekend if you want." She grinned happily at me as she tried to inconspicuously slip out of my grip but I kept my hands over her arms and her legs under mine.
"Alex…" Laura called before opening the door and walking in, but when she saw us she covered her eyes and screamed. "Erg, guys! Not in the house." She mumbled. Alex squeaked in disbelief. "We're not doing anything Laura!" She said as she tried disencumbering her body again.
"I'm sure." Laura scoffed as she turned to leave.
"No don't leave me alone! He's pining me down with his body, help!" Alex called and Laura turned around and laughed.
"Like I could move him." Laura said and I laughed.
"She's so right." I said and Alex huffed.
"What did you want then, as your not going to be my rescuer?" Alex asked Laura and then pouted at me. I groaned and buried my face in the crook between her neck and shoulder.
"I told you, you aren't allowed to pout." I mumbled and Alex's body shook with laughter.
"Oh yeah, Quil and Jacob are here. They said you're giving them a lift." She said and I groaned again while Alex laughed triumphantly.
"Thanks, Lozza!" Laura groaned.
"Don't call me that!" She yelled over her shoulder as she walked out.
"Now you have to get off me." Alex said as she gently shoved me with her shoulder.
"Bite me." I muttered against her neck and wrapped my arms around her waist, breathing her scent in again.
Alex moved around and then all of a sudden, she bit me! Right on the neck, and because my mind was too busy going overload I couldn't stop her when she flipped us so she was on top, although she was still biting me.
She pulled away and smiled smugly at me before jumping of the bed and running down the stairs.
I laid there for a moment as I contemplated what had just happened before I ran after her. She was already downstairs putting her shoes on by the time I reached her and she jumped behind Quil and yelped when she saw me.
"Save me Quil. Sacrifice yourself." She shouted as she peaked at me from behind his shoulder. He just laughed as Jacob came up to me and inspected my neck, I frowned at him and hit him.
"I can't believe you bit him." Quil chuckled and she smiled proudly.
"I thought he was asking me too." She said as she walked towards the front door as Theo came down.
"Why are you all coming in my car?" I mumbled to them as she opened the door and headed towards my car.
"We didn't want you two to get lonely, now did we?" Theo said innocently and smiled at me while I just rolled my eyes.
"I call shotgun!" Quil shouted and got in front as Alex climbed into the back next to Jacob and Theo.
"How's Nessie, Jacob? We went to the Cullens and they said you took her out." I asked as I pulled out of Alex's driveway. It hadn't been that long since he'd imprinted either.
"She's doing good. Growing really quick though." He said and we nodded.
"Who's Nessie?" Alex asked as she shifted uncomfortably in-between the two werewolves, there really wasn't that much room in this car.
"Oh- just a family friend." Jacob said and smiled at her.
"Cool. Er, Quil, why did you come all the way to mine when you live so close to Katy's?" She asked as we turned down his road.
"I wasn't at home, yours was closer so I thought I'd catch a lift with dearest Embry." He said as he clapped me on the shoulder, I rolled my eyes.
"It's this one." Alex said as she pointed to a house and I pulled over and parked. She was bouncing her knee up and down, Quil laughed at her as he got out of the car.
"Excited much?" He asked and she grinned widely at him.
"You bet; this is my first American party." She said as we made our way inside and saw Kim and Jared now arriving as well.
Alex started laughing as we greeted them. "We don't need to ask to know what you guys have been doing!" She said and Kim blushed while Jared laughed.
"What are you getting at?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around Kim.
Alex scoffed and pulled Kim's hair back and pointed to the hickey on her neck. Kim squealed and pulled her hair down before hitting Jared.
"I told you to stop doing that!" She moaned while he just beamed proudly.
"How the hell did you see that?" I asked Alex but she just shrugged and walked over to Katy and started talking to her and a couple other people.
We got drinks and went to sit down as Paul, Leah, Seth and Rachel turned up. A couple hours passed as we talked and joked and Alex still hadn't came back; I was getting kind of irritable. Plus we were all the tiniest bit tipsy, although Rachel and Kim were a lot worse as they didn't have as high tolerance as the rest of us.
The song changed and Kim squealed. "I love this song! Lets dance Jar." She slurred and pulled Jared along with her towards the few people that were dancing.
That's when I saw Alex laughing with this boy who was handing her another bottle. I think I got a little bit angry, as Paul had to try and hold me back so I didn't phase right there in front of everyone.
"Dude, that's Katy's boyfriend. He'd never do anything with anyone else, let alone at her house, God damn it. Calm down." He muttered, I nodded and relaxed a little.
"I'm going to go get her." I said before rushing towards Alex. When she saw me her eyes light up, which made my stomach turn, and walked over to hug me.
"Bye Tom!" She shouted as flung her arms around my neck. "Phew. Thank god you came." She said as I, reluctantly, let go of her.
"Why?" I growled as I glared at him. I swear to god, if he upset her…
"No, no. It's nothing bad, it's just he's been going on to me for the past half hour about how amazing Katy is and how he's not good enough for her. I swear to god, he's such a sap. I don't know how she puts up with him. Unless it's just all the alcohol he's been drinking." She said as she sat down next to Leah.
"Yeah, he's the one drinking loads. You reek of alcohol." Leah said as she wrinkled her nose up.
"I've only been drinking it to drown out Tom!" She exclaimed as she took another gulp from her bottle. I noticed now that her speech was, like Kim's, a little slurred.
Paul came back over from wherever he went while I got Alex with a bottle of vodka and some shot glasses.
"Mmm, yum yum. Vodka shots!" Kim said as she and Jared returned.
Alex gasped in delight. "Lets play I Never!"
"Wassat?" Rachel mumbled as she leaned into Paul. Jacob rolled his eyes at her.
"Everyone take turns to say a statement, and if you've done it, you have to drink a shot. Like I were to say, um… I've never got a hickey by Jared, then Kim would have to drink." She said and Kim blushed again. "I think that's how it works anyway." She mumbled afterwards as she rubbed her forehead.
"And you have to tell the truth." Leah added and Alex nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay. I'll start." Jacob said as he filled up the shot glasses. He smirked evilly at Paul. "I've never gone further than kissing." Paul frowned in confusion as picked up the glass. "With more than one girl." Paul looked guilty at Rachel as he took a drink. She screamed and smacked him over the back of the head.
Theo, Quil, Jacob and… Alex all took a drink.
"What!?" I screamed as we stared at her in disbelief.
"You're gay?" Jacob asked her but she shook her head and blushed.
"Twice was when I got drunk, and the other, er, we 'experimented'." She said, still blushing and winced.
"I think I'm going to hurl." Theo moaned.
"Three times?" Leah asked as she started laughing.
"Shut up. Embry you go next." Alex moaned and I nodded.
"I never made out with Nathan Greenbroker at the back of class two years ago." I said and Leah scowled at me before drinking which set us off all laughing.
"Ew, Leah, that's baaaad!" Kim said as she started hiccupping.
This went on for quite a while, until all the girls, minus Leah, were out of their heads drunk. Being a werewolf gave us all a pretty high alcohol tolerance.
"I love you Paul, because you're so fucking angry, you know?" Alex said as she sat on Paul's lap, looking really confused. He laughed at her, as she poked him in the cheek.
"Embry!" She squealed as ran over and straddled me, starting to stroke my face. "I love you more than Paul." My heart skipped a beat, I swear. I'm turning into such a girl. I leaned back into my chair, while shifting her up.
She kept stroking my face, neck and chest while she spoke. "Do you know why I love you?" I shook my head. "You're so beautiful. So, so beautiful. And you're really lovely. Like, nobody's been as nice to me as you have. Everything feels so right with you, really like, really natural. It feels like I'm being electrocuted when you touch me, but not the nasty sorta electrocuted were, like, I'm in pain, no, not like that. With you it's really nice. And you have the most loveliest smile ever, and, and, you always smile. It makes me happy to see you smile. And you, um, you, you, er… Oh I remember! You always rub your jaw when your sad or angry or nervous or something. Its really cute!" She leaned in really close so she was by my ear. "I think I'm in love with you." She whispered and then pulled back. "But don't tell anyone, because I know you don't love me." I shook my head and tried to form words but nothing came out. "So hush, hush. I don't want to embarrass you." She said before staring at me with her head on the side, and then, holy shit, and then she started kissing me. Like proper full on, tongues and all, kissing. My mind kind of turned to mush, but I tell you now, best kiss of my life.
She moaned into my mouth as I ran my hands up and down her body. Our lips moulded together as if they were made to do this. She ran her hands through my hair and gently tugged on my short hair at the back, which resulted in a low growl erupting from my throat.
Then Paul and Theo, being the great fucking assholes they are decided to pull her off of me. I can't even remember all of the words that I called them for doing that, but it got me a smack in the shoulder from Paul and a slap around the back of the head from Leah.
"Like we were going to let you take advantage of her anymore than you already have." Leah said as she pulled Alex to her. Who squealed and started hugging her.
I winced, I completely forgot how drunken Alex was, I didn't even occur to me how much she tasted of alcohol. I wouldn't of done anything further with Alex, knowing she was drunk. I hope. I'm pretty gutted I guess that she was only kissing me because she was intoxicated, but I guess as soon as I build up the courage and actually ask her, I'll be able to all the time.
I turned and Theo punched me hard in the nose. I groaned as I held my bleeding face.
"Holy shit, Theo! What the fuck?" I gripped my nose and twisted it, setting it back in place as it stopped bleeding and mended itself. Oh, didn't I say? He broke my nose. Thank God for our super healing speeds or that would have been bleeding for ages.
"That was for doing that to her when she was drunk. Is that what you do? You pour alcohol down a girl's throat, and see how far you can go with her? You fucking sicken me." He whispered angrily, trying to not wake Rachel who had fallen asleep.
I groaned and bent forward, bury my head in my hands. "I'm sorry!"
"Lay off him Theo, he didn't know what he was doing." Jared said as picked a sleeping Kim up. "When you kiss your imprint, everything else just sort of fades away, all rational thinking is out the window. He didn't know what he was doing any more than Alex." I grunted in agreement and nodded at Theo.
He rolled his eyes and was about to say something else but Alex walked up to him and hugged him.
"Do you love me Theo?" She whispered and he sighed.
"Yes, Alex. Why wouldn't I?" He sat her down on the space next on the sofa next to me as he pushed her hair from her face.
"Because Daddy doesn't love me, anymore." She whispered even quieter and I felt like my heart was shattering. Theo tensed and shook his head, his jaw clenched. She started playing with his cheek. "Will you ever forgive me Theo?" She was so quiet we barely even heard her. He was getting really angry now.
"You have nothing to be forgiven of." She laughed and poked his cheek.
"You no I do. Your cheeks and really funny." Her eyes widened as she turned to me her arms out. "Sleep?" I smiled at her and stood up and took her into my arms as she leaned into my chest.
Alex was so beautiful, and sweet. It hurt so much to see her in pain. I knew she wouldn't usually let me see her sad, but I knew she was. I don't think I'd be able to survive without her. Whenever I was without her, it felt like I was empty, cold, and heartless. It hurt my chest and my stomach felt like it was being stretched, but as soon as I saw her, everything just went away and I hit a new level of happiness, I didn't even know there was.
I looked at Theo questioningly after tucking a strand of fallen hair behind her ear. He just shook his head angrily and stormed out. I sighed and headed to Quil's, where he said we could sleep tonight, and laid on his couch with her. laid stoking her for a while before I fell asleep. I was wrong when I said I didn't think I'd survive without her; I knew I couldn't survive without her.
AN: Whoa, that soon enough for you lovely peoples? Two in one night? :L
So, I cut down the bit at the end about forgiving her and not loving her as I don't want her to sound like too sad, but there's definatly something coming from it. I know what I want to do, I just need an idea. Hope you liked the drunk Alex :L
I was planning on having this set during Breaking Dawn, but I'd be able to do it right, so this is going to me a little bit after. So their ages are all be out, sorry.
Thank you iPuppyDogFace!
starlight5577 thanks! Me too! So I thought I'd put that in ;) He does, the silly boy! Hmm, will he do it soon? Glad you're actually finding this funny :D
Thanks for reading, please review! Kimmmz x
