EMBRY'S POV CH4
I was peacefully sleeping with Bella in my arms when I heard a knock on my door. Mom poked her head in whispering "Hey honey, I just wanted to let you guys know that dinner will be ready shortly. Also Charlie called to check on Bella so I invited him to dinner."She said with happy smile lighting up her youthful face.
"Thanks mom that was really nice of you, Bella will appreciate your thoughtfulness." I sighed while turning to look at Bella curled up to my side. God she is so beautiful with her long chestnut hair lying around her face. My angel had one arm laying across my stomach clutching my shirt tightly over my abs. Rolling slightly to my side I lifted my hand to sweep the curls from her eyes as she leaned into my hand. How that leech could l have left her is beyond me, she's perfect.
"Bella sweetheart, come on its time to wake up." I cooed into her ear. Bella groaned and snuggled deeper into my side.
"Baby come on dinner is almost ready; mom invited your dad and he's coming for dinner." I told her as she poked her lips out into a perfect pout.
"I don't want to wake up yet." Bella said pressing her face further into my chest. I chucked a little kissing her on the forehead giving her a slight nudge.
"Up and atom time to get up baby doll." I told her as I pulled on her to get up.
"Fine Embry but just so you know, I was having a good dream." Bella grumbled as she climbed out of bed and walked to the door of my room. "I'll meet you downstairs Embry, I've got to stop off at the bathroom first." Bella said walking out the door and down the hall to the bathroom.
I headed downstairs to find mom pulling her famous baked mac & cheese out of the oven. "Hey Em, so how did everything go at Sam's earlier?" Mom asked while adding butter to the mashed potatoes.
"I guess it went okay. I got into a fight with Paul because he called Bella a leech lover. Sam told me to just be her friend and treat this like I never imprinted. I guess I'll treat it just like a regular relationship. He also doesn't think that we should tell her about the imprint or wolves just yet." I sighed running my hands through my cropped jet black hair while leaning nervously on the door frame.
"Well honey I think that's good advice. I think that in a couple of months that she should be ready to learn about the wolves just not the imprint. I know that it will be hard on you to not love her romantically just yet, but it will be the best in the end." Mom said walking over to me cupping my check as the doorbell rang and she went to answer the door.
I listen closely hearing the muffled voices of my mom and Charlie in the foyer. "Good evening Charlie how were things at work? I hope you're hungry there is plenty of food."
"Hello Tess, work was ok; you know how it is same thing different day. How's Bells doing? You said that she was sleeping when I called."
"Well she seems to be doing alright, but Charlie there are a couple of things that I would like to discuss with you and Bella. Do not worry, it's not anything bad, but it may help Bella get better faster." Mom said and I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking knowing, my mom it could be anything and I'm usually pleasantly surprised by what it is.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of Bella coming down the stairs. Bella's big brown eyes looked like molten chocolate; they just seemed to pull me in, like I could swim in them forever. Slow down Embry she's not ready for that shit I told myself.
I walked over to her as she was getting ready to take the last step and she slipped. Instinctively I wrapped my arms around her waist to catch her before she hit the ground. Bella blushed tomato red staring up at me like she was looking at the sun, not being able to pull her eyes away. Charlie clearing his throat broke my gaze and I set Bella back on her feet as she was grew an even deeper shade of red.God her blush is so beautiful.
"Alright everyone to the table dinner is ready." Mom said with a smirk in her voice and a twinkle in her eyes.
We all sat at the table enjoying the potatoes, green beans, mac & cheese and rolls that mom had cooked. Charlie was a bit shocked at the amount of food mom had cooked. He asked mom if she was cooking Thanksgiving dinner early or something, causing mom to laugh while telling him I eat like that every day. There was idle chit chat between myself, Charlie, my mom but Bella barely talked. I couldn't stop myself from looking over at her from time to time. Bella was beautiful with her heartshaped face with just a hint of pink toneon her lips so kissable.The bottom lips pouted out a little causing me to wantto kiss her and never stop.The way her hand was wrapped around her fork scent my mind into overdrive with images Oh what that handcould do to my... OMG! Shit, Shit, Shit I really need to stop thinking like this she's not ready for that yet. Good god I need a cold shower.
"Bella I would like to talk with you and Charlie about something. I was thinking today about the things that could be done to help you. I already know that Embry will have no problems with this but it is up to you." Mom's voice pulled me out of my thoughts for which I was grateful.
"Bella I know that you only just started your senior year of high school, but I was wondering if you would like to transfer to La Push High for the remainder of the year." Bella just stared at my mom not knowing what to say. I took her hand to show her that I was there for her.
"Tess, are you sure this is best idea?" Charlie asked with a copious look on his face. "Charlie I help the young teen girls on the rez at the clinic. I believe that if she was out of the element of reminders of the heartbreak, then it help her heal faster. I've seen it with my own eyes several times." Mom said giving Charlie a hopeful look.
"Ok Tess if it will help Bells then I'm up for it, but it is up to her." Charlie said looking at Bella waiting to hear the answer. "I would love to go to La Push High, but I won't know anybody but Embry." Bella said giving my hand a light squeeze. I turned to Bella reached up with my free hand turning her to face me.
"Bells Sweetheart, Paul is in our grade, Jared is a junior, Jake and Quill are both sophomores and we all have lunch together. Even Jared's girlfriend Kim has the same lunch period. She is someone that you could become good friends with easily, you'd like her. We won't let anything happen to you, I promise."
Bella lunged at me wrapping her arms around me squeezing my shoulders tightly for a few minutes. "Ok since that is settled I will give the school a call in the morning, and then call you Charlie to let you know when she is to start.
There is only thing that I can see as a problem. She doesn't live on the rez., but, if they have a big issue with it she is welcome to stay here ,in the guest room of course." Mom said giving me a pointed look.
"Thank you Tess, for all your help." Charlie said with a resigned tone as he looked over at his daughter with so much worry in his eyes.
After dinner we all went to the living room to watch a movie. Mom wanted to watch 'Land of the Lost' while Charlie wanted to watch 'Transporter 3' so they had me and Bella pick between the two. Bella said that she didn't care and that she was just tired so I picked 'Land of the Lost'. During the movie Bella curled up to my side and I couldn't help but run my finger through her silky tresses. When the movie was over Bella and Charlie went home and I went to my room for the night. My bed just didn't feel right without Bella in it, so I jumped out my window, running to the woods, phasing then fly to Forks lying down in the woods behind Bella house to make sure that she was safe.
BELLA POV
After the movie was over I was awakened by Embry carrying me out to dad's cruiser. He put me in, fastened the seatbelt while placing a kiss to my forehead. "Have pleasant dreams sweetheart. Remember that if you need me I'm only a phone call away." He whispered nest to my ear. "I know thank you Embry, have a good night." I told him placing my hand on his warm cheek. Embry closed his eyes leaning into my hand and I could have sworn that I heard purring.
Dad climbed into the driver's seat and started the car headed for home. "So Bells, how are you feeling today?" "I'm doing ok dad. My heart still hurts but having Tess tell me that she went through the same thing was really comforting. She told me that she and Embry would always be there for me with everything and that I am family."
"Bells I'm glad that you are going to have the boys at the school to help you. It's going to be tough to be away from the friends that you have now, but nowadays it's not so hard to stay in touch." Dad said staring out the windshield. "I know dad, but it just seems like there is this force pulling me back to La Push and I don't know what to think of it."
"Well Bella. I think that now that your heart is free that the pull could be trying to lead you to you soul mate. Now you know that we don't have talks like this, but La Push has always seemed like home to me that is why I never wanted to move." We were pulling up to the house; Charlie parked the car and looked at me. Sighing he said "I love you Bella. You know that right?" "Yeah dad I know. I love you too." We got out of the car and Charlie went to the living room to see if he could catch what was left of whatever sports channel. I headed up to my room opening the window out of habit. When I realized it was open I started freaking out and the next thing I know Embry was jumping through my window and holding me tight until it was his time to leave. Embry hummed to me again until I was just about to sleep. God I wish I new what song he was humming. Embry told me good night and said that he wouldn't be far as I fell into a fitful sleep.
