Oh and Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to you Canadians out there :) lol, and to other places that have Thanksgiving this weekend, if there are any?

Anyway, I'm really really REALLY sorry and here's chapter 6 :)

Chap 6

Sophie's POV

I closed my eyes in content, sinking my head back into the arm of the sofa. We were both panting heavily as our body temperatures radiated between our naked bodies. Wrapping my arms around his neck I pulled his face to mine for a kiss.

He smiled slyly at me, obviously as pleased with what we'd just done as I was. Pressing his lips back to mine, he ran his hands down my sides, tickling my midsection.

I giggled and suppressed a moan. "Embry! Stop! Stop, Embry!"

Embry's POV

It had to be a bazillion degrees in Quil's house. I was boiling! Opening my eyes, I figured out why I was so stiff. All of us – Soph, Quil, and I – had all crashed on the couch. On the other side of the couch, Quil stretched out his arms.

"Good Morning, Sleeping Beauty!" he laughed.

"Dude, I'm so not in the mood. This couch is so uncomfy."

Quil smirked."Tell me about it. Next time Soph falls asleep we're just going to move her sleeping butt."

I nodded. "I'm with ya, bro." Childishly, I pulled at a few strands of her hair.

A giggle escaped her plump lips and a small smile formed.

"Wake up, Sleeping Ugly." I pulled her hair once more.

"Embry!" she mumbled. "Stop!"

Quil and I laughed. How she knew who was bugging her in her sleep bothered me. "Come on Soph, this is so uncomfortable!" This time I poked her.

"Stop, Embry!"

Laughing, Quil shot me a mischievous look and I immediately knew what he was thinking. "On three?"

He nodded. "One... Two... Three!"

We both stood up quickly and poor Sophie tumbled onto the floor. Her eyes snapped open. When her gaze met mine, she blushed a deep shade of scarlet. Then as if realization had hit her, she pouted.

"Thanks guys," she said sarcastically. Once she was on her feet, she gave us both a good slap across the face. "You guys are just the best friends ever! Thanks again..."

"Anytime Soph!" we replied in unison.

Glaring at us, she made her way into the kitchen. "You raised your son with little manners, I'm telling you, Ellie," we heard her complain to Quil's mom.

Ellie laughed. "I'm sure, Sophie. Good luck with them today, I'm off to work. Bye boys!"

We yelled our good byes then headed into the kitchen. Suddenly, my head felt light and I had to grasp the door frame to stop myself from falling.

"Embry!" Quil's voice raised an octave with worry. "Are you okay, man?"

Sophie's POV

"Embry!" I overheard Quil exclaim in a high-pitched voice. And he wondered why I made fun of him for being gay? "Are you okay, man?" His last words set an alarm off in my head and I bolted to the doorway between the kitchen and the living room.

Embry blinked a few times then forced a smile at us. "Yeah, I'm fine, guess I just stood up too fast."

"Oh you mean when you knocked me over?" I said coldly, heading back into the kitchen. I didn't buy it though. He had stood up like 5 minutes ago, he wouldn't just get dizzy now. I may not be a pro like my dad, but I do know some stuff about medical issues.

"Exactly." He laughed, Quil joined in, too, but I could tell, like me, he didn't believe Embry.

"So what's for breakfast?" I asked.

"You're the woman, aren't you supposed to cook?" Quil teased.

I stuck my tongue out at him. "This isn't Mesopotamia, you small minded boy." He was sort of right. Only because if they cooked we'd all die though... So I grabbed some Cinnamon Toast Crunch for us all and three bowls.

"Mesopa-what?" Quil looked majorly confused. While Embry looked really... hot? No, not as in looks – well that too – but he looked really flushed. As if he had a fever, or something. I let it go so I could make Quil look stupid.

"You know, those people who pretty much created civilized life." He still looked confused. "The people we're learning about in Ancient History." Still confused. "The Assyrians, you know the violent ones who were all war-obsessed, were one of Mesopotamia's civilizations..."

"Oh!"

"You're an idiot," Embry laughed, which was followed by a barking cough.

"You sure you're okay, Em?" I asked.

"I'm fine."

"'Cause you're starting to look like a tomato," Quil continued.

"I'm fine, guys," he said through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure?" I persisted, I knew he was lying. "Maybe you should go –"

"Would you shut the fuck up already Sophie?" He yelled, interrupting me. "I'm fine, stop acting like my mom!"

Hurt flashed through my eyes and I felt like I was going to cry. Embry never yelled at me like that. Or when he did, he had an actually reason to be mad. This was just ridiculous! Pressing my mouth into a straight line, I tried my best to look pissed and hide the hurt.

"Embry. Dude, calm down," Quil said, just as surprised as I was at Embry's outburst. "She was just concerned, you don't have to be such an asshole."

I just glared, what was I supposed to say?

"I-I-I'm sorry Sophie. I just –" I started to stomp away from him but he reached out after me. When he grabbed my arm, I retaliated away from his burning touch.

"Holy shit, Embry!" I screamed.

Looking confused, he whispered, "I'm so sorry, Soph. I don't know why I said that."

I shook my head. "No, not that, feel him Quil!"

Quil rolled his eyes. "For the last time, I'm. Not. Gay!"

It was my turn to roll my eyes. "No you idiot! Feel his skin. It's like it's on fire!"

He did as I said and did the same thing I had done. "Embry maybe you should go home. That's not just a fever, that's like, intense."

"I told you..." He faded out, then sighed. "Yeah, I guess I'll see you all later."

"I'll walk you home," I offered.

He shook his head, already on his way out. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone."

I cringed. "What's his problem?"

Shrugging, Quil put his arm around my shoulders. "I'm not sure. He's never really had a temper."

"I know," I said quietly.

"He didn't mean it, you know."

Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply. "I hope not."

"Come on, let's go to the beach. I think you left one of your bikinis here."

I nodded and after changing we headed out.

o.O

The beach was crowded. There had to be a bunch of people from Forks and Seattle because I didn't recognized any of them. Although I'm sure Quil would get quite acquainted with a few of them by the time we left. Especially if his glances at the girls in the matching pink bikinis were any indicator.

"If you want to leave them for me go ahead."

"Wow, no gay joke? You really are upset."

I must be in really bad shape if Quil is noticing something. He's worse than Jake when it comes to be oblivious. So I forced a smile and in my best teasing voice, announced, "You're so naive. The reason I didn't make fun of you is because I wanted to see if you'd notice. Apparently, you did."

I must be a damn good actress because he bought it. Obviously not enough to leave though... "They aren't that hot anyway. Plus maybe they'll think I'm with you and get jealous." He winked at me.

Laughing, I threw sand at him. "You have such an ego!"

"Says little Miss I-can-have-any-guy-in-school-like-that." He snapped his fingers to emphasize.

"Yeah, but I don't brag about it. I can if you want me to. Watch?" He groaned but I continue, glancing around the beach for guys that I knew, and had dated. "I went out with him." I pointed at Bruce, the school's star quarter-back. "I made-out with him. Oh him too, he was good at it. That guy with the abs over there, I went to a few dances with him and see that –"

He clamped his hand over my mouth. "Okay, I think I get it."

"See? Annoying, huh?"

Quil stood up, dusting the sand off his butt. "Well, if I'm such an annoyance, I'll just leave you to your lonesome."

"Okay! Have fun getting rejected!" I yelled after him, grinning from ear to ear.

He flipped me off as he strolled over to the two girls. Maybe, I should learn to keep my mouth shut. Sure, I wasn't in the mood to go socialize with everyone I see. But having my best friends around wouldn't hurt either.

"Aw, look who's all by herself!" exclaimed a familiar voice. Glancing up, I saw Jake approaching me.

"Dude!" I cheered happily, jumping up and hugging him. Bet ya ten bucks he was thinking along these lines: why didn't she hug me like this when I liked her?

"What's up with you? Did you win the lottery?"

Blushing, I retreated back to my beach towel. "No I haven't seen ya in awhile... that's all. Plus Quil deserted me for those girls over there." I pointed at him flirting with them. "And this morning the weirdest thing happened."

From the look on his face I could tell he was pondering on whether or not to go over their with Quil. "What was the weird thing?" he asked, after deciding to stay with me.

I shrugged. I didn't really want to rat Embry out, or worry Jake if this morning was just a misunderstanding. Then again, Embry was kind of out of line. "Embry totally spazzed at me and Quil. Well mostly me this morning. Like, he had this major fever and then all we did was ask if he was okay and he yelled... something really mean at me." I didn't feel like repeating what he said.

"What did he say?" Jake always ruins good moments.

"'Would you shut the fuck up already Sophie? I'm fine, stop acting like my mom!'"

Jake's mouth hung open. "Seriously? I mean I can imagine myself saying that to you, but not Embry."

I nodded. "That's what I was thinking. No offence... But honestly, I have no idea what was going on. I don't think he had any reason to be mad."

"Did something happen before you woke up?"

"No." I started drawing things in the sand with a stick. "I woke up a bit after he did and Quil said all that really happened was they tried to wake me up."

"Maybe he was having a Sophie moment."

"A what?" I cocked my head to the side, already knowing I wouldn't like the answer.

"You know, where one minute your joking and the next minute your bitching." He smiled at me innocently.

"You are a jerk!" I threw some sand at him, like I'd done to Quil earlier, but sadly I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"And you're a bitch."

Smirking, I said, "I guess we're even." My stomach growled and I remembered that after the incident Quil and I hadn't had breakfast. For once in what seemed like forever, I wanted food.

He stood up and held out his hand. "Come on, it's almost lunch. Let's go get some grub."

I accepted his hand. "Should we go get Quil?"

"Nah, I think he's quite satisfied with those girls over there." We headed for the beach's exit. "Our Dad's and Harry went fishing this morning; if they're at my house, I'm sure there's food ready."

"Let's go then!"

Kay, um, so, sorry again. And sorry if you hate it... I actually did work kinda hard on this. I'll try to have the next chapter up in the next two weeks, which I know sucks but I have to update my other stories too :) R&R
