Let's Play Pretend Chapter 7: The Talk
Embry and I went on more and more dates. We were close to being boyfriend and girlfriend. With all the kissing that we were doing, I should hope that we were close to being in a relationship. But there was a couple things standing in our way: Sam, Sam and Sam.
It was actually nice how quick Sam took on acting like a father. By nice I mean it made me feel wanted. Anyway he would give me curfew's and if they weren't followed then I would get into trouble. He would make sure that I had 'Embry free days' to finish homework and to relax. He also said that he needed to have a talk with Embry before we could officially be a couple.
Embry and I were supposed to go out today but he said that we needed to talk. I was a little scared by what he meant when he said that, but I was also excited. I mean he could say that he wants to be a couple. Then again he could break up with me.
"Embry's here Natalie!" I smiled and ran down the stairs and hugged him. He hugged me back and spun me around a little. He was even more excited to see me. Of course that's because Sam made my 'Embry free days' two days in a row. I was having Embry withdrawal's.
"Ready to go?" I nodded and Embry grabbed my hand and led me out of the house. I was smiling to myself and I pushed all of those negative thoughts out of my head.
I got into his truck, buckled up and waited to go. Embry pulled out and he started driving down towards the beach. I took in all the surroundings and realised how much I actually loved it here. It was so green and peaceful and quiet.
"We're here." I smiled and jumped out of the truck before Embry even had it turned off. I smiled and looked around. We were at the spot that our first date was at. I smiled and Embry wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him.
"Let's go sit at the table and then we can talk." I nodded and started walking over to the table. I sat down and smiled at Embry who sat nervously beside me.
"Natalie? Have you ever heard of the old legends?" I shook my head and Embry sighed. He looked like he didn't want to have this conversation. At all.
"Our old legends say that we are apparently descendants from wolves." I looked at him and tried to process what he was saying.
"Wolves?" Embry nodded and I gave him a wierd look.
"There were these monsters, the 'Cold Ones'. They would hurt and kill the people on our lands. So there were these...wolf descendants that would track down the 'Cold Ones' and kill them." I didn't say anything. I sat there in silence and let him continue.
"There was this one things with our ancestors. It was called imprinting. Imprinting is like finding your soul mate. You find her and you love her. You want to be around her constantly and once you're away, you're constantly worrying if she'll be fine or not. You'll be her brother, lover, friend, protector. Whatever she needs you'll be that. You'll do whatever it takes to make her happy. Even if you aren't in love with her." I stared at him. I continued staring at him. A thousand things were running through my mind right now. The dream that I had. The dream of Embry and the wolves. This must be what he was talking about.
"I believe you Embry." He looked shocked, and well...shocked. He stared at me for a couple minutes and then he smiled widely.
"I imprinted on you. I love you and I want to be there for you. Even if it's a...friend or...brother. Or your boyfriend and of course your protector." Embry grimace when he said friend or brother which I giggled at. But when he said boyfriend and protector he got a serious look on his face. This was what he wanted to be. This is what would make be happy. It would make me happy.
"Do you want to be my boyfriend Embry." He didn't say anything. He just smiled and kissed me. He pulled me closer to him and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled away momentarily.
"I would love to be your boyfriend Natie." I smiled and went to kiss him again when I heard a cough. I pulled away when Sam was standing there giving Embry 'the look'.
"Did you tell her Embry?" Embry nodded and smiled down at me. Sam crossed his arms over his chest and smiled.
"Good. Now you have to patrol and you are late." Embry groaned and got off of the bench. He gave me a quick kiss and followed Sam into the bushes. I smiled and hopped off of the bench and decided that I was going to walk down the beach. Or at least I was until I got a phone call from Emily telling me to get home.
I quickly started walking home, while still having a big smile on my face. Of course I didn't realise just how long it took to walk home. Driving it took about five ten minutes. But walking it took like fifteen twenty minutes. Great. But eventually I made it. Yay! I walked into the house and looked around for Emily.
"Natalie? Is that you?" I said yeah and walked into the kitchen where Emily was cooking. She smiled when she saw me and she stopped cooking for a minute.
"Your lawyer called she wants you to call her back. She says that it's quite urgent." I nodded and Emily handed me the phone. I dialled the number and seemed to have waited forever until she picked up.
"Natalie! Dear! You called me back! Listen your sister is coming to visit you! She wants to see where you live and she's going to end up taking care of you instead of Emily and Sam! Isn't that great?!" I didn't say anything. I almost dropped the phone. I wanted to cry. She was coming to get me?! I didn't want her to!
"Natalie? Sweetie are you there?" I said yes and she laughed and started rambling on and on about my sister.
"Great! She'll be there tomorrow!" I said okay and hung up the phone. Emily gave me an odd look. I put the phone down on the table.
"Natalie? Are you okay?" I nodded and heard a loud noise. Then a whole bunch of loud voices. Sam and Embry came over to Emily and I. Embry went to give me a kiss and I turned my head.
"Natalie? What's wrong?" I looked away and started sniffling.
"My sisters coming here tomorrow to visit and then she's going to take me back to Los Angeles with her." I looked up at Embry and he looked like he was going to cry. He shook his head and then he started shaking himself. Sam made him go outside and Jared followed him. Everyone was quiet. Nobody dared to say a single word.
"She just decided now that she wants to take care of you?" I nodded and everyone still stayed silent.
"So you're leaving?" I didn't say anything. I just stared at the floor. Embry and Jared walked back in and I stared at the floor still.
"I don't want to leave but I doubt that I have a choice. I mean she's my sister and if she wants to take me, then I doubt I can do anything." Emily nodded and I started tearing up when Embry sat beside me and hugged me.
"I don't want to leave you Embry. I don't want to leave here. I want to stay." Embry nodded and sighed.
My sister was coming to get me and I didn't want to leave Embry, Emily and Sam. I want to stay here. But I couldn't.
