[ Side note: Hey, so I decided to throw in an Embry chapter because I felt there is a part of the story that needs to be included that Anna can't tell. So here it is. Like it don't like it? Let me know.]

Chapter 7

Embry Point of View

I walked into Anna's house and heard her in the kitchen. I heard the radio on and she was humming to it. It sounded beautiful. I walked into the kitchen and watched her for a bit, but she was so into making the food she didn't notice me. I walked up behind her a put my hands around her waist silently.

I felt her heart and body jump at my touch. I let out a low chuckle, "Embry! You scarred me!"

"Mhm, it made me smile." I smelled her hair it smelled so nice, like flowers and vanilla, the new scent of my life.

She turned to look at me, "Well I am cooking, so I go sit and I will bring you your omelet."

"Sounds good, but first…" I leaned down to get a kiss but before I knew what happened she wasn't there.

"Nope." She said going back to cooking.

"Ah come on, what was that for?" I whined, I can't help it, I need to feel her.

"Scarring me. Breakfast is almost done, go sit down and I will bring it to you." I Tried to pout and make a sad face, "Oh no, don't pout, I still won't kiss you."

"What if I said I was really sorry?" I leaned in close to her ear and tried to sound irresistible.

I could tell she was considering it but then she said, "No'p'e"

I grumbled and went to the table to wait for the food. It smelled so good. She went back to humming, I don't think she noticed that she did it, but it was comforting. I watched her every move. She was so beautiful. Her long blond hair was falling down her back and her body swayed a bit. I loved that she wasn't too short, I didn't have to slouch too much to kiss her or hold her hand, she just fit perfectly. I guess that is another reason she is my soul mate, my imprint.

I want to tell her about me, i don't want to keep anything from her. She hasn't asked too many questions, but should I wait until she does? Or should I tell her flat out? I need some advice. How come for everyone else its so easy? It hurts to not tell her, but of I tell her now, I could scare her…

She pulled me out of my thoughts by putting down a plate of food. I wolfed it down, I hadn't eaten all morning and I had to run patrol last night for a couple hours and I didn't have a lot of food at my house.

When we finish I saw her gazing at me, but not really seeing. Then she stood up and started to clear the plates.

"No, I'll do them."I said, she had done them a couple times before, it was my turn.

"Really? Thanks, I will go change." I frowned, I wanted her to stay with me.

"Okay, but I think you look fine."

"I have to wear a collared shirt and my hair has to be up, but thank you." That's right, my mother's dress code. Oh well, let her go.

"Anytime cutie." I said and I smiled at her. She blushed a little and came over and kissed me on the cheek. Y the time I turned around to kiss her more she was walking out of the room. Man, was I getting unlucky today.

Then I heard someone behind me I turned to see Shanny.

"Embry, " she started, "I know the legends. John told me, he told me about most of it. I know he wasn't supposed to, but he did." She folded her arms.

I looked at her at a loss of what to say. "Um, I, um, don't know what y-you're talking about."

"Yes you do. And I know that you have imprinted on her." She just looked at me. I couldn't speak.

"I am not going to tell her. I just want to tell you that I know, and I care about her very much. I don't want her hurt."

Hurt? I could never hurt her. "I- I, Shanny, I could never hurt Anna."

"I know, I just wanted to make sure. And Embry?"

"Yeah?" I said, kind of scared of what she would say next. She is 5ft tall and she has already outed my biggest secret. "Her parents would approve. Your welcome here anytime."

She smiled widely at me, "Thanks, really, it mean a lot." I was filled with a new type of happiness. I felt like my feet would never touch the ground again.

I finished up the dishes thinking about Anna. I thought about her green eyes and the way she smiled. I loved the way she laughed and blushed when we kissed. When I finished completely my angel herself was sitting in one of the chairs staring at me.

"Couldn't resist staring could you?" I laughed.

She got a big goofy grin on her face and said, "How could I not?"

"We should go or we're going to be late." I said, looking at the clock. My mom would be mad if I was late, again.

"Okay." She said. I watched her gather her things and say good bye to her grandmother.

"Have a good first day!" Shanny called.

"Bye Shanny, have a good day!" I said, and she smiled and nodded.

I walked behind her to my truck and before she could reach for the handle I trapped her with my arms.

"Don't think your getting away without a kiss…" I said, deepening my voice.

She looked up at me seductively "I would never dream." And her lips met mine half way.

"Good." I said after I pulled away, every time I kissed her I felt like I could fly and the world stopped spinning, I never wanted to stop.

When we got to the diner she looked over at me and smiled, "Thanks for the ride, are you going to pick me up?"

I laughed, "I don't think that will be a problem." She looked at me expecting an answer, "I work here too."

Her mouth opened wide, "What? Since when? Why didn't you say anything?"

"For a while now, I thought you would be surprised." I couldn't help but laugh at this. I knew she would freak out if she knew my mother was going to be her boss. She really hadn't given me much warning last night. I hope she is okay with it.

"I am, wow, cool." She still looked befuddled, "Well let's go!" she said finally and we got out and went into the diner.

I saw my mom behind the counter and could tell that she was getting prepared for the lunch crew to come in. She looked up at us when the door opened and said, "Oh good you're here. Embry, the dishes are piling up, can you go?"

"Yeah Mom, no prob." I smiled; I knew she would leave them for me since I told her I would be working today. Normally I work when I only need money, but now I just wanted to be near Anna. "I will see you around little lady." I said winking at Anna.

As I walked into the kitchen I could hear my mom giving Anna the jist of the job. I would give her some tips later because my mom was not very good at training.

As I was cleaning the first of many plates I heard Anna walk in the kitchen. She threw her purse on the hook and grabbed one of the aprons for the waitresses. She avoided my gaze and mumbled something under her breath and then left the kitchen.

Was she mad at me? I guess she could be. Ah, man, I should have told her before. Oh well, too late now.

"Embry! Hows it goin man!" I heard Ron come in the back door.

"Hey, its good. How are you?"

Ron was a fairly chubby guy who was one of the two cooks for the diner. HE was a nice guy, he also had a small crush on my mother. He has been trying to woo her since he started to work here 5 years back.

"Oh you know, same old same old."

"Was it busy this morning?" I asked, normally if it was busy in the morning it was busy during the day. It was a good fishing day too so I figured people would be coming into town for that.

"it was okay, but it will pick up this afternoon. Its such a nice day, people will be at the beach and all that."

"Yeah…" I said and went back to the dishes. I heard Ron get his apron back on and I heard Anna put an order on the order circle thing.

I finished the dishes that were left and decided to go clear some tables. I grabbed my bus pan and headed out. There really wasn't much to clear, and a few tables needed wiping. I watched Anna serve come customers. She looked calm and happy. She smiled at them and made some small talk. Sometimes when she was talking she would look over at me and smile.

It looks like Ron was right, because before long the place was filling up with hungry people and my mother and Anna were flitting around the diner like little humming birds and I had to go back in the kitchen and help cook.
