I sighed, wrapping my arms around Embry's muscled torso, and resting my head on his, as usual, bare chest. We were sitting on his couch, watching Dirty Jobs on the discovery channel. He lived here with Jared, but Jared was out with Kim at the moment.
"Ah! Gross!" I squealed, squeezing my eyes shut. Embry just laughed at me and patted my head with the hand attached to the arm that was draped around my shoulders. He grabbed the remote control and flipped through the channels, landing on Lifetime. I don't know why it surprised me to see a couple kissing on Lifetime, but it did. I covered my eyes childishly. I felt him pry my hand off of my face and use two fingers to push my chin up, making me meet his gaze. I looked into his dark eyes, and panicked when I realized that our faces were moving closer.
When our faces were merely an inch apart, I protested, "Embry, I'm still not comfortable."
"Okay, I understand." He sighed, seemingly disappointed, as he looked away.
"I'm sorry, I-I-I uh... I've just had a bad experience with a guy and an almost-kiss, if that makes sense." I reached up, putting a hand on the side of his face, making him look down at me.
"What do you mean?" the look of genuine confusion on his face was so cute.
"I've only been on one date before, and... the guy tried to kiss me, but almost immediately I felt his tongue and it just freaked me out. I didn't want my first kiss to be like that." I looked up at him, willing him to understand. He just looked at me with the same confused look on his face. "I'm stupid, I know." I crossed my arms across my chest and stared at the people on the screen, who were still kissing. Wouldn't their brains die from lack of oxygen or something?
"No, you're not stupid, Meg." I looked up at his smiling face, and I don't know why, but I started straddling his lap.
What's gotten into me?
I moved closer to his face, glancing from his lips to his eyes, and back again. I felt his hand on my back, his thumb caressing the exposed skin where my shirt that had come up just a little. I tangled my hand in his long hair while his free hand traveled up to the side of my face. I tilted my head to the right and moved closer again. I glanced down at his lips and placed a hand on his warm chest. I went in for the kill, but I was interrupted when the front door busted open, causing me to jump and scramble off of Embry's lap. Jared and Kim walked in, smiled at us, and raced up the stairs. I shook my head and glanced over at Embry, who was grinning.
He leaned over to me and whispered in my ear, "Where were we?" I was absolutely horrified by what I had just done.
I stretched, "Actually, I'm kind of tired. I should get home." I stood up and grabbed my purse.
"Well, um, okay. I uh, I'll drive you home." He ran a hand through his hair and led me out the door, opening the passenger side door to his car for me. I was silent the whole ride home, content with watching the trees passing by. I kind of took my mind off of my horrible behavior at Embry's house.
I noticed the trees had stopped moving and I realized we were in my driveway. I stared at my house apprehensively for a moment until I felt Embry's unusually warm hand on mine.
"Do you want me to walk you to the door?" He asked, rubbing his thumb on the back of my hand. He looked sincerely concerned.
"Please," I whispered. He turned the corners of his mouth up slightly and patted my hand as he got out of the car. I was about to open my door, but it was yanked from my grasp. I gasped at Embry leaning down to me, taking my hand. Boy, was he fast! I felt my cheeks turn red as he helped me out of the car and walked me to the front porch. I felt like such a midget standing next to him. The cold air had no trouble getting throught my thin t-shirt and I shivered. He pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me. It was like sitting in front of a heater. I reached up, wrapping my arms around my neck and resting my cheek against his chest.
I sighed, "I'm sorry I'm not ready to kiss."
"Why are you apologizing?" he chuckled. "Do you think kissing is a big deal to me?"
"I don't know, I mean, it kind of seems like it. I'm just... I'm sorry." I stumbled through the sentence.
He placed a warm hand on my face and made me look at him. He looked perplexed, "Don't be. Do you always apologize for silly little things?"
"Yes." I smiled.
"Well don't."
"Okay." I sighed and stepped away from him. "I should get to bed. I'll see you sometime tomorrow." He nodded and jogged off to his car. I watched him drive away before going inside and up to my room, turning the television on. I flipped through the channels and landed on the news.
"A girl's body was found on the side of Moores Town Road in Port Angeles. Her fingers were mutilated, her face was nearly unrecognizable, and her legs were bound with a black bandanna." I gasped, turning the TV off and dropping the remote. Why did that story sound so familiar?
