Special shout out to leydyan 22, for some really great ideas!

His soft, gentle warm lips against mine could only be described as magical. I had never in my life felt such an intense sense of pleasure, but as our lips continued to move in sync, I knew that this was probably one of the best moments of my life. Not even Sam, the one only other man that I had given my body and soul too had ever riled up such a passion in me.

And yet here I was, clinging to Embry as if my life depended on it. Who needed air? I didn't, because at this moment the last thing I wanted to do was stop.

"Leah? Leah?!" of course life doesn't necessarily always work in your favor, prime example my crappy as life, so of course the kiss ended and I would love to say that afterwards Embry and I held each other and skipped along to our happily ever after, but let's not forget my name is Leah Clearwater and it's obvious that any phrases consisting of happily-ever-after are not meant for me.

"Leah, are you okay? You seem … distracted"

Okay, Leah try to focus, you need this job if you want to keep your sanity … well at least what's left of it.

"Yeah, Anthony, I am fine"

He didn't believe me, "Are you sure? You can talk to me, you know."

I smiled at him, ever since Jackie told me about how he had helped her out in her time of need; I couldn't find the will to act like a bitch to him. "Yes, I am sure and thanks for the offer, but like I said I am fine"

"What about your boyfriend?" he asked while nodding his head towards Embry who was cleaning up a table looking on the verge of phasing.

I looked down, "He's not my boyfriend" I stated, regret evident in my voice.

The kiss I had shared with Embry had been amazing, so much better than I could have ever imagined. A part of me never wanted to stop, I wanted to kiss Embry forever if it was possible, but then there was the rational part of me yelling at me to stop kissing Embry wasn't right, he wasn't mine and he never would be.

So I ended the kiss and bolted before Embry even had a chance to recover, I practically ran to work trying my hardest to avoid him. I was embarrassed, ashamed and hurt. All were feelings brought upon myself; I didn't blame Embry, the blame was a hundred percent mine.

Sure, he initiated it, but I didn't stop him. Deep down, I know that I wanted it probably more than he did, so I led him on. I let him think that he and I could have something while I already knew that Embry and I could never be together. It wasn't in our cards, and as much as it hurt to push him away, I sincerely believed that it had to be done.

"He's not your boyfriend? Oh, are you two fighting?" Anthony asked as he poured tequila in a shot glass and slid it down the bar to a girl, who blushed furiously when Anthony winked at her.

"No, he is not and was never my boyfriend. And no we are not fighting" I answered him.

"Hey beautiful can I have a beer?" a man with a deep husky voice asked me as he sat down on a stool in front of me.

"Sure, what do you want?"

He smirked at me "What do you recommend?" he rested his elbows on the bar and watched me intently as I moved to get a cup for his beer.

"Well, I hear the national beer Victoria is really good"

"Ok, then I guess I will have that"

I laughed "Okay."

"So, what's your name, beautiful?"

"Leah"

"Leah" he whispered as I placed the cup of beer in front of him.

"Yeah"

"Well that's a very beautiful name for a very beautiful girl"

I chuckled, "Thanks"

"I am Caleb, it's very nice to meet you Leah" he said as he extended his hands towards me.

I nodded and grabbed his hand, I looked at his face and really looked at him, he was definitely a very handsome man, definitely older than me, late twenties I assumed, his skin was a nice caramel, he had black hair that was spiked up and he had very nice light brown eyes.

"It's nice to meet you too, Caleb. So are you from here?" I asked him suddenly intrigued.

He shook his head and took a sip of his beer "No, I am originally from Miami, but I am here because of my job"

"What do you do?"

He grinned "I am a pediatrician" he said proudly.

"Wow, that's great. You must love kids, then"

"I do" he nodded.

I loved kids too; I always dreamt of having some of my own, my ancestors didn't get the memo.

"So, what brings you to Nicaragua. You couldn't find a job in Miami?" I teased him.

He laughed "Actually I do have a job there. I am here to do some charity work. A lot of the locals don't have money to take their kids to the doctor, so we come and see them for free"

"That's really nice of you" I told him as I refilled his cup of beer.

He shrugged "I think every doctor should donate some of their time to help people who can't afford insurance and such."

"Yeah, I agree but there a lot of doctors that don't think like you"

He tilted the cup towards me "And that Leah are people who become doctors for the paychecks not because they love their job"

"How long are you here for?" I asked him, I don't know what it was about Caleb but they guy definitely had my attention.

He looked at me and smiled "I don't have a return date, at least not yet."

I spent the rest of the night serving drinks and talking to Caleb, while Embry continuously glared at me.

He wasn't hiding the fact that he was upset, and in ways I understood him. But yet, I couldn't stop talking to Caleb, it was kind of freaking me out how much I already liked him, I am not a people person and yet here I was actually being nice to someone that I had just met.

The night surprisingly passed by rather quickly, it was four in the morning and I was exhausted. I was cleaning up and talking to Caleb who still hadn't left.

I kept stealing glances at Embry; he was putting the stools on the table, and doing everything in his power to avoid my gaze.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Caleb asked me.

I looked up at him surprised, was it that obvious? "No, he's not. He's one of my best friends"

From the corner of my eye I noticed Embry's back tense up, he must have heard me.

Once, I was done cleaning, I went to the back room to look for Embry.

"Embry? Embry, where are you?" I shouted.

"Leah, what are you still doing here?" Anthony asked from behind me.

I turned around "I am looking for Embry, have you seen him?"

Anthony looked at me confused "Embry, left already."

"Oh." I said in shock, was he that mad at me?

"Let me close up and I can walk you home" he said turning around.

"Anthony, you don't have too. I will be fine"

"I don't care what you say Leah, there is no way that I am letting you walk by yourself especially at this time, all the drunken idiots are getting out of the bars"

"Fine" I conceded, I wasn't going to win so no point in fighting.

I waited for Anthony, he was locking up when I heard someone shout my name, I couldn't help but smiling as my eyes landed on Caleb, who was leaning against a car and smiling back at me.

"I saw your friend leave without you, so I figured you needed a ride"

Anthony chuckled behind me "Caleb, aren't you a charmer?" he teased.

I looked back at him confused "You two know each other?"

He grinned "That idiot right there" he pointed towards Caleb "Was my brother's best friend, I have known him practically my whole life"

"What a small world?" I breathed.

"Indeed it is" Anthony said beside me.

"Anthony, I can drive her home" Caleb offered.

"Uh, Caleb I just met you tonight, how do I know that you aren't a serial killer or something?"

"Well there is only one way to find out, let me drive you home"

Anthony pushed me forward "You can trust him, Lee."

I sighed, I was too tired to argue "Ok"

Caleb grinned and helped me into his car, "So, beautiful where do you live?"

I told him the directions to the house and in minutes we were there.

I got out of the car and Caleb followed me walking me all the way to the door "I am really glad that I met you today Leah"

I blushed "It was nice meeting you too" I murmured.

I was completely caught off guard, when I felt Caleb's arms wrap around me "I'll see you soon" he whispered in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

He let go and kissed my cheek "Sweet dreams Leah"

I watched him get in his car and drive away in a daze, what the hell was going on?

I walked inside the house, "I guess that the kiss meant nothing to you"

I had to fight back the scream that almost escaped my chest, Embry walked towards me, his arms crossed in front of his chest and beautiful face haunted by the scowl he was sporting.

"Em …"

He cut me off "I had to watch you flirt with him all night!" he yelled.

"Embry…"

"I don't get you Leah, seriously I don't. One minute you want me, and I know you do and then the next you're throwing yourself at some stranger"

Wait, what? "I was not throwing myself at anyone!" I shouted indignantly.

"Yes, you were I watched you do it!"

I clenched my fist, I was fighting the urge to phase and rip Embry's throat "Who the fuck do you think you are?! I don't answer to you Embry Call!"

He chuckled darkly "You know what, I don't care! You're not even worth it"

His words knocked the air out of me; he didn't seem bothered by my reaction. He just ignored me and walked inside his room.

My feet were frozen on the ground, I couldn't move, his words kept ringing in my head.

'You're not even worth it'

Funny thing is I knew that all along.
