Chapter 4- We Shall: t.A.T.u.
Paul's P.O.V.
I was running my patrol and I saw a flash of grey in between the trees. I halted… I knew that fur. Before I new it, I was hit in my side and went flying against a tree. The tree fell down and I tried to catch my breath. When I looked up, I saw Embry, in wolf form, standing over me, his muzzle pulled back, showing his teeth, and growling at me. I got up and Embry and I started moving in a circle growling at each other.
Youshouldn'thavedonethat,Embry.I growled
Shutup!He snapped. Itoldyoutodoonething,stayawayfromAnna.Andyou'resothickheadedthatyoucan'tdojustthat!
She's my imprint!
I don't care!
Embry lunged at me and I dodged but his mouth found my tail. I yelped and bucked him off with my hind legs. I turned around and pounced on his back, biting his shoulder. He yelped and rolled over so I was pinned between his body and the ground. I bucked him off and he rolled upright, as did I. I lunged at him and bit his left leg. Right as we were about to charge at each other, Sam jumped in between us.
Enough!He Alpha ordered us. Youarepackmates,brothers,thehelliswrongwithyoutwo?
IwasjustpatrollingandEmbrycameandjumpedme.I stated, flatly.
Embry?
ItoldhimtostayawayfromAnnaandhewouldn'tlistentome!Growled Embry.
Paul? Why wouldn't you listen? Why won't you let Anna be?
Because… she's my imprint, Sam.
She's… Embry, you can't keep them apart forever.
Watchme!He growled as he took off.
Kristen's P.O.V.
Anna had gone home at, about, three this afternoon and I decided to practice the piano. I stopped playing and pushed the bench in after standing up. I walked downstairs and walked into the kitchen; I opened the cupboards and started grabbing stuff for cupcakes. From what Seth's told me, everybody is in love with my cupcakes at Emily's. I started preparing the batter; I had to put quadruple the amount of ingredients in because they all eat like a pack of wolves, I swear! After putting them in the oven I set the timer and sat at the harp in the corner of the living room. The door opened as I started playing and I continued anyways. Seth came bounding through the hallway and smiled when he saw me. Soon, his nose had made him drift into the kitchen and the timer went off. I bounded into the kitchen, pulled out the cupcakes, put more in, and smacked Seth's hands away from my batter bowl after setting the timer, again.
"Paws off, boy," I scolded. He pushed out his bottom lip and I shook my head, "Nuh-uh…"
He rolled his eyes, "Whatever…"
"Calm down, you'll get some tonight, at the bonfire."
I pulled out the frosting bags, the tips, frosting, and sprinkles as Seth sat at the table. He started taking the cupcakes out of the pan and I started putting the frosting into the bags. After we were both finished, I grabbed the orange frosting tube and Seth grabbed the blue one. We started frosting cupcakes and Seth smirked.
"What?" I asked.
"You should become a Chef," he smiled.
"Fuck you!"
He started laughing, "Nah… that's incest, I'm not into that."
"You're gross…"
"But you love me!"
"Keep telling yourself that."
I put down the orange and grabbed the pink.
"Hey, Kristen?" he started.
"Hmm?" I responded, lifting my head up but keeping my eyes on the cupcakes I was frosting.
"Are you going to the bonfire?"
"No…"
"Is it because of Em?"
I stopped what I was doing but kept my head down. I sighed deeply, "Yes… No? Maybe… I don't know!"
"You should…"
"Why?"
"Because, you make these spectacular deserts but drop them off and choose to remain anonymous."
"I am not anonymous!"
"You know what I mean… you hear, through others, that your treats are great but you have no desire to hear it for yourself. Plus… you'll get to see Embry shirtless and wet from cliff-diving!"
I blushed; he knew my weaknesses a little too well.
"Well… I do want to go swimming…" I smiled.
"There we go!" he smiled. "Oh, and, Kristen?"
"Yes?"
"Wear the green bikini."
"Why?"
"Green is Embry's favorite color."
I blushed and he laughed as I continued frosting.
Jared's P.O.V.
I walked down the road, aimlessly, and Paul came out of the woods and smacked me on the back.
"Sup, dude?" I asked.
"Nothin' much…" he answered, smiling.
"What's got you so chipper?"
"Anna…"
"Ah, you finally grew some balls and asked her out?"
"Yes, I did and fuck you, man! We're sneaking around behind Em's back."
"Of course, you are!"
Things were quiet and it was very uncomfortable. My mind started drifting but Paul snapped me back to reality.
"What's goin' on, Jared? Why are you so quiet?" he asked.
"Just thinking…" I responded.
"About what?"
"Kristen…"
"Emily, Seth, and Leah's cousin, Kristen?"
"Kristen Young, yeah…"
"What about her?"
"Well… I really wanna go out with her."
"Have you…"
"No…"
"Jare…"
"I know, I know!"
"She's in love with Embry, plus, what if you imprint?"
"I know, Paul…"
"Can't you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"The pull when she's around Embry."
"Yeah…"
"I think she's already returned and imprint but… he hasn't imprinted on her, yet."
"You think he will?"
"Yeah, I mean… the pull's there."
"Yeah… I still want to date her though."
"Why?"
"I don't know… I've had a crush on her since third grade. She's… beautiful… her creamy skin, her long hair, her curves, her glasses, her jaw dropping talent. I don't know… I just love everything about her. I want her, not just physically but emotionally, too."
"Wow… that's deep, man." He sighed. "Okay… don't tell Anna, but… Kristen has a crush on you too, Jare."
"Really?"
"Yeah… not as strong as Embry, of course, but still really strong; now, why do you want to date her now?"
"Well… I want to date her because I really, really, lie her and… maybe Embry will finally notice her. So, kind of, a win-win for both Kristen and I. You should help me."
"Why?"
"If Embry imprints on Kristen, then, his thoughts will be to occupied with her that you and Anna can sneak around easier."
"Hmm… you have a point. Alright, here's what you do…"
Kristen's P.O.V.
I slipped on a white tank top and my grey sweatpants and went to my bathroom. I put on water-proof mascara and eyeliner before slipping on my black flip-flops. I walked downstairs and grabbed the huge bag with the cupcakes in it; I walked out the back door and started walking down to the beach. I reached the spot where Emily was setting food on a picnic table and she smiled and waved when she saw me approaching. When I got there, I set the bag on the bench and Emily hugged me. She let me go and I set the cupcakes on the table and opened the lids. The smell of butter cream, sugar, and vanilla wafted up to my nose and I sighed… another perfect batch of cupcakes. Continued helping Emily and the smell of Pumpkin Spice assaulted my nose. I turned my head and saw Embry coming out of the forest, carrying wood for the bonfire later. The smell of coconut and pineapple came next and I saw Jared doing the same thing. Warmth started to pool in between my thighs as I watched them; the two guys I've had a crush on, forever, are in front of me, shirtless and wet! Every girl's fantasy… Jared saw me and came over to me.
"Hey, Kristen…" he smiled.
"Hey," I smiled back.
His face started turning red, "C-can you t-take a walk with me?"
I nodded and we started walking down the beach. It was a comfortable silence but I could tell that something was on his mind. We stopped walking and I took my flip-flops off and stepped into the waves. I smiled and sighed as I closed my eyes and the breeze combed through my hair. Jared walked up next to me and I smiled, softly, at him.
"Kristen?" he stood in front of me.
"Yes?" I responded.
"W-will you go out w-with m-me?"
My stomach did little flips and my heart hammered in my chest. "Y-yes…"
He smiled and picked me up, by my waist, and spun me around. He set me down; his smile could light up a room. He cradled my face in his hands as his smile faded a bit. Our breathing was labored…
"I'm going to kiss you, now…" he stated.
I nodded and he moved in closer. Our lips were a breath apart and I closed my eyes and gasped when they met but ended up sighing. I put my hands on his shoulders and he deepened the kiss, licking my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and I moaned as his tropical coconut and pineapple taste and smell started making me dizzy. He pulled away but rested his forehead on mine, our breathing still heavy.
"I've wanted to do that for a long time," he sighed.
"Me too…" I agreed.
He smiled, "You tasted like peppermint and chocolate."
"You taste like coconut and pineapple," I giggled.
Anna's P.O.V.
Embry was at work and I hopped in my car to go meet Paul, at his house. When I arrived, I knocked on his door and he opened it with a big smile on his face. He pulled me into his arms and a dark blush creeped up into my cheeks when I realized that he was shirtless. He pulled away, slightly, and his lips brushed against mine. My heartbeat quickened and I moaned, softly, as I tasted his cinnamon lips. The warm cinnamon taste and smell of his was delicious and I couldn't get enough. He pulled away and I licked my lips, still tasting him.
"You're so beautiful, Anna." He sighed.
I blushed; I love how he uses my nickname when he is serious and my full name when he's messing around. It's a nice change from the past. He took my hand and lead me inside, I was smiling, cheekily, behind him. He lead me into the dining room and there was a meal and the table was set for two.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear, "I know you don't eat meat, so, I mad Vegetable Lasagna."
I turned back around, wrapped my arms around his waist, and whispered, "Thank you…"
Author's Note: I changed Embry's mom's name to Tiffany, if you didn't notice, and I'm sorry that it took so long t update. Internet problems... Some changes have been made to chapter 2; the song has been changed. At least 20 reviews, please, or this story isbeing discontinued.
