Leah's point of view chapter 10
"I have to talk to you about something." I said seriously. He caught my sudden change is mood and tilted his head.
"What happened last night between you and Sam?" I asked and I realized he flinched when I said Sam's name.
"Nothing. It's not a huge deal Lee. Emily came back by herself all smug and I asked where you were. Then Sam snapped at me saying it wasn't any of my business and I had no right to care about you. And I snapped back at him. Nothing more than that." Embry said.
"Really? Because my brother said you two almost tore into each other? If it was no big deal then why didn't you tell me?" I asked raising my voice slightly.
"I didn't tell you because I didn't think it was a big deal. Sam and I were just tense and protective. Nothing more than that. Yeah it was really tense but I wasn't going to fight Sam. Especially since the wedding is so close and he's trying to stop phasing." Embry exhaled.
"Look I don't need to be protected. Actually I don't want to be protected. Especially from Sam or Emily. So if you can't understand that then let me out of this car." I snapped.
"Leah, I didn't think it would upset you like that." Embry said looking right at me hard.
"Yeah because I'm not a fucking baby. I can handle myself and all of you idiots can't get it through your thick heads. I don't want people acting possessive over me okay? Damn it, now it defiantly looks like there is something between us. Forget it, I'm going home." I yelled opening the car door to get out. I started walking back when I felt him grab my arm and push me against the side of the truck.
My heart exhilarated at his dominance once again. Our faces were just inches apart.
"Damn it Leah stop. Just fucking stop acting like a tough bitch all the time. I already know you are strong I know you can handle yourself, especially with dealing with Sam and Emily. I know you don't need someone to protect you. I just hated that smug look on Emily's face last night. I hated how Sam still acted how he had a claim over you. I know part of me wanted that claim but the other half wanted to protect my best friend. It was more than a fight over you like you were territory. It was before I kissed you last night. I understand you have stood on your own for the last several years but I want to be here for you." Embry growled slightly. His body right against mine. My tough bad ass exterior melted away. He let me think over his words before he broke the silence.
"We good now?" He asked. I just nodded but he didn't release his grip on me.
"Can I kiss you now?" He asked with a slight smile. My heart thudded against my chest and I couldn't help but nod.
His lips met mine aggressively but sweet. I felt butterflies fluttering around in my stomach, my brain went foggy and my heart swelled. I hated and loved what he could do to me. I hated that I let someone I again. Someone that could hurt me like Sam, even if it wasn't his fault. He could imprint at any time.
But I loved how we were best friends. It wasn't just a sexual, secret relationship. He was my best friend; the guy who made me laugh, who would listen as I rambled on for hours, who gave me chocolate when I was feeling sad. Also he made me feel butterflies in my stomach, I actually let him hold me, and I loved to kiss. The side that loved whatever the hell was between him and I always won. We slowly pulled away and he gave me a crooked smile.
"We should probably go now. We haven't even made it down your street and God only knows if anyone heard us." Embry said opening the car door for me. I thanked him and got in.
I didn't know what would happen. It scared the shit out of me. But part of me just wanted to be crazy and be with Embry.
2 WEEKS LATER_ Embry's point of view
I was playing Halo with Quill and Jake at Jake's new house; also Leah's house. When Sue and Billy got married they gave Billy's old house to Rachel and Paul, and moved the three younger kids to Sue's house since it was slightly bigger. Even though they were always patrolling and Jake was always at the Cullen's house for Nessie, they stayed here sometimes.
"Aren't you idiots a little old to be playing video games?" I heard a voice say. We all turned around and saw Leah heading over to the couch.
"No and besides Halo provides a complex challenge." Quill barked. Leah laughed and I smirked.
"I think the real challenge is you finding a girl." Leah smirked making me laugh.
"Hey I got one… technically… I just have to wait... eight more fucking years. Thanks for reminding me Leah. Besides I wouldn't expect you to understand the complexity of this game. After all, you are a girl." Quill said pressing all these buttons in a frantic motion before swearing. He died in the video game making Jake and I as backup have to start over as well. Jake smacked him on the back of the head.
"Wow maybe it isn't the game that's stupid. Maybe it's just you." Leah teased talking directly to Quil.
"Shut up Clearwater." Quill mumbled trying obviously to think of a better comeback. Quill was my best friend but he wasn't exactly the smartest wolf in the pack. I bit my lip to refrain from laughing.
"I'm always right Altera. Remember that and you won't sound so stupid." She said giving him a snobby smile.
"Not always Leah." I smirked referring to us.
"Bite me Call." She sassed back.
"Not a leech Lee." I laughed. Her face got slightly red as we argued playfully. I realized Jake and Quill were just watching us in shock. We weren't seriously fighting, it was playful.
"Fuck you." She snapped.
"Hey my body is all yours. If you want to fuck me, no one's stopping you." I chuckled but there was lust in my voice. I heard her heart rate pick up. She had no response.
"Wow Leah Clearwater has nothing to say." I teased.
"I would rather fuck Quill than fuck you." She snapped and went into the kitchen.
"Whoa dude. When did you get balls? Messing with Leah? Major props." Jake laughed. I just smiled and told them to keep playing. I went to 'get a drink'. I quickly wrapped my arms around her.
"So would you really rather fuck Quill?" I teased. She tried to move out of my arms but I held her tighter.
"You are super-hot when you argue and get pissed." I smirked. I saw a slight smile on her lips.
"You are so going to get payback." Leah sassed.
"Promise?" I smiled. Her heart was beating a little louder. She turned to leave the kitchen and I was about to go back to the living room.
"Hey Call." Leah said making me turn around. She kissed me hard and fast.
"I would much rather fuck you than Quill." She whispered, words were full of lust.
"Promise?" I smirked as she rolled her eyes and left.
