Chapter 10

When I got out of the shower there was an outfit laying on my bed with a note from Embry.

This looked really good on you when you tried it on and I thought you should wear it today.

See you in an hour,

Your Wolf

I'm not really sure why he wants me to wear this one but at least it gave me more time because I didn't have to pick out clothes. The outfit he chose is a mossy green tank top that has crossing straps in the back. Paired a with some dark blue jean shorts with cream colored lace around the bottoms that I found. I got dressed and then found a pair of black sandals to go with it. Once I had done my hair I decided to put on a little bit of makeup. Just when I finished Embry appeared in the doorway to the bathroom. I don't think he knew I was ready to go at first. I hadn't turned around and he was staring at me like he did when he imprinted on me.

"Did you know that you don't have to just stare?"

He blushed some as I turned around to face him. I closed the few steps between us and stretched up on my tiptoes to kiss him this time. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back.

"What's in your hand?"

"A Friday morning gift for a beautiful girl."

"Friday morning gift?"

"Well, I didn't think I was allowed to buy a birthday gift so it's just a Friday gift."

"I thought that's what the kiss this morning was."

"Nope, the kiss was just because you are mine."

I blushed and he handed me the little box in his hand. I opened the box and inside was a beautiful bracelet. The bracelet it's self was made of braided leather and had three silver charms hanging from it. The three charms are the letters E and R with a heart in the middle of them.

"Embry did you make this?"

"Do you not like it?"

"No I don't like it, I love it."

All of the worry vanished from his face and he smiled as he helped me put it on. I let him drive my car to breakfast.

We didn't go anywhere special for breakfast which was good. We just went to the little dinner here I La Push. I had gone once before with Paul and Rachel. Embry wouldn't let me order. In fact he wouldn't even let me know what he ordered. He stepped up to the counter and talked to the waitress there. He did let me order my own coffee though.

"Embry who is going to eat all of this food?"

"It's not that much."

He had ordered us French toast, pancakes, waffles, multiple plates with eggs and toast, as well as bacon and sausage, and my favorite biscuits and gravy.

"There is enough food here for like six people."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Well, maybe you and three of your brothers."

"You eat a lot too."

"I do not eat that much and I'm allowed to eat sometimes."

We both fell into a fit of laughter. Most of the other people in the dinner where watching us.

"I guess you're right it is a lot of food."

About that time Hunter and his younger brother came in the door. John isn't a wolf but Hunter talks about him a lot while on patrol. I called them over to our table as I got up and moved to sit next to Embry instead of across from him.

"Riley did you let Embry order everything on the menu?"

"I don't know he wouldn't even let me see the menu. Besides he does what he wants."

"Hunter if you want to eat I suggest that you shut up and let Riley eat while her food is still hot."

I nudged Embry in the side and whispered be nice in his ear.

The rest of breakfast was pretty quiet. I felt bad but I really didn't know what to say to any of them at that point. I slightly considered getting but and hiding in the bathroom until Embry came to get me. I'm not sure why he seems so hostile towards Hunter today. I started to get up but Embry stopped me by grabbing my hand. When I looked over at him, he pulled me into his side.

"I have to head to work. John do you want a ride home or do you want to hang out with Riley and Embry?"

John looked back and forth between Embry and I for a moment and then got up to follow Hunter. I watched as they headed out the door.

"Are you grumpy today?"

"No, I'm not grumpy."

I was going to question him but I thought it best just to let it go.

"So, now that we have had breakfast what are we going to do?"

"Well, I'm not supposed to tell you this but I would rather Rachel be angry with me than you."

"Why would I be angry with you?"

"We have a bon fire to go to tonight for your birthday. It was my idea instead of the party that Rachel wanted to throw. Bon fires are a pack tradition. I figured that since it is something that everyone is used to doing it would take some off the attention away that you don't want. Besides you haven't been able to attend one yet."

"Alright I will go without argument for you."

We walked hand and hand out of the dinner.

"Good, because tomorrow night you have to do something else for me."

"I do?"

"Yes, you do."

"What would that be?"

"Get all dressed up in the dress you bought last Saturday, because the two of us and Paul and Rachel are going to dinner in Seattle."

"Why so far just for dinner?"

He laughed at me some.

"You didn't think it was that far when we had to get up super early to go for your classes every day."

"Yes I did. You missed my four hour long whining protest to my uncle about having to move that far."

"You whined about moving?"

"There was lots of whining about moving to La Push. Especially when I found out that my uncle wasn't coming with me."

"Well, now I'm offended."

"Hey, I had no idea that on my first day here I would meet the most amazing guy."

"I bet his name is Collin."

"Nope his name isn't Collin."

We continued to walk down the street.

"Is his name Brady?"

"No, silly his name is Embry and he is my imprint."

"He sounds like a jerk."

"I would have to say that is the biggest lie."

"Then what would you say he is?"

"A big lazy jerk."

"Take that back."

"Nope."

I let go of his hand and ran several feet away from him into the park that we were walking by. He ran after me and before I knew it he had caught up to me. He had me around the waist and was tickling me. I was laughing so much, probably more than I have in a long time. Then he picked me up and started to spin in circles.

"Embry, you are making me dizzy."

"Too bad you called me a big lazy jerk."

"Please put me down."

"Like this?"

He stopped spinning and held me upside down just inches above the ground.

"Not, upside down you'll make me sick."

He acted like he was going to drop me but caught me again. There was no way I was expecting what happened next. I was passed off to one of the other guys. I wasn't even sure who it was at first because I was still being held upside down. Although this time I had been put over their shoulder so that they had a hold of my legs.

"Sam put her down on her feet."

"I can't do that now Emily."

Sam no started to run around the park carrying me.

"Embry, come save me."

"Nope, no can do. I'm too lazy to come save you."

"Emily?"

"Sam, please put her down."

"Please?"

Sam set me down on my feet and I almost feel to the ground. He caught me though and didn't let me fall. I seriously didn't feel well at that point. I slowly sat down in the grass where I was standing. I closed my eyes but that made everything seem like it was still spinning.

"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea right after she ate."

"Riley are you going to be alright?"

"I'll be alright in a minute."

I sat in the grass a little while longer and then Emily helped me up.

Embry and I spent the rest of the day out side. We went for a run and then he took me fishing for a while. My dad and uncle used to talk about taking me but it just didn't work that way. It wasn't as boring as I thought it would be. Then we had lunch with Quil and Claire. Claire has a lot of energy for a 14 year old.
