SPOV
We arrived at the La Push second beach faster than I had expected. I was surprised that the beach was still open, considering it was too cold to go swimming. Rachel, Paul, Embry and I made our way to bonfire site. The fire was already lit up and four logs were put around it.
I saw Kim sitting next to a guy who I presumed was Jared, her husband she told me about when we met. I also noticed Emily snuggling up to another one of those huge Quileute guys, probably Sam. Man, I need to drink whatever that's making them that beautiful!, I thought to myself as we walked towards the small group.
Each couple (well Embry aren't really considered a couple "officially" since we haven't been on our date yet but hey) took a log together. Embry sat close to me and I smiled up at his angelic face that was leaning towards me.
"You might get cold, and since I'm nice and toasty, I could warm you up," he said his voice husky and a little...seductive. I gulped as my heart hammered in my chest. He smirked as he leaned away a little bit, but not by a lot (thankfully!).
We roasted hot dogs and various other meats, as we talked endlessly about life in general.
"Ugh, I think this generation of kids is the worst, excluding Claire of course," Rachel said looking at Emily. I crinkled my forehead in curiosity.
"You know Claire Young?" I asked Emily. She nodded and said, "Ya she's my little cousin." My eyes widened as she digested this new piece of information.
"Wow, when they say small town they aren't kidding," I said, as the rest of laughed. "But isn't there a high school in La Push?" I asked, my curiosity never fails me. Emily laughed.
"She actually lived in Makah before moving here. She didn't really want to go to the school here so we enrolled her in Forks," I nodded at her, as I chewed on my hot dog.
At that moment, Embry scuttled closer to me. I've noticed him do this for the past half hour. I turned to look at him and that's when I realized I really didn't know anything about him.
"Embry," he turned his eyes from the fire to look at me, his eyes glistening. "Tell me about you," I said, proud at how confident I now feel around him, He makes me feel easy going, I smiled to myself as I waited for his response.
"What do you want to know?" I asked his face cracking into that immaculate smile I just adored.
"Well, I already know about your job, but I don't know about you, like your life," I mumbled looking down, embarrassed that I might have asked the wrong question.
He lifted my chin with his thumb, so I'll be able to look at him. He smiled warmly at me and nodded his head.
"Sure, no problem," he released his hand and turned to face the fire.
"I don't know who my dad is, my mom practically raised me even though she didn't do a really good job at it," he said somewhat darkly. I frowned and said, "I think she did a fine job." He looked sideways with his eyes flashing and a smirk on his face.
"Thank you; anyway she wasn't the best mom in the whole world. She left immediately when she saw I could take care of myself. I was fifteen, still too young for a mother to leave, but I managed." I put my hand on his shoulder to comfort him, but he really didn't need any comforting. Although I liked how my hand just melted into the curves of his muscles, like they were meant to fit. He looked up again and met my reassuring smile with a smile of his own.
"But enough about my life, tell me about where you grew up and went to school," he said eagerly like he really wanted to hear me say it.
"Alright," I laughed, "I was born, raised and educated in Seattle. It was my home, until I became sort of lonely, I guess. I really didn't fit into schools there though. My mom is a sweet heart though, she kept telling me that you'll fit somewhere like a puzzle piece." I looked at him to meet his confused expression.
"What?" I asked him, confusion displaying in my voice.
"You said your mom is...," he stated to stay but trailed off.
"Oh...I meant... was," I bit my lip, Oh shit! I was such a mess up! I started to cry at how I almost blew my cover. Embry pulled me close onto his lap as I looked around to see if any of the others were there. To my relief they had wandered away from the bonfire. I wrapped my arms around Embry's face, just as he had done around me, and cried myself on his shoulder.
I didn't know what I was exactly crying for. I thought about it: Maybe for losing my life, for not being able to see my family, for not being able to tell the person holding me the truth...until at last I stopped crying. Embry was still murmuring words of comfort as I wiped my tears away.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cry all over you,' I said my face flushed for embarrassment and crying.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, I shouldn't have said anything, it was rude of me to correct you like that, please forgive me," he said, I looked into his eyes and I saw them begging me. I whispered, "Yes." We sat there looking at each other until Embry couldn't take the pressure that surrounded us.
He leaned in and so did I. We met halfway and it seemed like reality shattered.
All there was in that moment was him and me and our kiss. We melted into each other, like-well like a puzzle piece. My hands found his shaggy, black hair and I gripped them for my dear life. His hands were around my waist, drawing me in closer. He licked his tongue over my bottom lip and I immediately parted my mouth for his tongue. We found each other's mouths and moaned into it. His moan made my stomach flutter. We kissed until I was out of breath, but Embry didn't let his lips leave my skin. He trailed kisses all the way down my neck, until it was near my ears did her leave for a second to say huskily, "you make me feel-'' he groaned as we found our way back to each other's mouth again. We finally broke apart when Embry was breathless too.
"That was...wow," he said, his voice deeper than I've ever heard it. I nodded and beamed when he gave me a radiant smile. We were still huddled together as the moon shone down on us.
"Are you warm now?" he asked me gently.
"Hmm..." I said stifling my head into the crook of his neck. "So am I," he said the husky tone returned. I giggled a very teenage giggle which got him to laugh and soon we were laughing like we didn't have a care in the world.
"Thank you," he finally said after a long time of silence under the moonlight.
"For what?" I asked him looking up into his dark brown eyes.
"For a lot of things, for what we did earlier, for agreeing to go out with me, for being here with me right now, if it was anyone else they would have left," I looked deeper into his eyes, and I knew what he was referring to.
"I'm not like anyone else," I said confidently into his glistening eyes. I smiled and he gently brushed my lips. The intensity was still there, but we decided to take things slow.
When Embry was talking about leaving, I was mad. Mad at his mom for leaving him and making him think that others who loved him would do the same. Wait a minute did I just say...love? Oh my gosh, I thought as I looked up into the face of the angel who was holding me, I am falling for him and hard. But I didn't mind, I was actually...content. The epiphany didn't make me nervous or scared it made me...whole.
"We better get you home," he said standing me up. I looked around for Rachel and Paul.
"But the others aren't here," I said, frowning. He laughed, and led me to Paul's car.
"Don't worry, I'll drop you off and come back for them. I was hesitant because I wanted to say bye to Rachel, but this would mean spending alone time with Embry, so I took his offered hand as I got into the passenger seat. He closed my door and rounded the car to get into the driver's seat.
"So what's your favourite song?" he asked me, the question dragged on and before we knew it we arrived at my house. He parked in the drive way and that was when I noticed something.
"How did you know where I lived?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes a little bit. He felt ashamed and he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.
"Well, I uh, asked Rachel," he said flinching slightly. I smiled and leaned in to peck his check. But he was turning his head towards me at the same time and we were locked into a passionate embrace. The spark that was always there seemed to ignite more. Embry pulled me over to his lap and before I knew what was going on, I was straddling him.
My mouth moved in harmony with his. We were liked a well oiled machine, okay that comparison is totally lacking but you get the picture. I was in tune with him and he was definitely in tune with me. We hardly noticed that we were swaying the car; I started to giggle when I noticed this.
"What's so funny, and don't tell me it's me kissing expertise," he said half groaning and laughing as we broke apart. I was still giggling as I shook my head.
"Nooo, the windows are...fogged up and we're shaking...the car," I choked up with laughter. He laughed with me and as we subsided we took to staring intensely at each other. I literally felt like melting under his gaze. My phone rang and I jumped when I realized I was still in his lap. It was a text from Pete.
P: Are you coming inside?
That's when I remembered Pet's car was in the driving way before we came. The heat rushed into my face and neck, as I made my way back to the passenger seat. Embry leaned in again, his spicy smell overwhelming me, and asked me if I was okay.
"Uh ya thank you," I said as I started to get out of the car. He grabbed my hand before I could step out.
"Sally, thanks for... everything," he said, his eyes till holding the same intensity.
"No, Embry, thank you," I said smiling. He pecked my lips one last time and let me go. I walked up the porch steps and looked back until I saw Embry disappear around the corner. I got in and closed the door. As I was taking off my jackets, I jumped when Pete came in front of me. I looked at him questioningly as his eyes held a hint of anger.
"Why were you late, it's almost 11," he told me, a little bit of the anger in his eyes showing in his voice.
"Geez, sorry dad, I didn't mean to make you upset," I laughed meekly as I followed him into the living room.
"You don't need to be sarcastic with me, you said you'll call or at least text me what time you would be coming home, but no, you take your sweet time not bothering to tell your guard, who is trying to protect you," he said his anger escalating. I began to get angry as well, not just that he was being a prick and the fact that he was right, but for the message I remembered he gave earlier. Was he spying on me? I thought as the anger began to boil.
"Well I'm sorry I didn't tell you but you shouldn't yell at me like that!" I said my voice getting higher as well.
"I won't be yelling at you if you followed my instructions instead sucking face with some guy you met a few days ago!" He yelled back. I froze, how did he know I met Embry a few days ago? Well, he was my bodyguard so to speak, he was probably keeping tabs on me but it was creepy thinking about it. I briskly turned around and went upstairs to my room, slamming the door.
Why was he acting so mad? It not that he's my real brother, I told myself. Ya but he does have a point; I should be caring about my safety and trying to make Pete's job easier. I sighed as I lay down in bed, making up an apology in my head.
Somebody said they saw you
the person you were kissing wasn't me
and I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself
I don't want to know
if you're playin' me
keep it on the low
Cuz my heart can't take it anymore
and if you're creepin'
Please don't let it show
Oooh baby, I don't want to know
PPOV
I came home earlier than expected and decided to do the laundry. When I was done mine, I noticed Sally didn't do hers so I took her basket and put the clothes into the wash. I blushed scarlet when a silky, pink bra came tumbling out of the pile and spilled into the floor.
After I had finished I sat down to read a book. By the time I was finished halfway through the book, it was past 10:30.
I stood up from the living room chair that I was reading in and walked towards the window when I heard an engine turn off.
I looked out to see Sally and the guy I saw her with earlier, in a car. Thanks to my police rank I was able to do a little research and find out a thing or two about this guy.
His name was Embry Call.
My blood started to boil when I saw him bring her into his lap and kiss her. I turned away, trying myself to control my anger. I realized I was digging my nails into the palm of my hand and I released them, taking in a deep breath.
I turned back to the window when I noticed she hasn't come in yet. My hands clenched into fists again, the windows were fogged up and car was swaying back and forth.
Ugh, that guy is taking advantage of her; I thought as I released my gaze from window, he didn't even meet her until like two days ago. Ya my research was thorough. I let my anger and confidence take control as I texted her to see if she was coming inside. I knew it would give away that I saw her making out with this guy but I didn't care. I wanted her to know I saw and I...I didn't know what I wanted exactly. Maybe a chance, an opportunity for...for her to...kiss me the way she kissed him. But I knew that day wouldn't come.
Sorry, I couldn't get the chapeter to oald up, I've done a lot of chapters! I'm really sorry, one day it stopped loading! I was so bumped out! Please feel free to comment on how you like how things are going with them!
