Chapter 9
Kim's point of view
It's Saturday evening and I'm getting ready for my date with Carlie and Katherine doing my hair and makeup. I could do it but they wanted to so I let them, but if it's over the top I'm redoing it. I have on the dark purple halter top, leather black pants, and hot pink three-inch heels on, so I'm just as tall as Jared.
"Alright I think we're done," Katherine says.
"What do you think?" Carlie asks and I look in the mirror. My makeup is smoky and my hair is pulled into a bun with some strands hanging around my face.
"I have to say I like it," I say smiling.
"Ya!" Carlie and Katherine cheer highfiving each other.
"I have to go but call me after the date, I need details!" Carlie says grabbing her bag.
"Will do, thanks," I say.
"Welcome, see ya," she says and leaves.
"You really look beautiful," Katherine says.
"It's all thanks to you," I say standing up and hugging her.
"No you're naturally beautiful," she says.
"You are too," I say.
"Well Jared should be here soon," she says.
"Yep, lets head downstairs," I say grabbing my purple clutch. I follow Katherine downstairs and into the living room. I take Avery from Josh and sit down with her on my lap.
"Who's a pretty girl?" I ask Avery. She points at me and I smile at her.
"No, you are silly girl," I say and she giggles. I hear howls and my eyes widen. I stand up and give Avery to Katherine. I leave my clutch on the couch and hurry outside. I phase instantly ripping my clothes. Dang it I really liked that shirt! I hear a frantic voice and run to it.
"Who's there?" the voice asks. I arrive to the spot and find a gray with black spots wolf.
"Embry, Embry Call?" I ask shocked.
"Yes, who are you and what has happened to me?" he asks.
"Don't worry," I say.
"What's up?" Sam asks.
"What happened?" Jared asks.
"Who is it?" Paul asks.
"Embry Call phased," I say.
"Embry Call!" the three boys asked shocked.
"Yes, now get over here," I say.
"Can I leave I have a date?" Jared asks.
"Sure just," I start but then smell something.
"LEECH!" I yell and snarls come out of our mouths.
"What's happening?" Embry asks scared.
"Sam, Paul, Jared go after it, I'll help Embry," I say.
"Got it," they say and leave.
"What's that stench!" Embry asks.
"It's a vampire," I say.
"What!" he asks.
"Let me explain," I say and do while making sure the guys and my imprint are okay.
After Embry learned everything and phased I lead him to Emily's and let her take over. I went to help with the leech but she got away, again, like always. Everyone headed home and I did too. I changed into black soccer shorts, a blue tank top, black converse, and a gray sweater that says "La Push Wolves". I'm in my room eating a sandwich listening to music. Katherine was upset that I ripped the clothes but understood. Well some first date! Stupid leech! A knock on my window shakes me from my thoughts. I walk to my window and open it revealing Jared!
"Jared, what are you doing here?" I ask shocked.
"Move, I'm coming up," he says. I move and he climbs up the side of the house into my room. He's in a black hoodie, black shorts, and white converse.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I want to apologize for not showing up, I got caught up at work," he says.
"It's okay, I understand," I say.
"No it's not okay, I was really looking forward to taking you out," he says.
"I was looking forward to it too, but I understand," I say.
"Kim can you forgive me?" he asks.
"Jared I'm not mad, of course I forgive you," I say and he smiles.
"Really?" he asks.
"Yes, I really do understand Jared," I say.
"I doubt it but can I make it up to you?" he asks.
"What do you have in mind?" I ask.
"Follow me," he says and jumps out my window landing perfectly on the ground. I look down at him and smile.
"One minute," I say and he nods. I open my door and see Katherine doing laundry.
"I'm going for a run," I say.
"Okay, be safe," she says.
"Always am," I say and shut my door. I go to the window and jump down. Jared gasps and I look at his shocked and worried look.
"Are you okay?" he asks.
"Fine, you?" I ask.
"Perfect," he says.
"Lead the way," I say and he smiles. We walk into the forest and don't talk, just enjoy the presence of one another.
