Perfect

POV: Nadira

~*~

Taking 2 steps at a time, I flew up the stairs, sure I wanted to call Nessie but I was racing out of the living room to hide my red face. Jeez, I don't know what came over me! I was so happy and excited it just happened really, before I had thought about it my lips were on his, just for an instant, but long enough for me to feel the jolt of electricity run through me. Practically laughing out loud I thought about Embry's reaction, or better said the lack of a one, he froze on the spot, still chuckling I entered my room.

Phone, phone, where is my phone?! It's always like this, just when you need something it's…. Lifting my bag upside down to empty it, my phone fell out between the messy contents of my schoolbag. You've got to be kidding me, the battery's dead? Now I've gotta find the charger too! Rummaging through my drawers I finally spotted in and plugged in my phone, 'come on, come on, hurry up' I yelled mentally at my mobile.

When it's lights finally flickered on and I had entered my pin, an envelope was blinking in the corner. Probably Nessie, I hadn't talked to her since Sunday, which was really long for us,.26 messages and 53 missed calls, wow that's a lot, even for Nessie! Quickly I dialed her number and heard it ring once before hearing Nessie's voice.

"What took you so long?!" Nessie screamed.

"Yeez, I'm sorry! My battery was dead I didn't know you were trying to reach me, why didn't you call on the house phone?"

"This is waaaaay to private to be discussed on the house phone, Leah might be listening!"

"She wouldn't do that! Anyway spill it and fast, I've got a lot to tell you too!"

"Jake and I did it!" she whispered excited. Everything I wanted to tell Nessie floated to the back of my head.

"You didn't!"

"Yes we did, Saturday night, that's why I've been calling you since Sunday! Oh Nady, it was so great, he was so sweet!" she was so in love, it was ridiculous, which brought me back to a thought I had a while back.

"He imprinted on you, didn't he" it wasn't really a question, I just knew he did.

"How did you know?" Nessie sounded baffled.

"It's not that hard to figure out, besides, not even you would move that fast without the assurance of an imprint"

"You're right, he did. Please don't be mad that I didn't tell you?" she pleaded with me.

"No, I get it, Embry didn't want you to, right?" again, it wasn't an actual question, she answered me anyway.

"How did you get so insightful?" she asked me suspiciously.

"It's a long story, but I'm fairly certain Embry imprinted on me!" silence… "Nessie, you still there?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm here. You're gonna need to explain that" she said curiously

So I told everything that had happened yesterday and today, I told her about my father, how we expected him to come look for me. Nessie gasped and made angry sounds every once in a while, but kept listening, until I got to the part where I had asked Embry to stay with me through the night and invited him to sleep in my bed.

"Nadira, did you do that?!"

"Yeah, I didn't think really, I just wanted him to stay so bad, I was really upset"

Going on with my story, she giggled when I told her about what I did to a sleeping Embry when I woke up. The part where my father actually showed up and how he got past Leah was harder, it took me a lot of deep breaths to keep myself calm. Glad to be done with it we came to the point of discussion where Embry had told my father that I belonged with him and not with my father, how he had looked at me and kissed me on the forehead with so much love. Then combined it with everything that has happened in the last few months, I was surprised we didn't put it together sooner, but that's easy talking now. It's not so obvious when you're right in the middle of it, not able to take a step back and rationalize.

"I think you're right Nadira! But how did it end with your father?" she said the last word with disgust.

So continued telling her how I told him that he was nothing to me, that he had to go and never come back.

"Never have I talked like that to him, Embry gave me the strength to do it, knowing he would be there for me"

"So, is he gone now? For good?"

"Yeah, Tom threatened him after I was done and made him swear not to come back, that was smart of him, cause now I know for sure he won't come back"

"Why, he could have just lied?" Nessie didn't understand.

"No, honor means a lot in his culture, he can't go back on his word, it would dishonor him. The fact that I am no longer part of his life he can easily solve by disowning me, so that's different."

"I hope you are right"

"Oh my god! The reason I called you, was to tell you, I'm going to be a big sister, Leah and tom are having a baby!"

Nessie and I talked on the phone for at least an hour, theorizing about Embry and imprinting, Nessie reminiscing over her night with Jake, and about the baby that would arrive, well I didn't know when, but it would. Until Leah called me down to eat, everybody was still here, we all ate together like the big family that we were and we weren't even complete.

After dinner we sat down outside in the backyard, lighting a fire in the fire pit, I snuggled into Embry and he put his arm around me. Taylan and Logan left early, they had school tomorrow, I was excused for a day. Embry stayed, no one questioned him or me about it, he just seemed to belong.

"Uhm, is it ok if Embry stays over again tonight?" Embry tensed beside me and I felt his confused look on me, but I kept looking at Tom and Leah.

"I don't know Nadira" Tom said doubtfully.

"Please, since I don't have to go to school tomorrow, please"

"Well alright then, but on the sofa, just like last night" Leah said with a wink, that's when I realized she knew he slept in bed with me last night and would again tonight. Embry didn't ask about my request, I had never asked him to stay with me, but I knew he would anyway. We stayed outside talking and laughing for a long time, until I felt my eyes droop. Embry gathered me in his arms and stood with me in his arms, I mumbled a good night to Tom and Leah. My head was leaning onto his shoulder while he carried me up the stairs to my room, although I didn't remember getting there or laying down in bed.

~*~

When I woke up, moonlight was shining through the open curtains, I didn't mind them this time because it wasn't bothering me, it allowed me to actually see something. I pushed myself up to get a better look at the man lying next to me, just like last night he was wearing nothing but shorts.

I one the other hand was still wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday, all except for my shoes, which is probably the reason I woke up. Laying fully clothed in bed, with a wolf man to up the temperature even more, was bound to make a girl hot, no not like that, well that too, but I meant literally warm.

Quietly I got op and changed in the bathroom, when I was done I slid into bed again, Embry was still sleeping, a perfect opportunity for me to study his fine physique while he was blissfully unaware in a deep slumber. His lower half was covered by the sheets to leave his bare chest glistening in the moonlight. Just like on the morning we had woken up together, I couldn't fight the urge to touch him, so I did.

My hand caressing his cheek ever so gentle, not to wake him up, but the damage was done, I felt the heat creep up to my face, busted! He blinked his eyes a few times before opening them en looking up at me with confusion on his face.

He started talking "Nady, wh..." I silenced him by placing a finger on his lips, using his sleepiness to my advantage. The need to kiss him was so great that I had a hard time focusing, my heart was pounding and there was a distinct tingly feeling spreading throughout my belly. Giving into my desires I leaned forward and skimmed my lips over his, barely touching before I pulled back again, just far enough to see his response.

His eyes glazed over and he placed a warm hand on my cheek, then let it slide into my hair and pulled me to him. My lips touched his again, an electric current flowed through me, his mouth slowly moved against mine, slowly, gently perfectly. I sighed into his mouth, letting out the breath I had been holding subconsciously.

He flipped us over in one move, without breaking the kiss, moving himself on top of me supporting his weight on his elbows. My hands grabbed hold of his short hair and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. Moving together is a slow rhythm, he caught my bottom lip between his, we broke apart far too soon for my liking.

But I was in desperate need of oxygen, so I let him pull away, he let his head fall onto my shoulder, leaving it there. After a moment I felt the corners of his lips move upwards into a smile on my arm.

"You know don't you?" his voice was slightly muffled, because he still had his lips on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I kinda do" I said stroking his hair.

He lifted his head to meet my eyes with his "how?"

"On a certain level, I think I've known for a while now, but when you told my father that I belonged with you, it just clicked"

"Yeah, I figured you'd noticed that" he chuckled. He placed a sweet short kiss on my lips and moved to my side laying back down and pulled me with him.

"Did you imprint on me when you met me?" I asked him.

"Yeah, remember, one moment I was joking about your name, the next my eyes were locked onto yours" he chuckled.

"You freaked me out with that, did you know that?" wondering if he had any idea how much he had pissed me off with that.

"I figured that, some creepy old guy staring at you, bound to freak you out right" I heard him smile

"Oh yes, cause you're definitely a creepy old guy!" he tickled me on my side with the arm that was around me, so I was locked in his grip. We laid like that for a while, talking, laughing and holding each other, before the circles he was drawing on my back lulled me to sleep.

~*~

In the morning I woke because the warmth I had cuddled into the entire night was suddenly missing, I opened my eyes to see Embry looking around like he was searching something.

"What are you looking for?" his head whipped around at the sound of my voice.

"Oh sorry sweetie, I didn't want to wake you" quickly crawling onto my bed "I was looking for some pen and paper, to leave you a note." He hovered over me and kissed me, the tingling was there immediately, even if the contact had lasted no longer that a second.

"A note? Are you going somewhere?"

"Work, even though I'm on the late shift this week, I still have to get up now, if I don't want to be late" smiling wickedly I pulled his lips to mine and kissed him passionately, he responded by snaking his arms to my back and up into my hair, fisting his hands into it. Feeling his hands run through it was so heavenly it gave me goose bumps, so when he stopped and pulled back I whimpered in protest.

He was chuckling at me "that's not very nice Nady, trying to make me late?"

"Can't you just take a day off?" pouting my face, he was never able to tell me no like that.

"That's not fair!" he whined, but then his face brightened "sure I could take a day off, you better tell Leah not to count on Tom, he'll working over hours to cover for me"

"You're the one who's calling me unfair, what do you call this?" he knew I had given in.

"I'll come by tonight, I promise" kissing me again, but before I could grab onto him, he had broken the kiss and was walking through the door "bye Nadira".

Reluctantly I replied "bye Embry"

Laying in bed thinking about last days events, so frightened of my father, just like being a little girl again, so unnecessary considering the fact that I was living in the middle of a shape shifting wolf pack. Now I was glad he had come, I needed closure, after yelling at him I felt so much better, like a weight had lifted from my shoulders, I felt free.

Then I though back to last night, my first kiss ever, surely it hadn't been his first but that didn't matter to me, it had been perfect. Then my stomach made a loud noise, indicating that it was time for me to get up, suddenly guilt flashed through me, Embry had been late, with his appetite he must be starving by now.

Quickly I got showered and dressed, I had decided to make something for Embry, Tom and Jake to drop off at the garage. I would be doing it for Embry of course, but they could have some too, I hoped Leah had stayed home another day so she might help me.

The wolf women had started a catering business, they were always cooking anyway, also it was easier because they could bring their kids with them, rotating watching them. So they all cooked so well, Leah's meals were delicious, I hoped to be able to cook like that one day.

When I found Leah sitting in the kitchen, happiness washed over me and I wrapped my arms around shoulders standing behind her.

"Good morning Leah, how are you feeling" she patted my arm.

"Great, couldn't be better, and how is our girl doing today" she asked with a snicker.

Sitting down at one of the table chairs "what do you mean by that?"

"Oh nothing, just wondering why Embry looked so happy and rested, after a night on your sofa, can't be comfortable for him on that small thing"

"Leah, you're having way too much fun with this! You know that he slept in my bed and we both slept great, thank you very much!"

"I'm sure you did, how about that happy part? Something specific to report there?" she was still smiling and my face flushed.

"Uhm, well yeah, we kinda kissed"

"Ah, did you now" she added on a slightly more serious tone "that's great baby, you deserve to be happy"

"Thanks. Hey Leah, could you help me with something?"

~*~

With an enormous amount of fried chicken in my arms I was walking towards the garage, the first one to spot me was Jake.

"Are those for me? That's real sweet of you" he made a grab for the food.

"Nuh uh! Hands off Jake!"

"Ok ok. Embry, your girlfriend is here!" he cocked an eyebrow and smiled at me.

"Leave her be Jake!" Embry was strolling out in and dirty overall, with the top half down, wearing a sleeveless shirt instead, he looked hot!

"What's this now?" he sniffed the food and wrapped his arm around me, placing a kiss in my neck, shivers ran down my spine, quickly I stepped away from him to put the platter down.

"Well, I figured you'd be hungry, since you didn't have time to eat this morning" Jake let out whooping yells, until Tom appeared.

"O yeah, Leah said to make sure you would share, at least with Tom, because she helped me"

"What, none for me?!" Jake huffed.

"Sure, you can have whatever's left" Tom grinned.

"Well boys, enjoy!" kissing Embry on the cheek I headed back home. The guys were laughing and I heard Jake say "Embry, you don't deserve that man, she's way too good for you!"

Nessie was waiting for me when I got home, chatting with Leah in the kitchen. The three of us spend the whole afternoon talking, everything had changed so much I realized, now that both Nessie and me had found out that we were officially wolf girls.

We had asked Jake and Embry to eat at our place, Nessie and me would do the cooking with Leah giving us pointers. I decided that I should be cooking a lot more from now on, so Leah would have more time to rest, she would be tired all the time, first because of her pregnancy and second because she had returned to a human state.

Now that they were my family I vowed to myself that I would be taking care of them as much as they were taking care of me. As soon as the baby would be born I would help out with him or her too, I loved kids so that would not even be hard at all.

Dinner turned out great, Nessie and I had prepared a wonderful meal and we had such a good time between the six of us. Jake left to take Nessie home and I walked Embry to the door, Tom and Leah had agreed to let him spend the night sometimes, but not on school nights.

We were kissing passionately on the front porch, when Tom interrupted us, telling us it was time for Embry to get home. Tomorrow I would go to school again, which I didn't mind at all, because I would be spending the day with the hilarious twin wolves.

~*~

Embry dropped me off at school, we were locking lips again of course, now that we were officially together we couldn't stop kissing. With Embry being the first person I kissed, I had no idea that I would enjoy as much as I did. Or maybe Embry was just a really good kisser, I would never know what the reason was, since there never would be anyone else, all I knew is that I loved it.

Taylan was pounding on the car window.

"Get a room you two! Come on Nadira, school's starting!"

"Chill boys, I'm coming already!"

"Have fun little one" he placed his lips on my cheek and I jumped out the truck.

"So, tell us Nady, are you two an item now?" Logan said on a mocking tone.

"Oh shut it!" I threw both of my arms around them, one arm on each of their shoulders and we walked over to the school entrance.
