Disclaimer: Hugs to all of you gorgeous people! I`m actually beginning to wonder if this story`s a dead end. I`m running out of ideas. Opinions?
Chapter 11
Jared`s POV
Kim is in heels.
My Kim is in heels.
MY KIMMY is in heels.
She looks beautiful.
Kim smiles nervously at me as I help her into Embry`s truck. She greets Embry and Leigh before fingering a curl, not meeting my eyes. Her blood red lips are drawn into a pout. I wrap an arm around her shoulders as Embry pulls onto the highway. I lower my head, brushing my nose against her temple. "You are beautiful."
Kimmy smiles shyly. "Thanks. You look pretty good too." She presses her head against my shoulder. Her hair is curled around her shoulders and her eye makeup navy blue.
"And what am I? Ugly as dirt!?" Embry demands in outrage, pressing a hand against his chest and looking at us in his review mirror. His skin appears black against his electric blue shirt.
"Yes." Leigh smirks at him. Embry shakes his head, pretending sadness. His eyes linger a moment longer on Leigh before turning back to the road.
"Who`s driving the rest of the gang?" Kim asks. I point a few miles behind us.
"Paul and Quil are driving everyone. Nathan and Luke went with Quil."
Embry`s POV
Kimberly cleans up nice.
Not like my Leigh. Well technically she`s not my girl but that`ll change if I have anything to say about it. She and I haven`t imprinted like the rest of the gang and quite frankly I don`t want to. I like looking at Leigh. I like being around her.
She`s sitting beside me in a blood red halter dress, the skirt ending above her knees. Silver bracelets jingle against her left wrist and her hair has been fluffed and hair sprayed to frame her face in a sexy style. Her eyes are coloured smoky black and her lips are coloured bright red to match her dress. She glances at me in confusion. I don't bother to hide my smirk, letting her see my attraction. Leigh frowns, quickly turning to talk to Kimberly and giving me a peek at her womanly attributes.
What? I`m a teenage guy.
Kim`s POV
As soon as I saw Jared I felt right. No I`m not one of those clingy girls that always wants to spend all her time with her boyfriend. I can`t help smiling when I`m with him. Jared makes me happy.
Why haven`t we kissed?
I frown, keeping my face lowered from Jared`s view. Why haven`t we... do I want him to? Yes. Should I wait for him to initiate the first kiss? I don`t know. Should I stop having conversations in my head? Yes I should.
"Something wrong Kimster?" I quickly grin at Leigh.
"Nah, the hairspray`s bugging me."
"Your hair looks cute down." Jared mumbles, his cheek resting on my crown. I can feel his heat seeping into my brain.
Maybe I shouldn`t wait for him.
Dinner was good. All the guys ate like there was no tomorrow, Quil accidently spilled his drink on Rachel`s skirt which resulted in Paul spazzing and Sam ordering him to cool off outside. "He`s still not used to transforming." Emily had whispered to me. Jared`s hand had wrapped tightly around mine, his eyes never leaving Paul`s pacing figure from outside the window. Lindsay flirted outrageously with the waiter and Nathan flicked pieces of his salad at Penny and Jake. We all returned in the same vehicles we came in.
"You go on ahead Embry. I`ll meet you at Sam`s." I hear Jared say as he escorts me out of the vehicle. He wraps an arm around my shoulder. "You get enough to eat tonight?" I laugh, nodding.
"Yeah. Do you guys always eat so much?"
Jared laughs, shrugging his shoulders sheepishly. "We`re healthy growing boys... with a little extra."
We`re on the porch, facing each other in front of the door. I look up at him, waiting. He watches me with warm eyes. He smiles again, releasing his hand from my shoulders. "I`ll see you in school tomorrow." He turns to leave.
Oh no you don`t.
I reach out and grasp the collar of his black button down shirt. With a tug I have him caught by surprise. His hands rest against my hips as I press myself against his body. "I`m sick of waiting." I mutter before I jump and press my lips against his.
...
He`s not responding.
He`s still.
Shit.
Shit. Shit. Shittyshitshit. I`ve blown it.
I pull away, feeling my heart hit the floor at his expressionless face.
"Sorry." I whisper, ducking my head. I pull the key outta my pocket only to have his large hands spinning me around and lifting me clear off the ground. I hold back a scream as he presses his cheek against mine.
"You have no idea how long I`ve wanted to touch you." And he presses his mouth against mine. Oh my gawd he is hot! And I`m not just talking about how sexy he is. I smile in the kiss, allowing his tongue to slip into my mouth. I wrap my legs around his waist, tilting my head to the side. Jared`s hand grips my hair tightly, his fingers massaging my scalp as his other hands slips under my shirt, his warm fingers leaving hot trails against my back. I run my fingers through his short hair, moaning softly. He growls in appreciation.
I never hear the door open.
"Eeew! Mom, Mithter Thane! Kimerly and Dared are kithing!!"
Oops.
See what I mean? I`m drawing a blank. HELP!
