surprises

I caught up with emily and was having a lot of fun at reservation. She usually asked me questions about India and how was it. We were making an indian meal for everyone. She asked me weather I have a boyfriend or not. The sudden change in topic made me uncomfortable. "well , no I hate all these things " I said "oh " she said "can I ask you why?" she continued. "I don't know , but it is stated bad in our culture its not good for a girl to be with a boy before wedding" I said "so that means you will marry first" a voice startled me I turned to see , it was embry I rolled my eyes and ignored him "sasha will you stir this I just come in a min or so" emily said "yeah sure " I said smiling "your smile is beautiful" embry said "thanks " I said he was being nice but I don't want to talk to him. "what are you both making?" he asked "you will get to know soon for now I can only tell its an indian dish" I said I was busy with cooking I did'nt realized when he came that near to me cause when I turned he was standing just behind me. That made my heart beat stop. I shook my head. I was a star. I was not allowed to fall in love. I turned back towards the stove. "will you pass some plates" I asked he then gave me some plates grinning, that made me feel annoyed. what was he thinking? I want to know. "will you please call everyone" I asked "you finished" he said with excitement. I nodded. he then went out and came with in a min. "its done. want some help" he said "no its fine" I said though it was not, he quickly grabbed the dish from my hand "give that" he said I glared at him annoyed as I was . he rolled his eyes. And we both went towards the living room holding the dishes and plates everyone was staring at us with a smile. That made me angry.

"I'm just coming" I said to emily and went out towards the woods. I can hear some foot steps following me. I turned to look, it was embry. why does'nt he understand I want to be alone! "what are you doing here?" he asked "will you please go?" I said ignoring his question. His face fell. I did'nt like that. "I just want to be alone" I said politely. "ok" he said but I can still hear his foot steps, anger build in me "why don't you leave me alone?, I want to be alone and by that I mean you to go and leave me the hell alone" I shouted. he seems to be angry "I can't " he said controling himself. "why?" I asked "because that freaking leech is still out there and I can't leave my imprint to be roaming around alone when she is in grave danger" he shouted back. Now that I totally forgot. I can feel blood drained out of my face. he was then near me holding me from my shoulder. "I will not let anyone hurt you" he said assuring me. "can I ask you one thing?" I said he nodded "why do you care about me?" I asked ,for a moment his face was tensed like he was deciding something "ok , I think its time now" he said after a moment.
