Chapter 12
Truth is A Lie
After a couple of minutes, Embry came back with the hotdogs, hamburgers, french fries, and drinks for us to dig in. Embry sat down in front of me on the bed, with the tray in between us. I grunted to myself for the tray not allowing him to be next to me. I wanted him next to me, to at least have some type of contact to make me feel like I'm on top of the world. Embry was already on his 3rd hamburger, and smashing french fries in his mouth.
I grabbed a hot dog to eat and I put it in my mouth, but I felt eyes staring at me. I looked at Embry, who had his mouth hanging wide, with a burger in his hand. I pulled the hot dog away from my mouth, "What?" I asked him.
His cheeks began to darken, "Uhm, nothing." He said smirking and continuing eating. I raised my left eyebrow, and questioned again, "It didn't look like nothing. What is it?"
He shook his head and bit his top lip. Embry's usually shy, quiet, and laid back. He doesn't like fighting, and all that drama, as much as I don't. He was a dork just like me. All of this made me more attractive to him, so I was having a bit of trouble not jumping on his adorable self when he bit his lip.
"Please tell me Embry." I asked in a childish-tone. I pouted my bottom lip just like he does.
He chuckled, "Okay, okay." He ran his fingers through his black, scruffy hair. "You kind of looked like you were about to, you know." Then he stuck his tongue against the inside of his cheek in and out. I looked at him in shock.
"Oh my gosh! I never knew you were so perverted!" I said laughing. He joined me and said, "It's not my fault I still have raging hormones. You're the one that opened your mouth wide anyways." I slapped his arm, which hurt from the effort because I was still sore.
"So much for being innocent, sweet, Embry." It was hilarious to me that I was just thinking about how shy he was, and he completely changed my perspective.
"Hey you know what they say about the shy ones." He said in a cocky tone and winking at me. I did know what they said about the shy ones but I wanted him to say it.
"No, I don't. What do they say?"
"I don't know either." He said laughing and taking a bite of his hamburger. I rolled my eyes and giggled. "I bet you thought I was gonna say they're freak in the sheets."
"I'm not going to lie. I did." I told him truthfully and finally taking a bite of my hotdog.
We ate in silence occasionally looking at each other to give each other sincere smiles. The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It felt good just to be around him. That's all I needed.
I wasn't that hungry actually. Once I ate the hot dog I was satisfied with what I ate, because I had lost my appetite.
After he finished eating all the food, he put the plates and drinks on the shelf beside the bed. He covered his mouth, yawning into his hand. I felt so bad because he looked like he didn't sleep in days. He had dark bags under his eyes.
"You look so worn out. When was the last time you slept?" I asked him.
"The morning before you came over and left…" He said gently. He was restless because of me. I feel so horrible for causing him sleep deprivation. He needed to get some sleep.
"I feel so bad. You should really get some sleep."
"It's okay. It's not your fault. I was the one who decided to stay awake anyways."
"But I feel like it is, because I made everyone and especially you worry. I want you to get some rest."
"Kanti it's okay. Seriously, it is. I wanted to stay up, I couldn't sleep without knowing you were okay."
I sighed, "Well, since I'm okay now, can you please get some rest?" I inquired. I really wanted him to get some sleep. I was surprised he didn't just drop and knock out.
"Okay, but only under one condition." He said.
"What?"
"You have to sleep with me." He said smirking. My heart skipped a beat. What was he thinking about? What is he talking about? Is he crazy!? Having sex already? I'm a virgin and kind of want to keep it that way for a while. It's a bit too soon in our relationship.
He must have known exactly what was going through my mind because he said, "Not like that. Gosh, you're worse than me." He chuckled. "Will you take a nap with me?"
"I feel like you're asking me on a date or something." I giggled and then answered him, "Yeah, I will." I said yawning and crinkling my nose.
"I see I'm not the only one who's tired." He said coming to lie down next to me. His feet hung off the bed, because he was so tall. Once his arm brushed mine, I felt an electric current flow through me. My whole body was tingly in sensation to his touch. We lied facing each other. I smiled at him and shivered. He hugged my waist, bringing me close to him. I buried my face into his chest, the warmth of his body radiating on me, motivating me to sleep. He kissed my forehead and placed his chin on my head softly.
I felt him slightly dozing off, and his breathing become calmer. I lifted my face up, kissed his jaw delicately. He hugged me tighter and I returned to my spot. I felt myself drifting into slumber and thinking to myself that I could live like this forever.
I heard muffled voices, which sounded familiar to me. I was upset that someone had awoken me from peaceful sleep. I didn't open my eyes; I just wanted to stay in Embry's arms. There was a female voice and man's voice that sounded like ringing bells. My eyes fluttered open and I turned my face to see who was in the room. My vision was still blurred so I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand to see clearer.
It was Edward standing closer to the door, Carlisle, and behind him was someone hidden behind his figure. The person moved over to the left to stand next to him and to reveal themselves. To my completer utter shock, it was the last person who I thought would be here. It was my mother.
She had a suit on, which meant she had just come out from work. Her long black hair was tied back an in a bun. She wasn't that tall. She was about 5'3, but in her heels she was about 5'6. My mother worked at some business office in Port Angeles, I believe. I'm not completely sure, but when I would be home she would be answering phone calls most of the time anyways about files and what not.
Why is she here? What does she want from me? I don't want to speak to her. She's probably thinking wrong things about me and Embry. She always has to the thing so negative about things. She probably hates him right now.
Edward nodded to my mental thoughts. He must be reading my mother's mind. "My apologies for not coming sooner." Carlisle said genuinely.
"It's okay Carlisle. No need to explain, I understand." I said not looking anywhere but at my mother.
Carlisle grabbed his stethoscope that was on hanging on his, putting one of the buds in his ear and place the cold middle part thing on my chest. "Breathe in," I did as I was told. "Out."
I sat up so he could place it on my back. Embry's arms were still around my waist, "In and out." I inhaled and exhaled Carlisle said, "Okay. That's good." He said putting the stethoscope in his pocket. Then he wrote down on his clipboard.
I rested back onto the pillows and Embry shuffled a bit. He yawned loudly and flickered his eyes before opening them completely. He winced and covered his nose, but quickly recovered. Why did he do that? Did I stink? Edward was trying hard not to laugh and then shook his head.
Embry looked up to notice who was in the room and when he came to my mother, he looked at me in shock. He never met my mother, and this was a circumstance he surly never wanted to meet her in. He quickly sat up, but never letting go of my waist. We looked into each other's eyes and I gave him a reassuring smile that everything will be okay.
She was pissed off and I could tell because her eyes were pitching black. She kept looking back and forth at me and Embry. Carlisle began to speak once again.
"The results of your x-rays show that everything is fine. No broken bones or anything. You're just bruised up pretty badly. You have a concussion, so no sports or physical activities for quite sometime. You're lungs are in better shape, which I'm sure you noticed anyways because you pulled the oxygen tubes out." He chuckled lightly. I grinned at him but keeping my connection with my mother.
"Have you been feeling, nauseous, losing your appetite, sweaty, chilly but you have a fever, or you're body is low on temperature and you're muscles are hurting?" I nodded to his question. "Those are some symptoms of pneumonia, but I've taken care of all of that for you, so you don't have to worry. I have your medication for you all set and I will need you to make appointments with me so I can check up on you and see how you're doing weekly."
I was upset with the news about having pneumonia but Carlisle was a great doctor, especially since Nessie showed me that he has been living for more than a century. He must be the best there is, so I'm sure that I didn't need to worry.
"Do you have any questions?" he asked me. Why is my mom here? I thought to myself. "Can I leave today?"
"You're in good shape to leave, so yes. But you still need to get as much rest as you can." Carlisle and Edward spoke together, really fast and in low whispers. I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Carlisle turned to me, "Any more questions?" My mother spoke, which startled me because I haven't heard her voice in a while. "Can I have a moment to speak with my daughter?" Then she shot a dirty look at Embry, "Alone."
I turned to look at Embry, who didn't seem hurt by my mom's eyes shooting bullets at him. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked. I nodded. I had to do this by myself. Embry has done enough for me.
"I'll be in the living room, if anything." With that he simply kissed my forehead, and got up from the bed walking out behind Carlisle and Edward. My mom followed his every move making sure he knew exactly how she felt. She looked at me and I looked away.
Every emotion that we're feeling was bouncing off the walls. It was uncomfortable and awkward. I didn't want to be the first one to speak. My mom started pacing back and forth in front of the bed. Her heels clicking away with each step she took. She would stop, to speak but would return to pacing.
Finally she stopped and sighed in frustration, "I don't know what's wrong with you. Ever since we've moved here, you haven't acted anything like my daughter." I snapped my head at her direction.
"You haven't been much of a mother since we've moved either." I said hastily. She looked at me like I was mad.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Look at what you've gotten yourself into." She said pointing at everything around me. "We come here and you basically throw your life away with this music crap?"
"No mom! What the hell is wrong with you? I'm on fucking bed rest and you're over here coming to argue with me!" We stayed quiet for another minute until I spoke again. "You always told me to follow my dreams and music is apart of it."
"And I guess falling for a guy, sleeping with him, and fucking up your life is part of your dreams too right? He's going to screw you over and leave you behind! Just like Aaron did!" Those words cut me like a knife.
Now I was the one screaming at the top of my lungs, "You don't even know him! He's not going to hurt me like that! He's not Aaron! He's different and I know he won't hurt me!"
She scoffed loudly, "Sure. Then why the fuck are you here in a bed, basically hospitalized? Huh!?" She yelled at me. I didn't want to look at her. "I bet this all fucking happened because of him! So don't come crying to me when he does it again."
"It wasn't him who did this! I ran away and a man almost raped me! Did you hear me ma? I almost got raped! And you want to point fingers at Embry when he's the one that basically saved me!"
"I never think you would stoop to that level, just to cover for his ass. Oh and while you're fucking being his bitch, don't forget you're father just fucking died!" I was appalled by words. She didn't believe me at all. She really thought I would lie about such a serious topic. I looked at her like she was stupid with my mouth wide.
"You think I'm over dad dying! Fuck no! I always dream about dad every fucking night ma! I think about it being my fault." There was no chance of stopping the tears from coming down now. "I've thought of killing myself because of it and you're here thinking I forgot!"
"It sure as hell seems you've forgotten since you're wrapped up all in this bullshit!" She was pacing back and forth again.
"Why are you so mad and negative about me being happy? I've actually felt great for once, for being here, for just being alive! Why do you hate the fact that I've actually found someone and something I love? Just because you're upset doesn't mean you have to take my happiness away from me."
"The only reason I am is because you're father took that all away from me! I was never supposed to get pregnant with you at the age of 16, I was supposed to go to college, become successful, and have a great life. Your father and I weren't in love. Fuck! We were never in love. We were in love with the idea of it! It was just lust! I was stupid and young. We stayed together just because of you! Then we thought maybe this could work and we had you're sister but not even having you two helped us! We tried too many times. We knew we could never be. Every time I look at you, he comes in my head and all I want to do it forget him!"
I never knew that about my parents. Yes, there were arguments, but every couple goes through the ups and downs. Their love was a lie. Does that mean that her love for my sister and I was a lie all along as well? All this time the truth was a lie. She wanted to forget me too. I didn't want to talk to her any longer. It was unbearable. I stayed shut, trying to calm myself from what had just been laid out.
"I don't want you with him! I forbid you to be with him! You will do as you're told." She yelled at me.
I crossed my arms over my chest, trying to calm the pain. "No! I love Embry. I'm in love with him." I told her through my tears
"You don't know what love is!" She scolded at me and putting her hands on the bed.
As much as it would hurt me to say this, I had to. I didn't want her in my life anymore just like she wants my dad out of hers completely. I'll make it easier for her to forget my father, sister, and me, just to forget it all.
"Like you do…?" I said looking into her eyes.
She opened her mouth to speak, and her eyes began to water. She closed her mouth, grabbed her purse from on top of the bed, and left the room with a door slam. I heard her walk out the door and her car revved off.
I stared straight at the wall in front of me. I couldn't feel anything anymore. I was numb from everything.
Carlisle and Edward came into the room, shortly after she left. "Kanti is it okay if we get everything set so you can go?" Carlisle asked sincerely.
I couldn't speak. Yes it's okay. I thought. Edward projected my answer, "She said its fine." They started moving in their vampire speed, and unplugging everything. In a matter of 2 minutes tops they had everything packed. Carlisle spoke, "Kanti, Emily has your medication for you."
I nodded lightly still looking straight ahead. "We're here for you if you need anything." He said.
Edward spoke, "We just want to let you know that you're part of the Cullen family and we love you." I still couldn't speak. Thank you. It means a lot to me. They both hugged me and left.
I was left alone in the room for a few minutes. Emily came to the room quietly and sat down next to me. "I'm sorry Emily." my voice was hoarse as I spoke and still looking blankly at the wall.
"There's no need for you to be sorry honey." She said hugging me. "No, I should be. I'm sorry for causing this to happen in your home. I'm sorry for my mother's actions. I'm sorry for everything."
She hushed me. "It's okay sweetie. C'mon let's get you a towel so you can take a shower."
"Okay," I said softly and standing up from the bed.
"Where's Embry?" I asked, longing for his touch.
"He went to go run. He'll be back soon." She said as she grabbed a towel from the closet. "Oh okay." I said trying not to show that I wasn't sad.
He was most likely hurt from everything my mother said about him. I can't believe she said all of that. She should have told me she felt that way a while ago. I don't blame him for going running. He needed to think about everything as well. If it was destined for us to be then why did we have to go through this battle? No! Don't think like that! She gave me the towel, "I'm gonna get you some clothes. There's an extra toothbrush by the sink for you." She said going upstairs.
"Thanks." I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I looked at myself in the mirror as I brushed. My lips were swollen and I had small scratches on my face. I even had the mark of his hand on my left cheek. My eyes were still red from crying. I stripped off, and took of the bandages on my head. I turned the shower and put the water to hot. I didn't feel any of the drops against my skin.
I looked down my naked body and cringed. The cab driver's face popped in my head. I looked at all the bruises on my body, analyzing them and trying to connect them to how I got them with each hit. I didn't even notice I was crying until I felt my eyes sting. I let the water hit my face, allowing the droplets mend with my tears. After I cried some more in the shower, I finally got out when I thought I was all cried out.
I felt fresh and a little tiny bit better. Emily had put some of her clothes on the toilet seat so I could borrow them. I changed into her clothes and just let my hair loose, to cover the bruises on my arms.
I walked out to the living room, only Embry, Sam, and Emily were there. Embry looked like he was in deep thought, then he looked up at me. I was overjoyed that he was still here, willing to be with me after all that happened. He stood up and I ran to him, hugging him tightly. My legs were wrapped around his waist. He hugged me back kissing me on cheek.
"I'll never leave you." He whispered into my ear. I started crying as he said this. "Remember what I said about Always." He pulled me back so I could look at him and kissed me oh so tenderly on my lips.
He placed me down on the ground next to him. He intertwined his fingers with mine. Emily walked towards me and smiled. "You're like a little sister I never had. Actually more like a daughter. I just want to let you know, that if you need anything, we're here for you." Sam cam up behind her and put his arm around her waist.
"Yeah, we want to help you as much as possible. You're always welcomed to stay here." Sam added.
"Thanks guys. I really, really, appreciate it. Sorry about my mother today and stuff. She's just… I don't even know anymore." I shrugged and sighed.
"It's whatever. Don't take the blame for her actions." Sam said. I ran my fingers through my hair. "I know I shouldn't but I can't help it."
"Well, tomorrow's another day." Emily said changing the subject. Embry pretended to be offended, "It's also my birthday which I know you have something planned!" Embry said pointing at me. I giggled and rolled my eyes.
"He doesn't have a clue does he?" Emily asked chuckling. "None whatsoever." I replied.
"Yeah I ordered the guys from the pack not to say a word or think about it." Sam said.
"Uh guys I'm still here." He said waving his hands. We all looked at him like he was an oddball. Then we all laughed. "Well we should get going." Embry said.
He hugged Emily and shook hands with Sam. I hugged both of them goodbye. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." I said as Embry and I walked out the door. It was already dark outside. You could hear the crickets chirping and feel the zephyr swiftly blow by. The stars peppered all in the sky.
"Where are we going?" I asked as Embry held my hand, and pulling me with him.
"I don't know. I just wanted some time alone with you." He said smiling down at me. I smiled back at him.
"Well what do you want to do?" I questioned. I was still sore and tired from everything.
He thought for a minute. "Do you mind coming over my house?" He asked.
"No. But how are we going to get there?" He smirked and then said, "Just wait right here." He let go of my hand and walked into the woods. I crossed my arms and waited for him to return. The wolf, I had encountered with a month ago came towards me. The gray fur shined in the moonlight. He was beautiful. He had some black spots on his back.
"You're so beautiful," I said running my fingers through his fur. He barked. Then he bent down.
"Wait, hold on. Me riding on you is your idea of getting to you're house." I said making sure this is what he wanted me to do.
Embry nodded. "Okay, you're not going to let me fall right?" I said nervously. Embry shook his head. He cocked his head to his back, motioning me to get on. I got on him and put my arms around his neck. He was so warm and fluffy. He started running into the woods, and I squealed. It was so fast; I had to keep my eyes closed. I buried my head into the fur of its neck, waiting for us to reach his house.
Embry came to a halt and I opened my eyes slowly. We got there in less than 10 minutes. He bent down, allowing me to get off. I felt so dizzy. I wobbled a bit but Embry pushed me up with his snout.
I stood in front of him, he nodded at me and went around in a circle. He did it again, and then I noticed what he wanted me to do. He wanted me to turn around. "Oh! Oh! Turn around!"
He barked which I guess that he was laughing. I turned around and covered my eyes so I couldn't peak or anything. A few seconds past by, "Can I turn around now?" I felt two warm hands grip my shoulders. He turned me around but I still had my eyes covered. "You're not naked right?"
"No silly." He said chuckling. I put my hands down, "Good because I wouldn't know what I would do if you were."
"Is that so?" He said lifting his right eyebrow, holding my hand and walking into his house. "Yes it is so." I giggled.
We walked into the kitchen, "Mom I'm home!" He yelled. He saw a note on the fridge and read aloud, "Working double shift tonight. Food's in the microwave. Love, Mom." He sighed deeply.
"Are you okay?" I never really spoke to Embry's mom. It was usually a hi and bye thing because she's always working.
"Yeah it's nothing new, she's always working late anyways." He sighed. "Do you want ice cream?"
I nodded. He opened the freezer and took out chocolate ice cream. He grabbed two spoons and the ice cream bucket. "Now, let's go watch a movie." He walked to the living room with me following behind.
He turned on the dvd, putting a movie in. He sat down on the couch and I plopped down beside him. It was one of my favorite movies, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. I may be a teenager, but I still loved power rangers.
"I tried looking for your other favorite movies, but couldn't find them except for The Notebook. So I chose this one because I knew it would cheer you up." He said lifting off the top of the ice cream. "Thanks, I love it." I kissed him on the cheek.
He picked me up and sat me on his lap. He gave me my spoon and we both started digging into the ice cream as we watched the movie. It was cute that he had done this. It was cheering me up a bit even though I still feel guilty about when I enjoy myself because of my dad being dead.
We even knew some of the lines of the movie by heart. "I'm a frog," said Embry going along with Adam, who is the black ranger. "Yes, a frog. Like the one that you kiss, you get a handsome prince." I said speaking Dulcea's line. He laughed and his chest brushed against my arm shaking me. "It's too bad I'm a wolf." He said, "Because I want to turn into a prince." He did his infamous pout. I smirked at him, "Let's see if you can."
I kissed him lightly on his lips. My body shot up like a firecracker. He deepened the kiss, by slipping his tongue through my lips and I threw my arms around his neck. I gasped, my heart racing out of my body. He wrapped his arm gently around my waist trying not to hurt me. I ran my hand up his neck and tangled my fingers in his hair. Our lips were perfect together. He hummed in appreciation and I eventually pulled away to look at him, "Now you're my handsome prince." I said trying to regain my breath.
His eyes were sparkling and he had a goofy grin on his face. I blushed for my actions. I couldn't believe I just did that. I rested my head on his chest.
We watched the rest of the movie just laughing at the bloopers and funny lines they had. Embry wasn't all that shy around me so he would peck me on the lips when he could. Not that I mind, because I don't. It was adorable and innocent.
We sang all the songs in the movie, like Dreams by Van Halen. The credits came on and Trouble by Shampoo was playing. Embry went to kiss me but I stood up from his lap and stood in front of him. He opened his eyes in shock that I rejected him. "Uh oh!" I said singing along with the tune. "You're in trouble." He said with a mischievous grin. He stood up and I squealed running away from him.
I wasn't supposed to be running, but I didn't care at this moment. I ran around the living room, jumping over the pillow on the floor. I was losing my breath from laughing and running. "Na nana na na!" I said sticking my tongue out him like a little kid from the front of the couch. He was standing behind it.
He jumped over the couch, and I tried to run away, but he grabbed me by the waist "Gotcha!" he said. He picked me up, putting me over his shoulder. "Put me down!"
His laughter shook my whole body. "No way." I hit him on his back but it didn't seem to bother him. "Embry Call put me down this instant!"
"Not until you say 'Sorry Embry for tricking you and I swear to Bob I will never ever do that again for as long as Zordon lives."
I laughed loudly as the blood rushed to my head, "What kind of deal is that? Zordon almost died and you're betting on his life?"
"Say it." He simply said chuckling. I sighed loudly, "Fine. SORRY EMBRY FOR TRICKING YOU AND I SWEAR TO BOB I WILL NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN FOR AS LONG AS ZORDON LIVES!" I emphasized. He put me down and laughed at me.
"I didn't think you would give in so quickly."
I chuckled lightly, "Me either but the blood was rushing to my head and my body is starting to ache." I sat down on the couch, and couldn't help but drift back to my dispute with my mother. Embry sat next to me, and put his arm around me. I laid my head on his shoulder thinking about everything she said.
"What's wrong?" He asked lightly. "Nothing, just thinking," I softly replied.
"Does it have to do with your mom?" He asked looking down at me.
I sadly smiled at him, "Yeah. I feel guilty and bad for what happened. But I'm pissed at the same time. The whole thing about how about her and my father were never in love and her just staying with him because of me and my sister. It just makes me feel like she regrets ever having me, ya know?"
"Yeah, I understand. I kind of feel that way about my Dad…" He said quietly, looking away. Embry never really told me about his dad. I never asked because I thought it would be too much of a sensitive topic.
He started to speak again, "I know I don't really talk about him but I feel like I can with you." He sweetly smiled at me.
He got serious again, "I don't know anything about him because my mom won't bother telling me. I asked once when I was younger, and she got mad so I never bothered asking again."
"Do you think about him a lot?" I was curious to know how he felt. I wanted him to be open just like I am with him.
"When I was younger I did and when I changed into a wolf, I really did because my mom isn't from this tribe. So, it meant that my father was of the Quileute tribe. Another thing is that he might be the father of someone in the pack…"
I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to say anything wrong. I thought for a few seconds gathering my thoughts. "How do they feel about it?" I asked.
"You mean the pack?" He asked rhetorically. "Well they kind of just avoid it, which I don't mind because it causes a lot of tension between us."
"Do you want to find out who he is?"
"No, not anymore. If he really cared for me he would have revealed himself by now. A little part of me will always wonder who he is, but he hasn't been there for me the last 19 years of my life so why dwell on his absence anymore." I nodded understanding where he was coming from.
I was still curious about his feelings about some stuff. "How do you feel about my mom?"
He took a few minutes to think before he spoke. "I feel like she shouldn't have acted the way she did today."
"No, that's not what I meant." I turned my body to face his. "I mean about what she said about us." He grabbed my hands in his.
"I hate the fact that she would believe I would hurt you," He closed his eyes in frustration and opened them slowly, "and even think that I would lay a finger on you. That's not who I am or what I'm about." He started shaking a bit. I rubbed his hands gently trying to calm him down.
His eyes were big and black. They were filled with sadness, "I hate that she won't even give me a chance to prove to her who I am. I want to show her how much I love you. I'm pissed she's made you feel this way, and I feel like it's my fault because I'm part of your life, and I just want to let you know that you have the choice to be with me. You have options. I'll always be there for you even if you don't choose me. All I want is for you to be happy and I feel like I'm not giving you the happiness you deserve."
"No Embry, you've given me so much of it so don't think that you haven't. I don't want anybody else." I told him seriously. I was not going to tolerate him not thinking he was good enough for me.
"Are you sure? Because you have the choice, and I don't want you to regret it."
"Embry Call I choose you." I said poking him lightly on his chest. He lowered his head down and brought his lips to mine, giving me a gentle kiss. I snuggled back into his chest, just enjoying the moment I have with him. We sat in silence for a few minutes.
I yawned and stretched my arms out. I winced a little because of the soreness. "You okay?" Embry asked worried.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just tired." He picked me up bridal style. "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking you upstairs, you need as much rest as you need." He walked upstairs and walked into his room. He laid me down on his bed. He took off his shirt and threw it on the floor. His red brown skin glowed in the dark. His rippled abs were driving me insane. His black cropped scruffy hair just tangled up in natural way. I've seen him shirtless, but I'm still effected by it. He looked so hot, I couldn't help but sit up to look at him.
"Do I make you horny baby?" He said mocking Austin Powers. He threw himself on the bed and laid next to me. I shook my head at him and laughed as I laid back. "Go to sleep cornball." He laughed and then yawned loudly. We looked at each other as our eyes were drooping.
He pulled me closer to him and kissed me on my forhead. I rested my head on his bare chest. After a few minutes he started snoring lightly. I looked over at his alarm clock on his shelf. It blinked 12:00 a.m.
"Happy Birthday Embry." I whispered to him before closing my eyes.
It's not the best chapter I've written. I really enjoyed writing the argument. I think thats the best part of it. I listened to alot of slow and sad songs to write the argument. I even cried. That's how deep I get into the story. Hahaha. Well next chapter is his birthday and it will be much more uplifting.
I've given some hints on what he might get as gifts. I'm going to update sooner than i did with this chapter. Trust me i was frustrated with myself.
Thanks for being so patient and please review. I need to know if it was horrible, because I kinda feel like it is. Which i shouldn't because I should have confidence in it but Idk because I took so long to update it kinda brought me down. Anyways, REVIEW PLEASEEE!
Gracias!
Love, Kiki.
