Chapter 14: The date

Okay, so it only took me about 3 hours to get my outfit picked out and an hour to get my hair just right. So my final product was my favourite pair of black skinny jeans and a nice dark green button up shirt, with my hair kind of flipping out and poking in all directions, and I had removed my nose stud. Not perfect, but it would have to do because I only had 30 minutes before Embry would get here.

I hoped we weren't going anywhere too fancy, because then I would be greatly under-dressed. But I had the feeling that Embry wasn't a real fancy guy, but hey, that could just be me.

Gosh, only 20 minutes. Okay, brushing my teeth for the fourth time in an hour, and still scared that my breath smelled bad. Where are those mints? Arg! There they are! I forgot that I put them in my jewelery box! Ha.

10 minuates. These next 10 minuates are going to be pure torture and are probably going to feel like 3 hours. Okay, so to distract myself I should get all my stuff that I need. Okay, shoes - check, purse - check, keys - check. Okay, so I am all ready to go.

Darn, my shoe laces are messed up. I should have enough time to fix them. Or not. Half way through tightening and re-tightening my second shoe, Embry pulls up to the curb.

Without even thinking I jump out of house, just stopping to make sure that I lock the door, and run across the front lawn. Dumb move. I trip and almost land flat on my face if not for 2 warm arms catching me and pulling me back up-right.

"Wow, Cat. Nice entrance." His smile was so beautiful.

"Uh, thanks. I am kind of excited. No one really ever asked me out back in Fort Erie." Why did I just blurt that out? Major kicking myself right now.

"Really. That's very hard to believe." I thought he was joking, but his face told me he was dead serious.

"Well, it's the truth. Anyways, where are we going?" I really wanted to change the subject.

"This little restaurant about an hour away, if that's okay with you?" A long car ride with just me and Embry, OF COURSE IT WAS OKAY!

"Yeah, that's fine with me." I smiled up at him as he held my door open for me. "Why, thank you."

"You are very, very welcome." He said, and I think that he was trying to be seductive. I laughed.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing, just never mind."

We arrived at a little restaurant that was called La Bella Italia. Hm, seems very quaint.

"So, how are you liking Forks?" Embry asked, trying to make small talk.

"Well, I am liking it alot more then I thought I would." I would never tell him that the reason I like it so much is because of him.

"Hm. That's good." He looked as if something was licking his leg and he was trying to not draw attention.

"So, I remember what Quil was saying that first day, at the gas station? Something about 'imprintin'?" It almost looked as if he cringed a bit at that.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, I was wondering what it is." He sighed at me.

"Well, it's this Quileute thing. It will probably creep you out though." Ha, nothing really creeps me out.

"Come on, do I look like someone who would be creep-ed out easily?" I rolled my eyes.

"Well, you asked for it."

Sorry about short chapter again, I am very busy this weekend and this is all I could get up.

Thanks people for constructive criticism!

So, as said, I think I need an editor, beta person thingy! Yay!

Anyone??
