Chapter 14: Is It Possible?
(HPoV)
My head was spinning. I'd never really had a boyfriend ever. Then again no one ever effected my like this Embry did. I saw him talking to Dad and I smiled. At least they get along. I-for some reason- get super shy. Embry looks at me and I could just feel the blush coming on. I immediately look into the fire.
"I'm Embry by the way" he smiles this boyish smile that melts my heart. I feel my blush getting like a thousand shades darker.
"I'm Haley" I say softly finally getting enough courage to look him in the face. His eyes are the most prettiest shade of brown. I can see the remnants of the fire flicker on his eyes.
"Why am I drawn to you so much Em? I feel like I'm never going to ever need anyone else." I say sheepishly looking down at my millionth burnt marshmallow. He laughs and takes my stick flinging off the burn marshmallow and puts a new one on.
"It's called Imprinting. There's not a real scientific definition on why we imprint. But it's how we find our soul mates. I belong to you as you do to me. You feel that pull towards one another. It's unexplainable. So I assume you heard the legend?" He said smiling and handing me my marshmallow stick. I take a bite out of the side of it and smile.
"Yeah I did. Uhm... apparently the legend applies to me as well." I say slowly. "I've been shifting since I was 13 years old. I got really angry at my adopted parents and ended up shifting right in the forest. Took me two days to even shift back." I laugh as Embry looks at me incredulously. "What?" I ask him.
"You can phase? Like we can?" Yet I can still imprint on you?" He asked skeptically. Right at this moment Jake and Ness come talk to us hand in hand. Jake seeing the look on Embry's face says,
"She's Bella's first kid. With Paul. While she was human. So she's half shifter Em." Ness smiles at me and says to Embry,
" It's her human half that you imprinted on." She looks at me and says, "Jake Imprinted on me a long time ago. " I smile. I never expected any of this to happen. As I look at Embry it's like the world's gotten brighter for the first time ever. I get up and turn to Embry."Walk with me down on the beach?" I say smiling offering my hand to him. He blushes as he gets up and takes my hand. We spend a good portion of the night walking and talking. I see Dad with Rachel and He waves as they get up and go into the house. Embry and I sit against a downed log and watch the waves wash up and down the sand still just talking away. I rest my head on his shoulder and he just smiles. I never ever want to see that smile leave his face. I smile as he puts his blazer around my shoulders. I close my eyes and smile. So this is love. The last thing I remember is seeing his face smile at me as I close my eyes.
