"Sup, Fuller?" Jamie asked slapping my butt. I just shrugged it off and kept walking as Jamie followed.

"Let me take you out," he spoke. I snorted.

"Come on babe, one date," he tried again.
"How about no," I replied. He grabbed my arm and made me drop my text book.

Then Embry showed up, "How about you let my girl go and I suggest you leave her alone." Jamie released my arm in an instant. Embry was close to him and I mean close. Embry started shaking and I was worried. Jamie was an average boy and had no chance against Embry or Embry's other self. I saw both Quil and Jared behind him

"I didn't mean any harm, man. Didn't know she was taken," He started to speak.

"Then it WON'T happen again. Correct?" Embry asked. Jamie nodded and left leaving me and my savoir, and his helpers alone in the hall. I gave Embry a moment to cool off.

"You okay?" I asked. As he nodded in reply, I ran up to him.

"Oh my, how ever will I re-pay you, my hero?" I mimicked. He grinned and leaned in pressing his lips against my forehead. Embry nodded the boys off and the left; leaving Embry's attention to me

"So, we going to stand here all day or are you taking me shopping?" I asked smiling.

"Oh freak! Sam put me on patrol, found out last period."

"I will be okay I can go on my own. I will be fine,"

"I feel horrible, are you sure?" He asked.

"Embry, you are protecting people, a real hero. I can go shopping on my own, I always have." I spoke putting my hands around his neck. A teacher walked out of her room and looked at us. I released my grasp and he reached for his wallet grabbing a $50, $10, and a $5.

"Here, buy something nice, and then I will make it up for you. Okay?" He spoke handing me the money.

"Embry I can't," I started but he refused to take no for an answer and reached around me. He placed his hand in my back pocket leaving the money.

"Thank you," I spoke and he gave me a sweet peck.

"I'll just 'run' home and you can drive your car," he spoke tossing me the keys. I smiled and we talked for a minute or two about nothing. Soon he sent me off and we parted our ways. I honestly hated going shopping by myself and needed someone to go with so I called Emily and invited her to come along.

"Oh, I would love to! Want me to come pick you up at school?" She asked.

"No, I'll pick you up."

"I'll be ready in 5,"she spoke then hung up.

~~Line Break ~~

"So, I have to ask. Have you two, you know?" Emily asked me. I looked at her and grinned shamelessly as my eyes popped out of my head.

"EMILY! No, we haven't 'you know'. We haven't even been on our first date" I exclaimed. It was fun hanging out with her. It felt like I had an older sister and I could tell her anything. She started to stare me down and I looked back at her blush still rising in my cheeks. I took a gulp of FRIZ and tried to get rid of the question.

She looked straight in to my eyes and, "you want to don't you?" Then at that moment FRIZ went everywhere. I had spit it out of my mouth chocked on it and stopped dead in my tracks.

"No," I protested and stammered.

"You are a REALLY bad liar." She spoke.

"Fine, only once, but it was in my dreams. It wasn't even that bad, he had taken me out for our 2 year anniversary and proposed, and then it just happened."

"I didn't need to know the dream, just that you had one," she cringed. I grinned after all wasn't she the one who brought it up. It isn't like I wanted to talk about it to begin with.

"Well, we have bought you three shirts, and four skinny jeans. Are you done being pampered princess?"

"Uh-huh," I nodded. I didn't tell her where the money had come from. I knew I wouldn't hear the end of it. We walked out as some guys started to whistle. Eww, that is just gross. It was really weird when it looked as if they started to follow us. Emily and I started to speed walk when we ran into a familiar face. Jacob, thank god!

"Hey Stephanie! Emily, could you help me pick out a small something for my sister?"

"Yeah, sure," She replied looking back as the freaks started to retreat.

"Jake I'm pretty sure you just saved Stephanie's and my butt. A couple of guys were following us," Emily panted.

"Just get her a small little card and let her choose, she is old enough, you know." I spoke.

"Your right, ya'll want me to walk you to your car?" He asked we nodded.

~~~Line Break ~~~

I had just settled down after shopping, my feet were killing me and I defiantly was not going to do anything any time soon. Well, I thought so, because as soon as I plopped down on the couch the phone rang. Wasn't my life just splendid?

"Hello?"I answered.

"Hey! Can I swing by?" A familiar voice spoke.

"Yeah!" I replied. Then the door bell rang, dang he was fast. I hung up the phone, smiling at the caller, who appeared right in front of me. I gave him a hug and he kissed my cheek, making me blush.

"How was shopping?" He asked.

"Fun, I invited Emily. We went everywhere! I got an outfit or two, and then…" I trailed off thinking about if I should tell him about the guys and our run into Jake.

"…then what?" He asked looking at me.

"Well, there were a couple of boys and they were whistling and started following us…"

"WHAT! Are you hurt? I swear if they hurt you…" he spoke angrily. I could feel him start to shake; I did not need him turning into his other self in my living room.

"Embry, I'm fine, you didn't let me finish. We ran into Jake and they left us alone. Calm down,"

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have let you go alone!" He was speaking with that tone that said he had calmed down but was still way beyond mad. The shaking stopped and that worry went away. All I needed to do now was get it off his mind.

"Can I model for you?" I spoke up.

"Yes!"He blurted then the blushing came; first on him, then me.

I changed into one of my outfits coming out. It was a simple little outfit; skinny jeans, a green halter top and some black wedges. I walked in to Embry passed out on the couch…. I'm going to be in so much trouble; I quickly ran up and jumped in his lap.

"What! What's wrong?" He jumped awake. I laughed and he shot me a glare I returned the favor by a smile. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a small peck.

"Well, let me see, get up, twirl, do your thing."

"What do I look like to you?" I asked, but I did as told. As soon as I got up his mouth dropped and basically had a starring contest with my body.

"Take a picture, puppy dog," I spoke laughing and he smiled back at me.

"Well? What do you think?" I asked. He got off the couch walking towards me and wrapped his arms around my neck; he started giving me sweet, little kisses.

"I'll take that as an 'I love them'," I whispered in between one of the kisses. He just nodded not wanting to speak, and honestly I didn't mind. It was there, in the middle of one small kiss, my mom decided to walk through the door; as her keys dropped you heard my dad in the back ground asking if my mom was okay. I begged her with my eyes that she wouldn't say anything, and she understood clearly.

"Yeah, I just forgot Embry was coming over today. I totally forgot to lay out enough food." She replied. Thank you lord for great moms!
