Disclaimer: I own nothing Twilight related.
I've got all these great ideas so just bare with me as I formulalte the plan on how to get them into words. In the meantime leave me encouraging reviews!
After a week I had developed a routine. Once I had a hang of everything it wasn't so bad. I had four classes to worry about this semester. Unfortunately one of those was math, but that was an evil that could not be avoided. I also had some two boring classes, but my IAH class was very interesting. It was on European literature and we had two lecture days, as well as a recitation in a smaller group with one of the TA's.
Our first recitation had been canceled since we didn't have anything to discuss but this week it wasn't. Of course it was on Thursday, which was my most hectic day of the week. I swear college will give a girl a gray hair.
"Why are you in such a rush?" Addie asked as I threw my backpack over my shoulder and grabbed my keys.
"I've got a stupid recitation to go to and then I have psychology right after. See ya later!" I called as I ran out the door.
After my mad dash on my bike I found the building and ran inside. The classroom was easy to find and I was pleased to see that I wasn't late like a thought I was. In fact I was the only one there besides the TA sitting up at the desk. He looked up as I walked in and greeted me with a smile.
"What time does class start?"
"One fifty."
"Oh…I thought it was one thirty." I sighed as I took a seat.
"What's your name?" He asked.
I looked up at him and studied him. He was hot to put it simply. He was pretty much everything I would have lusted after pre Embry. Shaggy black hair, dark framed glasses, blue eyes, and dimples.
"Myra Daniels." I replied.
"I'm William Roberts, but you can call me Will." He smiled.
Wow, his teeth were white, and his smile was so striking that I was taken aback for a moment. Maybe this recitation wouldn't be so bad after all. Not only did I like the stuff we were reading, but now I got to learn from a good looking TA, everything seemed dandy.
"So what is your major?" He asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had surrounded us.
"English." I replied.
"Oh, then you'll like this class. I'm an English major too, with a concentration on European Lit." He explained. "This class will probably be pretty easy for you, but hopefully it won't become boring."
"I doubt that."
We started talking about our favorite books then. We found that we had similar tastes and we kept talking as the rest of the class filtered into the room one by one. At one forty nine Will finally stopped.
"You should join my book club." He stated. "See me after class."
"Book club?"
I glanced over at Addie. We were sitting at our desks, surfing the internet and I had just finished telling her about the book club Will had invited me to join.
"Yeah, the first meeting is tonight." I replied.
"Sounds like something right up your alley."
"I know, doesn't it?"
We both went back to our computers and the time flew by as the time for the book club meeting grew closer and closer. I was nervous; I was always awkward around new people. Sure I kinda knew Will, but I think the fact that he was my TA counted.
Will was there as well as two other guys when I arrived. Was this just a guy book club? They seemed friendly enough; they all greeted me with a smile, but I couldn't help but hope that I wouldn't be the only girl.
"I'm glad you came Myra." Will smiled. "We're just waiting on one more and we'll start."
Thankfully the person we waited for was a girl. She came running in with a panicked look on her face; her black hair messed up. She skidded to a halt as she took in the sight of the four of us seated in a circle. The guys were laughing at her, but I watched as she took a seat next to me.
"Now that you're here, we can introduce ourselves." Will began. "I'm Will"
The guy to his left introduced himself as Ethan, and the guy to Will's right introduced himself as Evan. It didn't take a genius to see that they were twins. They weren't identical, but they were pretty close to it. I introduced myself before we all turned our gazes on the girl.
"If Myra weren't new to the group I would totally blow you guys off." She stated then turned to me. "I'm Holly."
"Why were you late this time?" Ethan asked.
Holly sighed, "The best shower was taken, so I waited until it was free."
"I hate that." Evan agreed.
"So…I picked out our first book." Will said as he pulled something from his bag. He pulled out 'The Handmaid's Tale' and Holly groaned.
"I've heard about his book."
"Give it a chance, Holly." Will stated.
I grinned, "I have to read that for class soon; this will work out great."
Will beamed, "See! Someone likes my choice."
"Is this a feminist book?" Ethan questioned.
"Why don't you just read it and find out?"
After we made arrangements for our next meeting we all started to gather our things. The other three had already left by the time I was done zipping up my bag and Will walked over to me with a smile.
"So what do you think?" He asked.
"It has potential." I smiled.
"Hopefully it will go better than last year. Holly kept picking smut books."
I laughed; I too was known to engage in the occasional 'historical romance' that was better known as smut. But I wasn't about to tell him that. I had stopped reading those after I met Embry; there was no need. He was my own personal really buff guy without a shirt on. Just put some breeches on him and he would be perfect.
"So we each get to pick a book at least once right?" I questioned.
"Yes, but no smut."
I laughed, "Don't worry about that. Well, I better go."
"Alright, I'll see you in class."
I was half asleep when I heard a ruckus from Addie's bed. I watched as she stormed to the window and pulled the blinds aside. Oh no. The clock said 2 a.m. and there were people yelling and screaming outside.
"Shut the hell up! People have class tomorrow you douche bags!" She yelled.
If the people outside didn't wake up others on our floor, then surely her yelling did. I shook my head and rolled over towards the wall. Addie would probably be come to known as 'that girl that woke everyone up at 2 a.m.' or something like it.
"Good gravy, Addie." I grumbled.
"Everyone wants to do the same thing, but I just have the guts to actually do it." Addie replied as she crawled back into bed.
"I'm surprised they didn't yell back at you."
"Me too; they actually took off running."
"That's weird."
I waited for a response but instead I heard a soft snore. I chuckled and closed my own eyes. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't fall asleep as fast as Addie could; no matter how tired I was. I laid there for ten minutes before I finally sighed and pulled my cell phone out of the bed covers. Embry would probably be on patrol, so it wasn't like I was going to wake him up or anything.
"Hello?"
"Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah, but don't worry about it. What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I chuckled, "Addie just woke up our whole floor with her yelling out the window."
He laughed, "That sounds like her. Guess what?"
"What?"
"I'm coming to see you this weekend."
"For the whole weekend?"
"Yes; Quil said he would cover for me because Claire and her parents are going out of town."
"Aw, that was nice of him. Tell him thank you."
"You should probably try to sleep now, Myra. I know you have class tomorrow."
I sighed, "Alright, good night."
"Night."
Once again it was Thursday; my busiest day of the week and I had recitation again. Today was also the day that Embry was coming since I had no class on Friday. We hadn't seen each other for two weeks, and thankfully Addie had something to do tonight.
The day was mostly uneventful until recitation. Yet again I was the first there except for Will. He looked up at me and smiled. His smile still caught me off guard; it was so open and honest. I should probably slap myself for thinking this, but if I didn't have Embry…I would probably set my sights on Will.
"How are you today Myra?" He questioned.
"I'm good."
"You have any plans for the weekend?"
Should I tell him about my boyfriend? Wait, why do I even have to ask myself that question? He asked me what my plans are and there is absolutely no harm in telling him the truth.
"My boyfriend is coming to see me." I replied.
"That sounds better than my plans; I have to write a paper."
"Yeah, I need to do homework too." I sighed.
"So have you started to read yet?"
"Yeah, it's a little weird but I think I'm actually getting into it."
"Good."
People started to walk in then and ask him questions, effectively cutting off our conversation. I pulled my book out of my bag and started to read. I saw him smile at me from the corner of my eye, but I kept reading pretending I hadn't seen it.
Embry was sitting on my bed when I walked into my dorm room. Addie was gone, but she must have been here earlier to let him in. He waited until I put down my bag before he jumped down off the bed and pulled me into his arms. I happily breathed in his scent as I buried my head in his chest. He smelled like home; rain and forest.
"Are you sniffing me?" He chuckled.
"Yeah, do you have a problem with it?"
"No, I'll just smell you too."
He made a big show of smelling my hair and he started to cough dramatically.
"Shut up."
I pulled away and slapped his chest playfully. He grinned and pulled me back into his arms; his lips lowered down onto mine and I forgot everything. It amazed me how much his kisses left me reeling. Sometimes I couldn't even remember where we were, like right now, and others I forgot my own name.
My feet started to hurt from standing on my tip toes, so I jumped and wrapped my arms his waist as his arms tightened around my back. I moaned as he bit my lower lip, then traced his lips down my neck to my pulse point.
We probably could have stayed that way forever, but the sound of the door broke us apart. Addie came in with a sheepish grin.
"Sorry, I forgot something."
Embry lowered me back to the floor and we watched as Addie grabbed a book out of her desk and left the room with a little wave. Once she was gone I turned to Embry with a smile.
"My parents don't know you're here right?"
"Of course not."
"Good, but legitimately you can't stay more than two nights here."
"That's fine, I have to be back Saturday afternoon anyway." Embry replied. "Let's go raise some hell."
"That doesn't get me kicked out."
