My Protector
I smiled at the students in my class, despite the fact that I was tired and my head was spinning and I missed Sam. I missed Sam a lot actually and I felt crazy for feeling that way, but it seemed like I couldn't get enough of him. He was like this tall, mysterious stranger that really could be quite dangerous, but he was drawing me in. Everything about him.
"Everybody cleanup for today! I'll see you all tomorrow and please remember that show and tell is next week!" My students all smiled and laughed at the words cleaning up, because they knew they could go home soon, and I was excited because then maybe I could finally distract myself from Sam.
Soon enough, I was out of the class and out of school and on my way to my house. It had started to rain and that wasn't a surprise. La Push and Forks seemed to be the rainiest place I've been in but I really didn't care. I loved the rain. The cold, however, was something I didn't really seem to be too fond of.
When I had actually gotten home, I was surprised to see a truck sitting outside of my house, parked and empty of passengers. I parked my car and got out and slowly made my way to the front steps of my house and peered in the truck. It was an older truck and it looked like it had a bit of room inside.
"Hello?" I called out, waiting for a response and looked around, seeing if anyone was around. It was strange to have a truck parked outside my house, especially since I hadn't known anyone with this particular truck.
"Hello?!" I was starting to get a little worried at the truck and jogged up the steps of my house and quickly unlocked the door. I opened it and turned and looked back at the truck with no occupants and shut the front door behind me, locking it soon after.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.;-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I was mad to the point of shifting. She wasn't supposed to be here. Leah was not supposed to follow me to my imprint's house. She was supposed to stay away from me and keep clear of my imprint, but here she was.
"Leave Leah." I tried to be as nice as I could to her, she was hurt and I understood that, but she couldn't be here.
"You left me for someone you haven't even known that long." I could tell that she was hurt, more hurt than I had realized but there was nothing I could do. There was nothing that could or would stop me from pursuing my imprint. That's just how it was supposed to be.
"Leah…if you only understood." I couldn't tell her about me imprinting. I couldn't tell her that I needed to be around Natalie and that I couldn't stop or help myself. I couldn't tell her the truth.
"Fuck you, Sam!" Leah hit me and pushed me back. I let her. I let her hit me and I let her push me. I wanted to help her feel better, but nothing would help her.
"I hate you!" Leah swore at me, glared at me, she told me she hated me. I didn't react. I tried not to, but I did wince. There was a time when I thought I could love Leah and I could get married to her, but now all my thoughts were on Natalie.
"I'm sorry Leah." She didn't listen. She walked away from me and got into her truck and sped off, almost hitting Natalie's car. She left a cloud of dust and I stood thee, watching her leave, torn between wanting to apologize for everything I couldn't say and staying with Natalie and spending all my thoughts and efforts on her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.;-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I was sitting in the same spot that I had now said was mine, with my cup of coffee sitting in front of me and a book in my other hand. I was so lost in my book, so lost in the story, I didn't hear the chair across from me scraping on the floor or the brush of a leg against my own. The only time I had snapped out of my own little world, was when I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat.
"Hello Natalie." I dropped my book and couldn't stop the blush from creeping onto my face at the sight of Sam. He was sitting across from me, short-cropped hair, tight grey shirt and a corny smile on his face.
"Sam! I didn't expect you here. I thought I'd scared you off." All attention was on Sam now, my book was closed and put away and my full attention was on Sam.
"You can't scare me off." I heard a joking tone, but there was an underlying tone that I couldn't make out. I just shrugged it off and took a swig of my coffee, to get some moisture back in my mouth and to try and calm my nerves.
"Well that's good then." I smiled at him and felt my mood get lighter and felt the anxiousness of not seeing Sam leave. I felt happier. It was strange and had confused me, but I brushed it off as me having a schoolgirl crush on Sam.
He was attractive there was no doubt about that and any woman would be a fool to not feel attracted to Sam. Any woman would be stupid or lying if she said she didn't want to jump his bones. I couldn't deny that I had almost felt the same way.
"I was wondering if you were doing anything Friday night. I wanted to take you somewhere if you weren't busy." I felt my face flush, bright red, and I couldn't stop the ear-splitting grin that made its way to my face. After not being able to get my thoughts from Sam, I convinced myself that I needed to take a chance and let him in.
"I would love to. That'd be great actually. What are we going to be doing?" Sam didn't respond to me. He just grinned, almost like that was the best news he had ever gotten before. He looked to happy it was almost overwhelming.
"I can't tell you. It's a surprise." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. I was determined to get him to tell me, one way or another.
"Please?" I tried asking nicely first, and if that wouldn't work, then I would try begging and then I would start to play dirty.
"No." Sam was smiling and his attitude of trying to be serious was cracking at the seams.
"Pretty please?" I stuck out my lip in a pout, and tried to look as cute as I possibly could. I tried to mimic and copy the few looks some of students had given me.
"You can't look at me like that. I may actually give in." I kept the look up and even batted my eyelashes. Sam leaned in and sucked in a breath and I thought he was going to say yes. I was mentally preparing to cheer at his defeat.
"No." Sam smiled and leaned back. I deflated and sat back in my chair and frowned. I thought he would've given in.
"I thought that would've worked." Sam chuckled and I felt warm, electricity shoot through my body. There was something wrong with me, I shouldn't be this attracted to this man. I shouldn't love his smile and his laugh and his eyes and the way he towered over me.
'Maybe you're actually letting yourself relax.'
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.;-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Okay so I forget how old Sam and Leah were when they were dating. And I know it may come up, but Leah and Sam were not arguing right outside the house, they were arguing off near the forest/in the forest, so Natalie wouldn't have heard.
Sorry for the long delay and sorry for any mistakes. There are some swears and I may up the rating just for future purposes. ;) ;)
