Chapter 3: I still love him, does he feel the same?

I couldn't believe that Embry was actually asking me to sit with him. It would have been a dream come true if I didn't just hear what he had said about Rosalie, why didn't think of me like that.

I slowly sat down beside him but I couldn't look him in the face, not yet. Please just go away, please just leave go talk to Rose, please-

"So birthday girl what's up?" Embry calmly asked me. His voices startled me because I thought he would just get up and leave, I had no idea that he may even care about me.

I cleared my throat still not looking at him and was considering telling him the truth but because it's me I, well, didn't.

"Err...well...I...don't matter...it's nothing important" I mumbled so low that I didn't even me.

"Aww love, it is important if it's getting you down like this." He said sympathetically.

I looked up at him and saw that he was staring down at me with concern in his beautiful deep brown eyes. Huh, he might care AND he called me love!

"Embry seriously I'm ...I'm....I'm..." I had to stop there because looking at him and being so close I just kept remembering what he said, the fondness and lust in his voice as he spoke those words that made my world come crashing down.

I just burst into uncontrollable tears. They came spilling down my cheeks and dropped onto my clasped hands.

"Honey, come here" As he said that he did something totally unexpected; he put his arms around my shaking shoulders.

His touch evaporated all the sadness, hurt and anger in my body. It was golden. His skin so warm on my cold shoulders, it wasn't until then that I realised my shawl had dropped off. His musky woody smell gliding into my nostrils, his-

Embry's voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts, "So are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter; I don't want to be a burden or whatever."

Embry laughed lightly, "A burden? Love if I didn't want to know I wouldn't have asked"

"It's just silly teenage girl stuff..,"

"I want to know so I can help. I do know the ladies quite well."

Yeah, I know of one lady you would really like to know.

"It's this boy..." I started to say but-

"That's it do you want to beat him up for you because you know I will, no-"

I pressed my finger to his lips. His breath was gently tickling them. But I quickly removed them not wanting to revile my true feelings.

"I don't want him to be beat up, Embry, I love him, a lot" I said as calmly as I could, under these circumstances.

I looked at Embry and he was wearing a frown on his like he was in deep concentration.

"Okay...so what has he done to you?" He asked me slowly and seemed very confused.

"Err...well I was kind of eavesdropping and I heard him say that he thinks' Rose is hot and it upset me highly. Though I can't blame him he doesn't even know and well compare me to rose? She'd win by far."

He cupped my chin in his warm soft hands and said "No, Nessie you'd win"

We were looking deep into each other's eyes. My heart was pounding. My breathing was heavy. I felt dizzy just looking into his eyes.

He moved closer to me and we were only inches apart. It grew to one cm. Then an mm.

Our lip's finally touched.

BANG! It was like fireworks had just exploded in my head, my mouth, and my whole body. It was magical.

His lips began to move gently, mine responded so that they were moving in unison. Our lips were moulded together like we were made for each other.

It was a slow kiss that began to grow; I slid my arms around his neck tangling my fingers in his long soft hair. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and pulled me closer, so close there was no air between us, only passion. I didn't want the kiss to end.

The kiss was growing more and more passionate, our bodies swaying softly together. Like the ocean gently swaying onto the rocks in its path.

Suddenly we heard someone coming upstairs.

The spell was broken.

I quickly pulled away and jumped up in my fast vampire speed. Just quick enough because the second my feet touched the ground, Jacob came bouncing into the room.

"Nessie come on, before Alice personally kills us all in frustration" He laughed happily.

"Err... Okay ... come on" I replied trying to sound casual but probably didn't.

Either way Jacob grabbed me by the hand and began pulling me downstairs, I looked behind me and saw Embry smiling at me, I knew this is was going to be an awkward thing. Well, dang.
