Chapter two – Ride Home
-Embry's POV-
[ After School ]
That biology class was what I needed, seeing her so beautiful, having her speak to me, I had no choice but to admit I was foaling head over heels for this girl. I saw her pulling up in her Camaro, which she looked good behind the wheel. I didn't want to run today, she was alone and she pulled up beside me as I was walking, when I could be running. She rolled down her window, her scent filling me completely.
"Hey, Embry, want a ride home?" She asked, smiling.
"Sure," I nodded.
"Alright," she paused. "Come on."
"Yeah," I nodded, walking around to the passenger side door and climbed in.
"How are you?" She asked, as she turned down the music.
"Pretty good," I nodded, noticing how beautiful she looked as the sun shined on her.
I could feel my heart hammering in my chest; it wasn't easy to not crush her into me and try to make us one. Though I knew that somehow, what I was feeling was only slightly wrong. I guess. She drove in silence and at the red light she turned to me.
"I don't know where you live," she blushed.
"Turn left at the next light," I instructed.
"Okay," she drove and turned left.
"Keep going straight," I smiled.
I didn't know what to do, I wanted to spend more time with her, whether it was an hour or forever I preferred forever but I knew the possibilities of that were low and I would have to deal with it. I sighed as we continued down the road.
"This is it," I mumbled, slightly sad.
"Alright," she climbed out, and I followed suite, slightly confused.
She stretched up and gave me a hug, which I didn't hesitate to return, I held onto her, digging my face into the crook of her neck. It was hard to believe how soft her skin was. She let me go and I straightened up letting go of her.
"Thanks for the ride," I smiled.
"Welcome." She smiled back.
"So, will I see you tomorrow?" I asked, anxious for a yes.
"Yeah, probably." She shrugged.
"Probably?" I wondered.
"If I even show up," she stuck her tongue out at me.
"Promise me, that I can take you to the beach afterschool tomorrow," I demanded. I wanted to see her again.
"Embry Call, are you ordering me around?" Her eyebrows rose in surprise.
"No," I looked around.
"Well, maybe."
"Meet you outside your locker?" I asked.
"Hmm, do you know what number I am?" She asked.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Okay. Then it's settled. I will meet you," She stretched up kissing my cheek. "At my locker. Later Embry,"
She walked away from me, her car roaring to life and sped down the road. I smiled, walking in. She kissed my cheek... I had no idea I would feel so alive when I got in. I started doing my victory dance as my mother walked in with a confused face.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing," I coughed, before bolting to my room.
"See, I told you see likes you." Paul smirked in his thoughts.
"Well, she kissed my cheek!" I boasted in my thoughts.
"Congrats man." Jacob's voice rang through me.
"Thanks."
"Boys, tomorrow, Embry won't be patrolling since he is seeing his imprint – Paul, you'll be filling in for him." Sam broke through my happiness.
"Sounds good, get to kick some vampire ass." Paul's thoughts were truly excited.
"Glad you like that Paul. I will tell Rachel." Sam joked.
I could almost feel Paul growling like a maniac, no one usually mentioned Rachel around Paul anymore, since she broke up with him. Even though he still followed her around, she said she couldn't handle the long distance and even when Paul offered to move.
It just didn't work out.
-Krysteena's Pov-
Once I left Embry standing there paralyzed from me kissing his cheek, I sped down the road, not bothering to look back. I arrived at my house to meet my adopted parents, I didn't usually kiss boys, but I felt all giddy inside.
I shut the door locking it, I never really had any boys I brought home, even though my adopted parents said that it would be good to have a boy in my life. I didn't really want to. I walked upstairs, throwing my bag into the corner of the room.
I dialed my friend, Vicky, who I had been talking to at lunch when Embry was staring at me. I sighed, looking up at the ceiling.
"Hey." Vicky answered.
"I am going with Embry to the beach tomorrow," I started blushing.
"Ohmigod," she giggled. "Did you kiss him? Are you two dating? Is he a good kisser?"
"I haven't kissed him, on the lips at least. No, and I don't know." I shrugged.
"You should tomorrow," she screamed. "And tell me everything."
"No way, I don't kiss and tell." I scoffed.
"Come on," she whined.
My phone beeped saying there was another call. I hung up on Vicky after our convo ended quickly, promising to call her back. To my pleasant surprise it was the one person I was spending time with.
"Hey Embry, how did you get my number?" I asked.
"It was in the phone book," he chuckled. "Not that hard to find."
"Oh," I started blushing. "What's up?"
"Nothing really, I was really bored, and I am not usually bored so I decided to call."
"Well, cool." I smiled.
I couldn't help the butterflies that rose. Was I really falling for him? Or was it just a school girl crush? The sound of his voice made me feel all warm and tingly, his eyes smoldered into me making me almost melt completely.
I wasn't used to this feeling – being so helpless and defenseless. I sighed, leaning back as we continued to talk.
"I have to go." I sighed.
"Alright, see you tomorrow?" He wondered.
"Totally," I mumbled.
"Alright, bye." He hung up.
"I think I love you," I thought hanging up the phone.
"Dinner!" My adopted mother called.
"Coming!" I yelled, walking down the stairs, I jogged down and the sweet scent filled my nose. Reminding me of one person.
Embry.
