Chapter 6: Prodding and Pulling
TPOV
The next day Embry called round to the Cullen's to see me.
"Hey." He said, making me melt.
"Hi," I breathed.
"I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out with me tonight?" he asked nervously.
"I'd love to." I smiled.
"Great." He grinned. "I have to patrol right now, but, I'll pick you up at seven." He bent down and kissed me softly, making my head spin.
"Bye." He murmured. "I'll see you at seven."
"Bye." I whispered.
The moment he had closed the front door behind him, it hit me. I was going out on a date with the man of my dreams.
What would I wear? How should I do my hair?
I heard Edward chuckle behind me.
"Alice." He called softly. "Tabitha has a date."
A squeal came from the second floor of the house, and the next thing I knew; Alice was beside me.
"Oh my goodness! We need to get you ready! What time is he picking you up at?" she squeaked.
"Seven o'clock." I answered.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed. "We don't have much time!"
"Alice, it's only eleven o'clock in the morning, we have eight hours." I laughed.
"I know it's not as much time as we want, but, I can work around it." She smiled.
And with that she flew me upstairs and sat me in a salon style chair in the bathroom.
"Alice, I'm kind of scared." I said.
"Don't be sweetie. He's going to think you're beautiful no matter what you look like." She answered.
"Um…no, I didn't mean of him not liking me, I meant I'm scared of you." I laughed.
She giggled along with me until Nessie and Laura came in to see what was going on.
"What's up?" inquired Nessie.
"Tabby's got a date with Embry," Alice answered before I could.
"Ooh! Can we help?" she said, jumping up and down on the spot.
"Sure, why not?" I sighed.
After seven straight hours of prodding and pulling, apparently I was acceptable.
I was wearing a black skirt with white stars on it and my white Kings of Leon t-shirt with twin cherries on it. Black tights with white knee high Doc Martins. My hair was straightened to perfection, pulled into a ponytail, and I had on thick waterproof eyeliner and mascara with green eye shadow (to accentuate my green eyes.)
The last half hour was torture, until finally, Embry arrived.
At seven o'clock (on the dot) the door bell rang. I leaped up and yanked the door open.
There he was in all his muscular glory – Oh my God! I SO did not mean to think that!
He was wearing dark jeans with a light blue long sleeved shirt and converse. His hair was tied at the base of his neck with an elastic band. He was wearing what I assumed to be a wolf's fang on a necklace.
He was so gorgeous. I had a sudden urge to skip the date and just… "Oops. There I go again." I thought.
"Hello beautiful." He smiled; he then swept me up into his arms and kissed me passionately. I blushed.
"Hey yourself." I replied, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"You ready to go?" he murmured against my lips.
I nodded and stepped outside, closing the front door behind me. He led me to a battered dark green truck and opened the door for me.
"So, what kind of movie do you want to see?" He asked, driving the car off of the Cullen's property.
"I don't mind. I'll see whatever you want. I don't even know what's out."
"Okay. How about something scary?" he asked, grinning slightly.
"If you think I'm the sort of girl that let's herself get roped into seeing a scary movie by a guy, just so I'll end up with my face hidden in his shoulder the whole time then…"
His face fell.
I continued "Well then you'd be just about right." I smiled cheekily, moving closer to him.
He started laughing so hard that the entire truck shook.
"You're sly." He noted. "I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you."
"Well only if you insist." I flirted shamelessly.
He chuckled and put his arm around me. I moved into his warmth and kissed his cheek. He smiled and pulled me closer.
