Okay so I got 2 reviews so I guess I will write another considering the first chapter was more of an introduction of my o/c. EmbryXXXluver and fighter419 this is for you;p
"Oh, hi yeah I'm new, I just moved down the street, I'm Ashley." I said trying not to stumble over my words
you see I have a problem when I get nervous I babble or sometimes I just cant get the right words to come out.
Thank goodness this wasn't one of those times. Although I promised myself no relationships for a while, he was
still Mr. gorgeous. " I think you are the one that bought the hose across from Emily, I'm Embry by the way." he
said with the most perfect smile on his face. " If it's just right down there than yup it's me. Is Emily a nice
person cause I might have blinded her friends on the porch." I said hesitantly. " Well I like to think of my self as
a nice person," the scared woman at the bar said with a smirk, "and as for the boys they will live, they were
probably just curious is all." I held out my hand with a friendly smile to shake her hand. " I'm Ashley it's nice to
meet you Emily." "Same to you sweety, I hope you like it around here the house you bought has been empty for
years." Emily stated welcomly. " I think I will like it here, I am going to be working on the house and I still need
to find a job though."
Emily handed me an application and a shirt that read Ulrey's Tavern on the front. I stared with amazement, I
didn't think it would be that easy. " You can start in 3 days." She said with a smile and a wink to Embry. I turned
around to find him grinning from ear to ear. " Well good night Embry." I said as I walked towards the door not
giving him a chance to respond with anything he might regret. When I got home I unpacked my bathroom box
and opened the bedroom boxes until I found the air mattress I keep for guest. As I started the pump on the
mattress I decided to jump in the shower. I made it quick not knowing how fast the pump would have to take. It
was finished when I got out. I put on a pair of boxers and a long sleeve t shirt and grabbed the pillow and
blankets out of the box. As I laid there I couldn't help but think about how my life was turning around and by
my own choice for the first time in years. I was so happy, and I knew my girls would be too. I wished I could get
my other family members up here, well at least my mom and sister, my brother was married and had a good
paying job as a counselor in a local high school near his house in Ohio. My thoughts were jumbled with all of
that and how I wanted to fix the house up as I started drifting to sleep. A few hours later I was awoke to a
shadow moving in front of my window. So I got up to look and noticed it was actually a couple of guys walking
in front of Emily's porch light that shone into my window, so I grabbed a sheet and draped it over the curtain
rode. I thought it was strange they were up so late and outside, I looked at my cell phone and it said 4:00 am. I
figured it might just be her family or husband getting out of the tavern since I didn't notice the closing time it
was possible. I rolled over snuggling to my blanket and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
(EPOV)
About two weeks ago I noticed the old house across from Sam's had sold, so when we seen a u haul pull
past the house we were curious. It's not like dealing with new neighbors is the same as normal people. We now
had closer eyes to where we phased. And the woods we patrolled ran behind the house. I seen only a woman get
out. She seemed decent looking from what I could tell, but I couldn't see her face. She seemed pretty
independent as we noticed her moving all the things in the house by her self. We decided to go down to Emily's
tavern and get something to eat, I had patrol tonight. Seth, Jared, Quil and me all grabbed a booth and order 4
large pizza's. After the third one was finished and we were waiting on the fourth to get to our table we noticed
Emily talking to a woman at the bar. They were talking about the portions of food you get. When Emily pointed
at us saying we could all eat 3 servings ourselves. We all smiled and my jaw dropped as the woman and my eyes
met. Everything shifted, blurring almost except her. I couldn't help but just stare at this beautiful woman. She
blushed and turned around. I felt Seth shove me to go talk to her. They must of noticed my reaction cause they
all had smiles on their face. Seth whispered " Good luck, man you got a good looking imprint." with a smile. I
walked up too her from behind and told her hello and asked if she was new, I was hoping she just wasn't passing
through. She told me her name was Ashley and she moved across from Sam and Emily's. Thank god !!!! Ashley
asked about Emily and that she was looking for a job. Emily must have noticed my love struck look also cause
she instantly answered by giving her a application and winking at me. I didn't get another chance to speak to her
cause she was heading for the door instantly with a quick good bye. I sat down finishing my pizza and decided I
better go relieve Paul from patrol. As I walked past her house I noticed that she hadn't put blinds or curtains up
yet. I watched as she walked from one room to the other. I tried not too watch too long and ran into the woods to
phase.
Hey Em. Hurry up I'm starving .
I'm coming Paul. Thinking about nothing but Ashley.
Holy hell... you imprinted. (Paul)
Yeah, now I just have to get to know her better. (Embry)
Well congrats. Man and I'm sure you will since she lives so close. (Paul)
Paul phased and I ran for hours by myself doing nothing but daydreaming. When I got off I went to Sam's. I
figured she would be asleep. And she was but Jake was there sitting on the porch. He came over to see us
sometimes. Nessie and him recently moved in together and sometimes he missed just visiting with us so he
would patrol around his house and then shoot over to see one of us when we were doing a shift change. He
congratulated me and I couldn't sit still trying to explain to him what I felt. We must have been too loud cause
we both noticed that Ashley got up and put a curtain up. Great how smooth am I. I thought to myself. I guess I
will have to make it up too her tomorrow.
