Hi! Woo! It's Thursday and I updated. Katy here, thanks for the reviews and just generally reading my story.
One reviewer commented about my obsession with tea. I don't live in America but in England and I'm the stereotypical English girl who loves a good cup of a tea and a bourbon (I don't know if you know or not, but they're biscuits, not alcoholic drinks). The characters drink a lot of tea purely because I like it and find it more comforting than coffee, so that's the reason!

I woke up the next morning looking forward to my day with Sam. Hopefully it would all go well and we'd get everything cleared up. Jared came into my room to let me know breakfast was ready and that Sam would be picking me up at about 11.
After breakfast, I showered, dried my hair and got dressed. Just as I was finishing, the doorbell rang and before I could get to it, Charlie was there.
'Sam. Hi. How are you?'
'Hello sir. Not too bad thanks, you?'
'Good thanks, where you taking Bella today?'
'Just down to the beach, we need to talk about everything that happened yesterday and what we're going to do next.'
'Okay, could you have her back before 10?'
'Certainly. Hey Bella.' Sam said as I walked into the hallway.
'Hey Sam, I'm ready if you are?'
'Yep, let's go, see you later sir. Bye Jared.'
Sam walked out the house and I followed. He offered me his hand and we headed down to the beach.
'Here good?' he asked as we walked past a sand dune.
'Yeah.' He pulled me down next to him and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
After an awkward silence he came out with. 'I broke up with Emily.'
'What? Why? I thought you two were forever.'
'It didn't feel right knowing that I wasn't with you. It's an imprint thing, I can't be with her when all I can see is you. She's pretty pissed. I thought I could stay with her, but I can't. I feel like I should resent the imprint for hurting our relationship like this, but I can't cos it brought me to you.'
'You resent me?' I enquired in a quiet voice.
He cupped my face in his hands and look at me with desperation in his eyes. 'God Bella, I could never ever resent you. I could never.. I can't even comprehend feeling like that towards you.'
'Oh, okay.'
'I want to try be with you, but I don't know how, all I know is Emily, we've been together since forever. I want to be whatever you need me to be, I'll be your friend, your lover, whatever you need.'
'Maybe we could date..? Take it slowly?' I asked shyly.
'I'd like that.' He replied with a huge grin on his face. 'About yesterday..'
'Ah, yesterday was all kinds of weird. Who was that guy?' He took my tiny hand in his huge one.
'That was the leader of the other tribe in the area, the Makahs. He hates us, specifically me, because I'm the alpha. Also, he hates us partially because in some weird way we're related, like our ancestors were the same, but their stories are different to ours. Their stories resent the wolf and blame him for making the first change from spirit warrior to wolf whereas in ours, as you know, the wolf was kind enough to share his body. The Makahs also hate us because our wolf forms are bigger and stronger than theirs. We think this is because of our more common exposure to vampires. We have a treaty with The Cullens who live in Forks. They promised us generations ago not to hunt humans, but only animals, we agreed to leave them be as long as they keep off our land. The Makahs think we agreed because we are 'pussies' and keep them around to strengthen our wolves, not because they are doing no harm and their leader Carlisle helps humans in the hospital. The Makahs hate the being wolves but if they have to be them, they want to be better than everyone else. The Makah's leader specifically hates me because I left a scar on his leg when he invaded our land and he sees this as a weakness. His name is Ephraim, his parents named him that in the hope he would be as great as Ephraim Black, our previous leader. Stay away from him.'
'Wow, he seems a bit stupid, I'll do my best to stay away from him.'
'Good I'm glad, you seem to be taking all this rather well, are you okay with it? Any questions?' he said while caressing my hand with his thumb.
'Erm, I'm ok, I think, is there any other wolfy things I need to know about?'
'Well, when we're in our wolf forms, we can read each other's minds, originally it was to help us hunt, now it's just an annoyance.' He was looking at my face like he was waiting for me to run away.
'I'm not about to flee to the woods and run away screaming you know, I like you and I'll accept you, wolf and all.'
'Thanks, you've no idea how much that means to me, Emily refused to speak to me for weeks, especially when she realised that she wasn't my imprint.'
'I can see why, but I'm glad you didn't imprint on her.' I said in a quiet voice.
'So am I.' He leaned in to my body and buried his face in my neck and inhaled deeply, almost like he was reassuring himself I was there.
'Are you sniffing me?' I asked.
'His face flushed red and he looked so cute when he was flustered. 'Erm.. yeah. My wolf likes to smell his mate.'
'Well tell your wolf that he is welcome to smell his mate any time he likes as long as warning is given.'
'My wolf received the message loud and clear' he replied, and laughed his barking laugh around us and the sound of it drifted off into the sea.

I laughed. I felt so joyous and free with Bella. She brought out the best in me. I loved her, even though it was too soon to tell her. Even though our conversation had been heavy, we got through it and she managed to dissolve all the tension in just a few sentences. I thought about it and realised it was probably a good time to ask her on a date.
'Bella, would you like to go on a date with me, say tomorrow night?'
'Yes, I'd like that, how should I dress?' She asked with a huge smile on her face. I thought about it.
'Erm, I don't know, Comfy Smart?'
She laughed. 'Comfy Smart? I'll do my best.'
She snuggled down into my embrace and without any conscious thought from me, our heads leaned closer together until our lips were nearly touching.
'Bella,' I whispered. 'Can I kiss you?'
'Yes.' She whispered. Our lips touched and everything else melted away, I was kissing the most beautiful girl in the world. The kiss probably only lasted a few seconds, but it felt like forever, it was the perfect first kiss. Crap. I sounded like girl.
I pulled away a bit and whispered 'Hi.'
She giggled. 'Hi.'
I chuckled and kissed her forehead while pulling impossibly closer to my body. Everything was perfect.
Sooooooo, what did you think? THEY KISSSSED! AHHHH. Some may think their relationship is moving too fast, but they're too cute to make them resist each other. Tell me what you think and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
