Chapter 5
As I lay in bed I couldn't stop thinking of that kiss. I mean Embry kissed me. It was just a sweet, chaste kiss, but yet so amazing. What did this mean though? Does he like me like I like him? What will happen? A summer fling or something more?
Eventually I drifted off , though the sleep wasn't soundless. I found myself once again in a nightmare. The memories of that day flooded my mind. Would these dreams ever stop? Maybe it is payback. After all it was my fault, I made them go. I was being punished.
I woke Saturday morning with tears in my eyes. I hoped in the shower. I stood there thinking, the hot water was fading. I quickly finished up and got out. My morning routine continued without to much problem.
Rocky's big brown eyes stared up at me as I went to get dressed. I sighed and decided a run would be best for both of us. I loved running. It always cleared my mind. I loved the shots of adrenaline pumping through my veins and the feel of my muscles burning. I played soccer my whole life and started track in high school. I wasn't the best, but I was up there in the top 3. I beat most of the boys, but my friend Alina was better. She also played soccer with me.
I changed into a sports bra and some jogging pants. It was raining so no one would bother me. I remembered First beach and decided that's where I wanted to go. I wasn't going to bring shoes but then I remembered the beaches here weren't sandy. To my dismay I threw on my runners and opened the door. I didn't bother putting the leash on Rocky because he would stay at my side.
It took awhile to find the beach but we eventually got there. It was still only 9 o'clock so I had plenty of time. I started off with a jog and gradually increased to a sprint. The cool air kept me from sweating, but I was drenched from rain anyway. As Rock started to slow I realized we'd been running for a good two and a half hours and figured he was thirsty. I finished walking back to the beach.
As I arrived I noticed a couple people on the beach. I didn't recognize them but they were definitely Quileute. As one of them saw me walking he seemed to be giving me glare. A cold hard stare.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. He was measuring me up, as if trying to decide if I was good enough. That's when I realized this must be Sam.
"Finishing a run "I smiled back. He truly was a leader, with his hard eyes and strong voice. He was acting suspicious of me, but why?
With that I continued walking away. Just great, they hated me.
As I walked into the apartment and hurried along to get cleaned up. It was useless to do my hair; the rain would ruin it anyway. Besides Embry was probably waiting. I threw on some ripped jeans, a tight fitting graphic tee, and my favorite black zip up hoodie. I heard a knock on the door as I grabbed my bag .I opened it and found the man of my dreams.
"Hey, ready to go" Embry grinned and I couldn't help but notice a sparkle in his eye. Blushing once again , I nodded and closed the door.
"So where are you taking me?" I asked my heart still fluttering .I was sure he could hear it.
"O you know I'm kidnapping you, locking you up in a shed and holding you for ransom. Which might possibly include Chinese water torture or endless hours of the tellytubbies?"He joked.
"O no! Please, NO! Anything but that, I'll give you my kidney." I joked back
"Hmm, tempting offer really, but how about I introduce you to my friends. You'll love them, and Emily's cooking is to die for." He replied. I couldn't help but adore the way he stoked his chin as he contemplated the deal.
Friends, that probably means the pack. Well at least Quil and Jake like me. My mind went over all the members. Paul would hate me, he hated everyone, Right? Sam, well he already didn't like me. I would have to change that. Leah. I had always felt bad for her, no one ever liked her. I would definitely get to know her; she didn't deserve all the false hate. Who else was there? Collin and Brady and Seth were the youngest three I remembered. Poor Seth, didn't his father die? I immediately felt bad for him. I couldn't recall anything about the other two. The one thing I had realized was hadn't Jake run away. What happened, he seemed fine yesterday? I would have to find out the hard way.
He walked to his car and I stared in awe. He looked at me with confusion.
"Are you for real, this is a 69' cobra mustang" I stared unbelieving.
"You know what this is?" he asked in surprise.
"Yah! This is only my dream car" I replied as I walked over to it. Tracing my fingers over the hood. This man was perfect
"I fixed it up myself." He boasted. I remembered he liked this stuff .This was so hot. I loved guys that could build cars.
"Really, I've been trying to fix up a 67 Impala for like 5 months, but I can't seem to get it running" I told him. It was true; I was working on it with my mom. We both decided one day that we were going to learn how to fix cars together. It probably was never going to seethe road now.
"That's hot; most girls won't go near an engine." He told me. I instantly flushed. I was always self-conscious that I wasn't girly enough but if he liked it, I was happy.
"Ok, let's get going now that you're done drooling" he joked. I hit him lightly as a reply.
OK that was chapter 5. This is going really slow, but I'm sadistic and I love making people wait .Hehehe. Chapter 6 is on its way,… but only if I receive reviews.
