Chapter 8
I woke up early the next day. I felt refreshed and excited. I had the best night sleep and the most amazing dreams. I went through my morning rituals humming sappy love songs. Looking over my outfits, I chose my favorite ripped knee jeans and a plain black tank-top. I looked outside and found the sun actually shining. I decided to put my bathing suit on underneath my outfit. It was a cute bikini, it had colorful circles on it.(A/N pic in profile)With that I left for Emily's. I knew better than to look for Embry at his own house, and I couldn't remember where it was anyway. At least this way I could talk to Emily too. I parked on the road, and headed inside the house. I hadn't eaten before I left and I was instantly reminded when I stepped into the house. Delicious smells greeted my stomach and me. My mouth started watering. Noticing I wasn't alone I waved to the few people in the living room, and continued into the kitchen.
"Hey Em, fancy meeting you here." I called and was surprised when I was greeted by both Embry and Emily. I laughed.
"Wow, that was convenient." I joked.
"Good morning, what are you up too?" Greeted Emily first, as Embry waited patiently for my attention.
"Oh , I heard that this place has really good food" I joked . She laughed and handed me a plate.
I turned to put my plate down when I felt warm arms wrap around my stomach. I jumped in surprise.
"What I don't get a hello?" Embry's husky voice filled my ears. I smiled, and turned to him.
"Nope!" I joked, and walked towards the food.
He sat down next to me at the table, which somehow became over filled in under a minute. It's like no one in the pack owned a refrigerator.
"I was wondering if anyone wanted to go to the beach. It's so nice outside." I said trying to start up conversation.
"Oooo, that's such a good idea!" Leah replied excitedly.
"What are you so friggen happy about? Did someone slip you happy pills?" asked the ever cranky Paul. She just stuck her tongue out. I giggled quietly.
"I agree I say we all head over after we eat" replied the cheery Jake.
"YAY!" I replied happily. Embry leaned over to me, and chills ran through my body.
"Does this mean I get to see you in a bikini?" Embry whispered jokingly. I slapped him playfully.
"Behave, you pig!" Sam called. Embry looked away sheepishly, while I laughed.
Breakfast went by fast, and was filled with plenty of jokes. We all walked over to the beach. Embry held my hand, and I was as happy as could be.
"Does anyone have volleyball?" I questioned as we arrived.
"Yah, I do." Who I think was Brady replied as he threw it at Paul. Paul replied by tackling the kid .I watched briefly as the two wrestled. It looked painful as they threw punches at each other but I knew better.
I stripped myself of my clothes except for my suit. I noticed Embry watching.
"Put your tongue back in Emmy" I teased. He smirked as he took off his shirt. I stared; I could watch that any day.
"Oh I'm the one staring, you're practically drooling." He teased back. It was true so there was no point in denying.
" Are you ready to get wet?" He asked, grinning wickedly. I suddenly realized what he was going to do.
"Come on. Wouldn't it be better if I just slowly got use to the water?" I tried to persuade him as he came closer.
"I don't know let's try it this way first." He joked. He grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. I yelled and screamed; begging him to put me down. He just laughed and ran towards the water. I heard encouraging shouts from a few of the guys as I thrashed violently. Nothing worked. I knew it wouldn't. I plugged my nose preparing for the water.
I felt the air swish past me as I landed in the water. I felt a distinct sting as I hit the numbingly cold water. I coughed up the little water I couldn't avoid swallowing. It was salt water, it made me gag. I looked down at myself. I had goose bumps. The water wasn't warm enough yet. I slowly walked out of the water.
As I reached the beach I saw Embry lying on a beach towel watching me. I wasn't mad, but I decided to act mad to serve as a punishment. He got up and walked over to me as I reached the beach.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He asked laughing a little, but I could tell he was serious. He wrapped his warm arms around my waist in apology. I huffed, then looked away, and finished by pushing his arms off and walking toward Emily.
As I reached Emily I noticed Leah laying a towel down to join her. I greeted them and asked to join. They happily obliged.
"What happened over there with lover boy?" Leah asked.
"O. I'm punishing him for throwing me in" I laughed. Emily laughed too.
"It looks like you killed his puppy or something." Leah joked. I laughed.
"Well I'm not really mad, but its fun messing with his emotions." I joked.
"Nice, the boy needs to learn whose boss" Emily joked. Leah and I giggled.
"So what are you two up to lately?" I asked.
"Well someone wanted to go shopping with me but never called." Emily scolded jokingly.
"You two are going shopping?" Leah asked surprised.
"Yah, Wanna come?" I asked.
"Duh. I never get to do girly things hanging out with boys all the time." Leah told us.
"Oh, we should invite Kim too." Emily remembered happily.
"Okay. When shall we go, though?" I questioned as I noticed Embry walking over.
"Let's meet up at my house Saturday at 9" Emily suggested.
"It sounds good to me. I just have to okay it with Sam." Leah told us as I noticed something blocking out my sun. Looking up I noticed Embry pouting.
Ignoring him I turned to Emily and said. "It sounds good to me too."
The shadow went away as Embry bent down to my level.
"I am really sorry. Will you please forgive me?" Embry begged. I giggled and looked to Emily and Leah.
"I don't know Embry; I think maybe we just are too different to get along." I teased. Embry got up sadly and started to walk away.
"Okay, I understand." He said, it sounded like he was going to cry. I quickly got up and ran after him, and jumped on his back.
"You know, you take everything so seriously. I was just messing with you as revenge." I told him.
He looked up at me and I could see his relieved smiled.
"Why you sneaky little minx!" He replied laughing and twirled us around. I hopped off his back and grabbed his hand to pull us along.
"Come on let's go swimming." I told him. We raced back into the water. I splashed him and as revenge he just picked me up and carried me to deep water and dropped me. I wasn't a very good swimmer, so I freaked out. I begged Embry to carry me back into water that was only 6 or 7 feet deep. He eventually caved and carried me back. I continued holding onto Embry afterwards though just out of comfort. We stood there just holding each other and relaxing with the waves for quite awhile before someone decided it was time to play volleyball.
We held hands and walked to shore.
"Alright who's on whose team?" Embry asked. I didn't want to be apart from him. So as he was told which team to be on I joined him.
"Not uh we are not having her on our team too. We've already have Kim and Aiyana." I heard Collin complain.
"Well she's on my team so deal with it." Embry barked. My heart was warmed as he defended me, but I was also a little shy about the attention.
"That's okay I want to be on Quil and Leah's team. We haven't had very much bonding lately and it makes me sad." I joked, as I solemnly walked under the net. My new team hi five'd me and I got into place.
As I turns out my team won. I actually helped them win to; much to Collins dismay. I had a few scratches from diving for the ball but I was happy. Though not as happy as I was about returning to Embry.
"Nice job shorty." Embry said as he hugged me congrats. He swayed us side to side as I laughed.
"Just because you're like a giant doesn't mean I'm short." I argued.
"Uh huh, whatever makes you feel better midget." He teased back.
"I'm not short, I'm fun sized!" I stated, giggling at the corny joke. Embry laughed happily as well.
My stomach growled and I figured it was time to eat. Embry looked down and laughed.
"Your tummy is talking." Embry joked.
"Yah well." I stated while thinking of a comeback. "You're just jealous your tummy isn't." I joked. He laughed, but just as I said that his stomach growled.
"What's your excuse now?" He joked.
"Your mean tummy is just being mean and growling at mine." I teased as we walked towards the picnic tables.
"My tummy would like an apology." I stated in a serious tone.
"Ok fine." He sighed
"Tummy say you're sorry." He commanded. I giggled and he chuckled at our corny conversation.
As we reached the tables, everyone was starting to join. We sat down on the crowded bench together, as the lunch began. Embry quickly filled his plate, while I sat back in fear of having my arm bitten off. The crazed pack was going wild with the food. Embry noticed, laughed and asked what I wanted. I told him and he quickly filled my plate for me.
Lunch continued on enjoyably. The food was great, and there were plenty of interesting conversations.
After lunch the other girls and I played with a beach ball in the shallow water, as the guys played football. I was having a great time, and totally forgot the things that were on my mind lately. The game ended eventually and I went for a little swim before retiring back to my towel for some sunbathing. I was surprised when Embry joined me but I laid my head on his shoulder and we talked. The day was really well spent, but eventually came to an end when it started to rain.
Most of the crew ended up back at Emily's. We played some games like charades and movie trivia, but eventually ended up watching movies. I was once again forced to sit on Embry's warm, comfortable lap. I shouldn't say forced though, because I was happy about it.
We watched two movies before the comfort became too much and I fell asleep in his lap once again. I felt him stroking my hair as I enjoyed his delicious smell and steady heartbeat. He woke me up after the third movie ended and we said our goodbyes.
He drove me back to the room and walked me too the door. Although the surprise was this time he asked me on a date. I of course said yes, and we decided to go next Friday. He continued the tradition by kissing me goodbye once again.
After quiet walk with the dog I went to bed, and enjoyed a peaceful night once again.
Good times, Good times! Are you as excited as me? Review and I'll update faster.
