Chapter 13
"What?" Embry asked surprised, repositioning himself in order to listen better. I was about to tell him, when I chickened out.
"I have a tattoo on my ass." I whispered. He let out a loud laugh in surprise.
"Really?" He barely said while laughing. I laughed.
"Yes, you'll never guess what it say's." I bragged.
"What?" He questioned curiously.
"Your name" I joked.
"What, how?" He asked confused.
"Like it actually says 'your name'" I teased. He stared for a second, and let out a howling laugh.
"You're funny" He teased.
"Ok, I don't but I do have one on my lower back. It's a Japanese symbol for courage." I told him. (A/N pic in profile)
"Really?" He asked unsure if I was really serious.
"Yea, would you like to see it?" I asked. Before he could answer, I lifted the back of my shirt to show him.
I noticed he was blushing.
"That's uh, really cool." He said.
After I failed to tell my secret, Embry decided we should head back to the house. The ride home Embry talked my ear off, something I didn't know possible. I guess he was really relieved to be able to talk about "pack" things.
Instead of listening, my mind was looking through old files, called memories. I had stored them away for sanity reasons. I knew I needed to start going through my thoughts before I could share them.
After we got home I called it a night, and got ready for bed. I noticed Rocky had claimed the couch as his bed. So I was all alone tonight. I slipped under my covers and let my imagination take over, or so I hoped.
Once again I stood in the background. Watching, unnoticed. I watched the exchange of words that would alter the lives around me.
"Why don't you leave on Wednesday?" The memory of myself spoke to my mum.
I shout warnings, but no one hears a sound.
Lights flashed as my memory fast forwarded.
Phone rings, the memory of me walked over to it. I watched as the worse phone call in my entire life repeated itself before me. I recalled myself screaming, but I suddenly wasn't watching in the background. I was the person screaming.
I returned to the real world still screaming. I realized I had been dreaming, and stopped screaming. I felt oddly uncomfortable in my large room all alone. I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't want to act childish. Deciding it was better to sleep than not, I walked down the stairs to the second floor.
I was tiptoeing until I realized it was pointless. Werewolves have supersensitive hearing. Plus I had been screaming a minute ago. So I stopped continued my walk regularly. I hesitated in front of the door. I leaned an ear against it, checking to see if he was up. I couldn't tell so I knocked lightly once, before opening the door and stepping in.
The room was dark, and I could faintly see the outline of a person in the bed. I walked over to the bed. I tapped on the shoulder of the man in the bed. I could see him stirring as he moved to look at his disturber.
"What the hell are you doing in my room?!" I heard Paul yell, freaked out. I jumped back and let out a surprised scream as he turned on the light.
"What the hell!!" He stated again as he began to get up.
"I was looking for Embry. I thought this was his room." I told him my voice shaking from surprise.
"Well you're in the wrong room." He stated.
"Thanks for stating the obvious." I replied sarcastically.
"Hey don't blame me for not being perfect at this ungodly hour." He complained. I groaned.
"Ugh, now that I'm up, I'm feeling a little hungry," He stated glaring at me and getting up. ARG! Something really, really awful just happened.
"O my God! Put some clothes on!" I screamed as my eyes burned at the sight of naked Paul. He didn't have a chance to reply when the door burst open.
"What is going on in here?" Embry complained groggily but stopped when he saw the sight. He laughed uncontrollably. I would have yelled at him except I would've done the same. I'm sure someone turned away; covering their eyes as they put a hand back to block out the sight further was hilarious. Not to mention adding Paul standing starker in the middle of the room.
"Could someone fill me in?" Embry asked still chuckling at the sight and clutching his side.
"Not until he puts some fricken clothes on!" I replied loud and angry. I was still in the hiding my eyes position. Paul chuckled as I heard him rustling around for clothes.
"Gosh, Paul do you always sleep naked?" I asked in disgust.
"Why do you want to know?" He stated.
"So I know not to wake you up ever again." I mumbled.
"Well then maybe I will so you don't wake me up." He replied unhappily.
"Ok, you can look now." I heard Embry say. I sighed.
"So what happened?" Embry asked again. I quickly explained.
"Ok well, its midnight and I'd like to get back to sleep. Can you two leave now?" Paul asked grouchily after I finished. I sighed and walked out with Embry.
He turned to me and chuckled in my face, while grabbing me around the waist. I yawned and he kissed my hair.
"So what did you want?" He asked quietly as he leaned against the wall, still holding me close.
"I was having trouble sleeping. Can I sleep in your bed, with you?" I asked hopefully. He smiled widely and pulled me into his room.
I noticed the bed, and I ran and jumped on it like a little kid. He laughed and followed, jumping on it next to me.
"I call the right side!" I said loudly. He laughed his lovely, sexy laugh. He rolled over me to switch our sides. He laughed but all I noticed was that he wasn't wearing a shirt. I strained myself to keep my mind and body under control. That was definitely a tempting sight.
We both got under the covers and got comfortable. He kissed me goodnight and then he laid close to me. I rested my head on his chest but I couldn't stop admiring the man next to me.
I laughed out loud as I thought of a saying my friend had told me. Embry looked at me curiously. He probably doubted my sanity. I shook my head telling him to just go to sleep. There was no way I would tell him 'Spooning leads to forking'.
I ignored the thought and cuddled closer into Embry. The calming waves of heat that rolled off him put me to sleep faster than usual. I prayed that I wouldn't drool in my sleep.
I woke up feeling smothered. I was basically sweating so I kicked the blankets off. I opened my eyes and found the reason for my smothering. I stared straight ahead but all I saw was the tan muscular body of Embry. He was holding me pressed against his chest. He was very comfortable but I wanted to get up. I tried to pry open his iron grip, but failed. I pushed and pulled but he never moved. I tried other antics like tickling and pinching but the man was immune.
I grunted before calling to him.
"Embry, wake up!" I said loudly. No response. I tried to shake him a little.
"Wakey, wakey! Ugh, come on, get up!" I complained to him. He merely rolled to his side, bringing me with him.
"Embry get up!" I shouted. He ignored it. The door opened and Kim and Jared walked in.
"Ugh, why are you yelling at 8 in the am?" Jared grunted. Both he and Kim obviously just woke up.
"Embry's got an iron grip on me and I can't get out." I complained. Kim stifled a giggle, but also had an understanding look. Apparently this was a popular thing to do. Jared just let out a howling laughter.
"Did you try tickling him, or biting him?" Kim suggested but I noticed Jared leave the room.
"I tried tickling, pinching, screaming and shaking him." I groaned. That stopped when Jared walked back in though.
"What do you have behind your back?" I asked suspiciously. He gave me a coy grin.
"It's the only thing that'll work." He said. I feared what it could be.
"Ugh, maybe I'll just sleep a little longer it's no biggie." I reassured them.
"Nah, I want to do this now. Especially since someone woke me up." He stated happily. He walked over to the bed, and my heart beat increased fearing what he had. A siren, cymbals, a dozen rats, I wondered in fear.
I closed my eyes preparing for the worse, and I was instantly shocked. Cold water splashed in my face and soaked my body. The cool liquid gave me shivers as I felt it running down my neck. Fortunately it worked and Embry shot up in the air in surprise, flinging me off the bed.
Pain ran through my body as I remembered my broken rib and arm. What a great way to start a day. I clutched my sides in pain, trying to glare at Jared. He ignored it, probably because he was ROFL (A/N I love acronyms) while Embry started to realize what happened.
Kim helped me up and told me she would go grab my pain meds as the two boys began wrestling on the floor. I discreetly avoided the two as I left the room.
I was soaked, so I returned to my bedroom to grab clothes and took a shower. And of course when I returned downstairs to enter the bathroom it was occupied. So I had to wait, soaking wet in the hallway. I heard the rumbling stop so I knew Jared and Embry were done. To confirm this both boys walked out of the room laughing. Embry noticed me sitting against the wall and sat down with me.
"Hey." He said.
"Morning." I replied as he shook his hair out. Just like a dog.
"Gah, not on me! Bad dog." I teased and he laughed and smiled at me in his adorable way.
"So what happened this morning? How come I woke up in a waterfall?" He questioned. I laughed at the memory.
"Well, I woke up and found myself glued to you unable to move. So I tried to wake you to get out of the hold, but you're an impossibly deep sleeper." I joked.
"Sorry." He blushed deeply, obviously embarrassed by his action.
"It's okay just when I started shouting to wake you up I woke everyone else. Then Jared decided to help me, thus resulting in the shower." I explained between giggles. He blushed more but laughed too.
The door to the shower opened and I dashed in, waving goodbye to Embry. I showered and got ready for my day out shopping with the girls
So I tricked you all! Ha Ha! You didn't actually think I'd be nice enough to tell you what happened to her family right? Well anyway, please review! Ty,vvm!
