Okay, this chapter is about all the couples in my story. I feel I need to get to know them better!
Chapter 7 – Relationships
By the way, all this is happening on the same day as the last chapter.
LEAH'S POV
I sat on the cliff near the beach, anxiously waiting for Emmett to arrive. Not two minutes later, he arrived, coming from behind and taking a seat next to me.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." I replied. A very awkward silence followed. Weirdly enough, Emmett didn't smell bad. He didn't smell sickly sweet and cold like all the other vampires did, he smelt nice.
"Hmm…" I sighed, breathing deeply through my nose smelling his scent.
"What?" he asked, curiosity lighting up his eyes.
"Err…" I mumbled, blushing deeply, "I, um… err…." And for some reason, I thought he deserved the truth, "I was… smelling you." I looked down as my face grew redder.
"I won't ask why because I already know." He told me, taking my hand.
"You do?" I asked, surprised.
"Trust me, I do. You smell good too, nothing like the other werewolves." He told me.
"Really?" I asked, again surprised.
"Yeah, like the forest; fresh, natural, absolutely beautiful…" he trailed off. I squeezed his hand, encouraging him to go on. "But not only do you smell beautiful, you look beautiful… like nothing I've ever seen." (A/N) – There are many types of beautiful, like Rosalie was a beautiful Barbie blonde but Leah is … Quilete beautiful… if you get what I mean :D)
"I hope you don't feel that you have to be with me just because I imprinted on you. I will respect your decision." I told him, knowing I was doing the right thing.
"You're beautiful, intelligent, and totally perfect, but what you just said was extremely stupid." He said and grabbed me, folding me into a kiss unlike all others. It was magic, pure magic.
Yay, things are looking good for Emmett and Leah!
JARED'S POV
"Awesome, bro!" Seth exclaimed when I showed him the diamond ring I bought for Kim.
"Congrats!" Embry said, clapping me on the shoulder.
"Yeah, that's great!" Quil smiled, climbing into his car. "Do you need a lift home?" he asked us all.
"Um, yeah!" I said and got in while Embry and Seth explained about the Mega Battle III game they were going to play at Seth's house, just around the corner. We sped off down the street.
"So, how's Claire-bear?" I asked.
"She's good; her fourth birthday is coming up. Oh yeah, that reminds me! Everyone's invited, I just forgot to say…" he trailed off.
"That sounds great, I'll tell Kim." I said as we pulled up out the front of mine and Kim's new little house. I thought of the plan for the engagement, happy with what I had come up with. I was going to take her to the beach, to the place where I had imprinted on her, even though she had been my lab partner the whole time in high school. As the sun set I planned to propose.
How original! I thought to myself, rolling my eyes as I entered the house. I found Kim in the kitchen, baking cookies, (A/N) – Cookies! Ha ha, I couldn't help myself… ;D)
"Hey Kimmy-Kat." I said, using my nickname for her as I come up behind her, kissing her neck.
"If I burn myself, I blame you." She giggled as she set the hot tray on the bench, taking her oven mitts off.
"What?" I asked innocently, "Don't you like this?" I teased, turning her around and kissing her passionately on the lips.
"Of course I do." She murmured, her soft lips brushing against mine.
"Have you almost finished?" I asked her, "I want to take you somewhere."
"Sure," she said suspiciously, "I just have to pack up."
Fifteen minutes later we were in the car, driving to the beach.
"Okay," I said, leading her down the track towards the rock formation where I had imprinted on her. I was beginning to feel slightly nauseous, but I guessed it was just the nerves.
"Jared…" she trailed off, knowing what I was doing. The sun was just starting to dip beyond the horizon and I knelt, taking Kim's hand.
"Kimberley Sarah Johnson, will you marry me?" I asked, unsure what the answer would be.
"Yes! Yes, of course!" she exclaimed, tears of joy gathering in her eyes as I slid the ring on her finger. I stood up and she flung her arms around me, hugging me tightly.
I returned the hug, only pulling away to kiss her tenderly.
So know they're engaged, I hope you all like it!
QUIL'S POV
I am glad that things are working out for Kim and Jared I thought as Jared went inside his house. I drove down the road, turning onto my street, resisting the urge to keep going towards Claire's house. Jared talking about her has made me want to see her. But I thought Claire's mum might me slightly more than annoyed, seeing I was there only this morning.
Sometimes it really sucked, your imprint being a four-year-old. But I didn't have any romantic feeling towards her yet, I just felt like an over-protective older brother. I pulled into my driveway, turning off the car.
"Quil? Is that you?" I heard my mum call from the kitchen.
"Yeah Mum, it's me." I called back.
"Good, dinner will be ready in ten minutes." She told me.
"Okay!" I yelled back as I headed up the stairs and into my room. So here I was, on a Saturday night, at home.
Wow Quil, I thought to myself, you really need to get out more.
So I guess it must be a little lonely for Quil sometime … poor thing…
EMBRY'S POV
"Courtney?" I bellowed as I pulled on my good jacket, "You ready yet?" And that was when she came down the stairs, in a beautiful blue dress. It took my breath away, with her chocolate brown curls tumbling down her back, her soft red lips and beautiful sea blue eyes that matched her dress.
"Wow!" was all I could say.
"I'll take that as a compliment." She said curtly, taking my hand and pulling me out the door and into the car. We arrived at 'La Pucheta', the pasta restaurant. A waiter led us to a table for two, in the far corner. We sat down and studied the menus.
"Good evening, are you ready to order?" a tall man asked politely.
"Umm, I am. How about you Courtney?" I asked Courtney.
"I'll have the chicken carbonara." She said and the waiter scribbled it down.
"And I'll have the beef ravioli." I added, but I continued to stare at Courtney. She seemed, nervous and unsure about something.
"It should be ready in half an hour." The waiter said and left us.
"What is it Court?" I asked worriedly, "You seem nervous."
"Well, it's… I… I have to tell you something." She told me, stumbling over the words.
"Oh my god, what is it!" I whispered, grabbing her hand, immediately in panic mode.
"It's nothing bad…" she trailed off, but it hardly calmed me, "I'm…I'm pregnant." She whispered.
"Really?" I asked, totally dumbfounded. "Are you sure?"
"Positive." She said, hanging her head, thinking I was disappointed.
"That's great!" I yelped, jumping up and pulling her into a hug.
"But-But I thought you would be angry!" she sobbed into my shoulder.
"How could I be angry? It's fantastic." I consoled her, totally oblivious that we were in a restaurant, surrounded by people.
Well, this is a very eventful afternoon! ;D
SETH'S POV
"Stop it!" Charlotte giggled as I kissed along her jaw, trailing down to her neck.
"Are you sure? Do you really want me to stop?" I teased, but continued to cover her in kisses.
"Yes! My parents will be home soon and I expect you to behave!" she mumbled as our lips met.
"Okay, okay." I sighed as she pushed me away.
"Thank you. I have to get dinner finished before they get back." Charlotte tucked a few strands of her short hair behind her ear as she bustled around the kitchen. We were having dinner at her house with her parent for the 11th time. That's right; I've been counting these dreadful nights. I mean, I love Charlotte and I enjoy spending time with her but her parents are like the parents from hell!
"I see that look in your eyes." Charlotte said, "It's really not that bad. I go to your house for dinner at least once a week. This is only your 11th time in one and a half years!" she pointed out.
"Yeah but my family is more…" I trailed off, not daring to say anything else.
"Is more what? More what?" she growled, her eyes narrowing.
"Nothing, nothing. I'm sorry. Do you need any help?" I asked, hoping to change the subject. Charlotte got the hint; she knew I hated it when we argued.
"Can you get the roast out of the oven?" she asked as she started to set the table. I did as she asked, not even bothering with oven mitts, knowing they wouldn't fit.
"Ooh, oww!" I gasped as I quickly set the roast on the bench and started shaking my burning hands.
"You idiot!" Charlotte yelped, coming over to inspect my fingers which were already healing. "Typical werewolf!" she scowled, starting to arrange the cooked vegetables around the roast artistically.
"I'm sorry I scared you." I said, kissing her hair from behind. Tonight all I seem to be saying is sorry! I thought to myself.
"You are most definitely forgiven." She said, turning around to kiss me sweetly.
Hmm, so Charlotte has evil parents. Cool.
EMILY'S POV
"Now you go straight to sleep." I told Jayde as I set her down in her bed.
"No waking up in the middle of the night either." Sam added, kissing her forehead.
"Night Mummy. Night Daddy." Jayde yawned as I kissed her.
"Good night Jayde." We both coursed and exited the room.
"I'm sorry baby, but have to go on patrol." Sam apologized.
"I know." I sighed. "See you later. Try and make it back before I wake up." I said, stretching up to kiss him. He locked his arms around me, kissing me as if we had all the time in the world.
"I love you." He whispered into my hair.
"I love you too." I promised, kissing him one more time. Once he was gone, I cleaned up around the house then the phone rang.
"Hello, Emily Uley speaking." I said once I had put the phone to my ear.
"Hey Em!" I heard a familiar voice say.
"Rachel? Is that you?" I gasped.
"Yeah! It is me! And guess what!" Rachel practically yelled.
"What?" I asked anxiously.
"I'm moving back to La Push! I was just on the phone to Jacob, I told him first. I am moving to that little house just around the corner from dad's." she told me.
"Really? Wow, that's great!" I exclaimed. "So are you bringing your boyfriend?" I asked slyly.
"No I am not Mrs. Uley, I am currently single." She replied curtly.
"Oh, well your no fun." I grumbled.
"I'll be there tomorrow, ahead of all my stuff so I'll be staying at Jake' house." She notified me, "So come up and visit later tomorrow afternoon."
"I will, see you then!" I promised.
"Bye!" she said and hung up.
Yay! I thought, My best friend since forever is moving back!
Well, this is interesting…. ;D
THE NEXT DAY
PAULS POV
I walked up the path, knocking on Jacob's perfect door, to his perfect house. Alright, so I was jealous. I mean, who wouldn't be! Bella answered it.
"Ra- Oh, Paul!" she said seeming both surprised and a little disappointed.
"Err, hey. If it's not a good time I can come back later…" I trailed off.
"No, no! I'll go find Jake for you. Will you watch Benny; he's in the lounge room." She asked, as she headed towards the other end of the house.
"Sure." I mumbled thought she was already gone. I went into the lounge room and found Ben on the floor, playing with his many toys.
"Uncle Pool!" Ben exclaimed, running towards me. I grimaced, he could never get my name right, but he definitely looked much better since the other day.
"Hey Ben!" I said, picking him up and hugging him. I hadn't heard the door open so I jumped when I heard someone say.
"Paul? Is that you?"
I turned and saw Rachel, Jake's older sister. Oh god, what was this feeling? It was like all the strings of life were being cut away, and my reason for living were centered on the beautiful woman in front of me.
Oh great! I thought, I've imprinted!
Do you like it? Please review and tell me what you think! It is double the length of my normal chapter, but I think it's better… maybe. :D
