Ever wondered what happens when a werewolf imprints on a 2 year old?

Chapter 4

Claire's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning feeling more than a little moody, Quil had just left last night without so much as a bye and I was not happy about it. Yeah fair enough I might have been getting a little close for comfort but a hug from your best friend did no way deserve the coldness of his swift exit. I have tried to deal with this crush and just be friends but I don't think I can take this anymore, one touch from Quil and I just can't help myself. Arggg!

I left my room not bothering to get changed and stomped down the stairs into the kitchen. I was so irritated from last night that I didn't even notice Emily had Embry and Seth round for breakfast. Shit.

So there I was, standing in full view of 2 of Quil's best mates in a thin t-shirt and my lacy black French knickers.

"Fucking hell Claire, no wonder Quil's so possessive over you when this is what he's been hiding away!" Embry shouted. Always the gentlemen.

I don't know what was worse, Embry's jibe or seeing Seth sat there with his mouth hanging open. My aunt Emily just looked sympathetic.

"Oh god! You tell anyone about this and I swear to god I'll burn your little black book Embry!" That wiped the smile off his face.

"Claire you know that's not fair! The minute we phase the whole pack's gonna know." Emily swatted him around the head with her spatula.

Oh. My. God. This is not happening. "Great. I'm going to get changed."

I turned and walked back up the stairs. When I got to my room I grabbed my wash things and headed into the bathroom, what I needed right now was a good shower to calm me down.

Except the warmth from the water only reminded me of Quil's touch last night and I started to think of things I really shouldn't be with my aunt and two of my surrogate brothers downstairs. So I shut off the water and got out.

Still feeling rather embarrassed about being caught in my knickers this morning I decided to go with virginal white underwear this morning, well the lace wasn't exactly innocent but it was the best I could do. I pulled on a pretty white summer dress and was about to make my way down the stairs when my phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey wolf-girl" It was Nessie.

"Hey Ness, how's it going?"

"Good thanks Claire, Nicola just called and wanted to know if we fancied helping her with her science assignment" Nicola was Ness' annoying lab partner who seemed to constantly crave attention. I wasn't her biggest fan.

"Er Ness you know how I feel about her, do I really have to be there?"

"Ohhh come on Claire! We have to get started on our science projects soon anyway…and I was thinking you could invite Shane" Hmm, now there was an idea. Nessie always knew the right things to say to get me to cave in.

"Rrrrr ok then! But I refuse to speak to her anymore than necessary."

"Woooo! Thanks Claire, meet you at yours in an hour?"

There was no going back now, "sure, see you then."

"Cool! Byeeeee."

I had better go brush my hair and put some make-up on.

They arrived about an hour later (Nessie took after her Dad and was never late if she could help it), she'd dragged Jake with her so he could chill in the kitchen with the other wolf-guys; Nicola came with them and Shane arrived shortly after. We had been working on and off for the last couple of hours but Shane was constantly trying to distract me, gently running patterns on my leg with his finger and whispering sweet things in my ear (unaware that most of the people in the room could hear him). Every so often when he said something about kissing me or going to find somewhere private Jacob would cough rather loudly. It was actually quite amusing watching Shane's face as he tried to work out if Jake had heard what he'd said or not. Not that Jake could talk, he was being equally distracting to Nessie.

I heard a car pull up outside and seemed to know immediately that it was Quil (some strange imprinting sense). A few seconds later he walked in the door, all 6'4" of him looking sexy as sin; I tried my hardest to act like I hadn't even noticed his presence but I couldn't help but look at him. He was wearing his jeans so low that I knew the rim of his boxers would be viable underneath his black t-shirt which hung so beautifully over his broad shoulders and wide chest; the sleeves of the t-shirt were tight and showed off his bulging biceps causing me to tingle in places I shouldn't be tingling at the sight of my best friend. Quil caught me looking at him and smiled at me as if I was the only person in the room, I couldn't resist giving him an equally wide smile in return but quickly noticed that Shane had stiffened beside me in irritation.

Quil's gaze followed mine and he looked as if he had suddenly realized that a vampire was in the room.

"What's he doing here?" He demanded, not hiding his disgust.

"Er Quil don't be rude, Shane, Ness and Nicola are here so we can start our science projects. Not that it's got anything to do with you. You don't even live here." I saw him flinch at my words and I did feel a little guilty, but seriously, what was his problem?

"Well Claire, I'm only looking out for your best interests, and this little punk looks a little too close to you to be helping you concentrate on your studies." He did have a point.

Shane adjusted his proximity to me to a suitable distance, which according to Quil was about 3ft away before he greeted Ness, apologizing for the delay and introduced himself to Nicola; he then turned and made his way into the kitchen.

"Jeez Claire, what's up with that guy? How do you cope with him interfering in your life all the time?" Shanes question was probably reasonable after the way he'd just been treated but I still didn't like him slagging off Quil like that.

"He cares for me that's all, and he did kinda have a point" I heard a few sniggers coming from the kitchen. Shane was sulking now…pouting really wasn't attractive in a guy. I turned to face Ness who gave me a knowing smile and I blushed shamelessly. Great, now Nessie knew I had a crush on Quil Jake would find out about it soon enough and then the whole group would know.

I glanced over to Nicola hoping to see that she hadn't paid half as much attention to the situation as Nessie when I caught her gaping in awe at the kitchen. I followed her gaze to see it land on none other that Quil. Quil!

"Hey, I'm really thursty, anyone fancy a drink?" She asked without shifting her gaze from my werewolf.

"I do! I'll go and get them!" almost shouting the words

"No no it's ok Claire, I'll go and get them"

"No Nicola, It's my house, I insist!" She was really annoying me now

"Really, it's fine, I want to go meet your other friends anyway." She turned to me and smiled innocently. As if. I had known this girl since kindergarten and if there was a half-decent male with a pulse around she'd go mark him as hers before anyone else had a chance. Well this time she picked the wrong guy.

I would give her two minutes to get a drink and that was it. Then I would go pounce.

"Calm down Claire" Ness whispered in my ear "She's a slut, and Quil obviously has more taste"

"Jake's in there remember"

"I'm getting kinda thirsty too"

"Ness as much as I dislike the girl you can't drink her blood in my house" I whispered super quietly in her ear.

"Oh please Claire, it would probably taste as nasty as the brussel sprouts mum made me try anyway" We both giggled at that but were interrupted by Nicola's plead for Quil to help her open a bottle of soda.

Ness and me exchanged a look of disgust before swiftly making our way to the kitchen. Poor Shane, he must have been rather confused.

When we reached the kitchen Nicola was leaning against the worktop tilting her body towards Quil and inching closer by the second. That was it. I rushed over to Quil as fast as I could without looking too desperate and wriggled into his lap. Nicola leaned back immediately but I made my warning clear in girl talk bye kissing him softly on the cheek "I missed you".

Confusion was written all over Quil's face and I had to nuzzle my head into his chest to hide my giggle. I looked over to Ness to see her sat in much the same position on Jake's lap, I saw her wink at Quil must have cottoned on because he wrapped his strong warm arms around me and kissed the top of my head "I missed you too Claire-bear".

I hoped Nicola had gotten the picture.

The next chapter is going to be much more Quil and Nessie...perhaps with a lemon too but you'll have to review if you want to find out!
