"Why hello again, Natalie." I turned around to the boy I've been dreaming about a year now. He had green eyes curly brown-gold hair.
"And hello to you too E.J." I said coyly. We would always meet in the same spot. It was a meadow isolated from everywhere and anywhere. I walked over and sat down next to him.
"So how was your day today?" He asked lying on his back.
"Great. I was adopted today." I said joining him. He put his arms behind his head and looked over at me.
"Really are they nice?"
"Yes very. I have an older brother now." I said looking over at him.
"I'm glad." He said with his easy smile on. As always we talk about my life and laughed at stupid jokes.
"E.J?" I asked looking over at him. His dazzling green eyes locked to mine.
"Yes?" He asked in his smooth voice.
"Will we ever meet, in real life I mean?" I asked sitting up and hugging my knees. He sat up on his elbows.
"I have no idea." He said standing and looked back to me and offered his hand. I took it and stood up. He still held my hand as he starred walking into the woods.
"Where are we going?" I asked in my soft voice.
"I want to show you something." He said in his smooth ghost like voice. I smiled and nodded. We walked to the edge of the woods but once we got through the trees. I felt like someone was shaking me.
"Goodbye, Natalie." E.J said. Then the bright of the morning filled my room.
"Natalie wake up we're gonna be late for school." I tossed and turn then looked up at Embry. He was smiling but looked really tried. I nodded and walked to the bathroom.
I got cleaned up and walked into my room with a towel on. I remember mom saying she bought me a new wardrobe but with the closet and the huge dresser I couldn't find anything. I walked over to the dresser that had twelve drawers, six on each side. When I opened the first drawer I found a bundle of lace. Once I picked a red string I finally relisilised what it was. The one I was holding was a red lace like corset. My eyes were probably wide as dinner plates.
"What the hell?" I questioned under my breath. I put the red one back and looked at all the others. There were all different colors of lace and let's just say that the more colors the less lace. I closed the drawer and went in my suitcase to get underwear that would actually cover my butt. I went in the lower drawers and found a white halter with big red polka-dots on it, a red skirt and a red sweater to go with it. In my closet I found some red stilettos with a polka dot bow on them.
I walked down the hall to look in the bathroom's mirror but the door was shut and the shower was running.
So I walked to the kitchen where I smelled breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and saw mom flipping a pancake in a pan.
"Heya mom." I said hugging her from behind. She dumped the pancake on to a plate turned to me and gave me a hug back.
"Good morning, Natalie. How'd you sleep?"
"Great." I said smiling as she started a new pancake.
"That's good. You look nice." She commented nodding at my apparel.
"Thank you but I have a question." Mom looked over at me as if urging me to continue. "Not that I mind but what's up with my wardobe? It's like a Victoria secret in my top drawers, the left side of my closet can fill whole shoe store alone and I now own every mini-skirt and sexy top in all of Washington." I said she looked at me. She put the next pancake on the plate then walked over to me.
"It's nothing dear but I've never have a daughter and I went a little crazy. I'm sorry I just always wanted a girl I could dress up and she would be beautiful and now I have one. We'll go shopping and-"
"No," I cut in. "I like the clothes and it is the best thing you could have given me. It's just that I have a feeling I'm gonna be stared at more than usual today." I admitted. She laughed.
"They would stare if you were wearing a nun's habit." She said and I giggled a bit. Then the door opened. I looked over and Jacob Black was walking in and stood stock still and was staring at me.
"Morning, Jacob how are you this lovely day?" Mom asked holding back the laugh she had from Jacob gawking at me.
"F...f-fine." He strutted. I smiled at his strutting and walked over to him.
"Good morning Jake." I said hugging him. He was still for a moment then hugged me back.
"Good morning Natalie." He let me go out of the embrace when I heard the bathroom door open. I turned around and saw Embry walking out to the living room/kitchen.
"Finally you're out of the bathroom and they say girl's take forever." I teased.
"Shut it Natalie." He laughed. I walked into the bathroom and tied my hair in one long pony tail and putting my bangs over my eye. The halter top covered my scar nicely so I could keep my hair up today. I walked out of the bathroom and out to the kitchen and grabbed a plate and put one pancake on it.
"Is that all your eating dear?" Mom asked. Truth be told I never did eat a lot. I think the most I've ever eaten was a year ago when I had three huge slices of pizza.
"Yep I'm fine." I said sitting on the counter.
"Ok, guys might want to hurry up and ya'll be late for school." Mom said. In literally fifty second Embry and Jacob had finished like a hundred pancakes. When I finished my first and only pancake they were already putting their dishes in the sink. I put my plate in the sink and followed them.
"Bye Mom." I said hugging her on my way out the door.
"Bye, dear have a good day." She called as I followed the boys out to the car. I walked out to Jake as he opened the door for me.
"Hey wait for me!" I turned around to see Quil running to meet us. I smiled and walked over to him.
"Morning Quil." I said. I felt his arms around my waist.
"Good morning to you too Natalie." Quil said but then let go really fast like someone was going to kill him behind me. "Fine, Fine I'm letting go." Quil said backing away. I turned around and looked at the only two people who were behind me. Both Jacob and Embry were looking in every other direction then at me.
"Ok, now let's get a move on." Embry said opening the passenger door.
"'Get a move on? Who says that anymore?" Jacob said opening the driver door and helping me into the backseat. I swear I felt something graze my leg. When I sat down in the back seat Jacob was smiling at me. I blushed. I seriously hate my blush because unlike most people my blush came in big patchwork-like blotches all over my cheeks. I put hands over my face. The engine started and we were off to school. The whole ride the boys talked about things that made no sense to me what so ever. They were talking about patrols and others things that sounded like the coast guard.
But I ignored them and closed my eyes humming softly to myself.
