From Embry's point of view:
The next weeks since our trip to Port Angela's was so amazing. Sam and I hung out more than we did before and I was able to touch her in the way I wanted to for so long. I wanted kiss her so bad and have her fall asleep in my arms every night but I knew it would be too much for her too soon. At times though it was hard to be around Jeremy because he tended to get irritated with how I treated his baby sister but he also knew I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
"Hey Sam?" I asked as I leaned against the counter one Friday after work while she finished cleaning up the shop.
"Yeah?" she said looking at me.
"Um," I said feeling tongue tied for a moment, "Well I wanted to know if you wanted to go out tonight?"
"Oh sure," she said turning red.
"Did you want to go when you finish up here?" I asked.
"Well I'd like to go home and get ready if that is alright," she said.
"Sure no problem," I told her.
"So where are you going to take me," she asked.
"Just one of the restaurants in Forks," I said.
"Oh that will be nice," she said smiling at me.
After work she drove home to get ready and told me she would let me know when I could pick her up. Since she was getting ready I decided to take a shower as well. After the shower I waited nearly an hour for her let me know that she was ready. What she did to take so long was beyond me.
Once I got to her house to pick her up the wait was worth it. She wore a blue shirt with a long black flowing skirt and her hair was down in long waves.
"You look amazing," I said not noticing that Jeremy was leaning against the doorway.
"Hey watch it that's my sister," he said.
"Jeremy," she said frowning at him and turning red.
"I won't have her out to late," I said as she grabbed my hand and led us to the car.
"Make sure you don't," Jeremy said.
"I swear I am going to kill him," she said after we pulled away from the house.
"He's not so bad," I told her, "if my sister Leah starts dating a guy I knew we will be the same way."
"When am I going to meet her," Sam asked.
"Not sure," I said honestly, "she is taking some classes right now at a community college."
"If you are so close with her," Sam said, "I thought maybe she would visit some more."
"She would but she has something from her past to deal with and needs time to deal with them," I said.
"Oh right," Sam said, "I think I remember somebody mentioning her father passing away. I don't know what I would do if one of my parents passed away."
"So when am I going to get to meet your parents?" I asked.
"Oh maybe after we've spent some more time together," she said turning red.
"You can take all of the time you need," I said, "You know that."
"I know," she said smiling.
She put her hand in mine as we drove closer to the restaurant. We got out and I put my hand in hers and lead her to the door. We sat down at a table in the corner which gave a privacy to talk. I watched her talk about a new book she got at the store and how excited she got.
"What," she asked noticing the intensity of my gaze.
"You're just so beautiful," I said without thinking.
"Thank you Embry," she said smiling shyly at me.
"You're welcome," I told her.
For the rest of the evening we talked the whole time. After dinner we walked down to a small ice cream shop holding hands. The small shop was crowded especially since it was a small town on a Friday night. I froze when I saw Brittany and some of her female friends come walking towards each of them holding an ice cream.
She smiled at me in a flirtatious way which would have made me go after her before but now I all I saw was Sam. Frowning Sam quickly stood in front of me making sure Brittany could see that she was with me. Brittany gave Sam a dirty look before looking back at me with a smile on her face. I too frowned at Brittany and place my arm around Sam as if to tell Brittany to back off. Brittany smirked at us before leaving with her friends and I didn't like the look she gave us at all.
I pushed that thought out of my mind as we ordered our ice cream and got back into my truck.
"Embry can we go to first beach?" she asked.
"Sure," I said, "why do you want to go there?"
"I liked hanging out there last week and I think it would be nice if it was just us," she said.
By the time we got to first beach we finished our ice cream. I opened the door for her and held her hand as we walked to a secluded spot on the beach. We sat down sitting near to each other but it wasn't close enough. I so wanted to reach out to each other and rapped my arms around her and pull her close. I then saw her rap her arms around herself and shiver.
"Are you cold?" I asked.
"Yes," she said quietly.
I placed my arm around her and pulled her closer to me.
"Is this alright?" I whispered.
"Yes," she whispered back.
We sat in silence and I felt elated at the fact that I was holding her so close.
"This is nice," she said softly.
"It is," I said smelling into her hair.
"I was so afraid of starting something with you," she said, "but this is perfect."
"I'm glad you finally opened up to me," I told her, "I really do like you a lot."
"I like you too Embry," she said.
I intertwined our hands and pulled her closer to me with my other arm. She rested her head on my shoulder and before I knew it I could hear her soft breathing even out. I smiled into her hair and kissed her temple before scooping her up into my arms and carried her sleeping body to the truck. I got her home, which was unlocked and Jeremy wasn't there.
I took her into her room and took off her jacket, shoes, and socks. I lifted her to and pulled the covers down and laid the covers over her.
"Embry don't leave me," she said quietly.
"What?" I asked my voice breaking.
"Don't go," she said, "Lay with me."
"Are you sure," I asked.
"Yes Embry," she whispered her large eyes fluttered open to look at me and her gaze kept me by her side.
I kicked off my shoes and pulled off my shirt. I lifted up the covers and slid in next to her. We lay facing each other and our eyes searched each others.
"Thank you for staying," she said quietly.
"You're welcome," I said, "You sure this isn't too much?"
"No Embry," she said, "or else I wouldn't have asked and as long as we are just sleeping and not doing anything else."
"Of course," I said smiling at her, "I wouldn't dream of anything else until you are ready."
"Thank you," she said, "Sometimes it gets lonely when Jeremy isn't here."
I pulled her into my arms and she laid her head on my chest.
"I'll always be here for you," I whispered.
"Goodnight Embry," she said.
"Goodnight Sam," I said.
We fell asleep together like that which was heaven. The next morning I was woken up by a door slamming open. I opened my eyes to the bright light of the morning.
"What the heck are you doing in bed with my sister," Jeremy's voice yelled.
We both sat up quickly moving away from each other and I missed having her so near. We looked to see Jeremy standing in the doorway with his arms folded across his chest.
"I thought you wouldn't touch her," he said in a low voice.
"I didn't…we didn't…I couldn't do that yet," I said standing, "she isn't ready."
"Wait," Sam said and we both looked at her as she flushed angrily and looked at Jeremy, "I can't believe that you think I would do something like that yet."
"I didn't…mean…" Jeremy started.
"Embry and I are together," she said nearly shouting, "We will, whether you like it or not, will be together. I can't believe that you think I'd so something like that so quickly and if you think that you don't know me at all!"
She then crossed her arms and looked down at her feet with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry Sam," Jeremy said, "it was stupid of me to assume that you and Embry…"
"It's alright," she said, "now say sorry to Embry."
"I'm sorry Embry," he said glumly.
"It's alright man," I said.
"I'm going to the bathroom," she said stomping off.
"So what happened last night," Jeremy asked looking embarrassed.
"I took her to dinner, out for some ice cream, then to the beach where she fell asleep. When she did I brought her back here she asked me to stay and we fell asleep," I said.
"Man I can't believe she let you do that," Jeremy said as we walked out to the kitchen.
"Wait till you find someone," I told him, "and you know how I'll feel."
"I like being single too much," Jeremy said.
"That is what I said before I met your sister," I told him.
"I don't think that any girl will be like that for me," Jeremy said sadly.
"You'll find her," I said.
"Do you boys want some breakfast?" Sam asked as she came into the room breaking the conversation up.
I then watched Sam make breakfast seeing how perfect my imprint and I were together and how much she meant to me.
Let me know what you think!
