Chapter Eleven

He was just the most perfect boyfrined in the history of boyfriends. Not that I have a history with boyfriends myself but I just know it. Embry Call was just awesome.

I changed back to my off-white and purple outfit and fixed my bangs and ponytail. I took the dark blue dress in my hands and got out silently to find Embry out of the changing room talking to a glaring shop assistant. So they had shop assistants here. I could hear their conversation from here...

"There's a reason I get paid every month!" She hissed," You can't just walk around the shop and help yourself with the clothes!" He rolled his eyes.

"Well now you'll get paid without having to work too much," he said," I just picked two dresses for my girlfriend. Big deal," he said," Oh, and we'll take the dark blue one, size Medium I think, please." I just wanted to roll on the floor with laughter; this scene just came straight out of a sitcom. He turned to me instantly and took the dress from my hands, smiling.

We ended up getting out of the store arguing.

"Come on, honey," he said," It's just a dress," he reasoned. Very childlishly, I pouted."I never really bought you anything, just consider it a gift," he said. I sighed.

"You make me regret coming shopping with you," I said. No, no, Hell no I don't regret it that much." If you're going to buy me everything I like I'm not going shopping again with you," I said sternly. He rolled his eyes.

"It's just a dress," he repeated," I literally can't buy you everything you like," he said. I sighed.

"So do you want to grab something to eat?" I asked," I'm hungry." He smiled.

"Sure," he said," The Food Court or somewhere out?" he asked. I shrugged.

"The Food Court is fine with me," I said. He grabbed me by my waist closer to him and kissed the top of my head.

"You're so cute when you're mad," he whispered in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. I giggled. I actually, really, giggled and then blushed for giggling which made it double as embarassing. He just chuckled in amusement.

On our way down to the Food Court, I noticed Charles & Keith and there was this one dark blue shoes right in the front that grabbed my attention immediately and I just had to stop to admire. I had enough money for a shoes.

High heels had always had their place in my heart, but they were painful so I only wore them on occasions.

Before I got inside, I shot Embry a warning glance before I got in. He laughed.

"Won't pay. Promise," he said and, with that, we went inside.

By the time the shop assistant got me my size of the super-cute heels about three seconds had passed. I smiled as I tried it on. The heel was thick so it was easy to walk in. I admired the back of the shoes.

"So?" I asked him. He nodded.

"Great," he said. I could see shoes weren't his favorite topic. Finally something normal about the guy.

"It's perfect on you," the shop assistant commented." Comfortable?" He asked. I nodded.

"I'll take it," I said and sat down again, taking off the shoes and giving them to him and sliding back into my flats. I was fixing my skinny jeans when I heard a high-pitched voice that I had never heard before.

"Embry!"

I glanced up at the tall, skinny blonde who stood right in front of Embry with one huge smile that made me feel sick for some reason. I looked at Embry's face for explanation but I found his face expressionless. He cleared his throat and stood up, taking my hand in his.

"Casey," he acknowledged." Hi," he said, his face still held the same unreadable expression.

I took a better look at her then.

Her blond hair was left loose around her tanned face. She was wearing, uh, a LOT of pink. Seriously. A lot. But her looks in general made me feel like someone had just punched me in the guts. She was so beautiful it hurt. Maybe like Rosalie Hale, a little like Samantha Peterson, too.

"How are you?" She asked and I felt more invisible than ever.

"Fine," he said,"Um, Casey, this is my girlfriend, Mary," he introduced and pulled me closer to him. She looked...surprised at first then I got that invisible feeling again. I gave her the best smile I could muster while all my insecurities kicked in.

So that 'Casey' must have been an ex. I mean, what else? Seriously, she didn't look like she was his type of friends, not like the people I met at the Rez. And, taking in her looks, and considering he only knew his mother and half-brother out of all his relatives, they weren't related.

Hell, the way she touched his arm wasn't in any way friendly.

"I'm going to pay," I mumbled and let go of his hand before he would stop me.

Embry Call

Why, oh WHY did Casey Stewart happen to be at the mall at that exact same moment? Oh God, what have I done in my life?

Casey was my ex-girlfriend. She was probably the one I went out with for the most time- A month and a half. The thing is...I dumped her. That's what usually happened anyways.

"So, your girlfriend, huh?" she said.

"Yeah," I stretched the word." Why do you care?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.

"Well, you deserve it. You did dump me," she said and I was wondering why the Hell hitting girls was such a taboo.

"Go to Hell, Stewart," I muttered and walked towards Mary, she was just taking her gray shopping bag. I took it from her as usual. She walked silently with me towards the Food Court. Too silent it was getting weird even for Mary.

Mary was usually the quiet one. Usually.

"What's the matter?" I asked, playing with her ponytail. She ignored my question.

"Look! There's an empty table over there!" She said and dragged me to it. I sighed and sat down as she did. Seriously, did Casey showing up bother her that much?

"Mar-" She cut me off.

"Pizza?" she suggested," Or Chinese?" I sighed.

"Whatever you want," I mumbled, resting my back on the tiny plastic chair. Well, tiny to me.

"Okay, I'll go get us some pizza then," she stood up but I stopped her quickly.

"Can we talk first?" I asked. She sighed and sat back down on the yellow chair. She kept playing with her purple bag." Tell me what's wrong," I demanded. She just sped up her fingers.

"Nothing's wrong. Why do you think something's wrong? Nothing's wrong," she rushed through the words, mumbling. I ran my hand on her soft hair.

"You do realize you just said 'Nothing's wrong' twice, don't you?" She blushed in embarassment but stayed silent." Okay, so why did my ex-girlfriend showing up bother you?" I decided to be straight-forward with her.

She bit her full bottom lip." It's no biggie, really," she reassured," I just remembered some stuff I didn't want to remember," She whispered. I grimaced. What stuff now? Did her being here remind her of that Max ? Can that be it? I bit back a growl at the thought of his name.

"Are you sure it's okay?" I asked, not wanting to push too much for information. As long as she's okay...

"Definitely," she smiled at me and I stood up.

"Well, I'll go get the pizza then," I said and kissed her quickly.

Mary Anderson

He loves me. He imprinted on me and nothing can ever change that. Never. And it doesn't matter if I think I don't look as good as that Casey does because he thinks I'm pretty.

There. I said it.

It doesn't matter.

God, it felt so good to regain my confidence again. I owed Embry that much.

Embry always told me stuff like 'You're beautiful', 'I love you', 'You look gorgeous'. I never really felt how much he meant them except for now. He loved me, only me, and nothing would change that.

I smiled to myself; I was getting the old me back.

I leaned my head on my bag that I put on the table and waited for him to come back.

I wondered for a second where the oh-so-famous couple, Allen and Chloe, were now. It was just funny thinking about them together. Matt and I were getting our revenge. For every time they annoyed us, for every second they made fun of us in, for every time they were the reason we sat home 'babysitting'. They were getting a taste of the venom.

Where do thirteen-year-olds go on dates anyways? McDonald's or Toys R Us?

Or maybe they went to see that new Disney cartoon. What else can they do? Go to an italian restaurant? They both survived on their allowance.

My phone vibrated in my bag and I opened it and got it out. If it was Matt or Allen that would be super weird. Like, 'thinking of the Devil'?

Fortunately, it was just Stacey.

"Hey!" I answered.

"Hey, sweetie,"she greeted," How're you doin' now?" she asked.

"Gettin' better," I answered.

"I called you yesterday but they told me you were asleep," she said." Just wanted to talk to you about the party and such," she added," But when you get home, I hear voices around you. The mall?" she asked.

"Yeah," I answered," Well, I'll talk to you later," I said.

"Sure, Bye!"

"Bye," I said and ended the call.

Embry arrived then.

"Didn't take you long," I commented, my voice more cheerful than last time I spoke to him. He smiled my favorite, dimple-showing smile.

"Nope," he said and kissed my forehead before he sat down beside me."Here's the girlfriend I know," he commented as he handed me my box. I blushed and smiled.

"Told you it was no biggie." Not now anyways. I opened my box and gasped before I turned to him and kissed his cheek, giving him the tightest hug ever."Thank you! I haven't had that in SO long!" I felt like a little kid but I didn't care. He laughed.

"I know," he said," You told me." Yeah, I remember when I told him that my favorite pizza was the Cheese Lovers and that I hadn't had it in a very long time. I began eating right away using the plastic fork and knife. He looked at me like I was some sort of a freak.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing," he said and shook his head, smiling,"It's just that I, for some reason, expected you to just eat it with your hands," he commented. I chuckled.

"Well, I would have if my hands weren't probably dirty. Plus, I hold too much respect for the Cheese Lovers to eat it with my hands," I joked. He raised an eyebrow at me."I'm kidding, it's just too greasy." He chuckled and ate his own regular Margherita.

My thoughts drifted once again to Al and Chloe. They might as well be having a Happy Meal now. I just found that hilarious so I laughed.

"What's so funny?" Embry asked curiously, finishing his pizza as I was still eating my third piece.

"Allen has a date today," I pointed out," With Matt's sister." He laughed.

"Poor girl," he said. I rolled my eyes.

"She's just as annoying," I said," I was just picturing the two Devils having the romance of their lives eating Happy Meals at McDonald's," I said and laughed again, Embry laughing with me, too.

"How old are they?" he asked.

"Thirteen," I answered. He raised his eyebrows.

"It's still too early for them to date," he said. I shrugged and closed my box, full now.

"How old were you when you went on your first date?" I asked.

"Irrelevant," he said.

"Come on!" I said," I wanna know!"

"Twelve-" he rushed before I said anything else-" But Mom said it was too early and that I couldn't date until I was fifteen," he said. I smiled.

"Good," I said.

"Are you done?" he asked, frowning. I nodded.

"Yeah; it's too big," I said. He stared at me again then shrugged.

He stood up," Do you want to go now?" he asked," We can go to the Rez," he said. I nodded eagerly.

"Sure!" I said,"I'd love to."

This time, I carried my own pizza box. Okay, so he had the dress and the shoes and was holding me with the other hand, that's why I got to carry my own stuff.

We got to the Rabbit and I slid in the passenger door, he turned to his side and joined me.

I was surprised he stayed quiet the whole way but he didn't look upset.

"What are you thinking about so hard?" I asked, curious. He flashed me a grin.

"Promise not to freak out?" he asked, I raised an eyebrow at him," Or think I'm weird?" he asked. I chuckled.

"I already think you're weird, Em." Sounded like 'Eb' but, whatever. He laughed.

"No, really." I nodded.

"Okay, I won't freak out, or think you're weirder than you already are," I said with a smile. He looked at me in the eyes for a few seconds before turning his head to the road.

"I was thinking how good Mary Grace Call would sound."

Yeah, I don't believe I just wrote that either. But, HE'S NOT GOING TO PROPOSE, PEOPLE! Just to be clear- It would be just be TOO TOO TOO TOO TOO weird even for a fiction =P He's just being- well, the Embry we love ;)

Team Embry once again =D

I just HAD to give her some more confidence. She just NEEDED it so bad =) This whole chapter was about that anyways. ;)
