Laurena's pov.
Tuesday morning I sit in my car with Kim freaking out. "Shit Kim I can't do this" "Yes you can, just be strong. This is going to be fun!" she almost giggled.
I didn't see Paul the whole morning, but as soon as the lunch bell rang my hart started to pound. I slowly walked towards the cafeteria. Just before I turned around to run the other way an arm was put around my shoulder. "Hay Laaaaur" I couldn't keep the smile off my face. "Embry" I said relieved to not go in alone. "So uh ... how are you doing?" he asked nervously "amm fine… why?" "I …uh… saw Paul… kissing Megan yesterday…" That didn't take long…. "O yeah we aren't together anymore Em" I said trying to keep my voice from breaking. Please Paul doesn't just kiss! "O" he said with an encouraging smile. "Come on… I'll walk you in." Ahh… Embry… He is such a sweet guy… and really good looking even though he is a year younger than me that boys huge. Paul hated him… said he had a crush on me … mmm Embry has great timing.
We went and sat down with Kim. "Hay where's Jar?" I asked "O… ahm… he…he had to talk to Mr. Rodrigaz about the English paper." ….Weird he gave his paper in yesterday … whatever. "Hay look over there." I looked up and saw a scowling Paul looking our way. Shit…. It's harder seeing him than I thought. Embry bumped my shoulder and I looked at him. "So what are we doing this weekend?" he asked. "Well… I have no idea ...what ARE we doing?" I asked thankful for the distraction.
It was Friday. The week went by pretty normally I didn't see Paul that much. Maybe I was avoiding him … maybe he was avoiding me... "Laurena" Guess I was the one avoiding. Inner bitch… Inner bitch … I chant in my head as I close my locker and slowly turn. Shit he looks good standing there with his signature smirk. "Paul" I say keeping my voice calm. "So… how's it going?" he asked wiggling his brows. "Do you have a point to this conversation Paul?" his smirk grows. "Well my baby, I was thinking me and you could get together tonight." … I can't believe this fucking asshole! I feel like slapping him, trying to show possession over me. "O, I'm sorry Paul we already have plans." Embry says appearing next to me putting his arm around me sharing his strength. "Right Laur?" I smile up at him. "We sure do babe…." I heard Paul hates girls calling him baby or babe or whatever… He never seemed to mind when I called him that. We then turn and walk away. "And I'm not your baby Paul" I yell over my shoulder. Low blow I know!
"Babe huh?" Embry asks as we walk through the parking lot a small smile playing at his lips. "Hay, it sounded good at the time" I giggle.
Kim came by a few hours later. "Wow you look hot!" I say as she comes in. She does a small turn and smiles "Not looking to bad yourself!" "Thanks. Ready to go?" "Yeah, we need a good party" she says.
If there is one thing everyone knows about La Push bondfires it's that there is always alcohol … lots and lots of alcohol. This one was no exception. We were all drinking, talking and listening to the music blaring through the speakers. After a while Embry grabs my hand and pulls me to the dance floor. He starts dancing and as I stand there trying to remember the songs name…. Satisfaction by Benny Benassi… "Fuck Em you little Perv!" He just smiles innocently at me. "Tonight you better thank the fucking beer gods!" I say wickedly before turning around and grinding my ass against his crotch. "Fuuuuuck…. Thank you beer gods!" he whispered in my ear.
I look up and see Paul standing at the edge of the party. I look into his dark eyes which seem to be reflecting the fire. Screw him! I heard he fucked Megan Jones in the janitor's closet on Tuesday. "He looks pissed" Embry whispers. "Should probably give him a reason to be." I say, grinding against him again. Before turning around, jumping into his arms and crushing my lips to his.
I woke up on Saturday in my bed. "aghh…" My head is fucking killing me. I slowly got up and started making my way down the stairs. I hear a snoring sound coming from the couch. I sneakily peak over…. Embry. Damn that boy is big! His feet are hanging off of the couch as is his one arm. "See something you like?" "Shit Em you scared me!"… he grabs my waist and drags me on top of him. "So how are you feeling?" he asks with a bright smile. "Feel like your smiles to bright to even look at" I reply. "Lightweight."
"Em … I'm so sorry about last night… " I say suddenly feeling like shit about using him. "I'm not." he replies smiling even more. "Em…. I like you… But I don't want like a relation… " "Whoo… stop right there" he interrupts me. "Em I…" "Laur… sure I had a crush on you but that's over. I still think you're hot but I know that me and you aren't soul mates … or whatever." "Why did you make out with me then?" I ask. "Like I said…. You are smoking hot and we are friends … I see no problem with some innocent fun. It doesn't make me uncomfortable." He says deadly serious. "Thank fucking goodness!" I scream hugging him. We get off of the couch and start towards the kitchen. "So…you over the crush huh." I ask smiling. "Yeah… but you make me a good breakfast and I might just let you make out with me again" he said before slapping my ass and running past me into the kitchen. "Perv" I mutter under my breath. "Yeah but you love it!" Fuck… boy has ears like a hawk!
