Chapter Four: EPOV (Embry)
Leah had this crazed look in her eyes when we caught up to her. She was panting, and hovering a dead-looking body. The worst part was Leah saw me staring at her naked body, and I was blushing like crazy when she caught my eye. She smiled timidly and picked up the other girl. Seth had got her clothes and he was now watching the girl.
I admit I was a little shocked when Leah told me what happened. But my number one concern was if I imprinted on this girl. My feelings for Leah would wash away, and I didn't want that. She was a beautiful independent woman, and I loved that about her. I always had dreams about her that would make any man need to take a VERY cold shower. It was wrong and I knew it. But I was so good at hiding my thoughts it didn't matter.
I never did "imprint" on Sydney. I thought I did, because she was pretty and I loved her, but the love didn't last long because she slept with Paul. I don't have a short temper, so I easily let her go. I think I only thought I liked her because I wanted to forget about Leah. I wanted to heal her broken heart, take all the bitterness out of her. But a lot of guys would be better at it, and Sam would push all those guys away. But he couldn't push me away. He can't protect two girls, Emily wouldn't have it and Leah would try to kill him. She doesn't know that everytime she broke up with a guy it was Sam's fault. He'd scare them away.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Leah sat next to me, fully clothed. (Thank God.) She nudged me playfully and I smiled. I couldn't help but notice the way her tank top held her body so tightly. She wore sweat pants and simple tennis shoes. I swear this woman is trying to kill me.
"Embry, you didn't have to follow Seth. I was perfectly fine." She said. I stared at her lips while she talked and my body begged me to kiss her. But then I realzed what she said and I shook my head completely dazed.
"I know Leah. But… your so… I love you and… I can't imagine you hurt. Seth suggested that we just check on you by calling but when he tried you didn't answer. He jumped to conclusions, and we went to find you." I said. I know she didn't want to know the whole thing, but I wanted her to know I cared. Without having to say it really.
"Hey, do you know who Ephraim Black is?" A soft female voice asked. I quickly turned and stood, and Leah followed suit.
"Umm… yeah… he is uhhh, a chief of our tribe… he's kinda dead." Leah stammered. I chuckled. She's sounded so stupid.
"Oh… crap." The girl muttered. I stared her down as she frowned and stared of into space.
"Hey, umm, what's your name?" I asked. It was Leah's turn to laugh. I shot her daggers which made her giggle a little louder.
"Embry are you flirting?"Leah asked between chuckles. I looked at her, confused. "Probably not, your not blushing. Hey but what is your name though?"
"Amber. Why you need to know?" She asked in a harsh voice. Leah smiled and said "I like this chick."
I laughed. Leah turned to me, and pushed me away. I stared at her while she made gestures with her hands that I didn't understand.
"Ugh, go be wolf Embry dumbass! Jacob's gotta know we taking a new wolf to La Push." She said in an annoyed voice. I made an 'oh' with my mouth and took one step before thinking it over. Amber was smiling like crazy an muttered something like "Idiot". I grabbed Leah's hand so she couldn't slap me and kissed her cheek.
She gasped and looked at me like I was insane before I jogged off into the dense part of the woods.
