We soon all ended up at the small table once Charlie arrived. He and Amy immediately hit it off. It turns out Amy was really into sports. She used to play football when she was younger, which was hard to picture someone her size getting tackled by guys the size of Embry. I was glad Charlie liked Amy. Maybe now he wouldn't be so worried about me. As they talked about their favorite basketball team, Embry and I were playing 20 questions. Charlie was so focused on Amy he didn't realize we were sitting so close.

We were on our second round of this game. The first one was supernatural questions. I asked him things about werewolf life and he asked me about vampires. A tremor had rocked through his body only once as he tried to control his werewolf side. It was to be expected since he had asked about how I felt when James bit me. Luckily I was able to relax him before the adults noticed anything. Round two was simpler. We were asking unsupernatural questions. Outside of being a werewolf I didn't know all that much about Embry and I tried to change that everyday.

"What's your favorite animal," he asked me.

"A wolf, of course."

He smiled widely.

"What's your favorite thing to eat," I asked him.

It took him a moment to answer. "It's a little different. Pepperoni and mushroom pizza with Doritos and hot sauce piled on it."

I grimaced. "That's totally disgusting."

"Have you ever tried it?"

"No and I don't plan on it any time soon. I count that as a question by the way. Favorite TV show?"

"I miss watching TV. I haven't had too much time to do it lately. I used to watch Supernatural a lot."

"I loved that show. Dean and Sam are so hot," I said only partially joking.

He frowned. "Sam's a fag and Dean abuses women."

I let out a small laugh. "Jealous much?"

"Always." He changed the subject. "That counts as a question so I get to ask two now. What's your favorite band?"

"Um… It's a tie between Three Days Grace, Trapt, and Breaking Benjamin."

"Favorite song?"

"Um… Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, and Cold by Evans Blue. What about you?"

"Made of Glass by Trapt and Welcome To my Life by Simple Plan. Where's your favorite place to be?"

"On the beach." That one didn't take much thought. Everything was easier to go with their. I could just let everything go and watch the waves. "Where's your favorite place?"

"With you."

I felt a small smile creep upon my face. He brushed his hand against mine underneath the table. I let our fingers intertwine. His sweetness still amazed me. If everyone had an imprint people would never go through a messy break up. The one that did the imprinting couldn't possibly do anything to ever upset the imprint, if that made any since.

"What's your favorite movie?"

"Romeo and Juliet."

He smirked. "You seem like the type who would."

Before I could respond Amy and Charlie rose to their feet. For a brief moment I had forgotten they were there. Embry always had my full attention when we were together. Everything else just faded away.

"Bella, do you mind helping me with the dishes?" Amy asked.

"Not at all." I dropped Embry's hand, much to his dismay and gathered our plates. Charlie said something to Embry but the door swung shut before I could hear what. I had a feeling they had planned this. They wanted to get us separated to find out what was going on between us. This should be interesting.

Amy washed while I dried. "So," she started. "How long have you been dating Embry?" She got straight to the point.

"I'm not." I wasn't really sure if I had lied or not. What was the definition of dating? We did hang out with each other everyday and sometimes went out to dinner when I didn't feel like cooking. We missed each other when we were separated. We held each others hands and hugged. He knew stuff about me that other people didn't. We were close. He was in love with me and I was slowly warming up to the idea. Did that mean we were dating?

"Hm…You must be something important to him. I think he's finally clean."

"Clean?" She truly did believe her son was a druggy. That was hard to picture. Embry wasn't the type to stick stuff in his veins. I wasn't even sure a needle would piece his skin.

"Yes. I know he was…using. He admitted it awhile ago. I have a feeling you made him stop. He's a totally new person than he was a few weeks ago or even before he started the drugs. He's usually off with those friends of his doing only god knows what. I use to never see him at home. It must be you…"

I wasn't sure what to say. She thought I had done such a great thing for her son. I wonder if she would be so happy if she knew I was only complicating his existence. "Since I have been with him he hasn't touched any drugs," I settled. A smile spread across her face.

"I knew it! He's even out of his depression. I'm so glad he has finally found someone who makes him happy. You are really good for him. Sometimes I find him in his bed before I go to work. It's amazing"

When we finished we returned to the living room. Embry was nodding at something Charlie said to him. When they saw us large smiles spread across their faces. I understood Embry's but Charlie's threw me off guard. He has been acting very strange lately.

"It's getting pretty late. I should be heading out," Charlie said. Amy walked over to them and started talking. I didn't bother listening because Embry walked over to me. His hand slipped around mine. I smiled up at him. "Bells, you coming?"

"No, but I'll be home soon." He didn't seem to like my answer but said nothing. He frowned at Embry and I's closeness before leaving. Amy excused herself to get to bed.

I sat next to Embry on the couch. "What'd Charlie ask?" I said warily. I was sure I didn't wasn't to know.

"He asked if we were dating then he told me to take care of you or he'd hunt me down."

"What did you say?"

"I told him that we weren't together but he didn't believe me. For the most part I just pretended to be afraid. It's not like I couldn't dodge a bullet."

I smiled. "I guess it wasn't as bad as I expected."

"What'd my mom say?"

"Well according to her I cleaned you up and stopped you from being depressed. She was mostly just happy that you come home."

"Cool. I knew she would like you." He suddenly stood and held out his hand. "Come on."

"Where are we going?" I asked as he pulled me toward the door.

"I'm going to show you how I change."
