Chapter 8
Kai's point of view
The week has dragged on but it's finally Friday night! I told Embry I'd meet him at his house in a few minutes so dad won't see him. I'm dressed in purple skinny jeans, a black tank top, a black blazer, and black with white stripes shoes. I also have on a necklace, black feather hoop earrings, and a ring that says love.
"You look good sis," Emma says coming in my room.
"Thanks, do you think it's too much?" I ask.
"Nope, perfect," she says
"Do you think Embry likes me or just feels bad because of uncle Harry?" I ask.
"I know he likes you," she says and I smile.
"Come I have to get going," I say grabbing my black bag. We head downstairs and dad looks to us.
"Where are you going?" he asks.
"I'm going to the movies in Port Angeles," I say.
"With who?" he asks.
"A couple of friends," I say.
"Alright have fun but be home by eleven," he says.
"Okay thanks, bye," I say and head outside into my car.
I follow the directions Embry gave me and arrive at a small but nice home. It's green with a white trim. I get out and knock on the door.
"Coming," a voice yells. A lady in her early forties late thirties opens the door.
"Hi is Embry here?" I ask.
"Yes he is, who are you?" she asks.
"I'm Kai Clearwater," I say.
"Oh you're the chief's daughter," she says and I nod.
"What are you doing here?" she asks.
"Embry and I are going to the movies," I answer.
"Oh well I'll go get him, please come in," she says and I enter the house. She goes down the hall and I look around. There are pictures hanging on the walls and I look closer. Most of them are of Embry when he was little.
"Kai," a voice says and I look up.
"Hey Embry," I say smiling.
"You look beautiful," he says and I blush.
"You two have fun, but not too much fun," Ms. Call says and I blush harder. Even Embry blushes a little at his mother.
"Mom!" Embry says.
"I'm just saying," she says.
"Come on Kai, bye mom," Embry says and leads me outside.
"I'm so sorry about her, she worries too much about me," he says.
"It's okay," I say. He stops and I see that there's a motorcycle in front of us.
"Your ride?" I ask.
"Yep, fixed it up myself," he says.
"Cool," I say. He hands me a helmet and I look at him.
"What scared?" he asks.
"No, I've just never been on one before," I say.
"It's not scary and I'm right here with you," he says and I smile. I put on the helmet and he hops on.
"You should put on a helmet," I say.
"I'll be safe, trust me," he says.
"Okay," I say and get on. I wrap my arms around his waist and smile. He starts the engine and looks back to me.
"Hold on tight," he says and I do. Then he takes off toward Port Angeles theater.
The whole way I was smiling and holding on tightly to Embry. All too soon it's over and we're pulling into the parking lot at the movies. He shuts off the engine and puts the kickstand down.
"You can let go now," he says chuckling and I blush letting go.
"Right sorry," I say and get off. He gets off too and I take my helmet off. I hand him the helmet and he places it under the seat. We walk to the theater and get in line.
"So what movie?" he asks.
"Um whatever you want," I say.
"Ladies first," he says.
"Okay Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest" I say.
"Really?" he asks.
"Ya," I say.
"I would've thought you'd choose a romance movie," he says.
"Well there's no good one out," I say and he chuckles. We get our tickets and head inside.
"Do you want anything?" he asks and I nod. We get in line and get a popcorn, two drinks, and a bag of licorice. We get our seats at the back and wait for the movie to start.
"So what's your favorite movie?" he asks.
"Um Star Wars," I say.
"So you're not a girly girl," he says.
"Yep, well I do love shoes," I say and he smiles.
"Favorite color?" he asks.
"Blue," I say.
"Favorite food?" he asks.
"Hmm, strawberries," I say.
"Favorite animal?" he asks.
"Butterflies," I say.
"Why?" he asks.
"They so beautiful and graceful," I say and he nods.
"What's yours?" I ask.
"Um a wolf," he says.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yep," he says.
"Interesting," I say.
"You you not like them?" he asks worried.
"Um they're okay but haven't they been killing people?" I ask.
"It's not wolves, it's something else," he says clenching his fists.
"Okay, um what's your favorite food?" I ask changing subjects.
"Anything," he says.
"Even brussel sprouts?" I ask.
"Okay not everything," he says and I chuckle. The lights turn off and the movie starts.
Half way into the movie Embry put his arm around my shoulders. I blushed and smiled at his action. The movie's over now and we're walking around town.
"So have you lived in La Push your whole life?" I ask.
"Ya, my mother came to La push when she was pregnant with me," he says.
"What about your father?" I ask and he frowns.
"I never knew him, my mom never talks about him," he says and I frown.
"Oh Embry I'm so sorry, I didn't know!" I apologize.
"It's okay Kai, it doesn't really bother me," he says.
"Um do you have any other family around here?" I ask.
"My mother's family lives in Makah but I've never met any of them, they don't want anything to do with my mother since she got knocked up," he says and I frown.
"That's terrible!" I say.
"Ya," he says.
"Why don't we head back?" I offer and he nods. We walk back in silence and I can't help but think how awful Embry has had it. He hasn't any family besides his mom. We reach his bike and I take the helmet.
"Hey don't worry about me," he says noticing my sad face.
"I'm just sad that you don't have any family beside your mother," I say.
"The gang's my family, Sam, Emily, Jared, Paul, Kim, Jake, Quil, Seth, Leah all of them," he says and I nod.
"Don't worry okay," he says.
"Okay," I say.
"Come on," he says and hops on. I hop on too and hold on tight to him.
When we arrive at his house I'm sad again. I had a great time and I don't want it to end!
"Did you have a good time?" he asks.
"I really did," I say and he smiles.
"Good, maybe we could do it again sometime," he says.
"I'd be up for it," I say.
"How about Sunday afternoon," he asks.
"Sure," I say smiling. We lock eyes and I get lost in them like the first time we met. He slowly bends down and my breathing slows down. Is he going to kiss me? I hope so, I really like him! We're a centimeter apart and I close the remaining space between us. His lips are warm and soft. I slowly move my arms around his neck and he puts his hands on my hips. He pulls me close and I can feel his warmth spread throughout my body.
"EMBRY!" a voice yells and we jumps apart. We turn to the house and see his mother angry. Uh oh!
"Mom!" Embry groans.
"I told you two not to have too much fun," she says coming over to us. I blush and Embry growls? Is that normal?
"Mom we were just kissing," he defends.
"I don't care, she is the chief of police's daughter, if you got her knocked up what do you think he would do to you?" she asks and I blush harder. Why does she think he'd do this? Has he done this sort of thing before?
"Mom stop," Embry says.
"I'm sorry Kai but you should leave, Embry and I need to talk," she says.
"Alright, um bye Embry," I say and head to my car. I get in and watch Embry and his mother go into his house. I hope didn't get him in trouble.
