Chapter 12
Embry's point of view
Well I did not expect Kai to say she loves me. She's so perfect with her amazing personality and beautiful looks. Her ocean blue eyes, light tan skin, and wavy dark brown hair make every guy drool over her. She's kind, caring, smart, strong, brave, beautiful, and so so much more. I love her and I'm glad she loves me. Now I just need to tell her what I really am.
Kai's point of view
After our date Embry and I went our separate ways but he's coming over tonight so I'll get to see him again today. I text Seth asking if Emma's still there and he says yes. I sigh and drive to my aunts.
"You really are a lazy bum," I say walking into the house.
"I don't like walking," Emma complains and I roll my eyes at her.
"How was the date?" aunt Sue asks.
"Wonderful," I say and she smiles.
"I'm glad you two are happy together," she says.
"Me too," I say.
"Leah's upstairs if you want to see her," she says and I nod. I walk up the stairs and open Leah's bedroom door. I see her laying on her bed flipping through a magazine.
"What's up girly?" I ask.
"Not much," she says and I sit on the desk chair.
"How was your date?" she asks.
"Good," I say and she raises her eyebrow.
"Good, is that all?" she asks.
"Okay maybe perfect, amazing, wonderful," I say smiling. She smiles at me and pats the bed. I walk over to her and sit next to her. I then go on to tell her about Embry and I's secret relationship.
"Are you sure you're not moving too fast, I mean how long have you known him?" she asks.
"About a month or so; I guess you're right," I say thinking it over.
"I just don't want you to get hurt," she says and I frown at her. I hug her tight and feel some tears fall onto my shirt.
"I know Embry's a good guy, but he's still a guy," she says.
"I hear you but Embry wouldn't hurt me," I say.
"That's what I thought with Sam, but look where that got me," she says and my heart breaks.
"I'm going to slow it down a little, but I do love him," I say.
"I know and he loves you," she says and I smile. We hug tight and stay like that for a while until Emma comes up saying she wants to head home.
"Come around again soon," aunt Sue says hugging me.
"Will do aunty," I say.
"See ya," Seth says. We get in my car and drive off to our house.
Leah's point of view
I need to talk with Embry. I know he and Kai like each other and I can see they clearly love each other but I'm just worried. After what happened with me, Sam and Emily I'm cautious. I can see the love in each of their eyes but I want to know what's in their hearts. I phase knowing Embry's on patrol alone.
"What's up Leah?" he asks.
"We need to speak," I say.
"About what?" he asks.
"You and my cousin," I say.
"You know I wouldn't hurt her," he says.
"Not about that," I say.
"Do you love her?" I ask.
"Yes, with all my heart," he says.
"I need to see it," I say. He shows me all his thoughts and memories of him and Kai. I can feel the love and adoration he has for her. My own heart swells at all the love.
"I really do love her Leah," he says.
"I know you do," I say.
"Are you okay with us dating?" he asks.
"Yes but if you hurt her you're dead," I say.
"You don't have to worry about that," he says.
"Good," I say.
"When should I tell her the secret?" he asks and I freeze.
"She hates when people lie, but doesn't handle big changes easy," I say.
"She seemed fine when she moved here and a few weeks ago," he says and I feel a tug at my heart. He's talking about when my dad died.
"She's hiding it; she thinks she needs to take care of her father and sister," I say.
"I knew she was lying," he says.
"She thinks she needs to take her mother's place, cook, clean, everything," I say.
"I'm going to invite her to the bonfire and then I'll tell her," he says.
"I think that's a good idea," I say and head back home.
"Hey Leah, thanks," he says.
"You're welcome," I say and phase back.
Kai's point of view
It's been hours and I've been thinking of my relationship with Embry. Are we moving too fast? Leah thought so. Maybe we should slow down a little. I mean I have only known him for a little more than a month and a half. And we've only been dating for like a week or so. Maybe Leah is right. Why did she say something, now I'm freaking out!
"Kai?" a voice asks and I see that Embry's here.
"Oh hi, I didn't hear you," I say and he comes over to me.
"Are you okay?" He asks sitting across from me.
"Fine," I say.
"Don't lie it'll make your nose grow," he says and I chuckle. Then I stop and look down at my hands.
"Do you think we're moving too fast?" I ask not looking up.
"Do you?" he asks.
"Maybe a little," I say.
"We can slow down," he says.
"That's the thing though we've only known each other for a short time but it feels like forever, and I don't want to slow down," I say and he smiles.
"I feel the same way," he says and I smile.
"I say we forget about time and just live in the moment," I say crawling into his lap.
"I like that idea," he says and we kiss.
After a short make out session we talk for a little and then I start to fall asleep.
"Goodnight love," Embry says kissing my head.
"Night Embry," I say and close me eyes.
