Part 2
I was in the kitchen preparing a plate to take outside when I heard the whispers. We were having a pack and imprint or partner barbecue and almost everyone was in the back yard enjoying themselves, all apart from the two people who were in mine and Sam's bathroom.
"Embry what are you doing?" Leah's voice drifted from behind the bathroom door and there was the sound of movement.
"Is it a crime to want to get down and dirty with my desirable fiancée?" Embry replied in a husky voice and there was the sound of flesh hitting flesh. Leah must have punched his arm.
"It is at a crowded party in my ex-boyfriends bathroom when there are impressionable ears around like Claire's," Leah scolded him, her voice unimpressed by Embry ardent pleading.
There was silence and Leah gave a giggle that erupted into a soft moan.
"Embry," Leah snapped and there was movement and it sounded like Embry pressed Leah up against the bathroom door.
"Come on Clearwater, be a bit more adventurous," Embry encouraged her and Leah's giggle was reply enough for him.
I quickly grabbed my plate of food wanting to escape before it got anymore raunchy when Jacob came into the kitchen.
"Where are Leah and Embry?" he asked curiously looking around for them.
"Busy, very busy," I said my eyes drifting to the bathroom and Leah let out another soft moan.
Jacob's face flashed to one of pain and regret which he quickly hid behind a goofy smile for my benefit. Poor Jacob. he had chosen to follow his destiny as Sam had; Renesmee's laughter tinkling from the backyard was proof of that, but I could see at times Jacob regretted falling into line so easily. Leah had been standing there begging him to pick her and defy his destiny, and Jacob had tried, he had tried a lot harder than Sam had, but in the end he had been unable to resist the imprinting. He had broken Leah's heart, just like Sam did. Then Embry had come along; brash Embry who didn't cringe when Leah was cruel to him, who took Leah's rejection of him over and over until he broke through her wall and made her fall in love with him. Leah was content and happy and very much in love. Things were finally going right for her. I patted Jacob on the back and gestured to the back yard.
"Let's just give them a couple of minutes," I said leading him out to the backyard and Jacob looked back at the door to the bathroom regretfully before following me to the backyard. Jacob went to sit by himself. He looked a little dazed.
I walked the plate of food around and it disappeared quickly considering the party was full of shape shifters with enormous appetites. I put the plate down and walked over to Sam who was working the barbecue. I kissed his cheek gently and Sam looked around at the partygoers.
"Where did Leah and Embry disappear to?" Sam demanded his eyes searching for them and I smiled a little.
"They wanted some alone time," I replied emphasizing the 'alone' time and Sam stiffened.
"In our house?" he growled and I nodded, wondering at his strange reaction.
"The bathroom," I informed him and Sam gritted his teeth angrily.
"That is unacceptable," he hissed under his breath putting down his tongs and I placed a restraining hand on his arm to stop him from making a scene.
"Sam leave them, they are in love," I protested and Sam looked down at my face and instantly relaxed. I knew it was because that was what I wanted.
"I would never treat you like that," Sam told me, leaning over to kiss my forehead.
Embry and Leah appeared from inside the house, arms wrapped around each other. Leah had a blush on her cheeks and Embry was grinning widely. Embry kissed Leah's temple affectionately as they parted ways. Leah joined Renesmee who was standing with Kim and Rachel, throwing a relaxed arm around Renesmee's shoulder and whispering to her. Renesmee covered her mouth in shock and laughed shaking her head. Embry went over to sit with Quil, but his eyes never left Leah. I looked over at Sam; he was frowning at them both. Sam was right; he would never treat me like that. He would never treat me like he needed me desperately because I was his by imprinting.
I think that I really did envy Leah Clearwater.
