So, I am really trying to write more since I feel like I have been abandoning this story, and Out Of Control, lucky enough inspiration came easy to this chapter, so enjoy and thank you all for your reviews; they honestly motivate me.

Chapter 8

Dinner with a Huge Guy and His Mum

It took my mother barely one minute to agree to let me stay at someone's, who she hasn't met, house; so basically a stranger. As soon as I mentioned Embry Call's name she was all happy and what not.

Since he's in with Sam Uley and Emily, which when you think about is really shallow I mean what is next selling me to the mayor to be his lover cause he has nice social standing?

I'm being dramatic, damn Luca, but it still annoyed me when mum was so happy about staying for dinner.

She was basically dying for me to stay; I think she would have made me stay even if I was so sick I couldn't even stand up.

I hang up the phone as soon as I realized she could not care less, and forced a smile on my face. I mean Embry's mum is too nice to be a bitch too, a little full on, but really nice.

Embry's mum, is waiting for my answer, as she sits down at the table, both Embry and her are waiting for me to join them. In fact she's glaring at Embry, obviously telling him if he starts eating he dies.

I would laugh at the both of them. Embry's slightly pouting face, and his mother's hard glare, if I didn't hate Embry Call so much, I would have laughed.

If Luca new about this he'd die, and probably turn it into some kind of R rated idea in his head.

Sometimes he can be so sick, then again his favorite song is Shake It, and when you really listen to the lyrics, gross. I mean, one day I started listening to the words when we were in the car and I felt like I needed to take a shower afterwards. Luca thinks I'm a prude, but I'm honestly not, I mean I've never been kissed sure, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I don't feel the need to talk about sex all the time.

I can just picture Luca's face when I tell him tomorrow, on second thought maybe I won't.

I probably will its better then hearing about how Andrew Pale is in love with him but just doesn't know it, like I believe that. Sometimes Luca can be so deluded, he just isn't a fan of logic at all which will end him up in trouble.

"So, your parents agreed?" Embry's mum asks?

"Yes," I admit, though I half think about lying and bolting, but the food does smell good.

I stare at the pasta. Besides Embry's mum is fine, well to be honest I like her, but it feels sort of crazy since I completely hate her son. Who is such an idiot and stalks me.

How did she end up with a son like Embry?

"Oh good, well sit, sit," she says, gesturing to the empty chair, and I sit down as soon as I'm told too. I get the feeling as nice as she is you wouldn't want to disobey Embry's mum.

"This looks beautiful," I say, starring at the food.

Embry looks down at his food and I can tell he's just dying to start. He's starring at it longingly. "It'd be better if I could eat it," Embry mumbles.

Embry's mum turns and gives him a glare before turning back to me and beaming like I am amazing.

"You can start whenever you like," Embry's mum says, and for Embry's benefit I take a bite. Embry looks over at me, smiles, and then digs into his food.

"Ignore his eating habits," Embry's mum says, rolling his eyes.

I hear Embry grumble something, but it's hard to hear since he has food in his mouth, disgusting. He almost looks cute with a piece of sauce on his chin, which is strange to think of a huge guy like him as cute.

What am I thinking; there is nothing remotely cute about Embry, nothing remotely cute at all.

"So Miss Call, have you had a nice day," I say, trying to be as nice as humanly possible.

"Miss Call, please, call me Natasha. Nat if you like any thing, but Miss Call, that's my mothers name," she explains, "and I'll die the day I become my mother," she then adds.

"Oh right, Natasha, how was your day," I correct.

"Good, good work can be such a hassle."

"Where do you work?"

"Forks Hospital, I'm a nurse for the elderly, so I mostly go visit there houses and tend to them."

I could just picture her with old people; she seems like the kind of person that nothing of no one could ever faze her, like she's totally calm around people. She's the kind of person who easily connects with other people.

I know some people get freaked out by old people, I never had that problem, in fact I get a long with them better then other people. There not always thinking about stupid things people do my age, I'm an old soul I guess maybe that's it.

I just relate to people better who have more on there mind than which boy likes them and have they gained weight. People who appreciate the fact that I know a lot about History and I try hard in school.

"That sounds like a nice job," I comment.

"I like it, though Embry here has a thing about me working at Forks Hospital."

"I just think that you could find better work, that place isn't that nice, somewhere that appreciates you " Embry says looking annoyed.

"Yes well I'll start looking for a job that appreciates me when we don't have any bills to pay."

Embry sighs with annoyance at his mother, and she glares at him for a second, warning him not to start something I think, she quickly turns to me and changes the subject.

"So, Maria, I hear you're very smart."

I've been told I'm smart my whole entire life but hearing it as a statement is always awkward. I mean I am smart, I guess, and all but it feels odd. Sometimes that people think Smart Maria talk about high expectations, I like having expectations for myself not others for me.

"Not really," I say blushing.

I can't imagine Embry coming home and going on and on about how smart I am unless it's in a negative type of way you know, like she's such a teachers pet or something.

"Yes, you are. She's really smart, probably the smartest in our year," Embry corrects.

"You don't need to be modest dear, being smart is something to be proud of," Natasha tells me.

I don't say anything because I don't really know what to say to that.

"So do you know what you want to do after school?"

"No, but I'm thinking seriously about Law, or maybe being a Doctor, even Journalism, and then there's Business I don't honestly know, but I hope to get into an Ivy League school."

"Impressive, all Embry ever wants to do is hang out with his friends and dive off cliffs, when he was young I use to try and get him into art and reading, but he hates it all he's much of a sports guy, outdoorsy. He used to be amazing at football, but he quit the team which is such a shame because…"

"Mum," Embry says, clearly embarrassed.

"What? I'm proud of you, you'd think he'd be happy since I love him, take care of him, feed him, keep a roof over his head, but no I'm always being so un-cool," Natasha says, rolling her eyes

"Do you get along with your parents?" she suddenly asks.

"Yes," I reply automatically, I mean I do I guess, as well as the next person, gets on with there parent's probably more so with my father, but again I'm fine with my mum, we don't have any huge screaming matches or anything.

"That's so lovely."

"Um thanks"

The sound of foot steps make us all look up, and there stands Jacob and Quil, they look at all of us with a huge smile on there faces then down at the food with a strong need almost.

"Boys," Natasha says, and jumps out of her sit to greet them, showering them with hugs and kisses. "Have you two been good, not giving Billy any trouble or your parents Quil?" she asks.

"Nope, we're angels," Jacob says.

"Good, now come eat boys there's plenty," she says.

It doesn't take long for two more members to join the table and start to dig in.

"You should become a cook," Quil says with food in his mouth.

"You're just buttering me up so I cook more."

"Not true Nat," Quil says with a laugh.

"So, you boys been well?"

"Great," Jacob informs. "We only came over here cause we heard Maria was here."

The whole table turns to look at me except for Embry, who looks like he wants to kill Jacob and Quil.

Why would they need to see me in the first place, we barely talk at all. I honestly don't understand, I should have just gone home this is all just too weird.

"Oh are you guy's friends also?" Natasha asks, obviously happy with the idea that I met Embry through Quil or Jacob.

"Not really, but like you we like to know the main girl in Embry's life," Jacob says, smirking.

What does he mean main girl? I barely know him, I mean he's just messing with me I guess that makes me his main girl.

Embry glares at Jacob and then I see Jacob wince, its obvious Embry has kicked him, Natasha seems to not have noticed.

"I know I have been dying to meet you, but Embry is so persistent that I wasn't allowed to."

"Yeah, I know he's like that so private with her," Quil chips in.

"Guys we're not a couple," Embry booms, looking really pissed off. I've never really seen Embry angry before, he always seems just to be going with the flow rather than anything else.

I mean yeah, he gets into trouble, but he's not quiet or anything just not really an angry person.

"Oh right friends," Embry's mum says, winking and then smiling brightly at me.

"Mum, she's my tutor."

"Oh my can you imagine their children, with his height and her eyes their sons well be hunted down by the girls," Natasha gushes.

The thought of having children with Embry, having anything to do with Embry in any kind or romantic way, is insane. Why does everyone think that, what is wrong with them? Embry doesn't like me anyway, we're too opposite for either of us to look at each other in a romantic light.

"Mum," Embry yells.

"That was a joke sweetheart, though it is true when you think about it."

"I have to go, but thank you for dinner," I say.

"Oh, but you only just got here"

"I know, but I have homework, um, thanks again," I mumble, and then race out of that house as fast as I can. I mean, Embry and me? Impossible…right?
