PERFECT SYMMETRY
35. Two friends.
"I just don't get why you're being so secretive"Leah complained. "And I thought you said you wanted to walk with me." She was currently sitting on Sam's truck, while he drove them to the cliffs.
"Well we did walk"Sam said softly. Leah snorted the walk, was from Rachel's place to her own, which was less than a ten minute walk. Then he had insisted on having a quick snack, and abandoned her to have like a twenty minute phone call
"And I didn't think you'd like to walk all the way there"He had a point, a dress and heals were not the best choice for hiking.
"Okay forget about the walking. I'm going to ask again and I want a straight answer. Why are we going to the cliffs?"
"You'll see when we get there"Sam laughed."You really need to work on your patience"
"Shut up"Leah laughed "We can't all be mighty and calmed like you."
"No worries. I know perfection is hard to come along"
"Stop being such a jerk"Leah said but her laughter said otherwise. She was enjoying the playful banter with Sam. He was always so serene and uptight around others, but sometimes with her, the walls would come down and she would see this Sam. The conceited and sometimes annoying version, but also very fun to be with, Sam.
Somehow they get to be Leah and Sam, without actually being Leah and Sam. Without the weight of the world in their shoulders, if it's only for a few moments. Without the pack responsabilities, the past, their love, Emily or Jacob.
They are two people who've known each other since forever. Two friends.
Sam parks and they both climb out the truck at the same time.
"Well what I'm supposed to be looking at genius?" He chuckles and joins her, taking her hand.
"Would you do something for me, without asking or protesting Lee" And maybe it's because its Christmas, or because she is happy, or because Sam isn't making her angry but she finds herself nodding.
Sam grins and pulls out what appears to be a tie, and he's handing her two earplugs and blindfolding her.
"Present time"Leah groans but feels excited all the same. Sam takes her hand, and leads her through the small trail fast. Almost running.
Sight deprived and deaf, she has a hard time keeping up with Sam. When she no longer feels foilage casting a shadow over them, and the last rays of sunlight on her skin, Sam releases his hold.
"Now"It's a whisper in her ear, and she's ripping the tie and she almost chokes on the spot.
"What exactly am I supposed to be looking at ?"The emotion leaks through her voice. Seth, Quil, and Embry are standing in front of her. Sam nudges her in their direction and she finally notices Seth holding what looks like a rolled poster with a red ribbon.
"Merry Christmas" Her little brother says handing her the poster.
"Well open it"Quil nudges her.
They scroll down revealing what appear to be house plans. "What's this?"
"You always did say the cliffs offered a beatiful sight to wake up to"Sam says.
a/N: it doesn't end here.
