Chapter 14: Friends or more?

Hey guys I know it has been awhile since I have updated. My computer got a really bad virus and it messed up the chapters for my story I had written. So, now I have to re-write them. Also, my computer is still down but my friend let me barrow her computer to update this story. I also wanted to thank everyone who has added me on their favorite story and author list.

I love all my readers and I hope you enjoy this chapter. Show me your love and leave me a review please.

I was awoken by a thump beside Quil's bed. I became automatically alarmed and opened my eyes only to see a shadow approach me. I squinted my eyes to see more clearly as to what was there. "I'm home Claire," Quil's voice said coming from his bedroom door.

When I turned to face Quil he was standing by the door in only his boxers.

My hormones were starting to act up on me. I got up from the bed and stepped closer to Quil. Just looking at him with his hair tousled and his broad chest sticking out was a prize for me. He was really testing my will power. Oh! Darn it!

I couldn't take it anymore, so I crushed my lips against his. His soft warm lips felt like my own little piece of heaven. Quil surprised me by responding with a heated kiss.

I let my hands freely roam over his smooth chest and down his sides. This caused Quil to moan into my own mouth. Suddenly, Quil turned us around and threw me onto the bed.

His eyes were dark and his eyes were clouded with lust and desire. Yes! Today, I would have all of what was sexy hunky man meat Quil!

I looked at Quil, and he was standing at the edge of the bed. Out of nowhere, I hear the Chicken dance song. WTF? Then Quil is no longer there standing in front of me. Instead, Yordy is there with a chicken suit on and dancing.

I was so mad I yelled, "Yordy!"

And that is how I woke up from my strange dream. My phone had gone off and it read that I had one missed call and one new text. Both of them were from Yordy. It was ten in the morning and Quil wasn't even in bed.

Hey Claire! I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall with me today -Yordy

I thought about for a second and decided 'Ahh sure'. I texted him saying it sounded good and to please pick me up around three in the afternoon.

I got out of the bed and headed toward the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and laughed at my own bed head hair. My hair was sticking out at ends and looked rather wild. I quickly brushed my teeth and grabbed a brush to disentangle the mess I call my hair.

My stomach growled alerting me it wanted to eat. I was hungry since I had barely eaten anything last night. I walked toward the kitchen and found a note on the kitchen counter. I picked it up to read what it had to say.

Clairey poo,

No, this is not Quil. Quil told me to tell you he was sorry he couldn't make it home last night Blah! Blah! Blah! Stupid leech was in our territory last night and wouldn't go away, so Sam made us stay out later. I wrote you this note since I was too lazy to tell you myself in person. Oh! Emily and Quil want you to come for dinner tonight at Emily's at six.

From your hunk,

Embry Call

P.S I mean you really don't need to come and eat; maybe there won't be enough food. If you decide to come and eat food, that could have happily been mine, bring some brownies or cookies!

I sat the note back on the counter and shook my head at the note. Embry sure was a hand full.

My stomach once again growled and I had decided to make myself a sandwich. When I was done eating I hurried myself to Quil's room.

I was standing in front of Quil's closet looking at the side that had all my clothes. I grabbed a simple dark blue V-neck and some simple dark jeans. I also picked out my black converses to wear for today. I wasn't trying to impress anybody today.

Once I was done dressing, I applied some thin black eyeliner and some strawberry lip gloss. I pulled my hair up and tied it into a side pony tail. I had to admit it looked quite exotic since the tip looked like a peacock's tail.

I texted Yordy to inform him I was ready and to pick me up at Quil's house. I grabbed my phone and keys and was ready to head out the door. I made sure to lock the front door. I really never saw a point in locking a door in La Push. There are barely any thief's in this area. I shrugged my shoulders and turned around to see Yordy pull up into the drive way.

Yordy stepped out of his car once he was parked and had a smile plastered on his handsome face.

"Hey Claire," he said as he walked toward the other side of the car to open my door for me.

"Hey! Yordy. I am glad we could hang out today," I told him honestly as I gave him a smile.

I thanked him for opening my door and hopped in his car.

We talked and laughed at things we passed by during our way to the mall.

He looked so radiant and full of light today. How was I going to tell him I only wanted to be friends? Will he be mad? Will he cry and call me a heart breaker? I felt tense and guilty after my thoughts.

Once inside the mall I felt a little more relaxed then in the car ride. We walked around and entered a few stores. We talked calmly and cracked meaningless jokes.

"Want to sit for a second to relax?" I asked him, since I was getting tired and also needed to talk to him. He nodded his head and we went to the food court area.

There weren't many people and that was a good sign. We sat in an empty table for two.

"Yordy, we need to talk," I started out. He nodded his head assuring me he was listening and to continue.

"Me and you … this," I said pointing to me and then him.

"What I am trying to say is that I only want to be friends," I blurted out. 'Way to go Claire' I thought to myself.

"About that… well… I'm so happy you said something first," Yordy said looking relieved.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I was going to tell you the same thing. I love you as a friend and only as a friend," He said looking at me.

I hopped out of my chair and embraced Yordy in a hug saying, "Oh Thank You Jesus!" Yordy hugged me back and laughed. I sat back down and laughed along with him.

"You're a real jerk you know that," Yordy said to me.

"What? How?" I asked him curiously to know what he would say.

"Well you were technically breaking up with me and you didn't even buy me anything. Usually when people break up, they would have been sitting here and would have been eating or maybe drinking something," Yordy said.

"Wow. I am officially the worst break up with someone person ever. I mean I didn't even give you a chance to throw a fry at me or dump a slushy over my head," I teased Yordy.

"I know!" Yordy exclaimed dramatically in a girly voice making me laugh.

"I'm glad that is not in the way anymore. One down one more to go," I said.

"Oh! Yea. I almost forgot about the whole Nayeli tongue attack," Yordy said smiling like a creep.

"Tongue attack? Really?" I said shaking my head at his nick names.

"So how is it going with lover boy?" Yordy asked.

"What? Who?" I said trying to fake that I didn't know who he was talking about.

"You know who I am talking about. Quil," he said raising his eyebrow at me.

"I don't know. I don't even know how to make the first move," I confessed to him. Yordy always knew I had a mini crush on Quil since I was thirteen.

"Claire Young can't pick up a guy? What has the world come to!" he exclaimed by teasing me. I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"Claire just be yourself and take a chance. The worst he can say is no or he could totally feel the same way as you do," Yordy told me trying to raise my confidence.

"You're right I should just go up to him and tackle him to the ground and straddle his waist while kissing him. Then I will tie him up and make him confess his love for me," I said trying to keep a straight face.

My straight face lasted for about ten seconds. I exploded with laughter and Yordy joined in also.

"You do that Claire. You do that," Yordy said while laughing and holding his stomach.

I loved my best friend for sure and he loved me as a best friend too.

I had really thought that Yordy would have thrown a fit for me dumping him. He sure is full of surprises, he took it so well.

We had continued to joke around so more, and I would still ask if he was really okay with us being friends. He would just roll his eyes and say yes he was okay with it. After about ten more times of asking him, I got it through my head that he was truly okay with it all. Still, a part of me doubted it a little.

Quil pov.

'This cannot be happening' I thought to myself as I watched "Good Luck Chuck." Claire's side was leaning against me and I could feel how soft her skin was. This movie and Claire were going to be the death of me.

Here I was, on the couch straining a major hard on, in my living room for all to see including Claire who was sitting next to me.

I tried many times to clear my head of all sexual thoughts that would come to me, but it seemed impossible with her sitting so close. Her smell alone was mouthwatering, but today it seemed so much stronger.

Her smell of delicious citrus was now mixed with a smell of tropical wonder.

Wait! No. No. No. S-she isn't aroused is she? I shook my head at that thought that only seemed to turn me on further more.

I tried my best to cover myself with a pillow that was nearby. I felt a little relieved when Claire said she was going to the bathroom.

I had finally managed to calm myself down after a few minutes and was about to call for Claire, since she had been gone for a while now, when suddenly Paul had announced Sam wanted to see us.

I heard Claire come down the stairs, and I quickly told her goodbye and mentioned I would be home around midnight.

It was always so hard to be away from my beautiful Claire. Every time I would be on patrol she would be on my mind. I really sucked at shielding my thoughts, but so far I had let nothing slip. I sure didn't want Sam beating me to the pulp every day.

Entering Sam's house Emily greeted us and we greeted back as always. We were all seated and Sam was the only one standing.

"So, I know most of you know why we are here," Sam started out saying.

"There has been a leech playing with the treaty line. It's like he knows we can't cross it and the Cullen's can't seem to track the scent. I am going to have to assign double patrols," Sam said in a very serious tone.

Everyone groaned as soon as Sam had told us we needed to run extra shifts for patrol. I looked over at Sam and his face was a face of concentration and worry. Emily was right by his side and seemed to be keeping him at least a little mellow.

Sam snapped out of his thoughts and looked at me and Embry.

"Quil, you and Embry will run double shift tonight," Sam said.

Embry groaned and that earned him a smack, on the back of the head, from Sam.

Everyone cleared out and Embry and I headed to the forest.

During the first hours of patrol I had time to let my thoughts free for once. Embry was in his own little world, so he wasn't paying me any attention.

I had forgotten that I had told Claire I would be home around mid-night.

What's wrong man?- Embry

I told Claire I would be home at mid night – Quil

Chill man I'll go tell her before she goes to sleep – Embry

He phased out as soon as we reached my house. Wait! I looked behind the tree were Embry had left his clothes. That asshole forgot to put clothes on!

I felt him phase back.

What the hell!- Quil

What? – Embry

You forgot to put your clothes on … Claire…. Shit! She saw you naked. – Quil

Whoa! Relax she was asleep so I left her a note…. So that's why I felt a breeze…- Embry

Hetrailed off into his own thoughts and I let out a deep sigh inrelief. I decided to lie under my bedroom window to hear Claire's breathing. I loved hearing her when she was asleep.

I was laying there for about ten minutes when a scent hit my nose and caused me to become fully alerted.

Quil what is that smell? – Embry

It was the same smell that hit me when I was seated next to Claire during the movie. The smell was driving my wolf senses crazy.

Smells so good… Wait! Claire?...Ohhh she is aroused… That's hot! – Embry

I growled at his thought. Claire is mine and only mine. My wolf was being very possessive toward his mate right now, especially since it hasn't claimed her yet.

I tried to calm my wolf down, but the smell only seemed to increase.

"YORDY!" Claire yelled from my Bedroom.

When I heard that name I felt like my heart had been wounded. She was having a dream about Yordy? A sexual dream?

She probably loves him more than me and likes being around him more.

What does he have that I don't?

Claire –Embry

He was right, Yordy had my Claire. She is probably going to marry him and then have three kids and a dog named Bob or something. I will have to watch as they live happily ever after and will be forever known as Uncle Quil. The 40 year old virgin Uncle.

You are such a drama queen. Man up and tell Claire how you feel. The worst she could say is that Yordy is a vampire and she chooses him over you…Oh wait that's just Jacob… still fight for her man – Embry

You're right I'm not going to let Yordykins win so easily- Quil

Yordykins? Really?- Embry

Shut up – Quil

The area was secure and our time for patrol had ended. It was about to be Five and I knew Claire would arrive at Emily's around six for dinner.

When Embry and I walked into the Uley home all the pack was already situated at the table waiting for the food.

I sat in my usual spot at the dining table and saved a spot for Claire. I heard a car park in the drive way and a car door slam.

Claire's scent hit me and I was glad she was finally here.

Claire walked in with a bag in her hand. Embry rushed up to her and gave her a bone crushing hug.

"You are the beast Claire!" Embry said giving Claire a kiss on the cheek and tried taking the bag from her.

"No not yet," Claire said to Embry as he pouted. I was laughing at the sight in front of me until a breeze passed by Claire and blew her scent toward me.

Her scent was there but it was masked with Yordy's scent. How come I hadn't noticed that when she got out of the car?

Car? She doesn't have a car. 'Wow' I thought to myself. I was focusing too much on Claire to think about how she got here in a car. Obviously, Yordy does have a car.

Where did they go? Were they on a date before she arrived? I could feel my jelousy travel throughout my whole body.

"You okay?" Seth asked since he took notice of my face. I shook my head and said, "Yeah I'm good." Seth just nodded his head not believing me.

CLAIRE POV.

After Embry basically attacked me I headed to my spot next to Quil at the dining table and greeted everyone as I sat down.

Quil looked a little tense when I greeted him. What crawled up his ass?

The whole dinner felt awkward with Quil acting strangely. It was time for desert and Quil refused to eat when I asked him if he wanted some brownies.

"Can I talk for a minute? Alone?" I asked Quil. I also said the word Alone louder so the pack would hopefully not eavesdrop on our conversation.

I stood up as he nodded and fallowed me out the house onto the porch.

"What is wrong?" I asked accusingly, once we stepped foot on the porch.

He looked at me and narrowed his eyes, "You were with Yordy today," he stated as he continued to look in my eyes with an accusing stare.

Was Quil jealous? Please let him be jealous! That would mean he has some sort of feely toward me in a romantic way.

"Yep, we had a serious talk that was long overdue," I said, walking down the porch steps heading toward his car. I could tell that the pack was hearing us and I wanted our conversation to be private.

"Where are you going?" Quil asked as he trailed behind me.

"We are going to Friendly's for some Ice-cream so we can talk," I said smiling up at him innocently as I turned to face him.

He laughed and said, "Fine. You know I can't resist that look."

We pulled out the drive way and rapidly arrived to our destination. I thanked Quil as he opened the door for me. I haven't been here since the whole 'Friendly's my ass' incident.

I approached the counter, where the same guy that had attended me previously, to see him looking twitchy. It was hard not to laugh at his nervous expression.

"I-It's you," he said looking startled by me.

"Yea, I want the same as last time," I said to him smiling. He simply nodded and looked at Quil.

"I'll have the same," Quil said.

I started to take out my money when I heard, "It's alright it is on the house," the 'Friendly's my ass' guy said.

I smiled and said, "Thank you very much," While he handed Quil and I our Ice-creams.

From the corner of my I could see Quil glaring at the guy.

We sat at booth and started talking.

"So, are you and Yordy on dating terms?" Quil asked interested.

"No, we only really see each other as friends." I said, "Why you interested?" I teased him.

"Maybe," Quil said in a strange voice. Wait! Is Quil Ateara flirting with me?

He looked relieved when I explained the Yordy situation further with him. He even asked me if I was happy with my decision to only keep Yordy as a friend. He continued to ask me the same question many time and every time I said I was sure I made the right choice, he would smile wide. He flirted with me once again and that alone kept a smile on my face

I continued flirting with Quil and he did the same. He drove me to my mom's apartment after we had finished our Ice-creams. He opened my door for me and walked me to the door.

"I'm really glad we talked Claire," Quil said brushing his hand down my face. He looked at me with such intensity it could perhaps burn a whole right through me.

He looked at me the Sam looked at Aunt Emily. Wait a second! Mother of fudge. Quil can still imprint since he is a wolf.

I felt Quil's breath on my lips. His lips were just inches away. His aroma surrounded my nostrils and his heat radiated off of his body.

I shook my head and stepped back. I couldn't do this. I wasn't his imprint. I had completely forgotten about imprinting.

Quil seemed to snap out of his daze and said, "Goodnight Claire," While he kissed my forehead.

"Night Quil," I said smiling at him as he departed.

I took out my key from my pocket to open the door.

The light seemed to have a dim shade to it as I stepped into the apartment. I heard a noise and was immediately alerted. I'm happy that I didn't make any noise coming in. I knew my mom would be probably sleeping already. I turned the light completely on and walked in to the living room.

"Ay Dios Mio! (OMG)," I yelled.

Oh, my mom so wasn't sleeping right now. Nope. My mom was on the couch with her button down shirt was halfway open showing her bra. Her hair looked out of place and her cheeks were flushed. Her lips looked like someone had kissed the crap out of her. Gross.

What caught me of guard was when I looked and spotted someone next to her. This person had the same half button shirt, messy hair, flushed cheeks look going on.

Normally, when a kid catches their parents doing the dirty, they get some lame excuse about how when they are older they will understand better.

Yeah, that is for Normal people. My mom and I are far from normal.

My mom was into chicks and all I could do was stare at her like an idiot.

I am not against lesbians. I just never imagined my own mom being one, since she had me.

Shocking? Totally shocking in my opinion.

"C-Claire honey I can explain," My mom said, fixing her hair and trying to cover herself up by buttoning the rest of her shirt.

I looked at her and sat down at the dining table without breaking eye contact.

Let me know what you think of this chapter. Do you guys have any suggestions?
