Chapter 4 Love Under Way

~ Bella ~

As I came up the drive I saw the house. It wasn't at all what I expected but it looked warm and homely. I wondered if I would get to meet all the La Push boys, I mean I've meet them but never all at once. Those boys always sent a chill down my spine. They were so big but the biggest had to be Jacob or Sam. It's been a week sense Jake's return home, so they guys wanted to get everyone together or as they call it the tribe. I had to pinch myself to make sure this wasn't a dream. Then I saw him sitting on the porch waiting for me. Just the site of him made my heart beat speed up. Even though Embry's parents know close to nothing about werewolves, or me. That doesn't change my feelings toward him. I parked my truck and has I hopped out of course there was an ice patch under my feet. As I went down guess who was there inches before my butt hit the ground…

"Embry!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. And in a blur of speed he catches me.

"Bella you really need to learn how to be more careful." He said in that soft, velvet voice that made all the bones in my body melt in to putty.

"Why would I need to do that when I know you'll be there to catch me." With a smile on his face, and laughter that escaped his beautifully, smooth mouth. I knew that he loved that I was clumsy, to the point that he always had to be around. Embry was one of the shorted and less muscular of the werewolves. But that's what made him so perfect for me. As he pulled me up I looked into those soft, chocolate brown eyes, made me think of the first time we meet.

~ Embry ~

What's taking her so long? The nerves were bubbling up in his throat. The thing about Bella was she was the only girl for me. With the fact that I'm a werewolf and the whole imprinting thing. Jake had been back about 2 weeks now so we're getting the tribe together for a big bonfire. This will be the first time Bella will get to see everyone together. Oh great more pressure and tonight's going to be hard enough as it is.

~ Embry ~

Still with that thought in my head I could finally see the old orange truck get closer to the house. This girl, my soul mate, was the most beautiful thing in my life. With her bouncing brown hair, soft brown eyes, and those lips that looked like candy cotton pink. Those were the first things that got me hocked no her.

As I stood up she was exiting the truck and a split second before she could say anything she was falling. With the all my speed I rushed to catch her. Inches from the ground there she was hanging in my arms.

"Bella you really need to be more careful." As I looked into those brown eyes I saw the shock that I got to her before she could have helped herself.

That's when she said, "Why would I need to be more careful when I know that you'll always be there to catch me." That statement just made me laugh harder. As I pulled her up I remembered that first time we hard meet.

~ Bella ~

" Come on Bells, its time to go to school." Charlie yelled up to me. It's my freshman year. Life's going to really suck. One of the reasons would have to be the fact that the La Push kids have to come to the high school know because their school was closed down. Sometimes I really missed Jacob. He uses to live here but moved away about 7 years ago but we email each other a lot.

After Charlie dropped me off at the school, I headed to my locker. As I approach my locker, I had a lot of problems with the stupid lock. Okay I really think 6 or 7 tries is enough, so I gave up. When I turned around I saw my 1 of my 4 best friends. Angela with her long dark brown hair, and glasses, Ang is a super shy person. Her and Eric are very much the same in appearance but Eric loves to talk to people, next would be Jessica. Jess has brown hair but its like 3 times lighter then Ang's hair. Those two have been friends forever but are as different as night and day. Like I said Ang is quiet but Jess is loud and always wants to be the center of attention. Mike is the blonde, jock of the group.

When I turned away from my locker I saw Ang. So I ran to talk to her and give her a hug.

"Hey Ang!" I yelled right into her face.

"Hey Bella. How was your summer?" she asked in her quiet and shy tone of voice.

"It was okay. But I missed you guys more." My summer wasn't that good, except for when I got to see Jacob. "Hey Bella!" screamed Eric and Mike in unison.

"Hey Mike. Hey Eric." I gave both boys a big toothy smile.

"Bella, you having some trouble with your locker?" Mike asked hoping to be the hero.

"Yeah actually I am." I said giving him the okay to try and open my locker.

After about 15 minutes with both boys trying to get my locker. I was going to go to the office to get a new locker because this one wouldn't open. Then I heard a voice coming from behind me.

"Umm… excuse me but I need to get to my locker." When I turned around there stood a beautiful tan god. All muscle and long brown hair. He almost looked like Jack. But then it hit me I knew this guy.

"Sure… I have a question? Did you go to the school down in La Push at anytime?" I asked only to get a couple weird looks from my friends.

"Yeah I did. How'd you know that? I lived down there and I know for sure you didn't." he stated in a way that made him look made and sexy at the same time.

"Because I had a good friend that use to go there and I thought you might have known him?" after the question I dropped my head in embarrassment.

"Well I'll how about this tell me your name first and your locker combo and I'll tell you my name and I'll tell you what I can." Finally he smiled at me.

"Okay I'm Bella Swan. My locker combo is 31-21-11."

"Well its nice to meet you Bella. My name is Embry. And I think I just got your locker open." As he finished the locker swung open. "And what is the name of your friend?"

"His name is Jacob Black." As I said Jack's name Embry's face just dropped.

"You mean your Bella that Jake talks about every time I'm on the phone with him." "Yeah I guess so. I knew you looked familiar. The day Jake finished packing his things you and I were both there helping him." When he smiled at me I felt all the blood rush to my face.

" I remember you know. Wow it's been years. Well I'll talk to you later then."

~2 years later ~

~ Embry ~

Okay so how am I going to do this? I just need to tell her. "Bella I love you. And I have something to tell you. I'm a werewolf, and there's this thing called imprint. It means that I can't live without you. If you feel the same way awesome but if this is all to weird for you I understand." As I paced my room it had been almost 2 years sense that day that I helped Bella with her locker. I still live with my mom but that's going to change soon.

How else can I tell her that if I can't have her there's no one else in this world for me. Oh shit her truck just pulled up.

"Hey Bella!" I yelled out the front door. "Hey Embry! I got you call. What did you want to talk about?" she asked as she made her way up the steps.

"Umm… lets talk inside." I knew she could tell something was wrong

"Embry what's going on?" At that moment she was the most beautiful thing in my life.

"We need to talk. This is very important so I need you just to listen for an couple of minutes." At that Bella's dropped anyone could tell she didn't like were this was going. "Okay, the thing is… I'm a werewolf. I don't turn into this half-man, half-wolf thing. I turn into this huge wolf. I can always tell when you're around for two reasons. One, all my senses are enhanced. Second, I've imprinted on you. I know what your thinking 'this guys crazy and I should go and hide' but I can prove it if you want? There' s something else. You won't have to worry about me ever cheating because it's you and only you. " I looked at her and she looked at me.

"Embry I'm not going to run. The truth is I've loved you for along time. And I know you would never cheat on me. As for the werewolf thing I don't care. But I do have one question?" In those beautiful eyes and I knew what she said was true. "Anything what do you want to know?" I said with so much happiness that I think I scared her.

"Well, is Jacob a werewolf too. And is that why whenever I see you your always the king of the sleeping dead?" With the end of that statement she smiled at me and ran into my arms.

"Yes to both questions. Oh and did I tell you… I love you." I hugged her even titer when she started to laugh.

~ Current day ~

~ Embry ~

At the end of that flash back. We were both inside Sam's house, all of that room that him and Emily got for all the kids that they want.

"Gee Sam did you need any bigger of a house?" he gave me the look that told me to shut up now.

"Well I have to house my kids and you sometimes when you forget to pay that stupid rent. But I'm not complaining about anything."

At that we all sat down to wait for Jacob and Quil to get here. When they came through the door the food was ready.

"so Jake are you happy to be home?" Emily asked of course she didn't know Jake all that much but she had heard a lot of stories about him.

"You must be Emily and yes I'm very happy to be home again." Jake said in a quiet tone that told us he was embarrassed. At that everyone was quiet for the rest of dinner. As everyone finished we moved in to the family room.

"Hey Emily before we get into anything important I have something to say." Jared got up and walked over to Kim the girl he imprinted on last year right before I did with Bella.

"Kim I love you and it's been a year sense I imprinted on you. I have a very important question for you." With that he got onto one knee and said "Will you marry me, have children with me, make a house with me and I can give you anything you want." Shit that just sent my plans into a bad position.

"YES! JARED I WILL MARRY!" Kim screamed when Jared put the ring on her finger. She just giggled like crazy.

~ Bella ~

I couldn't believe that Jared just asked Kim to marry him. So Kim and I started talking about the wedding. But out of the corner of my eye I see Embry moving closer to me. So I turned to see what he wanted and then I saw it. The most beautiful diamond ring right in front of me.

"Bella I know you would like a big long speech like what Jared did but I couldn't think of one but I love you and I want to know? Will you marry me?" all my body froze will excitement.

"HELL YES! And your wrong I didn't need a big long speech that was totally perfect. I love you too." I wanted to scream but then it hit me how was I going to tell Charlie.

*Jacob*

While Bella, Embry, and the others were trying to find a way to tell Charlie that shes been dating Embry for 2 years and now they are getting married, and lucky me I got patrolling duty. As I was walking the treaty line, I saw a figure in the distance moving at the speed of light. The next thing I know I'm rolling on the ground teeth bared and ready to bite when I see that its Edward rolling with me. Werewolves may have sharper teeth but vampires are stronger, so I'm pined to the ground by Edward still in wolf form and he's just staring at me. So I start to struggle to get out from under I phase back and so I still under him but now I'm naked too. So I reach for my pants but I can't move my hands or arms for that matter. His beautiful face was so close to mine, I just wanted to lean up and kiss that hard, full mouth. To feel his hands running up and down my body. Then he smiled at me, so I leaned up and took his mouth with mine.

*Edward*

One minute I've got a werewolf under me teeth bared ready to fight, then there's Jacob under me, and he's naked. I look up and down that hot tan body of his, just imaging what it would be like to have my hands on him. Why does he have to smell so good. Then I feel his arms start to move to his ankle to get his cloths and I tighten my grip so he can't reach them. His mouth is right there, I wonder what he tasted like. Why is it that any other wolf smells so bad but he smells like a god. When my eyes returned to his face it looks closer. Then he leans up and closes his mouth over mine. Oh that flood of warmth I haven't felt in so long. I couldn't help my self, so I let go of his arms to run my hands through his hair. When I heard the moan escape from his throat my body and his tensed. Then his lips parted to let my tongue in to deepen the kiss. When out tongues meet there was a whole new explosion of heat and passion our hands roaming each others body. His hand exploring new territory. I was the first to break the kiss. I looked down at his face, hair a tussled mess.

"Jacob what are we going to do about this?" I asked as I rolled off him.

"I'm not sure but you started it." With that he laughed and smiled.

"Okay, well how about we meet here tomorrow to talk more about what happened." I really just wanted to see him again but he'll never now.

"Okay see you later then." With that he ran off into the tree line.
