Chapter 13
Kim's point of view
It's eleven thirty and Jared should be here soon. I talked with Carlie most of the morning telling her every little detail of my date and the kissing. She went crazy and I think I lost my hearing for a moment. Anyway Katherine picked out an outfit for me to wear today. It consists of black converse, white capri jeans, a black leather jacket, and a gray tank top with some green and black. I also have on storm cloud earrings and a black ring. My hair's brushed out and in a high pony tail.
"Kim Jared's here," Katherine says opening my door.
"I'll be down in one minute," I say and she nods leaving. I grab my phone and put it in my back pocket. I check myself in the mirror and smile. Katherine did a great job. I head downstairs and see Katherine and Jared talking.
"Hi," I say smiling. He turns to me and smiles.
"You look amazing," he says coming over to me and I blush lightly.
"Thanks," I say.
"Well you two have fun but have her home by eleven," Katherine says.
"Will do Mrs. Connweller," Jared says.
"Call me Katherine Jared," she says.
"Yes Katherine," he says. We head outside to his truck hand in hand.
"Well Katherine likes you," I say.
"That leaves Avery and your brother," he says.
"All you need to do for Avery is give her a doll," I say and he chuckles. He opens the door for me and I smile.
"Thanks," I say and kiss his cheek. I get in and he shuts the door. He gets in the driver's seat and starts up the truck.
We drive down the roads of La Push and then take a dirt road down into the forest. A small but homey house appears and I smile. I've been here once and it wasn't for something good.
"Everyone's excited to meet you," he says shutting off the engine.
"Well I'm excited to meet everyone," I say.
"Come on," he says and gets out. He hurries to my side and opens the door.
"You don't always have to do that," I say shutting the door.
"I want to," he says.
"I missed you last night," I say and he chuckles.
"I missed you too," he says and places his lips on mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and he places his hands on my hips.
"Get a room!" a voice yells and we break apart. Jared growls and so do I but lowly so he doesn't hear.
"Shut up Paul!" Jared yells back.
"We should go in," I say.
"We'll pick up later," he says and I smile. He takes my hand and leads me inside.
"Finally I thought you two would be out there for hours," Paul says and we glare at his.
"You know you should watch what you say to your boss," I say and he frowns.
"About that," he says.
"Nope we had a deal, the Cowboys won," I say and he groans.
"Well you've already missed three days," he says.
"I don't think so," I say smirking.
"What do you mean?" he asks.
"We never said it was the week of the game," I say and his eyes widen as everyone chuckles at us.
"You're smarter than I thought," he says.
"You'd figure it out sooner or later," I say and Jared chuckles.
"Kim this is Sam, his fiancé Emily, Embry and you know Paul," Jared introduces.
"It's so good to meet out Kim!" Emily says hugging me.
"You too Emily," I say.
"Jared hasn't stopped talking about you," Embry complains and I smile at Jared.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Kim," Sam says sticking out a hand.
"Yes it is Sam," I say and shake his hand. When our skin meets his eyes widen. He looks me in the eyes and I slowly take my hand back. What's with him?
"Well Kim I hope you're hungry, these boys don't stop eating so I'm making a ton of food," she says.
"I am and do you need help?" I ask.
"No dear it's okay," she says.
"I want to," I say and she smiles.
"Well then, follow me," she says and leads me into the kitchen. I hear the guys go outside and wonder what they're doing. Emily gives me orders on what to do and I do it.
All the food's done and I'm a little tired, I don't know how Emily does it!
"Lunch!" Emily yells and all the guys come back in. Paul and Embry go to dig in but Emily slaps away their hands.
"Ladies first," she says and they groan. I smile and Paul glares at me. I stick my hand out at him and get my food. After Emily and I get out food the guys take everything else.
"So Kim what do you do for fun?" Emily asks.
"I like to watch movies, and go cliff diving in my free time," I say and Jared chokes.
"Cliff diving?" he asks shocked.
"Ya, you guys do it," I say.
"But you could get hurt," he says.
"I can take care of myself, trust me," I say but he still looks worried.
"So you have a little niece?" Emily asks.
"Yep, Avery," I say.
"How old is she?" she asks.
"One," I say.
"Oh I have a niece too who's three," she says.
"Maybe they could have a play date sometime," I suggest.
"That would be nice," she says. I can feel Sam staring at me but try to ignore it.
"So we hear you like football," Embry says.
"Yep," I say.
"Lets test it," he says.
"How?" I ask.
"A quiz," he says.
"Bring it," I say.
"How many points is a touchdown?" he asks.
"Six but seven if you get a field goal," I say.
"Very good, what if you have no touchdown, then how much is a field goal?" he asks.
"Three points," he says. He asks me other questions about football and the NFL teams.
"Wow she knows her stuff," he says and Jared takes my hand.
"Okay so when am I your slave?" Paul asks.
"The first week we go back to school," I say and he groans.
"Sorry Paul but you should be cautious when making bets with me," I warn.
"Never again!" he says and we chuckle.
"What kind of work are you going to make him do?" Embry asks.
"All sorts of stuff," I say.
"Tell me so I can have a camera ready," he says and I chuckle.
"No we'll need a video not one picture," I say.
"Oh Paul she's got something up her sleeve," he warns.
"I know," Paul mumbles.
"Embry Paul help me with the dishes," Emily says and they groan but do as told.
"So Kim you've lived in La push your whole life?" Sam asks.
"Yes," I say.
"Are you related to the Black, Uley or Ateara families?" he asks.
"I'm a distant cousin of you," I say.
"Really?" Jared and Sam ask.
"Yep, our grandmothers were cousins or something like that," I say and Sam nods. What's he getting at?
"Kim I can't thank you enough for your help with lunch," Emily says as she and Paul and Embry come back into the dinning room.
"You're welcome Emily but it was no problem," I say.
"None the less I am grateful," she says and I smile.
"Paul and I are going out," Embry says and Sam nods at them. I know they're going on patrol though. They leave and it's just Sam, Emily, Jared, and I at the table.
"What's your favorite food?" Emily asks.
"Anything but peas," I say and she chuckles.
"Okay then I promise to have something you'll like when you come over," she says.
"That's very thoughtful, thank you," I say.
"That means you'll have to come over often," she says.
"I will," I say and Jared smiles.
"Kim can I speak with you for a moment?" Sam asks and we all look at Sam. Jared looks concerned but I nod.
"Sure," I say. We get up and walk out the back door.
We walk away from the house and into the forest.
"What did you want to talk about?" I ask.
"I just wanted to ask if you knew of the legends?" he asks.
"Yes of course," I say. What's he getting at?
"What do you think of them?" he asks.
"What do you mean?" I ask suddenly afraid he's onto me.
"Do you think they're real?" he asks.
"They're just legends," I say.
"Are they?" he asks.
"Yes, what are you getting at?" I ask.
"Are you a shape shifter?" he asks.
"What are you crazy?" I ask.
"No, just observant," he says.
"You have warm skin, your scent is like mine, your voice and eyes are familiar," he says.
"What are you saying?" I ask.
"You're my alpha," he says.
