Chapter Seven
Jacob has finally joined us and he has been a little edgy because he cannot tell anyone about us. Embry nuzzles my neck as we sit at Sam's after school and get ready for another patrol. I throw a piece of my muffin at Paul to have him catch it and I giggle when he misses it. Sam and Jared are talking about something important and I see them looking at me every now and then. Embry rubs my arm and I turn to face him with a wide smile. It is our anniversary soon and I am little nervous of what he has planned for us.
"You ready for next week?" Embry asks me quietly. I nod my head a little and then kiss him softly.
"Gross, go upstairs and do all that," Paul gags and then throws something at me. I swat it away and deepen the kiss with Embry.
"Marinna, stop that right now," Emily says, as she brings more food for us. The guys and I begin to dig in when Sam and Jared walk back inside. "Sam, could you go and get something from the kitchen."
"Okay," Sam says with a smile, not knowing what it is he is supposed to get. I raise a brow and lean back against Embry. He places one hand on my hip and the other on my tummy to hold me close to him. Sam comes out with a cake and it has my name on it. "For you, Marinna, today is the anniversary that you arrived back to the reservation with Matthew."
"Sam," I say sadly. Matthew has left to be in Italy to settle a few things from our old house and he is unable to celebrate with me. I slowly get up and hug my dearest cousin. "Thank you for everything you have done."
"Anything for you, princess," Sam says sweetly. I let him go and then rush over to hug Emily. The boys let out hoots of laughter and then we all dig into the cake, that is my favourite flavour, red velvet.
