I do not own Twilight it belongs to the talented Stephanie Meyer
I do own Linda though :)
Rightt After Thursday
Monday
Embry was determined.
Because he had gone to talk to the pack on Friday, he hadn't seen Linda.
He couldn't see her over the weekend, because some idiot decided the library, should be closed on the weekends.
And yes Embry, knew how pathetic he sounded.
Despite the fact, that Quill and Jake had imprints, they still cracked jokes about how needy he was being.
It didn't help that Emmett and Seth joined in.
He wasn't needy.
Right after getting out of his summer classes, he raced to the library, to Linda.
He had got an A+ on the project, they worked on together.
He couldn't wait to tell her.
His teacher actually questioned, if he did it himself.
When he told the teacher, he had gotten ''tutoring,'' he let it go.
Embry arrived at the library, and quickly roved the shelves, searching for Linda.
His head shot up when he heard her voice.
He quickened his pace, following the sound of her voice.
He found her talking to someone.
Talking to Quill.
Embry was going to punch him.
He had just met her.
He didn't want to share anytime, he could be spending time with her.
Talking to her.
Getting to know her.
But there was Quill, and of course Claire.
She spotted him before, Quill.
She grinned ''Hi, Embry.''
Quill smiled sheepishly ''Hey, Embry.''
''Hi, Linda. Quill.''
''Oh, you guys know each other?''
''Unfortunately.'' Embry answers
''I'm hurt right here.'' Quills says dramatically pointing to his heart.
Linda just smiles.
''So...What'cha get on your project?''
''Well….I know you helped me with it, and all but I'm sorry to say that, there's no way I could've gotten an A+ without you.''
She whacks him, with a paperback book on his arm.
''Jerk, you had me going for a second there, If you had gotten an F, I would've been ticked.''
Before Embry can reply, Quill speaks up.
''Wait, you got an A+ in History. What have you done with the really Embry?''
''Very funny Quill.'' Embry says sarcastically
Quill turns to Claire.
''I'm funny right, Claire bear?''
''Quill's always funny.''
Embry and Linda snort.
''See, someone thinks I'm funny.''
Quill's picking up Claire, via piggyback.
''It was nice to meet you Linda.''
''You too, Quill. Bye Claire.''
''Bye Linda.''
There's a steady silence between them for a while.
And Embry senses an unasked question.
''I've known Quill, pretty much my whole life. He's kind of annoying, but a good friend.
''So he's like your childhood friend, and you know Embry, everyone's kind of annoying.''
''Nah, not me.''
''Keep telling yourself that.'' she quips
Embry wordlessly starts helping her sort books.
She smiles at him.
''So you have any childhood friends?'' he asks
''That I've kept in contact with. From middle-school, Anya. She's kind of my best friends.
We don't always get to see each other a lot, but I know she always has my back.''
They talk about anything and everything.
Favorite music, movies, books.
He finds out she likes Folk, Rock, Pop and yes she looks like someone who would like Taylor Swift.
And yes, she does like Taylor Swift.
She finds out he likes Rock, Daft-Punk, Owl City and Passion Pit.
He blanches when, she says she likes Vampire Weekend.
He finds out, she loves Back to the Future, and it's a goal of hers to own a delorean.
She finds out, he loves old monster movies, and War of Worlds.
She says she never really watched those, because her mom didn't let her as a kid
He tells her, they're having a monster movie marathon.
She replies in turn that they, should probably have a Lord of the Rings, movie marathon too.
She never saw those either.
He finds out she's an avid bookworm.
Who will practically read anything, and everything.
He finds out one of her favorite series, is the Leviathan series.
He tells her, he's not that into reading books.
But used to love reading comics.
He finds out, she likes reading them too.
And they talk about the new 52, and how some of their favorite characters changed.
Which leads them to start talking, about the new superman movie.
And the new show Gotham, Flash and Green Arrow.
He tells her he hasn't seen those shows.
And she urges him to at least watched Gotham, but really he should watch all of them. And had he ever watched Smallville?
Pretty soon, it's the end of her shift, and he tells her about Sue's Diner.
He invites her to eat.
And she says ok, and sends a txt to someone on her phone.
At the diner, they continue to find topics to talk about.
They make a habit of doing this.
Embry helps her with her work, or she helps him study.
Then they go to Sue's afterwards.
A couple of times she see's Jake, Leah, Seth and Quill.
Embry briefly gives her introductions.
But it doesn't go beyond on a ''Hi, I'm insert name and well bye.''
It's a three weeks later when.
Jake brings up that, he doesn't really spend time with her outside of the library.
Embry tells him that's not true, they go to the diner.
Jake doesn't think that counts.
He thinks Embry should try to meet with her, when she's not working.
Embry mulls it over and starts thinking.
What if Jake's right and she just thinks he hangs out with her for tutoring?
Embry begins planning.
He did tell her, they should have a movie night.
He buys popcorn, gummy bears, gummy worms, Linda's favorite ice cream and a whole bunch of chocolate.
He rents all the classic monster movies, and the Back to the Future trilogy.
Seeing as she was appalled that he hadn't seen them.
He also remembers her saying that Teen Wolf was one of her favorite movies as a kid.
Which Embry cannot get over.
He has to ask the guy at the rental store for it.
But he finds it.
He abruptly asked her on a Wednesday, as she's helping him solve a math problem, and mumbling under her breath how math makes no sense.
How can you divide feet by miles, and how she'll never understand people who actually enjoy math.
She stops scribbling, and punching in numbers on his calculator.
''Huh?''
''I thought we could have our movie night, this weekend at my house.''
''Oh. That sounds cool. What day?''
''Is Saturday good?''
''Yeah Saturday works. What time were you thinking?''
''Uh… 5pm and we could order in pizza.''
''Sounds good.''
And she turns back to the math problem that has been frustrating them both of them for the past 15 minutes.
Till, she suddenly looks up and grins, and starts explaining to him, how she found the answer.
And Embry is barely focusing, and she has to explain it to him three times, because all he can think about is Saturday.
Saturday might just be his second favorite day of the week.
Right after Thursday.
