Chapter 15: Problem

Chapter 15 - Problem

Sam's POV

"I'm fine," Harry insisted, as Emily sat next to him on the couch holding his hand. "The doctor said my heart beat is a little irregular so he put be on some medication. I have to also work on reducing my cholesterol and stress level. It's no big deal. Now, I didn't ask you over here so that you would fuss."

Emily and I had gone over to the Clearwater house. Harry had requested our presence and to reduce his stress, Sue had called us begrudgingly. I know it pained Emily to be distant from her family, but given Harry's determination to have us in his life, we were hoping that the situation would ease. Sue was in the kitchen getting decaffeinated tea. Caffeine was out for Harry. Seth had greeted us stiffly when we first came in and then disappeared upstairs to his room. Leah was no where to be seen, most likely working in the store.

"Sam, there's a guy from Makah trying to sell meth to some of the kids here. He's a big guy, kind of sticks out. Leah caught him harassing some kids near the supply store and threatened him with the police if he didn't leave the property. He wasn't too happy about that."

"We'll take care of him," I assured Harry.

"Just be careful all right. Drug dealers are dangerous when crossed."

"Hey, it's our job as protectors to run pigs like this guy off our land. Don't stress yourself Harry, we're on it." I promised.

I heard a subtle noise in the hallway and looked up. Leah stood in the doorframe, half hidden, surprise on her face. When she saw me looking, she gave me a glare that would have melted ice. She quickly turned and went back in the direction she came from. A few seconds later, I heard the front door open and close softly.

Sue walked back in the room with a tray of tea and passed mugs to everyone. Sue hovered over Harry for a moment, adjusting the blanket that was over his legs. He finally had to mutter, "I'm fine woman" before she settled stiffly into the chair closest to the couch.

Emily and Harry began a discussion about Emily's nieces. We all tried to relax as much as we could, but the tension was thick. When Emily received a monosyllable response from her aunt to a question she had asked, I told her it was time to leave. Emily eagerly agreed, jumping up to kiss her uncle goodbye.

"Don't worry Harry, if anyone comes around here again and bothers Leah or Seth, or anyone else, give me a call and we'll take care of it." I said as I leaned over to touch his shoulder reassuringly.

Sue had a confused look on her face, but her expression softened slightly over my statement. Emily and I left the house and hopped in my truck. We did some errands in Forks and headed home.

"Well, it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the sun is actually out for once. What should we do with the rest of our day?" Emily asked, smirking at me.

"Hmm...well, it'd be a shame to waste a sunny day, wouldn't it?" I responded.

"Definitely, she replied.

I pulled into our driveway. We got out of the truck and walked hand and hand towards the house. She looked over at me, the sunlight sparkling in her black hair and that's all it took. I reached for her the same time she reached for me. She grabbed my face pulling it down to hers. I reached for her hips pulling her close.

She blindly reached for the door handle and we both stumbled into the house, laughing as we went in. The door shut behind us, and I pushed Emily against the door. I quickly stripped off my t-shirt. Somewhere in the distance, I heard the phone ring.

"Are you freaking kidding me?" I mumbled against Emily's neck. The phone persisted and I reached over to pick it up.

"Hello?" I said gruffly, distracted by the fact that Emily was now standing on tiptoe kissing me along my collarbone.
