Eyes of Fire [Sam Uley]

FOURTEEN|Moving Day

"Are you sure that you don't want to stay?" Charlie asked as Olivia was lifting a box of books into the back of Sam's truck and he looked at her. "I'm really gonna miss you kid." Charlie admitted as Olivia sighed.

"I'm going to really miss you too, Charlie. But I won't be that far away. Just come down whenever you want, I won't be too far away from Billy's and Harry's." Olivia pointed out and she hugged him, as Sam, Jared and Paul were loading the rest of her stuff out of the house and into her truck. "Besides, you will need the room for Bella." She pointed out as the boys had finished with everything. "Hey, are you sure that I can keep the desk?" She asked.

"Yes, you can keep the desk. Bella's mom is sending Bella's down with her, she isn't going to use it." Charlie said and Olivia sighed.

"Thanks Charlie, I mean it." Olivia said as Charlie hugged her quickly and Olivia was smiling, as she returned the hug. "I'll visit as much as I can, I promise. You'll be sick of seeing me before long!" She called out to him as Charlie laughed at the words and then Olivia walked over to the truck and she hopped into the passenger seat.

"This was the last thing." Sam said as he handed the framed object to her. Olivia took it and she smiled at it. Olivia had gone from being a part of the school in La Push only six months ago, to finishing her school at home with Charlie. It was her framed diploma and she chuckled. "You were terrified to come out here, you know, but now? Now, you honestly look like you don't even want to leave." He said as she glanced at him.

"Are you trying to get me to stay, instead of moving into the house that we bought?" She asked and Sam sighed.

"Well, the hydro bill would be lower for sure." Sam said and Olivia elbowed him in the ribs. "Ow!" He complained and she was glaring at him.

Unlike with Carmen and the others where he said "ow" just for their benefit, Olivia had the knowledge of where to make it hurt and he winced. "Sorry Uley, I didn't mean to hit you that hard." She said and he looked over at her, before he was driving off.

"I still can't believe that you had enough money almost without my cash input to buy a house... In cash." Sam said and she glanced at him.

"Baking, fighting in the ring, getting my personal trainer certifications. Becoming a personal trainer." Olivia listed off everything as she was counting it on her fingers. "Leading tours around the woods and on the trails of La Push..." Sam chuckled at the constant list, that seemed to indeed be growing longer by the day.

"Okay, okay, I give up." Sam said and she smiled at him, and he reached over and he was messing up her hair.

"Hey! Quit that!" She said and smacked his hand away, as Sam was shaking his head as they continued onwards, until they reached La Push and they found that Jared and Paul were already by the house, ready to do the heavy lifting.

"This is why you will never need a moving crew." Sam said as he was getting out of the truck as Olivia jumped down from the other side.

"You mean because I'm dating an alpha werewolf, who can force his subordinates to help me move?" Olivia asked in a rather deadpan tone of voice and Sam laughed at the words.

"Or maybe because we're your best friends?" Jared said and Olivia yelled in surprise, as he had scooped her up and she was suddenly about five feet off of the ground.

"Put me down, Jared Cameron, you idiotic son of a donkey!" Olivia yelled as Jared was putting her back on her feet.

"Okay, where did that expression come from?" Sam asked as Paul and Jared were starting to offload the big stuff, including the desk which was probably too heavy on its' own.

"Honestly?" Olivia asked as she tucked her graduation certificate onto the top of a box of books and she was picking up the box in question. "Quil and I have seen "Shrek" way too many times." She admitted and Sam was attempting not to laugh at the words. "Just let it out, Paul nearly pissed himself when I told him." She said as then at her permission being given, Sam was laughing.

Olivia had been barking sharp orders at Paul and Jared steady all day, which was fine until she finally got the fridge plugged in and instead of them off-loading the food into the fridge and the freezer, they were both gorging themselves on all of her food.

Whether it was cooked or not. "Are you serious?!" Olivia screeched and the two were looking up at her. "I need to eat and so does Sam. I might not be a werewolf, but I still need food. From now on, whatever is not in that fridge or freezer, you two knuckleheads are paying for it!" She said and pointed at the fridge and the freezer, as they were quickly hurrying now, just to put everything away.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked as he came up behind her. Sam wrapped his arms around her and she glanced up at him. "You don't usually snap at them, is all." He said and she sighed.

"It's been a month since you told me, Sam, I guess I'm still adjusting. I mean, Paul nearly tore my face off because he lost control." She said and he looked down at her.

"You really think that I would have ever let that happen?" Sam asked and instead of her answering, she leaned her head against his chest. "You're safe, Livvy, I hope you know it." He murmured and she moved her arms around his waist.

"My heart knows it. My head still hasn't caught up yet." Olivia murmured and Sam chuckled at the words, kissing the top of her head.

"Isn't it usually the other way around or something?" Sam asked and she nodded a bit. "We're eighteen and seventeen, those two knuckleheads are almost sixteen... What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?" He asked and looked at her.

"We?" Excuse me? What part of this, other than the house behind us exactly has been a "we" thing, Sam?" Olivia asked and he nodded slightly. "The proper answer for that question is that it really really doesn't matter anymore. Because it is us against the world now, right?" She said and she grabbed one of his hands in hers. "Us and your pack, against the world." She said, Sam nodded a little and he took a deep breath of the fresh air.

"Us against the world." Sam murmured softly and he leaned down and kissed her, as Olivia smiled. Olivia had to go up onto her tiptoes to return it properly, since she was only 5' 4" and Sam was nearly 7 feet.

"Eww!"
"Keep it PG!"

Two familiar voices interrupted the peaceful sort of a silence and Olivia looked around Sam, to see that it was Jared and Paul. "Oh, go away!" Olivia said as then they were both tackling her and all three of them went rolling away.

Olivia was laughing and she was kicking Jared off of her, jumping up onto her feet to avoid the lunge from Paul, who went rolling into the dirt as he had overcorrected.

They messed around in the dirt for hours until Sam took Jared and Paul to run their nightly patrols, as Olivia shut the door and she sat at the kitchen table, drinking water and checking out her schedule for fighting.

While she waited for Sam to come home, a nightly ritual for her now and she looked at the schedule.
