Chapter 12: Happy Memories.

Gabriella's POV

I sat there, frozen in shock just staring at him with my mouth slightly open. It probably didn't look attractive but that wasn't my biggest problem at the moment.

"Gab...Will you go out with me?" he repeated after I just stared at him, but this time he sounded even more unsure than he had been before.

"Umm... I don't think that's the best idea right now Embry." I answered slowly, getting off his lap.

I had just been through a break-up not even a week ago and here's another boy asking me out! I like Embry... maybe even more than a friend but I just wasn't ready for another relationship right now; I wish he'd understand. I was still moping about Seth.

He looked disappointed at my answer but smiled at me anyway.

"Yeah, you're probably right." He said looking down at the ground as he got up to his feet.

"But, we could go out tonight. Just as friends...?" I suggested. At my question, his face brightened up immediately.

"Awesome! I heard that there was this theme park in Port Angeles that just opened. Wanna go?"

"Sounds like a plan." I reached into my bag and took out a piece of paper and pen. I wrote down my number onto it and handed it to him.

"What's this?" he asked confused, looking at the note I had just handed him.

"My number, so you can call me for tonight."

"Oh, yeah. But I've already got you number, your sister gave it to me."

"Oh, well then ignore that. So, what time suits you?"

"How about, say around five?"

"Should be enough time to get ready." I said checking my iPod and noticing that it was already half- past three. Jeez, the time had flown by; I only meant to be here for an hour.

"I should get going," I said. "My parents might be looking for me."

"Ok, I'll walk you home."

"You don't need to do that. " I said, blushing slightly. "We're seeing each other tonight anyway."

"But I want to." He insisted.

"Ok then." I said, giving in.

I packed up the stuff I had used and we started to walk in the direction of my house.

It was silent all the way home. Probably because there were a million thoughts in my head and I couldn't think of anything to talk about. What would I wear? Who else would he bring? Wait, Stop it! This is a FRIENDS thing remember?

I looked over at Embry and he glanced in my direction when he noticed me staring at him. I blushed and quickly looked away. But I wanted to look at his face again. I could spend hours doing it; he was handsome with high cheekbones, a good jaw structure, a perfect nose and the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen on anybody in my entire life.

"Here we are." He said stopping in front of my front door.

"Thanks for walking me." I said quietly.

"It was no problem."

I took the keys out of my bag and unlocked the door.

"I'll see you at five, Em."

"Sure Gab."

And with that I closed the door. I walked into the living room to find Jasper and Irish sitting on the floor making things out of Lego, Jilliane and Asia sitting on the sofa busy on their phones and Andrew, Josh and Danny were all playing Call of Duty on the big flat screen mom and dad had bought.
