Chapter 34: Bonding Day.

Gabriella's POV

The first thing that I felt once I started to stir awake was that it was warm. Very warm. Which could only mean two things; either a miracle had happened in La Push and there was a heat wave taking place or Embry was lying in bed with his arms wrapped around me. I'm betting that it was Embry.

I opened my eyes and was met with Embry's serene face as he continued to sleep. I smiled at him and kissed his cheek gently. He started to stir but I calmed him down and he soon fell asleep again.

I started to stroke my fingers through his silky, black hair. It was a habit of mine to do this; it was just so soft. Embry always slapped my hand away when I did it but he would eventually give in when I didn't quit bugging him about it.

I sat up on one shoulder and looked around the room. I was so tempted to burst out laughing when I saw Alex and Asia together in the single bed. They both looked like they were about to fall off anytime. It wasn't exactly a good idea to put those two together in the bed. They kicked and moved about like crazy during the middle of the night. I and Embry only fit in my one because he usually put him on top of him. Not that I minded though because he was almost always shirtless because of the crazy wolf temperature he had.

"What's so funny?" a voice asked.

I jumped back and felt someone grab onto my shoulder just before I hit the floor. I soon saw that it was Embry.

"Jesus, you scared me! I thought you were still sleeping." I whispered at him.

He chuckled, "Ok, first of all, I'm not Jesus and second of all, you're attempt at trying not to laugh was a fail. Well, it's probably because I have super hearing or you need to work on your being quiet skills."

"Oh, ha-ha very funny. Guess who's not going to get a good morning kiss from me?"

"Danny? Josh?" he teased.

"Nope, some guy named Embry Call." I replied, turning in his arms so I was facing away from him.

"Aww, come on baby! I was just joking." He said, putting his chin in the space between my neck and shoulder. "Please forgive me."

I pretended to think about it for a while but eventually gave in and turned to face him again.

"Ok, you're forgiven." I said, leaning in closer to his face. "Now how about that good morning kiss I was talking about?"

"That's my girl." He said, closing the space between us and kissing me gently on the lips.

He pulled me on top of him and the kiss gradually got rougher until we heard a howl rise out of the forest. We pulled apart and Embry groaned.

"Every time." He mumbled, getting out of bed to climb out the window. "I have to go. I'll come back later?"

"Uh, maybe around six, me and Alex are spending the day together before she leaves tomorrow."

"Oh ok, I'll call you later." He said, bending down to peck me on the lips.

"Ok, be careful." I called out as he opened the window.

"Always am." He responded before jumping out the window and running into the forest.

I sighed and lay back down on the bed. I tried to occupy myself with something to do but got bored after a while so I stood up and walked over to Asia's bed. I stared at my Alex's sleeping form. Her arm was hanging off the edge of the bed and her mouth was slightly open as she snored lightly.
