Disclaimer Twilight is not mine all I own is my OC Abigail Summers. Enjoy this chapter ^o^

 ~ I recommend listening to Blink 182 song First Date, it's funny and it was playing when I was writing this chapter ~ 

"...Bella opened up to me and filled me on the events that had happened in the past year, who Victoria was and why she wanted Bella dead. It also turns out that the boys had killed Laurent, they had recounted on how they tore apart his cement like body at out last bonfire. It still shocks me to think this is the world we live in, supernatural creatures are real. - Abigail xx"

Previously: "...Emily shakes her head sadly as tears glisten in her eyes "he didn't make it" "Oh god" Embry hangs his head in despair over the news, his heart aching for the rest of the Clearwaters "poor Leah and Seth" Abbie nods her head before adding "poor Sue" Emily wipes her eyes "Sam is at the Clearwater's house, helping, both Leah and Seth phased" There is a shocked silence between the three, both Embry and Abbie looking at Emily in surprise of the news, Seth only just turned 14 and Leah...well they had never heard of a female shifting."

Abigail's POV

It's been a couple of days since Harry's passing, the heartbreak still fresh in everyone's soul, not just in the pack but also in the community, he was a valued member and a beloved Elder to the tribe. But from this, the boys have gained two new pack members, one of those being Leah, my heart goes out to her, now having to be under the command of Sam. She still holds anger towards him and Emily, however, she will learn with time that it truly was meant to be. 

oOo

I'm currently sitting at my desk looking at my reflection in the mirror, my neck was still bruised nearly a week after my encounter with Laurent, due to the strength he had used, he left purple crescent like shapes where his finger tips had been. Releasing a sigh I lightly touch the sore area and immediately regret it as a shot of pain goes up my neck, causing me to grimace, I feel annoyance course through my veins. Because this wouldn't have happened if Bella hadn't of taken me into the meadow in the first place. 

But that doesn't matter anymore, it's in the past you can't undo an event, I don't want to sit and stew on these thoughts as I don't want them to ruin my mood.

Which currently is a mixture of joy and delight.

Why? You may ask, well because Embry had asked me on a date.

Well he didn't specifically say the word 'date' he asked me if I was free and wanted to hang out just the two of us and I took it upon myself to declare it as a date. Which I know, was the right move from the large grin, splitting his face and the swirl of happiness that entered his eyes. Now to say I was excited was an understatement, I was ecstatic, but I was definitely nervous, which was completely normal for a first date - oh god first date, I haven't been on a date in so long it feels like it's my first one all over again.

What if he holds my hand? Do I kiss him goodnight? Or is that too fast? These thoughts are a whirlwind inside my mind, my stomach swishes with unease, before I take a calming breath. Whatever happens, will be fine, let the night go with the flow, enjoy it. I know he wouldn't pressure me into anything.

After that internal storm, I think about how truly thankful I am that Embry wasn't like those cliche guys in the rom-com novels and movies that when you ask what to wear they answer 'something comfortable' and when you ask where you're going all they say is 'it's a surprise' cause that shit sucks. 

I want to know where I'm going so I can plan my outfit accordingly, what if I wore something too warm and I passed out from heat exhaustion or I didn't wear something warm enough and I got hypothermia? Instead when I asked those questions I swear I heard him say 'anything on you is beautiful' under his breath before he let out a cough and looked at me with a gorgeous smile telling me to wear "something warm cause we're going to the cliffs". See wasn't too hard right? 

Wrong.

Now I'm sitting on the edge of my bed contemplating on what to wear, I glance over to my open wardrobe and squint my eyes in scrutiny at the mass of fabric I can see, struggling on an outfit, I don't want to overdress cause it's the cliffs, but I also don't want to under-dress because it's a date. However, I have to make sure I hit that middle ground and dress warm enough cause I don't want to freeze. Uggh. 

I'm standing in front of the wardrobe with my hand filtering through the clothes that occupy my wardrobe, with a constant almost inaudible screech of the metal coat hangers sliding across the metal rack entering my ears as I indecisively sort through the clothes. I can feel annoyance and frustration bubbling up from within me that I can't find a suitable outfit, I actually want to spend some time and look nice instead of looking as if I just threw together the outfit last minute - like I usually do. I drop down onto my bed feeling disheartened and decide that maybe I should just go with my common outfit, when I notice something white and fluffy just poking out through some of my jackets.

I rise from my place on my comforter and walk towards the item and push the jacket beside it across so I can see that the white fluff was in fact a jumper, that I had clearly gotten - when I have no idea, and appears to be unworn, if the tags still being attached is anything to go by. I brush my fingers across the front and feel the fluffy material run through the spaces of my fingers, warming them up as they go, slipping my hand beneath I feel a different material to the front; fleece, which will keep me comfortably warm. Selecting that item I place it neatly on my bed, before searching through my jeans and grabbing my favourite skinny pair which is black with rips on the knees, I place them carefully next to the jumper ensuring I don't crease them.

Crouching down I pick up my mahogany coloured lace up ankle combat boots, there is a slight chunky heel to it but they are comfy as heck, I lightly throw them towards the base of my bed, hearing a soft thud as they land in place. Looking back into my wardrobe I grab my khaki jacket for extra warmth as I know the cliff is notoriously known for its icy breezes from the water below. I'm about to slide the wardrobe close when I notice my red checkered scarf hanging over the edge of the shelf from the other side of the closet, I gently pull it free and place these extra items onto my bed. 

Taking a small step back I look at the outfit and nod happily at what I see, deciding that this is what I'm going to wear, I grab a fresh pair of under garments and have a quick shower to freshen up. 

oOo

Once out and dried, I slip into the clothes I had resting on my bed, but when it comes to the jeans I feel them resist as I try and stretch them up my legs, I try and shimmy them on but they get stuck on my thighs. So I do a little jumping and pulling motion. They budge an inch. I'm puffing from the movement and annoyance, I wiggle the fabric up my legs starting from my ankles to hopefully help it along, it moves a couple more inches. It's nearly there and I decide to grab a hold of the top and jump and twist my body as much as I can. I feel the satisfying gratification once the jeans finally make it onto my hips and I can zip and button them up. 

(A/N: Has anyone had to do that before? I wrote my struggle with skinny jeans haha)

^^^ Abigail's Outfit ^^^

I sit on the floor in front of my mirror watching my reflection as I run my brush thoroughly through my hair, spending a little extra time on the tangles that have formed from being up in a messy bun. I ruffle my hair with my fingers trying to decide if I want to leave it down or if I want to put it up, there will be a breeze at the cliffs meaning my hair will fly around...up it is! I find a black scrunchie sliding it onto my wrist as I begin separating a part of my hair to tie it up, while I pull some strands out at the front to frame my face. There. Best of both worlds. Up and down.

^^^Abbie's hairstyles^^^

I move from the ground to sit at my desk, moving my makeup mirror to be closer to my face, flicking the light on the LEDs illuminates my face making the freckles that have been splattered artistically across my face from my genes stand out. A slight smile grace my lips as I decide that I'll do light makeup so I can have them on display, finally embracing the spots that I've learnt to love. It's funny back in Canada I didn't want them, but I had friends - are they really friends? They haven't messaged to see how I am...never mind that, anyway they didn't have them naturally so they would add them with makeup.

Unzipping my makeup bag, I rifle through til I find my concealer, translucent and eyebrow powder, mascara and lip balm. Opening the concealer I use the wand to apply the product under my eyes to cover the luggage my face is carrying, using a small brush I blend it out til I look like I've slept a healthy amount of hours which I definitely haven't. I add a little more to conceal some acne spots before lightly powdering it in place, grabbing my eyebrow brush I smooth the hairs out in place before filling them in lightly with some powder.

Unscrewing the lid of the mascara I swipe the bristles through my lashes making them stand out from the added colour, I go for a second coat but put the wand too close and poke my eye "shit!" I drop the mascara as I clench my eye shut in pain from the burning sensation "uggh" I can feel the wet mascara smudge on my face. Slowly opening my watery eye I can see a blurry image of my face and the area surrounding my eye has a dark shadow. 

Great.

I blink my eye a couple of times before I can see my face properly, the smudges aren't too bad I use a tissue with a little bit of water to rub away the mascara that was on my face, my eye looks better now. The concealer was still in place. Phew. I finish up with the mascara this time careful to not have another repeat of what just happened, before sliding some lip balm over my lips to moisturize them and add a healthy shine to them. I look at my face once more and decide to add a small amount of neutral eye shadow to my crease and add highlight to the inner corner of my eyes. Satisfied with my makeup, I pack away the items.

(A/N: Mascara is a bitch when you poke your eye with it)

^^^Abbie's Makeup^^^

There's a knock at the door. I look at the clock it flashes that it's 5pm, I quickly put my boots over my feet and lace them tightly, wrap my scarf around my neck before sliding the jacket over my arms, I rush down the stairs and see Emily already waiting for me with a smile on her face "you look beautiful" I smile in thanks to her as I open the door. Embry is standing there nervously before his eyes take in my appearance and his eyes widen and I feel my cheeks warm with a blush

"Woah you look stunning"

"No I don't"

"Have fun you two, and Embry"

He looks up at Emily "I want her home before 10pm"  

"Yes ma'am" he does a salute with a cheeky grin

We get in his car, and I immediately play with the radio before music begins to come through from a station 

(A/N: play Blink 182's First Date)

"In the car I just can't wait
To pick you up on our very first date"

"Funny that this song is on the radio, how perfectly fitting" his voice is light but I can hear an underlying of nervousness, that makes me feel better that I'm not the only one nervous. The air is filled with our light laughter from his words as I listen to the next lyrics

"Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?"

Deciding to be cheeky I look over to the side of his face, eyes trained on the road in front of him

"Yes I like your stupid hair" my voice is filled with humor as I see his face snap to me with wide eyes and his mouth open in mock shock 

"Oi!" 

I can't help the laughter that escapes my mouth from his reaction and stifle my laughter while he is trying to come up with something

"Well...yes I knew you didn't know what to wear" he sticks his tongue out

I give him a straight face with a deadly look in my eye and watch as his face begins to look worried and he glances out the front again, I burst into a fit of laughter "I'm having fun, and to be honest, I really didn't know what to wear"

His laughter joins in "oh good cause I was really worried when you gave me that face"

There is more laughter before he looks at me with sincerity "although, you would have looked beautiful in anything" swoon. My heart flutters at his words and I know I'm red as a tomato. We listen to the rest of the song in a comfortable silence until I hear the ending and all I can think is what Embry had told me about imprinting and how this is what must be in store for us

"Let's make this last forever
Forever and ever
Let's make this last forever"

oOo

We hike up the path before the trees thin out and the normally plain flat area has been decked out with a make shift table which is covered in a table cloth and delicious looking food, drinks and some plants. Unlit candles are scattered around and there are blankets on the grass to sit on and looks to be spare in case it gets cold.

It was beautifully thought out.

And the view.

Breathtaking.

It was perfect.

I looked at him with awe "this is amazing" my voice drifts off as I look out towards the water, before I turn to face him again "did you do all of this?" I have a feeling he did but with help, he nods his head bashfully while a blush covers his cheeks 

"I'm glad you like it. Yes I did but I had help from Emily" he looks slightly embarrassed, I knew it "she helped me cook the food" aww my heart swells hearing that

"Well I love it"

oOo

^^^The picnic set up^^^

"No way!" Embry nods his head slowly and I laugh louder "I don't believe you" 

"No, no, it happened, when we're shifted we can see/hear each other's thoughts and memories - which sucks by the way - and ahh yeah that's how the guys saw me get caught by my mum watching pornos" he hangs his head in embarrassment 

"This is great" I snort from laughing too much but don't care 

"Hey stop laughing, it's embarrassing alright" but I can see he is smiling and watching me with amusement "yeah well that's why the guys give me shit about it" and I nod my head along with him 

"I mean it makes sense, it's hilarious"

"Well what's the most embarrassing thing you can remember that's happened to you?"

I sit there and ponder on my memories trying to think of an embarrassing moment, then remember something from school "okay so a couple years ago at school there was a guy that I liked and he and I would study together well I thought we had been flirting for a couple weeks and I told my friends about it and they agreed it was flirting. Well one of them told me to invite him to her party and I was so excited, so I invited him and he agreed which was awesome and I was on cloud 9 until he said 'can I bring my girlfriend?' And it was as if a bucket of cold water got dumped on me" I look at Embry and he was chuckling 

"Yeah the good ol never say they're dating someone until you get your hopes up" I nod my head cause it's true, he glances at me before grabbing some of the food and begins to serve it out on the plates that were off to the side. He places two pieces of bruschetta on one side of my plate while adding two scoops of both the potato salad and the tossed salad on the opposite side, he fills the remaining space with some mixed fruit, he grabs a fork and hands the full plate to me. I find the gesture sweet and the food smells amazing - I see he makes his plate up the same but with more than twice as much as what my plate holds.

I let out a chuckle and he looks down with a blush, we sit and eat in comfortable silence, eating the delicious food while watching the waves crash below. It's sweet and romantic and it makes my heart swell to think he planned this all for me, we finish up the main plate and I notice the dessert that was on the other side and a smile grows on my face as I see the crackers with soft cheeses, more mixed fruit, brownies, cookies and something that appears to be apple crumble but in little mason jars. 

I'm brought out of staring longingly at the brownies from Embry's voice "what's something you want to learn?" The question surprises me but has me sitting there thinking for a brief moment before I look back up to his sweet face

"It's silly, but horse riding" ever since I was a child I always wanted to ride but I never was able to

"You can always ride me" the words escape his mouth before I think he realises what they could insinuate, all I do is rise my brow at him with a questioning face

"Oh?" My tone is teasing

I see the realisation hit and his eyes widen before he is quickly fixing his words and shaking his hands in front of himself "I mean cause I'm a horse size wolf, you could ride my back when I'm shifted" he stumbles over some of the words when he rushes his reasoning out, I can't help but laugh at him and his innocence. It's a nice change.

"It's alright, but nah seriously I want to learn mechanics"

"Oh? And why's that?"

"So that if I'm out and my car has issues I would know how to fix them, but also to help others if they ran into car issues"

"That's practical and that answer shows that you're a selfless person too"

I smile at him "my mum said my selflessness is my biggest strength and weakness" 

"I think it's beautiful like the rest of you" I don't know if he meant for me to hear it because he had said it so quietly but it made butterflies flutter in my stomach. He is so sweet.

"What about you? What did you want to learn?" I want to get to know him more, but I also love listening to his voice, it's warm and comforting.

"I would love to learn art I struggle to make even a stick figure look good" we both laugh at that cause he knows I enjoy art, "I would love to improve on my cooking though, Emily has taught me heaps already and well now I've got another taste tester" he jokingly shoves my body with his - gently, I'll add

"Well the food you made today is delicious and I could always teach you art, if you like?" I smile large at him and notice his eyes widen in excitement and he nods his head quickly like a young child 

"That would be awesome! And I could always show you what I know about cars" 

My smile widens and it's my turn to nod my head quickly "that would be great! Thank you." We talk for a little while more before we notice that the sun has begun to set and Embry grabs a lighter from the bag and lights the candles that surround us, illuminating the spot in a warm yellow glow. They help add some heat but I shuffle closer to Embry for his body warmth, I feel him wrap his arm around me as I snuggle into his side and rest my head on his shoulder "know any good jokes?"

My question is out of the blue and causes Embry to bark out laughter and I feel the rumbling of his chest, "hmm I might know some jokes...don't know if they're good though" he chuckles at the end before looking down at me. The candles cast a gorgeous glow on his defined face, making his cheekbones stand out more and the colour in his eyes to swirl different shades "why do we tell actors to 'break a leg'?" His question snaps me out from staring intently at him 

"Umm I have no idea, why?

"Because every play has a cast"

...

"You were right, you know jokes but not funny ones"

...

There's a pause before we burst into a fit of laughter "oh! I have another one"

"Oh god"

"Oh shush. A bear walks into a bar and says, 'give me a whiskey and [pause] cola' and the bartender looks at him 'why the big pause?' The bear shrugged and answered 'I'm not sure; I was born with them'" he finishes the joke and looks at me with an open mouth and expectant look on his face and I just shake my head laughing at how bad it was "get it? Pause - paws"

I keep laughing as I tell him to "stop" and that's how the rest of the night went on, terrible jokes and me snorting from laughing too hard.

oOo

 We're standing out the front of my home, looking at one another under the porch light it's 9:30pm he brought me back before 10pm as Emily requested  "I had a really great time today, thank you" it's true, this was definitely the best date I have ever been on

"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it...we should do this again some time" his voice is hopeful as he looks up at me from under his lashes, I smile and bite my lip before nodding my head then answer his expecting ears

"Yeah I would like that. A lot actually" there is a slight pause of comfortable silence between us, I look up to him and step onto my toes and press a kiss to his warm soft cheek before drawing back in embarrassment, with hot cheeks. I notice he has a giddy expression and pink cheeks, I chuckle lightly to myself "goodnight Embry" I walk inside and look at him once more

"Goodnight Abbie"

I close the door and lean my back against it breathing in deeply, resting my head back against the timber, I can't wipe the smile off my face.
