Patiently Impatient

@ What if....
Riley smiled brightly down at him. "I'd like that." She chuckled, she knew she needed friends in this small place, or she'd go crazy.

---

Embry growled lightly at he looked over her chest, he smirked before placing his lips on her body. "God your so beautiful." He whispered out. Letting his lips attack her skin.

Paul looked at her and smiled gently. "Alright," he said softly. "Friends it is," he said as he smiled at her and held out his hand for her to shake. "I'm Paul by the way," he winked teasingly at her.

---

Nadie shivered as he spoke and she moaned. "Embry," she moaned out. Her body arched against his and she gasped. "YOU!!!" Nadie jumped and turned to see Quil trembling. She grabbed her sheet and pulled it up to cover her chest. "Quil," she whispered before she screamed as he turned into an overgrown wolf.

@ What if....
"Oh I thought you're name was Jared." She teased him back. She'd heard one of the other guys being addressed by it. "Riley." She smirked shaking his hand, she could feel electric tingles radiating from her hand.

---

Embry felt rage emit from his body. Quil had just phased in front of his imprint. Not only could he have hurt her but he just took what was his right to tell her. "Nadie, go." He said trying to keep his temper in check, he didn't want to hurt her. And he knew that both he and Quil being in wolf form would only cause more wreckage. They'd more than likely knock a hole right threw the foundation.

Paul looked at her and smiled. "Jared is my less handsome best friend," he said with a grin as he tried to ignore the feeling that her hand touching his sent through his body. Slowly, he let go of her hand and pulled away slightly. "Nice to meet you Riley," he said, loving how her name rolled off his tongue.

---

Nadie looked at both of the. Her eyes wide with fear as she moved off the bed. There was no where for her to go as wolf Quil was in her doorway. She gripped the sheet close to her as she bit her lip to keep from screaming. Tears streaked down her face as she trembled.

@ What if....
Riley chuckled. "Hm I think I know him, though I think he's cuter." She smirked down at him, just playing.

---

"Quil, I'm going to kill you." Embry growl before he charged the wolf pushing him from the room.

Paul looked at her and mock glared. "I can't believe you just said that," he said as he stuck out his lower lip in a dramatic pout.

---

"Embry!" Nadie screamed as she watched him charge the wolf. She threw on a sweatshirt as she followed them out. What was happening? "Embry!"

@ What if....
Riley bit her lip, "aw now isn't that adorable." She teased him, before leaning in and lightly nibbling on his bottom lip. "You've got to quit doing that." She said to him, her lips still on his.

---

"Nadie, go." Embry yelled back at her not wanting her to get hurt. He knew that Quil was having a hard time trying to control his anger. He knew that if Quil wanted to he could have already hurt him.

Paul groaned lightly as she nibbled on his lip. He shut his eyes before looking at her for a moment. "If I get that when I pout, I'm going to do it more often," he said with a teasing wink up at her.

---

Nadie looked at the before moving to the front. She got out of the house before looking back. Turning, she saw Sam and Jacob and a few other guys racing toward her house. She was trembling and crying as she watched everything.

@ What if....
Riley groaned out, before sliddin gdown in the floor beside him. "Why are you so hard to resist." She pouted out, her head resting on his shoulder.

---

Embry managed to get Quil pushed out of Nadie's house. It was an almost impossable feet, though he managed. Shoving Quil one last time he watch the wolf bare his teeth at him, he knew Quil wanted a fight. Looking around he noticed Nadie far enough away. He turned pack to Quil before he laughed himself at his friend phasing as he did so.

Paul wrapped an arm around her waist gently and smiled. "I don't know," he said jokingly. "I am just awesome," he said teasingly. "If it akes you feel any better, I can't resist you either," he said with a smile.

---

Nadie's knees gave out as she watched Embry turn into an overgrown wolf as well. She hit the ground and watched as they began to fight. Tears streamed down her face as the rain poured down. Finally, she pushed herself up to go stop them but Jacob grabbed her. "Embry!! Quil!! Stop!!" she screamed as she struggled against Jacob's hold on her.

@ What if....
Riley chuckled out, "so much for the friend theory hu?" She smirked at him, cuddling into his side.

---

Embry bit into Quil's shoulder before throwing him to the qround. Stay away from her he ordered Quil. You lost all right to be anywhere near her He spat at his wounded friend.

Paul held her close to him. "We can be whatever you want to be," he said gently as he gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze.

---

Nadie struggled against Jacob as he pulled her away. Soon, he got her into the house and she moved away. "Get out," she said softly. She had no idea what to do now, what to think now.

@ What if....
"What if I don't know?" She chuckled out, her hand fingers drawing traces on his thigh.

---

Embry noticed Sam and Jared moving over to take care of Quil, sighing Embry turned noticing Nadie was gone. He was grateful Emily was there with clothing. She normally was not far way, wait for the boys to quit. Walking over he handed Embry a pair of shorts. Gently taking the shorts he trotted off, to change. Before heading to find Nadie.

Paul looked over at her and smiled gently. "It's okay for you not to know. You don't have to know anything at the moment," he said gently as he watched her. "Take as much time as you need," he promised.

---

Once she got Jacob out of the house, she leaned against the door and slid to the floor. Sobs ran through her body as she thought of them turning into wolves and fighting. Sobs ran through her body as she tried to calm down but couldn't as she wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face against her legs.

@ What if....
Riley smiled up at him. "Sounds good to me." She then turned her head, frowning down at her lap. She didn't know how long it would take for her to actaully wnat to be with him. It was like her brain was slip into two sides, non boys, and boys. And they were clashing and fighting.

---

Embry tried to getting into Nadie's from the front door, he couldn't budge it. He figured she'd locked it, sighing he took off for her bedroom window. He knew she always kept it unlock, climbing he rushed through the house before finding her at the front door curlered up and sobbing. "Nadie." He whispered out, before kneeling infront of her, he didn't know what he'd do if she wanted nothing to do with him.

Paul looked at her before moving in front of her. He reached down and cupped her cheek gently. "You will never be pressured to choose. I will always be here waiting for when you are ready or for when you decide that you will never be ready. I am always going to be here for you," he promised.

---

Nadie head him whispered her name and she looked up. She was still terrified but she launched herself into hi, running her hands over him to make sure he was okay. Once she was satisfied with that, she jerked away and looked at him with fear filled eyes. "What? What was that? What are you?" she whispered softly.

Paul looked at her before moving in front of her. He reached down and cupped her cheek gently. "You will never be pressured to choose. I will always be here waiting for when you are ready or for when you decide that you will never be ready. I am always going to be here for you," he promised.

@ What if....
Riley smiled at him before placing hrr lips back to his. She groaned inturnally, what was it with this guy, he was so prefect. Somebody cleared their throat, causing her to pull away. She turned looking at Sam, he was followed by two other, they were supporting a third.

---

Embry chuckled out, shaking his head. "I really didn't want to tell you like this." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "But do you remember the ledgons?" He asked her, he really didn't know how to explain it.

Paul stood up and looked at Riley. "Look away," he said as he moved toward Quil. He looked bad, beaten and bloody. He helped the others bring him inot the kitchen and soon they were working to clean him up and help as the healing process began.

---

Nadie watched him and nodded. "Yeah, everyone knows them. About how when the cold ones and we turn into....you are....you are a protector? Along with the rest of them. You turn into a wolf to protect us from the cold ones which means vampires are real." Her eyes widened as she began to shake.

@ What if....
Riley did as instructed, she'd seen enough blood and brusies to last her a life time. She moved off the floor and placed herself on the couch, staring down at her hands as they were place in her lap.

---

Embry nodded, before moving to wrap his arms around her. "I'll always be here to protect you." He whispered to her.
