Hey guys" Jacob greeted them halfheartedly.
"Hey Jake" the short one said without looking away from Bella, she awkwardly smiled at him, his grin was so impish. He then winked at her.
"Quil, Embry- these are my buddies, Bella and Anna."
"Charlie's daughters, right?" The brawny one asked us, holding out his hand towards Bella. "That's right" she confirmed, shaking his hand. He then came over and shook my hand, his grip was firm, it looked like he was flexing his bicep.
"I'm Quil Ateara," he announced grandly, stepping back, facing Bella again. "Nice to meet you Quil" she said. The tall one looked shy.
"Hey, I'm Embry Call- you probably figured that out though." He smiled a shy, cute smile and waved with one hand, which he then shoved in the pocket of his jeans. I was flustered and all I could manage to say was a breathy "yeah." I probably looked like a dead fish, luckily my sister saved me from the attention. "Nice to meet you too."
"So what are you guys doing?" Quil asked, still looking at Bella.
"Well, we're going to fix up these bikes," Jacob explained inaccurately. But bikes seemed to be the magic word. Both boys went to examine Jacob's project, drilling him with educated questions. I was probably too busy drooling over Embry to pay attention to what they were saying, hopefully he didn't notice that I was staring.
But sadly, he did, but instead of looking creeped out, he smiled. A genuine smile. And I was supposed to smile, like a normal girl would, but instead... I looked away.
As I was busy convincing myself that the greased cloth I used was way more interesting than Embry's face, I felt someone's presence near me, I could hear his heartbeat, it was speeding up... He was nervous? Awww
"So... Anna?" I had to crane my neck upwards so I could see his face. This is the part where I say something... "Um, yeah?" He smiled.
"I see you into dirt bikes." He looked down at my greased up hands. I felt self conscious about them now, I hid them behind me so he would stop looking.
"Well, not really... I kinda do, but I was just helping him remove some parts." I almost stuttered.
"Cool, maybe one day we could remove some parts on my bike" was he flirting? Am I supposed to have a witty comeback or...?
"That'd be great, I love removing parts on motorbikes." He raised his eyebrows, but covered my stupid comment with a laugh. My pale cheeks are probably red now.
"What grade you in by the way?" At least he's trying to make a conversation with me instead of making an excuse to get out of this awkward situation.
"I'm a junior, and you?" He seemed a little shocked by this, "I'm a sophomore, wait.. How old are you?"
"I'm 15, how old are you?"
"I'm 16, wow, I guess that makes you Einstien junior huh?" I giggled- probably the first normal thing I've done so far in front of him.
"Nah, I doubt."
I noticed how close he was standing next to me. I was leaning against the hood of Jacob's Rabbit, and he was leaning next to me, his arm was supporting himself behind me, meaning that he was very close. If he was any other guy, I would've probably awkwardly shifted back.
"I like your hair by the way and-" he was about to say something else until I looked up again and my eyes got lost in his deep brown eyes, "... And I like your eyes to" he said slowly. "Thanks" my voice sounded breathy again, I focused on that greasy cloth again.
"But what's up with the gray though, it looks cool, but I'm just curious"
"It's a story for another day." So I just confirmed that I'll see him again
"Does that mean you wanna see me again" he smirked, his face getting a little closer to mine. My lips formed a straight line.
"Yeah right" I blushed and looked away... Was I trying to be sarcastic? Am I doing a good job at this?
"We're boring you, aren't we?" I faced the direction of the voice, it was Jacob, saying it to Bella. "No, I just have to go cook for Charlie" she looked at me and how close Embry was, we shifted apart.
"Oh, well, I'll finish taking these apart tonight and figure out what more we'll need to get started rebuilding them. When do y'all girls want to work on them again?"
"Can we come tomorrow?" I was happy when she said this. Meaning that I'll probably see Embry again. I looked up at him and he was looking at me too. "Hey, are you good with maths? Wait, of course you are. What I meant is, can you help me with maths?" He looked nervous and his heartbeat was beating rapidly fast again. I tried not to nod my head too much like an eager bobble head.
He grinned, "great! Tomorrow then" I smiled back and nodded again, because I did not trust my words.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Jacob" I heard my sister say. I faced Embry again and slightly waved at him goodbye, he smiled and waved back.
As soon as we were out sight, we heard Embry and Quil say "Woooooooo!" Followed by "ouch" and "hey!"
We both giggled, actually... We were laughing. I've never seen my sister this happy ever since the break up. "I'm glad to see that Quil is having a good effect on you" I teased. She laughed and bumped her shoulders with mine. "I see Embry has taken a liking to you" she commented. "Nah, he just wants help with maths, that's all" it's hard to believe that he would actually like me in that way.
There was a short silence before she said "he's cute though" I chuckled and shook my head, that does not sound like Bella at all, but I didn't say anything. I'm just happy that she is happy...
And he wants to see me again
