"Good." She smiled and settled back into the seat.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Sam's number. I drummed my fingers against my thighs as I listened to the dial tone until it went to voice mail. I shut the phone, not bothering to leave a message. I knew he would know I called and probably would call me back. As if on cue my phone buzzed in my hand and Sam's named flashed across the screen.
"Hey," I said to Sam.
"What is it?" he asked. Wow, straight to the point.
"Um, uh…" I said.
"What?" he said in annoyance.
"Ok, today in school a girl walked in and she was the hottest thing I've ever seen in my life and then I imprinted on her, but then it turned out she was seeing someone, who just so happens to be a bloodsucker, and he came that today to the school and made out with her in the parking lot, and then I got jealous and got all angry and the bloodsucker just laughed at me but then the girl probably felt some sympathy for me, cause then she made out with me in the parking lot in front of the bloodsucker and then he got overprotective of her and tried to break us up and I told the girl she didn't have to go anywhere with him and so she listened and got in the car with me and she's with me now," I explained in a huge rush. I glanced over to see Bella looking at me in astonishment. The other end of the phone was silent.
"Wow," Sam said finally after a while. "Had a big day, huh?"
"Is that all you can say?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Well, besides that, you actually imprinted on her?" Sam asked.
My cheeks felt warm, and I knew I was blushing. I heard a snicker, and I saw Bella covering her mouth to keep from laughing. But I guess somehow that me turning red was hilarious, so she couldn't hold it in any longer and she burst out laughing. I tried to focus on the road, but it became hard after that because Sam must have heard her laugh, and he decided to join in, too.
"You've done it," Sam said. "You are so funny."
"What?" I asked between clenched teeth.
"Yeah, right," Sam said. "Like you've actually imprinted her."
"I did," I protested.
"Alright, alright. I believe you, for the most part. I need to meet the girl first. Who is she exactly?" he asked
"Bella Swan, the Chief's daughter." I answered him.
Sam gave a low whistle, "Holy shit, you better watch your back, boy. You break her heart; you'll have the Chief coming after you with a loaded gun."
"I'm not going to break her heart, besides it would just hurt me to do that and you know it. Whatever she feels I feel." I said, casting a look over to see Bella watching with me with curiosity and fascination.
"True," he said. "Are you here yet?" he asked
I started to see Sam's house from the road, and I sped up. "Yep, I'm here," I said to Sam, and I hung up.
I pulled up in the driveway and before you could say Mississippi I was already on the other side of the car, opening up the passenger door for my imprint. She thanked me and took my hand as we headed inside. Her tiny hand fit perfectly in mine and I took a second to marvel at the silky skin. The door opened before we were able to actually knock. Sam appeared in the doorway, probably after sensing our presence, and invited us in. I guided Bella to the living room where the rest of the pack was already waiting. Wait, how did they get here so fast?
"We just got here a few minutes ago. Sam was gonna call a pack meeting." Embry answered after seeing my confused expression.
"Oh," I said lamely and took a seat on the loveseat. Bella, seeing as there was no more room to sit, sat on my lap and I fought the urge to wrap my arms around her tiny waist. She didn't know how tempting she was.
"So what's the news, boss?" Embry asked Sam.
"I think you should be asking Paul that question," Sam replied nonchalantly.
Immediately all eyes turned to me. Right at that moment I felt like crawling under a rock and dying. I absolutely had nothing to say and soon their gazes were starting to turn from anxiety to frustration and annoyance.
"Hey guys, food's ready," Emily announced as she walked into the room. Sam's eyes quickly diverted to her and his face broke into a huge smile.
He sat up and pulled her into his arms. She giggled as he repeatedly kissed the jagged scars on the right side of her face. She was still beautiful nonetheless.
"About time," Quil grumbled and strode over to the kitchen where the heavenly smell of pork roast and mashed potatoes was.
My stomach decided to make itself known and growled really loud. I hid my face in my imprint's chocolate tresses as they started laughing at me.
"Someone's hungry," Bella playfully whispered in my ear.
I couldn't hide the shiver that came as her hot breath brushed up against the shell of my ear. She giggled and I playfully growled at her.
"I hate to burst your bubble, but you're really not as scary as you think you are. I don't find you scary at all, actually," She was lying through her teeth.
She got up off of my lap and stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. She never looked sexier.
Her comment made me pause and raise my eyebrow in disbelief. Her face visibly paled as a wicked grin formed on my lips.
"You really shouldn't have said that," I chuckled and sat up, my 6'4 form towering over her petite form.
"Really? I shouldn't have?" She asked as she gazed up to see my face. She had to be no taller than 5'4; I was a whole foot taller than her.
"Definitely," I said, crouched down and barred my teeth.
She started to slowly back away, glaring at me with those wide doe-like eyes. She looked like an angry little kitten.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh yes, I would," I said and leaped too fast for her human eyes comprehend. We were airborne for a couple of seconds before crashing onto the sofa, knocking it into the wall. My arms were securely locked around her the whole time, making sure that she wouldn't get hurt. I landed with my back against the cushions; Bella was on top of me with her hand braced against my chest. I could tell that she was out of breath and pulled myself up into a sitting position, placing her conveniently on my lap.
"You were saying?" I growled playfully at her.
"That you are a very, very terrifying monster. Happy now?" I chuckled at her voice. It was a mix between sarcasm and shock.
"Um, can you let me go now?" She asked
"Maybe later," I said and she struggled against my iron group. Like that would ever work, I was about 10x stronger than she would ever be.
"Ugh!" She grunted and tried to unclasp my fingers that were secured around her clutching, clasping the fingers on my other hand.
"Let me go," She growled at me and I laughed.
"What's so funny?" She demanded and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Nothing," I shook my head.
Just then Embry decided to ruin the moment and barged into the room.
"Come on guys! We've been waiting for you!" He whined
"Two more minutes," I said
"Fine," He grumbled and dragged his feet back to the kitchen.
"Is he always like this?" Bella asked
"Pretty much," I answered, "How about we get some food now?"
"Sure," She nodded and I led her to the kitchen where everyone was seated at the table.
I grabbed the last two seats just as Emily came and set down the food. All the werewolves in the room moaned at the heavenly smell. I practically melted in my seat; I hadn't eaten in forever it seemed. Emily served us and sat down next to Sam.
Just as we were all about to dig in Emily stopped us.
She made a disapproving noise in the back of her throat, "We have to say grace first."
Everyone grumbled, including me, and reached out for each other's hands. Luckily Bella was on my right and Jared on my left.
"Quil, would you like to start?" Emily asked
"Um, sure," Quil said, "I'd like to thank God for the delicious food and for blessing us with family and friendship."
"Alright everybody, dig in," Emily said
Ten minutes later I was finishing my fifth plate while Bella was still on her first. She watched with wide eyes as I practically shoved the food my throat.
"What?" I asked with my mouth full of mashed potatoes.
She giggled and wiped away some of the creamy white material with her finger. My lips burned with need when her skin came in contact with it. Suddenly my jeans seemed to tighten. Oh God no, not here. But she had to make matters worse and ran her small pink tongue across her index finger, making the last traces of the food disappear into her mouth. My cock twitched. Fuck.
She winked and grinned at me, "Nothing."
She went back to her meal. I glanced down at my jeans. Damn, I needed a cold shower. Pronto. I devoured the rest of the food on my plate and excused myself to the bathroom.
Once I was finished I glanced into the mirror only to see a complete stranger. The man in the mirror looked…happy? His eyes were bright and full of joy. They were no longer two black holes of loneliness and hatred. I sighed knowing that they wouldn't last forever. I would have to leave Bella soon. My heart hurt just thinking about being away from her, not to mention with the bloodsucker. A growl rumbled deep in my chest as I remembered the way he had handled her back in the parking lot. My frame started to shake and I gripped the counter hard beneath my fingers. The wood whined and protested against my grip on it. I slammed my eyes shut tight and ground my teeth, trying to fight my instincts. But the events kept unfolding beneath my closed lids.
His filthy hands on her.
His cold lips attacking her own.
I felt the heat build up in between my shoulder blades and my spine. There was sharp pain in my muscles as they shifted beneath my skin and bones. It fucking hurt like a bitch and before I knew it the pain was over. I opened my eyes and saw the reflection of a gray horse-sized wolf staring back at me. Fuck, Sam was gonna kill me for phasing in the house.
I quickly phased back and made a grab for my clothes but I noticed they were in shreds, scattered across the bathroom floor. I cursed under my breath and looked around in the cabinets for anything I could use to cover myself until I got to Sam's room for some shorts. I froze as someone knocked at the door.
"Paul, are you okay?" Bella's soft voice rang through the wooden door.
"Um, yeah. Just hold on a sec." I said and glanced around the room, panic shooting through my system.
"Well hurry up before I get Sam to come up here and knock this door down," She said
Shit, not Sam. He'll kill me.
My gaze rested on the shower curtain and I sighed. Just my luck, it was all frilly with pink flower print and purple swirls. This must be Emily's bathroom. I looked over to my left and saw a white towel. I guess it's better than nothing. I grabbed it off the hook and tied it around my waist. It ended just a few centimeters above my knee.
"Paul," Bella said more impatiently this time.
"I'm coming," I said and unlocked the door just as Bella made an effort to open it. The door slammed open and she wound collapsing on top of me. Fuck me.
She looked up at me and I felt myself getting hard once again.
"S-s-s-sorry," She stuttered and scrambled up.
I climbed to my feet and her eyes widened to the size of baseballs. Her heartbeat picked up and her breathing turned to hyperventilating. Dammit, not again. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she collapsed to her knees. I managed to catch her before she cracked her head on the tile floor.
Shit, did she just faint?
I lifted her up into my arms and walked over to the guestroom that I use from time to time whenever I didn't feel like going home. Not that my parents cared anyway. I set her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her body. I kissed her forehead before shutting off the lights and closing the door behind me.
I knew that today was only the beginning of an emotional rollercoaster.
Hey guys, Amy here. Danimalz is currently in the hospital with a couple of bruised ribs and a sprained wrist, courtesy of her sister.
