Someone like you
Paul was running through my mind. He was like a song that you just can't get out of your head. He's always there. Maybe it was because I'm so sick of school and can't wait for graduation. Four weeks. I cannot wait to get out of this hell hole.
I pulled my phone from my pocket, looking at the time and I realized I had a message. Unknown number. Huh.
Miss me? How's school? xoPaul
I smiled. I missed him. I really did. I know we were only friends for right now, but actually loving him didn't seem hard to think of at all.
Hell yeah I do! Schools school. It can't really get much worse that this. And hey, pay attention! (: xoxBella
I laughed silently as I thought of him. He really did make me happy.
Yeah well so should you! (: anyway, let me know when you're out of school. I'll come over. xoPaul.
Will do xoxBella
Great. Now I just couldn't wait until school got out and I was even more distracted. How am I possibly going to concentrate with him on my mind. I already couldn't stop thinking of his chiseled chest, rock hard abs that are just dying for me run my hands over. His eyes. Damn, those were another story. They were so incredibly beautiful that I swear I could get lost in them. Whenever he looked at me I melted under his gaze. I really have to stop thinking about this or I'll embarrass myself.
I sighed as the bell rang and walked to lunch. I quickly bought myself lunch and sat down in between Angela and Mike.
"Hey Ang! How are you?" I said smiling.
"Good Bella, and you?" Angela said in her naturally quiet voice.
"I'm great!" I said with probably the goofiest grin ever on my face.
"You seem really happy Bella. I'm glad. Hey, this Friday we should do something." Angela suggested.
"Yeah defenitley, let me check with Paul because there's this bonfire in La Push that I think you'd love to go to! I'm sure he'd be alright if you came along!" I said. I felt the need to invite her for some reason. I just feel like somethings going to happen. Something good.
"That sounds fun, let me know!" she said with a smile.
"Hey Bella can I ask you a question?" the ever annoying voice of Mike said.
"Sure."
"What are you doing tomorrow night? I figured now that you seem happier and all and Cullen is gone we could go out?" he asked, his eyes filled with hope.
I sighed, he never would give up would he? "No Mike I don't think so. I'm going to be busy."
"What? Who would you be busy with?" He asked, he was probably sure that I would say yes.
"You really don't need to know that, do you?" I snapped.
"Mike don't worry about it, it's probably no one. This is Bella we're talking about." Lauren said in her bitchy cold voice.
"Excuse me? What did you say?" I replied calmly.
"You heard me, bitch." she spat back.
"Really? Why Lauren, tell me why you don't think I can't get anyone."
"You're plain, boring, you've looked like hell these past months, you wear ugly clothes, you have to boobs, your eyes look like dirt and your hair looks like shit." she said.
"Bull shit you bitch. At least I don't have fake boobs, nasty ass bleach blonde hair, and I don't dress like a fucking hooker working the corner!" I screamed in her face. She just looked at me like I grew another head. "You have NO clue what it's like just being dumped in the fucking woods by someone who promised they'd be there for you forever! You don't have any clue what it's like! It breaks your heart! You wouldn't know that because you're far to busy fucking everything that walks by you!"
"I don't know what your talking about." she spat.
"Oh, I know you do and I'm positive everyone in this whole school does too!" I screamed in her face. I've had enough. I had to get out of there before I blew a fucking casket.
I bolted out of the lunch room and went to my locker. When I got there I just sat down and cried. I didn't realize how long I had sat there until the bell rang, signalling that it was time for my next class.
I sighed, standing up and wiping the tears from my face. I wasn't going to let her do this to me. I don't deserve this kind of treatment from such a bitch.
I got my stuff and went to my next class. Spanish four. It's so ridiculously easy. I walked in and sat down next to Angela.
"Hey Bella. Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just really hate Lauren." I sighed, looking at the clock. 2 hours and I'm out of here.
"Yeah, she deserved it." Angela agreed.
"It's about time someone put her in her place."
"Yeah, it's been long over due, trust me." Angela sighed.
The rest of the day was uneventful, boring, stupid, pointless… you get the point. Now I'm just sitting at home waiting for Paul to get here. He was the best part of my day, the best part of everyday. It was safe to say I was falling for him… falling hard.
Just then there was a knock at my door and I ran right to the door, surprisingly without tripping. As I opened the door I stared at Paul, taking in all his beauty, and damn he was beautiful.
"Hey gorgeous, you just gonna stand there and stare at me, or are you going to let me in?" he said with his signature smirk.
"Oh, sorry." I said with a blush.
He just laughed. And said, "I love it when I make you blush." Which only made me blush harder, and made him laugh harder.
"I'm glad you think it's so funny," I said.
"Hey now, I was just kidding, you know that, right?" he said with all seriousness.
"Yes Paul, I know. Now sit down. I know you're hungry." I said with a smile as I pushed him down into a chair.
"Yes ma'am!" He said eagerly.
I flitted around the room making him a plate of sandwiches because I knew that just one wasn't going to do it for him. I put the plate in front of him and to say he ate them like a wild animal would be an understatement. I swear to God that he at them in like three seconds.
"Thanks Bell, they were great!" he said with enthusiasm.
"Welcome Paulie!" I said with a laugh.
He growled, "Paulie, really?"
"Yup! Paulie you are!" I laughed. He just rolled his eyes and smiled at me.
"So…. What do you wanna do?" he asked.
"Doesn't matter to me." I said.
"T.V?"
"Sure" I said with a smile as I sat on the couch.
He sat next to me and pulled me into his side. And yeah I know we aren't dating or anything, but he was my imprint and I had to be close to him. I knew we wouldn't be just friends for long though.
"Ooh stop!" I said as I saw one of my favorite movies come on.
"Really Bell? I don't even understand half the crap they say on these things!" he whined.
"Nope, my house my rules and we're watching Pride and Prejudice." I said while hitting his chest lightly.
"Fine." He whined.
About half way through the movie Paul was already sleeping. He was snoring softly and had somehow managed to sprawl himself out on the couch with his head in my lap. I smiled softly and played with his hair. I loved his hair. It was so soft and it was the prettiest shade of black.
Just as the movie ended he started to stir. He sat up and looked at me with sleep filled eyes.
"Aww shit! I'm sorry Bell, I didn't mean to fall asleep." He apologized while still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Don't worry about it, it's fine." I smiled and leaned into his chest.
"When will Charlie be home?" he questioned.
Just then I heard the cruiser pull up in the drive way. "Um, I guess now." I said with a sheepish smile.
"Hey Bell wha-" he stopped looking at Paul, "whos this Bella?"
"Hi Dad, this is Paul. He's my friend from La Push." I said while smiling at Paul.
"Hmm, well hello Paul, will you be joining us for dinner?" he asked, while hanging his belt up on the rack.
Paul looked at me and I nodded, "If that's all right with you Chief." He said, giving my dad his most dazzling smile.
Dad just looked at Paul, then at me and grunted, mumbling something about taking a shower then watching the game.
"Well, that went well." I said.
"I guess. I've had worse." Paul shrugged.
I laughed. "Well, he certainly likes you way more than he ever liked Edward."
Paul growled. "Damn right he should."
I put my hand on Pauls arm, "Hey it's okay." I whispered to him.
He smiled at me and pulled me into his arms, wrapping me in them tight. This was when I felt safest. I know my dads a cop and all, but with Paul I feel like he can shield me from anything. He was rock, my shield, my knight in shining armor.
"I love you, Paul." I whispered without thinking.
He tensed up, looking at me, then he relaxed, smiled and said, "I love you too Isabella. So much more than you could ever know."
"Does this mean we're more than just friends?" I laughed holding him tighter.
"Jeeze baby, you're not even going to let me ask?" He laughed.
"Sorry," I blushed.
He laughed looking me in the eye and saying, "Isabella Marie Swan will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course!" I said while smashing my lips to his.
When I said I loved hugging Paul I didn't know what kissing him was going to be like and damn, it was the greatest thing every. It was a gentle slow kiss. I know now just how much I love this man. A lot of people would think we're rushing this. I mean, we've only knew each other for three days, but we've imprinted. We'll always be together and I know with Paul, there's nobody else that I would want.
Charlie grunted as he walked into the living room and me and Paul jumped apart, me blushing like mad.
"Um, I guess I'll just go start dinner." I said, rushing to the kitchen.
As I made dinner I heard the light, barley their conversation between Paul and Charlie. Of course, being males they talked about sports. I quite honestly never really took and interest in sports considering the fact that I never played them. I was far too klutzy for that.
"Dinners ready." I yelled into the living room and as soon as that was out of my mouth the guys had rushed into the kitchen.
Conversation over dinner was light, everyone was too busy eating food and really didn't want to talk .
"This is great Bell." Paul smiled at me in between bites.
"Thanks" I smiled back.
"So, you two dating I presume?" Charlie grunted out.
"Uh, yeah dad… we are." I said.
"So, Paul, you're from the Rez, right?" Dad asked.
"Yes sir." He nodded.
"Call me Charlie. What grade you in?" He said.
"Thanks Charlie. I'm a senior this year." Paul replied.
"I woulda never guessed. All you boys at the Rez look like that?"
"Just a few of us." Paul laughed.
"Hmm. Well... nice to meet you Paul. Be careful kids, thanks for dinner Bells. I'm going to bed got to work early in the morning." He said, depositing his dish in the sink and walking up the stairs.
"Well, that went well." Paul said smiling and taking my hand, pulling me up from my chair and bringing me into the living room.
"It did." I said smiling back.
"Now…. Where were we before your dad interrupted us?" he asked.
"Right about here," I whispered as I kissed him.
This is right where I wanted to be. With Paul, because now, Paul was my home. He was my one and only. Forever and for always. A promise. One that will not be broken.
