Thanks so much for the reveiws! They make me super happy! XD
I don't own anything!
Paul POV
"She hates animals and everything that involves going outside." I say into my hands. I was sitting on a chair in Sam and Emily's kitchen. Sam was standing near Emily as she was baking something like always, and Jared was leaning against the counter with Kim tucked under his arm.
"She's like the total opposite of you." Jared laughed.
"How can a person hate animals? They're so cute." Kim said. "Especially wolf Jared."
"Unless she has had a bad experience with them." Emily said thoughtfully.
"If she hates animals she hates me!" Paul mumbled into his hands.
"It'll work out, Paul. Just give her some time. Nothing can keep imprints separated for long." Sam said assuring. Paul said nothing.
Anya POV
I feel so guilty. Paul looked so upset. I didn't expect him to look so sad. I wanted to curl up in a ball and disappear.
"Maybe I should go see him!" I shout as I stood up from my bed. Then a thought crossed my mind. I had no way of contacting him. I sink back onto my bed depressed.
"Hey Anya?" Lizzy said as she opened my door.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"We're going out tonight for dinner so you can some with us if you want." She said smiling.
"Sure, I'll go." I respond. I needed to get my mind off of Paul anyways.
At the Restaurant
We walk into the diner and take a booth. I flip through the menu not really interested in eating right now. Lizzy was talking to Miranda and helping her pick something out of the menu.
"Hey sis something bothering you?" Drew asked me. I quickly look up at him.
"No." I say too quickly. He narrows his eyes at me for a moment then looks back at his menu. I heave a sigh of relief. I was glad he didn't ask questions.
"Can I help you?" I hear a waitress ask someone behind us.
"I'm heading to the bathroom so I'll be right back." I say as I stood up. I walk slowly to the bathroom since sitting at the table was making antsy.
I glance out the window for a minute then look at the take out section of the diner. I stumbled when I saw who was standing in front of the cash register. Guess who I stumbled into. Yup, Paul.
"Sorry." I say as he had caught me easily and set me back up. His hands felt oddly warm on my arms.
"It's alright." He said smiling faintly as he released me.
"Um, about the other day I'm really sorry." I said biting my lip feeling the guilt wash over me again.
"It's okay I shouldn't have really asked you out so suddenly like that." Paul said running a huge hand through his short black hair.
"No I was fine with it but it's just the activity that's the problem." I said shyly.
"Then you wanna go to the beach or something?" he asked hopefully.
"Sure, I would love to." I replied grinning. I had been wanting to go to the beach for a while.
"Great some of my friends will be there too! But can I have your phone number so I could contact you?" he asked smiling like he won the jackpot.
"Yeah, can I just enter it in your phone?" I ask. He hands me it and I quickly type it in and saved it.
"All done!" I say smiling.
"Thanks!" he grinned. "I'll text you the time and stuff later!"
"Okay." I nod.
"Well I got to go." He said pointing to the bags of food. "Foods getting cold."
"Wow that's a lot of food." I say shocked. How could he stay this skinny and good looking with all that food.
"Yeah I eat a lot." He laughed.
"Well see you later." I say giving him a small wave then I headed to the bathroom as I squealed inside my head.
In the Bathroom
The door opens and I look up at the mirror to see who it was as I finished washing my hands.
"Why didn't you tell me about that hot guy?" Lizzy said pouting.
"Sorry, geez." I said drying my hands now on the hand drying.
"So what were you two talking about?" she asked dragging out the word about.
"He asked me if I wanted to go to the beach with him and his friends since I turned down his first hiking offer." I say looking at the wall.
"Well you were always bad at exercise." Lizzy said shaking her head. Lizzy and I have known each other since middle school. She's two years older than me though. "But still a hot guy asked you out and you said yes!"
"I know!" I said smiling and almost squealing.
"So what are going to wear?" she asked me with an evil looking smile.
A few days later on the day of the date
I was standing in front of the store just like Paul had told me too. I was wearing a t-sit and some capris. I had a one piece bathing suit on underneath. I had to fight with Lizzy so I could wear a one piece instead of a bikini. I am kinda self-conscience of my body and I have another reason but I never like talking about it. I have a pudgy stomach too. It wasn't anything obese but I had a little belly sticking out. Geez I'm a girl and I like to eat junk food.
"So you and Paul?" Kim asked me smiling knowingly.
"I don't know." I say looking away from her.
"Uh huh." She said grinning. She was looking really pretty with her bikini top and shorts. The weather was warm again which made it almost swimsuit weather. Her silky black hair was tied up in a cute bun while mine was in a side braid to keep it out of my face.
"Hey Anya!" I hear someone yell. I turn and see a half-naked Paul and Jared running up to us. Jared kisses Kim on the lips swiftly as Paul takes my hand and it felt instantly warm in his grasp. He squeezes it gently and then we started walking towards the beach.
Once we walked for about 5 minutes we stepped onto First Beach. The sand was soft but not really warm. We walked over to a cute couple who were sitting together on a blanket with a few picnic baskets next to them.
"Hey Sam, Emily." Jared said casually.
"Oh hey guys." Who I thought was Sam said looking up at us. "I'm guessing this is Anya?"
"Yeah." I say smiling. He stands up and became a giant too. The woman next to him stood up too and I saw she had scars on her face but I quickly focused on her pretty eyes so I wouldn't be rude. She really was a gorgeous woman even with her scars. I felt kinda jealous.
"I'm Emily." She said offering me her hand. I shook it smiling then shook Sam's hand.
"I'm Sam." He said as I shook his hand.
"Well you kids go enjoy the water while the last of this warm weather lasts." Sam said shooing us away. I peel off my capris as Kim takes off her shorts. I kept on my t-shirt since it was still slightly cold.
"Let's go!" Paul yelled as he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. I squealed in surprise and I saw Jared gently pick Kim up bridal style. Paul ran to the water and threw me in. I splashed around but Paul quickly stood me back up. Jared had set Kim down easily before the water and they walked in a little distance from us.
I look back and saw Sam and Emily smiling at us like proud parents. I look around again but saw no sign of Paul. I started to panic. The water was only up to my chest and it was only up to Paul's waist so he couldn't drown right?
"Paul?" I called out worried. I did a 360 then felt something pull me into the water. I screamed as I was drug underwater and splashed the water again.
Paul lifts me up and cradles me in his huge arms laughing. I glared at him. I jump out of his grasp and splash water on his face. He had a shocked expression on his face then he grinned an evil smile.
"Oh no you didn't." he said.
"Yup I did." I say grinning. He picked me up and threw me into the water. I hid underwater but he dragged me up quickly.
"You suck at hiding." He laughed.
"Well it is hard hiding in clear water." I say rolling my eyes. "How did you do it?"
"Magic." He said wagging his eyebrows. I smack his arm.
"It's lunch guys and girls, come on!" I hear Emily yell to us. I jumped on Paul's back as he ran towards the blanket. Kim sitting on Jared's shoulders like a little kid but they looked so cute together.
"Okay so we have sandwiches, mac and cheese, grilled cheese, hot dogs, chili, wings, hamburgers, salad, fries, mashed potatoes and some pasta. For dessert we have some pie, ice cream and some chocolate cake." Emily said pointing to everything. "Drinks are in the basket."
"Wow, you made all of this yourself?" I asked in shock.
"Yup." She said smiling.
"I feel really bad for not helping." I say guilty.
"Oh don't worry I enjoy doing all this. All little help sometimes would be nice though." She said honestly.
"I'll help out." I say offering.
"That would be great since Kim burns everything." Emily said emphasizing everything as she rolled her eyes laughing.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to burn the eggs." Kim said blushing. Can you even burn eggs?
"Okay enough chit chat, I'm hungry!" Paul said as the guys lunged at the food.
Please please please review! Thanks so much!
