Disclaimer: i own nothing :(
When I woke up I wasn't in Paul's arms any more, the only thing around me was a comforter that didn't belong to me along with the bed and pillow I was drooling all over. I flushed, and crept out of the bed to find out where I actually was. I poked my head out of the doorway and smelled bacon and pancakes from downstairs. I moved down the stairs and looked in the kitchen to see Paul moving around with a smile on his face making food. I blinked surprised, sat on a kitchen stool, and silently watched him as he bustled around the kitchen the smile intact even after he had almost chopped off a finger when he was cutting fruit. Once he had everything plated and ready he turned, about to make his way up to get me I assumed, before yelping and jumping back in surprise clutching his chest where his heart laid.
"Scared the shit outta me, Jake" he said somewhat still breathless and I laughed.
"I could tell" I got up and went to go look over the food and see if he had made anything prior to my sneaking out to watch him cook. Paul stood behind me and was about to wrap his arms around my waist in a loving gesture before he had realized that we weren't a couple yet and I wasn't even sure that we would work out as such. When he retracted his arms without touching me, I inwardly sighed in relief that I wouldn't have to tell him to move his arms and risk the look on his face. I turned around to tell him that I was sorry but the same smile from earlier was plastered on his face and he shook his head, silencing my apology. He and I both grabbed the food and had set the different dishes on the table, once we were settled and we were deciding on what to eat I spoke up.
"I didn't know you could cook hell I don't even think I've been in your house before" he nodded.
"I tend to like my privacy so don't start telling people where I live," we shared a laugh "but yeah, I mean I live by myself gotta feed myself too duh" I stuck my tongue out oat his grinning face. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it and smiled back before taking a bite of a fluffy fruit filled pancake and gasped after I swallowed it. "Is it ok? Did I burn it? I can make you another one if you want," I stared at him then the plate and back at him wide eyed "you're kinda freaking me out Jake."
"Who taught you how to cook?" he furrowed his brows in confusion.
"I taught myself, again, why?"
"I think," I swallowed another bite of the heavenly pancake "you cook better than Emily" I looked up just in time to see him blush and look away and shifting in his seat. I got back to my food and had finished six more pancakes along with twenty strips of finely cook thin pieces of bacon and soft juicy sausages. I stopped eating when I noticed Paul just looking at me the blush still there; I tilted my head in a confused fashion until I actually remembered what I did whenever I had such delicious food as this. I swallowed down a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and turned back to Paul, a deeper blush on my face giving me a slight headache from the amount of blood cells. "I'm sorry," I said nervously. Paul cleared his throat and shook his head looking down at his half-eaten food.
"It-it's uhh fine, glad to know it's uh good and, yeah" he finished awkwardly. We sat in silence with me staring at my empty plate and Paul looking at me every so often before he slid his pancake on to my plate. I looked up at him in surprise because Paul never shared food, with anyone, and he just smiled back before taking his empty plate into the kitchen. I ate the given pancake, careful not to make any noise and took my plate silently into the kitchen to put it in the sink. When I walked in I saw Paul washing his dish and a few others somehow getting water spots on the front of his shirt and some suds in his black hair. He turned toward me and gave me a brief grin before continuing, I gave him my dish and watched him get even more water everywhere before I stepped in telling him to go change. By the time I was done, he had come back down the stairs he was dressed in black jean shorts with a form fitting green tee shirt.
"Hey, Paul," he looked up from the refrigerator door "my dad knows I'm here right?" hit bit his lip before nodding.
"I told him you needed to cool off and you said that you needed time away from home to do it" I slowly nodded and bit the inside of my cheek when id realized he was still staring.
"Do I have something on my face?" he shut the door still biting his lip he started walking closer "Paul?" he stopped in front of me his eyes were dark with some sort of turmoil.
"Is it bad that, even though I know you aren't completely into this or me, hell if the thought of us, that" I paused and released a breath "I want to kiss you?" I stood frozen at his question. My first thought, run, run and not talk to him for a long while but I couldn't do that to him I couldn't just hurt him like that. My second thought was to tell him that it made me uncomfortable and that I still was really sure he really liked me. However, if I did kiss him then it would tell him that I was willing to attempt to believe in what he wants us to have together, although I did tell him I would try, words were words and they meant nothing unless there was an action willing to back it up. Paul must have really taken into account what he'd said and immediately backed up regret written on his face "sorry, sorry I didn't" he stopped then turned around and left the house out the back door leaving me alone. I leaned against the countertop very much confused about my own thoughts of actually kissing him. The vibrating in my pocket broke me out of my thoughts and I took my cell phone from my pocket to see that Embry was calling me.
"What?" Embry scoffed
"That's it? No 'hey Embry' or a 'hey my greatest friend ever'" I snorted.
"Again, What?"
"Fine, whatever, anyway where are you? Jared is dragging all the guys out tonight" I eyed the door Paul had left through.
"Where?"
"Some club in port Angeles that caters to all" I looked at the phone in confusion before putting it back to my ear.
"Caters to all? What does that mean?" Embry laughed.
"It's an all orientation club Jake, you need to get out more," Embry continued laughing for a bit after.
"Oh, yeah sure I guess I'll go"
"Good, now where are you"
"Why"
"Cause' I came to your house to come get you but you weren't here" I looked at the window and saw the sun was still shining so I couldn't have been anywhere past 11.
"Nowhere, I'll meet you at Quil's" I said walking toward the back door.
"Fine Mr. Secrets I can take a hint, later" he hung up soon after. I closed the phone, walked out the back, and found Paul sitting on a tree stump facing the forest line. I approached him cautiously, for what reason I'm not sure, and took a seat next to him.
"Jared already called me and told me," I nodded and sat staring at the ground then I looked at his face.
"Are you okay?" Paul snorted.
"I should be asking you that Jake, it's a surprise you haven't run away from me yet" I didn't tell him that when he asked me that question I did in fact want to run.
"Paul I want to like you, maybe in the future I will, but now," Paul finally turned his head to face me and he placed his hand on top of mine.
"I'm not going to force you, and I think I know why you're afraid," he held up his other hand to silence me "it's because we don't really know much about each other right? Except what I told you and the basics?" I nodded "and you're wondering why I like you?" I nodded again "well, I'll tell you, I like you because you're emotional I can pick out everything you're feeling just from your eyes. It shows you care about anything enough to wear your heart on your sleeve when I can't. The Paul you see now, is the Paul I want to be, but in the real world this," he pointed at himself "isn't exactly accepted. The only way to get what you want is to take it and I can't do it with my emotions like you can. I like you because of how mature you've become in the past year and a half. Even though in the beginning you hated being a shifter but since then you've learned to embrace that part of you and are to possibly become the alpha when you're ready. It may sound like I just want into your pants but I don't, I want," he stopped and briefly looked away. He looked back at me with foreign emotions like compassion and respect flashed in his eyes "I want whatever you're willing to give whether it be a friend or a lover" I wanted to believe him but there was the one thing still holding me back that I knew he wouldn't be able to fight.
"What if you find you're imprint? Where would that leave me Paul? I don't," I looked away and tried to swallow the lump in my throat "if I started to love you then you left me for some else, I don't know if I could handle it" Paul's arms encircled my waist finally, he lifted me up and sat me in between his legs.
"you'll never have to worry about that" I was going to ask what he meant until his phone started to ring. "What do you want?" he answered gruffly. "I'm busy, no Jared, I said, whatever ill meet you there in 20 minutes bye" he sighed blowing my hair before laying his chin on my shoulder. His conversation reminded me that I was supposed to meet Embry and Quils's in a few minutes.
"I gotta go Paul" I felt his arms tighten a bit more but he released me a second later a frown on his face "I have to go meet Embry and Quil in a few" he nodded, grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward his truck.
"I'll drop you off" I got in the passenger's side and he closed my door before getting in on his own side.
"Are you sure? You don't have too." He smiled at me before starting the truck.
"Is all good Jake, oh damn hold on gotta lock up the house." He took his keys out the ignition and left to lock the door. I sat in the cab left to my thoughts until he came back minutes later. During the drive, Paul started asking basic questions about me like he'd done on the forest path asking things like my favorite food, color, car etc. When he pulled up in front of Quil's I saw Embry turning corner and immediately seeing me get out of Paul's car, eyes wide. Paul and I nodded at each other and Paul sent me a subtle wink before pulling from the curb and heading back the direction we had come.
"You were with Paul?" I snorted at Embry before walking into quil's house wishing the clock would turn to eight and that I could finally get out of La Push for a while.
