Nicole's POV

I'm pretty sure I knew who it was but I just glanced up to confirm that it was in fact Paul. He towered over me shirtless. I know it was nice out but not nice enough to run around shirtless, come on.

"What did you want to talk to me about Paul?" I asked even though I didn't want to know.

"Um, well I don't know how to phrase this why don't you walk with me?" He stuttered looking really nervous.

"Fine, but one wrong move and I'm screaming rape." I threatened and he just chuckled at me.

We walked along standing far apart, not to be confused as a couple, I was silent waiting for him to speak up.

"I know your not going to believe me when I tell you this..." He started and paused deep in thought.

"Just spit it out Lahote and maybe I'll surprise you."

"I just want to explain myself to you, I'm not the guy you think I am. I'm different I swear, I would never cheat on someone or hurt them like that on purpose." This time I started laughing and he glared, "why are you laughing?"

"You're right I don't believe you. You really except me to believe you cheating on Jessica was an accident. What did Lauren just trip onto your dick and your pants happen to fall down." I continued to chuckle.

"Hey, you haven't heard my side of the story, and I know for a fact you heard Lauren's and you forgave her. It takes two to tango and I'm not saying it's an accident because I am at fault I know that."

I stopped laughing after that, the Paul I knew would have never admitted that, I hear him out.

"You make a good point I'll hear you out." I say as I sit on a piece of driftwood seeing Emily and Sam in the distance watching us but I turn away.

"Lauren was supposed to be tutoring me that night at her house, and at first that's what we were doing. Except she sucked at Algebra as much as I did." I smirked at that knowing it was true. "I asked to use her bathroom and she told to use the one in her room for some stupid reason, she showed me to the bathroom and said she'd go wait downstairs. When I came out of the bathroom she was completely naked and I was a horny 17 year old boy and let my other head do the talking for me. Well you know the rest since you walked in on it." He signed at the end with his head down.

"Thank you for being honest with me Paul and owning up to what you did. I guess you have changed a little, maybe its from those boys you hang out with. You all look like brothers." I chuckle.

"I consider them my brothers. Thanks for listening, and we're getting together for a bonfire on Friday, you should come." He looks at me nervous again.

"What like a date." I tease him until I see the look on his face get more stressed out. "I'll be there if Bella will be." His face light up when I said that.

"I'm sure Jacob or Embry already invited her. Come on." He gets up and starts to head over to Sam and Emily.

I follow along next to him, feeling that we could be friends and hopefully civilized as we were just now. Emily has a huge grin on her face as I walk over and Sam has his arms wrapped around her staring down at her happily.

"I'm so glad he's finally told you, now I wont be the only imprint." Emily says.

Immediately Sam and Paul freeze and stare each other down. It takes me a minute to process what Emily has said.

"The only what? What's an imprint, sounds painful." I look around at everyone.

Bella's POV

Cliff diving has become one of my favorite past time with Jacob and I don't mind when Embry joins in, he's become a close friend with me these past couple of weeks. Now Quil is joining the pack too as of today. We're just waiting for him to phase back, according to Jared they still haven't gotten him to phase back yet.

I go to the edge again getting nervous all over again, when Jacob grabs my hand and smiles at me.

"Ready, I'll go with you." I nod right before we jump.

I let go of Jacob as he goes into a dive and I just flail my arms and fall instead screaming in joy the whole way down. And just like that the rush is over. I swim to the top of the water to find Jacob waiting for me.

"Your shivering we should get out." He laughs at me and swims ahead but not to fast for me not to be able to catch up. We swim in and start top head to the group when we notice them all frozen. "Something happened."

Paul POV

What did Emily just say? Why would Sam tell her or make her believe I was telling Nicole I imprinted on her. She's not ready for this, she just forgave me for my past. How is she supposed to react to me being a shape-shifter oh and by the way sometimes we find our soul-mates. If you couldn't guess I'm your imprint. Yeah that will go over well, especially since she's a celebrity and 100s of guys think she's their soul mate.

Calm down Paul you don't want to phase in front of her. Don't think about all those guys with her poster in their room. Especially don't think about what they do while staring at her photo. Shit, stop shaking, stop it, say something to her. Please someone answer her, I have nothing.
