Chapter 4:
"If sex is a pain in the ass then you're probably doing it wrong, Peetu!" Paul choked on his own saliva while listening to a conversation his imprint was having with her cousin. He had come to pick her up according to their plans yesterday to go see the hall.
They were still inside the house but somewhere near the door. Just then the door opened and out came his Millie followed by Preety. Preety opened her mouth as if to retort but then saw Paul standing beside his truck and nudged Millie with a smirk. Well if this was the man she was going nuts over, Preety could understand why.
Millie looked over then and found Paul looking at her in what could be described as slight astonishment and was there something in his mouth? Seemed like he was chewing on something and then forgot to close his mouth.
"Hey Paul! You're on time!" Millie was surprised. He seemed like a busy guy. Yesterday he got a bunch of calls while he was with her even though he didn't really attend any of them. And when did guys turn up on time anyways? She was pleased though.
Paul moved forward then and hugged her. He couldn't help it. Now that he had found her he wanted to spend his time with her. And her skin was so soft and she smelled spicy. Hmm...it was extremely pleasing. Now he understood why wolves preferred to keep their mates close. With their heightened senses they could see and smell everything and it wasn't always pleasant. It was a feeling like being caught in a crowded elevator on a hot summer day. Yeah not the best of times. And because of all the disgusting smells, you felt sorry for midgets because crowded elevators smelled different to them. Ermm.. eww.. the point being that with your mate near you her smell, her presence overpowered everything else. It was like she was the only one whose smell and touch you could feel amongst the crowd. That made everything better.
So ignoring the fact that this was only their second meeting Paul went ahead and hugged her and felt like he was floating when instead of pulling back she hugged him too. Oh boy! Little Paul likes it too!
God! How was he supposed to not jump her bones when she smelled and felt so good. His wolf clawing at him to allow it to take over and follow his instincts to mate, to claim her, to let everybody know she was his. Yeah but then she'd see for herself what an animal he truly was and leave him for good. The thought made him angry.
He didn't notice he was shaking but he felt his imprint's eyes on him. He met her gaze, saw her smiling at him and stopped shaking immediately, a face splitting grin across his face which in turn made Millie blush.
God he was...just yum! Thought Millie. She had trouble carrying on her day normally after meeting him. She couldn't get him out of her mind not that she wanted to but Millie knew that she probably wasn't what Paul looked for in a girl. He seemed the kind who'd go for the tall and blonde types. And Millie was far from it. She wasn't tall or blonde or skinny for that matter. Paul seemed the kind of guy who liked arm candy and why wouldn't he when he could get any girl. Millie sighed. She was doomed she felt.
Paul feeling the mix of emotions from her quickly went to her side wanting to soothe her sudden gloomy mood.
"Hey, how have you been? It's been too long", he said.
Millie giggled, Paul melted. "We met yesterday didn't we?" she asked with a smile. She knew he was flirting but she couldn't find it in herself to turn him down. And a little fun never hurt anybody did it?
"Yup that's what I said, too long!" Paul said. Millie laughed and Preety smiled at their interaction. It was good to see her like this. God knows she'd blow a gasket when she found out her father's plans for her. Preety shuddered. No. She would let her cousin enjoy herself and leave the bad news to her uncle to reveal. What was that quote, an angry person is seldom reasonable, a reasonable person is seldom angry. Yeah, Millie was not a very reasonable person.
Shortly after they left for the hall.
Millie checked out the hall. It seemed good enough. Actually better than she had anticipated. It was large enough. Looked like it would be able to house at least 200 people squished in, 150 comfortably and 100 would have space left to walk around leisurely. That sounded just great to Millie because they had rounded off their guest list at around 100. So maybe they could set up a dance floor. Hmm..
Millie was lost in thought when she looked up to find Paul in conversation with Jeff. As if sensing her gaze, he looked at her and smiled softly. Millie answered with her own smile. Paul strode over then leaving Jeff to gape at him because he was still talking when Paul ditched him to walk over to his girl.
"So Jeff just offered us a discount as well. There aren't very many things happening right now so...yeah", Paul trailed off.
"Really? That's great! Now we can actually think about setting up a dance floor. We can do that right?" speculated Millie.
"Anything you want princess." Paul replied looking at her with so much affection that Millie felt warm all over. Had anybody else ever looked at her like that? Nope. This was a look nobody at the receiving end could forget easily.
"Thanks!"Millie said. "This is really great. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Now we can just go ahead with the planning of other details."
"Let me know if you need help with anything. Our pack of boys is good with lifting heavy stuff so don't hesitate to ask."Paul did not want her to worry about stuff he and the boys could handle easily.
"That's really sweet of you."
And just like that one of Millie's assigned tasks for the party was done. She had a feeling that with Paul beside her this is how things would be. They booked the hall then and thanked Jeff before heading out.
Suddenly Millie sensed Paul tensing. And that was strange because she found him to be a very relaxed kind of guy. It must take a lot to make him react like that.
She looked up at him to see he seemed nervous and upset all at the same time. She followed his line of sight to see a leggy blonde heading their way or his way at least. Ah..must be an ex. Well at least she seemed smart and bright what with her black rimmed glasses and pencil skirt.
The blonde came up to Paul and attempted to wrap him in a hug. Attempted cause Paul was quick to step to the side and avoid it.
"Hi Paul! What no hug for an old flame?"She said cheekily.
Paul looked at her with what could only be described as disgust.
"Hello Mindy. How have you been," Paul replied not wanting to appear brash in front of Millie but having no intention of carrying on a long conversation with the skank either.
"Seriously is this how you'll greet me now?" Blondie said before noticing Millie for the first time.
"Oh is this what you go for now? What? Are you tired of gorgeousness Paul?" Mindy sneered at Millie.
"If you know what's best for you, you will leave us alone." Paul said through clenched teeth. He wasn't pleased with where this conversation was going. He didn't notice that he was practically growling and vibrating.
But the girls did. Mindy wanted to have the last word in but looking at Paul she felt slightly nervous with the way his eyes narrowed dangerously towards her. He was sexy but right now he looked lethal.
"Whatever I was too good for you anyway." Mindy walked away then.
Paul was shaking bad now. The good for nothing skank had just insinuated that Paul wasn't good enough for her.
"I am sorry. I didn't think she'd be so stupid." Paul said trying to soothe Millie about the fact that Mindy had insulted her.
"Hey it's OK. I mean light travels faster than sound, right? Some people just appear bright before they speak. Not your fault. Besides she's blonde!"
Paul looked at Millie, his shaking stopping abruptly before he barked out a hearty laugh. Yeah! His girl was one of a kind he concluded.
