Lily of the Valley
Chapter 6 To fast too early
The heat was practically radiating off of him and his hot breath fanned lightly over my face. I closed my eyes and leaned in to him closer, our noses brushed each other. Then the door opened and the guys poured in and Paul and I looked towards the door.
I looked back at Paul and he had a smirk on his face like he'd just been caught with his hand in a cookie jar.
"We're home." Quil announced jumping on to the farther end of the couch. "Hey what's Ms. Feisty doing here?"
Vibrations started in Paul's chest and a small growl escaped his lips.
"Hey, hey you okay?" I asked Paul and placed my hand on his cheek.
"Yeah I'm fine." He said closing his eyes and taking a breath.
"Paul!" I heard Sam yell from the kitchen where the woman Paul was talking to disappeared to.
"I'm coming!" Paul growled.
He unwrapped his arms from around me and stood taking his warmth with him.
"Paul outside now." I heard Sam whisper.
"Oh crap what in the world happened this time?" Jake commented, "I'll be back in a sec."
The boys and could hear shouting but none paid attention. Although I wondered why Paul was getting chewed-out for. I looked around the room and noticed two new boys sitting not too far away, on the floor, watching a re-run of Supernatural.
"Hey I don't think I've met them." I said leaning over slightly to Quil.
"Oh yeah that's Colin and Brady. Hey Colin, Brady meet Lin, Lin Colin is the one on your left with the big mouth, and Brady is the one with the excellent ears on your left." Quil explained folding his arms behind his head.
Both Colin and Brady looked like the rest of the guys, but their faces showed slight air of a mix of teenage and childish nature. Besides their faces their bodies showed no sign of child nor teenage air to them, they were however less beefy than any of the boys but you'd only notice if you looked closely. All in all they all looked like brothers to me and if you never knew their last names you'd never know they weren't really related.
"You've got to be kidding me!" I heard Jake bellow from outside.
"Oh great what happened now. I hope they aren't starting a fuss over…." The woman was cut off when she noticed I was sitting on the couch. "Oh hi Lin I'm Emily, Sam's fiancé, weird isn't it meeting me so late when me and Sam plan to be getting married around next week? Anyways foods done," She was cut short when all of the boys in the house rushed to the dining room, "but you have to wait until Sam, Jacob, and Paul get in." After she'd finished her sentence the whole room with the boys in it was filled with 'awe's'.
The first thing I noticed about Emily was that half of her face was beautiful beyond comparison to mine, or at least that's what I thought, and the other half was covered with three raging scars. The scars looked like they went on even beyond to point where the neck of her flannel shirt stopped, and at that point I had to keep myself from staring because I knew that getting them wasn't even as worse as having the memory of how it happened. And luckily for the boys Paul, Jacob, and Sam entered shortly after the boys went to sit down to wait for them.
"Finally I thought I was going to starve to death." Jared wined from his place at the table earning a head slap from Sam much like Quil had gotten in the truck not long ago.
"Hands off the food, ladies first." Jacob stated sliding a chair out and sitting in it.
"Well come on Lin we won't bit……much." Paul joked pulling out a chair but not sitting in it, and instead stood behind it leaning on it.
I decided it'd be ok to eat over at Sam and Emily's and that I could cook the chicken alfredo another day, so I stood from the couch and crossed the thresh hole to the dining room and pulled out a chair that was next the one Paul was leaning on.
"Now why in the world would I have pulled out this chair?" Paul questioned, raising an eyebrow which made me smile dumbly.
"I have no clue." I said standing up and taking a few steps toward where he was leaning on the chair, playing a game that was completely obvious to the people around us.
"It was for you." He retorted rolling his eyes giving a huff.
"Thank you Paul," I said sitting down in the chair he had pulled out and was now leaning on, "I never knew you'd become such a gentleman." As soon as the word gentleman left my lips Jared started to choke on the lemonade he'd been in mid-swallow with.
"Paul a gentlemen, try not so gentle." Quil barked out while laughing so hard tears filled his eyes, and even Sam and Jake cracked smiles and gave a chuckle or two. While Colin and Brady busted out laughing not seconds later.
"Shut-up." Paul uttered taking the seat to my right.
"Lin you better hurry up getting your food, the boys look like they are going to attack the table." Emily giggled the last three words out because Sam started to nuzzle her neck and give her kisses. I heeded Emily's advice and piled my plate with mashed potatoes, ham, green beans, and corn.
From the corner of my eye I caught Paul multiple times in mid stare at me and the crazy thing was I didn't mind at all. When we were younger I always used to get annoyed when I was five, I made comments when I was eight, and when me and him started getting friendlier I'd start tickling and tackling games that ended up with a make out around the time I turned thirteen.
Flashback (Middle of a wrestling match in Lin's back yard)
"That's not fair Lin no kicks." Paul yelled before I could lift my foot to land a kick to his stomach.
"So we are wrestling aren't we?" He nodded to my question, "Okay then kicks are aloud and so are these." I said spinning so my back was facing his front and went for an elbow to the abdomen but he caught it. "Hey no fair you and either block, counter hit, but not catch and hold!" I yelled as he spun me around to face him.
"Okay then I'll do a trip." He said.
"What, no?!"I said not agreeing to the idea of getting the breath knocked out of me in this match.
But instead of listening to my protest he locked the top part of his foot where his shoe laces were behind my left foot and tripped me. I landed on the bottom of him which knocked my breath from my lungs, and I landed with a thud and a groan.
"Not fair."I huffed out.
"Oh, and what's not fair about this." He said still full of breath and smirking.
"A lot of things." I said returning the smirk.
"Huh like what." He said still smirking and leaning in.
"Like you're too close." I whispered lifting my head a little.
"Yeah?" He said whispering leaning in more.
"Yeah." I said back, leaning in just enough for our noses to touch.
He looked at my lips and leaned in more, if that was possible, letting our lips graze just a little. Then I had to make the next step, as he pulled back a little I looked at him and smirked and this time I leaned in to him and kissed him except this was a little more than a simple graze.
End of Flashback
After everyone ate they started to turn to relax mode and put a movie on in the living room while I wanted to take a breather and go outside. I'd brought my jacket but the cold November wind still nipped at my nose and made me cold. I heard the screen door close behind me while I sat on one of the porch steps.
"You know you can freeze out here right?" Paul said sitting down next to me.
"Yeah I haven't forgotten the time we camped out when we were ten with Harry Clearwater and Charlie Swan with Sam." I chuckled.
"Yeah that wasn't funny." He chuckled.
"You have to admit it was pretty funny." I said nudging him with my elbow.
"Hey that water was freezing and I had no idea where to go and I almost got frostbite." He retorted.
"Yeah and look at you now outside in this Washington weather wearing nothing but a T-shirt, besides were in the world did you get a shirt?" I asked remembering he didn't have one when we'd meet in the middle of the road.
"I keep a spare of clothes here; it's like my second home. Plus you've missed quite a lot." He said running his hand over his head of hair then down to his neck.
"Like what, I couldn't pick anyone better to fill me in." I sighed then shortly after shivered.
"Cold?" He asked scooting closer.
"Yeah how'd you guess?" I asked sarcastically.
"Come here." He said patting his lap and holding his arms wide open.
"Thanks." I sighed while being engulfed with the familiar heat from his body.
"So you really want to know what's happened since you moved?"
"Yep."
"Okay here it goes." He sighed placing his chin on top of my head and began to fill me in on what I'd missed in the last eight years.
I found out Harry had died from a heart attack which sent me into a state of shock, but I also found out Charlie was Sheriff of Forks and had become Sheriff not to long after I'd moved and he'd also taken Harry's death hard. Leah and Seth are living with Sue so that she won't feel so alone all of the time since Harry is gone, and Seth has also grown quite a lot. I also found out the reason Emily had the scars she had was because of a bear mauling her one a hiking trip. Soon after he'd explained, filled me in, told me some stories, I was ready to go to sleep, and I was already nodding off in Paul's arms.
"Hey Paul maybe you should take her home." I heard a voice comment and when I opened my eyes it was Jake and he was crouching down to Paul's level.
"It's up to her." He said looking down at me.
"Home sounds nice." I whispered half asleep.
"Home it is then." Paul announced standing up holding me bridal style.
"God it's cold." I yelped when the cold air hit my face letting some heat escape.
"Don't worry the car is right ahead." He reassured me.
When we got to the car he miraculously opened the car door sliding me into the passage side slipping my seatbelt on. By the time the car was defrosted and started with the heater on I was passed out warm and comfortable in the passenger seat.
Hoped this one was liked by all my readers. Oh and I kind of made a mistake and put that Quil was the one who hadn't imprinted yet but I meant to put Embry hadn't imprinted in the lst chapter I think, and I fixed those multiple mistakes just to let you know I think I got most of them but if I didn't please tell me. Sorry guys schools back in and updates are going to be coming in twice a week or at the least once a week, any complaints just message me.
