Chapter Seven
Paul
I awoke in the morning stretching and felt a body next to me. Hope had fallen asleep watching me sleep she was so beautiful sleep eased the lines of her face. She breathed in and out and muttered something in her slumber. I listened, "I love you Paul." She said and my heart gave a flutter. I moved sideways and pulled her close to me. My warrior woman, my Hope. She sighed in her sleep and buried her face into my chest. I watched her sleep until she awoke blushing.
"I am sorry I fell asleep." She said and I smiled at her.
"Its alright love." I replied and she grinned at me.
"Are you hungry? I could get some food." She said.
"You can cook? Kim tried once and it was horrible she burnt water." My angel laughed. "Leah is equally hopeless."
"Who is Kim?" She asked.
"Jared's imprint." I replied and she nodded she sighed and got up.
"Do you have food here? I could run to the store, that way you don't have to worry about the Parana attack." She said and I laughed. I nodded I suppose because she got up and came out of the bathroom fully changed and her hair wet. "I will be right back." She said and started to run she was so fast and her hair bounced behind her she seemed as though running was what she was meant to do I could tell she was happy. Only ten minutes later she came back with two giant bags of flour and other inheritance as well as a giant bag of groceries. She made bread as I became fully awake the bread smelled great. She put it to cool on a rack. "No eating it now." She said as I reached for it. "Let me make eggs at least. She made a great mound of eggs with two dozen eggs and put cheese steamed broccoli and mushrooms into it. She then flipped the monster again and again and put it on a plate. She smiled at my gaze watching her steadily. "I am making it as fast as I can." She laughed a musical sound that made my heart feel light.
"I will wait, but it smells so good." You smell so good I almost added her hair was wet from the rain and frizzing. Making her head look like a wonderful fire, my heart was warmed by the blaze.
"You naughty boy." She said and grinned at me she sliced two loaves and put them on the plates with jam. She then came and sat next to me handing me a plate completely filled with food. I gulped down my first four bites and she laughed. "Its not a race not now chew enjoy it instead." I smiled at her and did as she said and at once I could taste it was so good.
"This is great!" I told her and she blushed and I tried the bread. Nothing beats fresh homemade bread even Emily's muffins could't compare to this. I continued to eat the bread and finished off the two loafs. I picked up the plates and washed the dishes. She came up beside me and scoping up the clean foam threw it in my face. I laughed and threw it back at her soon we were both covered in bubbles my floor sopping wet. It was carpet anyway and not very clean it would do it good to have some water on it. She laughed and I did too. "We should go to Sam's, he get angry if we are late." She grinned and nodded and I grabbed her hand. Together we ran to Sam's house running with her felt great like running on clouds. She laughed my Angel.
Sam was waiting for us at our door. He grinned and said. "You finally thought to join us?" We both blushed.
"We ate at my house, sorry I didn't call." I told him.
"You can cook?" Sam said in surprise and I nodded.
"I am best at making breakfast but I can make great fish and chips."
"Fish and chips?"
"Breaded fish with french fries." My angel replied smiling.
"Sound interesting." She could detect the doubt in my voice.
"They are really good." She said and I smiled.
"We were just sitting down to breakfast come in and join us, the second patrol should be back soon." Sam said. "I am beginning to think that the vampires have passed on." He grinned at Paul. "I am going to send you out with Seth and Hope once Jarad and Embry get back. Jarad is missing Kim and so I am going to let him have the day to spend with her. Can you manage Seth? He is biting at the leash to get out."
"Of course I can." I replied smiling. We went inside and everyone smiled at us.
"Finally see fit to grace us with your presents." Jarad told us. We both laughed and sat at stools as what my love called Parana attack happened. Hope smiled at everyone she belonged here with me at her side. Forever.
