Chapter 9
"I don't know why you are so nervous. It'll only be the guys, their girls and some elders." Lexi said as she watched Darcy fiddle with her sleeves. The girl was way too nervous.
"What am I going to do there? And why did Paul invite me anyways? Like you said it's going to be the guys, their girls and the elders, why invite me?" Darcy asked. She was seriously contemplating faking a headache or something.
"I guess he's trying to reconnect or maybe redeem himself. He feels really bad about what had happened. He keeps asking me if you'll ever forgive him. He really wants to make amends."
Darcy frowned." Why? It's not like his life stopped or that I mattered that much."
Lexi thought about how best to answer her without giving away too much but she didn't get the chance. She heard Embry's truck just as her phone beeped and she knew he was there to pick her up.
Darcy watched as Lexi stood up and all but ran to the window to see Embry drive up and waved enthusiastically. She couldn't figure out how they spent any time away from each other. It seemed they were incomplete without the each other. Darcy vaguely wondered if it was something that would last or was it something that happens when you are new in a relationship and everything is rosy.
"Lola!" Lexi called out and Darcy sighed as she got up and away from her vanity to check out what Lexi wanted.
She walked lost in thought when she sensed more than one person in the living room.
Must be Embry, she thought. But she saw Paul was standing there as well. Darcy took him in and found her eyes glued to his muscles. His t-shirt was form fitting and it left little to her imagination. She gulped as her eyes travelled up, her eyes lingering on his neck, she loved kissing him there and hearing him moan. The same moans that could get her wet in no time. Her eyes roamed over his ear lobes and she had the strongest urge to nibble on them. But then her eyes met his and she saw something in them that made her heart race.
Paul stared at Darcy. She was so beautiful. Her pink tongue licking her plump lips as she eyed him up. He felt heat soar in his veins as he felt the air get thick with her want just as her eyes roamed over his muscles and neck. He could almost hear her thoughts. He knew what she would be thinking. He wanted desperately to take her in his arms and kiss her senseless.
"Err...guys? Ready to go?" Embry asked uncomfortable. He could easily guess what was happening but he wanted them to be on time for the bonfire. It was Lexi's first time there. She had met the pack but it would be nice to officially introduce her to everyone.
"Lola..." Lexi giggled as she watched her friend carefully. It was too obvious Lola was ogling Paul.
"Yeah?" Darcy said dazed. She felt as if someone was calling her name but she couldn't make out who.
"Let's go!" Lexi said as she moved to her friend's side and grabbed her hand to make her come back to them.
Darcy's eyes widened for a second as she saw Embry and Lexi. Damn! Was she really that lost in her thoughts that she forgot they were in the same room?
She stole a quick glance at Paul to make sure he wasn't looking at her as if she was nuts but she saw him looking straight at her and he seemed a little out of it himself. She smiled and silently thanked her stars. At least she wasn't alone.
Lexi led her out while Embry grinned wildly at Paul before the two of them came out as well, Embry making sure to lock up behind them.
"Ok! See you guys at the beach!" Lexi said excitedly as she left Darcy and danced over to Em's truck.
Darcy looked around and saw that there was another truck and obviously it belonged to Paul who was now standing beside it. Lexi and Em left and Darcy was left with her racing heart, naughty thoughts and a very handsome Paul.
Gosh! How was she to get herself in control when they would be in such a confined space?
She sat when Paul opened the door for her. He smiled softly at her and she found herself blushing. Her thoughts and her hormones raging with want.
Paul whistled to himself as he went around to sit behind the wheel. Maybe this night would be the turning point for their relationship. He was suddenly very glad he had asked her to come and she had agreed.
Paul turned on some music and watched as Darcy relaxed a little. Some things never changed. Music had that effect on her before as well. Paul couldn't keep the smile from his face as they sat in comfortable silence. Paul driving extra slow to prolong their journey. It felt so good to just share this moment with her. No words, no distractions, just them.
As they reached the beach, Darcy could see that the bonfire was already underway. People were gathered around and seemed to be having a good time.
Darcy gulped.
"Don't worry. They are all really nice and welcoming. Of course, Lexi is here already. And you have me as well." Paul added the last part softly as he held the door open for her.
Darcy looked at him to find even the smallest shred of lie, conceit but couldn't see any. All she saw was a slight hesitation and something more. But he seemed genuine and Darcy nodded and got out.
It was just a bonfire. Meeting some people. She had never really been afraid of people. This would be easy.
Or would it?

AN: Hey! Long time! Sorry for making you wait. Will try and be regular as I was before. How have you guys been? Did something interesting happen in your life? I reconnected with high school friends! It feels great!
What do you think is going to happen at the bonfire? How do you think Paul and Darcy should proceed in their relationship?
Let me know. Thanks!
