NEXT CHAPTER! :)
A light tap on my bedroom door woke me from my troubled sleep.
Knowing a vampire who really hates you is probably within miles of you can really mess up someone's brain.
I rolled over to look at the door and away from the bright sun shine which was bursting through my closed curtains.
The door opened slowly and Paul peered in. He laughed softly when he saw me frowning back at him.
"What are you doing here?" I murmured, still half asleep.
Paul strolled into the room and fell onto the end of my bed.
"The guys took Kodi out on patrol which means you get to spend the day with me again" he grinned up at me arrogantly.
I rolled my eyes and climbed out of bed, suddenly thankful it had been cold last night and I had chosen to wear a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a baggy jumper to bed instead of my shorts and t-shirt.
I grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt out of my wardrobe and then got changed in the bathroom as Paul didn't seem interested in moving.
"What are we doing today?" Paul yelled through the bathroom door.
"I am going to a job interview" I said as I opened the door, fully dressed and my hair back in place.
Paul frowned slightly.
"Where?" he asked curiously.
"The library" I mumbled.
A smirk stretched across his face but he quickly wiped it off.
"Well let's go get you a job then" Paul chuckled, grabbing my hand and pulling me down stairs and then outside.
"Can I drive?" he asked, staring at my car.
I used some of the money mum had left me to buy a car when I moved back to La Push. I ended up buying the first car I saw. It was a blue Audi TT with black leather interior and not a mark out of place. I fell in love with the car instantly.
"You want to drive my car?" I raised my eyebrows up at him.
He nodded and smiled at me persuasively.
"You better not scratch it" I warned him.
Paul grinned widely down at me and caught the keys as I threw them at him.
He slid into the driver's seat and began playing with all the settings as I fell into the passenger seat. He didn't get to drive for long as the library was only a short drive away.
I slid out the car and waited for Paul to do the same. Instead he leant over the chair and looked up at me through the open window.
"Can I take it for a drive?" Paul asked.
"I will kill you if you mark it" I told him.
He nodded and laughed softly.
"Good luck. Not that you need it" he shouted to me before flying back down the road.
I winced slightly as I saw the back of the car swerving from side to side and then screeched around the corner and out of view.
I breathed in deeply and then pushed through the library doors. It was surprisingly large and there were line of bookcases in every view. It would take forever to find a book in here.
I walked over to the desk were a small, middle aged lady with dark brown skin, just like every other Quileute, shoulder length black hair and dark brown eyes which seemed strangely familiar.
She looked up from a pile of papers and smiled softly at me.
"Hello dear can I help you?" she asked softly.
"I am Lily Brown. I came for a job interview" I smiled back at her, hoping to make a good impression.
A large grin appeared on her face as soon as I mentioned my name. Maybe my mum had known her before we moved away.
"I have heard a lot of good things about you Lily. I am Sarah" Sarah held her small hand out towards me.
I shook it quickly as my cheeks began to blush.
"You have heard of me?" I asked nervously.
Sarah nodded and laughed softly.
"You know my son" she replied simply.
"So have you had any experience working in a library before?" Sarah asked curiously.
I shook my head and bit my lip nervously.
"What was your last job?"
"I worked in a five star restaurant in London for a few years before I moved back to La Push" I replied quickly.
Sarah nodded, grinning encouragly.
"Did you go onto further education after finishing high school?"
"I went to college and then to Cambridge university"
"Oh what did you study?" Sarah asked.
She seemed generally interested so I took that as a good thing.
"History"
"So you learnt about the legends?"
"A little too well" I chuckled quietly.
"Well…" Sarah sighed and grinned over at me.
"I think you would be perfect for this job. A lot of people come in here looking for books on the Quileute legends and your extra knowledge would be greatly received" she said excitably.
I sighed loudly in relief and pushed my fringe out of my face.
"Thank you so much" I laughed softly.
"When do you want me to start?" I asked curiously.
"Well if you aren't busy, you could start now?" Sarah smiled over at me doubtfully.
"Sure" I said eager to make a good impression.
"Could I go and tell my friend first? He is probably waiting for me outside?" I asked.
Sarah nodded and gestured to the door with her hands.
"Take all the time you need"
"Thank you" I shouted back to her and then ran out the doors, crashing into a large chest.
Paul grabbed hold of my waist, stopping me from falling over backwards and grinned down at me.
"So…" he said, waiting for my answer.
"I got the job" I screamed happily.
Paul chuckled and pulled me into a hug. He swung me round in a circle and then placed me back on the floor.
"So when do you have to start?" Paul asked curiously.
"Now" I muttered quietly.
Paul's face fell slightly.
"You could go back to my house and sleep again" I suggested.
Paul shook his head quickly.
"No I will come in and find a book or something" he chuckled, holding open the door for me.
"Can you read?" I asked, smirking up at Paul.
He rolled his eyes and messed up my hair with his hand.
"Fine then, I will sit there and watch you" he sighed, nudging my arm playfully as I walked back into the library.
"Don't get me in trouble" I muttered quietly.
Paul laughed softly.
"Don't worry, I know the manager" he smirked down at me.
Sarah looked up from her desk and beamed over at me and Paul. Suddenly I realised why her eyes were so familiar. It was because they were nearly identical to Paul's.
"Hey mum" Paul grinned over at Sarah.
"Hey love" Sarah laughed softly as I stared between the two of them.
"Lily why don't you start by putting that box on books on one of the empty shelves" Sarah suggested, pointing to a large cardboard box beside the desk.
Before I could bend down to lift up the box, it had disappeared. When I straightened up, I saw Paul strolling through the library, carrying to the box easily.
Sarah laughed softly at the confused look on my face.
"If he starts to annoy you, send him back here. I am sure I could find him something else to do" she grinned over at me.
"Thank you" I laughed softly and rushed after Paul.
Paul dropped the box by an empty shelf. It landed with a loud thump that echoed around the whole library.
Paul laughed softly as I glared over at him.
"So your mum seemed willing to employ me as soon as she heard my name" I murmured, picking up the first of many books from the box.
Suddenly Paul looked nervous as he ran his fingers through his short hair.
"You didn't have anything to do with me getting the job did you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows up at him.
"No" Paul answered too quickly, making me laugh quietly.
"I may have mentioned you to my mum but I didn't know that you were going to get a job here until this morning. How could I have spoken to her? I was with you the whole time" he smirked down at me.
"Why didn't you tell me your mum was the manager?"
Paul shrugged his shoulders and sank deeper into the chair, resting his feet on the table.
"I didn't think you needed to know" he muttered.
"So are you just going to sit there all day?" I chuckled, hitting his legs off the table with a thick hard back book.
Paul rolled his eyes.
"Well yes actually, until you finish working and then I will leave" he sniggered as my cheeks began to blush.
"Don't blame me when you get bored then" I warned him.
"Well I can blame you actually as you are the reason I am here" Paul grinned arrogantly down at me.
"Fine to stop you getting bored and poor me getting the blame, lets play a game" I suggested.
Paul laughed softly but nodded anyway. "Ok, let's play twenty questions"
"I will go first" I interrupted him quickly before he could ask me the first question. "What is your favourite colour?"
"Urm well the colour of your eyes" Paul mumbled quietly. "A light hazel brown"
I turned away from him so he couldn't see the large grin on my face. I didn't need to increase that already massive ego of his.
"So what is your favourite colour?" Paul asked, breaking the slightly awkward silence he had made.
"Green" I answered quietly. "So unless your eyes are green and I just haven't noticed yet, then I am sorry but your eye colour is not my favourite" I smirked up at him.
Paul moaned dramatically and then pretended to be deeply hurt by my answer. I rolled my eyes and returned to putting the books onto the shelf.
After spending three hours of asking each other questions I learnt: Paul's birthday is on the fifth of March, he has a little sister called Rosie, he phrased into a wolf after Jared, his favourite foods are hotdogs or Emily's muffins, just like me he hasn't seen his dad for years and his favourite animal ironically is a wolf.
PLEASE REVIEW GUYS. :D XXX
