Chapter 10
Paul's POV
I had been sitting in my truck for more than ten minutes. I was so nervous I couldn't figure out how to work my legs.
It wasn't until Alana opened her front door and looked directly at me did I get feeling back into my legs and start moving towards the house.
"How long were you waiting in the car for?" She asked as I walked inside her extremely tidy house.
"Not lone" I lied. She smiled and sat down on her sofa. "Nice house"
"Small, but cosy" She said. "So where are we going tonight?"
"Um, I was sort of thinking that we could go back to my place and I would try and cook you a nice dinner?" I said. She nodded and smiled at me as I sat down next to her.
"You know how to cook?" She asked.
"Nope" I said. She laughed and grabbed her coat from her bedroom before coming downstairs and announcing that she was ready to leave.
While she was up there I had a sneak peak at her photo's that were sitting on the tables and hanging on the walls.
There was a picture of what I assume were her parents and little brother. There were loads of pictures of a man and her.
"Whose he?" I asked. I felt a big wave of jealously go through my body.
"That would be my ex-boyfriend" She said simply as though it didn't affect anyone.
"Um, I'm sorry" I said. "Are you not single?"
"Of course I am?" She said in a confused voice.
"Then why do you have picture of him in your house?" I growled. She gulped and picked up the picture that was sitting on the coffee table.
"He died three years ago" She said. "Car Crash" I immediately felt guilty for what I had said and started apologising a lot.
"It's ok" She laughed. "He would want me to move on"
"If you don't feel comfortable going out tonight then we don't have too" I said. She looked up at me and shook her head.
"No, I will probably never get to see you cook again" She laughed. I smiled and nodded before escorting her to my truck.
"20 questions time" She said. I looked up from our pizza and looked at her.
Let's just say that me cooking dinner didn't quite work out that well. She had offered to help so many times, but I just had to keep saying no. And look where that got us.
"Ok, you start" I said.
"Sure, um, how old are you?" She asked me. I swallowed my pizza and wiped my hands on the napkin that sat next to me.
"24" I said. She smiled and nodded. "What about you?"
"22" She said.
"How long have you been living on the reservation for?" I asked.
"A year and a half now" She said.
"Really, what made you move here?" I asked.
"Ah, ah, that was two questions" She said. "It's my turn. This is kind of personal so don't get mad"
"Ok" I said.
"Why is Holly staying with you and not your mother?" She asked. I smiled and shrugged.
"Our mum died a while ago and Holly's been staying with our dad, so I decided to bring her back to her home town for a while" I said. She nodded and smiled.
"Back to my questions" I said. "What made you move to La Push?"
"I wanted to get away from the city" She said. "And my family, so I found some work and jumped on a plane and arrived in rainy La Push"
"Do you not like your parents?" I asked. She shrugged and bit into her pizza again.
"Their pushy, they want me to become a doctor or a lawyer" She said sadly. "All I ever wanted to do was teach"
"Do you miss them?" I asked.
"Sometimes" She said. "I keep wondering what it would have been like if I was still there now"
"If you were still there now then you would have never met me" I said. By this time we were leaning in over the table where our faces were close to each other.
Not even a second later, I leant in for our first kiss.
