Chapter 10
Emily
The amount of work the men were doing for the new house I wanted was insane. I don't even think the word house described what I wanted. The blueprints were one that would be used for a mansion. The rooms would be huge making room for everyone in the house as well a huge kitchen, dining room that would hold everyone with a handmade table. The kitchen in the blue prints was unbelievable. Id have enough counter space to bake for an army. Well my army.
The boys were putting so much effort into this for me they knew what it meant for us. For me it meant I could have my family close, be able to be the mama bear, well really the mama wolf. It also meant that I could have my best friend living with me. Id be able to set up a medical area and be able to check on her constantly. This house would also allow our families to expand. No longer would anyone have to worry about money to put towards a new house, instead they will pay a small rent to help keep up with the food and repairs to the house.
I looked down at the mess in front of me. I was too busy thinking about the house that I kept rolling out the dough for the cookies and it pushed flour onto the flour. I sighed, I'll clean it up after I finish baking.
"Hey honey what are you up to?"
I turned around to see my man shirtless with sweat glistening off his skin. He looked tanner than normal from working out constantly in the sun trying to build my dream home.
"I am just baking some sugar cookies with wolf cut outs for you guys since you have been working so hard I thought you guys needed a little pick me up."
He smiled big; if it were not for the imprint, I probably would have won him over with my cooking he is such a foodie. I turned back towards my cookies and started placing them on the trays to start baking them.
"Hey have you seen Paul today? I am dying to know how the date went from him before I stop by to see Jenna today."
Sam came and wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back into him.
"Yeah, I actually did see him. Paul surprisingly showed up today to work on the house, I was shocked. But I guess she's changing him, and honestly it's what this pack has needed. He is finally growing up, his attitude and anger though I am not too sure about that changing."
"Could you send him here in an hour? I want to talk to him and then by then the cookies will be ready so he can bring them back to you guys."
Sam started whining and I gave him a look.
"Since when do the cookies take that long?"
I shook my head at him teasingly. "Since I have to feed an army that's why."
I swatted at his butt and he went off running out of the house and back to the work place.
I went and looked for my iPod in the living room to play some music so the house was not as quite
"Emily you in the kitchen?"
"Yes Paul where else would I be?"
I heard him laugh from the other room and his heavy steps started in my direction.
I ran up to him quickly. "Tell me everything right now!"
He sat down in a chair and crossed his arms and looked at me. "I do not even know where to begin. The night was perfect, we really learned about each other. Everything was so smooth, I was there until it was dark, I honestly do not even know what the visiting hours are but no one bothered us once. I even helped her get dressed into pajamas she said you normally help with that."
My eyes went wide, I had totally forgot that she was not in her pjs. He looked at me and laughed.
"Hey Emily, those underwear you put her in were definitely testing me."
"As much as I am glad it was a treat for you… it was really a treat for her because she deserves to feel good and pretty."
He nodded his head in agreement and looked out the kitchen window towards the house.
"It sucks too you know Emily. As much as my wolf loves her, I am still struggling. I want to do normal couple things but we can't."
"Paul, her life was never normal. She doesn't have a normal. This is your time to shine, to be creative, enough pouting and denying this. You have a big freedom here with what you can do with her. She doesn't expect much from you."
I looked down at his hand that was gripped my table making it bend a little.
"PAUL YOU GET YOUR HAND OFF MY TABLE NOW. JUST REMEMEBER BOY I COULD BAN YOU FROM SEEING HER."
He lifted his arms up in a surrendering manner.
"Sorry Em."
"Did you exchange numbers with her?"
I looked at his face and it dropped.
"Wait she has a phone? I did not know! Emily do you have her number please give it to me!"
"Obviously I have her number, I bought her the phone. But I am not giving you her number. Nope. You will have to earn that from her."
"Fine Em you want to play that game fine, what if I moved away with her and you never saw your best friend again huh? "
"Well Paul I'd love to see you try because I was going to talk to Carlisle about getting legal papers so Sam and I become her guardian."
His face began to get red and his body started to shake.
"Paul get out now."
"How dare you Emily, why are you trying to ruin my life."
He took a step closer and I grabbed a knife off the counter.
"Paul get back NOW."
Paul was pushed against the wall when Sam and Seth came running in.
"Paul you are banned from this house until further notice, you are banned from Jenna and you are banned from patrol, you are strictly doing the manual labor of the new house and that is a command."
I sunk to the floor. I touched my scar lightly I was not ready for another attack on me; I rest my head on my knees and passed out.
