[A/N Hey guys! So heres another chapter. I've been busy and i'm working on my last bit of finals right now so hopefully have another one for you soon! Please review! I love reading what you guys have to say! :D Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!]

I paced. I had cleaned my whole entire house from top to bottom. I had been on my daily run as well as I had checked my emails. I had emptied the garbage and cleaned the extra clothes from my closet, setting them aside for charity. Basically, I had done everything.

I was debating getting in my car and driving, just leaving and being alone and finding somewhere nice to be. I ran upstairs to grab my camera, a jacket and my keys.

I walked back into the kitchen to find I had missed a call. I groaned. Of course, the one time my phone wasn't attached at my hip.

I dialed the voicemail and listened. "Hey baby, just calling to see what you're doing. I'm at home, I had to reassure my mom that I was alive, and I'm just so exhausted. I'm going to crash here. See you later? Okay, love you."

Paul's voice was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. It rang in my ears. I knew he needed his sleep so photo adventure it was.

I picked up my keys and grabbed a bottle of water.

I found myself driving down an empty road, eventually it turned into a land bridge over the most beautiful lake I had ever laid eyes on. I pulled over at a rest stop and grabbed my camera. I laid on the grass and took in the scenery up until it started to rain.

Typical.

After it had started to storm, I figured it was time to give it up. I pulled into Paul's house a while later. I parked my car, and almost skipped to the door. It had been a few days since I had properly visited with him; our schedules just were not in synch anymore. I heard male voices as I approached the door. I knocked slowly, and within seconds the door was opened.

"Hey Georgia." Embry nodded as he invited me in.

"Hi there." I smiled sweetly. I noticed Jared and Jacob were busy in the sitting room playing video games; Embry went and joined them after he shut the door after me. "Where's Paul?" I asked, concern lacing my voice.

"Don't worry your precious is fine, he just had to run out and pick up the pizzas. God dammit Jared!" Jacob threw his controller at his opponent as Jared and Embry laughed.

"I called winner!" Embry yelled as he pushed his way between the other boys, fighting for the controller.

I watched them interact and got myself a glass of ice tea out of the fridge.

The door opened and Paul walked in with three large pizzas on his arm.

"Here you go you mongrels."

He set them down and laid eyes on me. "Baby."

Within seconds he was at my side. He kissed me softly and held me. "I've missed you terribly."

I nodded. "I've missed you too."

He pulled away from me and kissed me on the head. "Hungry?" He turned around and shot angrily at the boys, who had half devoured the first box already. "Hey! You jerks! Ladies first!"

"Sorry Georgia…" Embry said guiltily while the other two just scowled.

Paul nodded towards the pizza as he grabbed me a plate. "Pepperoni?"

I nodded. "Yes please."

He handed me the plate and then dished himself up some. We sat at the table together as the boys ate and played their games. I stared at Paul. I could tell he was tired, I could tell he was drained. I could see the weight of everything on his shoulders with every blink of his eye, with every throat-clearing cough.

I knew there was relatively nothing I could say, nothing that could really cheer him up, make him feel better but it broke my heart that I couldn't.

"Hey…" I whispered. Paul looked at me, a small smile on his face. I admired his face. He had been growing a small amount of stubble; I ran my hand along his jaw line and smiled shyly.

"I love you" I said leaning in and kissing him on the cheek softly.

He wrapped his hand around mine and looked at me. "I love you too."

I leaned towards him and kissed him softly on the lips. "Kick these guys out?" I whispered grinning.

Paul laughed heartily and I knew that his laugh was the second most beautiful thing I have ever heard. The way it rang in my ears, the way it stirred everything inside of me was too perfect for words.

He got up and began ushering the guys out. "Okay listen up you dirty animals, it's time for some alone time with my girlfriend. So shut that off and clear out."

I giggled as he turned around and winked at me.

After many groans, and wink winks nudge nudge's Paul and I had the house to ourselves.

"What should we do?" He asked grabbing me.

I giggled placing my finger to his lips. "Shush… follow me."

I took his hand and lead him to his room. I sat him down on his bed, and shut the door after us.

I grinned. "I had some ideas…" I kissed him slowly, his hands grabbing towards me.

I climbed into his lap, his lips never leaving mine. The kissing got fierce, and suddenly we were pulling at each other's clothes. The breathing quickened and I could feel so many emotions building up inside of me.

"Are you sure?" Paul asked, pulling away from me.

I nodded. "Mhmm."

"Really cause Georgia, it doesn't matter honest…"

I raised an eyebrow at him, grinning mischievously. "So you don't want to then…?"

"Oh believe me, I want to."

"Then stop being your own cock block!" I giggled and grabbed him, pulling him into more kisses. With one solid movement, his shirt was off. I admired his chest and ran my hands along it. There was something so perfect about the way his muscles bulged. I pulled off my shirt, and within seconds my bra.

Paul admired every part of my body, I kissed him as he ran his hands up and down, frantically grabbing at me and pulling me closer to him.

"You're beautiful Georgia, so fucking beautiful." His voice was muffled as he kissed my neck, and my collarbone.

I giggled.

"That giggle!" Paul pulled himself away for a split second and grinned at me. He turned us around and was on top of me.

I laughed. "Shh…" I laid kisses on his lips as I pulled away at his pants. He kicked them off and fiddled with mine. I heard the thunder rumble and the rain lash at the roof of the house. It magnified around us in the silence.

"Can I?"

I nodded, and within a second he had lifted me and slid my jeans off. He ran his hand along my underwear.

"These?" He asked staring at me with mischief in his eyes.

I nodded; this time he slowly pulled them off.

I fiddled nervously as he looked me over. I felt like every flaw of my body was magnified, that he would some how change his mind.

"My god, you're the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on."

I kissed him hard. "Take your boxers off."

He laughed, and pulled them off.

Here we were, kissing to the lightning. Every beam of light from the bolts was illuminating this beautiful moment. Paul placed kisses all over my body; he ran his hands up and down softly. I was the complete opposite, grabbing at him frantically.

"Are you ready?" He asked, pulling away from me.

I nodded. "Yes, please."

I woke up with Paul's arms around me. I snuggled into him and realized it was morning. I breathed in his cologne and tried to memorize it. I heard rummaging in the kitchen and instantly felt guilty. At my house I didn't have to worry, I had a father and stepmother who were permanently missing in action, I never thought of how Paul's mom would react.

I turned around and snuggled into Paul's chest. He stirred and looked at me sleepily.

"Good morning platypus." He wrapped his arms around me and sighed. "This is nice."

I giggled softly. "Yes, but your mom is still home."

I felt his arms stiffen, and realized he didn't think of that either. "Oh…"

I nodded. "Mhm… think this will be a problem?"

He laughed. "Not if she doesn't know." He twisted around me to check his clock. "She should be leaving for work any minute now."

"My car is in your driveway."

"Right…"

"Should we just lie here anyway?" I asked smirking.

"Yes, of course…" He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me towards him.

There was a knock at the door and we both looked at each other wide eyed and shocked.

"Are you guys decent?"

"Oh jesus mom, yeah we are. Come in!"

I pulled away from Paul instinctively and felt like a puppy with it's tale between it's legs.

"Oh good morning. Listen I know you're both adults, but there are some ground rules we need to talk—"

"Mom? Seriously?" Paul groaned.

"Yes, I'm serious! Georgia, I'm sure your parents don't know you're here, and in order for you to be here they have to know the truth, even if I have to tell them. Lord help me I will not be responsible for the two of you screwing things up in your lives."

I chuckled. "Don't worry, we were safe, and my parents are nowhere to be found."

"Still. You two are clearly old enough, but please remember that it's okay to slow down. And Paul, if you pressured her, I will personally kick your—"

I sat up. "It was my idea actually…" I giggled slightly and blushed as she shot me a simple smile.

"Well, please just remember to be safe! Lord, I have to run, I'll be late tonight. Georgia please make sure this boy eats his veggies and gets a good meal. Bye you two!" And with that she shut the door.

Paul groaned and rolled his eyes. I smirked. "Shush, just be comforted that she loves you."

He pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around me. "Yeah, Yeah." He rolled us over and was grinning down at me.

"What?" I asked smirking.

"Have I told you you're beautiful yet this morning?"

"No, but we both know I'm the beauty of the relationship." I fawned at myself and batted my eyelashes dramatically.

"Yeah? Just for that you're not allowed to leave. "

Paul grabbed my arms and nuzzled into my neck, he ran his fingers along my stomach and slowly tickled me. I giggled and struggled slightly against him. He nibbled at my ear playfully and I ran my fingers through his hair and down his back. Eventually he gave up his tickling and settled with laying kisses all over my neck.

We let ourselves drift in and out of sleep and cuddle mode for an hour more.

"Ouch, fuck."

I woke to the smell of food being cooked in the kitchen, and curses being muttered. I chuckled and pulled on a sweater and rummaged through Paul's drawers searching for his star trek boxers. I slipped them on and walked towards the kitchen, stretching and yawning.

"Baby…?" I asked quietly.

Paul looked up from his post behind the stove. He frowned. "Did I wake you?"

I shook my head and leaned up against the door way, admiring him. He hadn't bothered to put a shirt on and was just in his sleep pants. I grinned. "What are you making?"

"French toast. You like?" He flipped a piece off the frying pan onto a plate, poured some syrup over top and handed me it.

I grabbed a fork and sat at the table, it was still dark out. "My god, what time is it?"

"Around seven? It's been storming all night." Paul said as he sat beside me and placed a cup of juice in front of me.

"Thank you." I dug into my food and watched as he devoured his as well.

"I wanted to sleep more but I just got so damn hungry." He sighed sitting back in the chair, patting his belly. He looked at me lazily.

I ate the last bite and drank the last sip before looking at him. "Well I plan on sleeping… actually sleeping!" I grinned at the look he had just shot me. "For at least a couple more hours… join me?"

He nodded and yawned. "Of course."

"Oh and baby…?"

"Mmm?"

"That was wonderful." I leaned in and kissed him before grabbing the plates. I was rinsing them off when Paul's arms wrapped around me.

"Come on, these can wait." He grabbed my hand and lead me back to the bed where we spent the next few hours catching up on sleep and cuddles, once again.

"Come on, I think we could convince old man Greene to sell us beer… and we can invite hot chicks!"

"Why do I care about hot chicks?"

"Okay whatever all I'm saying is I have to find my imprint because otherwise my head is all fuzzy from Bella."

Paul groaned in his sleep as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. His breathing becoming synchronized once again against my cheek as he settled into sleep some more. I didn't want to wake him so I had been listening to Jake and Jared talk about some party they wanted to throw.

"Yeah I guess, but you know Sam's going to have a hay day when he finds out on our rest days we're getting drunk and you're trying to seduce unsuspected woman."

"Hey, I never said I was going to seduce them, but if that happens okay…"

A different voice, Embry, let out a hearty laugh. "Okay Jake, whatever you say."

I snorted and immediately regretted it as Paul began to stir. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Hmm?"

"Just listening to the guys be guys…" I whispered.

Paul rolled his eyes and kissed me on the cheek. "Being respectable to women I hope."

I shook my head. "Jake wants to get them drunk and I guess himself drunk and then convince himself that she is his imprint and well…"

Paul and I broke out into fits of laughter. He pulled me towards him and kissed me hard before there was a knock at the door.

"What?" He groaned.

"Are you love birds awake then?" Jared asked.

"Yepp!" I called towards the door as it swung open.

"Okay was not expecting this!" I gasped as I remembered our clothes strewn all over the floor.

In walked the three boys who began to bounce on the bed. I shrieked and hid my head, mentally searching for clothes to cover myself up.

"Guys! Get! Out!" Paul spat sitting up and swatting at each one of them.

He stood up and pushed each of them off the bed and followed them out the bedroom door. I heard their laughter and couldn't help but laughing myself.

"Sorry about that…" Paul said closing the door behind him.

I shook my head laughing. "It's alright… pass me my clothes?"

Paul laughed and passed me my jeans.
