So i did a little something a little different last chapter, i threw in Bella's point of view i night do a few more, if they work? PLEASE REVIEW!
Paul drove me home when the diner closed up, we were still chatting, he asked me some questions about my family which I was happy to answer, I told him everything, it felt good to get it off my chest, yet at the same time it re-opened wounds as I said them aloud. Paul was there, holding my hand though it all, he didn't leave, he never looked away, even driving back to his he took my hand in his, I sat in the middle of the trucks seat, close to him, I felt open and vulnerable, he held me together, he knew everything. He could use it all against me or leave me because of everything. I fell silent, I didn't want to say much more, I just closed my eyes, my throat feeling almost raw. I felt Pauls hand squeeze mine I looked up at him and ave him a small smile,
'Thank you, Thanks for telling me, for opening up' Paul said looking at me glancing at the road
'I liked telling you, I didn't feel judged' I said raising my eyebrows, looking down at our hands I moved them onto my lap, I ran the fingers of my free hand over his knuckles and over his skin, I slight soft growl came from Paul, my hand stilled for a second before continuing. He pulled up outside Sues, she had given me a hug before Paul took me home.
'Don't be afraid of the imprint' she whispered into my ear as Sue had held me close to her
'Here we are' he said I took my hand away and untangled our hands from each other. I took a deep breath and let it out through my pursed lips looking out of the window
'Thanks a lot it is really kind of you' I told him
'Any time' he said with a half smile he was so handsome, I understood how girls fell for him, every time I see him, I feel as though I am seeing the real Paul, sometime it was scary but it was him, I was facing him, he gave me a small smile
'What are you doing tomorrow?' I asked him
'Working, You?' he asked not seeming happy abut it
'Yeah covering a shift then nothing' I laughed
'Oh I hope that goes okay, I've got patrol' He said rolling his eyes
'Oh right, that is a busy day' I said thinking to myself
'Yeah' he said stretching in a slightly strained voice
'Lovely, I hope it all goes okay' I told him truthfully
'Thanks' he said with a slight chuckle
I leaned over and wrapped my arms around him, taking in his smell and warmth
'See you soon' I said leaning back from him, the inside of the truck windows had steamed up
'Yeah see you soon' he smiled and nodded I turned and opened the door I climbed out and looked at him before giving him a small wave. I closed the door wrapping my arms around me, feeling the cold, I jogged up to the front door turning once I gt there smiling and letting myself in, Sue was up watching some T.V, she looked at me when I got in.
'You okay love?' she asked me I just nodded to her
'Yes, Sue oh my gosh!' I blurted out rushing over to her kicking my shoes off and taking my coat off as the heating was on, I climbed on the sofa on my knees telling her everything, she cupped my face.
'I'm glad you're happy dear, you've got to make the most of life' she said pulling me into a tight hug.
I went and had a warm shower, I closed my eyes, I shut the water off and dried off, I pulled my P.J's on, when I walked out I saw Seth rummaging around in the fridge, I glanced Sue wasn't on the sofa any more, I crept up behind Seth as quietly as I could.
'Not going to work' he called out when I was close to him I let the breath out I was holding
'Not fair' I said
'You're in better spirits' Seth said turning around eating some leftovers, I took some, his face was priceless.
'Yeah well I've spent a lot more time with Paul' I said looking away slightly embarrassed
'That's good it means he wont be so shit to us all' he smirked I pushed into him
'Don't be so mean' I defended Paul
'No serious, I'm happy for you both, I'm glad that you've found someone though I hope Paul doesn't get all soppy, I can't deal with that, Sam off guard is bad enough then there is Jake' he started pulling faces thinking about it.
'Oh Seth' I cried and wrapped my arms around him
'You'll find someone' I smiled nuzzling against his face making him push me away
'I don't think so not if it makes me a puppet' he said joking
'Aren't you one already?' I asked quickly licking his face then running off laughing
'Oi come here' he cried wiping his face with the back of his hand I cried out laughing as he chased me around the room, the doorbell rang. I skidded over to the door and opened it, it was Paul, I was slightly out of breath I could hear Seth running round the corner, Paul just put his arm around my back and pulled me in close to him. My hands went out around his chest, his top was off, the softness of his skin took me by surprise, I was shocked, I turned my head Seth was after me the pudding in his hand, he couldn't stop he saw Paul.
'Shit' he tried to stop Paul raised his hand as Seth got closer skidding on the floor as he had his socks on, the pudding went flying up towards his Face as Paul pushed the pudding Seth was going to put over me landed in his own face, Seth cried out. I cried out with laughter, I felt Paul chest rise and fall as he laughed. Paul let me go I turned and looked at Seth, I pulled my phone out and took a picture of his face, I couldn't catch my breath I was laughing so hard, I bent over slightly, Seth just stood there, Pauls booming laugh filled the room. Tears blurred my vision and some pudding dripped off f his face, I looked up behind me at Paul, his hand was over his eyes. I leaned back onto him, his arm went around my shoulders, I pulled his hand round my front holding onto his arm, I couldn't stop laughing, Paul took a breath and tried to calm down.
'Thanks' Seth said flipping Paul off
'That is better than what I would have done, if that had ended up where you were going to put it' he said the joking aside, I just rubbed his arm softly.
'I'll leave you two to it' Seth said wiping it off his face.
'Buy pudding' I called after him earning a look and guesture, Pauls chest vibrated as he growled I turned and lookd at him, he was watching where Seth was going Paul had his arn wrapped around my shoulder still, I placed my hand on his chest, his muscles were insane.
'You on patrol already?' I asked him
'Yeah we needed someone extra, Jake was saying how the Cullens are getting figety, Sam will go and chat to them tomorrow, we need to know if something is happening' e aid looking down at me
'Oh gosh, that's scary' I said not realising my fingers were moving over his chest
'Well nothing will happen with the pack, noting has ever hurt us or anyone when we have been around' he boasted I smiled
'I wouldn't expect anything less' I said I realised I was in my P.J's suddenly feeling embarrassed, it was an old spider man top and some old trackie bottoms, I lifted my hand to my hair, it was still sticking everywhere from when I had tied it up from the shower I started to take it out, I felt my face I still had my cream on not all rubbed in, I tried to do it discreetly.
'I like it when you panic' Paul said in a deep voice as he bent down and said it in my ear, my hands stilled as did my body though my heart was racing. I just looked away from him. I heard a distant howl Paul turned to look.
'I have to go' he said I didn't want him to leave I just stayed where I was
'Okay' I said in a small voice, I closed my eyes when I felt him kiss the top of my head, then I felt the heat leave me, I looked up and Paul had gone, I closed the door.
I lay there with a smile on my face, looking at the ceiling, I was glad I had Sue, I laughed to myself thinking of poor Seth, I fell asleep thinking I had work early the next day. Sue drove me to work as she was heading to Port Angelous for the day, I thanked her and went in the back entrance.
'Morning Carl!' I called out to the Chef and owner he was a kind guy, he loved his job and all the costumers
'Hey life saver' he called back I laughed and got changed and pulled my apron on. I wiped al the tables down, stocked up the sauces and napkins. I done as much as I could remember Sue had shown me. I checked the toilets, though Carl done them every morning and checked them in the evening, they were all okay, we would be opening soon, it was only me on today, though it may get busy, people were ill and I couldn't let Sue work as she as so looking forward to going out for th day.
'Carl is there anything urgent I need to do?' I called through to him
'OH yeah, Marie said that some of the shelves need to be wiped down' he called as he was getting ready for the breakfast service.
'Okay will do' I called back to him, I moved the things and wiped down the dirty shelves, I opened up and put the signs out and pulled the blinds open, I carried on cleaning until the first costumers started to come in, though they didn't, I cleaned, the underside of the tables, read a news paper for a while, then rearranged some things so they looked a little better, I made sure the menus were all clean, I got a pot of warm water and a towel and gradually made my way around washing and drying the seats they were surprisingly grubby, it was now 2:15 Carl came out.
'Wow, brilliant, looks fab!' he said looking around
'Oh thanks' I said surprised he noticed
'Do you want something to eat?' he asked
'Yes please, could I have-' I looked at the menu he then passed me I chose a sandwich he went arund the back and made it for me.
'Thank you' as he passed it to me.
Take a seat, if anyone comes in just give me a call' he said going around the back again
'Okay, thanks Carl!' I called after him
I finished my food and got back to work, I made a start on cleaning the inside of the windows where there were grubby finger marks and other things which I didn't want to know, I then made a list of things we were running low on for Carl. The bell went as the elderly couple walked in that were in last time I was working I walked over to them,
'Good afternoon' I greeted them with a smile
'Oh hello there Dear, nice to see you again' the lady smiled
'Lovely to see you both' I said smiling at the gentleman, they slowly took their seats, I took their menus to them and got their drink orders, a few other people dripped in, the rest of the shift went past quite quickly. I waved goodbye to the last customers, I locked the door and let out a long breath, I piled up some trays with all the dirty plates and cups and carried them out to the back I put them near the wash up where Carl was clearing away all the food in the fridges and washing down the surfaces.
'Well done, today, you done well' he said to me
'Thank you' I said feeling proud of myself. I washed down the tables and reset them ready for tomorrows shift, I done as much as I could, I looked at the clock it was nearly 5:35PM I walked through to the back and started to put the cups and plates through the wash to help Carl I was nearly finished I had just stacked everything up at the back, I checked out front now and again to make sure it was all okay.
'Thanks for everything, I'll close up from here' Carl called through to me
'Okay, no problem, just call if you need a hand' I said then I changed back into my normal clothes, it was starting to get dark, I pulled my phone out and checked my messages.
Why won't you come back or talk to us! We just want to make sure you are safe and happy! I frowned down at it, it was from my Aunt and uncle, I just locked my phone and put it back in my pocket.
I stated to make my way back to Sues, I wondered if Paul would be on patrol soon? I walked along the edge of the road, as cars drove past me,
'Hey!' I heard someone call from behind I didn't look round I didn't want to.
'LIL' the voice called out, I turned around pulling the scarf away from my face it was Paul, just a T-shirt and Cut offs. I smiled seeing him coming over to me, his hair flopping over his face,
'How are you not cold?' I asked him as I was all wrapped up
'Just too hot' he said with a sparkle in his eye, I just rolled my eyes and smiled to myself
'So modest' I joked towards him
'That's what I tell everyone' he quickly replied. He walked right up to me, I looked at him
'How was work?' I asked him he just huffed we started to walk together I shifted my bag onto my shoulder, working and lifting had made my shoulder tender but only slightly, I moved it to the other side, as I was halfway though swinging it across my body I felt the weight go, Paul had taken it from me and slung it over his shoulder away from me, he was facing forwards, I felt the heat creep up my cheeks, I buried my face down into my scarf to hide it.
'Sam is such a tyrant, he just keeps going on all the time, once we have finished one job he has 3 more lined up, it is never ending, plus he is in a shit mood I guess Emily is making his Balls blue, that's what it was last time' he said laughing to himself I didn't say anything I was too shocked, he faced me with a grin on his face, I just glanced at him his smiled faded as he thought over what he had just told me.
'Sorry' he said I just stayed quiet I didn't know how to respond to him.
'How was your day?' he asked slightly vague
'Yeah it was good thank you, we had quite a few people in, a lovely elderly couple, they are so brilliant and funny they are like naughty kids' I laughed thinking abut them.
'Yeah?' he said looking at me my bag swinging over his shoulder
'Yeah he is so quirt as she chats on and he just looks at her, as though he is seeing her for the first time' I smiled thinking of them and how love like that is so rare I couldn't imagine it.
'Then some truckers and some regulars, they asked where Sue was, it is amazing how many people come in though out the day considering the diner is in the middle of nowhere' I rattled on.
'What time do you have patrol?' I asked him changing the subject
'About 10pm, Sam is seeing the Cullens tonight so we need to keep a look out for anything suspicious, I wouldn't even give them the time of day, I would wipe them out, completely irradiate the threat' he said anger raising in him.
'Well Sam will sort it out and you let anything happen or get out of hand' I said hoping h wouldn't flip out he just clenched his jaw, I took his hand in mine and looked up at him
'Will you?' I asked him he looked down at me
'No, never' he said deadly serious
'Then there is nothing to worry 'bout' I said letting his hand go though he kept hold of it, I wrapped my finger around his hand again, we walked in silence we didn't have far to go now.
We walked up to the house, my phone buzzed again, I pulled it out of my pocket it was my Aunt and Uncle again this time they were ringing me, I ignored it.
'Who's that?' Paul asked
'No one, just an unknown number' I lied to him and put my phone on silent.
'Thanks for walking me back, it's really kind of you' I said to him
'Well I couldn't let you walk alone' he said
'Why am I in-capaple?' I asked him raising my eyebrow at him
'No I should think you can handle yourself but I don't think you minded it' he said with a smile I just rolled my eyes
'Thanks again' I said to him as he passed me my bag, I looked down at our hands still together.
'I hope the talk goes well tonight' I said he looked worried
'It'll be fine' he dismissed
'What are your plans tomorrow?' I asked him
'Working, covering Jake, Bella has summoned him, so he has gone over with his tail between his legs, I think she has finally left that leech, hence the talk' Paul said shaking his head
'You really don't like her?' I asked him
'Anything that hurts the pack I'm not a fan of' he said in a "matter of fact" tone,
'I mean the fact that he can read minds is just sick, we all like to play to that though' he said smirking to himself, I just watched him, he was so passionate about the pack and protective, though none of the pack saw him in that way.
thanks for taking a look!
