A/N THERE IS A LEMON IN THIS CHAPTER! I hope you guys enjoy this one.

PPOV

After talking to Bella during her lunch break I was a little upset still. That Mike guy really pissed me off, I tried to keep my cool like Bella had asked me but it was hard to do. My wolf knew he was the one who caused our mate pain he wanted to hurt the kid. I knew he was scared of me too, I'm glad.

Bella said she would be at Jared's party on Saturday, hope she doesn't mind that we drink it's not like we could get drunk off of it.

The rest of the week went by in a slow pace that might have had something to do with the fact that I didn't see Bella much. Sure she would call or text me whenever she could, but it was nothing like being around her. On the days and nights where I didn't have to patrol I would try to keep busy helping out at the garage working on a few vehicles here and there. Other than that I spent my time either playing my guitar or sleeping.

Friday afternoon I was out in the back yard playing my guitar. All week I was practicing when I had the free time, I taught myself to play I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. After I heard it the first time I knew I wanted to learn to play it for Bella. I settled down in my chair and started playing and singing the song.

Well you've done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing, were just one big family
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love lovenibble your ear

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you want to, come on, scootch over closer dear
And I will

This part made think about nibbling on Bella's ear, neck and the rest of her body.

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
so please don't please don't please don't.
There's no need to complicate
'cause our time is short
This oh this oh this is our fate I'm yours

This was definitely our fate, and I am so thankful it brought me her.

Oh I'm yours

I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

No I won't hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours, I'm yours

I hadn't realized I was being watched until I heard my dad clapping. I turned around and grinned at him, I knew he enjoyed me playing since I learned from him.

"Wow son that was great. So you learned another song huh."

"Hey dad yeah another song."

"I better watch myself you're going to end up being better than me. So did you learn that song for anyone special?" He smirked at me.

"What are you talking about old man, I am already better than you. And actually yes I was thinking about playing it for Bella." I told him.

"So did she accept that you imprinted on her?"

"Actually yeah she did but she just wants to be friends right now. She said she's not ready for anything more than that yet. She wants to get to know me before she jumps into a new relationship."

"After what she went through with that leech I don't blame her. She is probably afraid she'll get abandoned again. You sure have your work cut out for you son. You are going to have to earn her trust and love."

"Yeah I know dad, it sucks that because of what he did to her she doesn't trust me. I just hope she has more faith in me than him. I know it's probably going to take some time but I know it is all worth it."

We sat in silence for a few moments until I started feeling a sharp pain in my chest. I dropped to my knees and clutched at my chest. What the hell was wrong with me?

"Paul what is it?" My dad said coming to kneel next to me.

"I. Don't. Know." I gasped out. I was in pain, but it's like it wasn't really my pain I was feeling. Oh!

"Shit dad there is something wrong with Bella, I have to go." With that I handed him my guitar and stood stripping my shirt off. As soon as I made it to the trees I phased not bothering with the shorts. My imprint was in pain something was wrong with her and I needed to get to her.

"Paul what are you doing phased you're not on right now." Sam said.

I didn't bother answering him I knew he could see my thoughts. I had to get to her NOW.

"Alright Paul stay calm I can tell you now it isn't a leech. Just get there and find out if she's okay."

I made it to the Swan's home phased and yanked some shorts on as fast as I could. Charlie's cruiser wasn't in the driveway as I went up to the door to knock. There was no answer but I know she's here I can hear her heartbeat. I knocked one last time and she still didn't answer the door. I had to get in there something was really wrong with her. The pain in my chest kept hurting more and more. Fuck it. I twisted the door knob and yes it was unlocked I opened the door a little and called out for her.

"Bella? It's me Paul." She didn't give any reply. I opened the door all the way and stepped in. I walked into the house she wasn't in the living room. I heard her heartbeat coming from upstairs. I made my way up the stairs and to what I am assuming was her bedroom door. It was closed so I gently knocked on it I didn't want to scare her more than she already was.

"Bella I'm coming in okay don't be scared it's just me Paul."

I opened her door stepped in and just as I went to close the door behind me I heard her sniffling. I walked around to the other side of her room and found her on the floor curled up in a fetal position clutching at something in her hand. Next to her was a floor board that looked like she took out. As I got closer and knelt down next to her I noticed there was a cd and what looked like airline tickets.

"Bella what's wrong? Was all of this in your floor or something?" I asked her as I reached out to rub her back. She flinched back from my touch but then she looked up at me. I didn't expect her to do what she did at that moment. She took one look at me and then sat up and launched herself at me wrapping her arms around me. I held her to me and rubbed her back trying to calm her down.

"Paul please don't leave me. Please stay here hold me please." She sobbed out.

"Baby I'm not going anywhere but what is wrong please tell me."

"I-I can't." Her hold on me tightened as she continued to cry.

I am not sure how much time passed by when her crying came to a stop. I noticed a box of tissues on her desk, so I reached up and grabbed one for her. She blew her nose and turned to look at me. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and still a little tear filled. I reached up to wipe the remainder tears from her cheeks and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Thank you for being here for me Paul." She paused and took a deep breath before continuing. "I was cleaning up my room when I stepped right here the floor board squeaked strangely. It's never done that before. So I bent down to check it out and noticed it was loose. I picked it up and that's when I found all this stuff." She started sniffling again and some tears started to fall again. "How could he do this to me. Why did he hide all of this in here? I thought he took it with him, it was all gone he made it look like he took it, but why did he hide it in here?"

I already knew exactly who she was talking about but I didn't know what any of this stuff was.

"Paul can you do me a favor and get rid of all of this for me. I don't want it in here and I don't want it around me."

"Yeah sure." I went to grab all the things she had pulled up from her floor board to throw them out when I noticed the plane tickets were to go to Florida. I remembered Jacob saying her mom lived out there.

"Bella are you sure you don't want to keep these tickets to go see your mom sometime?" I asked her.

She looked at the tickets for a minute and pulled her bottom lip between her teeth chewing on it. Seconds passed before she released it.

"Yeah I guess I could use them only." She paused looking at me in the eyes. "Only if um Paul would you go with me when I do use them please. I'd really like it if you did." She said turning away from me.

I stepped towards her knelt back down to her and place my fingers under her chin bringing her eyes to look back up at me. "Bella I would love to go with you." I said placing a small peck on her lips. I couldn't help myself I had to do it. "Of course I have to make sure Sam lets me off my pack duties." I said chuckling.

"Oh yeah right of course you should check with him first." She said chuckling in return. "I'll just put these away somewhere until we decided when to go." She said grabbing the tickets from me. She stood up and walked over to her dresser and placed the tickets in the top drawer.

I stood back up and went to get rid of the rest of the stuff she asked me to. I threw all of the things into a trash can on the side of the house. When I came back inside Bella was sitting on her bed. She looked up when I stepped closer to her bed. I didn't expect her to grab me by the hands and pull me down to her so when she did I lost my balance and fell on top of her. She didn't care thought she just wrapped her arms around my back. I put one of my hands down flat against the mattress putting weight on my arm instead of on her. After a few minutes I rolled she released her hold on me when I went to lay next to her. I was on my back while she moved to put her head against my chest and placed her arm over my waist. We stayed that way for a while neither of us saying anything just enjoying the silence. She was the first to speak.

"Paul h-how did you know I needed you right now?" She asked me while tracing circles over my stomach and chest.

"I was talking to my dad at home about a song he had just heard me playing when I felt this sharp pain in my chest. At first I didn't know why I was feeling it, but then the more I was feeling it I realized it wasn't my pain I was feeling. I knew it was your pain I was feeling, so I ran here as fast as I could I didn't know what was wrong just that you were in pain." I took a breath before continuing. "When I got here and found you lying on the floor I was so scared at first it hurts me to see you in pain. It's because of the imprint."

"Oh, well I am thankful for the imprint right now. I can't believe he hid all of that here, I thought it was gone I never expected to see any of that stuff again." She said quietly as she turned to look up at me. "Thank you so much Paul. I really appreciate you being her for me." She said as she placed her hand on top of my chest where my heart was beating crazy fast. She had a loving lustful look in her eyes. They also held so much trust in me I could tell.

I don't know how long she planned on wanting to just remain friends but with her looking at me like that I couldn't contain myself. I leaned down as I pulled her chin up toward me. "Bella." Was all I got out before our lips crashed against each other her lips were so soft and fit perfectly with mine.

I brushed my tongue across her bottom lip, as my tongue entered her mouth hers danced along with mine. She moaned into my mouth causing me to release my own moan. I ran my hand across her cheek and up into her hair gripping at the back of her head. Bella's tongue continued to fight with mine as she wound her fingers through the hair at the back of my neck. Her hands began to roam from my neck down my shoulders and continued to the front of my chest. I mimicked her movements by brushing my right hand down her shoulder to her hand and down to her waist. I ran my hand across the bottom of her shirt along the hemline that was raised exposing her skin. I continued to brush my fingers over her skin feeling the goose bumps as I did so. This caused her to let out another moan as she ran her hand down my chest to my abs and further down to my shorts.

For someone who was wanting to just be friends she sure wasn't kissing me like that's what she wanted.

I started running my hand further up her shirt stopping just at the bottom of her bra. She gave no sign of wanting me to stop. I moved my lips kissing her chin and all along her jaw line. I trailed hot open mouthed kisses down her throat as I brushed my hand across her breast she let out another moan and arched her back raising her chest up against me. I kissed her back up her throat to pausing at her ear.

"Bella if you want me to stop you need to say so, I won't be able to stop soon." I whispered in her ear.

"No don't stop." She whispered back. Oh god I hope she meant that.

"Are you sure Bella, I need you to be sure." I whispered back in her ear.

She took a deep breath before answering. "Okay maybe we won't do that tonight but just kiss me Paul."

I didn't have to be told twice especially since she yanked me back to her. Our lips crashed against each others once again. I know she said she didn't want to do anything more tonight but there was absolutely nothing wrong with some good old fashioned dry humping right? And kissing like we were was not helping my current situation. I moved my knee between her legs and spread her legs as I moved to rest between them. As she spread her legs I was able to smell her arousal even more than I had before. She pulled her lips away from mine as she trailed her lips down my throat to my chest. Her nails were scraping across the back of my shoulders. I grabbed the bottom of her shirt and started to lift it up I looked down at her questioning if it was okay she nodded at me and I pulled her shirt up and off of her. She was left clad in a thin white bra I was able to see her hardened nipples protruding through the fabric of her bra. I ran my hand over her stomach and up to her chest rubbing at her left breast she let out another moan as I kissed down her neck once again.

I pushed the top of her bra that covered her breast up and pushed it down exposing her. I pinched her nipple between my fingers then moved my mouth down and sucked it into my mouth. I twisted my tongue all around her nipple. She let out another moan and started kissing me back up my chest to my neck. She trailed her kisses up to the skin beneath my ear and sucked it in between her lips and teeth. I let out a loud moan of my own.

"Ungh Bella."

I released her nipple and placed a kiss on it before trailing kisses back up her collar bone to her shoulder while I started massaging her breast in my hand. As I was kissing her along her shoulder I ground my hips into her heated core. As soon as I did that she let out another moan.

"Ungh Paul do that again."

I did as she asked this time as I did it she brought her hips up to mine. I did it over and over again, I felt an orgasm starting to build but I wanted her to have her release first I knew she was close. She wrapped her legs around my waist pushing her feet into my ass. I continued to kiss her as I was bringing her to her release.

"Paul don't stop do it harder." She groaned out.

"Bella baby ungh this feels so good."

With one final push against her she screamed my name.

"PAUL!" Her legs tightened around me holding me against her as her nails dug into the back of my shoulders.

My release came right after hers, "Bella." I moaned out.

I was kissing her on the spot where her neck met her shoulder. I knew this was where my wolf was going to want to mark her.

I brought my head up and pressed my forehead against hers we stayed like that trying to get our breathing back in control. My eyes were closed as I felt her pulling me to her she gave me a sweet sensual kiss. I opened my eyes up to find hers staring right back at me. She had a smile on her that brightened up her whole face. I knew in that moment we were not going to be just friends any more. But I had to ask her I wanted to see where we stood now.

I brushed some hair behind her ear. "Bella that was just wow I don't know how good it was for you but damn baby." I pecked her on her lips again before asking her. "Okay now I have to ask you, are you sure you still want to be just friends for now? I don't know if I could handle being just friends after this."

She let out a small giggle before she answered me. "God no Paul I don't think I want to be friends with you anymore not after that. I really needed that and I am so damn glad you did that for me. To answer your first question yes I loved it it was more than good for me." She kissed me before continuing. "And Paul I would love to try to be more than friends now. I know you will be there for me no matter what, you proved that by being here when I needed you the most. So if you still want to be with me then hell yes I want to be with you."

"Hell yes of course I want to be with you more than ever girl your crazy if you think I wouldn't want to."

With that said we crashed our lips back against each other's once again. I was the first to pull away from her I couldn't help but to keep smiling at her.

"What's got you smiling so big huh?" She asked me.

"You." I said as I rolled us over pulling her on top of me.

"Oh really, and why is that?" She asked me.

"Because you just made me the happiest man on the face of this planet."

"Well actually Paul you have one thing wrong with that."

"Oh yeah what's that?"

"You are not a man." She giggled.

"Excuse me? I am pretty damn sure I am all man baby, would you like me to show you how much of a man I am for you again?" I asked her as I thrust my hips up to her.

"No see your still wrong there you are not all man." She said as she leaned down to my ear. "You my dear are also one hot and sexy wolf." She said placing a kiss just below my ear.

"Yep you got that right I am pretty damn sexy aren't I and being a wolf is just one of the perks."

She placed another kiss on my lips then got up off of me and stood by the bed. "Hey where did you throw my shirt at?"

"I have no idea sorry." I said shrugging my shoulders.

She walked over to her dresser and pulled another shirt out of one of the drawers. After she pulled it on she walked to the door and looked over her shoulder at me. "Come on I'm going to make something to eat and if I'm hungry I know you are too."

I got up and followed her out the door I told her I would meet her downstairs after I used the restroom.

Walking into the kitchen I watched Bella for a moment standing at the counter making us something to eat. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"What you making?" I asked her as I moved her hair back behind her shoulder and placed a kiss against her neck.

"I'm just making us some sandwiches and chip."

Once she was finished I released my hold on her and grabbed one of the plates that I assumed was mine since it had four sandwiches stacked on it. We walked over to the table and sat down to eat.

After eating the sandwiches I helped her clean up and we went into the living room to watch some t.v. we started talking about Jared's party tomorrow night and everything that we were going to be doing.

The sun had started to set I didn't even realize it was so late already. I knew her dad was going to be home soon and if he seen me here with her in nothing but shorts I'm not sure he would be too happy.

"Bella I better get going before your dad gets here."

"Yeah I guess you should."

She stood up with me and walked me to the door. I turned her to me as we reached the door and gave her one last long and heated kiss. I pulled away grinning at her and wrapped my arms around her.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay." I told her.

"Okay I can't wait to go to the party and I can't wait to be in your arms again. Thank you for being here for me Paul." She said

I gave her one more peck on the lips and released my hold on her. I walked away and headed to the tree line. I phased as soon as I hit the trees. I was so lost in thoughts about what just happened between us I forgot to take my shorts off. I couldn't wait to see her tomorrow night or any night after that.

"Woah Paul so I'm assuming she was alright when you got there and apparently your more than friends huh." Shit I forgot Sam was on patrol when I came to see Bella.

"Yeah everything is good now, and yes we are no longer just friends. I'm going to head home now I'll see you tomorrow."

I wasn't going to see him until Jared's party since I had to patrol the early morning shift. I made it back home and went to my room. I definitely could not wait to have her in my arms again.
