It started with that one night Paul could not control his curiosity. It had been two weeks since that first night and things were progressing rather nicely, Bella thought. They had talked about everything, from their lives before the supernatural had invaded to how Bella had gotten tangled up with the Cullens and how Paul had dealt with phasing for the first time. Although Paul was brash and unapologetic, Bella appreciated these things about him. He was real and honest. Rough around the edges, maybe, but he was true to who he was, and she loved it. She loved him.
