La Victorie

"I won." Seth seemed dead sure about this, even though he was dead wrong. It was the final day of school before we got out for a week, it was a scheduled off day and then bad weather day and then Halloween. All classes ended after lunch so my last school memory for a few weeks would be Seth telling me he won a game he didn't even know how to play.

I ran my hands through my hair and shook my head, "Seth you can't do that, you lost." this was maybe the 5th time I had tried to reason with him. It seemed being stubborn was a trait of the shapeshifters... or from what I learned it was a trait of Quileutes.

His brown eyes scanned the paper and he grabbed a pencil and drew all over it. "This game is stupid." he picked up the paper and crumpled it up tossing it in the trash can nest to our desk. "You pick dumb games let's play hangman."

When he opened his notebook again I took it away from him, "No!" I almost yelled, "You make up words!" It was true, we played the other day and he tried to tell me that raedempanasium was a word.

Quickly he shook his head and leaned across the table to grab his notebook which I held out of reach. "I only did that when you started putting words in French!" I smirked at the memory, he was beating me so I used French to beat him. Of course he didn't like that and whined about it like he was now.

"Yes I did but I used real words, you did not!" he rolled his eyes and leaned back in his seat. "Don't even argue!" I snapped as he opened his mouth.

He made a face and looked at the clock, we still had almost twenty minutes left of class. "So what are you getting Paul for his birthday?" I looked at Seth for a moment and groaned.

I had forgotten about that, Paul's birthday was today, October 23. He was turning 18 and I had no idea what to get him. "I don't fucking know, what does he want?" I honestly had no idea what to get him, Paul was hard to shop for. I couldn't believe I had forgotten his birthday, he had been reminding me just about everyday of last month and the beginning of his one.

Seth laughed loudly and covered his hand with his mouth trying to cover the laughter with a cough. I raised an eyebrow and looked at him as he turned his face from the sub who was now glaring at him. His eyes met mine and she shrugged with a strange smile on his lips. "I don't know what he wants for his birthday but I know what he has been thinking about a lot." he laughed again but this time covered his moth trying to stay quiet.

I looked at him for a moment before I realized what Seth was talking about, "Shut the hell up!" I looked away blushing slightly, I had completely forgotten that anything he thought about could be seen by any of the guys or Leah while they were in wolf form.

Seth put his head on the desk and his whole frame was shaking but I knew he was laughing. Rolling my eyes I crossed my arms over my chest and turned away from him. I hated that part of Paul being a wolf, his thoughts being known by everyone. Especially thoughts that I knew were there but I didn't know they were common.

Thinking that sex had never crossed Paul's mind was just stupid. The number of times we had to stop kissing or something because he needed to cool down was enough to assure me he had thought about it. He said the pull of the imprint made it even harder for him to control himself so he had to make sure we stopped before he reached the point where he wouldn't care. I had even thought about it a few times, but I hadn't thought of actually doing it yet, just what it would be like.

It finally seemed Seth was able to talk with out laughing because he looked up at me, "You asked I told you so get mad at him for thinking it!" once again he started laughing quietly, the little bastard seemed to think this was funny.

"Oh I am mad at him!" I snapped huffing at the thought of what they could have seen. Paul had never seen me with out my bra on so they didn't see that from his memories but his I knew his imagination was vivid.

Shaking his head he shrugged, "Well what is he suppose to think about when you... never mind."

Seth quickly turned away from me as I looked at him with wide eyes, "When I what?" I hissed, "What the hell did he tell you guys!" he shook his head and moved away from me. "Seth Clearwater you will tell me this minute or I swear I will tell your mother what you have in your wallet!" he looked up at me with wide eyes and shook his head. As a joke Paul and Jared gave him a condom when he went on a date with this girl and he just put it in his wallet rolling his eyes.

He groaned, "You can't my mother will kill me but if I tell you Paul will kill me to!" I raised an eyebrow and he put his hand on his forehead, "Fine!" victory. "He thought about it one time, um... when you kiss you always touch his stomach and you get really low some.. or mostly all the time." My eyes widened and felt my face heat up big time. I can't believe he had told them that, I had only noticed it and told him I was sorry so many times.

When the bell rang I stood up quickly grabbing my bag, "I am going to kill him!" I knew my face was still red but I didn't care. I heard Seth call after me begging for me not to say anything as I walked out of the classroom. He was standing at his locker talking to Jared as the others walked up to the two of them.

When he saw me he smiled, "Hey Lala." his smile faltered when he saw my face.

I shook my head and glared at him my face still hot, "Don't hey Lala me!" I snapped as I heard one of the guys behind Paul laugh. He raised an eyebrow at me and gave me a confused look. "I can't believe you told them that about me!" I pushed him back but he didn't move, I knew he wouldn't but a part of me wished he had.

His confused look grew even more pronounced as he looked at me then to Seth. Sudden realization hit and he looked down at me shaking his head. "I didn't tell them that I thought about it on accident!"

He tried to grab my hand but I stepped away from him and put my hands on my hips. "You thought it multiple times on accident?" I asked as the other guys started to realize what I was talking about and started laughing.

Paul sent a glare to the guys behind him and sighed, "Well you do it a lot." he muttered quietly and I groaned and started walking away from him. "No I'm sorry don't walk away from me!" he said wrapping his arm around my waist pulling me back to him.

I leaned into him and groaned feeling his warmth and taking in his sent. I felt his chest rumble and knew he was laughing quietly. "I'm not forgiving you but we will talk about it later." I muttered looking up at him.

His laughter rumbled his chest and I smiled rolling my eyes. It didn't matter to him if I threatened him most of the time, he simply over looked it or turned on the charm when ever I was mad. When he turned back to the others he didn't let go of me, of course by now I was used to it. Paul was a very possessive person he liked to have me at arms length at all times. It wasn't the creepy kind like a stalker or something, it was him being himself... and I had to admit I was the same way.

Leaning into Paul's chest I listened to him talk with the others. I usually would have asked to leave the school and just go somewhere else but that would mean he would move me and I was perfectly content in his warm arms. I knew I was mad at him earlier but somehow being in his arms made me slightly forget he had done anything wrong. But only slightly.

I noticed Paul give Seth a dirty look and I stood on his foot. It didn't hurt him but he looked down at me. "You are not going to do anything to him!" I knew I was going to have to tell him later, he wasn't going to listen to me if I only told him once.

He kissed my head and grinned , "I should be able to do whatever I want today." I rolled my eyes but smiled none the less.

I heard Jared groan, "No one cares what today is Paul!" he yelled earning a slap on the chest from Kim. I could tell he was joking, as I'm sure everyone else did.

Natalya spoke up from Embry's side, "I care, what's today?" She asked Paul pulling her eyebrows together.

"My birthday." he made it seem like it wasn't a big thing but by the tone of his voice I knew he was inwardly extremely happy.

She smiled, "Oh then happy birthday!" Embry smiled and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

I laughed and looked up at Paul who was smiling, "See she cares!" he yelled at Jared who made a face. "Thank you Natalya for being the second person in everyone I know to tell me happy birthday." He looked down at me, I hadn't told him happy birthday yet and I guess he wasn't all that happy with me.

Rolling my eyes I turned around to face him, "Happy birthday you big baby." he laughed lowly and kissed me.

"Mr. Walker Ms. Marshall, you are not twenty feet away from the door can you honestly not control yourselves for two minutes!" As I heard the shrill voice of Mrs. Wills I put my face against Paul's chest trying not to laugh.

Paul's chest vibrated in quiet laughter, "Sorry Mrs. Wills it's my birthday!" as he spoke his laughter came out. I heard her mutter something in Quileute but it wasn't loud enough for me to understand her.

As we walked outside we were all laughing, Mrs. Wills seemed to be the only one who ever caught any of us in those kind of situations. She had even gotten onto Embry for kissing Natalya's cheek about a week ago. She practically praised Jacob and Seth because she hadn't caught them with a girl. However if Nessie ever went to school here then she would and Seth just hadn't imprinted yet.

Jacob laughed from beside Quil and pushed Paul lightly, "Yeah Mr. Walker control your self!" I laughed putting my hands against his chest. "One of these days she is going to catch one of you in a really bad situation and is going to have a heart attack!" Despite the fact that Jacob only said that in a joking manner it was probably true.

Kim rolled her eyes looking at Natalya who was shaking her head, "You guys are disgusting." I laughed loudly as scrunched up her nose. In Natalya's eyes sex and sexual things were just gross right now. I never understood why, I thought by now she would have grown out of that phase but she hadn't.

Paul raised an eyebrow and looked at Natalya before turning to Embry smirking. "You are never losing your virginity, sorry man!" I lightly slapped his chest and rolled my eyes.

He looked down at me and shrugged as Embry pulled Natalya into a hug as she gave Paul a dirty look. Smiling he bent down and kissed her cheek before looking at his phone and rolling his eyes. "I need to get home my mom is seriously going to kill me if I'm not there on time." I frowned as the conversation took the turn we all knew was coming. Lately Ms. Call had gotten even worse on how she felt about the guys and even Natalya.

Whether or not his mom liked it today or not Natalya had to go to Embry's house and work on a project they were doing in history class. "See you later Natalya." I said as she walked away with Embry towards her lexus.

As we all seemed to go our separate ways I looked over and saw Dillon standing against the wall. A small smirk came to my face as I stepped closer to Paul. When he had fought with Paul early in the year he had gotten so many bruises and a broken nose, and busted lip to go with it. He had a scar on his lip where he had to get stitches but he never told on Paul. In Dillon's mind doing anything like that would show that he wasn't as strong and as big as he thought he was.

Turing my attention back to Paul who was doing the manly hug thing with Jared. "Bye Kim bye Jared!" Kim smiled and waved as she grabbed Jared's arm walking to his truck. I looked back up at Paul who was once again just looking at me, "So what do you want for your birthday?" I asked walking to his truck.

He made a sound and I looked back at him, "I don't know. I always get asked that by my mom and other people but I never know what to tell them." a grin came to his face as he opened the door and helped me into his truck.

Letting out a sigh I waited for him to get in. "Okay let me ask again, what do you want from me?" he got in and looked at me shrugging. "Don't say the same thing because I'm getting you something!" I warned as he started his truck.

He looked over at me and laughed, "Babe all I want is you and I have that so there is nothing else you could give me." I narrowed my eyes at his response, it was so typical.

Everyone wanted something, if someone said that I didn't want anything or as Paul said that he only wanted me. Then I learned that they were to afraid or embarrassed to ask for what they really wanted. "Don't tell me that. Paul you know I'm going to get you something. Just tell me what you want babe!" I whined turning my body so I could look at him.

His eyes met mine and he sighed, "Have dinner with my mom and me tonight and just stay with me." I sighed and shook my head, I was going to have to get him something tomorrow, and I would have to use my dad and Jared to help me decide what. Paul was going to be an ass and not tell me. "So are you going to have dinner with my mom and me."

"My mom and I." I corrected with out thinking.

I saw his eyebrows pull together and the corners of his mouth twitch upwards. "Did you seriously just correct my grammar?" It was obvious by his tone of voice that this amused him.

Groaning I looked out the window smiling slightly, "Yes I don't know why I'm sorry!" I said as the laughter I was trying to keep in came out. I couldn't believe that I did that, must have been a side effect from being around my sister to much.

Paul turned to look at me and smiled, "You are so weird." he shook his head stopping his truck in front of his house.

Raising an eyebrow I looked at him accusingly, "Says the shape shifter?" He could turn into a giant wolf and I was the weird one in this relationship? I wasn't sure how he came to that conclusion.

A smirk came to his handsome face, "At least I don't go around correcting people's grammar." With a final satisfied smirk in my direction he got out of the truck.

Now I could have done one of two things the first option would be letting him win this little contest because what I did kinda made me a little weird. Or I could have done the thing I did and turn his statement around using it against him.

Jumping out of his truck I watched him as he walked towards his house, "You don't do it because your tiny little animal brain can't comprehend the big words." he stopped walking and turned around to face me. A smirk came to my face as he gawked at me. Crossing my arms over my chest I walked past him smirking.

I felt his warm hand on my arm and he pulled me back bending down to my eye level , "Did you really just insult my intelligence?" though his face was serious I could see it in his eyes that he wasn't mad or upset now.

I looking up at him I laughed, "Wow you actually understood that, that was what I was doing!" I clapped and patted the top of his head. "Good boy!" The look on his face was priceless as he looked at me with a look that was a mix of your funny and your insane. I looked behind him noticing Ella's car wasn't here. "Where is your mom?"

He looked at me for a moment as if he wasn't sure what I had said, "Um at work I think, I'm not sure why?" he said looking back where his mom usually parked.

I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly, "Happy birthday." I smiled standing on my tippy toes trying to kiss him. He seemed to get the idea when he bent down pressing his warm lips to mine. "I love you." I muttered as I reluctantly pulled my lips from his.

"I love you too." he said trying to hide the frown that was forming on his face. "Why did you pull away?" I wasn't sure if he did this on purpose or not but as he spoke his mouth turned into a small pout.

Laughing slightly I stood on my tippy toes kissing his throat. "Because anytime we kiss in public someone seems to catch us and I don't want your mother to be one of the people who do." A chuckle came from deep in his throat as he kissed my cheek and held the door open for me.

This was the first time I had been in his house since I stayed a while ago. Paul had been on patrol and really busy a lot. Any time we just hung out it was at my house, where my dad could make sure we weren't doing anything 'inappropriate' as he said. As soon as I stepped in the door I noticed all pictures of Scott and a few things I was sure were his were gone. I knew Paul broke the wedding picture but there had been more than I knew he didn't break. Some how it felt better now, as if that pain was somewhat lifted.

Paul closed the door behind me and tossed his bag across the room. I rolled my eyes as he grinned at me. The look on his face made me raise an eyebrow. He let out a deep breath and put his hands on his hips pulling me close. "My birthday was finally looking up when you had to move." the smirk was evident on his lips as his eyes scanned my face landing on my lips. "I hate it when you decide to be responsible." I bit my lip and he shook his head. "Such small things you do drive me absolutely crazy."

Before I could speak his lips crashed down upon mine. His hands grabbed my hips pulling my body to his as every curve of my body seemed to fit perfectly right with his. As our lips and tongues moved with each others my hands moved up his clothed chest and to his broad shoulders. I tried to pull him closer to me but he growled slightly pulled away from me breathing heavy.

I bit the inside of my swollen lip as the confusion and sting of rejection started to hit me. When I looked up at him his scowl softened, "My mom is coming baby." he whispered leaning down kissing my forehead and stepping away from me just as the front door opened.

Ella's arms were full of grocery bags as she made her way to the counter and set them down. Paul looked at me and grinned, I pulled my eyebrows together as he pointed to a bag. Rolling my eyes I shook my head, he was pointing to a bag that had the things to make a cake in it. Ella looked up and smiled at me, "Paul go outside and get the rest of the bags please?" a small smile came to my face, I knew she only said please because it was his birthday.

He nodded and grabbed my hand, "Sure thing." he said pulling me outside as she started to put up the grocery's. "She is making me a cake and she is cooking my favorite meal." I laughed at the grin that was on his face.

I patted his arm and nodded. "It's your birthday, of course she is making you that stuff." he shrugged picking up the last three bags from the trunk of Ella's car. "I can't believe that food is what's on your mind!"

I laughed as he stopped walking and smirked down at me, "Oh trust me babe I have a little more than food on my mind." As his eyes looked down my body I knew Seth hadn't been lying about Paul's thoughts. The look in his eyes gave it away.

Paul grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips kissing my knuckles walking back into the house. I smiled slightly and I slowly followed him inside, I wasn't sure why but I couldn't get the look in his eyes out of my mind. I could describe it but it sent chills down my spine and made my heart beat a little bit faster. Shaking my head I followed him into the house smiling.

When I got inside Paul was leaning against the counter talking to his mother. She was laughing at what ever she was saying and he had a smile on his face as she patted his arm. Here lately my family never smiled like that, we used to all the time, but that was before we left France. In my heart I knew it was my fault but there was nothing I could do to change it. Before I would have gone back and changed everything, acted better so I could have stayed there. Now I knew if the chance ever came up I would say no. If I hadn't acted like that then we would have never comeback and Paul and I wouldn't be together.

Paul looked up at me and his smile grew, "She is making fried chicken." I laughed and nodded walking over to them as he pulled me to him. "It's because she loves me." he grinned at Ella who rolled her eyes and laughed more.

Giving him a questioning look I raised an eyebrow, "You sure you just turned 18 and not five?" Ella looked at me nodding as she laughed as Paul scoffed and took his arm off of my shoulders.

He looked down at me and pretended to look hurt, "I can't believe you said that!" I rolled my eyes, "It's my birthday and you insult me." he shook his head.

Crossing my arms over my chest I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Oh and now your Mr. Sensitive?" I asked trying my best not to laugh at his stupid expression.

Ella grabbed a spatula and smacked him across the back with it, "Okay birthday boy get out of my kitchen and go find something to do!" she pointed at the door with the spatula as he turned to face her. "I don't want to hear it! Unless your going to help you will be in my way. So if you stay you help!" She raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly.

"Just let us know when dinner is done!" He said grabbing my hand and quickly walking out of the kitchen. I could hear her laughing as the he pulled my into the living room. "I hate cooking." he sat down on the couch and pulled me with him into his lap.

I quickly moved out of his lap and sat down next to him, "Are you an idiot?" I hissed looked at the kitchen. I knew Paul really didn't care if his mother saw us like that I wouldn't care if my mom did but with it being the other way around I wasn't exactly comfortable with it. "Your mom is right in there! So behave!"

Paul rolled his eyes and leaned over kissing me, "You are never like this when we are at your house." he mumbled against my lips.

I put my hands against his chest and pulled away slightly, "Yes, because that's my mother, this is your mother. Totally different!" he shook his head and kissed me again.

My eyes flashed to the kitchen as he pulled away, "She knows we kiss, and she thinks we have done more." My mouth fell open and I shook my head. "It's not like I haven't tried telling her that we've never done anything like that, but she doesn't listen."

"Maybe if you hadn't fucked every other slut you've been with!" I snapped. As soon as I said it I covered my mouth, I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped out. His smile faded and he clenched his jaw, I grabbed his arm but he pulled away from me and stood up. "Paul I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that!" Jumping off the couch I reached out but he shook his head.

"That's what you think?" I flinched at the harsh tone of his voice. I opened my mouth but closed it, I couldn't lie to him. I had thought it for a while but I would never say it. "I thought so." he muttered walking down the hall towards his room slamming the door.

Groaning I quickly followed him down the hall and into his room closing the door behind me. "Paul I said I was sorry!" I almost yelled looking at him as he stood in the middle of his room.

He turned to look at me and shook his head, "No, sorry doesn't stop how you think of me!" the look on his face wasn't only of anger, there was obvious hurt and pain in his eyes. "I can't believe you actually think what they all say is true!" he was yelling now and I was sure Ella heard everything he was saying. "For your information, just because I went out with a girl didn't mean I fucked her Alani!" I flinched, he didn't use my full name unless he was angry.

I closed my eyes and let out a sigh, "Well what am suppose to believe Paul?" I did my best to keep my voice down but as he glared at me I was finding it harder and harder. "When a teacher catches us kissing or to close then they always say something, if it's like the first time and that you haven't been caught like that in a while or how they are surprised I'm still around!" I shook my head and ran my hands through my hair.

As a harsh laugh came from him I opened my eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Was I your first kiss Alani?" he asked with a scowl. Rolling my eyes I shook my head, "No I wasn't you've kissed a few guys before me. So did you fuck all of them?" a slight smirk came to his face.

I frowned and glared at him, "You know damn well that I am a virgin!" I hissed. Why the hell was he bringing this up, he knew that I hadn't done anything before.

"Exactly, just because you kiss someone doesn't mean you slept with them!" I opened my mouth and closed it frowning. "Right, I was caught kissing them, not having sex with them!" I opened my mouth and closed it as I looked at his face. His anger had faded and only hurt was left. "I've been with more than one girl I'll admit that but I know I have been with less than you think." I sighed and looked down.

He sat down on the bed and shook his head running his hands through his hair. I sat down next to him and leaned my head on his arm slowly expecting him to pull away. When he didn't move I let out a deep sigh. "Paul I'm really sorry, I know it doesn't change what I said but... I'm still sorry. You've never told me anything so all I know is what I hear." Paul grabbed my closed hand opening it putting it in front of my face.

"Five." I nodded as I understood what he was telling me. "That's it... I know it's a lot but less than you thought..." that was true, I didn't really have a number in my mind but five seemed small compared to the ones in my mind. "I can't change that... but If I could somehow I would..."

I smiled slightly and wrapped my arms around his neck as a small smile came to my face. "I wouldn't want you to change anything Paul." I sighed as his warm hands made their way up to my waist. "I just hate thinking of you with other girls, no matter how stupid it seems, that's what I think" admitting this let a weight off of my chest

"Stupid?" he pulled away from me. "It's not stupid, the thought of another man touching you." he shook his head and sighed, "I hate it, honestly I can't stand it. Your suppose to be mine alone, but I can't control what happened before." Paul closed his eyes, "If I was in your position then I know I would feel the same as you."

No words came to mind, this was Paul's way of telling me that I was right. Hearing him say that changed that I felt bad, I wasn't the only one who had those issues. Of course now that I thought about it, Paul got jealous easily. It bothered me at times but other times I didn't pay any attention to it. I knew I had problem's with jealously issues as well, they had gotten a little better after I fully accepted the whole imprinting thing but there were still times when I got jealous.

I berried my face in his chest as his warm arms wrapped around me once more. "I'm sorry." I muttered against his chest as I felt him chuckle slightly and pulled away looking at him.

Paul was smiling slightly, "You don't have anything to be sorry for." he looked over at the clock on his dresser and sighed lightly, "But we do need to go and eat with my mother before she get mad at me." he quickly kissed me before grabbing my hand and pulling me out of his room.

The smile came back to my face as I followed him out of his room, "You act like your the only one she will get mad at." I knew what he was going to say and I knew it was true but it wasn't fair for Paul.

Loud laughter spilled out of his lips as he looked down at me, "You can do no wrong in her eyes I have told you this." I rolled my eyes getting the answer I knew I was going to get. When we walked into the kitchen where Ella was setting out plates she gave Paul the motherly "your-in-trouble" look as she smiled at me sadly.

As I sat down looking at her something told me that she knew what Paul and I had fought over. "Okay Fried Chicken is what I made." Paul looked at me grinning as Ella spoke. I rolled my eyes looking away from him.

As she gave Paul and I our plates I shook my head at the amount of food on his plate. No matter how many times I had seen it before I still had to marvel at how much he had and would eat. "Thank you Ella." I said pulling my plate towards me.

"Your welcome sweetheart." she smiled and sat down across from Paul. I ate in silence looking at Paul and Ella any time they would talk. I was afraid if I was to say anything I would say something wrong again. It was Paul's birthday and I didn't want to ruin anything more than what I already had.

I heard Ella clear her throat and looked up to see her looking at me with her eyebrows pulled together. "Are you okay Alani? Your not very talkative tonight..." the concern was evident in her voice.

I did my best to put on a fake smile and shook my head, "I'm just not feeling very well, sorry." I felt Paul's eyes on me and despite my better judgment I looked over at him. He knew I was lying, it was written all over his face. He let out a sigh and I looked back down at my food. "Sorry..." I muttered quietly knowing Paul would hear me.

When dinner was finished I offered to clean up but Ella of course shooed me away. It was like Paul said, I wasn't allowed to lift a finger unless it was absolutely necessary with her. I wanted to argue with her and at least help her anyway but both Paul and I knew she would never let that happen. As soon as Ella turned to do the dishes I was practically dragged out of the kitchen.

Paul sat down on the couch and looked at me, "Why are you really not talking?" he asked grabbing my hand. I knew he was being sweeter than usual because of the fight we had before dinner. My eyes refused to meet his, I was going to keep up my lie until it was utterly impossible not to have it. "Alani?" He didn't like it when I didn't tell him things he wanted to know.

"I told you and your mom at dinner Paul." I muttered moving my fingers around that were being held by his. He scoffed and my eyes went to his face, he knew me better than to believe that. We looked at each other for a few minutes, his look simply meant talk, while mine meant no. No words were needed for this silent argument we were having. Finally I gave in and looked away from him with a deep sigh. "I don't want to mess up and say something else wrong."

Paul reached over and grabbed my other arm and turned me to face him. "That's all over, why are you still worried about that?"

Shaking my head I tried to pull my hands away from his though he held tight. "It's not that. I want to make sure I don't say anything else to cause a problem." I raised my eyebrows as I looked down at him waiting for him to say something and make sure he understood what I said this time.

Suddenly Paul wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled me down into his lap. I sat there wide eyed as he rested his forehead on my shoulder. "You shouldn't have to watch what you say, I hate it when your quiet like this. It's not you at all." He took his head off my shoulder, "Just say whatever you feel like saying. I'm not going to lose my temper this time I promise." lightly he kissed my cheek.

A smile came to my face as he spoke, "I love you." he laughed before kissing me. "Why are you laughing at me?" I pushed against his chest as I pulled away from him.

The grin I loved was back on his face, "I tell you that you can say anything in the world and that's what you chose." I nodded as he leaned up kissing me.

I pulled away from him smiling, "Well that's what was on my mind. How I love you more than anything." he chuckled slightly and kissed my chin before gently pushing me off his lap.

I pulled my eyebrows together when his mother came in cursing under her breath. "What's wrong mom?" Paul asked leaning back against the couch.

Ella picked up her purse shoving things into it, "Oh the ditz has a headache and can't come into work so I have to go in for her until nine in the morning!" I smiled slightly, the times I had heard her talk about the "Ditz" were to many to count. I wasn't even sure what her real name was. All Ella ever called her was ditz or stupid. "I'm sorry Paul, I know it's your birthday but you need sleep anyway." letting out a sigh she rubbed her temples. "Take Alani home before midnight please?"

Paul nodded with a frown as Ella walked out of the house. "My mother works to hard." He reached over grabbing my hand and pulled me to him once again. Nodding I laced my fingers with his, "If I didn't have patrols I would go work there." I smiled slightly as a mental picture of Paul working with his mother.

I kissed his forehead looking over at the clock, "Babe it's 11:45, you should go ahead and take me home." I went to stand up but I was pulled down before I could even move.

"I'm not, I should but I'm not." I rolled my eyes, I wasn't in the mood to argue with him for five minutes before he finally got up or let me get up.

Once again I tried to get up but he still held me, "Your mother said to take me home before midnight, that's in 15 minutes." I crossed my arms over my chest waiting for his response.

He looked deep in thought for a moment, "My mother isn't here." he pressed his lips to my shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "You should stay with me tonight." he muttered against my shoulder.

I shook my head as he began to move his lips up my neck lightly nipping at the spots he knew drove me wild. "Pa..." my words were stopped as his lips suddenly met mine. He pulled my body closer to his keeping me held to him.

Paul put his forehead against mine, "Will you stay?" he asked licking his lips slowly. I bit my lip as I looked at him. Lust was plain as day in his eyes. There was no doubt in my mind what would happen if I stayed. I wouldn't be able to tell him no if I chose to stay with him. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to leave...

Unable to speak I swallowed hard as I nodded my head slowly. With out a word from him he stood up pulling me with him as he pulled me towards the bedroom.
