Chapter twenty-five: Talking things out with Paul
Paul's P.O.V.
The guys had told me everything, well told, they showed me how...Patrick, the bastard admitted that he forced her to kiss him. All I wanted to do was go over to his house and beat the hell out of him, but I knew that Janay would hate me for that so I decided to think about everything the guys had said and then pay a visit to Janay. I really missed her and she must've been miserable because I sure was. The imprint made it harder for us to be apart.
That's how I ended up in front of her house, debating whether I should ring the bell or not. Of course I should ring the bell. We had to work these problems out, because I didn't want to live with this feeling. Before I rang the bell, I took a deep breath. If I was lucky, she wouldn't be mad at me for walking out on her, but I knew she kind of had a temper so this might go not so easy as I think it was going to be. As I waited for her to open the door, I knew she was going to open it because I didn't hear her parents inside, I heard quick footsteps coming down the stairs. Then I heard her breath hitch as she opened the door and she breathed out my name.
''Janay'' I whispered. Her eyes started to water and I studied her for a moment. She had bags under her eyes, looked a little paler than usual and had a sad look on her face. ''Can we talk?'' I asked. She nodded and let me inside. I followed her towards the living room and sat down next to her on the couch. ''You came back'' she said surprised. I raised my eyebrows. Did she think I wouldn't come back to her? How could she think that? I'd never be able to live without her. That wasn't even possible in my imagination. ''Of course. I told you I would. It just took some time'' I explained. She looked up at me with her beautiful eyes that were full of sadness. I slowly inched my hand towards hers and grabbed it, feeling how cold it was. As I engulfed it with my big hand, it immediately started to warm up. I grabbed her other hand too and warmed that one the same way.
''So, a-are you still mad?'' she asked with a puzzeled look on her face. My eyes almost popped out of my head. Me mad at her? I could never be mad at her. Actually, I expected her to be mad at me, but she thought I was mad at her?! Never! ''No! I was never mad at you. I was just upset. Just know that I don't blame you for any of this. The only person I'm mad at is...Patrick'' I said spatting his name. She flinced at his name and a shiver went through my spine. I didn't want to lose control here so I better had to calm down before bad things happened. ''Really? Not mad at me? I thought that...everybody at school...'' she said quietly. I frowned. What was it with the people at school? Did they hurt her? Because if they did...no one had the right to be mad at her because they didn't even know the whole truth. ''What about everybody at school? Did they hurt you?'' I asked staring deeply into her eyes. I could immediately tell whether she was lying or not. She bit her lip, something that always drove me crazy, but right now I wanted to know what bothered her. ''Well, they think I cheated on you. They're whispering behind my back and no one even speaks to me. Well apart from the guys then'' she admitted. That absolutely made my blood boil. They left her out because of some stupid revenche action? People were just so stupid to believe everything! If anyone was mean to her in my presence, they would feel my anger.
''Don't worry. They won't bother you anymore. Soon enough they'll find out the truth and it won't be nice for Patrick at all'' I said, thinking about the thought of humiliating him in front all the people at school. He'd never be confident to show his face every again. ''Thank you Paul. And...what about us now? Where do we stand? Because I understand if you're done with me'' she whispered. My jaw dropped. ''Where do we stand? I could never be done with you Janay. The question is, do you still want to be with ME?'' I asked. Thought raced through my head. She needed to say yes, I wanted to, I needed her to say yes. I wouldn't know what to do if she said no. She couldn't do that to me. Not after all that we've been through together. ''M-me? Of course I still want to be with you'' she said. I smiled the biggest smile that I'd ever smiled and pulled her close to me. ''You can't believe how happy you just made me'' I breathed out. She smiled sweetly at me. ''Can we promise from now on, we'll tell each other everything? And listen to it too?'' she asked. ''Sure, that sounds good'' I said.
Her eyes sparkled with joy and I felt her excitement. Right then, she must've really realized I wasn't wearing a shirt because her eyes lingered on my upper body and I smirked. She definitely liked what she saw. When her eyes made found mine again, she blushed because she got that I caught her staring. She bit her lip again and this time it really drove me nuts, even to the point where I got a little bit 'too excited' if you know what I mean. She didn't notice it yet, but still she was looking up at me with those tempting eyes. I quickly pressed my lips to hers and cupped her soft face. She placed her hands on my chest and I had to contain a growl. I lifter her up and placed in my lap, which made her gasp. It gave me the oppertunity to slip my tongue inside her mouth and that's when I smelled her. She wanted me too! But I didn't want to push her. I didn't know if she'd ever had sex with someone, but it still made me sick at the thought of thinking about her with someone else.
Our make out session got heated, to the point where she asked me to take her upstairs into her room. She assured me her parents wouldn't be home for a while so we were safe. I was feeling a bit unsure about this. Did she really want this? We kind of had an argument so wasn't this going to fast? ''Janay? You sure? We don't have to rush this'' I asked. She nodded. ''Yes I know, but I want to. I trust you Paul'' she whispered. I smiled and kissed her, beginning to take our clothes off.
...
Janay's P.O.V.
I smiled a little at what had happened. This was my first time and it was with Paul Lahote! Never had I thought that we would ever be that intimate with him. It was painful, but nice. He was so sweet, that it was almost not possible for him to be Paul. He'd really changed and I liked that. God, I really couldn't stop smiling. Paul had left about an hour ago and thoughts of our intimate moment raced through my head, making me relive the moment.
Not much later, I heard the door open and shut. That must be my parents. Now that everything was alright with Paul, I still had a lot of things to take care of. Ange was still not talking to me, mom was still ignoring me, well sort of and dad was kind of the same as mom. No idea how I was going to make that right. But at least now I had Paul to support me. Currently I was lying in my bed and tried to get some sleep before school tomorrow. I wasn't feeling anxious to go to school tomorrow. Paul promised that he would be there too then so at least people could see everything was alright between Paul and I again. Maybe then they would accept me for who I am and realize it wasn't my fault but Patrick's. Hearing Paul's voice when he talked about him, I just knew that if he ever saw Patrick, something bad would happen. In some way I wanted Patrick to pay for what he'd done, but on the other side, I didn't want him to get beat up by Paul either. Yes, I may hate him, but that doesn't mean that I don't have a heart. Putting all those thoughts away, I closed my eyes. It looked like life was already a little bit easier for me now because I had Paul with me.
The next day, just as all those other days, I went to school by bus. The people who sat behind me still whispered and talked about me, but I'd gotten used to it, so it didn't really faze me anymore. As I stepped out of the bus, I looked around for Paul. He wasn't there yet but I decided to go in already. He might be there already. When I walked inside the school, everyone started whispering. Almost like they knew something. At this moment I really didn't care. Paul was going to be with me today and I wasn't going to be all alone anymore. They could think what they want, but the most important thing was that Paul and I were back together. technically we hadn't broken up with, but that didn't mean that it felt like we had.
I worried for a moment when I didn't spot Paul at his locker so I put everything I didn't need in my locker first. Maybe he'd changed his mind and wasn't going to come. He wouldn't do that right? He promised he would come to school and I just knew that Paul was never one to break promises. Alex did. I shook my head. Why was I thinking about Alex again? He wasn't a part of my life anymore. Of course I still cared about him, but not really in THAT way. Paul was the one for me now and I had a feeling that it was going to last for a while, not that I minded.
When I felt a warm hand on my arm, I jumped about a feet into the air. ''Calm down, it's just me'' Paul's voice said into my ear. Letting out a sigh of relieve, I turned around. ''You came'' I said happily. He grinned and wrapped his arms around my waist. ''Of course I came. I promised you I would'' he said. ''I know, never mind'' I said. He put his fingers under my chin and gave me a sweet kiss. That's when I realized that the whole hall had been staring at us, only Paul didn't seem to mind since he was focused on me. How could he not have noticed all those people watching us? Alright I didn't either but I certainly did now. I saw as they all started whispering to each other and some even had their mouths open. ''You do know that everybody is watching us right?'' I asked Paul as he grabbed my hand. He looked around and scowled, scaring some people who immediately took a step back. ''Let them'' he said and I swear I heard him say 'fucking assholes'. ''Don't swear like that Paul'' I warned him. He looked guilty and then blushed. ''Shit, I mean crap, no! Never mind. Just didn't think you'd hear that'' he said, which made me giggle. ''You're so funny and crazy, but I do love you'' I said squeezing his warm, big hand. ''I love you too, very much'' he smiled. Damn he was so cute!
At lunch, I sat with the guys. They were all really nice to me and I was happy I could at least talk to someone. The whole day people stared at me and Paul, whispering about us and it annoyed the hell out of me. Didn't they have other things to do? During lunch, I looked over at the right to see Ange sitting with the popular girls of the school. She looked happy as she talked and laughed with them and it made me realize how much I actually missed her. I could always tell her everything and laugh about everything with her, but she chose to share all of those things with other girls, whom she'd hated for about her whole life. Embry placed his hand on my shoulder. ''You alright?'' he asked. Paul was immediately alarmed and I nodded. ''Yeah just tired'' I said. He nodded. No way that I was going to tell them that I felt miserable about my live being incomplete without Ange in it. I just didn't get how she could just walk out of my life like that. Did she even keep my phone number in her phone? That was one thing I wondered. Giving one last look to their table, I turned back to my food and mingled myself into the conversation with the guys.
Luckily that day, Patrick decided to stay home. That was really a thing I didn't need. Paul trying to murder him on his first day back. It wasn't exactly a fun day, but I felt happier than I'd felt for the past week. After school, Paul asked me to meet his mother. My heart stopped beating for a second, at least that was how it felt. Meeting his mom? What if she wasn't going to like me? Maybe she'd heard things about me or was mad at me because her son ran away from home for a few days. But Paul being Paul convinced me to meet her. I sent a little text to my mom, saying I would be home before dinner but didn't recieve anything back from her. Of course, she was still ignoring me.
Paul's house, was a cute average house. It had a nice garden with all kinds of flowers and a porch with a swing on it. ''You have a nice house'' I said as Paul helped me out of his truck. He smiled. ''Thanks, I'm glad you like it. It isn't much but it's home'' he said. ''It doesn't need to be much Paul. I love it'' I said hugging his arm. He pulled me to his side and led me towards his house. Suddenly, I started to become very nervous. I wanted his mom to like me but I really didn't know how this was going to go. ''It'll be okay. She'll like you, I know that'' he assured me before opening the door.
Paul walked into the kitchen, me following behind him and I heard the sound of skillets clanging against each other. ''Paul? Oh who's this?'' she asked curiously as she saw me behind Paul. His mom looked surpisely young and had a friendly look on her face. She was short, unlike Paul who was like a giant. She did have the same hair colour as him, only her hair was longer. Paul grabbed my hand and placed me next to him. ''Mom, this is Janay'' he said proudly. His mom smiled so big, I thought her face was going to crack. ''Oh it's you! Finally, I've been dying to meet you. Paul's told me so much about you'' she exclaimed happily. ''He's been talking about me? Uh, nice to meet you too Ms. White'' I said as I blushed when she hugged me tightly, like a real mother would do. She waved me off. ''You can call me Jenna. That makes me feel so old. Come on, let's get you something to drink and eat'' she said. She made me sit down at the kitchen table and Paul sat next to me, giving me a playful wink. His mother was so nice. I really wished mine was like that right now at the moment.
Little footsteps were heard and I looked towards the door as I saw a little girl from around 6 run into the room. That must be Anna. She looked really cute and had beautiful curls that I was jealous of. Her eyes were the same brown as Paul's and I knew she loved him very much. It was immediately confirmed when she ran towards him and held her arms up in the air. He smiled down at her and picked her up. She looked so tiny in his arms, but he was so careful with her like she was going to break. ''Paullie! You're home. Will you play tea party with me?'' she asked with big, asking eyes. ''Not right now Anna, I have someone with me. This is Janay, she's my girlfriend'' he explained. Her eyes fell on me and she studied me for a while. ''You look pretty! Do you and Paul kiss?'' she asked bluntly. A blush crept onto my face and I fumbled with my fingers. Jenna laughed from behind me as she put everything onto the table. Paul was about to say something when his mother gave him a look. ''Watch with what you're saying Paul'' she warned. He smirked. ''Now you're making Janay blush Annie, but yes we do kiss'' Paul said. She looked from Paul to me and then back to Paul. She whispered something into his ear and he smiled. ''You can tell her that'' he whispered. She nodded. ''I like you and I'm happy Paul has found you'' she said with the cutest voice ever. I smiled. ''Well I like you too Anna and you're very cute'' I said.
Jenna joined us at the table and started asking me all kinds of questions, but luckily she didn't ask me anything about Alex because I just knew she was aware of that situation. All in all, I really liked his mom and she liked me too, his little sister too. This had turned out better than I thought and that made my day already a lot better.
