Chapter 27

3 Month Anniversary

BPOV

I can't believe that I've been dating Paul for 3months!

We have been drama free since the whole Edward fiasco, I was back on talking terms with Emmett, Rose, a little, she admitted that Jasper told her to be nice to me and her and Emmett actually fought over me a few times, but at least she was talking to me.

School was great, I had straight A's and worked my ass off. I went to all of Paul's practices and games, I was his own cheering section, Edward would look at me once in a while, but longingly, not hateful, his dad had threatened to bring him home and make him go to U of W if he didn't straighten his act up and he had to take anger management courses and said if he ever laid a hand on me again, he would personally have him thrown in jail. Emmett had came and beat the shit out of him and he had actually wrote me a nice apology letter, I didn't let Paul read it, but he knew about it and he was fine with that.

Paul had a surprise for me tonight, so I was getting ready while talking to Tyler, Felix was hardly home anymore, with mid-terms starting, he had even harder ones, seeing as he majored in Law.

Paul had told Tyler where we were going and Tyler helped me shop, I had picked out a black micro-mini that Tyler said would be perfect and 3 inch heels. The dress was strapless and very short and tight, hugging every curve, he said Paul would have an instant boner, I laughed, that is the one thing that Paul and I hadn't done yet, I was willing, but lately we never had any time.

Paul picked me up at 7:00p.m. and smiled widely "Bella, you look, amazing, fantastic, beautiful, WOW!" he smiled. We headed to a fancy, exclusive bistro. It was very intimate, only having a dozen tables inside, each one private. We were sat in the far back booth, soft candlelight flickered around the table. "Paul this is wonderful, you didn't have to go through all this expenses, Olive Garden is more than enough." I smiled and he knew I was truthful, I always wanted to eat breadsticks and marinara sauce. "Bells, you know I love to spoil you, so please, I don't do it often, let me do it tonight." he smiled and kissed me.

We ate our salads and talked while waiting for our main course. He smiled at me and handed me a present, "Paul!" I tried to protest, but he wouldn't hear of it. I opened it up and there was a huge tennis bracelet inside. Paul, I can't, no…" he stopped me with a passionate kiss. I was almost on his lap when the waiter appeared and with our food, clearing his throat to get our attention. "Bella, you will take this! I want you to have it." he smiled and put it on my arm. It was classic and beautiful.

We finished dinner and he headed to a bed and breakfast. "Um, Paul. We have no clothes." I smiled at him, he gave me a wicked grin "I had Tyler pack you a bag." he smiled at me. "Your brother went through my panty drawer." I gasped. Paul blushed and looked down, pulling a box out from his backseat. "I called Alice and asked for your measurements and went and bought you some new things, I hope you don't mind. I've never, ever done this before, so I was quite embarrassed walking in and asking for help, but I guess I'm not the only boyfriend who's done this, so they were very helpful. I hope you like them." He held the box towards me. "Um, thanks, can I open these inside?" I asked blushing. "Oh, yes, I want to see your expression and these are things I thought would look good, so if you don't like them, you won't hurt my feelings, I swear." Paul blushed. He walked around and helped me out of his truck and grabbed our bags.

"Oh and no, Tyler didn't go through your underwear drawers, at least he better not have." he smiled and kissed my cheek.

We checked in and the lady led us to our room. The fireplace was going and set off a beautiful hue in the room. There was a balcony they looked over a pond and the room was done in antique French furniture, it was exquisite. It was all neutral colors with the exceptions of red tulips everywhere. There was a bottle of wine chilling and a huge fruit bouquet, half of it covered in chocolate and vanilla and lavender candles all over the room and a glow from the bathroom suggests they were there too.

Paul sat our bags down and turned on the radio, it was set on a classical station, which really set the mood.

Paul pulled me in front of the fire and we sat on the fluffy rug. He nudged the box in my hands, that I'd totally forgotten about when I saw the room. I pulled the red bow off and there was a sea of tissue paper. I'm guessing every piece was wrapped separately. I pulled out the first piece, hands shaking and it was a pair of purple and white striped boy shorts, the piece underneath was the matching bra. I smiled and went on, next was a pair of black silk boy shorts and matching bra, a pair of red lace boy shorts and matching bra, next a long silk nightie in a deep pink and matching bikini underwear, the last piece was a black and red teddy, it was satin with matching bikini underwear and robe. I was smiling and Paul was returning it and he added blush. "The last is my personal favorite." he looked up at me and smiled.

"Would you like to take a bubble bath? I had them bring in several scents, I didn't know what all you liked?" Paul was rambling on, he was nervous and it was so sweet, I was nervous too, but I've never seen a guy like this, it was very endearing. "Did they put lavender scent in there?" I asked.

"Um, yes I requested that one." he smiled. "I'd love a bubble bath then." I smiled. Paul disappeared into the bathroom and I heard the water running. I grabbed my box of goodies and brought them in, sitting them on the counter. "Would you like a glass of wine, Bella?" Paul asked. "Yes, that would be great to relax with, thank you." I smiled. He disappeared again and I quickly slipped out of my clothes and into the tub, Paul walked back in and blushed, "Oh, sorry, I didn't know…" I stopped him "Would you like to join me?" I winked at him. "Only if you're comfortable with it." he smiled. See, Paul and I had fooled around a lot, but never actually have had sex or even touched each others nether regions, he's only groped my breasts with my shirt on. He was very respectful. "I'll close my eyes." I smiled. He swallowed hard and I knew I wanted to take our relationship to the next level. I closed my eyes and I heard him breathing rather hard and slowly get into the tub. "You can open now." he smiled as the bubbles danced around us.

He'd brought himself a glass of wine as well, so I crawled over to him in the tub and sat between his legs, my back to his chest, I instantly felt his erection. His arms snaked around my stomach and I turned my neck to kiss him. "Sorry about.." he blushed and buried his head in the creek of my neck. "Paul, I'd worry if I didn't feel it." I smiled and winked again. He leaned down and started kissing my neck, shoulders and mouth. "I say we take this to the room, it's kind of complicated in here. You go first and I'll be out in a few." I smiled and closed my eyes again. I heard the door shut, I quickly got out and dried off, found the lavender lotion and smoothed it on, fluffed my hair and put on the black and red teddy that Paul had bought.

I walked out and he had our glassed filled and the fruit on the bed, when he heard the door open, his head snapped up and looked at me. "Bella" was all he could say. He got off the bed and walked to me, twisting his fingers in my hair and pulling me in for the deepest most wonderful kiss I'd ever had. We slowly walked backwards towards the bed, I stopped and crawled into the middle, by the fruit and Paul sat in front of me, we fed each other a few pieces of fruit and drank our wine, no talking just looking and smiling and touching our hands, to each others faces, lips and hands.

When I declared I couldn't eat or drink another bite, Paul took the tray and put it on the small table in the corner. When he got up, I saw he only had a towel on, how had on not noticed that! Stupid Me!!! Paul sat back down and leaned in to kiss me. It became heated very quickly, I took off my robe and Paul mumbled "Fuck!" and then "Sorry" afterwards. I smiled and told him no apologies allowed tonight, I wanted to give myself to him, to be with him in everyway, right now.

He pushed me on the bed and looked to make sure I wasn't scared or upset. I just pulled him in tighter. "May I?" he asked as he proceeded to untie the teddy on me. "Why, yes you may." I smiled and giggled. When he untied it, he looked like he was going to faint. He immediately took my breasts into his mouth and kissed and nipped at them, I was craving friction, so I pulled him down closer. I pulled his towel off and he gasped, I ginned wickedly. It wasn't like we were virgins, it was just our first time together. "Bella, you are so beautiful, I don't want to ruin anything between us, I Love You." he smiled and I heard all I needed to hear "I Love You too Paul." and then things got crazy, it wasn't soft and sensual, it was lustful and eager. He ripped the panties off and I gasped. "I'll buy you new ones if you're so attached." he winked.

The rest of the night was spent making love and sex, pure, crazy, sex!!! Paul rocked my world, over and over, several times. It was amazing. I couldn't get how much I'd been missing. Maybe it's because there wasn't all the drama in the way, we could or mostly I could relax and live. We had a fantastic weekend and it really brought us closer together. He'd asked me to move in with him, I told him not yet, I couldn't live with him and his brothers, but maybe soon we could get our own place. He smiled at that thought and was really O.K. with it, we spent most of our time together, it's not like I don't have things at his place and vice-versa, everything was going perfectly and I asked him to come with me for Thanksgiving to meet my parents and he agreed if we spent Christmas and New Years with his. I agreed and was very nervous, they were NYC elite and I was from a middle class family who's parents were divorced. Paul assured me his parents really wanted to meet me and that his family wasn't snobby, except when needed. He also said I'd need a few nice dresses to wear and he'd take me shopping for those, once in NYC.

I couldn't wait, two more months and I'd take Bella to meet my parents and one more month until I met hers.

We were making everyone around us gag, we were so in love and rarely fought. Our biggest fight had been a few weeks ago and it was because I got upset she was wearing one of Edward's old t-shirts. She swore it was nothing, it was just big and comfy and she only wore it when she cleaned or bummed around the house and we were actually bumming around having a pig out movie day. I got all jealous when I saw his name on her, I begged her to take my shirt, it would be just as big. She refused saying this one was 'broken' in. I got upset and walked out. After I went home and talked to Tyler and Chris, they told me I was being a jerk. I went bag to Bella's and when she opened the door, her eyes were red and puffy and she had taken the shirt off and it was in her hand, the fireplace was going and she told me she was going to burn it, because she didn't want to fight with me. I told her it was O.K., I was being an ass and she should keep the shirt, it was part of her past, but asked if she'd not wear it around me and I brought her several of my shirts, they would be big enough on her and were well worn in. She took her shirt off and lunged onto me, we ended up having the hottest makeup sex ever, I'm sure.

We just had so many things in common, but were different enough that it didn't cause many tiffs.

This Friday was our last football game and if we won, we went to playoffs. Bella was so excited.

Before each game, we had our little sexual ritual. And let me say, it always left me wanting more after the game, she'd surprise me every week with new lingerie after the game, I'd opened an account for her at Victoria's Secret and Fredrick's and she actually didn't complain, she'd go in weekly and buy something new and if we won, I got to see it, if not, I didn't, let me tell you, my guys got the best pep talk ever. Edward surprisingly even listened to me, even though they had no idea why I wanted to win so bad, screw state, I wanted Bella in sexy lingerie. And she promised if we won state, she'd get something extra special for me.

Friday was here and Bella was in her skinny jeans, my practice jersey and Converse, hair in ponytail as always, sitting front row, in front of the bench, tonight she even had my number painted on the side of her face. I jogged over to the seats where she was at and she leaned over and kissed me, really kissed me, Tyler and Felix were making gagging noises at us, she blushed and whispered the colors of tonight's outfit, they were pink and white, I groaned and told her she better be able to pay up after the game. The coach yelled for me and the game begin, of course I always got daggers from Edward after our kiss, but he never acted on it, because from what Bella said, his dad wouldn't give him a second chance for what he did.

Needless to say, we won and when we got back to my place, Bella came out in a naughty candy striper outfit, she had on white fishnet thigh-highs, pink heals and her hair in pig-tails when she walked out of my bathroom, I groaned and attacked her, she giggled as always and told me she'd give me a sponge bath if I wanted. I told her I'd settle for hot sex in the shower and she agreed. God I loved her!

BPOV

It was the week before Thanksgiving and tonight was playoff's, I had a special outfit prepared for tonight.

I was going to actually be his nurse tonight. A few weeks ago I was a candy striper and he about died. This will push him over. God I love Fredrick's.

I knew he'd go out with the team after, so I'd be waiting on his bed for him. Girlfriends didn't go with their guys after state win, it was some sort of unwritten rule, I think because most of them didn't have girlfriends was the real reason.

I put on my usual attire for the game and went through the regular kissing before the game and telling him that tonight's colors were red and white and put the candy striper to shame, he groaned as usual and jogged to the field, adjusting himself and Tyler and Felix laughing at what I'd done to him.

They of course won, even though it was close for a while. He kissed me before he left with his team and said he wouldn't be long.

When he finally arrived home, I was right. I didn't even get to stand up, he ripped it off me and ravished me all night. God I loved him!!!

BPOV

Paul and I were flying into Washington to spend Thanksgiving with my dad and his girlfriend Sue Clearwater. We arrived in Port Angeles, rented a car and drove to Forks. He couldn't believe how green and wet it was. I laughed, because I thought the same thing when I first came back to visit.

We arrived at my house and my dad answered the door, he pulled me into a big hug and kissed my head, "This must be Paul." he smiled, my dad knew how happy I was and how much I cared for him, he shook his hand and told him to call him Charlie, Paul really won brownie points when he told Charlie he'd gotten tickets to some football game in Seattle on Monday, seeing as though it was Saturday afternoon, Charlie couldn't wait. They walked in with the bags and Charlie actually let him put his stuff in my room.

We sat around and talked for a while and then dad said he had something to tell me and got all serious.

"CarlisleandEsmeinvitedusforThanksgivingandIkindof ccepted." he yelled out. Paul was looking at me when my mouth popped open "Dad, no! You didn't!!!" I yelled.

"Bells, they've really helped me out a lot this year with you being gone, Esme brings me dinner a few nights a week, when she knows Sue is working overnight and we've just become close." he smiled. "I hope it won't be awkward since you and Edward are broke up and Jasper will be there too." my dad hung his head. "Bells, I'm sorry. I made these plans before I knew you were bringing Paul and then I knew if I told you, you wouldn't come home and I needed to see my baby." he smiled at me.

I saw the look of worry on Paul's face and asked dad to excuse us, we were going to take a walk.

We got in my car and drove to La Push, it would be dead this time of year and I needed to reassure Paul that everything was fine.

We got out and bundled up, it was cold as shit on the beach.

"Paul, I understand if you want to fly to NYC and be with your family instead. I know you don't want to be around 2 of my ex's on Thanksgiving." I didn't look at him in the eyes. He stopped and lifted my chin up to look at him. "Bella, I love you! I don't care about Edward or any others. I want to be with you and if that means sharing you, than I will." he smiled and kissed me. "But, it'll be his entire family and his parents LOVE ME!!! I feel guilty." putting my head down. "Bella. .ME!" Paul raised his voice, but not yelling. "Alice is your friend, right? So of course her parents love you. You were her friend first, you've camped with them for years and spent every free moment with Alice there when in school, I am fine! Stop worrying." This time he cupped my face and kissed me gently, but urgently. We stopped and sat on the famous log and we were just watching the waves, with my head on his shoulder. All of a sudden, my name is being yelled half way down the beach and 3 guys running towards me, I groaned. "Shit!" I mumbled.

"What now?" Paul asked chuckling. "Bella's other fan club of ex's." he laughed again. He looked down at me and saw the look on my face. "Shit, Bells, I was joking. I guess they know a good thing when they see it." he laughed. I poked him in the ribs and told him to shut it. The guys got up close and we stood up.

"Jacob, Quill, Embry." I smiled. Jacob ran over to me and picked me up, spinning me around, not caring that there's someone there with me. "I've missed you so much Bells. It's been way to long. Since you graduated, I think and then I didn't even get to talk to you." Jacob smiled and kissed my cheek, that was enough for Paul. "Put her down!" he stated firmly. He was bigger than Jake by a few inches and pounds.

"Who are you?" Jake asked. "Paul, Bella's boyfriend." she smiled and held out his hand. Jake shook it and smiled, "Well, you've got a great woman, I was stupid to fuck things up." he smiled. "Yes, I am very lucky. I love Bella a lot." Paul smiled. I could see Jake was pissed over that revelation. "How long have you 2 been dating?" Jake asked. "Almost 6 months" Paul replied. Jake smirked and hugged me again "Have a good Thanksgiving Bells." And they walked away.

"WOW! He's pretty intense. Isn't he?" Paul smiled. "Yeah, he was my summer fling. When I'd come to visit my dad and we'd go camping with the Cullen's." I frowned. "Babe, it's O.K. I'm with you and I'm not going anywhere." he kissed me and walked me back to the car.

We got back home and dad was ordering pizza, I let him know Thanksgiving was going to be fine.

They settled in to watch a game after dinner, I went to my room and called Alice, praying she was coming home for Thanksgiving. "Bella!!!!! OMG! I've missed you so much, we haven't talked since the Edward thing, what's going on?" She squealed. "Well, I'm home for Thanksgiving, you're coming to, right?" I smiled. "Yes! We're all going to be together!" she laughed. "I brought Paul home with me." I said softly. "WHAT!!!!!!!!!! No way!!! Bells, that's great!!! Wait, what about Edward AND Jasper?" she laughed at me. "Damn you pixie! I know we had this talk today and he's fine with it. Is Dmitri with you?" I asked. "Yes! Can you believe it! His family is letting him come, but he has to spend Christmas with them, so we'll be apart for Christmas and New Years." she sighed. "Oh, we went for a walk on La Push and guess who I run into?" I asked her. She started laughing right away. "Bells, he's going to think that you've dated half of Forks." she was hysterical now. "Damn you Alice!" I playfully growled at her. "Look, I've got to go, I'll see you in 2 days. Love Ya Ali!" and hung up.

I walked downstairs and both guys were asleep. I covered my dad up and gently nudged Paul, "Paul, wake up, time for bed." I whispered in his ear. He smiled and grabbed me by the waist and carried me up the stairs. We were good, it was hard, but I vowed not to have sex under my fathers roof. "We're going to have to get a hotel room for a few hours. I need to ravish you." Paul growled into my neck. We finally fell asleep. With me against his bare chest and wearing one of his t-shirts, of course.

We awoke on Sunday and dad left a note he was going fishing with Billy. I decided to show Paul around my quaint town.

I drove him by the school, we ate lunch at the diner and then he saw the sporting goods store. "Let's go in there, I need to see if I can find gifts for my brothers and this way they can get shipped and my mom can wrap them for me. I sighed "This was my first job." I said. Paul started laughing. "You're not into sports. Well, you don't play sports." he smiled. "Fine, we'll go" I sighed again.

We walked through the doors and immediately Mr. Newton recognized me "Bella! We've missed you so much." he gave me a big hug and then I see the top of blond hair walking fast towards his dads voice as he yells for Mike. I grabbed Paul's hand and entwined our fingers. "Bella!" Mike didn't see Paul, he just grabbed me and swung me around. "Damn it Mike! Put me down. I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Paul." I smiled. Mike waved to Paul and kept going, oblivious as always. "Shit, so it's true, No more Jasper or Edward, huh?" he smiled to himself. "See you later Mike." I waved and pulled Paul behind me. "Now you know why I growled?" I smiled. "Another ex?" he laughed and punched him. "NO, he always followed me around school, asking me out, even when I was dating some one." I grimaced.

We shopped around for an hour and he got Tyler a kayak with all the accessories. He bought Chris an archery set that he'd been wanting and he bought some new basketballs and footballs for them to mess around with. When we were finished, we went home for me to cook dinner and I realized that I'd never cooked for Paul. I made sure he liked fish, because that what dad would bring home. He was excited to eat something that I made, I even made a cake from scratch he was amazed. He really enjoyed my cooking and dessert, him and dad retired early, they had to be up an out early to leave for Seattle for the game.

I was still asleep when they left, Paul left me a note and said he loved me and they'd see me later tonight.

I stayed home and cleaned for my dad and relaxed. They returned home late that night and I was in bed, Paul being a gentleman, didn't disturb me.

Finally Thanksgiving arrived, I was in charge of desserts, so I'd made 3 of each pie, 1 being for Emmett alone. There was pumpkin, chocolate, apple and pecan. Paul kept trying to steal bites and I kept slapping his hand.

I was beyond nervous about today. Charlie left early to go get Sue and I wanted to drive separately incase we needed to leave. Paul had on a nice pair of khaki's and a white button down with sleeves rolled up to his elbows. I wore a dress Paul had bought for me a few weeks ago, it was a deep blue, ¾ sleeves, midthigh and cowl neck with a pair of black heels. I left my hair down in curls and light make up. Alice will be proud.

We got to the house, Paul was carrying the pies and I knocked on the door and of course, it was Edward. He looked past me to snarl at Paul, Paul smiled and said "Happy Thanksgiving, Edward." Edward of course had to give me a hug, it was quite awkward. Alice flew down the step and tackled me, making me almost fall. She complimented me on my dress and she hugged Paul.

We went to the kitchen to put everything away. And I introduced Paul to everyone that was there, Emmett, Rose and Dmitri would be in shortly, they were all arriving at the same time, so they'd rent a car and drive here. Jasper should be in a few as well. Esme pulled me and Alice into the kitchen and left Carlisle, Edward and Paul together, I was dying…

Finally everyone arrived and introduced, Dmitri and Paul actually went to Prep school together, I'd meet Dmitri's parents this Christmas as well, he said he'd take us out and about while in NYC as well.

Paul and him broke off to talk for a while and I sat in the living room talking with the family, door bell rang again and I was closest so I got it, I opened the door and it was Jasper. He smiled at me and told me I looked great. He actually had a girl with him, she was a 'dancer' he said. He name was Maria. She was pretty, but looked skanky too. They joined us and we talked until dinner was ready.

Esme had Charlie and Carlisle at the head of the table, then on one side, Dmitri, Alice, Rose, Emmett and Maria the other side had Sue, Paul, Me, Edward, Jasper and Esme. I was nervous all through dinner, I could feel Edward watching me and he kept leaning over to say things to me, trying to be nice. Paul kept rubbing my leg and whispering dirty things in my ear.

Finally dinner was over and the boys went to the basement to play video games and Carlisle and Charlie went to his office for 'man' talk.

We ladies cleaned the kitchen in no time. And retreated to the living room.

We finished dessert and I finally went to get Paul I was tired. I stop at the doorway and listen to the group of 20 somethings, sounding like 5 year olds. Paul and Edward were a team (shock) and Emmett and Jasper, Dmitri didn't like to play, just to watch. I heard Paul and Edward yelling and getting along, I felt better about today.

Finally Paul was ready to go and Edward actually shook his hand and I heard him apologize for everything that had happened. Paul forgave him and we went back to Charlie's, we had to leave too early.

It was the best Thanksgiving I'd ever had.

Now for Christmas.
