CHAPTER 29

The next morning Lilli and Paul said good bye to each other and went their separate ways to work and school. When she got to school Aimee was waiting by her locker for her.

"So your dad will be home tomorrow," she said.

"I know," Anna sighed as she opened her locker and got her books out.

"You're nervous."

"Yes Aimee he doesn't even know I broke up with Brock yet and I have to tell him Brock and I broke up and I have a new boyfriend who's older than me by more than just a year or a few months."

"You're worried he won't like Paul," Aimee said.

"I actually am, I may say I'm not but the truth is I'm so worried he won't like Paul," she admitted. "I really hope he likes him." Anna said as Aimee's cell phone rang.

"Its Jake," she said happily.

"Go on," Anna said smiling.

"See you in class," Aimee said and answered the phone and walked away just as Bella and Edward walked over.

"Hi," Bella said.

"Oh hey Bella, Edward."

"Hey Anna," Edward said. "Anna, I just want to say I hope everything works out with your dad meeting Paul."

"Edward I thought I told you not to read my mind," she said quietly.

"You may have," he said smiling.

"Thanks though," she said. "I think I'm going to need all the luck I can get, I'm not sure how my dad's going to react to Paul."

"Did he like a Brock?" Bella asked.

"I don't think he did or maybe he's never going to like any guy I date no matter who it is," Anna sighed.

"Speaking of Brock has he bothered you anymore?" Edward asked.

"No, I guess he's going to leave me alone," Anna said.

"Guys like him don't just give up," Edward said. "He's used to having and getting everything he wants,," Edward said. "Trust me on this I've been around a very long time and I've seen his type over and
over," he added. "I would think he's planning something and he's going to show up when you least expect it, so be careful ok,"

"Ok," she said.

"If something happened to you Paul would loose it," Bella said. "And we all know how Paul's temper can be, he would probably kill Brock if he did something to you."

"You mean if Sam would let him kill Brock," Anna sighed. "You know how Sam is."

"Yeah I know," Bella said. "Sam is a really good guy."

"Yeah he is," Edward said. "But even Sam has his limits on what he will forbid someone from doing, I think when it comes to protecting the girls he'd let them do just about anything they had to."

"And you think that's wrong?" Anna asked.

"No, I'd kill for Bella to," Edward said quietly. "If someone tried to hurt her. I'd protect her anyway I could." he added. "Just like Paul would do for you."


That night Anna cooked dinner for Paul, he would leave in the morning and she would only get to see him for a few hours on the weekend. Anna made fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and corn
on the cob. When Paul got to Anna's he went to the kitchen.

"Smells good," he said and she smiled. "Its almost done by time you take a shower it should be ready."

"Are you saying I stink?"

"No I'm saying you've been working hard all day and you'll feel better after a shower." Anna told him.

"Ok," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes," he added and went upstairs.

When Paul returned back downstairs Anna had the food sitting on the table for him.

"It looks wonderful," Paul said and Anna smiled.

"Well come and eat," Anna said and Paul walked over and they sat down at the table.

"So how was school?" Paul asked.

"I'm not sure you want to know," she answered quietly and shoved a spoonful of mashed potatoes in her mouth.

"I always want to know how your day went," he said. "Is that ex of yours giving you trouble."

"No I haven't heard from him in weeks," she told him and took a bite of chicken.

"Then what is it?"

"I talked to Edward Cullen today," she told him.

"Oh," Paul said and Anna could tell he was trying to stay calm. "What did he want?" he asked furiously.

"Well he said he hoped everything worked out when you met my dad," she said.

"That was nice of him," he said. "What did you say to him?"

"That I'm probably going to need all the luck I can get," she sighed. "I mean the truth is my dad probably won't like any guy I date no matter if its Brock or you."

"You told Edward Cullen this?" he asked.

"And Bella."

"What did they have to say?"

"Edward asked if Brock had bothered me anymore and I said no I guess he's going to leave me alone."

"What did he have to say to that?" Paul asked angrily

"That guys like him don't just give up, that Brock is used to having and getting everything he wants,," she said. "Edward said he's been around a very long time and has seen his type over and over," she sighed.
"He thinks Brock's planning something and he's going to show up when we least expect it, he wants me to be careful."

"He really believes that?" Paul asked shaking his head.

"Apparently."

"I won't let anything happen to you," Paul promised. "I won't let him hurt you."

"I know," she said smiling. "Bella said if something happened to me you would loose it and with your temper you would probably kill Brock if he did something."

"I probably would," Paul admitted.

"Are you mad?" she asked.

"I'm not mad at you, I don't like the leech…"

"Edward," Anna interrupted.

"Edward," Paul spat. "But he's been there at school when I couldn't be and I'm thankful that he was there to protect you when I couldn't be." he sighed.

"Paul," Anna said. "I know you don't want to hear it but other than being a vampire Edward isn't that bad, you two probably wouldn't get along well anyway. You'd get along better with his brother Emmet,
if they weren't vampires."

"The big one," Paul said and Anna nodded. "Well its never going to happen, me and leeches getting along so we can stop talking about it."

"Of course," she said and went back to eating.

"So how was your day?" Anna asked as Paul was helping her load the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen.

"It was good, work is always the same, it's a job, If I didn't work with Sam I'd probably hate it."

"Its good that you can work with your friends." she told him.

"It is," Paul said as he closed the dishwasher and started it. "So I say we stop talking about Edward Cullen and work and school and enjoy our night together."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Anna said and slid her arms around his neck. Paul leaned down and kissed her lips, sliding his hands down her body and sweeping her up in his arms and carrying her upstairs. When he got to her room he walked inside and kicked the door shut behind him. He put her down and slid his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. Paul took a moment to let his eyes travel over her body. She was wearing loose fitting pajama pants and a cami top, her hair was in a ponytail. Paul reached up and pulled the band out of her hair and it fell around her shoulders, he ran his fingers through her hair and pressed his forehead against hers.

"Paul," Anna said softly and he pulled away and looked at her, "Is everything ok?"

"Of course," he said and she smiled.

"Come on," she said and took his hand in his and led him to the bed. She turned the covers back and laid down and pulled Paul down beside her. "I don't want you to leave tomorrow."

"I know and I don't want to either," he said. "Think your dad would notice if I snuck in your bedroom window." he asked.

"I don't know I've never tried that."

"Not even with your ex?"

"Brock and I never slept together," she told him. "And I never wanted to sleep with him so I had no reason to sneak him in," she said. "Now you, I have every reason to sneak in," she added smiling.

"Let's see whether he likes me or not first," Paul said as Anna moved closer to him and laid her head on his chest. "I don't want to get you in any trouble by sneaking in your window."

"Don't worry so much about my dad now," she told him.

"Anna, you may act like you're not worried and say you're not worried about your dad liking me but I know you are," he said. "Deep down you have to, you just don't want to tell me."

"Paul," she sad softly and looked up at him. "Of course I'm worried about it, but I'm trying to think positively about everything."

"How's that working for you?" he asked smirking.

"Better than you would think." she told him and he leaned over and kissed her lips.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you to." Anna sighed and leaned into him.


The next morning Anna and Paul had breakfast together and then walked outside together to go to work and school.

"You will call me later after you talk to your dad?" Paul asked.

"Of course I will," she told him. "I miss you already," she sighed and he leaned down and kissed her lips.

"I miss you to," he told her and she laid her head against his chest and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you to," he said smiling her and he leaned down and kissed her lips again. "Call me tonight."

"I will," she sighed. "Be careful at work."

"Be careful at school," he replied and they got in their cars and went their separate ways.


The school day ended rather quickly for Anna. Aimee, Bella and Edward had wished her good luck with her dad and Paul before she left. She walked across the parking lot to her car. She was still thinking about
her dad coming home and having to tell him about Brock and Paul and then him meeting Paul and if she was being perfectly honest with herself, the chances of her dad not liking Paul were higher than the
chances of him liking Paul. She let out a sigh as she continued walking to her car. She wasn't paying attention to where she was going still lost in her thoughts and she bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized and looked up. "Brock."

"Hello Anna," he smiled. "I've missed you, I've been out of town for a while."

"Oh," she said and moved to walk around him but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him.

"You still dating that guy?" he asked.

"His name is Paul and yes I am," she told him. "Let go of my arm." she demanded as she tried to pull her arm away from him.

"I thought you might have came to your senses while I was gone and dumped him."

"I came to my senses the day I dumped you," she told him. "where have you been anyway?"

"Well I had the flu for a few days and then I had to go out of town for a family thing," he told her.

"Well I have to go," she told him.

"Anna, when you do come to your senses I'll be ready to take you back," he said and pulled her close to him.

"I don't want you back, just leave me alone," she told him and jerked away from his grasp.

"I'm back now Anna," he said as she ran to her car. "And I won't stop until you're mine again." he said to himself.

Anna ran the rest of the way to her car and jumped in and locked the door and cranked it. She took a deep breath and backed out of her parking space and drove home. Her dad would most likely be there
when she got home and she was excited and nervous to see and talk to her dad. It had been months seen she seen him last. About twenty minutes later she pulled into her driveway and went inside her house.
She walked in and went upstairs to her room. She hadn't seen her dad yet but she knew he was here, his coat was on the couch. After putting her bag up she went back downstairs and saw him coming out of the kitchen.

"Daddy!" she exclaimed.

"I was wondering when you would get home," he said smiling and she ran over and threw her arms around him.

"I missed you," she said as he hugged her back.

"I missed you to," her dad said. "Let me look at you," he said. "You're growing up so fast, you look just like your mother," he told her and she smiled as she took her dad's appearance in. His dark hair was getting streaked with gray, It looked like he had put on a few pounds but he wasn't fat, he still looked healthy.

"So how long are you here this time?"

"Two weeks," her dad answered and she smiled.

"Good."

"So come sit down and tell me what's been going on with you," he said and they walked to the couch.

"So how's your friend Aimee, right?"

"Yes Aimee and she's doing really good," Anna answered.

"She's dating the guy that lives down the street right?"

"Kevin, no not anymore she broke up with him," Anna told him.

"Why would she do that?"

"He was cheating on her dad, with another girl," she told him. "Sleeping with another girl," she added and her dad nodded.

"Can't really blame her then," her dad sighed.

"But she has a new boyfriend and he's amazing," Anna told her dad. "They're crazy about each other," she added. "His name is Jacob."

"And do you like Jacob?" her dad asked curiously.

"Yeah I do, he's really nice." she answered.

"So how are you and Brock?" he asked. "We'll have to have him over for dinner soon," he added. "You and him make a great couple."

"Dad there's something I have to tell you about Brock," she told him.

"What is it?"

"We broke up or rather I dumped him," she told him and took a deep breath and waited for her dad's reaction.

"Why would you do that!" her dad exclaimed. "He comes from a good family, you two are perfect for each other," he went on.

"DAD!" she yelled. "Stop," she told him and she let out a sigh and ran her fingers through her hair.

"What happened?" he asked. "What could he have done that would make you leave him."

"He slept with another girl," she told him.

"Once?" he asked.

"More than once dad," she told him.

"You won't give him another chance?" her dad asked.

"I thought you didn't like Brock," she said.

"Well I don't, I'll never like any guy you date but I can accept him," her dad told her. "I thought you two would last longer," he sighed and leaned back against the couch.

"I will not be with a guy who cheats on me ever, Brock and I are over and we are NOT getting back together," she told her dad. "And I mean it."

"Ok," her dad said but it was clear he wasn't happy about it.

"Ok so here's the thing I need to tell you," she said. "I have a new boyfriend and he's the most amazing guy in the whole world. He's sweet and attractive and a lot smarter than he wants to give himself credit
for, He takes care of me and treats me better than Brock ever thought about treating me." she told him as a smile broke out on her face.

"You're serious about this guy," her dad said shocked.

"Yes."

"What's his name?"

"Paul Redmen," she said.
