A Sky Of Diamonds Just For Us

The chatter surrounding me wouldn't have bothered me, but seeing the circumstances it only aggravated me. Evoking a reaction that burned beneath my skin. He was late. Out of all the days to be late, he chose tonight. The last night I was able to spend with my family since tomorrow I was moving to the campus. On the other side of the freaking country! And he was late. My own father was late because he had responsibilities. Don't I count as a responsibility? Or am I even that unworthy of his attention. I looked at my mother who was conversing with Paul who was seated next to me. I loved this restaurant. I was glad my mother had arranged something like this, especially because she had also included Paul. His warm had was clutching my much smaller one. He was the only reason I hadn't snapped yet.

But I suppose even that was a luxury I couldn't afford. I dropped the napkin I was holding in my other hand and glared at my mother. Refraining from slamming my hand on the table. I didn't want to cause a scene but sometimes it seemed impossible.

"He's not here yet." I stated. My mother looked at me and pressed her lips together. Her eyes thoughtful.

"He will come. He's just running a bit late." I raised my eyebrows. A bit late?

"We've been sitting here for over an hour. We're almost done eating." I said, as I pointed to our plates. "How late can you be?" I was practically growling and I was certain my mother didn't appreciate that.

"Julie, watch your tone." She said sternly. "He had some business to attend to. It happens." Yeah, you can say that. It happens all the time.

"It's my last night here." I resorted to being hurt. I was. I knew he didn't see me as a perfect daughter, and I never claimed to be one. But even he wasn't all that stone hearted. "And he can't even show up on time." I closed my eyes and rested my head on my palm.

"Julie, I'm sure it's not like that. If he could-" My mother began but I cut her off. I had enough of it. Her trying to make excuses for his actions.

"Stop it!" I hissed. Paul's hand tightened. "I'm his daughter!" I pointed out and at some point my eyes were brimming with tears. "Doesn't that mean anything? Do I mean that little to him?"

"Of course not." My mother gasped when suddenly a dark figure was standing next to our table. He sat down next to my mother and I averted my eyes. I didn't want to see him right now. My father.

"Sorry I'm late." He grunted and he pecked my mother on the cheek before nodding towards Paul. He didn't say anything to me. I felt a hot rush of anger run through me. Bubbling underneath my skin like lava and I stood up abruptly.

"Jules." I ignored Paul's voice.

"Well it's nice to see you've decided to show up." I said angrily. "But I think it's time to go."

"Sit down, Julie." My father ordered. Not fazed by little temper tantrum. I blinked when Paul pulled me down. "I'm here now, aren't I?"

"You were an hour late. That's not nothing." I hissed. "You could've stayed away and I would've been just as upset as I am now. Don't you even care?" His eyes watched me carefully and I was hoping I was cracking his armour. Maybe he would show me what I wanted him to show. But of course, it was all wishful thinking. These kind of things didn't happen when it came to Finn Lynam. Especially when my mother was near.

"I had things to settle at the hospital." My father said pointedly. He was warning me to pull back and I realized that this had become a personal battle between my father and I. Even Paul wasn't reacting. Merely holding my hand to pull back. Even my mother wasn't reacting.

"So you're telling me I'm less important than your responsibilities at work?" I whispered, hurt. "Do you think so little of me?"

His brown eyes were hard and his jaw clenched in the vocal aggression but since we were in a public place I doubted that he was going to react upon it. He was far too collected for that. My father. I closed my eyes and the tears spilled, staining my cheeks. I felt Paul's arm behind my back. I ignored it.

"You don't care. You never did." I admitted. I looked at him through blurry eyes. "I know I'm not what you wanted and I can deal with that. But stop brushing me off like this. I'm your daughter. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" I trailed off slowly.

"Enough, Julie! I didn't come here to be lectured. I'm your father, show some damn respect." I swallowed thickly.

"And I'm your daughter." I told him. "I'll show you respect, when you'll deem me important." I got up and grabbed my purse before leaving the table.

"Julie." My mother's voice rang. I ignored it.

As I walked out of the restaurant feeling somewhat proud. I may have ruined my last night here but I've finally told my father what I felt. For the first time I've honestly told him what was on my mind. That had to count for something. Maybe it was the fact that it was my last night and since everything felt so final I decided to act out but whatever it was. It didn't change my other emotions. The fact I was hurt and the fact I was still crying.

The cold air hit me softly and my eyes brimmed with another set of tears. Walking out on someone had never been so easy. I wrapped my arms around my bare shoulders and shivered. This was Forks, it was always cold here and I silently cursed for not bringing my jacket with me. Maybe Paul would bring it.

Hot arms settled around me, hands on my stomach. I knew it was Paul. I recognized his scent immediately. I didn't bother to turn around but Paul's warmth comforted me so I pressed my back closer to him. I felt his breath on the back of my ear as he gently kissed my bare shoulder.

"You okay?" He asked gruffly. His voice low, yet coming out as a whisper. I shrugged as I eyed the road. "I take that as a no then." I shrugged again.

"I hate him." I murmured. "I never thought that was possible, but I actually do hate him. Does that make me a bad person?" I wondered out loud. I wasn't expecting any answers but I knew Paul wasn't going to let this slide.

"You don't hate him. You think you hate him because you need to react in a way." He said softly. His voice was full with affection, affection for me. But his words held some kind of truth.

I resented him. Yes, but fully hating him maybe was a too big of a word.

"You love him even though he neglects you. And that is what you hate." Paul finished and my chest heaved with a shaky breath. I hated it when he was right. "There will be a day when he'll come around, and he'll regret the fact that he has missed so much. You're a warm, kind, talented girl. Who has done nothing but accepted everything he did."

"You forgot pretty." I joked.

"Don't you mean beautiful?" Paul said seriously and I turned around, grimacing.

"You're biased."

"You're stubborn." He shot back and I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"You know." He mused as he eyed me up and down. "I really do love this dress. Have I mentioned that?" I shook my head as I smiled and I put hand on his blue dress shirt. "Well, you look ravishing." He playfully kissed the side of my neck again.

I groaned. "It sounds like you want to eat me." I retorted playfully. He laughed lowly and I wrapped my arms around his waist.

The summer had gone by faster than I'd expected. And since it was over now I can't help but feel remorse. I knew this day was coming. You can't stop time, no matter how much you want it. So I had stopped doing that and instead I tried to enjoy it to the fullest I could. And that worked, for a while. Because even if you've fully accepted it, there'll always be a tiny voice in your mind that will push you back to your former state. And that is exactly what happened. At night, when Paul slept. I couldn't help but feel time slip through my fingers. It was like trying to hold water. And I found myself wondering whether I was doing the right thing in the first place.

Paul was staying in La Push. He was going to take a year off to focus on the pack. Especially with the Cullen drama that was going on. Apparently Bella was going to get married in a couple of days and she had crushed Jake's heart in the process. He ran away and was still missing. I knew that it tore the pack apart, not to mention his close friends and family. Bella was looking for him though, I didn't buy it.

"Let's go home." I murmured. And Paul gave me a tiny smile.

"Yeah. Wait here. I'll go get our coats." I nodded and watched Paul disappear back inside the restaurant. I really was lucky to have found him. To have him stick around even after the many mistakes I've made. We've endured a lot in the past six months. I never knew that maintaining a relationship could be this hard. But it was fairly easy as well. They went hand in hand in fact. I felt more at ease with Paul than with anyone else. And I don't think that was going to change soon.

So with me leaving for college was just another bump in the road and we were going to smooth it down. Because with him, it was worth it. And I was dead sure that we were going to survive because we've done worse. We've been worse. Besides, not being with Paul isn't really an option. It's a necessity. And I know relationships should be done with free will. But with us, free will was equivalent to necessity. And I needed Paul just as much as he needed me.

"Here you go." Paul was back and he handed me my coat before he plucked the car keys out of his pocket. He pushed me into the direction of his car. His hand pleasantly hovering on the small of my back.

As we drove back to La Push I felt my heart clench, I was going to miss Paul so much. I knew it wasn't permanent, we were going to see each other every two months but somehow that wasn't nearly good enough. I needed him, so much that being apart from him for more than a day was hell. But not going to college wasn't an option either. I didn't want to give up everything and I doubted Paul would let me in the first place. So the situation remained the same.

"Paul, let's go to the beach." I spoke up. Paul turned to me, his brown eyes interested.

"Sure." He responded and he turned the car, heading to the beach. We drove for what seemed five minutes when suddenly the rain started to pour. I cursed. There goes our idea of fun on the beach, or should I say my idea.

"Shit." Paul cursed. "I don't think the beach is going to be an option now." I nodded while a grimace adorned my face.

"Can we stay here though?" Paul nodded and turned off the engine and for a while the only thing we could hear was the rain tapping down on the window.

"Come on." I murmured. "Let's do something stupid." I said and I opened the door and got out of the car.

The rain poured down on me and the splatters soaked me immediately. I could see Paul's incredulous face from the car and I smiled, beckoning him to come. He took off his coat and got out of the car. It was cold and my dress was definitely ruined as it clung to my curves. I bent forward and took off my shoes, discarding them next to the car and decided to eye Paul. His dress shirt was soaked and I could hear him swear. I laughed.

"Can't handle rain?" I asked him and Paul scowled before moving towards me. His skin was hot, like usual, and I decided that there was no way I was going to let him go tonight.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and leant my head against his chest. I felt his hot arms around mine and his mouth kissed my bare shoulder. I wasn't sure how long we stood like this out here. In the rain, but at some point the thunder started and I pulled away startled. It was as if everyone was trying to make this even harder than it already was. Paul ignored it though and bent down to press his lips against mine. I eagerly replied. Pressing myself closer to him as goose bumps surfaced on my skin. I tugged at his shirt before sliding my hands beneath them, palming his back. Exploring every bit of hot skin.

The kiss was lazy in nature and we took our time to explore each other's mouths. The way he nipped my lower lip, pulling, biting before delving his tongue in my mouth again made my toes curl. His hands were holding my face before they moved down my sides to my hips where he pulled at the dress and his hands moved up from beneath my dress. His bare hands on my skin made the pit of my stomach tightened and I felt like I was on fire. I pulled away as he kept on kissing my chin, my jaw and then my throat. His hands were now kneading my backside. I scratched his back with my nails in anticipation. The moan that escaped his mouth made me yearn for more.

"Maybe." I gasped. Paul was very good at kissing and I pushed myself on my toes bringing my hands to his chest now. He muscles clenched beneath my touch. "We should continue..." I moaned as he pulled away the strap of my dress and his mouth moved closer to the swell of my breasts. "car..." I brought out. I pulled at his arm as I tried to move towards the vehicle.

Both of us stumbled to his car and I quickly picked up my shoes before I forgot about them and we got in the car, his weight pinning me down on the backseat. I threw the shoes to the front and Paul closed the door behind us. I knew where this was going and I had no problem with it whatsoever. The only thing I was worried about though was whether it was going to work in the car. I've never done it here before. But once Paul touched me again I was long past gone and I threw myself into our current occupations.

I unbuttoned his shirt kissing every piece of exposed skin, nipping, dragging my teeth across his skin before pulling his shirt off him. His tan skin was illuminated in the faint light and I brought my hand to his cheek, dragging fingers across his jaw before pulling him closer for a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and arched my back into him, wanting to feel my skin on his. I was impatient and wanted to get rid of my dress as soon as possible but Paul wanted to go slow and he was thoroughly investigating my skin.

He was slowly pulling the straps off my shoulders as he kissed down my throat to my collar bone, resting for a bit. His teeth pulled at the skin before licking it with his tongue. I heaved a deep sigh and his hands started to work on the end of my dress. He dragged it up my thighs and it was now bunched up around my waist. His fingers ran on my inner thighs and my muscles clenched with the fire his touch gave me.

"The zipper is on the side." I breathed out as Paul got frustrated when he couldn't get the dress off without ruining it. And I refused to ruin this dress for I did love it. Paul swore and I giggled finding the situation incredibly hilarious. His fingers skilfully found the zipper and he pulled it down. I arched my back into him and he pulled the dress over my head.

I felt his eyes on me and both of us were still for a moment. Taking each other in for a second. "You're beautiful." He whispered and he moved down to press his lips on me again. I smiled into the kiss before deepening it. I wanted to hear him, I wanted to feel him. Our tongues stroked each other and my hands moved to the button of his pants and I eagerly unbuckled it. He raised his hips to get his pants off and soon the only thing separating us were his boxers and mine panties.

"Slow." I whispered and my hand moved inside his boxer brushing his length. I started to stroke him slowly, holding him in my hand. His face buried in the crook of my neck. His breath fanned my skin and I felt my own arousal when he moaned.

"Jules." His guttural sighs always were the best. His moans and pants were starting to spur me myself and I as his hands gripped my hips he started to trail a path to my chest with his mouth. The skin he touched with his mouth burned and I moaned as his mouth brushed over my nipples. They hardened immediately and I felt my body react immediately. I cried out as his mouth closed over my nipple, his teeth scratching the delicate skin.

"P-Paul." I stammered as I dug my nails into his back. The rain was still pounding and it was strange I had forgotten about my surroundings completely. This just proved that his touch always had me undone. The sky thundered and a flash of light illuminated us. He looked even more beautiful.

His hands moved the sides of my panties and he quickly pulled them off. His hands moved up my inner thighs before his fingers dipped inside of me. I moaned as he rubbed the sensitive nub. My eyes fluttered close and my hips rocked against his hand. The feelings were intensifying and I wanted to feel him inside of me.

"I-I n-need you Paul." I gasped before moaning again.

"Patience Jules." He breathed out and my hips moved again. This time I was starting to reach my climax, my limbs started to twitch and suddenly he pulled away. I groaned when I heard his low laugh. His lips teasing my neck again when he positioned himself at my opening. His hips moved closer and I realized he had gotten rid of his boxers without my help. I wanted to say something but every word left my train of thought when he pushed himself inside of me.

I grabbed his arms as our hips started to move in sync. He filled me completely and the only thing I was aware of, were the waves of pleasure washing over me. I was completely riding this wave and I felt his arm grip my back as his own grunts intensified. I was perfectly sure that no one would ever be able to see where the other began since we were so complete. His thrusts quickened and the pressure started to built. I felt my muscles clamp around his and suddenly I gripped the edge of the car seat when Paul slammed his mouth on me, effectively muffling the sounds I was making. He thrust heavily again as the pressure was released and both of us collapsed, spent in every way.

We were breathing harshly and Paul's face was buried in my neck. I shivered as his breath fanned my skin. His heat was engulfing me completely and I felt sleepy wanting to sleep with Paul still on top of me. But I knew that wasn't an option and I smacked Paul's arm to get his attention.

"That was..." I began, swallowing before I could use my voice again. "I have no words for it." I concluded. I felt his grin on my skin.

"Amazing? Brilliant? Hot as hell?" Paul teased. "Well I agree." And for once I didn't scold his arrogance. Conceited ass he was.

Slowly he pulled himself off of me again and we got dressed, unfortunately. Although I wouldn't say I didn't take another peek at him while getting dressed. I'd be honest, this car experience definitely was something I was going to remember. I glanced at Paul and noticed there was something in his eyes that tugged on my heartstrings. As he started to button his shirt I quickly moved to his lap, straddling him. I ignored the surprised look on his face and started to button his shirt up.

"Not that I'm not appreciating this? But I rather you unbutton it, Jules." Paul winked and I smacked the top of his head.

"Ass." I gritted out before looking outside. The rain had stopped and I rested my head against his chest. His hand stroked the length of my hair, or should I say bird's nest for it must look horribly like sex hair. That brought a smile to my face.

"I'm going to miss you." And this statement brought tears to my eyes.

"Yeah, me too." I said as my voice cracked. I sighed and pulled away before realizing that tears were brimming in my eyes. His thumb caressed the fragile skin beneath my eyes before pecking the tip of my nose.

"Don't cry." I sniffed letting out a watery laugh.

"I'm not." And he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Right..."

"It's true. I just got something in my eye." Paul rolled his eyes and I sighed, the corner of my mouth pulling down. "We're going to make this work, aren't we?"

"Definitely." Paul responded and he pulled me closer to him again. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. "It's just college Jules. Next year I'll be going as well and slowly we'll be wrapped up in our own lives we won't even notice each other's absence." I snorted. As if!

"That's bull." I responded dryly. "You're just saying that."

"True." He responded and silence engulfed us again.

Whatever was waiting for us was something we could overcome. A bump in the road was only natural and we were strong enough to stand against it. This was like a new adventure. Only, it was a separate adventure, one that didn't include each other directly. And that was the only thing that bothered me immensely. For I wanted to be part of Paul's live in every possible way, including this. But I wasn't the only one that was going through this, so were Summer and Seth, Jared and Kim as well. This was normal. And we had our imprint bond to pull us through it all. For this was the start of our new life. In which we were always going to be a part of each other. Even when we weren't close to each other, it was a fact that would always remain.

We stood together, no matter what.

Disclaimer: Nothing was mine, just the plot and the OC's you didn't recognize. The pack is and will always be SM's brilliant creations :D

A/N: So it's over :O I'm not sure how I feel about it. For the past 1 1/2 year this story has been very important to me. I didn't only get to share Julie and Paul's story but I also had the oppurtunity to entertain people with my writings. I personally think I've come a long way if you compare my horrible writing in the beginning to what I write now. But I suppose that's only natural. But anyways, one part of their journey is over and the other will begin soon! So I recommend you guys to put me on Author Alert for the sequel Oh Dear!!! Original title huh!

I want to thank every person who has supported me and reviewed for I couldn't have done it without you guys. You guys made it possible to breathe life into Paul and Julie's story. It wouldn't have come so far hadn't it been for you. I loved every single word, every constructive criticism, every objection, basically I loved EVERYTHING, because this story developed to something real! Thank you so, so, so much! But this story isn't over yet so I hope you guys will stay with me for the next ride, for it's going to be quite different from this one. This was just a tad more than puppy love! Oh Dear is going to be a lot more intense :D I'm looking forward to writing is even though I'm sad about this story. I'm done writing it. The first story I've actually finished :D I'm proud, like beaming right now :D lol!

So again, thank you and for the last time, please review and let me know your thoughts about the ride called Oh Jules :D
