A/N Thanks for all the reviews and stuff, really appreciate it, here is the next chapter…
Paul POV
Who the fuck turned the light on? I threw my arm over my eyes, rolling over before opening them. The blinds had been left open last night which let the sun shine in, we're in La Push, there is never any fucking sun!
I looked over at Bella still sleeping next to me and smiled, She was lying on her front, her face buried in her pillow, her hair covered what little part of her face you could see and the majority of her back and the covers had pretty much fallen off the bed and only covered her ass and legs.
I couldn't stop myself from reaching a hand out and gently running it down her spine and up again, moving her hair out of the way to expose her mark, my mark. For the first time since I had phased my wolf was finally calm.
Bella made a small grumbling noise before attempting to bury her face deeper into the pillow making me smile wider.
I sat up, running a hand through my hair before moving to a leg on either side of Bella. I bent down and pressed a kiss inbetween her shoulder blades, slowly moving up her neck until I got to her mark
"Good morning" I whispered in her ear before pressing a kiss to her mark
"You're still here" She whispered quietly, I looked down at her confused, did she think…
"How you feeling?" I asked, not asking the question I wanted to
"I'm alright" She sighed as I kissed her mark again
"You hurting?"
"Little bit" She told me honestly
Bella POV
Suddenly Paul stood up and off the bed, I kept my head buried in my pillow. I heard water running in the bathroom before suddenly I was pulled up from my bed, I couldn't hold in my startled squeak, making Paul laugh as he carried me into the bathroom.
He sat me down on the counter before turning back to the bath, he waited a few moments before turning the water off, picking me up again and placing me in the warm, bubbly water. He sat down on the floor, putting his arms on the side of the bath, resting his chin on his arms, just watching her. She pulled her knees up close to her chest, placing her chin on her knees, watching him.
"You're still here" I whispered again before I could stop myself
"Of course I am" Paul stated, "Why wouldn't I be?"
"I guess…I thought maybe this was just gonna be a one time thing, you got what you wanted and then we'd just go back to being friends, like nothing ever happened" I whispered so quietly that if he didn't have his supernatural hearing he wouldn't have been able to hear me
"Why would you think that?" He asked
"It seemed to good to be true" Was my reply
"I'm never leaving you" Paul told me, "You're stuck with me for life, Bells" He smirked, trying to lighten the mood
"Lucky me" I smiled at him
"Does your mark hurt?" Paul asked, reaching out and running his fingertips over it
"No" I sighed, "It feels good…When you touch it"
"Yeah?" He smirked
I nodded my head, closing my eyes, enjoying the feel of his hand on my mark and the warm water relaxing me
"You wanna see it?" Paul asked quietly not taking his hand away
I silently nodded my head smiling, not making any move to get out of the warm water.
"You know you'll need to get up to do that" Paul laughed
"Now you're just lying to me" I smirked
Paul rolled his eyes at me before standing up and holding his hand out. I stood up and held my hand out making Paul raise an eye brow
"I need a towel" I stated
"Nah, you don't" Paul answered before simply picking me out of the bath and placing me on the floor in front of him
"You really need to stop getting me wet Lahote, seriously, cliff diving, throwing me in your shower, putting me in baths…It's getting out of hand" I sighed, smirking up at him
"I li-"
"Yes, I know you like getting me wet, Lahote " I cut him off "you need to get some new lines Paul come on man"
"When you say it, it just takes all the fun out of it" Paul grumbled as he walked me over to the mirror
He turned me around to face the mirror, moved my hair to the side before picking up a smaller mirror and holding it up so I could see the reflection. On the back of my neck was…well, a bite mark. It looked like an animal had bit my neck, around the edge of it was slightly red, it looked better than I thought it would if anyone had bit me.
I reached up and ran my fingers over the mark gently, it didn't hurt but it didn't feel the same way it did when Paul touched it, it was the same temperature as Paul, I hadn't noticed it before but it was really warm like him.
"It's warm" I smiled at him in the mirror as he put his mirror down
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, like you" I told him making him smile, he bent down slightly until his chin rested on top of my head and wrapped his arms around me
"Thank you" He whispered quietly
"For what?"I asked
"For letting me be with you" Paul answered, I looked up at him in confusion before he continued, "I've given you a lot of reasons to not want to you know and after the way I tried to push you away and stuff, I saw how that made you feel and stuff and-"
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"I saw…What you said to Sam that day, I didn't realise what I done made you feel like that, I'm sorry"
"You saw…" Me telling Sam about how I wasn't good enough for Paul…Fuck
"You're my everything" Paul stated simply, "No matter how I say this it's gonna sound cheesey and if the guys see this when I'm phased they're gonna laugh at me for the rest of my life but I love you so fucking much Swan, you are too good for me, I don't what I'd do without you"
"You're right that was cheesey" I smiled at him, "I love you too"
"Good to know" He smiled before pressing a kiss to the top of my head
"So, what are we gonna do today?"
Time Skip
"Well today was a very productive day" I stated sarcastically as Paul turned on yet another episode of Friends
"The happiness and joy is just coming off you in waves right now" Paul responded
"I want to sleep" I told him
"Then sleep"
"I can't sleep if you're not under the covers" I told him
"The things I do for you woman" Paul sighed as he stood up from his spot at the end of the bed to crawl under the covers and wrap his arms around me, "Happy?"
"Eh, could be worse" I joked
"Midget, sleep, I want to hear what Chandler says"
"You already know what he says, you've seen this episode five times"
"That's not the point"
"Then what is the point?"
"Midget" He growled
"Yes, oh dearest giant?" I smiled up at him
"Sleep" Was all he said before turning back to the tv
I stood still, I couldn't move even if I wanted to. My feet were cemented to the ground.
The fire burned in front of me, purple smoke rose from it, what was burning?
"You done it!" The voice rang out too loud in my head
I tried to open my mouth to question but it was stitched shut, no noise would come out, I doubt the voice would listen even if I could speak
What did I do? What was burning? Where the fuck was i?
I knew the voice.
I had heard it before
The voice struck fear into my very being. Every time the voice uttered a word my blood ran cold.
"You're a murderer!" The voice spat, venom dripping from his words like the venom that froze his heart
"You took her away from me, you did it, you killed her!"
Who did I kill?! I didn't, I've never killed anyone, I wouldn't do that. I couldn't.
I looked down at the fire as it seemed to grow bigger and grew closer to me. I tried to step back but still couldn't move, I nearly fell face first into the fire, my hands flew out in front of me to try and balance but what I saw made me freeze again.
Blood.
Blood covered my hands and most of my arms. It was painted onto my skin like red gloves.
"You done this, you killed her, you will die just like she did!"
As soon as the voice growled his last word, I felt hands at my back push me forward, my feet finally able to move left the ground and straight into the…
"Paul!" I gasped, throwing my arm out across my bed only to find it empty
A cold sweat dripped down my back, I tried to calm myself down but it didn't seem to work. I threw my arms out in front of me, turning them over to find that they were clear and untouched
"Bells?" I shrieked slightly as I looked up to see Paul halfway through my window
"I was…You were…" I gasped trying to form a sentence before just giving up, "Gone"
"I couldn't sleep, I was outside on top of the porch drawing, I had to phase for a minute, I just got back" Paul told me, "You had another nightmare?"
I silently nodded my head trying to get my nerves to calm down
"You want to go back to sleep?" Paul asked
I shook my head
"Ok, come out here, I want to show you something" Paul told me nodding his head out the window before climbing back out
I slid out of bed, over to the window before slowly climbing out onto the roof of the porch. I sat down next to Paul. He had a pad in his lap and a pencil in his hand as he continued drawing on the paper
"You need to get better pencils" Paul informed me, smirking slightly
"I apologies Mr Van Gogh" I smiled sarcastically, "What you drawing there?"
He silently handed me the pad before looking up at the sky. I looked down at the paper and smiled. He had drawn the forest that outlined my back garden, the moon and the stars all drawn in and then in the bottom of the trees sitting in the grass was a wolf.
"It's beautiful" I smiled at him, "Who is it?" I asked looking at the wolf
"How do you know it's one of us?"
"Lucky guess"
"How do you know it's not me?" He asked
"…The eyes" I stated, "When I saw Leah and Jared phase they still had the same eyes"
"It's Quil" Paul told me, "He came by earlier, wanted to know how stuff went with Cara and everything, wanted to know how you were"
"We have pretty good friends, don't we?" I smiled resting my head on his shoulder
"Yeah, we do"
"What's that?" I asked as my eyes noticed the design on the bottom right corner of the page
"That's the tattoo I need to get soon" Paul told me, "You know that tattoo Sam has on his shoulder? We all need to get it, Jay, Jake, Quil and Embry got theirs yesterday but me and Lee will get ours later"
"Why are you getting yours later?"
"I want things to calm down a little bit before I get mine done and Lee wants you to be there to hold her hand when she gets hers done" Paul smirked
"She'll probably break it" I smiled
"Yeah probably" Paul laughed quietly
"I think you'll look pretty bad ass with a tattoo" I smiled at him
"You mean I don't look bad ass right now?"
"Eh, sure you do" I joked, "Can I see your wolf?"
"You wanna see my wolf?" Paul sounded surprised
"Yeah, I mean…If you want to and stuff I'm…Curious"
"Ok" Paul nodded quietly, "Please don't be scared though, it's still me just…Different"
"I could never be scared of you"
Paul nodded his head again before jumping off the porch and landing silently on the grass. He walked a few steps closer to the forest before pulling his t-shirt over his head and pulling his shorts down.
"You know you could just stay like that, I don't need to see the wolf that bad" I smirked
"Shut it, Swan" Paul smirked before his face went serious
His body started to shake, it started off small, barely even noticeable before slowly building up into huge tremors. It looked almost painful, I wanted to take my request back, I didn't want him to do this if it hurt him. But before I could tell him that…He was gone, replaced.
In his place stood a huge, the size of a horse, silver, grey, wolf. He looked up at me, his eyes startlingly the same dark brown, almost black colour of Paul's. I slid to the edge of the porch, my legs dangling off the edge.
"Well, I always wanted a dog" I laughed
A/N Yes I deleted The Alpha's Girl, I didn't like it. I didn't like where it was going or how I had written it or anything about it, I MIGHT re-write it one day but don't be expecting it any time soon, I'm sorry if you were really looking forward to the ending but you wouldn't have liked where it was going to end trust me. Sorry
Anyway thank you for all the birthday wishes, review!
