CHAPTER 35
After Lilli finished drawing Paul as a wolf the two of them headed to Sam's. Lilli put her sketchbook and pencils in her bag, which Paul insisted on carrying even though it was
hot pink.
"You really don't have to carry my bag," she told him.
"I want to," he said. "You know I don't mind."
"I know," she sighed. "But do you realize you're carrying a hot pink backpack right?"
"I know," he said. "It looks good on me right?" he asked playfully.
"Oh yeah it looks great on you," Lilli said sarcastically. "The hot pink goes really well with your eyes," she teased. "It makes you look hot," she teased and he stopped walking.
"You're making fun of me," he said trying to look serious as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Of course," Lilli smiled. "Only about how the backpack looks good on you and goes with your eyes," she said and she saw him fighting back a smile. "And the backpack doesn't
make you look hot," she sighed and she saw him arch one perfect eyebrow and she took a step closer to him. "You don't need anything to make you look hot," she said quietly as
she ran a finger down his chest. "You look hot all on your own." he smiled and rested his hands on her hips and leaned down so his lips were by her ear.
"You think I'm hot," he whispered in her ear and placed his lips on her neck.
"You knew that already," she gasped. "I also think you're sexy," she said as she felt his lips kiss further on her neck and she closed her eyes. "and amazing," he kissed her lips, "smart," he kissed the other side of her neck. "You drive me crazy," she moaned and he pulled away and looked in her eyes.
"I may drive you crazy but you love it," he told her.
"Yeah I do love it," she sighed and ran her hands up his bare chest. "You know what else I love?"
"What?" he asked.
"Seeing my hot and sexy boyfriend wearing my hot pink backpack," she teased and Paul let out a playful growl.
"Stop teasing me," he said but Lilli saw the smile he was trying not to show.
"Never," she smiled and Paul reached to grab her but she jumped away from him. "Too slow?" she asked innocently and Paul smiled and shook his head and reached for her again but she ran off.
"Lilli," he said and smiled as he ran after her. "You know I can catch you." he added and she looked back and saw he was close to her, she felt him grab her around the waist and she lost her balance as he pulled her to him. Paul quickly moved her so he hit the ground and she fell on top of him.
"Are you ok?" she asked worried. He looked up at her.
"I'm fine, you're ok?"
"I'm great," she smiled and he brushed her hair away from her face. Lilli leaned down and kissed his lips, Paul ran his hands down her body and rested them on her waist. They were still kissing when Paul heard someone walk by them.
"Get a room!" they yelled and Lilli pulled away and saw Jacob.
"Jake!" Lilli and Paul said together and he smirked. Lilli let out a sigh and got off Paul. He stood up and looked over at Jacob. Jacob smiled as he saw him.
"Nice backpack," he teased and Paul growled
"Oh, let me show you something," Lilli said. "Let me have my backpack," she said and took it off his shoulder. She opened it and took her sketchbook out and turned it to the page she had drawn Paul as a wolf on and showed it to Jacob.
"Oh WOW!" Jacob exclaimed. "This is amazing," he told her. "I can't wait for you to draw me," he smiled. "This is really good, looks just like him."
"Thanks Jake," she said as he handed her book back to her and she closed it and put it in her bag and zipped it. "Well lets get going guys," she said and started walking away from them.
"You sure you can handle her for the rest of your life?" Jacob asked.
"I'm looking forward to it actually." Paul smiled. "Come on," he added and went after Lilli. Jacob smiled and followed him.
When the three of them got to Sam's, Lilli went to talk to Emily and Jacob and Paul went to join the rest of the guys.
"Hey Lilli," Emily said when she walked over.
"Hey," Lilli replied.
"So I heard your mom had a date last night with Billy."
"Yeah she did," Lilli sighed. "And she said it went well but won't tell me anything else."
"Well did she say if there was hope for a second date?" Emily asked hopefully.
"She said there was, I told her to drop by today and see Billy as well."
"Lets hope she listens," Emily said and the two of them talked a little more before Emily went inside to finish cooking. Lilli asked her if she wanted some help and Emily assured her everything was under control. So Lilli sat on the porch watching the guys talk and joke with each other. She let out a sigh and opened her backpack and took her sketchbook and pencils out and looked at the guys and started to draw them talking with each other. Trying to capture Jacob's smile, Paul's smirk. Sam had walked off so it was just Embry, Quill,
Paul and Jacob talking. Lilli was so immersed in her drawing that she never heard someone walk behind her watching her.
"I've heard about your drawings but I've never seen them," Lilli jumped and turned around to see Sam.
"Sam," she said.
"I didn't mean to scare you," he told her and he sat down and looked at her drawings. "You draw well," he told her and she smiled.
"Thanks Sam," she said and continued to draw the guys.
"I've heard Jake and Paul talking about your drawings," he said and Lilli turned to him and smiled and then turned back to her drawing finishing it up. Then she turned back to Sam.
"I guess you want to see," she sighed.
"If you don't mind," he said and Lilli handed him her book and he started from the first page and looked through the book. Lilli tried to read his expression as he flipped the pages
but he wasn't giving anything away about what he thought.
"These are really good," Sam told her and then he got to the one of Paul as a wolf. "This is Paul." he said and she nodded.
"Yeah I did that earlier today," she said quietly.
"Its beautiful," he said.
"Thank you," she whispered. "Paul wanted to keep it but I told him I wasn't finished with it yet."
"What else could you possibly do?"
"Well I'm going to paint it on a canvas," she told him.
"Well I can't wait to see it then," he said and Lilli smiled. Sam handed her the book back and stood up then sat back down. "So how do you really feel about your mom and Billy Black?" he asked.
"Sam I'm not lying when I say I'm happy she found someone. She's been so worried with taking care of me that she hasn't made herself happy and now that in a much better place than I was when I moved here she can do that," Lilli told her. "My mom deserves to be happy and if its with Billy then that's ok with me and if its not Billy I'm ok with that to."
"Really?" Sam asked surprised
"Why do you sound so surprised?" she asked as she closed her book and put it in the bag.
"Well most kids don't like when their parent dates," Sam sighed and Lilli smiled.
"Well I'm not most kids," she pointed out.
"I know," he sighed. "You put up with Paul," he added with a slight smile. Lilli smiled to.
"He's not that difficult," she sighed. "Most of the time," she added and Sam chuckled. "and he's been wonderful," she told him. "I never would have expected to feel the way I feel about Paul, about another guy ever again. But now that I'm with Paul and have fallen in love with him, I can't imagine not ever being with him." Sam smiled.
"Lilli, I don't know what happened to you before you moved here and I'm not going to ask; if you wanted me to know you'd tell me." he said and she nodded. "But just know if you need us we're all here for you."
"Thanks Sam," she said.
Lilli was still sitting on the porch when Paul sat down beside her not much later after Sam left.
"I saw you over here drawing something," he said. "You looked totally immersed in what you were doing." she smiled.
"I was."
"Can I see?"
"Sure," she said softly and she opened her bag and pulled the book back out and flipped to the page and handed it to him. She saw him look at it and then she saw a smile spread across his lips.
"Me and Jake," he said.
"Yeah," she sighed.
"I like it," he said and she smiled.
"Thanks," she replied quietly and he closed the book and handed it to her and she put it back in her bag.
"So when do I get to hear you sing and play the guitar?" he asked. "I mean I've heard you sing but I've never heard you play."
"Soon, I promise," she told him. "I've been working on a few things and I kind of want to finish them and then you can hear."
"Ok," he smiled.
"I haven't wrote in a while, since Keaton," she admitted and she felt Paul's arm slip around her and pull her close to him.
"I'm never going to let anyone hurt you again princess," he promised. "I'll keep you safe."
"I know," she whispered as she leaned into him. "I trust you and I always feel safe with you."
About an hour after Lilli left Kara was sitting on the couch. She was thinking about how Lilli told her she should visit Billy. She couldn't deny that what she wanted to do was drive to La Push and visit Billy. So twenty minutes later she found herself at Billy Black's house knocking on his front door. He answered a few minutes later and smiled when he saw her.
"Hello Kara," he smiled. "Come on in," he added and she smiled and walked inside. "Have a seat." he told her and she sat on the couch.
"I really enjoyed last night," Billy told her.
"I did to Billy," she smiled.
"I was hoping you'd like to go out again, Friday night maybe."
"That sounds great," she smiled and Billy let out a relieved sigh.
"Good," he sighed.
Later that afternoon after telling Paul good bye Lilli made her way home. She had to get ready for school the next day. She hated being apart from Paul, it always hurt to much. Talking to him during the week helped and spending time with him on the weekends. Lilli went upstairs to her room and sat on her bed. She picked her guitar up and started
playing a song she wrote after she stared dating Paul. As she played she sung the words she wrote to go with it.
This could be it, I think I'm in love
It's love this time
It just seems to fit, I think I'm in love
This love is mine
I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely night are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me-
and when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
adore me-oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah
You are the one, I think I'm in love
Life has begun
I can see the two of us together
I know I'm gonna be with you forever
Love couldn't be any better
Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me-
and when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
adore me-oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah
I can see you with me when I'm older
All my lonely nights are finally over
You took the weight of the world off my
shoulders (the world just goes away)
Oh, when you kiss me
I know you miss me
and when you're with me
The world just goes away
The way you hold me
The way you show me that you
adore me-oh, when you kiss me
Oh, yeah
And when you kiss me
I know you miss me
Oh, the world just goes away
When you kiss me
Lilli let out a sigh, she wondered if Paul would like it. She had also wrote other songs, well two about Paul or about how she felt about Paul. Then there was one about how
she felt with Paul after everything that happened with Keaton. This one had been the hardest to write. Being with Paul is the best decision she ever made. She knew he'd
never hurt her, he'd helped her get back to being herself again and now she couldn't imagine life without him. She was really nervous about Paul hearing it, well any of her
songs really. She let out a sigh and sat her guitar down by her bed. She was thinking of playing the songs for him soon and she really hoped he would like them.
