It was late in the afternoon on Saturday, Chloe and Paul had just spend the day in Seattle together and came back with two bags of books and clothes (three sets of jeans) that Chloe had ordered over the phone from catalogues.

While there they also watched 'Man of the house' in the cinema before having lunch at a pub near the complex. Overall it had been a great day for the couple, relaxing as well as just being together. It was also the first time Sam had let the two of them go off the reservation without any real worry.

Chloe had noticed when her and Paul started going off placing just the two the alpha had been worried that Paul wouldn't be able to handle it. Worried the shapeshifter would phase because of his lack of patience in a busy crowd. However, Sam was beginning to trust his beta off the reservation with Chloe.

That wasn't to say it hadn't been close calls of him phasing while they were in the city, because there had been. But if and when the wolf was near rearing Chloe was quick to act calm down/distract long enough for Paul to gain back control. Normally, it was as simple as touching his arm or hugging his side.

One time she actually pulled on his t-shirt so that she could kiss his cheek, leading to a quick return to Paul's truck so he could give her all the kisses he wanted to as thanks. But it had not been one of these days, nor had there been in quite some time. So now Paul pulled his truck up outside the Black's house and them getting out, Paul grabbing the bag before Chloe had a chance to reach for it.

"Thank you for getting the 'oh so heavy' bag" Chloe mocked with a slight chuckle. The gesture had been sweet and had caused Chloe playfully roll her eyes, ending with both giving each other a smirk.

"Anything to make it easier for you babe" Paul mocked in reply as he closed his truck door. Chloe rolled her eyes at him again shutting hers as well. By now Paul had moved to passenger side, leaning against the hood dangling the bag out playfully.

"I'm not sure you really needed these books" he commented, putting the bag on the hood in the middle by the windscreen, knowing Chloe couldn't reach without doing a small jump. She wasn't much shorter than him but he did have the longer reach. Chloe playfully glared at him and crossed her arms.

"I want those books Paul" she teasingly demanded looking at where he put them. "And the Jeans" she added as Paul just rose his eyebrow, making no move to reach for it as lean against the hood, crossing his own arms showing a teasing smirk.

"You mean the jeans you didn't even offer to try on in store for my eye only first" Paul countered.

"Why?" Chloe asked with a chuckle "Worried that they won't fit me?" she continued but Paul just shook his head.

"No, worried you'll look too good in them, other guys might look" Paul replied, resulting in another chuckle and playful roll of her eyes. Chloe then moved to stand in front of him, plan already in her head.

"Well you don't need to worry about that" she answered. "To everyone at school I'm 'the weird paleface' that hangs with 'those weird attractive group' at lunch" Chloe mocked as Paul opened his arms to take her in them while Chloe stepped into and placing her arms so her forearms rested on his shoulders.

"That's just what the guys say so they don't seem weird" he countered. "However, in their minds you're different to the other girls around them" he explained with a smile. "Which makes you rare which makes you that more attractive" Paul playfully growled lowering his head so their noses were touching.

"So I'm only attractive because I'm a paleface?" she asked pulling back slightly, pretending to be offended but Paul brought her even closer and moved so her nose didn't break contact with him.

"To them but not me" Paul corrected. "To me, you're the most attractive girl in the world with sandy bark hair and blue eyes as wonderful as the sky" Paul complimented. He was serious in his words. Chloe brought out a gentle side of him that only she ever saw but she didn't know just how much it meant.

"And I'm the imprint to your wolf" Chloe added trying to bring back the humour to the now serious moment. Paul saw she was trying to change from a subject that embarrassed her and took pity on it.

"That too, and how lucky I am to have it" he said moving his arms so he could take hold of her hips. Once he got the right grip he lifted her without any warning into the air.

"Eek!" Chloe squealed not ready to be lifted, causing Paul to laugh while spinning her around.

"Paul!" Chloe exclaimed while laughing at his childish antics. After spinning her around in the air a few turns Paul took pity. He set her down on the hood, not releasing her from his arms. Instead he stood between her legs so they were close. Once there he leaned up and took her lips with his.

Chloe had seen his plan so she leaned towards him, her arms wrapping around his neck. The kissed lasted only moments but felt longer to both, though Paul knew what her next move was be when they'd part. He wouldn't keep Chloe away from her shopping, was just fun to mess with her about. He smirked into the kiss and parted ever so slightly from her lips opening his eyes to look into hers.

"So do I get to be the first to see you in those jeans or not?" Paul teased.

"Do my jeans need a boyfriend stamp of approval?" Chloe replied in kind.

"Well, I could always go wolf, then tear up the too sexy ones" Paul teased back causing another light laugh for both of the pair. They were then back to kissing, but not for long.

"Will you both get a room, it's rude to do that in front of the house" a voice called out to them. The sound of the familiar voice caused them to part and both to groan in annoyance making his way from the doorway over to them.

"Of course he's there" she muttered with a smile at Paul which he returned before turning and grabbing her bag she could now reach. "I win" she said a little louder knowing Jacob would hear that.

"Only because I lifted you onto the hood minx" Paul countered with a chuckle taking her sides in his hand again and lifting her back down to the ground.

"Yeah, yeah, well you were the one to put it there to begin with" she replied before looking at Jacob. However, she was slightly shocked to see that he seemed to be above averagely dressed and looked freshly showered. Chloe rose and eyebrow at her cousin.

"Is it prom already?" Chloe mockingly asked looking her cousin up and down. Jacob smiled brightly, obviously taking her words as a compliment.

"Actually, I have a date" he said proudly. Both Chloe and Paul looked at him in disbelief.

"With who?" Chloe asked confused who he or had been asked on a date by.

"Bella, who else" Jacob said with a large grin on his face. "We're going to see 'Face Punch' at forks cinema" he explained. Both Paul and Chloe were now confused as the horror/action movie didn't really seem like a movie for a first date.

'Does she know it's a date?' Chloe thought to herself. She really didn't see what Jacob saw in the girl. She'd asked Embry and Quil multiple times about what was so attractive about the sickly pale girl that didn't seem to be getting any better anytime soon with bags under her eyes always ice cold to the touch.

However, even his two best friends were puzzled by his attraction to the girl. They explained that he only recently seemed to be attracted to the girl, not even when she had first arrived had he seemed so obsessed about the girl. Nonetheless Chloe wouldn't stand in her cousin's way it would be unfair.

"Well good luck on the date, make sure you stick by Billy's rules to be home before 10" Chloe said sweetly, trying to be encouraging but Jacob just brushed it off.

"Please the film doesn't start till 8, I'm going over now to at hers until it's time" Jacob explained as if he was trying too hard to play down his excitement. "And those are his rules for you two not me" he stated with a smirk. It was then the three was Bella's orange truck pull down the road

"Later" he said with a wave before jogging along to meet the truck. Chloe and Paul watched as he got in and Chloe gave a noise of voiced disbelief.

"So when I go on a date I have a curfew but Jacob doesn't, favourite much" she voiced aloud.

"More you being favourite and Billy wanting you safe, plus your younger than him and we're more serious than they would be" Paul tried to reason but Chloe just looked up at him as if to say 'really?'

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please reveiws and let me know your thoughts no matter how being or small.
