I'm getting total writers block lately but I'm trying to work through it. Bare with me.
The rest of the day was filled with me working on all the imprint and some family items while Paul day quietly in the kitchen. He knew I was busy and didn't overstep, which I appreciated. He brought me coffee and an omelette at one point in which I said thank you before returning to work. About an hour later he had to come back and grab the items to reheat them for me, I took the hint next time he brought them back and ate them. It was around 9pm when I was finally done with this set of items so when I got up to stretch and go check on a now very quiet Paul I found him asleep on the kitchen floor. I chuckled before just going in the living room and grabbing the blanket off the back of the couh to cover him up with.
"Goodnight," I whispered before standing up and going back into the living room. I grabbed all the items and transported to Emily's, of course the gang was in the kitchen to which when they saw me all the boys screamed.
"I thought you guys were like fierce protectors," I teased them as I laid the items out. "Please grab what is yours," I stated as I watched all the girls take their items and Quil take Claire's to go slip on the wrist of the toddler sleeping in the living room.
"Quil you think you could get these to your grandparents tonight? Seth, these to your parents? Jacob, this to Charlie? Embry, your mom?" I handed each sets of wedding rings or a watch for them to get to them asap. They understood the importance and all took off out the front door to go deliver them all. Good boys.
"Sam, I will have your chains and the half vampires item done by tomorrow night," I promised before shaking hands with him. He was grateful as he looked at Emily fiddle with her wedding ring, he knew I was helping protecting everyone he loved and for that he was grateful.
"I owe you," he told me in which I shook my head at.
"This is why I'm here Sam, to pay my debt to your tribe," I placed my hand on his shoulder and smiled. I knew I should be getting home before Paul noticed I was gone but as soon as I went to say goodbye the devil himself busted through the front door.
"Is she here?" He shouted out. As he rounded the corner and saw me he marched over and picked me up in a giant hug.
"I was terrified, I thought something happened to you!" He was panicked, sweat rolled off of him. He had ran here all the way from my house in human form. I felt bad, I guess I should have told him.
"I'm sorry, you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you. But I had to get all humans their items," I knew he understood the urgency when he heard my voice. He nodded as he sat me back down on my feet. Emily walked over to me and handed me Tupperware full of cookies.
"For the road and a token of my appreciation," she kissed my cheek before grabbing Sams hand and pulling him down the hallway. I looked back up at Paul who was still staring at me. I sighed knowing I couldn't transport again for the night, I burned myself out...again.
"Walk me home?" I have a small smile before heading towards the front door. I knew he would follow. But unfortunately as soon as I walked outside the cold wind whipped against me. I forgot it was freezing. Paul noticed and ran back inside to grab my a jacket hanging up by the door. He came back out and wrapped a puffy purple jacket on me. I nodded in thanks, making a note to myself to get a winter coat asap from Alice.
"Purple looks good on you," Paul said after awhile. I was glad that he came with me because the woods was hard to navigate in the dark.
"Always been a favorite color," I told him as he helped me over a tree root. We fell back in silence. Not uncomfortable. Just a silence. He knew I was tired and wasn't pushing. We were just about to the house when he stopped, I thought since we could see my house he was just letting me go but then I noticed it.
White flakes.
