Well, here is another little chapter! I hope you enjoy it for your weekend. I was debating how I wanted the next several chapters to go but am happy with them. I hope you agree. :-)
Thanks for keeping me staying on the path itsmereading. I don't know where we would be otherwise.
SM owns Twilight. I just like to play when the kids allow. Enjoy!
Chapter 26
Paul
While there is nothing I want to do more than get Bella closure for these cases that she is involved with, I am grateful for the time together. She really is becoming a part of who I am. I try to see her everyday. I feel lost when I don't. We go walking nearly daily, sometimes we run the beach. It is my favorite time of day whenever I spend it with her, she makes me happy.
I was talking to Biers as my shift was ending. He has started to not be an asshole about Bella, and it is about damn time. This worries me since I don't think they have met. IF they have not many times. He had better not be falling for her too! She doesn't need another guy to fall for her! It is her choice if she were to want to date me.
Today, I am talking to Chief Black. Not Billy. Not Jake's Dad. Isabella's Father. I need advice and to maybe get his blessing to date her if the subject came up. Am I worried? Of course I am! I'm about ready to shit a brick! I already arranged for Bella and Jake to be at the beach. Quil and Embry may show up cause they are attached to Jake's hip. Scary. Thought.
I get to Chief Black's door and knock on it. I am standing there for a while which is not unheard of since Chief Black is in a wheelchair. But the man is known for these kind of things to make you sweat it out. I have an idea that he knows why I am here. I might be out here for a while then.
After several minutes I knock again. I think I hear laughter inside. Great. Multiple people are here for this. I know I hear Sam. Asshole knew I was coming here must have said something. I almost think I hear Old Quil. Maybe Harry? When did this become a council meeting?
The worst part is I hear my Chief in the mix. Is Biers in there too? Seth and Jared are here as well. There are a few other voices that I can't make out. This is beyond scary. I need to breath or I might pass out.
I knock again after another few minutes and the laughing stops. Shitless I am scared. I swear I hear the clicking sound of several guns. OK Paul you need to breath and not show fear. These men will smell it. God help me. Taha Aki, give me your guidance, especially if Bella is my imprint. She is my world.
I hear footsteps coming towards the front door. If I didn't know any better, snickering. Are we 12 year old girls? Before the door gets unlocked, I hear the clicks of several guns. Door unlocks and I see Old Quil.
"Oh hi son. Forgot you were coming. Come on in." The look on his face tells me I am royally fucked. God help me. If I die today, please keep Bella safe, put someone in place to do that. I nod, "Thank you sir." I walk into the toughest interview of my life to date.
