HEY ALL!

I shuffled around slightly so I could see more of Paul, on hand on the steering wheel the other was holding his head up, I pulled one leg up onto the seat as we carried on down the road, listening to the radio I wiped the window and looked out at the passing trees and buildings. After a while Paul pulled in to a car park, he pulled the emergency brake on and looked at me I gave him a smile. I looked around it wasn't too busy.

We both climbed out as he walked away and got a trolley, I took it from him and leaned on the handle and pushed myself and pulled my feet up as I glided across the parking lot. I heard Paul laugh at me, I loved his laugh tough it was deep it was pure, he had a good sense of humour as well, I put my feet down and skidded to a stop, I looked around waiting for him tuning looking for him, a smile still on his face. We walked into the shop I just followed where Paul went looking around at all the different things for sale, wondering what they were all for. He just picked up different things inspected them, checked the price and then put them in the trolley, I kept gliding along, a man gave me a funny look as I glided past him, he must have been about 50 he has a scruffy plaid jacket on and ripped jeans, his wool had had seen cleaner days. I just put my feet down laughing to myself, Paul just looked over his shoulder and gave me a wink. I bit my lip and felt my face go red.

'So what is all this for?' I asked Paul as the cart was getting fuller

'The house' he said absent mindedly as he concentrated checking which size loop thing he needed, I had no idea what the fixings were for or where they would be used in the house, I was happy just looking and going around the aisles.

'Oh right' I said peering over at all the different bits he had put into the trolley.

'Yeah, well it needs fixing up really before it falls down' he said placing what he had in his hand in the trolley and smiled at me he held onto the other end of the trolley as he continued down the aisle

'Very Mr D.I.Y' I teased him smiling

'You know it' he winked again we went down the last few aisles, I just watched him, I could watch him all day, talk all night. Sit in silence I didn't mind he took all the bad away, though he had caused me pain when he first imprinted, it was being away from him which was the worst.

I put everything on the belt Paul had gone to get something else, the check out boy looked at me as though he couldn't believe a woman was there, I put everything on, there was so much. I bent and picked all the things up which Paul had basically just thrown into the trolley, the check out boy started to scan the items through, I felt Palus hand run along the bottom of my back and he leaned over and put some taps and other bits on the belt, Paul now had the check out boys attention. I bagged it up at the other end, Paul lifted them into the trolley. As though they were half empty

'So that is $243.45c then, please' the check out boy said looking at his till I was surprised at the cost, though Paul just pulled the wallet from his back pocket and flicked through some cash, a lot of cash, counted it again and passed it over to the boy, who then counted it and put it though the till, Paul thanked him as he took his change and put it in his pocket, I pushed the trolley out to the truck, Paul put it all in the buck. I pushed the trolley to the little trolley park having one last glide, I pushed it into the others and walked back to the truck. I climbed in, the engine was on and warming up. This was fun.

'What next?' I asked enjoying it just us two

'Back to mine to put this away, then some lunch?' he asked me I nodded, we chatted on the way back about what his plans were with the house. He was so clever, I helped him put all the bits into his work room, there there were, ladders, tape measures, saws and a whole host of other things.

'Shouldn't this all go in a shed?' I asked him putting a bag down near a door

'Yeah but I feel it is safer in the house, and I don't have to spend ages looking for it all' he said moving some things around so the bags would be able fit in the room.

'Clever' I admitted

We put the last bags in and Paul sorted them out and wrote on the bags what was in them. I went and made us both a drink. He walked out the room and closed the door and walked over, I passed him, his drink he took a long drink.

We finished our drinks and agreed to go to the diner for some lunch.

We sat in a corner booth talking quietly.

'So will there be a fight then, between Edward and his family?' I asked him and I picked at my food not feeling too hungry.

'Yeah, so Edward has left those leaches, so he has gone against his own kind so yeah they will fight, but unless they come on our land it is nothing to do with us' he said looking at my food, he was halfway through his his, he glanced around, he did that a lot looking, checking and seeing who was about, though he could hear and sense what was going on it was as though he couldn't miss anything.

'Gosh' I said eating some of the salad I took a sip of my drink and sat back taking a breath

'How can he do that to people, turn them in to monsters, into a danger?' I asked just so confused

'Because he can, he has gone rogue, they have their own council like our elders they have people that say what they can and can't do, Edward has essentially turned against those as well' Paul said leaning against the table his size not so intimidating more comforting now. I just shook my head

'Why didn't he turn me? He had every chance to, there was nothing stopping him?' I asked looking at the salad, Pauls still going into him. His fork then stilled.

'Don't think like that' he said putting his fork down

'But I do, he said he could make all this pain go away' I said looking up at him

'What pain?' Paul said concerned

'That he could see in my mind' I said quietly

'Come on, you need to eat' he said pushing my food closer to me. I just moved closer to him, I felt his arm come around me, I ate some more, but not all of it. I just ended up leaning against him, feeling warm and happy.

We split the bill I went round the back and saw Sue and told her what was going on and gave her a big hug

'You staying at Pauls?' Sue asked me

'I don't know, I'll text you' I said giving her another hug

'Take care, everything will work out, just focus on the good okay' she said rubbing my arm

I walked back out Paul was waiting for me, we went in his truck as he drove us back to his, he put the heating on. I text the girls back and messaged them for a while curled up on the sofa, I flicked though the old messages with my Aunt and Uncle. Paul sat down I glanced up at him I looked it was half Three

'You off soon?' I asked him he just nodded rolling his eyes

'Thanks for a lovely day' I smiled at him

'You going back to Sues, or do you want to stay here?' he asked shuffling around

'I don't know, what time will you be back?' I asked holding onto my legs

'About half Ten, not late' he said turning to me

'Oh, well you probably want to relax and do jobs around the house, I'll get in the way, so I'll go back to Sues, then I won't stop you' I started feeling stupid for thinking he wanted me here, he was only being polite.

'Lil I'd like it if you stayed' he cut in placing his hand on mine, I just smiled as I felt my face go red, I tugged on my arms, I landed on his chest, wrapping my arms around him, he wrapped his large arms around me tightly, he pulled his legs onto the sofa so I was laying on him, we stayed like this for 15 minuets, I could stay there all night, I looked at the clock.

'You'll be late' I said huffing not wanting him to go

'Not yet' he moaned and pouted pulling me back against him this made me laugh, my face was close to his.

'Sam won't be happy' I said to him, he rolled his eyes and looked down at me, he sat up pushing me up at the same time. He stretched and groaned.

'Okay, I'll be back soon, make yourself at home, lock the doors pull the curtains, you'll be safe here okay?' he asked checking my face I nodded looking at him

'Okay, thank you, I hope it goes well for you tonight' I said taking a deep breath, he leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of my head my heart skipped a beat, I loved it when he done this.

I watched some T.V and drank some beer and messaged the girls and Seth, he was so sweet, he made sure that I was okay. It was nearly 9Pm I was so sleepy, I tidied up my mess and went and had a shower, I found my P.J's and climbed into bed, I switched the radio on and shuffled down the sheets smelling Paul, I smiled and closed my eyes just resting felling my body slowly relax, I hoped he would be back soon.

My eyes opened when the big light was switched off, I saw Paul he had just the side lights on, I glanced at the clock on the radio, which was still on it was 11:34pm, he was talking and mumbling about something to himself he didn't sound too happy, I had my face covered with the sheets I moved so I could peek out, I watched as he moved across the room, he pulled his his now dirty shirt off and threw it in the corner of the room, the light showing his body off, he ran his hand through his hair, letting out a little huff, he pulled his cut offs off, I had to stop myself from gasping, I though he was going to have pants on, but he was just naked his back still to me, he started to turn towards me, I just closed my eyes trying not to move I heard him walk closer to me, my heart was racing, the next thing I heard was the shower turn on, I slowly opened one eye, Paul had gone, he was humming to himself in the shower, the image of his body on my mind, he was like a model, I thought about my body, a little lumpy, I wondered what sort of girls he used to go for on a night out, I pushed those thoughts out of my head.

After a while the shower shut off, I felt the bed sink down on one side as he climbed in, he seemed to hesitate for a while, maybe I was meant to sleep in the spare room, I've just climbed into his bed, I didn't know what to do, I opened my eyes he was sitting his back to me I saw he had some trackie bottoms on now. I didn't know what to d, he must have realised I was awake. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes wide.

'You're back' I said smiling he turned around looking at me, his eyes soft and looking so tired

'Sorry did I wake you up?' he asked climbing under the sheets and laying his head down on the soft pillow

'No, I was just listening to the radio' I smiled at him pulling the sheets down a little more I moved around feeling the warmth from his direction I was feeling so tired.

'I didn't mean to be back so late, just..' he sighed running his hand over his face slowly

'It's okay, you're back now' I said moving closer to him I reached my hand out to him I felt him take it and press it against his lips I just looked at his face. I smiled and closed my eyes. Paul then placed his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to his body, I ran my hand along his jaw line, his eyes opened and focused on me.

'You look so sleepy' I whispered to him

'I'm always tired' he replied letting me continue to run my hand along his jaw.

'Sleep then' I said taking my hand away from his face I snuggled closer to him. I fell asleep all wrapped up in him.

I woke up early morning Paul was fast asleep, his breathing deep, his arms still around me, I made sure he was asleep and watched him for a while, I stretched my neck up and placed a kiss on his jaw and settled down again. I never felt so safe, I looked at his face, I ran my hands over his chest softly, it was so warm. I closed my eyes and carried on sleeping.

I woke up my back to Paul, still so close to each other, I looked at the clock it was nearly 10am, I needed to pee. I looked behind me Paul was still sound asleep, I moved away from him quietly and went to the bathroom yawning and stretching, I had a pee and flushed the Loo, he was still sound asleep, I sat on the chair in the corner of the room near the window and watched him for a while. I checked my phone it was a Saturday, I moved over to him and placed a kiss on his cheek, my hair brushing against his face as I moved away, I went downstairs, I opened some of the drapes letting the morning light into the rooms. I looked at what he had in his fridge, I pored us both a glass of juice, I cracked some eggs, it will be nothing like his amazing breakfast, I made sure I done Paul twice as many, I got some bacon cooking and fried some bread. I found some beans and heated them up, I made some pancakes. I rinsed everything and put it in the dish washer and wiped down the surfaces, I was trying to figure out how it went on when suddenly.

'LIL? LILY?' Paul shouted loudly from upstairs, it made me jump I just turned around and straightened up and started to go up the stairs.

'LILY?' his voice husk with sleep and panic

'Paul' I called running up the stairs I went into the room, he was sitting up in bed, looking around everywhere.

'Paul what's wrong?' I asked walking in the room worried about him

'OH god' he climbed out of bed and scooped me up in his arms he buried his head down near mine

'I thought you'd left I thought, maybe it was a dream' he said I could feel his heart beating so fast

'No I was just making some breakfast' I said bemused by how worried he was he just kept holding on to me.

'Paul' I said moving away from him looking at him, he looked rested now though still worried

'I just though that' he was still half asleep

'Come on' I took his hand and led him downstairs he sat at the table and yawned, I put the food which was getting cold, in front of him and then the drink, he blinked at it as he rubbed his eyes.

'Eat something' I said worried about him he thanked me and started eating, I had a smaller portion and ate mine as I continued to clean up and put the egg shells and packaging in the trash. I looked over at him, he was so vulnerable yet had such a bad reputation for being a lone ranger, who didn't care for anyone but himself. He was just looking at his food. I put my plate in the wash. I moved over to him and at next to him.

'It's good' he said glancing at me with a smirk on his face

'Thanks' I laughed taking my hair out and making it a little neater.

'Thank you' he said looking at me, holding my gaze this time

'You're welcome thank you for letting me stay over' I said rubbing my hands together, feeling them getting clammy.

'I'm going to get ready' I said after a while going up stairs and hopping in the shower, I put my underwear on and looked at what Sue had packed me, I pulled on the same dark green jeans and there was a large knit jumper, I pulled them on and sorted my hair out and put some make up on, I re-packed my bag and took it all downstairs, Paul had his head in his hands, his plate empty, I looked he had his eyes closed I moved the plate from him. The washer was on, the radio was on, I sung along to the radio. Emily text me.

Sam meeting with Cullens this afternoon

I raised my eyebrows why would Sam be meeting them? It must be bad. I looked at Paul, I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his and placed a kiss on his bare shoulder, his eye opened.

'You're asleep again' I told him softly he just grumbled and scrunched his face up

'Go back to bed' I told him, he shook his head, I let him go and opened the rest of the curtains, he went upstairs I heard the shower turn on, I thought about creeping upstairs and joining him, I was shocked by my thoughts, I brushed it all aside, there was a knock at the door.

I opened it, Seth stood there.

'Hey Lil!' he beamed at me

'Sethy!' I called out and the my arms around him

Seth came in and we sat chatting about what had been going on with everyone. The shower shut off after a while.

'I got Emilys text' I showed it to him

'Yeah it is strange I came over to make sure you're okay, I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt and Uncle' he said I just gave him a small, sad smile

'Thanks' I said quietly I heard foot steps coming down the stairs, we both looked as Paul appeared in a t-shirt and cut-offs.

'Mornin' pup' he called out while giving me a wink I bit my lip as I looked away, Seth just huffed

'Anyway this morning we are all going to the beach' Seth told me

'It's to cold for the beach' I said surprised

'Wrap up warm then' the said standing up, he nodded to Paul and walked out.

It fell silent just the radio on

'Are we going?' I asked him

'Do you want to?' he asked getting some hot drinks for us

'Yeah it sounds like fun' I smiled at him

'Then we will go' he said loudly making me laugh

I shouldered my bag as we got to the door.

'Thanks for letting me stay' I said looking t him, his face fell slightly

'You're welcome it was nice', he locked the door behind us, he drove me to Seths and I dropped my bag off and put some warmer layers on as well as a hat and gloves. I climbed in the truck, Paul just looked t laughed at me

'Warm?' he asked I nodded feeling better.

We pulled up along the other trucks and cars. I saw he others playing foot ball, while the girls sat wrapped up. It wasn't breezy just chilly. Paul shut the engine off, he climbed out and opened the door for me.

'Oh' I said surprised at fast he had got there, I moved ready to get out, we locked eyes, he took my gloved hand in his warm large hand, my other went onto his chest

'PAUL!' Quill called out, Paul growled under his breath

'I'll kill him' he said getting angry

'You're to sweet for that' I said softly, he looked back at me my hand moved to the back of his neck

'Not as sweet as you think I am' he said a twinkle in his eye

'Rally?' I asked him he winked at me

'Really' he said in a slightly husky voice my heart started to beat quickly

'PAUL! IO IO LOOK!' Quill and Embry shouted out, I took my hands from Paul to cover my face, Paul growled louder this time.

'FUCK OFF' his loud voice boomed out across the beach

'Ohh' They both teased and called out

'Dick heads' he said angry he pulled my hand away from my face, I just laughed, I climbed out of the truck, I looked as Beth and Emily were having a go at Quill and Embry. I didn't take Pauls hand I just walked close to him. The girls called me over, I jogged over to them, hugged them and started talking as soon as I got there. Glancing back at Paul who was about to chase Quill and Embry who were pushing their luck. i just laughed and watched them.

Thanks to you guys who are sticking with me!
