Thank you and hello to all you knew beautiful followers and favourites
We watched the guys running around play soccer, I just kept my eyes on Paul, he played dirty, tripping others and pushing them out of the way, Jake was agile as anything it was surprising considering his size the sand flying behind them as they kicked the ball around, toward the makeshift goal.
'Sooo' Kim said next to me I just looked at her she had a large scarf on and a bobble hat
'What is I like at Pauls?' she said the others looking at me, I rolled my eyes I knew this was coming, I thought about my reply for a second or two, glancing over at the guys as I heard them all cheering
'Nice, it is lovely, a big place, it is empty though,' I told them they were hanging on to what I was saying
'What is his bed like?' Beth asked that wicked smile on her face, she lent forwards, rubbing her gloved hands together
'BETH' Emily said surprised though she was waiting for my reply eagerly Kim just laughed, and playfully pushed Beth on her arm
'Warm, cosy' I said to them slowly
'Did you do it?' Kim asked they all fell silent
'No' I said shocked they would think that
'No?' Beth and Kim asked at the same time, I felt the heat creep up my neck.
'No, like we slept together, just like cuddled up' I said as they cooed
'So nothing?' Beth said again
'Paul is so sweet, and kind, nothing like what everyone thinks he is like' I said looking as he shoved hard into Quill, Paul smiling as he fell to the ground
'You'll ruin his reputation' Kim laughed
'Like did you make out?' Beth butted in again
'No I don't have the 'horn' like you do' I said making her fall silent, we fell back into gossiping.
Jarad ran over and wrapped his arms around Kim she smiled and placed her hands on his arms, he leant over and placing a kiss on her cheek
'Get off, you're all hot and sweaty' she said pushing him away seeming grossed out
'You didn't mind last night' he growled in her ear
'Oh my God'! Emily and I said at the same time looking at each other Kim ordering him to leave. His loud laugh echoing out across the beach, the guys cheered him on, Kim had a scowl on her face that eventually turned into a smile and just rolled her eyes at Jarad.
We were all laughing loud and hard as Beth done a hilarious impersonation of a guy she met the other night, it was so funny.
'Hey what's a girl like you doing in a place like this?' She mocked him, we all groaned at how cheesy it was
'So I held up my cup and told him 'to drink' like what does he think I am there to do? Play golf?' she explained which made us laugh even harder, I pushed my hat up from my eyes so I could see better, Kim and Emily were laughing and asking her questions.
'So what was his response?' Kim asked eagerly
'Oh you know what you want, I like that. You can boss me about' Beth did a deep tone
'No?! Yuck, why do guys think they have a chance?' I questioned Beth, she just shrugged
I glanced over at the guys Paul was looking our way I gave him a small wave, he stopped and smiled Jake took this as a chance to get the ball from him, Pauls face dropped and went after him I smiled and laughed to myself.
'So yeah we ended up as his place' she said waggling her eyebrows, we all booed her as she held her hands up and laughed it off.
We all stood opposite each other Paul, Seth, Beth, Embry against Me, Kim Jarad and Quill while Emily and Sam were Referees. The girls just ran for spaces while the guys barged into each other, Seth had the ball dribbling it towards me, he looked and smirked at me, I got ready for him I tried to tackle the ball off of him with little success, he scored a goal, they cheered, I just flipped him off after 15 minuets the girls were fed up. Paul had the ball, I ran after him he just passed me with ease, I huffed
'RIGHT FOOTBALL' I shouted out and this time it was better everyone was involved the guys were gentle on the girls but didn't hold back on their own. Paul had the ball again, I ran over to him, he spotted me, he slowed down slightly
'Wait' I said pretending to be hurt he stopped and turned I walked over to him, I moved my lips close to his, this took him by surprise.
'Thanks' I whispered and took the ball form him and ran and passed it to Quill. Paul just stood there, taking it all in.
Embry had the ball heading my way, I ran over keeping my hat on and tackled him he just carried on, I let go and took a run and jump onto his back which just ended up in a piggyback, I tried reaching for the ball but he carried on I saw Kim running almost shouting a battle cry over to Embry as well as she basically just hugged him he stood laughing as everyone else did, though he did drop the ball Kim grabbed it and ran.
I climbed off of Embry and watched Kim running as she cried out she jumped up and down as she touched it on the ground Jarad ran over to her and swept her off of her feet, they kissed and celebrated.
We all headed back to Emily and Sams, I went with Kim as Seth went with Paul, They were serious when they were walking to the truck, since Paul had imprinted on me, Seth and Paul had become so close, I helped Emily pour drinks out as Sam sorted out the take away order, he went with Jake to go meet the Cullens as the food arrived the other kept an ear out for what was going on but we were safest together on the Reservation, the Cullens couldn't come on here unless Sam or the elders approved it, Beth put the music on as the Kitchen/Diner was the dancing and chilling area, I sat down on the sofa next to Paul my hat and gloves as well as my coat now off, I clinked my bottle of soda against his bottle of beer and offered him some food off of my piled up plate.
'Thanks' He said taking some and eating, as though he was starving, I looked around at everyone, he put his bottle of beer down and placed one arm on the back of the sofa behind me, I just smiled and watched everyone else as they chatted and danced. I smiled thinking about the lovely day we had all had, it was good to be surrounded by positivity. The worry of my Aunt and Uncle bothering me was getting less and less.
'Hey can we talk?' Paul asked shifting around
'Yeah sure' I put my drink down and ate some food, turning so that I was facing him.
'I was talking to Seth, and I have spoken to Sue' he started I just looked at him, confused
'I think it is best if you stay at mine, more, more often at least, I know that you're safe at mine, you can still be with Sue when I'm on patrol but I-' he looked around and lowered his voice
'I hate not being with you, and these past few nights I haven't actually been able to sleep' he said quietly
'Oh- right, um I mean-Are you sure?' I asked him
'Yeah, it is your choice though' he said looking nervous, I didn't have to think long about it.
'I'd love that' I smiled at him so happy he wanted it, his face relaxed I leaned on him and wrapped my arms around his chest as he kissed the top of my head.
'Get a room' Jarad called out who was dancing with Kim, Paul started to growl, I flipped him off and rubbed Pauls chest. We sat that way for the rest of the evening watching the others.
'So tonight, what are you doing?' I asked Paul looking up at him
'Well I'll meet with Sam and see what the plan is and what the Cullens have said' He sighed
'Okay well if I stay at Sues, then I can pack my things together then tomorrow I can sort my things out at yours and start doing the house?' I asked him
'Perfect' he smiled taking a sip of his drink.
'Same again?' he asked me taking my empty bottle
'Yes please' I smiled at him, Emily rushed over and sat net to me I excitedly told her what had happened
'Oh Lil that is brilliant, how exciting' Emily said, she was so sweet
'Yeah, It'll be interesting' I smiled at her. Kim and Emily always spoke about their devotion to their imprints, I really liked Paul I just felt there was something between us, almost stopping things between us, as though we were scared.
'You'll love it, you're meant to be together' she said excitedly
'I hope so' I said looking at Paul as he got our drinks he was so handsome
That night I put my clothes in the wash, Paul dropped me off before he went to meet Jake and Sam. Sue was more than happy for me to live with Paul though she was worried about how we would both cope, though Sue knew all about imprinting and I told her I would be over to see her. I slept like a log, though it did feel different without Paul, like something was missing.
A few weeks later Sue and I were packing the rest of my things, Seth had gone on patrol, Paul knocked on the front door, I got up and walked to the door. I had been spending 3 nights a week at his
'Morning' I smiled at him he looked tired again
'Hey' he walked in touching my arm
'How was last night?' I asked him he just paused
'Not good, I'll tell you later, okay?' he looked at me, no smile
'Sure' I smiled and offered him a drink
Paul lifted the few boxes I had as though they were empty and put them all in the back of his truck, I gave Sue a tight hug.
'See you soon' she said squeezing me tight
'See you Auntie Sue' I whispered back to her
I went to get in the truck I never heard
'Oi Paul, you hurt her' Sue said in a stern serious voice
'Never' he promised as she hugged him he smiled and walked towards me in the truck. I waved to her as we drove off.
I started un packing my few bits and putting stuff away I looked at my bits, I had some ornaments and things.
'Put them where you like,' Paul called from the Kitchen table looking over some papers, I smiled and placed hem around seeing where I liked them most. I had some photos of me and Mom but I had never put them up anywhere, I put them under the bed for safe keeping. I went to the kitchen I was hungry.
'What you doing?' I asked walking over to him looking at all the papers
'Sorting out the patrol rota' Paul sighed, the Cullens were telling Sam that Edward has been changing humans, though not just a few like hundreds of them for his so called army, the Cullens were talking about teaming up against him but Sam is weary encase the Cullens will turn on the Pack.
I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and rested my head on his shoulders, he kissed my arms and wrists, I crossed my legs and thought about the situation
'What about Bella?' I asked sitting down next to him
'What about her?' he said confused putting his pen down running his hand through his hair
'Well I know she hates Edward, at the end of the day he loved her, I'm sure Edward would still talk to Bells, he wouldn't hurt her, or what about his family? Like would she be able to talk to them? Bella is safe, Edward can't read her mind, the Cullens trust her, Bella could find the truth, I doubt Bella would but she could almost be a spy on the inside if Jake allowed it' I asked his face thought about it for a second, then his eyes opened and mouthed something to himself
'Genius' he said standing up, bending down quick and placing a kiss on my cheek as he rushed out of the house pulling his phone out, a couple of seconds later he door opened, a smile on his face.
'Back in a sec' he said I just laughed, I looked over the papers, his writing was amazing it was in Italics, so beautiful.
I looked through his cupboards, I found some flour and cocoa powder, some eggs and butter, I weighed everything out, with a recipe on my phone I turned the oven on to warm it up, I made cupcakes and cookies. I rummaged around while they were cooking to find some ins to keep them in, I found some, they were old I washed them up and lined them with tissue. The timer went off, I got them out and let them cool turning the oven off, I washed up what I had used and started making the icing I was humming along to the radio.
'Smells good' Paul called out as he walked in later, seeming happier
'You haven't tasted it yet!' I said back to him I looked up he sat at the breakfast bar looking at the cookies.
'I hope you don't mind me doing this' I said cautiously
'No do what you like' he said un-phased his eye landed on the tins, he looked at them for a while.
'Were they your Moms?' I asked him
'Yeah' he nodded still looking at the tins
'Did she cook much?' I asked him
'Yeah, she loved to cook' he smiled turning back to the cookie picking one up and biting into it
'Hey' I said swatting him away
'They are good' he said surprised
'Cheeky' I said turning back to my icing I heard his laugh, I cut the tops off of the cup cakes, and piled the icing in, and split the top in two to make them fairy cakes. Paul watched as I did it, his eyes following my hands. I took a spoon and scooped a load of icing onto it, then another one I handed one to Paul and I put the other one in my mouth. I smiled and took the spoon out clean and put it in the washing. I placed the cupcakes in the tins and carefully put the lid on I had left 2 of them out, Paul was tucking into his. I took the case off and ate it, making a mess, I leaned over the counter, I had icing on my nose, I wiped my face, Paul laughed. We sat opposite each other smiling.
'So where did you go?' I asked covering my mouth as I was still eating
'To see Sam you gave me an idea, I thought Bella could talk to the Cullens and then she could get more info, encase they are lying to us, but Sam said it is up to Bella if she helps us' he said raising his eyebrow looking at cupcake as he finished it off
'Oh right, I'm sure Bella would want to help, I mean her and Jake are like an item anyway' I said thinking
'Yeah well I doubt she will' he said in a flat tone
'Give her a chance' I said taking the empty wrapper from him and putting it in the bin, wiping up the mess,
'Bella is too scared, like a mouse' Paul said leaning back
'Really? I think Bella is so strong, she left Edward' I said reminding hi he just nodded thinking
'So what are we doing first?' I asked him leaning back onto the counter
'well I thought we could start by putting the lamp shades up then get ready to decorate, we need some shelves up and some furniture to put out' he said lipping though a note pad.
'Okay' I said following, I climbed the ladder, as he passed me the lamp shades, I took the bulbs out and put the shades up.
'Why am I doing this?' I asked him
'You have to earn your keep' he said with a smug grin I just rolled my eyes
'Fair enough' I said making sure it wasn't going to fall of I limbed down and looked, I moved the ladder to the other bulbs, my arms were starting to ache as I was reaching up for a while, I shook them down by my side for a while. Paul cam out with a lamp shade, well a bottle, an old drink bottle I admired it.
'This is so cool!' I smiled at it looking at it, I fitted it and checked it out, it was quite fiddly, I climbed down and went over to the light switch.
'Wait' Paul said as he jogged over and shut all the curtains I switched the switch they all lit up and all lit the room much nicer, the green bottles over the kitchen lit it beautifully.
'They look brilliant' I said looking at him as he nodded in agreement. I looked at the time it was nearly 1pm. We then started to moved the furniture out of the way of the walls and took the curtains down. Paul got some dust sheets as we covered up the furniture. I looked at what I was wearing. I ran upstairs and put on some old dungarees, just a strappy top underneath. He looked at me as I came back, my hair tied up.
'What?' I asked him
'Nothing' he said smiling looking away
'I don't want to get paint everywhere' I said looking at the colours he just had a shirt and cut offs on as always.
I shook the pain tin up, Paul said he would do the ceiling while I started on the walls, it would take a few days to get it all done, they were the same colours but the paint had marks, scuffs and I felt like this was a fresh start for us both as so many other girls must have seen these walls, I got a screwdriver and tried to pry the lid open on the tin, it popped open, good job Paul had sheets on the floor, I picked the lid up quickly and poured the pain into the roller Tray, Paul was already working on the ceiling, we just had the radio on and the windows open. It was nice to be close to each other, as well as everything going on, this all seemed too normal, my shoulder was starting to hurt and play me up. I just used my good arm and gave my other shoulder a rest, reaching up had made it tender.
Hope you enjoyed it! Any kind of requests?
