If I thought I was going to have a nice lie in this morning I was bloody wrong. Instead at 7 IN THE MORNING there was banging on my front door, Paul slept right through it even with his heightened hearing. At my front door was a very distressed looking Collin, now Collin was a lovely boy the quieter one of the group so I have no idea why he was banging on my door at 7.
"Hey Collin why are you here?" I asked getting straight to the point after letting him in
"Well I was on my way back from patrol when I saw her" he said dreamily
"Ok Col you're going to have to expand on that, who your mum, sister, family member, friend, friend sister, friend sister cheating on someone? Come on give me a little more rope" I said growing annoyed
"Her." please say he is going to add more to that or I will kill him "The girl of my dreams, the one, my imprint" he said even more dreamily
"Well congrats I wish you a very happy and long life with her but this doesn't explain why you are waking me up so early on my lie in day" I said still annoyed but not as much
"I went to see Sam cause you know he's always good for advice but he sent me away cause of the baby, I know Jared has your baby for today so I didn't know who else to turn to, she's prefect, she was moving into the house next door when I saw her just as I was walking through my front door. I love her soo much" he whined like a baby
"Ok Collin this is what we are going to do considering I'm awake now. One I'm going to get Paul to come give you some kind of pep talk. Two you are then going to use my shower. Three you and I are going to give this girl a visit you can say hello welcome her here and then invite her to the beach for a get together. Ok?" I said in my no nonsense voice I always use with Paul
"But what if she rejects me?" he whined
"Ok Col I want you to pull your big boy pants up getting rid of your nappy and be a fucking man!" I shouted before walking upstairs to wake Paul
"Paul honey, Collin is downstairs he just imprinted on some new girl so he needs some advice, which you are going to give him. Be nice he's a bit shaken up" I ordered before going to shower and dress luckily I was getting less fat every day the beauty of a high metabolism, once I was dressed I saw Paul and Collin still having a chat. I'm pretty sure this is the longest they've every talked
"Right boys how about I make some breakfast? Collin why don't you go shower while I cook I'll save you a plate" I said in my nice voice I use when I've got my own way
Paul followed me into the kitchen before pouting at me "What the hell do you want" I said while pottering around finding the ingredients I was looking for
"Nothing really it's just my girlfriend whom I love dearly hasn't given me any attention or a kiss" he pouted still when he was pouting he looked even more like Arlo
"What is the world coming to, I gave you a child two weeks ago is that not enough? Anyway I gave you a hell of a lot of attention last night" he stopped pouting and started smirking "but considering I'm in a charitable mood you can have a kiss" I said before walking over to him planting a kiss on his head while I went to turn away he had grabbed me and thrown me onto his lap before kissing me deeply once he pulled away he murmured "this is what I wanted" before kissing me again
"That's fucking gross cut it out" another whiny voice moaned
"Locklear what the hell you doing in my house" I said before getting off of Paul's lap and walking over to Brady
"I knew Collin was here and I smelt food so here I am" he sing songed before walking over to the stove and smelling all my cooking
"Fine go sit down" I said not feeling like arguing with him considering he idolised Paul why I don't know
"Wow having a kid has made you soft" he notices
"Trust me Brady she isn't at all" Collin said walking in now smelling much nicer and looking cleaner, then all 3 boys sat down at the table and waited for their food, lazy gits, after demolishing all the food and cleaning it up I am not their servant they all sat in the living room
"Ok this is what is going to happen, Paul and Brady you two are going to round up everyone down at the beach for say 12. While Collin and I are going to go meet his imprint and bring her down. Paul please make sure that Kim hasn't smothered Arlo to death" I ordered before pulling Collin out of the house "Ok Collin where does she live?" I asked and we walked in the direction, it was the street up from where Paul and I live. Right come on go knock on the door, I said before taking the dish out of his hands I had made a simple dessert as a kind of welcome thing, well I say made I just took out the one I had bought and placed it on a dish so it looked home made a middle aged pretty woman opened the door, you could tell they were not descendants of here because of her pale skin and red hair and her light blue eyes
"Hello I'm Ariella Harlow and this is Collin Littlesea he lives next door while I live in the street down. We came over to see how you are settling in and to bring you a dish as a sort of welcome to the area." I smiled I don't think I've ever been this polite before
"Oh well thank you I'm Tina Winters and I have a daughter who is upstairs called Celia. Won't you come in?" she asked smiling wildly we both said thank you before taking our shoes off and entering, boxes lay unopened cluttering the foyer "please excuse the mess we haven't finished unpacking yet" she apologised
"Oh no don't worry it's fine, my boyfriend and some of his friends can help you if you want they have a business of building, decorating and maintenance but they are big and strong just like Collin here" I said
"Oh thank you very much, the help is needed, you say boyfriend how old are you may I ask?" she asked anyway
"Oh Collin here is 15 while I'm 18 and just graduated my boyfriend and his friends are 18 and the boss is in his early twenties" I said trying to throw in Collin as well
"Oh how marvellous my daughter is 15 as well, 16 in December" she smiled
"Collin is 16 in a few weeks actually" I said I will push these two together if it kills me
"Well that is something, hold on let me call her down, Celia darling we have guests" she shouted upstairs a coming could be heard through the floorboards then a petite girl with the same eyes as her mother and a more darker red almost brown hair colour, her skin was more tanned tan her mother's as well
"Hello nice to meet you I'm Celia" she said to the two of us but was looking at Collin
"Hi I'm Collin and this is Ariella" he said pointing in my direction I just smiled at the mother in a look how nice they are together sort of way
"Oh are you related?" she asked sort of hinting to see if we were dating I'm not some cougar
"No I work with her brother sometimes" he said rolling off the excuse told to everyone she smiled even wilder now
"Well we are having a little get together later on so did you want to join you can meet some more people before school" I asked for Collin
"Oh Celia isn't that nice, she loved to" her mom answered for her the girl rolled her eyes before nodded
"Good, Collin why don't you show Celia the area first I'll meet you down there" I said before ushering them out
"Would you like something to drink dear?" Tina asked me
"No thank you, if you don't mind me asking why did you move here?" I asked being nosey
"No its fine, we used to live in California not LA a more secluded part, I never did like big cities. Well back to the point I got a job as a nurse in forks and saw this house for sale and fell in love with it, we needed a change of place anyway we've been stuck in that old house for too long, her father died when she was only 2 and the house reminds us of him so a fresh start I thought would do us good" she said only once dropping her smile
"I'm sorry to hear that, I lost my parents when I was 2 as well, they died in a car crash so my grandmother brought me up" I said
"She did I good job I see, it's nice to know there are friendly people in the area" she said
"I'm not too sure about that" I laughed "I've just had a baby boy Arlo 2 weeks ago actually, and I didn't have a good temper in school, but I can assure you that Collin and all of our friends are all very nice people. But be aware there are rumours flying around like they always do in a small town. Oh I forgot to mention a friend of mine's mother is a nurse up in forks as well, sure Clearwater I can introduce you if you like?" I said changing the conversation
"From what I have seen today you seem a lovely girl, I bet your son is beautiful, idle gossip means nothing to me dear. But thank you very much for the offer, I'd really appreciate that" she smiled
"Hold on I'll ring her now" I said before phoning sue she of course knew about Tina and was planning on dropping by anyway "she said she will drop by sometime today, I'll also make sure to bring the boys over later on for you to meet and tell them what to do. I must be off I have to go get my son. It is nice to meet you" I said before driving off to the beach, everyone was already there I had got a bit distracted oops
"Took your time didn't you huh? Yes I did ask to look after your son but this is ridiculous" Kim ranted the moment I got to the group
"Ok I'm sorry I was speaking to Collin's imprint's mom for ages and I also got the boys a job so pipe down" I said before taking Arlo and smothering him in kisses
