Chapter Three 'The Date'
Bella had went back to school that Monday and was walking through the halls. She was almost late for her next class and someone stepped in front of her. "Hey," Paul said causing her to fall.
"Ugh Paul," Bella said causing him to laugh and he helped her up. "That wasn't funny," she said with her crossed her arms against her chest.
"It kind of was," Paul said picking up his books for her. "Its been a year since I have been in a high school feels like I am young again," he said causing her to smile up at him.
"What are you doing here?" Bella asked. "I mean they have a high school in La Push," she said.
"True," Paul said nodding her head. "But they don't have a Bella," he said causing her to blush. "Now you said I could see you again if I was lucky," he said.
"I did say that," Bella said softly.
"Well," Paul said coming closer to her. "I made my own luck," he said causing her to laugh. "Let me take you to dinner tonight?" He asked. "I will make sure you get home early because of the school night," he said causing her to look down. "Come on please," he said.
"I don't know Paul," Bella said in a low voice and he got down on his knees.
"I will beg," Paul said softly. "And I will beg so loud that people will come out," he said getting louder.
"Okay," Bella said causing him to stand up smiling. "I will go out with you," he said. "Pick me up a seven tonight," she said. "But I got to get to class," she said firmly.
"Okay," Paul said kissing her on the cheek and then left the school. Bella felt her heart start beating fast once again and she went to class with a smile on her face.
Bella that was night was so nervous about her date with Paul. She had never been this nervous since she was around Edward. Her father came into the room and looked at her with a smile.
"You look beautiful," Charlie said. "So this guy Paul is a friend of Jacob's?" He asked causing her to nod.
"Yep," Bella said. "I met her at the party," she said. "He is nice," she said. "And very presistent," she said slightly laughing.
A knock came at the door causing her to take a deep breath. "I'll get it," he said softly. "Put on his jacket its cold out there," he said causing her to nod and grab her jean jacket.
Bella came down the stairs causing Paul's breath to be caught in his throat. She was wearing a pair of tight jeans, black tank top and jean jacket. "You look great," Paul said softly.
"You do too," Bella said with a smile on her face. "Where are you taking me?" He asked.
"Dinner," Paul said. "And then a movie," he said softly. "I will have her home by 12:00 sir," he said looking over at my father. "I promise to take good care of her," he said smiling at her.
"Have fun," Charlie said shaking his head and then watched them walk out. They went out for dinner that night, then to the movies, and then just talked in his car.
"When did you get changed?" Bella asked looking over at him.
"I was around Jacob's age," Paul said. "My parents were killed by a rogue werewolf and then he left me to die that is when Sam found me," he said causing her to nod.
"You miss then?" Bella asked.
"All the time," Paul said softly. "But I wouldn't change it because I would never got to have met you," he said touching her face and for the first time she felt warmth.
"Smmoth talker aren't you?" Bella asked causing him to laugh slightly.
"Only to beautiful women," Paul said looking over at her.
"And how many beautiful women are there?" Bella asked causing him to take her hand.
"One," Paul said. "You," he said leaning over in her direction. Bella froze as their lips touched but then sank into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her closer.
They pulled away getting some air and they both looked stunned. "Wow," they said.
"I want to do this again," Paul said. "How would you feel about Friday?" He asked causing her to smile.
"I would love another date with you," Bella said. "But its almost tweleve you should probably get me home?" She asked softly causing him to nod.
"Don't want your dad to come after me," Paul said turning on the car and heading home.
Paul walked her over to the door that night and she looked up at him. "Thanks for tonight," Bella said softly. "I really had a good time," she said.
"You deserve to smile again," Paul said touching her face and kissed her softly. She went into the house and smiled over at his father.
"How was it?" Charlie asked.
"Oh my god dad," Bella said. "It was great," she said with a smile. "I am going to head to bed," she said heading to the stairs but then stopped. "Um we are going out Friday is that okay?" She asked.
"Sure sweetie," Charlie said causing her to run upstairs. Bella came out of the bathroom and found the picture of her and Edward. She lingered at it for a moment and then was plaqued with dreams of him.
