Hey Everyone, It's the Date!
Let's see what Paul has in store!
:::::::
I marched down the stairs, I didn't really care how under dressed I was or that my hair was a mess. It washed it last night so it's probably curly and wild. Ash knows how much I hate storms and he left me in the middle of one, can you say asshole or what? It took me ages to get to sleep but luckily the storm stopped two hours or something after Ash left.
I stomped right into the kitchen where I heard him humming, how can he hum at a time like this! I'm freaking pissed off and he's humming and making pancakes my favourite, he's trying to suck it up! What an ass, I'm royally going to kill him.
"You asshole," I screamed standing in the kitchen door way glaring at him, if looks could kill Ash would be past nine lives.
"Ame-" he started to say but I wasn't letting him talk.
"Don't you dare Ame me, do you know how freaking stupid you were being! You know I hate storms and on top of that you added worry! I was worried sick not to mention pissed of and scared! What the hells happened to you Ash! First leaving me for a week without telling me, then acting like…like a freaking asshole to me and then acting weird at wolf howls and running into a freaking forest when there's a storm! Now I think you have some explaining to do," I screamed but said the last line softly crossing my arms over my chest.
"Not just now Ame, we have a visitor." Ash sighed pointing to the kitchen table.
I raised my eyebrow at him before turning slowly to see a beautiful girl sitting at the table obviously trying to not laugh at the scene before her. She had long shiny brown hair and caramel eyes.
"Well, hello there I'm Amethyst," I grinned skipping over to her.
"Leah," she smiled back while I took a seat opposite her.
"So…Leah how do you know Ash?" I asked leaning on my hand.
"Oh, he was at Sam's last night and so was I, we just kind of clicked." She smiled, I could tell she was being truthful but there was more to it than that.
"Oh really," I smirked leaning forward. I didn't want to give her a hard time because she seems to be good for my brother but I need to know what the hell he's been doing while missing and when he runs off.
"Amethyst don't you have to get ready for your date or something," Ash said quickly not looking at me.
"Hmm…" I nodded getting up from the table and moving to the doorway, "thanks for being truthful Leah but there more to it than that isn't there?" I asked tilting my head to the side looking her in the eye.
I watched her face, for a second she looked alarmed before quickly collecting herself. Well, I'll just have to find out what it is that there hiding from me. she quickly turned her head in Ash's direction shooting him a look of horror before smiling politely at me.
"Well it was lovely to meet you Leah but be warned I'll find out," I smiled deviously before walking back up the stairs to my bedroom.
:::::
I looked myself once over in the mirror, I knew it was only a date and it was Paul most of all but something told me that today was going to change things between us. I didn't know if it would be a good thing or bad but let's just hope it's a good thing.
I was wearing a hot pink Audrey Hepburn printed top, a mini black frilled skirt, ripped black skinny jeans since it was cold outside and a pair of hot pink pumps. I curled my hair before applying eyeliner and mascara.
"Ame, Paul's here." Ash called from downstairs.
Funny I didn't hear the door bell ring or a knock, well whatever time for my date with Paul. I walked down slowly cool and collected. When I got to the living room, Paul was standing awkwardly while Leah and Ash cuddled up on the couch.
"Are you two like a couple or what?" I asked curiously, motioning with a finger between them.
"Yes we are now you two go on enjoy yourselves," Ash said motioning us to practically piss off.
"Fine be like that, we'll go have an awesome time while you…" I said shrugging before grabbing Paul's hand and pulling him out of the room with me.
"So what are we doing today?" I asked skipping to Paul's black shiny bike which I'm glad he brought.
"Nope, not telling it's a day full of surprises," he smirked handing me a helmet while putting on his own.
"I'm glad you have a sense of safety," I mumbled but of course he heard me.
"Ha, ha you're just hilarious," he smiled getting on his bike.
"I know I am but what are you," I shot back climbing on after him.
"Oh stop being a smart ass even if it adorable," he said before revving the engine and speeding off.
We drove for what a little bit before pulling outside the local shop. It was the closet thing to a supermarket La push had and the only one. It just shows you how small La push actually is. I hoped of pulling off the helmet before shaking my head to give my hair the volume it had before.
"The local shop, seriously?" I asked Paul as he grinned mischievously grabbing my hand and pulling me along behind him.
"Shut it," he laughed walking into the store with me in tow.
The cashier was standing at the counter looking bored out of her mind, she looked to be the same age as Paul but I hadn't ever seen her at school. It looked just like any other corner shop, but except Paul was here and he stood out like a sore thumb, towering over all the aisles with food stocked on the shelves. The ring of the bell brought me back from my thoughts.
I didn't fail do notice that the girl at the counter immediately looked at Paul and put on a flirty smile and was about to speak when I stopped her, I wasn't letting her hit on my man. Wait, my man? What the hell?
"Very romantic," I smiled rolling my eyes taking Paul's hand and looking around the shop.
Paul just laughed before nodding at the girl and pulling me up the first aisles that had all the candy. I couldn't help but laugh when Paul nearly bought everything and I had to stop him before he actually did, but it might have looked like he was fat or something from the outside but I just thought he looked adorable trying to figure out which to get and which not.
"Just get skittles, gummy bears and something else," I suggested laughing as everyone who came into the shop in the last ten minutes looked at him like he was an idiotic moron or something.
"Fine," he sighed defeated throwing everything else back onto the self.
We continued round the shop mucking around and buying random things, I don't exactly know why Paul needed them but it didn't really matter. If he wanted today to be a day filled of surprises then who was I to disagree.
"Shit, I forgot the freaking milk." Paul cursed running back up the aisle and around the corner to the milk section.
I stood there for five minutes holding the basket waiting for Paul. I was getting really annoyed at him, how long did it take to grab a carton of milk? I huffed bending down to grab the basket before heading over to the milk section. I was just about to turn the corner when I heard the weirdest conversation ever.
"Mrs. Jon please just give me the milk! You don't even need it, you've got like five freaking cartons in there!" I turned the corner finding Paul arguing with a small old lady over the carton they were both holding.
"Yes I do, now just be a gentleman and give me the milk," for such a small lady she was really stubborn, I was biting my lip to keep for laughing.
Paul towered over her holding the milk at his knees which was where the little old lady's arms reached; to be honest the little old lady looked to be about the same height and my five year old cousin. Paul tried to lift it higher up which was even more hilarious since the higher he stood the little old lady came with him. She just wasn't going to give up the freaking carton of milk.
"look lady I really need this or else I'm going to be in serious trouble now be a nice old lady and hand over the milk!" I could see Paul was losing his patience and was starting to shake which was really odd but it looked to be scarring the poor old lady.
I quickly walked over to them and grabbed the milk away from them both. "Look why don't you just give me the milk so neither of you get it?" I suggested while standing holding the milk with a little old lady whose feet weren't touching the ground and Paul the giant who was literally shaking.
After five minutes the little old lady sighed. "Fine, take the milk but next time you won't be so lucky," she warned before pinking up her basket and shuffling away.
I looked back at Paul who was smirking like he just won the biggest battle. "Was that really necessary?" I asked with a laugh letting go if the carton of milk.
"Yes, I really do need this milk or otherwise I would really be dead and plus that old lady was my bitch of a neighbour she's been doing stuff like that since I was twelve." He told me shaking his head before grabbing my hand in his free one and heading back to the checkout.
:::::::
"How are we going to get these to the next destination?" I asked Paul.
We were standing in front of his motor bike. Paul insisted on carrying the bags so I had none where as he had four. He looked at the bike before smiling and opening a compartment in the back. He made the bags as small as they would go before placing them into it working it like a puzzle.
"Very clever," I commented hopping on the bike after him.
"It's really easy if you think about it. all you-" he teased turning his head to face me.
"Shut up and drive," I laughed burying my head in his neck.
:::::::
We pulled up at a small blue house. It looked like another house in La push did but it had something that the others didn't. There was rose beds bellow the windows and a cute bike lying in the grass. At the side was a garage with a car in it, the tools were scattered around lying. The whole house was cute and filled with life but what I didn't get was why we were here.
"Where are we?" I asked turning away from the house to see Paul smiling at me, with a look of….adoration?
"My house," he simply said grabbing my hand.
His house, that means I'm meeting the family. Sorry but that's not my idea of a first date no one but Ash and my friends has ever met my boyfriends. Sure they've heard of them but never actually met them. Gosh, what if I screw up? What if I say something offensive? What if I insult them but not knowing it? What if they just don't like me…?
"Hey are you alright?" Paul dragged me back from my panicked thoughts.
"Yeah, just peachy," I whispered harshly letting him pull me into the house.
The inside was warm and cosy. It opened up into the hall where there were stairs and then at the end was a kitchen. Paul pulled me along after him into the kitchen; he looked like he was on top of the world while I probably looked like I was going to be sick with horror. As we walked in the smell of pasta filled the air, it smelt amazing. At the stove was a middle age women, who when we walked in turned to face us with a giant grin.
"Paul, who is this beautiful young women?" she asked with the same grin her eyes shinning with joy.
"Mom this is Amethyst, Amethyst this is my mom," Paul introduced us smiling proudly.
"It lovely to meet you Amethyst it feels like I already know you since Paul talks so much about you," she smiled sneaking a glace at Paul.
"It's lovely to meet you to Mrs. Walker," I smiled holding out my hand at which she laughed at and pulled me in for a hug.
"Amethyst, dear call me Liz. And plus I'm not Mrs. Walker anymore just Miss Paul's dad left us when Paul's little sister Ally wasn't even born." She smiled pulling away from me.
I hadn't heard much about Paul's dad, I knew he had a little sister Ally. I never really felt the need to know, if Paul wanted to tell me he would have, so there's no point pressuring him into telling me. When, if he wants to tell me he will.
"Why don't you kids go wait in the living room while I finish cooking," Liz smiled ushering out of the kitchen.
Paul led me through the small dining room and into a small cosy room. it had two couches, a coffee table, a fire and a TV in the corner. Sitting on the couch was girl I couldn't see all her face only the side, she had long brown hair and russet skin. When we walked in she turned towards us showing her really pretty face and shinny emerald green eyes.
"Ally this is Amethyst, Amethyst my little sister Ally." Paul introduced us flopping down on the couch beside Ally.
"It's nice to meet you Ally," I smiled holding out my hand.
"You too," she smiled shaking my hand and then turning back to the TV.
I looked over at Paul before shrugging and taking a seat beside him, which wasn't good enough because Paul sighed and placed me in his lap. He started to play with my hair while I looked at the TV but wasn't really watching it.
"So…Ally you're fourteen right?" I asked trying to start a conversation, I really hated silence.
"Yeah, how old are you?" she asked turning to face us.
"Sixteen turning seventeen in a month," I answered nodding my head.
"Hey, so you want to come to a bonfire with me on Friday?" Paul asked as I turned to face him.
"Sure but I can't stay late I'm going to Port Angeles on Saturday." I said playing with my hands.
"What are you doing in Port Angeles?" Paul asked sitting straighter and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Oh, me and Scarlett are going to see Paramore," I shrugged while Ally started squealing.
"You're going to see Paramore?" she all but screamed.
"Yeah do you want me to bring back a t-shirt?" I asked trying not to laugh at her outburst but if I was being honest I would react the same way.
"Would you?" she asked excitedly grinning from ear to ear.
"Sure," I shrugged leaning back into Paul's chest.
I talked to Paul and left Ally to watch her TV programme for little while. We talked about what he was doing in the garage. He explained to me that he was building his own car from scratch with the help of Jacob. I told him that I played the guitar, piano and wrote my own songs which I know shocked him even though he said it didn't.
"Lunch," Liz called from the kitchen.
Ally ran into the dining room while I hopped off Paul's lap and laughing as he ran as fast as he could into the dining room with me following behind. I took a seat beside Paul opposite Ally. There was a lot of food on the table, everything that I like except the meat of course. Liz came in and took her seat beside Ally smiling brightly.
"Dig in," she said warmly reaching for the carrots.
Lunch was amazing, Liz was an excellent cook. I got to know her and Ally more and Paul too. After lunch we sat in the living room talking randomly about anything and everything. I told them about my life back in Seattle and nearly everything I did there except the personal stuff I didn't want them to know. I told them about my family and how I didn't know my dad. At around six, Paul said we had another destination to go to.
"Come back anytime, I'd love to see you again." Liz smiled hugging me close to her.
"I will," I smiled before being pulled away by Paul.
:::::::::
We pulled up at first beach, the sky was dark and the air was freezing. I was glad Paul was like my own personal body warmer with his hot temperature. I hoped of the bike wrapping my arms around myself, even though it was freezing it was a beautiful night. I could see the stars clearly, the waves crashed against the rocks up ahead and the sand looked white in the moonlight. There wasn't anyone else here except from Paul and me.
"It's beautiful," I breathed looking up at the sky.
"Yeah but not as beautiful as you," Paul smiled taking my hand. I couldn't help but to laugh at his cheesy line, it was sweet but Paul saying it made it sound….odd, like it was from another universe.
"What?" he asked sounding nearly offended.
"I'm…sorry…it's…just…you saying….that…is like…from…another….universe." I managed to say between fits of giggles.
"Whatever," Paul laughed pulling me behind him.
I'd only been to the beach once before and it was at night and dark so I didn't even know where Paul was taking me. We walked up to the cliff which wasn't that bad but it was windy and freezing so that made it even worse.
"Where are we going?" I asked once I was calmed down enough to form a proper sentence.
"It's a surprise," Paul reminded me, even though I already knew he would say that.
"What is with you and surprises," I muttered shaking my head but smiling at the same time.
"They make everything so much more fun," he said like an excited puppy.
I just laughed at him before wrapping his arm around my shoulder and snuggling into his warm side. I sighed in contentment; this is the way things were supposed to be. Me and Paul together, I couldn't really say that he was the one but I knew he could be.
"Close your eyes," he instructed slowing down our pace.
I did as he instructed not wanting to ruin his plans and let him lead me forward. He only walked for a few more minutes before I felt Paul stop.
"You can open your eyes now," Paul whispered removing his hands from my eyes.
I blinked before focusing on what we where facing. I couldn't help but gasp, we were standing in front of a cave. There was a blanket lying on the ground in the middle of the cave surrounded by candles, There was a basket sitting on the blanket making it a nearly picnic.
I always thought I was a girl with high expectations but looking at Paul and what he had set up made me rethink everything I'd ever thought I wanted in a perfect date. It was simple and cute, and more importantly it was better than any fancy restaurant or concert and mainly because Paul had done it for me.
"Do you like it?" Paul asked nervously raking a hand through his hair.
"I love it," I said softly walking closer to the cave slowly.
I turned to see Paul was frozen in place watching me with the oddest look on his face. "Are you joining me or are you going to just stand there?" I asked with a laugh sitting down on the blanket.
He just smiled before walking over to join me. We sat in silence enjoying each others company, I've never really like silence but with Paul it was comfortable, not boring and awkward. In the basket was chocolate and strawberries which we ate in silence.
"I have something for you," Paul broke the silence sitting up facing me.
"Really?" I asked surprised. He didn't need to get me anything, but it was sweet of him too.
"Yeah, if you don't like it well…um…yeah," He shrugged nervously digging into his pocket for something.
"I'm sure I'll love it," I smiled reassuringly.
"Okay well I'm really not good at these kinds of things at all. Look I like you more than a friend and I'm not going to say some cheesy shit or something long and freaking boring so here it goes. Amethyst will you be my girlfriend?" he asked handing me a bracelet.
It was simple chain with a silver wolf charm, it was simple yet it was beautiful. it was such a simple gesture but it was so sweet. I had been thinking over what Scarlett had said ages ago and I came to terms with the fact I was falling for Paul but right now looking at this bracelet I realised that I wasn't falling….
I already had.
I loved everything about him, even his infuriating love of surprises. His protectiveness, his humour, his intelligence and Paul as a whole, every thing that he doesn't like about himself I loved and everything he thought was good about himself only made everything about him better. I loved him with all my heart but I didn't know if I could give up everything for him but I'll deal with that when it comes but for the moment I bask in the thought that Paul actually like me.
I, Amethyst Rose king was liked by Paul Walker.
And that was only a step closer to getting him to love me.
I didn't even realize I was crying until I felt them spill down my cheeks. I looked up at Paul who looked like a nervous wreck and grinned through blurry eyes.
"Yeah, yeah I'll be your girlfriend." I said barely above a whisper before sealing it with a kiss.
