My plan was not to chop this chapter up, but it is the only way this site would let me post it for some reason. We still have those last maybe two chapters to go.

Chapter 31pt 2

Angela stepped out of the bathroom only wrapped in a towel and looked up, everyone but Bella was slack jawed and staring straight at her but she didn't really care. The pain that she'd pushed away the last month was rolling over her in waves and she wanted nothing more that to scream and cry. She'd wanted that the entire time she'd been back in Chicago. Every time she'd almost let herself go she'd think about Bella, about the way she acted, the way she looked when Edward had gone. She thought about the things people had said about her, the way that her father and all of her friends worried over her. Even though she'd cried the entire flight back to Chicago she wouldn't let herself do it when she'd gotten back to her apartment. She couldn't be that selfish it wouldn't only hurt her, it would hurt HIM even more. She knew Paul loved her, she knew she loved him, the bond that they shared was set in stone, so why let herself be consumed by the pain when she knew she was going back to the rez as soon as summer semester was over, when she knew she could get into a photography program in Seattle, she just had to make it through the next month and that's what she'd set out to do. That is until Edward Cullen pulled out the chair across from her and attempted to carry on a conversation.

That was until he stopped talking long enough to realize that she was about to die of shock. He'd looked at her and squinted, when he did she could have sworn she was dead. When his honey colored eyes went black, she'd flinched away and squeezed her eyes shut. When nothing had happened she'd opened her eyes to him still sitting across from her anger swirling in his gaze but his posture was one that was defeated. "I would never hurt you or her I did what was best for her," he'd whispered before she blinked and he was gone.

Shaking the memory away Angela brought herself back into the present, all eyes were still on her, the shower still running in the room behind her, she just wanted to get away.

"Bella can you please come with me."

Jake stood and opened his mouth to speak stalling when Bella put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down, "Seth can come with us, we won't go far." Jake's eyes narrowed as the water turned off but he gave a stiff nod toward Seth.

Angela walked over to the side of the bed, turning her back on everyone she grabbed a shirt off the floor, of course it would be Paul's and slipped it over her towel, the towel acting as a skirt would have to do. Turning on her heel Angela didn't look at the shower door as it slowly opened she just grabbed one of Seth's wrists in one hand and Bella's in the other, "Let's go."

~U~

"How far do I have to go without them being able to hear everything that I say to you guys Seth?"

Seth took in the walls of the hall that they were in and nodded toward the stairwell door, "With walls this thick we should only have to go a floor down, but I don't think we should get completely out of earshot in case he shows up again."

"I swear he was never in my apartment," Angela grunted as her hands hit the cold steel door and she shoved.

Once they got to the first landing between the two floors Angela stopped and threw herself into the corner letting herself slide down as ladylike as she could.

"His smell is all over your apartment, he probably snuck in before you got back or while you were waiting for Paul to get here."

Angela's eyes widened and then slid over to Bella who was now bitting her lower lip, "He came into my room a lot, the first night I met him he came to the house, into my room without me hearing a sound, I was sleeping I thought I was dreaming about him." Bella shook her head, tears starting to glisten in her eyes, "He said he liked to watch me sleep, I only knew he was in my room when he wanted me to."

Angela's mouth gaping she gripped Bella's hand and pulled her down beside her, "He said he'd never hurt me. I didn't say anything to him Bella, he told me that he did what was best for you."

Angela watched as Bella grit her teeth, "He can read minds Angela."

Angela felt her eyes grow wide, "he, he can they"

Bella sucked in a deep breath and shot a glance toward Seth, "They told me to never tell anyone, but they have abilities that others don't, they are all special in some way. The pack knows, most of the imprints don't because it doesn't seem important, they don't want them to worry."

"What can they do? Do all vampires have powers?"

Bella shook her head sadly, "No, the Cullen's are different. They don't kill humans," a small rumble interrupted the silence, "anymore" Bella whispered her eyes narrowing at Seth, "they feed off animals to stay alive, that's why their eyes look like they do. Edward can read minds, Alice can see into the future, Jasper can see and feel people's emotions, Rosalie is beautiful; she uses it to lure in her prey, Emmet has extreme strength that most vampires don't have, Carlisle has the ability to resist human blood; the reason why he can be a doctor, the others all at some point have struggled with it. Esme is able to love deeper than most."

"What does he want, how did he know I was here?"

"Edward is from Chicago, he was dying of Spanish Influenza in 1918 when Carlisle turned him."

"So he, they could have been here the entire time?"

Bella shrugged and looked at Seth, "I don't know, its possible."

Seth looked toward the door at the top of the stairwell, "Paul is coming."

Angela squeezed her eyes shut and swallowed.

~U~

Pushing the door easily took a hell of a lot out of him, Paul's hands hand been shaking, gut twisting since Angela stepped out of the shower. He felt like he'd been hit with a mac truck going 95 down the interstate. Gripping the guard rail Paul took it easy as he shuffled his way down the stairs. When he rounded the corner his eyes latched onto Angela and didn't stray. Coming to a stop in front of her Paul felt Seth's hand on his shoulder, barely registered him asking him if he was ok, and that he looked like shit. He could't take his eyes off Angela though and as soon as her eyes popped open he fell to his knees in front of her and fucking sobbed like the fucking pussy that he was.

~U~

Angela's eyes widened as she watched him fall to his knees in front of her in slow motion, her arms stretched out to catch him and her back hit the wall with a thud as he pushed into her and then he started sobbing. Bella's eyes were wide as saucers as she scooted herself out from under Paul's right arm, Seth looked worried but didn't move toward them.

"It'll be ok," Angela whispered to him as she petted the hair on the back of his head. "Go ahead up we will be there in a few."

To say that she was shocked would have been an understatement. She'd seen him, indifferent, frustrated, angry, even down right pissed, this though was something knew. Angela wasn't sure what to do in this situation other than hold him and stroke his hair, so that's exactly what she did for the next thirty minutes as Paul gripped her and murmured things into her chest that she couldn't understand.

When his hot lips made contact with her collarbone Angela stilled and tried to pull back, "I love you." Paul whispered as his lips skated across her skin once more, "I was so fucking worried that something was wrong with us," his teeth latched onto the shirt she was wearing, pulling it down so her left shoulder was exposed. "I didn't feel it when you went away baby and it, it fucking pissed me off, made me question everything." His teeth scraped along the flesh of her shoulder and she shuddered. "I should have fucking known better, should have known you were doing it. I'm so fucking sorry you hurt, that I fucking hurt you," Angela gripped Paul's scalp as his lips moved slowly along her shoulder and paused at the juncture between her neck and shoulder. "You're so fucking strong baby, you'd have to be to put up with me, with all this shit, fuck I love you." Angela nodded as his lips continued to slowly make their way up to the spot he knew would have her giving in. "I don't know how you figured it out baby, but I fucking swear I'll pay you back for it every day for the rest of our fucking lives, I couldn't imagine feeling this all day every fucking day. Let me make it go away for you, for us."

"Oh Paul," Angela whispered as his teeth hit the spot right below her ear.

"You're mine baby, you know that, I'm not leaving until you come back with me, you'll live with me, marry me, have my fucking babies and never leave me again. The next time I do something stupid, try to push you away beat my ass baby, I'm a fucking idiot."

"Yes," Angela whispered as Paul's hand slid between the crease of the towel.

"I need to get inside you, right here baby, fucking I want you gripping me tight, burning me up."

"Yes, please," Angela groaned as Paul pulled back and pulled the shirt over her head. The towel was still in a knot at her armpit, but it didn't take long for it to be dropped over the hand rail.

Angela's eyes shot around the stairwell then paused on the door half a flight up, "I can hear everything baby no one is going to come in here and Seth's still in the hallway."

Without a word Angela opened her legs and smiled when he groaned. "I'll keep you safe baby, protect you forever."

Nodding Angela squeaked when her back left the wall, the scene around her swirling until she came to a halt on Paul's naked thighs, noticing that he had somehow managed to get naked she cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Ride me," Paul demanded while gripping her hips.

Scooting forward Angela gripped Paul and then ever so slowly sank down onto of him, smiling as his body jerked up filling her quicker than she expected. "This is fucking heaven, you are fucking heaven Angel."

She hadn't been riding him long when he flipped them over, her head landing softly on the towel, his arms caging her in, "You still on the pill Angel," Paul asked as he thrust into her particularly hard. All she could manage was a nod as his name fell from her lips. Paul was still thrusting his hips snapping back fast, only to glide back in slowly but with enough force to hit right where she needed him. "You can find a school around home right?" Paul asked as he pulled all the way out then sank back in ever so slowly. He took her groan as a yes. "I missed your fucking tits so much baby," Paul's mouth came down his teeth pinching ever so slightly as he thrust back into her slowly. "You like that," Angela nodded her head as his teeth scraped over her nipple again. "I was serious about what I said baby, all of it before. You're mine. Never going out of my sight again."

~U~

Paul's pace was maddening, slow precise thrusts that were driving her crazy, but his words would be her undoing, everything he was saying was what she'd always wanted to hear from him, even the part about the kids. Hell Angela wanted it all, she wanted it as soon as she could get it. "Paul please."

"Tell me baby, what do you want?"

"To come home with you, marry you, have your babies." Angela smiled as she spoke the words into his ear causing him to quicken his pace, "To come home and have you fuck me like this every night." Paul snarled nipped at her nipple hard enough to cause pain and oddly she liked it, like that it made her wetter, liked that her words had sent Paul into a frenzy his hips jack hammering into her own. "I'm so close Paul."

"Fuck yes," Paul grit as he jerked himself up. Leaning back he pulled Angela's legs from around his waist locked his hands behind her knees and pushed down. She was damn near folded like a pretzel with her knees close to his ears but holy hell, her fucking eyes were rolling back into her head and fuck yes she was getting wetter, "Tell me you like this Angel."

When she opened her mouth and let out a deep groan he knew enough, "Gonna go harder tell me if its too deep."

Picking up his pace Paul almost felt guilty for the fact that her head was getting closer and closer to the wall, his eyes kept darting from her eyes to her face making sure she was still liking it, making sure she was ok. "Gonna come," Angela finally panted her hands latching onto her nipples squeezing the fuck out of them. Paul pulled out nearly all the way pushed back on her knees a little more pulling her ass off the floor and slammed into her one last time.

Fucking stars is what he saw next. Brighter than anything he'd ever fucking seen out in Washington, so bright it took his breath away and he fell forward catching himself just in time to not crush her. Angela was till spasming around his dick, her whole body still shuttering beneath him, he gave a little thrust loving feel as her body clenched him again. "I love you," Paul whispered as he began to pull back.

~U~

Angela let her fingers bit into his ribs and she groaned again when he swelled inside of her, "Don't you dare, I'm recovering." Paul chuckled the movement working her body over once more. "Please hold still or I'm afraid it'll never stop."

~U~

Those words really made Paul want to move just once more so he did. He earned a slap on the side and a shudder of pleasure. "You jerk."

~U~

Thankfully Seth wasn't standing watch at the door when they made their way up the stairs, relieved Angela gripped Paul's hand and smiled.

"He left when it got heavy."

Angela rolled her eyes and smacked his side again.

"What," Paul grinned, "He's smart enough to know that I'd kick his ass if I saw him with a boner after hearing those sexy little noises you make."

Angela jerked Paul to a stop pointing her finger down the hall to her apartment door, "Shush it!"

She really wanted to poke his eye when he let out a deep belly laugh.

Walking in the room didn't feel as awkward as she though it would, she could see the pink tint on Seth's cheeks the second he took a deep breath, but that quickly disappeared when Paul let out a low rumble.

"So what is the plan?" Angela said unlacing her fingers from Paul's.

"We need you to tell us everything Angela," Jake said as he bunched his fists at his sides, "Is he coming after Bella?"
