Thanks for your wonderful reviews!
And thank you to all the people who alerted. You guys are equally as special. And I would really LOVE it if you reviewed.
All I did was try to hide form everyone at school. As soon as class was over I ran out and into my other class. During lunch I ate in the back of the school alone away from everyone. When I walked by people whispered, the guys tried to get my attention but I shrugged them off and just kept walking. I sat in last period ignoring everyone and just watching the clock until it rang. I had to leave; I had to be with Paul. Every time I was with Paul it felt like everything in the world was right. I didn't care for anything or anyone but him. I shouldn't even be thinking about Paul this way, we were merely friends and he had that girl in his mind. I can't be a slut and just run in and take him. Trust me, the temptation is there but I'm not that type of person.
RING!
I got up and ran out the door practically sprinting.
"Gabby, don't you dare leave, we have to talk to you! " Quill's heavy footsteps thumped behind me.
"Don't you dare try to explain yourself to me? You knew and didn't tell me. A very dick move Quill! "
"I know Gabby, but I'm sorry. We all are sorry. ! "
"I'll forgive you when I'm done grieving dick hole! " I pushed through the entrance doors and collided with Paul's chest.
"Whoa there! "He held my waist before I fell to the ground.
"I was just about to go look for you." I looked up at Paul and blushed. Something about his smile made me melt like a Popsicle on the fourth of July.
"Oh, let's go. " I looked back and saw Quill's glare at Paul.
"Your friend seems unfriendly. "
"Towards you, he's mad because I won't forgive him. "
Paul walked next to me shirtless. And the gossipers had something new to gossip about. Not only was I cheated on in front of everyone, and my best friends knew, but now it looked like Paul and I was an item. It wasn't that at all. Just because he has an amazing toned body that I would definitely eat on and he is walking me to HIS car it does not mean, AT ALL, that were are dating. In my dreams we may be dating but in reality, nope, sorry!
Paul opened the car door as I jumped in easily. I looked outside the tinted windows and noticed all the eyes were eon Paul who walked to his side of the car and stared back at them. As soon as Paul made eye contact with them they shifted their heads and eyes somewhere else. People were scared of Paul; he wasn't really the nicest guy in school. Paul just jumped in and started driving.
"Thanks for picking me up. "
"Don't thank me, I'm taking you to my house. "
"I doubt your house is horrible Paul. "
"Only when there are people in it. " Paul seemed to be disgusted when he said people. Like he had a hatred for his family.
I remained silent for the rest of the ride.
Paul's house was beautiful. A picture perfect 2 story white house.
"My parents aren't home, doesn't surprise me. " I hopped out his car and followed behind him up the cement trail. The green grass cut perfectly, the white porch swing, and the little empty garden place in the front.
"Do you like it? "He asked making me tear my eyes away from the front yard.
"Yeah, it's pretty. " Paul watched me for awhile until he opened his door and walked in.
Paul's house was flawless. White marble floors so clean that my reflection bounced off of it. The hall ways filled with mirrors shining brightly over the glass tables underneath them.
"Come this way, my living room is over here. " We turned the corner of a long hall way.
How big was this house! It was massive. I hope everything on Paul was massive… No, dirty gabby, dirty Gabby.
"Why you blushing? " I looked up at Paul and felt my cheek.
"Oh, I don't know. " I looked away form him instantly.
His so called living room was a vibrant white like the rest of the house. Art portraits on every wall and sculptures in every corner. A big white leather couch finished it off on the middle.
"This is our family living room, not really your typical living but my mom's a freak. " Paul tugged on my hand and held it in his as he walked me downstairs.
"Where are we going? "
His rough strong hand held mine not letting it go.
"To my living room. " His living room, are you kidding me, this guy has his OWN living room.
We stopped at a dark gray door.
"Welcome to my casa. " Paul took out some keys and opened the door like it was his house in his house.
Paul ushered me inside. The walls were black with posters on the wall. As soon as you entered you were met with his living room. Black carpet with black walls and a big black leather couch covered with a red quilt. In front of the couch was a huge flat screen and its surround sound. Just standing in the doorway you could see the living room and his bedroom. His bed was big enough for Paul and probably 2 other Paul's. The same black furniture but with red trimming.
"Wow. " I looked at Paul who shrugged.
"It's what you get when your parents feel guilty for leaving you alone half the time. " Paul placed my stuff on his couch and walked into his bedroom.
"Take a seat on the couch and relax, you like soda right? " He asked
"Yupp! " I plopped down ion his couch and turned on the TV. I couldn't believe Paul had all this. He never seemed like the type to have all this. He wasn't stuck up at all. He came back and sat down next to me.
"I have orange soda, I hope you like orange soda. "
"I love orange soda, thanks handsome. "He sat down on the other side of the couch and smirked.
"Handsome? " I quirked and eyebrow at him and giggled
"Yes, handsome. "
Paul smiled at me and then placed his attention to the movie on his TV.
"Pulp Fiction? "
"It's a good movie. " I looked at Paul and just mesmerized his beautiful face. He had covered himself in clothes. What a shame for my perverted mind and eyes.
"You have good movie taste Gabby. " I drank my soda and watched the movie with Paul.
LATER
"No, I still don't get it Paul! "
"okay, look at it this way, just do everything on the left first then gradually move your way to the right. "
After watching 2 movies, talking to Paul and laughing through my dorky moments. Some how my math homework appeared in my hands and my puppy dog eyes begged Paul to help me with my homework. Which I would have never have understood unless Paul wasn't a genius in math.
"Okay, so like this? " I gripped the yellow pencil in my hand. Paul's body sat next to me but his body was soo close I could practically like his face if I took my tongue out.
"Yeah, you got it! " I high-five Paul and giggled.
"Paul I love you! " I hugged Paul tightly, our lips brushing against each the before I pulled away.
I felt my face heat up immediately.
"I'm so sorry. " I shook my head and Paul's hands turned into fists.
"It's okay, it was my fault, I was too close. " He replied.
"Yeah. " I tried to convince myself that I didn't want to kiss him anyways. But I was lying.
"So, umm. " Paul coughed loudly trying to defuse the awkward situation we were in.
"Have you talked to your friends? " He asked sitting back down on the couch as far away form me as possible.
"Oh no, but I feel like I should. I told Quill I'd forgive him after I'm done grieving. Do you think I'm being hard on them? "Paul sat up and laid his elbows on his knees.
"No, I think what you did was good. You need your time sweetie. Plus I don't mind hanging out with you. "I looked up at Paul and grinned.
"Aw you're such a cutie Paul." I flirted back.
"Your not so bad yourself. "
"So, tell me about you and Jared. And this mystery girl, oh and how amazing your parents are for getting all of this for you. . "
P.P.O.V
She still didn't see how much I wanted her. The moment when our lips just barely touched I was ready to dive in but she sat back and blushed. Maybe she didn't want me. I sat back away form her. I didn't want he to feel like was a predator or something.
"Jared and I are cool now, he's been busy though. "
"And having all this isn't amazing when your parents throw it all over you for feeling sorry Gabs. All I ever wanted was to spend time with them and all they ever did was make up an excuse that they were working, or were tired form working. "
"Paul. " Gabby pouted sadly next to m. her small hand on my arm.
"This one time I was pitching my first game for little league, playoffs. They promised they'd be there but they never showed up. I pitched a no hitter that game. You know how horrible it felt when other kids ran to their parents after the game and congratulated them on how well it did and there I was left all alone. My older sister Dana was there though. Cheered for me the whole game. "
"I bet she's the best sister in the world. "
"She is, when mom and dad would argue she would let me sleep in her room and listen to her ipod at high volumes so I wouldn't hear their fighting. She protected me from the mess my family had become. "
"You don't hate your parents do you? "She was worried. My girl was worried over hating my parents. She was too cute.
"What are parents; I have people who created me and 1 person who raised me. Dana. My sister. The only person in the world that has told me she loved me. Besides Jared but that's a little gay. "I laughed she looked extremely upset by what I said.
"Paul, I really do love you. I use to just look at you as my brothers best friend but these last two days I feel like I've known you forever. It's easy to be with you. You're like one of my best friends. You out of anybody deserve to be loved properly. And that girl you like so much must be madly in love with you. "
"This girl isn't really giving me a good sign that she likes me. "
"She's crazy if she doesn't. You're an amazing guy. "
"I'm not as amazing as you think I am Gabby. I fucked up a lot. "
"Do you still do those fucked up things? " Gabby scooted over next to me. Her soft body heating radiating off of her. Her heart beatted softly neck to mine. A sound that kept me calm with every pulse in my body. I looked up at her. Her question, do I do the bad things I use to do? Sex, booze, cheating, stealing. I was a horrible person for her. I wasn't even good enough for her as a friend. Heck, I'm not even good enough for a regular person. But her angelic face told me I couldn't run away from this girl no matter how hard I tried. She was my life and it was my destiny to be with her. Without her I would just cause more pain for the both of us. I wouldn't do anything bad for this girl. This girl that had my heart, and until a couple days ago she gripped my heart forever, I was going to be the best person that I could be for her. Because if I wasn't, I wouldn't approve of me dating her. She needed the best and I wasn't it, but it wouldn't hurt to try.
"No. "Her soft beautiful smile looked up at me. She ran her fingers through my hair softly. Our eyes making contact. Our souls meeting up and looking with us. Seeing the beauty that was in front of us. The magic and chemistry our love was growing into. I closed my eyes and nearly lost consciousness form her head rub.
"Then you're perfect. "Her voice was softer then usual. More soothing, reassuring and more sensitive.
"Paul? " I opened my eyes and looked down at the beauty in front of me
"Yeah? "
"I think I'm done grieving. "
2 weeks later
I was busy the entire 2 weeks after my conversation with Paul. He went to school the entire two weeks, we did everything together. We walked, talked, napped, did homework, ate together. The guys finally understood I needed my space. But I think it was time to reunite with my buddies. I grabbed my bike and placed the pink cardboard box in the white basket. I knew the guys would be there. I rode my bike until I finally stopped in front of Jake's house grabbing the box and heading out to the back.
"She seems cool, very quiet. " Embry's quiet deep voice said
"Which is code for boring. " Quill's chilly voice said. God, I missed that asshole.
"Shut up Quill! " Jake's strong voice yelled
I took a deep breath and turned the corner.
"Hola! " I waved my hand at them. They all froze together dropping anything that was in their hands. Quill looked over at Embry and then at Jake.
"Are we forgiven? " Quill asked stepping forward opening his arms. I looked over to the other guys who had half smiles on their faces.
"Forgiven with hugs and cupcakes. " I grinned and ran into Quill's arms.
"Group hug! " Embry yelled we all piled up in the hug.
"Gabster, you don't know how much we missed your butt! " Quill swung me around like crazy.
"Quill, she gets it, let us get in on some of that action! " Jake chuckled I was thrown into Jake's arms and hugged for dear life until I collide with Embry's strong chest.
"Embry I swear you get bigger every time I see you. "
"Yeah, my mom said the same thing. " He blushed and sat back down on a wooden chair.
"So, what's been up with you guys? "
"We met Bella today. " Jake blushed and started working on a dirt bike.
"Really, how is this Bella? " I asked watching Jake shake his head at Quill.
"She's boring, well kind of. Very quiet but she has her moments when she says something funny. "Jake grinned from being the bike.
"Well, if you guys approve, then I guess I should too. " Jake sent me a small smile.
"We approve of her, but you. " Quill pointed.
"What's going on with you and Paul? " Embry asked
. I sat myself up on the work bench and shook my head. It was going to come up in conversation one way or another.
"Nothing, we are just friends. I didn't have anyone but him. "
"Out of everyone you pick badass Paul Meraz. Come on Gabby! "Jake complained
"Look, he's a nice guy." I shrugged my shoulders trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. Paul was more of a friend after the last two weeks. From the cuddling, to the flirty comments to the hand holding.
"You said the same thing about Ricky. And look what happened with him. "Embry had a point. Paul and I started out like how Ricky and I did. But Paul wasn't Ricky. And Ricky wasn't Paul. And I never had major butterflies or chemistry with Ricky. All I could simply do was shrug my shoulders.
"Just be careful Gabs, I don't want you getting hurt. " Jake's eyes bore into mine.
"Same here Jake. " Jake's mouth remained in a thin line. He knew I had little doubt about him and Bella. The girl was in love with that Cullen boy.
P.P.O.V
She was funny in every way. Saying the strangest vulgar things. She wasn't what I suspected but she was something I loved more then anything. She was crazy and was just a plain trouble maker. But she was sweeter then any kitten I have met. Her hazel eyes always trapped my soul. She had opinions about everything; she used her brain unlike anybody I have ever met. She kept me entertained; there was no quiet moment with her. The way she walked and moved her hips or when she would bounce with her steps. She was gorgeous. I loved flirty with her, she always took it to another level and it was hot. She had no shame in her dirty comments or jokes. It was freakin hot. She listened to everything I had to say. I've known Jared for years and it took me up to the grade to open up to him. With Gabby I opened up to her the second day we hung out. She obviously was it for me. Who knew one person would be so important in my life.
Okay, so this is like a filler. But hold on with me readers. There will be drama but no vampire drama. Remember Jake hasn't phased yet so there really isn't any vamps around.
On another note I read an old review . Someone asked me if Jake, Embry and Quill had phased? No they haven't. As you saw Embry is getting bigger which means his time is coming. Paul and Jared are recent additions to Sam's pack. The next chapter may be the chapter where they finally get together. Who knows depends on the reviews I get. (hint hint)
