Chapter Five - Movies
PPOV
Bella made burgers and chips for Dinner, she must have noticed that I eat a lot because she gave me extra. This made me happy, because it showed that she pays attention to me.
Dinner went by quickly and I kept feeling Charlie's eyes on me. When I turned to look at him he would just give me a huge grin and look down.
I helped Bella with the dishes and then we agreed that I would go home and get changed and come pick her up in an hour. I was excited, I kept wondering how it would go, and if we would actually kiss. After what happened this morning, I couldn't stop fantasizing about how her lips would fell like on mine.
I walked into my house and instantly saw the suitcase at the bottom of the stairs. Great, mum is going away again on another business trip.
My Dad had died when I was little in a car crash on his way home from work. I was only two at the time so I don't remember him at all. My mum had taken it hard and now all she does is work, I don't think she has had a day off in 15 years, not even Christmas. I've been going to Charlie's for Christmas the past few years because he hates the fact I would be in an empty house by myself. When I was younger I used to move all over the country with my mum whilst she worked, but when I was thirteen I had enough and told her that I wanted to come back to my home town. It's a good job she let me because a year later I was a werewolf.
My mum is a nice woman don't get me wrong, I love her. But she doesn't know that she needs to be here for me. She probably spends a total of a month at home in a year, the rest of the time I'm alone. She sends money home every week for food and clothes but it's not the same as her being here.
She has no idea that I am a werewolf and I have no intention in telling her, I mean she would probably put me in mental institute or something.
The guys know all know about my mum leaving me all the time, but I make out to them that I don't care and that I love living by myself. But I don't and only Charlie knows that. I put on a tough front and fool everyone around me. When I phase, I think about how much I love being independent just to add to the cover.
I just wish that I had someone whilst I was growing up but I didn't so that's why I have angry issues.
"Paul? Is that you?" My mum poked her head out of the kitchen door and saw me. "Darling, I've got to rush my plane is due to leave soon." She walked out of the kitchen and picked up her suitcase.
My mum was a very beautiful woman. She has long, straight brown hair and green eyes. She's very thin and is quiet tall at 5`8. She always wears posh business suits, I have never seen her in anything casual, like jeans. Today she was wearing black trousers and a white blouse. She also had on a pair of 6 inch heels, I seriously don't know how she walks in them things, never mind runs in them to catch a plane.
"Right, I'll be back in a couple of months, bye!" She pushed past me and walked out the door, closing it behind her. She barely even looked at me. She had only been back two days and at that I hadn't even had a conversation with her, because she locks herself in her office.
I looked at the time. I have 45 minutes until I go and pick Bella up. I think I might go for a quick run.
I walked back out the houses and towards the woods. When I got far enough, I took off my clothes and phased. I hadn't phased in 3 days, it felt good to be able to run free. I could feel my muscle stretching as I ran faster and deeper into the woods.
I spent about ten minutes running around and just trying not to think about anything that was happening in my life at the minute and just kept an image of Bella in my head.
I couldn't hear anyone else's thoughts so I knew that nobody else in the pack had phased.
I quickly ran back to my clothes and phased back. After putting my clothes back on I ran back to the house and jumped straight into the shower.
When I got out I couldn't think of what to wear I normally don't care but I want tonight to be special and I want to look my best for my Bella.
After changing into a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt, I looked at the time. I had five-minutes to get there. She only lived up the road so I was going to be early. I bet she thinks that I'm desperate. Which I am, I really want to be in her presence every second of the day. I thought about waiting around the house for the ten minutes but the seconds felt like hours and I couldn't cope.
When I got in my truck I thought of something that I could do to pass the minutes so I drove to the shop at the end of the road.
As I walked in I realized that they might not sell what I want, after all it's only a little shop. But luck was on my side because at the far side of the shop was many different types of flowers.
I don't know what type of flowers Bella likes though so I just spent a couple of minutes looking and then. That when I saw the most perfect one. One single rose. It was so beautiful and even had a small red ribbon tied around the bottom. This was perfect Bella would love it.

How can Paul imprint on Bella?
At first I was shocked at the idea of Paul, the werewolf that has no self control and thinks he owns the world, being in love with Bella Swan, the sweetest, caring girl that I know.
But now I'm starting to think that I was wrong. I know I was out of line to say that Paul would hurt Bella and when he jumped on me, I could tell by the look in his eyes that he would never hurt her.
None of us have spoken to Bella and Paul since yesterday except Seth and Sam. Sam said that he was been a pig head to him, as usual. We were waiting for Seth to join us at my house to tell us how his day went with Paul.
This morning when I saw Bella calm Paul down and tell him to apologize I think I stopped breathing. Paul had never, ever, ever said sorry to anyone at all. I can't believe that all Bella had to do was grab his hand to calm him. When anyone else has tried to stop him from lashing out at someone he just normal pushed them off and beat the shit out of someone. But no not this time, all he does is say sorry.
Sam and Jared seemed to know this would happen though, they know how it feels to Imprint. But even they were shocked at what we witnessed. Paul being calm is not something that we see very much.
Seth finally arrived. We had to try and not be too obvious about everything, I mean after all he still doesn't know about werewolves and imprinting. He had been here about 5 minutes when Quil decided he couldn't wait any longer.
"So how was your day with Paul and Bella?" he asked eagerly and everyone turned to Seth waiting for his answer.
He shrugged his shoulders and said "It was alright we went grocery shopping and to the beach."
That doesn't tell us anything. "Was Paul been nice?" Sam asked.
Seth laughed. "I don't see why you guys think that he has really bad angry issues. He was really nice to me all day" Everyone gasped at him. Paul was NICE to him. "He's got it bad for Bella too, all day he didn't take his eyes of her and he is so gentle with her. It's sort of cute." He laughed again.
"GUYS!" Jared yelled. He was looking out of the window again. He always stands there just in case Kim pops around. He waved his hand telling us to go over to him. We did and when we looked out of the window we were shocked.
Paul was walking towards Bella's door…………with a RED ROSE in his hand.
Who is this and what are they doing in Paul's body. He knocked on the door and waited. He looked nervous. Ha-ha Paul's nervous! He will never live this down.
Bella answered the door and came outside. He gave her the rose and she blushed. She hugged him and the look on Paul's face was a picture, he looked like a little kid that had gotten everything he ever wanted for Christmas.
Bella disappeared back into the house and seconds later she came back out. She kissed him on the cheek and we saw something that we thought we would never see in all our lives. PAUL BLUSHED.
Seth laughed at our expressions. He was the only on that didn't look surprised by this. "See told you he was completely in to her" He said whilst sitting back down.
What has happened to Paul?

I was shocked when Paul gave me a red rose. He is beyond sweet. I can't believe someone like him was actually going on a date with me tonight. I didn't deserve him.
We nearly KISSED this morning! I said nearly, Seth interrupted, but when he did I surprised by Paul's reaction. He was really mad….. Did this mean HE WANTED TO KISS ME?
This made me beyond happy all day and I just couldn't stop smiling. Maybe me and Paul could become more than friends. I was upset that I didn't get to kiss him, and I haven't stopped picturing that moment when our lips were going to touch each other. It felt out of this world my heart was hammering against my chest at that moment and all my body had gone numb because we were pressed so tightly together. I could feel all his muscle press against me, it felt so right and I just wanted more.
I looked out of the window of Paul's truck, we were on our way to Port Angeles. We had been talking about everything from our favourite movies to music. We seemed to have so much in common and I couldn't help but think that this was meant to be.
"So what movie do you want to watch?" he asked. I turned back to him. He was watching the road and the look of concentrate on his face was extremely cute.
"Ermm I'm not sure" I thought for a minute. I know what type of movie he thought I was going to choose.
"What about The Fast and the Furious?" He looked at me gone out.
"You want to go watch that?" He asked me disbelief.
"Yes, don't you want to watch that?"
He laughed and said "Yes, I do. But I thought you would want to watch a chick flick or something"
I had to laugh at this. I shook my head and looked back out of the window. "I didn't mean to offend you. Are you mad at me? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed" I felt his hand on my arm. I looked at him and he was no longer driving. That when I realized that we were parked outside the movies.
"I'm not mad at you!" I laughed. He removed his hand and looked at his hands embarrassed. Awwww he looked so cute when he was embarrassed. Wait he looked cute all the time.
"So are we going to go and watch The Fast and the Furious?" I asked. He looked up and laughed as he got out of the car. I went to open my door but he was already there. I smiled up at him as he reached for my hand and gently pulled me out of the truck.
He kept hold of my hand. We had a debate about who was going to pay for the tickets and refreshments he won both, to my disappointment.
As we sat down and he released my hand I felt empty and cold. Then I noticed that he had moved the arm rest and moved closer towards me.
I looked at him. He was looking straight forward with a small barely visible smile on his face.
The lights dimmed to signal that the movie was about to start. I turned my attention to the screen.

I couldn't believe my luck I was sat rather close to the most beautiful girl in the world. When I let go of her hand when we sat down, I felt like I was lost. I needed to be closer so I moved the arm rest up and moved closer to her. I hope she didn't notice I bet she would think I was a right freak.
I couldn't pay attention to the movie when I knew I had a breathtaking angel sat next to me. I spent most of the movie shooting glances at her. She looked like she was deep in thought about something.
Half way through the movie Bella got up and went to the bathroom. When she moved past me, I smelt her sweet scent. This made me want to kiss her even more. But I won't. I don't know if that is what she wants.
When she was gone, I took the time to catch up with what was happening in the movie. In no time at all Bella was back. She sat closer to me this time and rested her head on my shoulder. I forgot to breath she was so close, I couldn't seem to be able to form a thought so I did the only thing that seemed right at the time. I put my arm around her. I felt her snuggle deeper into my shoulder. I couldn't help but let a wide smile break across my face. I had an angel in my arms.
The movie ended quickly after that, but I really didn't want to move. The credits were rolling on the screen and people were getting up to leave. I looked down at Bella. Her head still resting on my shoulder as she looked up at me. Her legs were curled up under her. She looked really comfy.
I smiled down at her and she smiled back.
"Do we have to leave?" She pouted. At least I wasn't the only on that didn't want to go.
"I'm afraid we do Bella" She kept the pout on her lips. I couldn't say no to that. "Okay, maybe we can stay a few more minutes until everyone else clears out."
She smiled again. That smile alone can light up my heart. I was glad that I had made her smile like that. She looked back down.
"Thanks Paul, I have had a really good time tonight" She said.
"Bella, you're not meant to say that until the date is over" I laughed. She joined in with her little giggles.
When we finished laughing. She spoke again. "I know but this seems like the best time to say it"
I bent down and kissed her forehead and whispered "I couldn't agree more" I heard her let out a happy sigh.
We sat there in silence for a few more minutes. I couldn't help but think about how perfect this was. I looked around and noticed that everyone had gone and the cleaners were getting ready to clean up popcorn and split drinks.
"Bella, we need to leave" I whispered in her ear. She nodded and stood up. I followed her lead as we made our way out of the theatre and to my truck. As I did before, I lift her into the truck, this time though I felt her hands trailing up and down my chest. I shivered. It felt so good to have her touch me.
As I drove home Bella leant against me again and I held her hand. This all felt so natural now and it felt like I had known Bella for a long time and not just a day.
We pulled up outside Bella's and I saw Jake's curtains twitch as me and Bella walked to the door.
"Right now I'm going to say it again. Thanks Paul, I have had a really good time tonight and at the beach earlier"
"I did too Bella" We were stood opposite each other now. My hand still in hers. She didn't seem to want to let go. "We should do it again sometime" It came out as barely a whisper. I couldn't seem to stop what came out of my mouth next. "Bella, can I kiss you?" I asked, still whispering. What about if she said no?
"yes" She whispered back. We lent closer together. Her arms went around my neck again and mine went around her waist. This is real we was going to kiss this time. Our lips went closer, closer, closer…………
"BELLA, PAUL!"
That voice came from no other than Jacob.
Bella sighed and dropped her arms. I did the same. The second time in one day. I felt my anger boiling up.
"Paul, Sam wants to talk to you about something tomorrow and Bella me, Quil and Embry want to hang around with you" We both agreed. This means that I wouldn't be able to see Bella tomorrow. Jake went back inside. Bella turned to me, again. She looked a bit uncomfortable.
"well, I Ermm best go in. I'll see you at school I guess" She said as she opened up her house door.
"Yes, night Bella" I nodded and walked towards my truck.
"Night" I heard her whisper.
Even if I hadn't kissed my angel, it was still the best night of my life.
