Hello my lovelies!

Hurraaaay chapter four! Thank you so much for all of the reviews, seriously. Seriously. Yes. So, here we have another kind of soft chapter, I wanted to make it a little lighter than the last one though. As we get all of this set up though...it opens up the relationship! Yay! Soon sexin' time, yes? Yes! Any who, read on my dears, read on!

Of course, I don't own Twilight or anything, I like to lick Paul every now and then though. Emmett too. Jasper also...Alice...Rose...fuck it, anyway!

Chapter Four- Ranting and a Curse

I'll make it all go away Bambi...

Keeping my eyes locked on hers, I nodded my head.

Paul's POV

Taking a deep breath I leaned back in my seat, wrapping my free arm around Bella's lower back as the one laying over her thighs tightened to hug her to me. Thankfully, she let me hold her, my wolf needed to somehow make it up to her.

We seriously fucked up.

Yeah. Fuck, I didn't know she'd react like that, but as I held her I noticed her relax a little more before her small hands pressed against my chest lightly to get me to release her. Unwrapping my arms from around her, she sat up her eyes closed as she took deep, even breaths.

"I don't think I've seen Paul this focused on anything...ever..."

Bella's eyes opened up wide with a blush racing up her cheeks as she looked over at Jared with a small smile, then over to me, her smile thankfully staying in place.

"Paul...a-are you okay with it?"

No, Bambi. I just hold you in my lap and flirt shamelessly like a dog-yeah I know, funny- because it's the only mode of survival...Well...Actually...

"I mean how could you be! I dated a vampire and they're your mortal...immortal...whatever enemy, isn't this like...I don't know but I mean it's...how..."

Wow, she's a little worked up over this...

Jared and Emily's laughs filtered through her rant as everyone else just smiled fondly at Bella, my own smile beaming over at her as her rant tapers off into a look of confusion.

"Bella, first of all-We're so much better than vampires, so we're proud you were eligible for an upgrade", I smiled at her and her giggle sounded from her throat, making me snort when her eyes widened a little bit in surprise at the sound,"And second of all, Bella no one here hates you, you know that, right? The leeches should have known better, they know the rules, and they fucked up, and then dumped you and left you here. You aren't to blame for this. So yeah...I'm okay with it. You're my everything right now, I couldn't not be okay with it".

I watched her as she took a deep sigh, also noting how her breasts rise and fell quite nicely, seeing as she allowed Jacob's sweatshirt to slip down her shoulders.

Thank god for small favors and massive amounts of body heat.

Eventually Sam showed up and took Bella outside to sit on a few of the fallen trees around the fire pit, and explain some of the finer points of imprinting. The simple things, you know- Connected for life, how sometimes we can feel each others fears or something like that, and of course the small fact that this is a lifelong commitment for the wolf. Little things.

I snorted at my inner musings, standing up as Bella stepped back into the house with Sam in tow. Of course, being the gentleman that I am, I smiled after her after I let my gaze look over every visible inch of her, laughing when she cleared her throat and shyly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

"Paul? Do you-do you think that you could bring me home?"

Oh Bambi I'll take you anywhere. Bed, forest, trees, movies...hmmmm...dumbass pay attention

"Sure babe, come on"

Thankfully I left my truck here before I joined everyone, so I stood up from the bench, stretching my arms above my head and groaned. A small gasp reached my ears and when I looked at Bambi, she was staring at me a little dazed. I walked over, slowing my gait a little, allowing my body to stay angled directly at hers until the last second, letting my body narrowly turn the other way to brush along her as I opened the door behind her, my other hand guiding her towards it. The answering gasp was louder than the first, and I smirked when she shuddered against my side.

Oh have I got some plans for you.

"Say goodbye, Bella"

"B-bye everyone! Emily thank you for the muffins, Jake call me later so we can talk!"

I chuckled as I ushered her out of the door, listening to her voice get louder and speed up as I stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind me,"Ready to go?"

I watched as Bambi ducked her head, letting some of her hair cover her right cheek, tugging the sleeves of Jake's sweatshirt down over her palms again.

We have got to get her a new sweatshirt.

Her shy smile made me smile all over again as she nodded yes, and with that I brought her over to my truck.

Oh hello baby, don't worry, daddy still loves you even though Bambi is in the picture now.

The ride to Bella's was quiet, but I noticed she was comfortable so I just let her sit silently with her own thoughts. When she opened her eyes, I didn't bother looking away from her while turning onto her street.

"Paul...shouldn't you be...ummm...", she laughed a little nervously tilting her head towards the windshield.

I smirked, keeping my gaze on her, letting my eyes drop down her form a little bit before following back up just to see the red light up on her cheeks again.

"Nah, I'm perfectly fine with watching you while I drive", I chuckled, turning into her driveway and coming to a stop.

"See?"

Bella stayed quiet for a few minutes before giggling loudly and shaking her head, and opened up the door to hop out of the truck. Well...more like wiggled down so she was closer to the ground before hopping out. Waiting for her to shut the door, I ran my hands over my hair and sighed.

Fuck, don't let her go yet.

"Um...Paul? Do you...do you want to come inside? You know so we can talk about the imprint and stuff and..."

I grinned...like a lovesick idiot might I add, and turned to open the door, jumping down out of my truck. My lovely little imprint met me on my side and to my surprise, grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. As tight as she can that is.

Glancing out of the corner of my eye I noticed her blush on her cheeks, and chuckled quietly as she swatted lightly at my shoulder with her free hand and tugged me into the house after momentarily messing with her keys. I held tight to her hand as she shuffled through the entryway, dragging me along behind her into the kitchen. Bella's hands nudged me towards a chair, before lightly pulling her hands away from me.

"Want something to eat? Or drink?"

"Some water would be nice actually".

I of course watched as she turned around and bent over into the fridge, pulling out two water bottles. How could I not watch? Even without the imprint, Bella was absolutely gorgeous. Not that she'd ever admit it, or realize it of course. To avoid embarrassing her even further I looked away when she turned around, choosing to instead drag one of her chairs over in front of mine, smiling happily when she sat down in front of me, letting her knees touch against mine. I leaned back, taking a gulp of my water, watching her slide Jake's sweatshirt off with a heavy sigh.

"So..."

"So..."

I watched her chew on her bottom lip for a moment, listening to another one of her sighs before she started. Oh boy, did she start.

"I...I don't know what to say about this. I mean I just got over Edward, it's seriously a miracle that I can say his name and Jacob helped me with that, but then this thing happened with you and I want to try and go slow with everything and ease my way into this whole new relationship? I don't know. But-but I can't, everything in me is telling me to be relaxed and cling onto you, and I'm just so damn comfortable around you and I'm tired of being alone and god you're just so warm and hot and I miss the heat I need the heat for fuck's sake why am I rambling so much, oh!"

She ended her rant with a gasp, one of her hands clapping over her mouth as she stared wide eyed at me . I lasted all of three seconds, before I busted out laughing, equally amused at her rant, as the reaction to her hearing herself say fuck.

And the corruption begins! Mwahaha.

Yes, I evil laughed myself. Anyway, my laugh bellowed out into the small kitchen, followed by her tinkling laugh as she finally relaxed again and seemed to melt into the chair as she finally calmed down.

"Bella honestly just breathe...we're stuck with this for life, but aren't you at least happy that I'm pretty?"

She snorted and grinned up at me, her hands grabbing onto mine. I smirked, quirking an eyebrow up and she squared her shoulders and squeezed tighter onto my hands.

Awe, look at Bambi getting all bold. Oh, and really? Pretty? When the fuck are we pretty.

Fuck, it's like I'm slowly losing my man card. My wolf didn't even seem irritated by it...just amused.

"I guess...Paul I want to try".

Fucking. Score.

Yaaaaay new chapter done! Review please my lovelies, they really do help!
