I Know I had not been sleeping for long when I woke next to Paul; the rain was falling hard outside making me want to snuggle down with him even more. Paul still slept besides me, he must have been more tired than I thought, and my watching him would normally would have woken his wolf. His broken arm lay beside him on the bed. The skin on his arm had turned black and blue while he was sleeping. I hated seeing him hurt, I was just glad that he would heal and be as good as new.

I groaned as stretched as I sat up, we had to get up, his mother would be arriving anytime now. I just did not want to give up any alone time with him. I smiled as I leaned down brushing my finger's genitally against his for head.

"Paul, wake up, your mom's going to be here soon." he opened his eyes and smiled he leaned back stretching forgetting about his broken wrist. He flinched in pain as he moved his arm.

"Do we have to." he growled sitting up looking sexier than anyone had the right to be.

"Yeah, do you really want your mother to walk in here and see you in bed with me, you know very well if she goes to your house and you're not home she will come here next"

He smiled standing up from the bed holding his good hand out to me.

"Yeah it would probably give her a heart attack; she would be thinking she's finely getting grandchildren."

I couldn't help it I busted out laughing, it was my dream to have Paul's babies but I knew he didn't see me that way. We were best friends and that's all we will ever be.

"That's just mean. "He shot me a smirk; he knew I think he knew my heart melted every time he gave it to me. Treacherous bitch that heart of mine.

"So since I'm Injured, are you still going to help me pick up?" I shook my head at him. Damn this guy was hopeless when it came to housekeeping. But no matter what I would help him, plus it would give us more time to be together.

"I guess, but I'm asking dad if I can drive the truck, I'm not looking forward to another incident."

Paul growled " Don't worry about them damn leech's, Once my arm's healed I'm going after them, they'll never be able to hurt you." My heart jumped as he looked at me with his hard glare. The glare that let me know that he spoke the truth, the one that said he was never going to let anything happen to me.

I shook my head as I got off the bed heading down stairs with Paul right behind me, why the hell did I fall in love with a wolf. Like I could have helped it Paul was the best, I only wish he would look at me as more than a friend.

Mom was sitting at table a book in front of her; she put down her book before Paul could joke around about her newest romance fantasy. Poor mom, having to out up with all the wolf's for all these years.

"Mom do you mind if I take the truck, I'm heading over to Paul's to help him clean before his mother gets here."

"Go ahead honey, your dad's not going to want you walking anywhere for a while alone anyway."

I rolled my eyes at her every time one of the wolves caught the scent of a vampire, my social life suffered. I grabbed the keys from the hook heading out the door; Paul followed me out of the house staying close to me till we reached the truck.

It was after one by the time we made it to Paul's house the rain had not let up so we ended up being drenched by the time we ran from the truck to the house.

"OMG that was cold." I laughed as Paul disappeared into his bedroom re-emerging with basketball shorts and a t-shirt

"Here go change, you can throw your clothes in the dryer." I smiled at him as I held the clothes close to me. They smelled like him, I was so glad at this moment that he could not read my mind. It would be so embarrassing for him to know how I was really feeling for him.

"Hopefully there done before your mom gets here, last thing we need is for her to see me in your clothes." I smiled as I stood rooted in place.

"Go change, before I tell her I had you between my sheets." I sent him a glare

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh I would Dre my beautiful little Andrea." His laughter followed me all the way to the bathroom. I changed as quickly as I could, and then hurried down the hall stopping only to throw my clothes in the dryer. I decided it was time to help Paul. He was already busy finishing the little bit of dish's had in his sink. It was funny watching him try to do the dishes with one arm. I suddenly felt bad for him, He had gotten hurt protecting me.

"Paul why don't you let me do that?" He turned around flicking soap at me.

"Thanks, but I got it, why don't you work on the living room" He said turning back to his dish's.

I looked around at the living room; it wasn't messy for a guy, which made me happy I had seen some of the bachelor wolf's places and they were downright slobs. My wolf seemed to have better sense than that. There I go again thinking of him as my wolf, I knew I needed to stop thinking like that.

"I better not find any dirty condoms in here, if I do, so help me I'll never help you clean again." I yelled with a smile on face as I began grabbing up his dirty clothes that lay scattered all across the room. It was clear my hansom wolf must walk in the door after patrol, strip and fall into bed. My wolf when did I start thinking of him like that. I knew I needed to stop because it was really going to hurt when he got a serious girlfriend.

Hell just our age difference should have me running for the hills. I finished up the living room as Paul walked up behind me wrapping his arms around me, god I could get used to this. I looked back at him and smiled.

"Thank you for the help." He whispered as he leaned in kissing me softly on the lips. I melted into his kiss; this was my dream come true. He turned me gently as I wrapped my arms around his neck not wanting him to pull away. I forced myself to take a step back from him as the doorbell rang.

"Saved by the bell" I laughed

He took a deep breath, his eye's meeting mine before he turned opening the door Paul's mother was short woman in her mid-sixty's, her hair slightly starting to gray in spot's, she really did not look bad for her age. I had known his mother all my life; I knew just how close she and Paul were. I loved the relationship Paul had with his mother. It was funny hearing them talk, I have never heard a mother and son talk so openly about their sex life' first I thought it was disgusting but once I heard it a few times, I came to expect it from them.

"Hey I'm going to get heading home so you and your mom can visit."

Paul looked at me like I had slapped him in the face. "Stay, for a bit, please"

"Yeah stay honey I have not seen you in forever sweet heart, look at you all grown up such a beautiful woman now." I smirked as his mother elbowed Paul in the ribs causing him to flinch.

" I know, it good to see you also Mary, but I really need to get home, I promised my mother I would help her with some apple pie's this afternoon."

My eyes met Paul's for a moment; he looked like someone had just run over his dog." Alright, I'll walk you to the truck, Mom do you have more bags in the car."

She shook her head, "No I'll get them son, don't think I have not noticed your wrist. Did you have Emily look at it?"

"Yes mother, both bones are broken. I'll be fine in a few days thanks to my super wolf healing powers."

"Oh by the way Mary, Paul's off wolf duty for a few days till the bones heal."

I heard him grown behind me serves him right, that's what he gets for scarring me, Poor Paul now that his mother knew he had no excuse to leave and try to patrol while she was around.

Paul followed me out to the truck; at least the rain had finely turned into a fine mist. It was better than getting drenched every time I walked outside.

"Drea, I didn't make thing's weird between us did I." He asked looking down at the muddy ground

I turned around looking him. He looked scared, that was defiantly a look I had never seen on his face before.

"No of course not, you could never do that. You're my best friend and there is nothing you could do to change that."

"Good, cause I like you a lot." I shook my head as I opened the truck door. I really wish those words were how they sounded. Paul could have any girl on the rez, why the hell would he waste his time with me.

"Go visit with your mom, I'll see you later." I smiled at him, really wanting him to kiss me again.

"Do you mind if I stop by and talk to you latter." I think he was waiting for me to say no, he just looked so damn cute as he stood there.

"Sure, but I think you should visit with your mom, you can see me anytime you want." I said jumping up into the truck.

"Not as often as I would like." he muttered as he walked back towards the house. I don't understand why these wolves think just because I am not one; I can't hear the things they say.

Damn I was going to have one hell of a time keeping the truck on the road and my mind off Paul.

Please review, I love hearing the feedback. I am currently updating my old chapter's.
