Sam's Soul Bonded
Part Five
BPOV
I woke up the next morning from another good nights rest. I had the same dream of Sam and I redecorating his house for a baby. I smiled softly as I got up I felt much better than yesterday, so I should be able to go out to lunch with Leah without any problems.
I walked over to the closet to sort through my clothes. I really never liked the clothing Alice forced on me and insisted I get rid of my favorite clothing. After grabbing most of the fashionable clothing out of my closet and onto my bed I grabbed a somewhat ratty pair of skinny jeans and a black Hoodie.
After getting showered and dressed I headed downstairs where the delicious aroma of Bacon, Eggs, and pancakes. I stood back and observed my man cooking in his tight jeans and a tank top. I felt my panties get a little damp, Sam looked up at me with his panty melting smile.
I loved the way his eyes roamed up and down my body stopping at my eyes. "you look beautiful I take it you are feeling better?" he asked in a husky voice that I loved to hear. I smiled at him as I got with in arms distance and leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes, do you think Leah will run a couple errands with me?" I asked him, as I sat at the table. Sam let out a hearty laugh.
"I wouldn't be surprised if that was her plan all along. I can dial her cell if you like and you can ask her yourself." Sam said as he got out his cell and dialed her number then handed it to me.
"Sam this better be good!" Leah growled apparently she wasn't a morning person.
"This is Bella not Sam." I replied. I heard Jake's voice on the other end.
"What's up B! You aren't canceling lunch are you?" Leah asked.
"No I need to take some clothes to good will and then I need to go shopping. And I know that you probably have better fashion sense than I do." I said lamely with a wince I hated shopping with a fiery passion.
"B Your style is actually pretty decent. Sure you could do to show a little more skin, but you strike me more as the conservative type anyway. Lets head out to Port Angeles, I will help you out!" Leah said and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Let me talk to her." Sam said and I hand the phone over to him.
"Hey Leah bring Jake and Paul with you guys, I know you can handle yourself but I don't want to take any chances." Sam said I smiled at his thoughtfulness.
He handed the phone back to me. "Hey B! Emily might be coming with us is that alright?" Leah asked I smiled to myself at making some good new friends.
"Lets invite Kim as well!" I said. Sam set my plate of food in front of me and I smiled up at him in thanks as I dug into my food.
"Alright I will make the calls, what is your cell number so we can chat more?" Leah asked and I smiled at the warm feeling of having someone really care for me in a platonic way.
I gave her my cell number and ate in silence while Sam went up to work on the bathroom plumbing. I put my dish in the sink, then went down to the basement to get some old card board boxes. I grabbed five big ones and tried dragging them up the stairs, after the fifth try I finally decided to call for Sam.
"Sam! Can you come down to the basement please?" I called out, not even three minutes later he came down and grabbed all five of them and carried them up.
I seriously appreciated the way his muscles flexed as I followed him up to my room. I thanked him with a scorching kiss before shooing him out with a laugh. My cell rang as I started boxing the clothes up. It was Leah.
"Hi just boxing the clothes that Alice Cullen forced on me." I said by way of greeting as I sat in the rocking chair. I will get rid of it while I am at it.
"alright meet me at Jake's in an hour! Em and Kim are in for a shopping spree with Jake and Paul as Guard Wolves/ Bag Slaves!" I snickered with Leah at the loud "Hey!" from her end.
"OK!" I said as I hung up the phone and finished packing, I had just over a half hour to meet Leah at Jake's.
"Let me get those to the truck for you!" Sam said as he picked up two boxes and went downstairs and out the front door. I just stood there and admired the view. How did I find Edward attractive again? I pondered to myself as Sam walked upstairs grabbed two more boxes and carried them out to the truck. I grabbed the last box and brought it out to the truck.
"Give me your cell I want to program my phone numbers into them." Sam said I handed it over to him and he programmed them in. I went back in and grabbed my jacket and purse that still had the debit card with no limit that Phil gave me when I moved here.
"Call me when you get to Jake's" Sam said as he kissed the top of my head. I climbed in my truck and drove out to La Push.
I saw the group out front with Harry, Charlie and Billy there as well. "Dad what are you doing here I thought you had to work?" I asked. Charlie shared a smirk with Harry and Billy.
"We are going up to the cabin for two weeks. I asked Sam if you could stay with him for two weeks and he said yes. Now I am trusting you not to get into any trouble." Charlie said.
I was so happy I hugged my dad! Two whole weeks with my new boyfriend, I couldn't wait! I know everyone who knows me is shocked that I initiated a hug but I was entitled!
"Thanks Dad! Now go on! Shoo! Shoo!" I said shooing the laughing older men away.
After they departed I pulled out my cell and called Sam.
"Hi precious, I take it you heard about staying over at my place for two weeks." his whiskey voice washed over me, I sighed goofily ignoring the sniggers from the peanut gallery.
"Yeah!" I said in a blissful way.
"alright the spare key is under the potted plant on the left of the door." He then gave me the directions to his place before hanging up.
"Alright! Leah and Paul in my truck, and Emily, Jake and Kim in Paul's." I said all business as I wanted to get rid of these clothes.
After dropping off the boxes of clothes at the Good Will, we headed to Seattle to go to the mall. When we got there we gathered in front of a map of the mall. Leah took charge immediately.
"Alright! Bella, and Jake will go with me, and Paul with Emily and Kim, we will meet at the food court in three hours!" Leah said in a tone that meant business, I can see why she was meant for Jacob she will keep him in line!
"Yes ma'am!" we all chorused.
Our first stop was JC Penney, I actually had a blast trying on everything Leah chose for me. Alice for all those months that she claimed to be my best friend, never understood that I was uncomfortable in the clothes she would choose for me. Where as Leah respected my taste and while the clothing showed a little more skin than I liked, it was still conservative enough for me.
I wound up buying five new pairs of skinny jeans, and ten shirts that flattered my slender curves. "It is not so bad shopping with you!" I said shocked as we left JC Penny with a smiling Jake trailing behind, letting us bond.
"I take it you had bad experiences shopping with someone before?" Leah asked curiously as we headed into Wilson's Leather Boutique.
"What are we doing in here?" I asked shocked. Leah gave me a wicked smirk.
"Well you have the kind of body that would look good in Leather Pants, and a Leather Jacket is good too." Leah answered as she led me to a rack that had leather pants in different colors. She handed me a black pair in my size, and chose a white pair for herself.
"Alice Cullen would drag me off to some upscale boutique somewhere and override every clothing decision I make! I don't mind shopping with you, you are good at this." I said as we went into separate dressing rooms. I stripped out of my jeans and tried the leather on. To my surprise I enjoyed the way they fit me, and how sexy I felt in them.
"Well then she wouldn't make a very good fashion consultant, not to mention a lousy friend." Leah said as we walked out and she walked around me critically. We both ignored the way Jake was leering at Leah.
"Is that what you are going to do as a career?" I asked as she smiled at me.
"while I love shopping and helping people find styles that fit them. I would have to move out of town and possibly out of State, my family and friends are here so I took up being a Nurses Aide instead and help out my mom at the clinic on the Rez." Leah answered as we went back in the dressing rooms and put our pants back on.
"How are Sam and you still friends? I mean most breakups I heard of are horrible but you two are wonderful together?" I asked blushing as we looked at leather jackets in colors matching our pants.
"Lee and Sam were best friends since they were children, they have known each other too long not to be friends. Like we would have been if your mom never left Charlie." Jake answered as I paid for our purchases.
"Sam and I love each other, and I was in love with him for a time, but we both realized that we were better off as best friends. So instead of ruining our friendship it made it stronger. You are the first girl Sam has shown any interest in, since our split. Women always threw themselves at Sam, even before he went wolf, but they were never right for him." Leah answered with a soft smile at me.
"Wow you look out for him and he watches out for you. I know it is so soon but I just fall for him more and more! Is that normal?" I asked the older girl.
"Well it is partly the imprint talking, but mostly it is Sam, he is truly a warm caring guy. I am glad that he has you now. I was worried about him being alone for the rest of his life." Leah said as we headed out and into Bath and Body Works. I picked out my favorite brand of bath products. After that we headed over to the food court, where I froze up at the sight of Edward Cullen.
"That is the ex boyfriend! B! What did you see in him?" Leah asked in a disgusted voice.
"Well I was naive and foolish at the time! I am glad that Sam is my man now!" I said in a voice that I knew would carry over to Edward.
We joined Paul, Emily and Kim after picking up some subs to eat. I ignored my ex as much as possible, I know I am being petty but I dare anyone to treat the lout differently if he had been a controlling prick to them like he was to me. Paul and Jake were tense and itching for a reason to fight, and to be honest so was I. When he came up to the table I knew all bets were off.
"Bella can I have a word with you without your...friends?" he asked and I knew he wanted to say something else.
"Edward anything you have to say to me can be said in front of my family." I smiled so sweetly I gave myself a tooth ache.
Even if I wasn't dating my Wolf Man, I knew that as soon as I was alone with Edward he would try his imitation Jedi Mind tricks. I also knew that it would piss Sam off if I went off with him. Jake and Paul smirked at Edward and I saw Emily, Leah, and Kim exchange relieved looks.
"I would prefer to talk alone Bella!" Edward said in a tone that meant my wilfulness was pissing him off to no end.
"Well Edward I couldn't give two shits about what you want, not after you led me out into the woods, broke up with me, and left without a backwards glance! So no I will not go anywhere with you, you are lucky my Wolf Man isn't here right now because he would so kick your sparkly ass!" I snapped at him.
I noticed Paul and Jake glance behind me, and I felt the strong hands of my man settle on my shoulders. I leaned into him as I breathed in his scent to calm my nerves.
"Well Edward you heard my woman, I would suggest you get to steppin before I stomp a mud hole in your ass and walk it dry." Sam growled as he lightly massaged my shoulders I tried to fight my shivers of desire this time as we were in public.
"I knew leaving you alone was a bad idea! Bella I insist you leave these uncouth mongrels and come with me!" He exclaimed in a tone that severely pissed me off.
Before I knew what I was doing I jumped out of my chair, over the table and punched Edward in the nose. I felt as my wrist broke, I whimpered in pain before everyone at the table exploded into action.
Emily and Kim pulled me back as Jake and Paul barely held back a snarling Sam. Leah was talking to Mall security, before they led me over to the first aid station to get my wrist checked out.
Sam held my bags beside me as my right wrist was wrapped up. Leah sat on my other side and handed me some Aleeve, and some water, which Sam helped me take.
"Seeing as Edward refused to leave her alone in front of witnesses after she asked him too. The mall won't be pressing charges, they do ask that we leave as soon as we are done here." Leah said but I could hear the laughter in her voice.
"She will need to have a follow up with her Family doctor, she is free to go." The EMT on duty said as he finished wrapping my wrist.
After we left the mall, everyone burst out laughing, and despite the pain in my wrist I was giggling too.
"That's my girl! But please don't go punching every leech you see!" Sam said as he led me to where he was parked which was right next to my truck.
"Jake take care of my beast!" I said as Sam tossed him my keys. Opened the passenger door for me and I climbed in, Sam fastened my seat belt for me. After tossing my purchases in the back he climbed in the driver's side.
After we got on the way he spoke up. "thank you for not going anywhere alone with him." Sam said.
"Even if we weren't together, I wouldn't have gone anywhere with him. Beside I knew you would have found out about it, and I didn't want to strain our new relationship that way." I answered with a smile at him. His answering smile made my panties melt.
"You have enough trust in me that you would announce our relationship in public! I know we never really discussed our relationship yet." Sam said and I giggled.
"I know it is so soon after what Edward did to me, but being with you these last three days has made me feel the safest I ever had before. Yes you like control, but unlike with Edward you put me first, you make me want to be taken care of. I can't say that I won't get annoyed with it at times, but I feel special with you." I answered him honestly.
"After Leah I never really though I would find a woman who would truly care for me as a person. I loved Leah with everything I had, but we were too different, I realized most women don't like being taken care of completely. But then I found you in the woods the other night and you needed me. I felt complete when I looked in your eyes and our bond formed. I love the fact that you like being taken care of, and I will try not to be controlling to the extent that you lose yourself." Sam said and I heard the raw tenderness in his voice.
"OK lets set some ground rules. I will text you when I leave without you letting you know where I am at, who I am with, and when I will be back." I said, most girls would be annoyed with that but then again I have never been like most girls.
"I was going to insist on that myself, I can't think of any other ones outside of you not punching any other leech out." He said and I laughed at that.
"Alright I can live with that! He just got me so mad when he insulted you! I just went Buffy on his ass!" I said.
"So who is your family doctor?" Sam asked getting serious again. I groaned when I realized that I didn't have one here.
"I don't have one! When I was with Edward Dr. Carlisle took over that role." I said, Sam was pensive for a minute.
"Do you want to call him? I mean down to Forks General? He does seem to care for you a lot, and I am sure by now he already knows about your exploits." He said and I could hear how much he disliked that idea but respected me enough to leave it up to me.
I thought about it, I did miss him, but I didn't really want to be around them any more than I had to.
"No, I appreciate that you are willing to call him for me. But I don't want him or his family around unless it is absolutely necessary. If I was in a serious accident, where I needed his expertise then alright but not for something that any other doctor or nurse can take care of." I answered honestly.
"Good because I hate dealing with them more than I absolutely need to." Sam said as we entered La Push.
His cell phone rang and he handed it to me to answer it.
"Sam Uley's phone." I answered and I heard a wizened old voice on the other end.
"You must be Bella, tell Sam that Young Quil is about to phase and I sent him out back of the store." The wizened voice said and I could tell he was amused.
"He will be right there." I said and hung up the phone as Sam headed to the Ateara General Store.
When we got there Sam got out of the truck, helped me down and raced out back. I saw an old couple, the woman looked like she could be related to me, with almost the same facial structure. The man looked like an older version of the Quil that I vaguely remembered playing with as a kid.
"Hi I am Bella Swan!" I greeted somewhat awkwardly. The woman's eyes lit up in recognition, she ran over and surprised me with a hug.
"I am your great aunt Molly! You do look like little Charlie alright! Come in! Come in!" Molly said as she ushered me into the store. I looked at Old Quil with a 'Help!' expression but he just sniggered at me.
"Oh no! I learned long ago not to interfere with my Molls."Old Quil said as he walked in and led us into the back office where Molly began making tea.
"So tell me about yourself?" She asked and I began telling them everything about my life in Phoenix, moving here, meeting Edward, and everything leading up to today.
Old Quil had a pensive look on his face, Sam came in before OQ could say anything with a calmer young Quil behind him. I smiled at Quil, he smiled back before sitting next to Molly.
"It seems your bond with Young Sam isn't an imprint. But more of a Soul Bond than anything, imprint bonds show the wolf to someone who could be a Soul Mate. But not necessary a perfect soul mate, and can be broken if the wolf fights it hard enough or the imprintee does something terrible to the wolf." OQ said. Sam and Quil looked confused.
"So if the imprintee is a baby then the bond will be somewhat weak?" I asked curious about this stuff.
"well the normal imprint bond won't form until the child is of the age of consent. But the wolf will still be protective of the child, and be it's best friend or brother. Soul Bonds are permanent because they cannot be broken, and are rare because they form when two people's souls are exactly perfect for each other." OQ said I smiled at Sam who gave me a radiant smile in return.
"So Bella and I are effectively married?" Sam asked as it seemed to dawn on him what OQ has said. Quil and Molly were silently observing us.
"In the eyes of the Great Spirits yes, but not according to law, so if you still want to get married in a few years that option is still open." OQ said.
"Well I need to get Bella down to Forks General to get her wrist examined by an actual doctor. Quil I want you to work with Jared and Angela on controlling your phasing." Sam said and I picked up my purse.
After we said our goodbyes we headed out front to his truck and he drove us to the hospital. I dialed my dad as we were on our way.
"So is it Buffy or Bella?" My dad cracked a rare joke, I guess he already heard about the mall incident.
"Still Bella, I am on my way down to Forks General to get my wrist examined by a real doctor. So either Leah or Jake told you about the mall incident?" I asked, my dad chuckled.
"Leah called Harry, and Jake called Billy! As a Police Chief I have to yell at you, but as your father I have to say 'That's my girl!'" my father chortled causing me to giggle myself.
"I just called to let you know what happened." I said then hung up. I saw the amused smirk on Sam's face that matched my own.
