Hey guys! So, incredibly short chapter here, which will be followed by Paul's and Lucy's date, which I like to think is adequate.
Disclaimer: Twilight is owned by Stephanie Meyer, I am not she.
Paul could tell that Jared knew something big had happened the minute Paul walked in the front door. His expression probably looked more calm than anyone had seen it in years. He flopped down on the couch beside his friend, feeling sightly on edge now that he was away from his imprint.
He wanted nothing more than to sit outside her house, guarding her from anything that could harm her, but he wasn't so pathetic that he actually would. After all, that was what Jared had done with Kim, and Paul Lahote wasn't that big of a pansy, not even now.
"Paul," Jared asked cautiously, not wanting to anger him. "Are you okay?"
Paul turned to look at Jared, a wide smile on his face. "I'm great."
If Jared had seemed apprehensive before, he looked downright terrified now.
Paul noticed Jared's expression and decided to tell him the good news, knowing he was going to be teased relentlessly from this moment forward. "I imprinted."
There was a chorus of "What?" From Jared as well as Seth and Embry who'd been hiding in the kitchen, which probably meant they'd eaten all the food. Again. Normally, Paul would have thrown a fit, but now, he was too distracted by thoughts of her.
"Congratulations man, that's awesome!" Jared said, clapping him on the back. "Who is she?"
Paul was almost embarassed at how eager he was to talk about her. "Her name's Lucille. She's... amazing. Absolutely incredibe."
In the kitchen he heard Seth mutter to Embry, "Oh man, he's going to be worse than Jared."
