A/N: Hey y'all. Sorrryyyyy! Been busy with uni and I was away for the summer so I haven't had time to actually update a chapter. Well just a very short chapter. Don't forget to review! XD
"What type of question is that? I don't like the idea of you ogling another guy when I'm right here" he huffed.
"Babe I'm sorry. It just came out. I mean he's good looking but he's not you. He never will be you. No one will ever replace you" I soothed.
"Really?" he whispered as his eyes shined with emotion.
"Really really. I can't think of anyone better than you to be my other half. My prince" his face lit up as I said it. He looked like someone had given him the best Christmas present anyone could have wished for.
I lifted myself off his body and moved to lie next to him. He wrapped an arm around my waist as I rested my head on his chest. I started drawing light circles on his chest while he lighted caressed my waist with his warm fingers.
I sighed sleepily and he kissed me on the head before I drifted off to sleep. The sex had worn me out badly, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
I woke up the next morning and stretched my hand towards his side of the bed thinking his body was there. But all I felt was the bed sheets. I felt around again and still had the same result. I opened my eyes, blinking furiously to get rid of the sleepiness from my eyes. I was alone in the bedroom. Where was he?
I got out of bed and wrapped one of his bed robes around me before I headed into the bathroom to freshen up. Once I finished I headed downstairs and he was in the kitchen. I heard the pans clattering together.
I moved towards the kitchen door and I saw him standing there by the stove making breakfast. It smelt amazing, good thing he was making food. I was starving. I needed my energy. There were quite a few dishes on the table already, but with us being a wolf it wouldn't be enough.
"Morning Swan. Coffee is ready if you want a cup" he said softly without turning around. Of course he would sense that I was there, wolf senses.
"Oh good, thanks" we both knew that I needed my coffee in the morning. I have to have caffeine in the morning.
I grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured myself a cup of coffee. I wrapped my hands around the cup and took a sip. I sighed out loud happily as I felt the hot liquid down my throat. He chuckled at me. I walked towards him and pressed a kiss on his shoulder before I propped my elbows on the counter staring out the window.
The weather was amazingly beautiful; you don't get that a lot in La Push. I wanted to go to the beach.
Then I realised that we were going to have a bonfire tonight. I needed to go shopping. I ran out the kitchen to the hallway and picked up the phone and called Leah. She answered grumpily, I had woken her up. Oops. I told her to come to my house in two hours; we had to go food shopping for the bonfire.
She quickly agreed before she hung up on me. I chuckled at how eager she was to get off the phone, maybe she had a late night. Oh god, a terrible imagery popped into my head. I shook my head clear of the image before I skipped back into the kitchen. My mouth watered as I walked in; there were so many dishes on the table. I was starved.
He was already tucking into the food as I plopped down onto my seat before helping myself to the food. It tasted so good. I told him so and he just shook his head before looking down at the table, chewing his food. You could see a slight blush on his cheeks. Aww that's cute. You don't see that very often now do you?
Once we finished having breakfast, we cleared up the table and dumped the dishes into the dishwasher. I dashed up the stairs to get ready. Knowing Leah, she would be slightly early.
I ran round the bedroom dropping the robe in the process, looking through all my drawers and the wardrobes to find something nice to wear. I didn't know what to wear.
I grabbed a white short sleeved t-shirt and held it against my chest as I stopped and stood in front of the mirror. I was in a daze, I didn't even realise that Paul had entered the room until I felt his hot lips kiss my shoulder blade.
I looked up at his face in the mirror and he smiled warmly at me. I loved that smile. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my left shoulder.
"So what's the hurry? I was thinking maybe have a quiet day until the bonfire, just me and you" he mumbled softly.
"Oh sorry babe. Leah and I are going food shopping. You know what the pack's appetite is like. We need food to feed them, and to feed you too my sexy hungry wolf" I smiled.
"Your sexy hungry wolf huh" he winked before he started nibbling on my neck. I closed my eyes and moaned. Then I remembered that Leah was going to be here soon, so I wriggled out of his grasp. He groaned in disappointment.
"Yes my sexy hungry wolf. We won't be having any of this feely-up right now. I really need to get ready. Leah's going to be here soon. I don't want to piss her off if I'm not ready by the time she gets here" I said before kissing him gently on the lips.
I started searching for the right outfit again. I ended up settling for a white t-shirt that had the message 'be true to yourself' with some light holey jeans that hugged to my body.
The weather was nice and warm outside but I slipped on my black leather jacket on and started putting on my dark denim hi-tops on before I walked into the bathroom and started fixing my hair. I started styling it with gel, when the doorbell rang. Shit I muttered under my breath before I quickly washed my hands.
I grabbed my purse and keys before I dashed downstairs, pecking Paul on the cheek on the way down. It definitely was Leah; I could smell her scent from behind the door. I flung open the door and grabbed Leah by the hand dragging her towards my truck.
"So eager" Leah huffed. I could tell that she was rolling her eyes.
"Well yeah. The sooner we get the food shopping done, the sooner we can start making dessert. Then we can head to the bonfire and enjoy a relaxing night. We need to be ready for when she attacks, though we don't exactly know when that will be. We just have to be alert at all times" I shuddered at the thought of the pack getting hurt because of some psycho bitch vampire that doesn't like the fact that Jasper isn't her man anymore.
I sped off towards the supermarket. I parked into a space with the tyres screeching slightly. Oops. We both grabbed a trolley each; we both knew that one trolley wasn't going to be enough.
We made our way down each aisle and starting a light conversation while we grabbed items off the shelves and into the trollies. Leah wasn't one of those girls who wanted to hold a long conversation.
By the time we reached the desserts aisle, the trollies were pretty much full. We grabbed chocolate bars tossing them into the trollies. We grabbed tubs of ice cream. Chocolate flavour, vanilla flavour and strawberry flavour.
We had the ingredients for dessert too. As we made our way to the check-outs, we saw that certain alcohols were on offer. We looked at each other before we grabbed cases of beer and bottles of red wine.
We weren't really fond of white wine but we grabbed a bottle or two, just in case Emily and Kim fancied some white wine. We weren't even sure what they liked, but never mind. We got the counters and the person at the till looked at us funny.
"What" I snarled at her.
She yelped in surprise and looked petrified at us. Her eyes darted between me and Leah. She started scanning the items at record speed with her head down, scared to make eye contact with us. I turned to Leah and we grinned at each other in triumph. It wasn't really our fault that we had such big appetites, but then again the food wasn't only just for me and Leah.
We paid for the things and loaded them into the car. I'm surprised it all fit into the vehicle! Poor thing. We put on the radio and made our way back to my house. It seemed everyone likes hanging around my house.
We had the windows open and the wind weaving through our hair as we started to sing along to the radio.
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
I sighed thinking when Paul would finally ask me to be his, officially. We love each other so much; it's hard to put that feeling into words. I was in my own thoughts as Leah drove us home. I was knocked out of my daze when I heard Leah sigh deeply. I turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow at her.
She hmmed and looked at me before briefly shaking her head. What was wrong with her? She imprinted, on a vampire. So what? If they like each other so much, then they should give it a shot. Right?
"What's up Clearwater? It's not like you to be so… girly?" I struggled to find the right word to use.
"Oh it's nothing" she sighed again. I rolled my eyes. "Well it's just… I like Jasper, but he's a vampire. There's never been a wolf and vampire imprinted couple before. I can't mark him and he can't mark me, especially how his venom will kill me. I don't know how he can stand me and stuff. With my wolfy stench as the others would call it. I mean I do like him, don't get me wrong. But I feel like I won't get a chance to be with him. Especially with his psychotic creator on the loose, wanting him back. I just don't know what to do with all of this" she whispered as she gripped the steering wheel harder and you could hear the crack from the force.
"Seriously Clearwater, I thought you were better than this. You're letting a psychotic bitch get in the way of your relationship with Jasper? Really? Where's the all high and mighty Clearwater that fights for something or someone? You're a strong woman. Don't let this bitch cover your vision. See through the mist and do what you wanna do. Go and have fun. He won't leave you. Especially now with the imprint" I scoffed at her.
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
I watched as she took a deep breath, absorbing the meaning to the lyrics of the song. She was back to her normal self again. I rolled my eyes. I still wasn't used to seeing her being weak sometimes. She is always the strong one.
"You better stay this way Clearwater. You so don't suit the sulky, insecure character. But not to worry, nothing a drink or two won't fix" I said pumping my fist in the air. Well as high as it would go in the car.
It wasn't long before we started to pull up to the drive. It looked like the gang was all here already. Oh good they can help us with the groceries. I jumped out the car and whistled. Brian and Embry came out and helped us with the groceries. I pecked them both on the cheek before I headed inside and let them do the work.
I could hear shouting and giggling from the living room. I peeked my head in and saw that the guys were playing COD. One of the guys had obviously brought their PS3 over and a bunch of games. I ran up the stairs to get changed.
We were going to be inside for a while so I shredded my outfit and pulled on my pair of black Adidas tracksuit bottoms with the white stripes on the side. I decided to wear a black tight strap vest before bouncing down the stairs.
"Honey I'm home" I said in a sing song voice as I walked into the living room.
The group all yelled hello while Paul jumped up and wrapped me into a hug, nuzzling his face in my neck. I giggled and wrapped my arms around him.
"Damn, I've missed you" he muttered.
"I missed you too, but I'm back now. So what cha all doing?"
"Playing COD, but the girls are bored because they don't know how to play. Girls just are interested in the game at all"
"Pfft. Who says us girls can't like the game COD?" I said folding my arms.
"You're saying that you like to play COD? Really? Since when?" he looked at me puzzled.
"Ah, now I forgot that little detail didn't I" I winked at him. "Yo Jake, I'll give you a game"
"Yeah right. It'll be an easy game. You couldn't shoot once. I bet you twenty bucks that you lose" Jake turned round to grin at me.
"You're on. Y'all are witnesses here. He said twenty bucks that I don't win. We'll see about that" I smirked.
He sat close to the TV screen while I leaned against the sofa. We chose Nuketown and we were off. Oh this was going to be good.
I started walking slowly towards him and he started shooting already. One kill to Jacob already. The guys cheered. He just grinned and kept commenting that the game would be easy. Before long it was Jacob 10 kills and me with two kills.
I sighed. Jacob was boring. I clicked my fingers and got on with the game. It was 10 kills each and there was still a minute left. Who was going to get the last kill? It happened to be me in the end. He tried to stab me but failed and I got a headshot. Now I'm twenty bucks richer.
"Cough it up Black. I win" I grinned at him.
"You cheated" he sulked.
"Babe I'll give you a game" Paul grinned. Oh shit. I knew he was great at this game.
"No helicopters allowed Lahote. Or I'll have your ass!" I hissed. He just shrugged. Game on.
Turns out he wasn't great at the game; he was amazingly good at it. The game ended 15 kills to 10. I was screaming at the screen all the way through the game. I tried to knife him a few times but I wasn't quick enough. I sighed when it was game over.
"You alright sore loser?"
"Sure sure" I said rolling my eyes. It seemed all the guys wanted to take it in turn to play against me.
A few hours later, I had beaten Seth, Embry and Brian. Jared, Sam and Jasper had all beaten me. Pretty badly too. Ouch. Note to self, never play against Jared, Sam and Jasper again.
I got up and stretched out my muscles. My back cracked a few times before I headed into the kitchen. It was time to start making dinner. The ladies followed me while the guys continued battling it out at COD.
We were making lasagne, burgers, and hot dogs. As well as other kinds of food. We had dessert in the fridge and dessert cooking in the oven in no time. We were chilling with a drink each. I was glad we ended up buying the white wine, because Emily and Kim didn't like to drink anything else other than white wine. What a relief. More for us.
Sam and Jared were getting up the bonfire while the others were tidying up the living room. They sure we messy guys. The food was ready and took a few trips before the food was laid out for everyone to eat.
The imprints and the elders had their share first, especially since they have a smaller appetite compared to the wolves. Before we knew it the food was gone and we were sitting by the bonfire having a good time with drinks.
I had this weird feeling in my stomach though. Like something was going to happen. Maybe I'm just imagining things. I looked around and we were missing someone from the imprints, but I couldn't figure out who it was.
I was sipping my drink before I heard a scream from the woods, making me drop my drink on the ground. Glass smashing. Shit.
"SETH!" I heard the others yelling. I looked towards Seth and saw him running towards the woods. Shit. Layla.
We called his name but he still ran deep into the woods. What was going on? I heard a deep threatening growl. If I wasn't a wolf, that growl would have made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up.
Us wolves headed towards the woods. We didn't get very far towards the woods before we saw Seth walking backwards with his hands up in surrender. What the hell?
I squinted my eyes to see into the woods. Shit. Maria. She had Layla in her grasp and a hand around Layla's neck. Claws at the ready, but she wasn't gripping very hard. She was shoving Layla forward. It seemed she was frustrated with how slow Layla was walking. Well she is only human.
We crouched into a stance and growled at her. She just smirked evilly at us, continuing her stalk towards us.
I hadn't realised Jasper and the others had arrived, I was in my own thoughts when I had that weird feeling in my stomach. He was growling and looked ready to spring at her. To end her, once and for all.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" she spoke in that childish voice of hers. "Give me what I want and I'll give this little worthless human back to you. Sounds fair doesn't it?" she giggled insanely.
"I'm never going back with you Maria. I'm still right here, where I belong" Jasper snarled.
"Oh but Jasper, we had so much fun together. Don't you miss that?" she sulked.
"Not at all Maria. Let her go. Now" his eyes turning black.
"Is that so?"
A/N: well that's it for now! I'll review as soon as I can
