PLEASE REVIEW, I'M LOVING THE FEEDBACKS.
CHAPTER 25: This Doesn't Change Anything And Plans For Victoria.
My mind was racing with irrational thoughts and my heart was racing from excitement from the kiss I'd shared with Paul. My only experiences of being close to a boy could be summed up three ways. Number one was of course my kisses with cullenstein, hardly kisses at all, more like rocks from a demented chicken with an icy beak looking for food, Number two being Jake which was like kissing a family member which was just weird and Number Three was Jared, forced and meaning nothing except to get a rise out of Jake. Then along comes Paul Lahote, the man, the myth, the legend. Yeah he had turned my whole world as well as my insides upside down. He was officially the master of kissing. His lips had totally owned mine, as soon as his touched mine, he'd ignited flames of passion I hadn't known existed in me. Creating an inferno of emotions that both excited and scared the living shit out of me. He'd smirked at seeing my reaction to our kiss, smug bastard. He knew damn well what he was doing and me being me fell hook line and fucking sinker for it. I was not amused at all, I was pissed off with him for stirring up these feelings as well as being annoyed with myself for being what I can only describe as weak.
There was now few people at the bonfire now, only the important ones like Billy, Old Quill, Sam and the pack. Walking back and integrating myself within the company of Jake and Jared was easy enough, as long I steered clear of Paul, I'd be fine and could control my train of thought. Whenever Paul was close to me, my mind went to mush. Idiot. Anyways, I could see that Sam was back to his serious mode. He was all about business about how to deal with Victoria. I'd fried him earlier for trying to bark orders at me so he'd have better come up with another plan because the one he'd had about me changing school, just sucked. Emily was attached at his side like a killer, stupid bitch. Thoughts of Leah came back to me. Poor girl had lost the love of her life because of Emily and Sam imprinting on her, stupid imprinting shit was more trouble than it was worth. Shit, she's coming this way.
"Hi Bella, how are you doing? Are you ok?" Said Emily, coming to stand next to me.
The girl hadn't done anything to me per say, but she annoyed the fuck out of me, everything that came out of her mouth just pissed me off, and that fucking stupid happy smile she had plastered to her face made me want to hold her down and wipe it off. I just looked at her, what do you say to someone that just pissed you off so much. Well the truth I suppose is a good place to start.
"Despite being imprinted on, having a psycho leech bitch after me, I'm doing just great Emily!" I said with a fake smile.
"You know, if you ever need to talk about anything, imprinting or just life, then I'm here" she said in that sickeningly sweet voice of hers.
I couldn't stop the words that came out of my mouth next.
"If I need to talk to anybody, you'd be the last person I'd come to, you know nothing, you think that just because Paul imprinted on me that you and I are going to best buddies, it's never going to happen girl!" I said smirking, just like Paul.
"Bella, I'm only trying to be your friend!" Said Emily tearfully.
"I've got friends, I don't need anymore, especially someone like you!" I said gratingly.
Off she went like a shot. Running to Sam, again. He turned to her, seeing she was crying and checking her over, as if little old me had took a chunk out of her. Bitch. Sure enough, Sam came thundering over, I just stood back against the table laden with food trying to look innocent.
"What did you say to upset Emily!" He snarled at me.
"Nothing but the truth Sam, they say the truth hurts doesn't it, not my problem she can't handle rejection very well!" I said.
"She's only trying to help you Bella just like the rest of us!" Growled Sam.
Jake, Jared and Paul came to stand beside me as they had witnessed Sam barreling towards me in a temper.
"What's going on?" Asked Jake calmly.
"Nothing, just Sam trying to find out why I reduced his stupid imprint to tears!" I smirked again.
Sam at this moment chose to come at me, with both Jake and Paul standing in the way, blocking his attack on me.
Billy and Old Quill had also been watching the interactions from afar.
"Bella, what's gotten into young lady?" Asked Billy angrily.
"Nothing, why?" I asked smiling cheekily.
"Your not acting like the Bella we know and love!" Said Billy.
"You mean the Bella that would just stand by and keep quiet and play nice to Emily because we are both part of the imprint group, Billy get a fucking grip!" I said roughly to him.
"Billy, she's right!" Spoke Old Quill smiling at me.
"Right about what exactly?" Asked Billy.
"We cannot suddenly expect her to conform to our ways of life like Emily has, Bella has got alot to deal with, she's been used and abused by the leeches, then Paul imprinted on her, I think she's doing a rather splendid job of dealing with all of this so far!" Said Old Quill winking at me.
Have I mentioned I love this old guy.
"Thanks for the back-up old Quil" I smiled at him.
"Lets get on with business now, everyone listen up!" Said Old Quill smiling back at me.
Sam recovered himself quickly after apologizing to me.
"Now, here's what I've come up with, you lot have been fannying about like a set of farts in a trance instead of coming up with a way to deal with this leech that's after Bella, so I've come up with an idea, all of you will run extra patrols, especially at night around Bella`s house, her father will be back on Monday so we need to get this plan put into order, Bella will not be changing school's at all, Sam that was a dumbass idea if ever I heard it, instead Jared, you will be changing to Bella`s school to make sure she is protected at all times till you take out this leech!" Said Old Quill smiling.
The whole pack looked at him in wonder, nobody would stand against him because he was an elder and he was very wise. I walked over to him and hugged him tight.
"Thank you, I wish you'd been the one to explain all this shit to me, it would have made it alot easier!" I said kissing his cheek. His face went slightly red.
"Its nothing Miss Swan, my grandson Quil speaks very highly of you, he's loved up with you, just wait until he phases and finds out young Paul has imprinted on you! He'll be heartbroken!" Chuckled Old Quill.
I just smiled. So much for Sam being the fucking alpha, he'd done a piss poor job tonight. Whereas old Quil just rocked it. Dude might be old, but he was one hell of a good leader. I had total respect for the guy.
Sam and Emily disappeared moment's later, Jake decided it was time to get Billy back home, I said I would be at his house in a while to which he just nodded.
Jared came over to me and hugged me tightly.
"I'll see you tomorrow ok, you did good tonight, and for your information, I'M not keen on her either, her muffins are shit!" He whispered in my ear.
I just giggled saying "Your secret is safe with me!"
Then it was just Paul and myself, alone again.
"You certainly pissed off Sam tonight little phoenix, you have a huge set of balls on you!" He said smirking, coming to stand in front of me.
"Paul, about earlier" I murmured softly.
"Bella, I know it was too soon, but as I said earlier, please don't class what happened between us as a fuck up!" He said looking down at me, his eyes full of questions.
"I don't, but your right it was too soon, I was caught up in the moment Paul!" I said as gently as I could.
"But you enjoyed it!" Asked Paul questioningly.
"Yeah, it was amazing, but it doesn't change anything between us Paul, we have a very very long way to go before I can let you be like that with me!" I said.
I walked away from him, slowly.
Turning to him, looking at him, he looked dejected.
"I don't trust you Paul, it's up to you to change my mind about that!" I said go him.
I then disappeared into the darkness, heading to Billy`s house and long awaited sleep.
