After a long, warm and relaxing shower, Angelique wore a white robe and wipes her face with a soft towel. She walks towards a chair and stare at herself in front of a mirror. She kept looking at herself for quite a long time but Paul suddenly popped up in her minds and makes her blush. She was confused. She wonder, what so special about her that makes a dreamy guy like Paul Lahote to work so hard just so a girl like her will accept him? If it was some other girls, they would definitely jump on his invitation but not Angelique because she knows about her obligation to Alec.
Hell would break loose if she were to abandon Volturi to be with a werewolf. Yet again, she was part of them too and that she can't deny but she can hid it well. No one here knows who she was and she was glad but Edward has his eyes on her and that doesn't make her feel at ease but safe enough to stay safe and peaceful here.
What would Paul think about her if he knows what her true blood is? Will he accept and love her or be disgusted with her like Caius? She shook her head and glanced at the clock above her. It was 8:15pm and she quickly went to her suitcase and scrambles all the clothes in her beg. For the first time in her life, she was so excited yet nervous for a date. Actually, she never went to a date! What should she wear? What should she do? What should she say?
It was horrifying and her fears start to add up as Alec pops up in her brains. If he knows about what's going on right now, there'll be hell on earth. However, Alec does have history of being with number of girls in a same time so why can't she do the same? It'll be like a small bachelorette dinner and it's definitely going to be rated PG. Definitely no kissing, no touching and no romantic speeches. That's done!
She put on a navy blue dress that falls softly above her knees and gave a generous amount of cleavage. The dress hugs her curves beautifully like a charm. She played with her hair for a while and realized that letting her curls falls freely on her back and her front was perfect. She wore a small heart diamond earring and stare at herself on the mirror.
She was anxious with how Paul would react to her looks but she knows that the dressing up or being early isn't for seduction or making anyone interested. She's doing it so that she feels beautiful and that is what matter most. She sat on her bed with a sigh. It was only 8.35 PM and she didn't know why she got all excited. She felt her throat was getting dry and when she looked around for her bottle, it was empty.
She took the empty bottle and decided to refill it with the huge machine near the motel counter. She was about to step outside when she turn to see Paul, standing in front of her with a rose in his hand. Angelique was blushing when she realized how ravishing Paul looked with a fitted grey plain t-shirt wearing a dog tag and a pair of slightly loose jeans that makes him look taller than he already was. How perfect can he be wearing a shirt or with no shirt at all?
"P...Paul! You're early." She gave a genuine smile and a small giggle. Paul also gave a nervous chuckled and hand her the rose. She took it and sniffs the sweet smell of the rose and smile back to him. "I got to admit that I got a little excited so I thought I just came early and wait for you until you're ready. It's not always a guy can bring a beautiful girl to dinner." He said and crossed his massive arms together.
Angelique blushed and there were a small firework going on in her heart. "T..thank you, Paul. You're so sweet." She stepped outside and Paul offered her his arms, "May I?" She giggled and put her arms around his. They walk out of the motel with smile plastered on their cheeks.
Paul brought her to an elegant restaurant with candles on every table that gives a romantic atmosphere. She was surprised because to her, Paul actually have a much more wild vibe going on and for him to bring her to a romantic dinner was absolutely sweet!
He made sure to pull a chair before she sat. When he was the one who sat down, he looked rather awkward and he keeps on drumming his finger on the table. Then, a waiter came by their table and pours two glasses of wine with a menu placed in front of them. Paul and Angelique nod his head to the waiter and both drank the wine slowly. Paul flip open the menu and he was having trouble pronouncing and understanding one of the appetizers. She smiled looking at his cute troubled face and said, "Zuppa di pesce labbro."
Paul looked at her. He was confused at first and this causes her to chuckled, "The first one. It' s fish lips soup." Paul eyes turn wide. "What? .Soup? That sounds kind a creepy, don't you think?" Angelique nods her shoulder. She tasted the soup so many times since Miss Abby knows it was one of her favorite human dish growing up. She felt bad that Paul was struggling to bring her a great night. He said to her, "I'm sorry that this dinner isn't going smooth as I hope. You must be bored."
Angelique said, "No. Not really. I had fun and honestly, I'm kind a hoping for erm… you know..some local dish. You know where I can get some of that here?" She raised her eyebrow. Paul broke into a mischievous smile. He stood up and hold her hand to his, "Matter of fact, I do. You're up for some delicious food, La Push style?" She chuckled and walks away with him.
Paul brought her to a local diner plus bar and the place was pretty loud. It is Friday after all so everyone was having fun. Paul who was use to all of it got worried because he can see that Angelique was a fine lady that usually dines in a quality restaurant. Hell, she spoke perfect Italian! But, one glimpse at her, Paul knows she was much happier here because no one in the bar had to pretend and they just let their self-loose.
Paul asked her, "Are you okay eating here? I know it's not romantic and all. You know what; let's just go to my house. I'll cook something nice for you. I'm so sorry I brought you to this kind of place. "He was about to stand when Angelique hold his hands. "No. I'm fine here. I've never been to this kind of place before." Paul sit calmly, listening to her continue, "I've been to erm.. Fork's Diner and it was really busy but their food was exquisite. It did not look like a fine restaurant but their food is definitely to its standard. We must certainly not judge a book by its cover right?"
Paul grinned. She was definitely one of a kind. "Yeah, right." A blonde waitress with a tight white tank top that practically squeezed her big breast out was very uncomfortable to Angelique. She was also wearing a jean short that hugs her hips tightly and it seems like she was grinning happily to Paul. A sudden anger stirs in Angelique's heart. Was she jealous? The blonde waitress spoke, "What can I get for you, Paul?" She was practically chewing the pencil butt off. A sudden urge to stab the pencil to her heart actually shocks Angelique.
Paul on the other hand was oblivious to the jealousy fit and flirting. He smiled back to the waitress and said, "I'll have the usual meal but make it double and extra delicious. I want to make a certain lady impressed with the delicacies." The waitress turn to Angelique with an annoyed look but Angelique kept her head held high. "Is this like, your sister or something?" Angelique was furious and it was clearly written on her face for Paul to read. Of course Paul was delighted. His mate was jealous. Fantastic!
"Sister? Hell no. This is Angelique. She's my fiance, so to speak." Angelique was surprised and so was the waitress and she doesn't look happy at all. Meanwhile, Angelique was filled with pride. She smiled and it took all of his power not to slam his lips to hers. The annoyed waitress walk away after taking their order. "Fiance? I thought we are just having a dinner as friends?" Paul smirked, "I don't recall that. You will always be my mate to be, aka my fiance and God knows, I'm still holding on the chances that we're going to be together."
Her expression suddenly changed. "Paul, we've talk about this. There can be nothing going on between us. It's just impossible and dangerous." She whispered slowly, "I don't want anything to happen to you." Paul sighs with a smile, "I appreciate that you actually cared about my well-being, Angelique. You must know that I never back down from a fight and I ain't scared of any shit thrown in my face. That includes your present and soon be ex fiance, Alec." Paul took her hand and covered it with his other hands. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you. As I said, I will proof to you that I'm a better mate and I will live my life to make every single day of your life a happy one."
His speech touched her hearts that tears start welling up in her eyes. She smiled. Paul released her hand and she wiped the tears in her eyes. She finally spoke, "You know what, we were supposed to have a fine dinner so why don't we put this whole thing aside. Is that alright with you?" Paul grinned, "Yeah, sure." The waitress brought two glasses of lemon ice tea to their table. When the waitress left, Angelique took a sip and hear him saying, "I know this might sounds personal but I was wondering, how can a mix blood like you live there? I mean, in Voltera? Do you mind sharing that with me?"
Angelique nods and put down her glass, "My mother was from Voltera but my real father where about or past was a mystery to me. All I know he was erm.. 'different'." Paul bent over a little and laid both of his arms on the table. "What do you mean?" Angelique was nervous but she tried to keep her emotion in place. Even so, Paul knows she was having a hard time trying to talk about that. He felt guilty, "Look, I'm sorry for asking. You don't have to say anything. It was just all out of curiosity. I just want to know more about you as you will get to know about me."
Angelique shook her head and spoke, "No, it's okay. It's the first time anyone wants to know about me because they wanted to get to know me. Some would ask for some 'other' reason but I appreciate that you ask because you want to get to know me. Well, as you know, my dad was a hu..human. He fell in love with my mother and they were supposed to be happy but it was not meant to be."
Paul asked with a serious tone, "What happen?" She spoke again, "My mother was a member of Volturi. One of the greatest guard and gifted vampire there. She chooses to be with my father and Aro wasn't thrill about that idea. He with the whole army of Volturi hunt down my parents and in the end, Aro killed them. He was about to kill me too but Marcus, my father now, save me and raised me as his own. I was grateful that I was still alive because of him so making him happy is not an option. No matter what I had to do, I will make sure it is done." Paul relaxed his chest, "That's why you're engaged to Alec."
Angelique nod and continued, "He wished for me to get married and at the same time Alec claimed that I was his mate. Father dream't of me having a family of my own and maybe a few grandchildren to keep him entertain. For the first time in my life, I have never heard him saying something like that and I understand. If I was happy then he will be. I love him so much, Paul."
There was a flicker of anger in his chest, "Are you happy? With Alec? " Paul said with a rough tone. Angelique bit her bottom lips and his eyes were looking directly at it. "P..Paul.." She whispered but Paul said, "I understand that you want your dad to be happy Angelique but I know you're not happy with Alec. I mean are you?" Angelique was speechless. "It's obvious that you're not, Angelique. By being with him only going to make you suffer and trust me, I don't think your father wants that. I may not know the guy very well but I've seen his master piece and it wasn't pretty." He gave small grin, "Besides, if your father were to have grandchildren, I'll be willing to give them to him. Little Angelique or little Paul. Whichever comes first."
Angelique was surprised by his words and she laughed. Finally, she said, "Alright, alright. Now I want to get to know you. Who are you really, Mr Paul Lahote?" Angelique said in a slightly mischievous tone. Paul answered, "First of all, people know me as Paul. I am the third in command of Uley's Pack. I am also a big bad werewolf that will do bad things to bad people who tried to hurt my family or soon to be family." He blinked at her. Angelique smiled. "Before I started to shift, I had a really bad temper. I get angry easily and when I found out I was a werewolf, things started to get really bad."
Angelique became curious, "How bad?" Paul sips his tea and said, "I tried to hurt people around me when they tend to piss me off. I remember that I almost shredded Bella to pieces. In my defence, she slapped me but Jacob was able to help me. He guide me, help me to control my temper and you can say I finally kept my emotion stable when I met Rachel." Something in Angelique burn hearing that name but she kept calm, "Who is Rachel?"
He continued, "She is Jacob's sister. When I first shift, I was having a hard time finding out myself. Rachel was the one I could talk to or be with. She was close to me out of any woman that I ever been with. After seeing Sam imprint on Emily, I thought that maybe it was the same as for me and Rachel. I ask Jacob for more help and finally I was strong enough to hold my anger at all time. Then, I realised that she wasn't who I thought she was. I never imprinted on her and she was never mine to have."
Angelique stares at his pleading eyes. "I always dream of having a family of my own too, Angel. It might sound cheesy but sometimes I always imagine myself in a white picket fence, a dog with boys and little girls of my own that I can spoil and love as well as a mate that I will cherish. When I think about it, it sounds so perfect that I could not ask for more. "That was it. Angelique tears roll down her cheeks and she said, "That was beautiful, Paul." Paul smiled and wiped off the tears wetting her cheeks.
"I just hope that you will be a part of that dreams, Angel. Ever since the first minute I hold you in my arms" He whispered. When the waitress finally brought their meal on the table, the dig in and continued to talk about their life and what is to come in their life. It was such a beautiful dinner
"So..." Paul said standing in front of the motel with Angelique. They just finished their dinner,took a relaxing walk around La Push. When they arrived at the motel, Paul wanted to accompany her inside but Angelique strictly said that it was fine so he decided to listen to her even though it actually annoys him. She said, "Thank you for that dinner. I really appreciate it. No one ever wanted to do something as special as you have done for me."
Paul steps closer and she could feel his warm breath on her skin, "That was just the start, Angel. I can't wait to give you much more." Before she could say anything, Paul lips were fastened on hers. His warm lips were so rough yet feel right touching hers. At first, she was caught off guard and wanted to push him away but his hands was wrapped around her waist oh so, tightly. He sucked her bottom lips and licked it slowly, indulging the softness in which he been dying to taste all night. His strong grip around her waist causes her chest to rub his and she can't help but moan, letting his tongue to slowly enter her warm silk cavern. It felt like ambrosia and Paul just wanted more and more of her sweet taste.
His tongue was twirling roughly with hers and Angelique who was drunk of the passionate kiss wrapped her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer and making the kiss more intense. His tongue tasted her mouth thoroughly and not a spot left untouched. When they broke the kiss, Paul could see that her lips were swollen and beautiful from his touch. Her leg felt like jelly and her eyes was hazy.
She moaned, "P..Paul.." Paul hold her chin gently, "Don't tell me you don't feel it, babe cuz' it definitely feels so good. You want it as much as I want you." Angelique was sober and quickly pushed him away. She put her hands on her lips and said, "T..thank you for t..the beautiful n..night. I hope I mean w…will s..see you again." And she ran into the motel, leaving Paul standing with a satisfying grin.
Volterra
"I hope to see you again, Alec. You were so great." The beautiful brunette purred at him. She was practically naked while wrapped in thin sheets and laying comfortably in the bed. While he was buttoning up his sleeves, the brunette wrapped her hand around her neck and kisses his neck softly, whispering to him, "I can't wait to have you again, and again and again. You certainly know how to make a woman feel good. If that bitch of a beast knows what we've been doing, I bet she would kill herself already, don't you think?" She giggled.
Alec smirked and grips her hands roughly making her winced. She writhes in pain and Alec squeezes her hand so hard that there was a cracked starting to form around her wrist. Alec stared at her and said, "No one must know about this little fuck fest or I will cut your head and you will wish that you have never been born." He said calmly yet his tone was so eerie. The woman nod her head vigorously with fear crept up her skin.
"And one more thing, never again will I hear you said those awful things about my Angelique or so help me God, I will burn you alive, got that?" He released her hand and the woman was quick to run out the door.
When Alec was on his way to the door, he heard a chuckled and saw his sister clapping her hands and walking towards him, "Oh, brother. I can't believe you're still up to your old games. The woman was right. How will Angelique react to this? Better yet, if Marcus knows about your affair, I don't think there will be a wedding. You don't really love her right? You just wanted to use her."
Alec looked calm and he said, "Maybe but sister, dear. Angelique is mine, heart, body and soul. She belongs to me no matter what happens." He walked up to her, "And I will destroy anyone who is in my way including you. Do understand that." He grinned and walked out the room, leaving Jane with a deadly stare and all hell breaks loose in the room.
