Paul POV:
Bella came back the next day refreshed and smiling. She told me all about how Alice, Rose, Kim and Emily decided to torture her with make over's and Barbie Bella dress up. I laughed when she told me about the part when Alice got bored and made her look like a clown.
In turn I told Bella about how me and the guys hung out doing nothing really just trying to restore life to her truck while listening to music. I made her laugh so hard she fell off my lap telling her about how the song 'Who Let The Dogs Out?' by Baja Men came onto the radio Jacob and Embry went nuts barking and dancing like idiots.
Soon though the weekend passed and Christmas arrived and here I was completely confused on how to wrap the damn bracelet I got her. "Emily!" I called out trying to fold the paper but ripped it instead.
"Yes Paul?" She said coming into my room. They decided to come over until we had to leave for Charlie's. He had decided to have a huge Christmas party well I think Bella decided ad told him last minute but you never know these days.
"Can you help me please? I have no idea what I'm doing." I stated glaring at the wrapping paper.
Emily giggled and nodded her head pushing my hands out of the way. She was shaking her head and muttering 'men!' under her breathe. "Question: can you cook?" She asked abruptly.
"Um yeah I can but nothing too extravagant, why?" I asked raising my eyebrows and handing her the ribbon.
"Well you can't buy things for Bella without help and you can't wrap her presents, I figured you had to do something." She giggled again as I glared at her.
"Hey I can do a lot more than just cook, I can clean too." I laughed.
"Oh that's good to hear. Are you planning on becoming a maid because I could use someone that can cook and clean?" She laughed at my glare.
"You know your mean." I stated laughing at her. She stuck her tongue out at me and I stuck mine out at her.
"That's enough children do you want me to give you both a five minute time out?" We looked to the door and saw Kim laughing at us.
Both Emily and I looked down and mumbled 'sorry'. "Oh and I can fix cars."
Kim and Emily shared a look. "How come Bella gets the guy that can fix things, clean and cook?" Kim asked pointing her finger at me.
"Beats me but I like Sam he's does what he supposed to and doesn't question things." Emily shrugged like it was no big deal but her eyes were filled with love and adoration.
"Yeah well Jarrod couldn't cook for his or my life. He messed up making Mac and Cheese." Kim laughed but again her eyes were filled with love and adoration.
"Okay now that you guys have finished dishing your boyfriends or fiancé's problems out on me let's get a move on, shall we?" I started pushing both of them out the door before they could answer.
"Hey quit man handling me!" Kim yelled after I shoved both of them out the front door. Sam and Jarrod were standing by their cars already waiting for us. I waved goodbye to Sam and Emily as they pulled out of my drive way.
"C'mon moron we're gonna be late!" Jarrod yelled at me while I rolled my eyes in response.
"Yeah yeah, I'll be right there I just forgot something is all." I waved for them to leave soon after they pulled out following Sam and Emily. I walked back into my house and went to the mantle above the fire place. I looked at the picture of my sweet innocent little sister; Khoen. She was only six months old and-
I stopped that train of thought before it could get out of control. I grabbed my keys and ran back out of the house locking the door behind me. I got in to my beloved truck and drove at speeds Bella would yell at me for. I drove along the roads barely noticing the trees pass by me in a mass blur of green. I pulled into the Swan driveway to see the green and red lights shining brightly. I smiled and walked up to the front door knocking three times before standing back and waiting patiently.
After about a minute Charlie opened the door glaring at me briefly before forcing a smile on his face. I smiled back easily. "Hello Charlie and Merry Christmas." I handed him the fishing rod I had gotten earlier in the week for him.
He smiled and tried to hide his pleasure at seeing a new fishing rod. "Thank you Paul and Merry Christmas to you to. Please come in." He opened the door further and stepped aside letting me in.
"Thanks, getting colder huh?" I asked but before he could answer I heard a squeal and was knocked to the ground a very excited Bella.
She looked at me smiling brightly and kissed me on the lips gently. "Hi Paul!" She cheered.
"Hi Bella, excited much?" I laughed standing us both up.
"Of course it's Christmas isn't it?" She giggled and hugged me again when we were both in upright positions.
Charlie grumbled something before glaring slightly at me and Bella. "I know you two are all kissy, lovey dovey but I don't want it shoved in my face," He huffed.
"Sorry, sir." I laughed and smiled down at Bella.
After about a minute of staring t each other Charlie rolled his eyes and left. "So are you excited to get your present?" Bella asked smiling slyly.
"Hmm so you did buy me something huh?" I laughed and kissed her forehead. "Well I can't wait if it's from you, Jarrod or Embry or Jake for that matter I can wait for."
She giggled before dragging me into the living room. I saw all the Cullen's apart from Edward sitting on the couches talking to their significant others and Charlie glaring at them every so often well everyone apart from Rose, Alice and Esme who he smiled at politely. "So are you excited about my present for you?" I asked waving to Jake and Embry.
"Hmm presents? Not the biggest fan of presents but I think I can make an exception just this once." She smiled before going off to help Kim and Emily in the kitchen.
For the next three hours we talked and ate the snacks laid out for us. Jake, Embry, Emmett and Jasper had started playing video games, while Sam, Carlisle and Charlie talked about going on a massive fishing trip. Esme, Kim, Bella, Rose, Alice and Emily were talking about girly things such as make up and wardrobes or lack thereof in Bella's case. I stood off to the side just watching everybody get along and smiled. We had already eaten dinner, well more like a late lunch and I couldn't believe that Emmett tried eating some of the turkey. He immediately coughed and choked on it but didn't say anything bad about it. Jasper just rolled his eyes like he expected something like that to happen.
All of a sudden Charlie pulled away from Sam and Carlisle tapping his glass slightly. We all looked at him. "Okay so you all know I'm bad with all these emotions but I would like to say I'm glad to have the Cullen's-well most of them," I heard him mutter the last part before taking a breath and continuing. "Back and can't wait to spend some more time with you guys. Now I have present for Bella and normally I would wait until morning to give it to her but well I doubt it will do any good if I leave it where it is at the moment." He walked out of the room and Bella walked over to with a confused look. I shrugged and she wrapped her around my waist.
A few minutes later Charlie walked back into the room with a large green box, he was carrying it carefully and watching his every step. The box had a few holes in it and a red ribbon was wrapped loosely around the package. "Now Bella you can't shake this box to see what it is you just have to open it." Everyone laughed.
Bella started biting her bottom lip and started opening the present slowly starting with the ribbon. "Oh c'mon Bella just rip the sucker open!" Jake shouted pouting; Emmett nodded vigorously agreeing with Jake.
I rolled my eyes and slipped my arms around Bella's waist as she opened the present I rested my head on her shoulder. "Open when you're ready." I whispered in her ear. She shivered and I smiled knowing it was me that was causing her to shiver.
