Hey, Party People! Welcome back—or welcome if you're new! Thank you for dropping by!

This is Unsteady Heat, a Paul x Bella Human AU fanfiction and the second part of my series (or at least, it's growing into one). The first part is Collision Course, so feel free to check it out on my profile. Either way, thanks for coming back or stumbling across this, and I hope you have fun!

A Little Recap of Collision Course

Bella had planned for a fun night out at the movies, but when Jake tried to kiss her and she had to shove him off, things took a... weird turn. Paul Lahote started looking at her differently, and suddenly, she found herself spending almost her entire spring break in La Push—without visiting her best friend even once.

Something was happening between her and Paul, though she couldn't quite put a name to it. What she did know was this: Edward had tried to mold her into the perfect girl that only existed in his dreams. Jake wanted to save her. And Paul? Paul was just there. He didn't push expectations on her or ask her to be someone she wasn't. He just looked at her with those beautiful dark eyes and flashed that cocky grin.

The kiss they had shared on the cliffs that one afternoon had been filled with questions—questions she didn't yet have answers to. All she knew was that she wanted to know more about Paul Lahote.
