The Life Of Nova Swan

Chapter 5

A couple weeks flew by, me and Paul had gone on two more dates and he asked me to be his girlfriend, to which I said yes, and the VMAs were right around the corner, as well as my birthday. 

Today I would be going to meet Paul group of friends or their ‘pack’ as he liked to call it. I wasn’t sure why they liked to be named after a pack of wolves, but I didn’t really care. 

I put on low rise bell bottom jeans and a slightly cropped t shirt that had a je stone star on the chest. I had my hair down in its natural curls, and no makeup on. 

I looked at myself in the mirror and nodded  while spraying light perfume on me. Soon enough Paul came to my door and knocked on it. 

I rushed downstairs while putting my shoes on and opened the door.

“Hi Nova.” He said while smiling from ear to ear.

“Hey Paul.” I replied while letting some of my country accent through. He leaned down and kissed me, while wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I smiled in the kiss and pulled away.

“Let’s go.” I said while patting his chest. He followed me and got in the driver side of his truck while I got in the passenger.

“What if your friends don’t like me?” I questioned after a long silence.

“They will. I talk about you to them a lot, they basically have already met you.” He turned to me with a comforting look. 

“I guess.” I said while looking down at my lap. He looked over to me with a meaningful look on his face.

“Listen,” he started with a sigh, “these people are my family, they’re my brothers. They know how much I love you and I know that they will too. There is no reason to worry, I promise.” He told me sincerely. I smiled slightly, he talked about them with so much love and compassion that I knew it would okay.

We pulled into the long dirt driveway of Sam Uley’s house. It stretched for a couple minutes before being brought to a small, cozy house. I would’ve said that it had one maybe two bedrooms. Perfect for a couple.

Paul led the way by climbing out of the drivers side and walking up the path. I followed in suit, but hesitated when he opened their door and walked right inside. I guess it was no big deal?

I stepped through the threshold and slipped off my shoes where there was a large pile forming. 

I followed Paul through an archway and into the living room. As we walked in, I looked around at the slightly large group of people. There were about nine people in the room, they were all having their own conversations.

“Guys,” Paul started off loudly, getting everyone’s attention, “this is Nova.” They all turned their heads to me and collectively said their hellos. Some waved some said hi. Then a big guy who seemed to be the oldest out of everyone and sort of the leader came over and shook my hand with a smile on his face.

“I’m Sam, that is Jared, his girlfriend Kim, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Seth, Leah, and my fiancé Emily.” He introduced everyone to me.

“It’s really nice to meet you all.” I said aloud with a smile on my face.

“Same here, I’m Emily.” A beautiful woman with three large scars on her face came over to me and pull me into a hug, to which I hugged her back.

With that, we all sat back down in the living room and conversed for a few hours. They asked me about myself and they told me stories about some of their times. We all really hit it off. 

Once it started getting really dark out, me and Paul said our goodbyes and left. We got in his truck and pulled out of the driveway, on the way to drop me off at my house.

“So what do you think?” He asked me eagerly.

“They were really great, I really like them.” I told him with a small smile.

“Good. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you guys didn’t hit it off.” He said with a bit of a sigh of relief.

“Well, we did hit it off so there’s no need to worry.” I told him while putting a hand on his arm, he moved it so that he could hold my hand.

We finally pulled into my driveway and stopped. I looked over at him, wondering how this all happened. I somehow ended up with the perfect guy. 

He looked over to me and looked right into my eyes, my blue ones clashed with his deep brown ones. Slowly he leaned in and pulled me into a kiss. It was slow and full of love.

With that, I got out of the car and went inside. I passed my dad, soundly asleep on the couch while a football game played. I walked past him and upstairs, stopping at Bella’s room. I greeted her and Edward, who I knew was in her room. I walked away and into mine, getting changed into another of Paul’s shirts and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

I did that and walked back to my room, closed the door and had a huge jump scare when I noticed someone out my window. Realizing it was Paul, I rushed over and opened my window, him climbing in.

“Hi.” I said sweetly while wrapping my arms around his neck.

“Hi.” He replied while putting his arms around my waist. 

“So you really couldn’t wait till tomorrow to see me, huh?” I asked with a coy smile on my face. He smirked at me.

“Well, I figured why not end a perfect day perfectly.” He whispered to me.

With that, we climbed into my double bed. I was facing him and he had his arm around me. I buried myself into his chest and we both fell asleep. His body heat kept me toasty warm and very content.
