Adore you. ~Paul Lahote ~

Chapter 04

Paul's face when he sees my outfit of the day is priceless, made my day. He walks me out to his truck and helps me get in. He holds y hand as he drives us to Sam's house.

Kim compliments my halter top right away. Embry spits his sofa all over Paul when he sees me. Paul, being the hot head he is, seethes and begins to shake horribly.

"Paul, easy." I yell as i slap his shoulder.

He calms instantly and apologizes to Embry. I shake my head at him and I sit in front of Sam. He smiles at me while waiting for the two to fight it out, Paul didn't mean his apology. They phased and they are fighting it out.

"I'm gonna have Jared show you the area while those two fight." Sam says.

Jared and I walk out and into the woods. I strip and phase. I run right behind him so I know the area. He shows me where we will be patrolling then we start our patrol.

I sit at the water when I smell human in a vampire smell. I open my eyes and a red haired and red eyed vampire is standing right in front of me. Jared growls and he corners her. I crouch down on protection of my older cousin like he is doing for me.

When as runs, Jared howls before we chase after the leech. The pack is soon with us while we are chasing behind the red haired woman. She is on the Cullen side, being chased down by them. Emmett Cullen jumps over following her and Paul almost chews his head off.

I glare at Paul before I trot off towards my patrol route. I jog around and I stop as Sam joins me. I slurp some water before finding my clothes with Jared. We phase and we get dressed.

"That was fun, until Pauls ass wanted to show off." Jared mutters.

We joke around about it until Paul storms in.

"Cousin, can you drive me home?" I ask Jared. I'm to frightened of Paul to right with him.

"Yup, come on lil cuz." Jared pats my head.

We get into his small truck before he drives away. He comes inside with me and dad seems happy to see him.

"Jared Cameron, how are you son?" Dad asks as he hugs him.

Jared chuckles nervously. "I've been doing good ."

Dad invite Jared to stay for supper and he happily accepts. He calls Kim and his parents to tell them. Dad smiles at me before he goes to make my garlic chicken.

"Hey lil cuz, I invited Paul." Jared tells me. "Your dad wanted me to."

I sigh. "It's okay, Paul is my imprint."

Jarred smiles and he kisses the top of my head. He goes to the kitchen to help my dad when there is a knock on the door. I sigh and I walk over to it. Paul is behind the door when I open it up. I let him in. When I try to walk away, he grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug, sniffing my hair.

"I'm so sorry, Layla." He whispers. "Stop being mad, I can't take it."

I sigh and I hug him back, after twenty minutes. "I forgive you."

He kisses my forehead before we go into the kitchen. Dad seems happy I forgave my imprint. I was going to anyways; I couldn't stand being mad at home any longer. I love Paul too much.

Dad hands me my garlic chicken and makes regular fried chicken for him and the boys. I eat once piece at a time while I watch the boys eat. Dad is watching me watch them. He seems glad I imprinted and found someone to live for out here. His imprint died.

Dad has been depressed a lot lately. He keeps talking about wanting to die to be with mom. I have no idea what he means, but it's something.

Paul and Jared leave after supper. I go o my room and I change into some comfy pajamas. I climb into my bed and I close my eyes. I fall asleep almost instantly.
