Adore you. ~Paul Lahote ~

Chapter 19

Kim and I are going cake tasting and dress shopping with Alice Cullen today. I put on a black tulle skirt and a cute black long sleeved blouse. I smile at the huge diamond on my finger before meeting Kim in the living room.

Alice picks us up outside the house after waiting for thirty minutes. After getting Paul's approval of my outfit, I give him a kiss before jogging outside. Kim sits in the back while I sit in the front seat. Paul and I decided not to have a honeymoon, just to move into our new house after the wedding.

I choose the chocolate crunch cake; now we are on our way to the wedding dress shoppe. The beautician smiles at us as asks who the bride is.

"I'm the bride to be, next month." I reply.

"You're small; follow me, sweetheart." She smiles.

I follow behind her to a beautiful selection of wedding gowns. I pick skim through them and I find he perfect dress. It is poofy, like a princess. Paul will be marrying a princess in a month's time. 

"This one is perfect." I whisper.

Alice pays for the dress and she is holding it at her house until the set date. She drops Kim and I off before she drives me wedding gown to Forks. I walk inside with Kim and see Rachel trying to flirt with Paul, he seems tense.

"Hey, fiancée." I smirk as I wrap myself in his arms.

"Hey, sweetness." He smirks at Rachel.

Embry sighs at Rachel's attempt to flirt and her glaring at me.

"Baby girl, look." I show her the engagement ring Paul bought me.

She gasps. "I thought you were gonna marry me?!" She screeches.

"No, Layla is my imprint, not you Black." Paul smiles and holds me tighter. "You're invited to the wedding."

"The entire Black family is; so, it is only fair you are too." I shrug.

Billy rolls in and he smiles at me. "Give me a hug, little girl."

I giggle and I hug my uncle. "Oh, and Rachel, I forgot to mention. We are cousins. Billy here is t mom's brother."

She stares at me then at her dad. I sit on Billy's paralyzed legs and he smirks up at his younger daughter, Rachel.

"Uncle Billy, is Rebecca coming to the wedding?" I ask.

He nods. "Yeah, her flight lands tonight; she is staying until after the wedding."

"That's an entire month." Rachel complains.

"Yay, I have missed Rebecca." I smile. "I still regret missing her wedding."

Billy leaves with Rachel and Jacob to wait for Rebecca to come home for a month. I go to my room with Paul and we change into some more comfy clothes. He kisses me passionately before walking out. He is sleeping on the couch tonight. Fine by me. I lock my door and I climb into my bed.

I close my eyes and I let sleep consume me.
