Fighter

Chapter 12

Bella woke up wrapped in Paul's arms, warmth encasing her body. She rolled over slowly running her hands over Paul's chest and arms, smiling as Paul moaned her name. She placed soft kisses all over his face giggling as he pulled her tighter. "It's too early babe" Paul muttered sleepily. Bella chuckled and kissed his lips softly "wake up baby it's the start of moving day.." Bella whispered. Paul shot up out of bed, tripping over his clothes as he ran around the room scooping up Bella's clothes. Bella laughed as he tripped over his shoes. "I've never seen a wolf trip over before". Paul rolled his eyes as he threw Bella's clothes onto the bed. "Get dressed woman no time to waste".

They got dressed and made their way to Paul's kitchen, Bella grabbed 2 bowls and cereal while Paul called Quil and Embry giving them a heads up about moving Bella through the week. They quickly ate there breakfast laughing and talking as they went. After breakfast, they made there way out to Bella's truck and started heading to Charlie's. Bella snuggled up to Paul as he drove them to Forks.

"I'm so excited Paul, I know I'm moving in at the end of the week, but I'm just so happy to know that I'm coming home to you every day, no matter how good or bad a day I have" Bella whispered kissing his cheek softly. Paul smiled down at her and kissed her head softly "Me too babe just think we can have sex on every surface of the house" Paul wiggled his eyebrows sexily making Bella laugh.

Pulling up to Charlie's Paul patted Bella's leg before jumping out of the car and running around to open Bella's door "Oh why thank you, Mr. Jackson". Paul smiled and bowed as he took Bella's hand pulling her up the stairs to the front door. Bella pulled Paul inside "Dad I'm home" Bella yelled as they made their way through the house out to the kitchen.

Charlie made his way into the kitchen smiling as he laid eyes on Paul and Bella cuddling and laughing at the dining table. "Not that I'm not happy to see you both, but you know there are 3 other chairs right" Charlie shook Paul's hand as Bella laughed and slid into the chair next to Paul.

"So kids whats new?".

"Dad there's something we wanted to talk to you about". Charlie looked between Paul and Bella and nodded slowly.

"Dad you know me and Paul have been dating and before you say anything I know it hasn't been very long...". Bella looked at Charlie who nodded slowly waiting for her to continue. "Well Dad the thing is I love Paul, We know it's fast and probably hard to believe but I really do and he really loves me...It's hard to be away from each other and not cause were some overly loved-up couple, the truth is, he helps me a lot. Lately, there has been a lot of crap going on at school with a couple girls and its started to escalate now, but I didn't want to tell you cause I thought I could handle it, well I don't want to lie to you anymore...They've started slut-shaming me and it's kind of making it's way all through school now..." Bella muttered out the last few words, looking anywhere but at Charlie, Paul squeezed her hand tight.

"Look Chief I want Bella to move in with me, we make each other happy, she's 18 and she only has a few weeks left of school, then she can be as far away from those bitches at that school" Paul growled. By the time Bella looked at Charlie his face was bright red "Bella why in god's name wouldn't you tell me what's been going on, you're going to school day to day and that shit's been happening!" Charlie shouted as he stood up from the table and hugged Bella tightly "Bell's you are everything to me, to know that there are horrible rumors being spread around about you, it just makes me sick" Charlie said sadly. Bella cried softly as she hugged Charlie tight "I can deal with it cause I know it's not true, Paul helped me see that, he makes me feel I'm the only one in the world" Bella whispered softly. Charlie gave Paul a nod and a soft smile. "Alright, I'll agree with you moving in with Paul, I know your 18 but honey I want you to follow 2 rules please it's all I ask?". Bella smiled and sat down listening to her father. "You finish school, you push through these next couple weeks, pass by flying colors and show them bitches who's boss and secondly you two promise to come have dinner with your old man once a week" Charlie stated.

Bella jumped up and hugged her father tight "Of course Dad, and I will see you when you come out to go fishing with Billy and when you visit Sue and I will cook you the best dinner once a week". Charlie laughed as Paul got up and hugged him "Thank you, Charlie, for trusting me with Bella" Charlie nodded and patted his back "Paul don't forget I know where you live, hurt my baby and I will hurt you". Paul smiled and nodded at Charlie. "We're going to move some bits and pieces but I'll officially be out Friday so we still have some time together dad".

Paul called the boys and told them to bring Embry's truck to help move some of Bella's cupboards and her desk. They guys mucked around while they moved furniture, with Quil stating he always knew he would make it into Bella Swan's bedroom, causing Bella and Charlie to blush, Embry to laugh and Paul hitting him up the side of the head angrily. By the time the boys and Paul headed home Bella's bedroom consisted of her Bed and her bedside table. She smiled as she surveyed the room, already counting down the days until it was just Paul and her.
