Eclipse: Nothing I Won't Give

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Sliding Down Wolves

After an awkward good bye to Jake, Filene of course jumped onto her father in greeting before heading for the kitchen to make them dinner. She just couldn't get over what happened.

Does he really like me or was it something else? GAH! Why are men so freakin difficult? I mean come on it should be us women to be confusing not men!

"Filene." her father spoke up.

She looked over to him, tilting her head. "Hm?"

"You would.. I mean you would tell me if you were going out with someone right?" he hesitated to ask.

Filene blinked at him. "Uh yeah dad, what brought this on?"

"Well, Bella was asking questions about love and marriage…. I almost gave your sister the talk until she told me Rene had already covered up the bases." he explained. "Did she explained it to you to?"

Filene nodded. "When I was ten, it was after I caught a friend of mine making out with her boyfriend."

Charlie looked shocked before clearing his voice. "Oh well that's good, that she was able to explain that to you."

Filene smiled, walking over to Charlie and hugged him. "I love you dad."

Charlie chuckled before bringing his youngest child closer to him. "I love you to sweet heart, with all of my heart.

Right at the moment a knock sounded by the front door, Filene let Charlie go before heading for the door; when she OPENED it she was surprised to see Paul standing on the porch with his mischievous smile.

"Paul, hey." Filene greeted with a smile before hugging him. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to get you, Sam wants you to join in our training to killing newborns." Paul explained after he let go of Filene. "And maybe teach you a few things since Livy is getting on with age."

"Hey! Livy is doing just fine, it has saved me way more times than anything and anyone in my life." Filene defended her silver bat as she picked it up before looking behind her. "Dad? I am heading to Emily's house!"

"Okay, stay safe!" was the reply.

Paul raised an eyebrow. "I find it interesting how when your sister wants to go out he flips, but when you say you are going out he just waves his hand…. Should I feel worried?"

Filene snorted, rolling her eyes. "Unlike someone I don't just out of the blue run to Seattle, the woods, and Italy whenever I have a fight with my boyfriend. And besides he trusts me."

Paul smiled as they began their walk through the woods. "Well, if he knew what we did together I think he would change his mind."

Filene turned red before punching lightly on Paul shoulder. "Okay, one we didn't do anything other than make out or literally slept together on the couch and two dad will never ever know about that,"

Paul smirked at Filene before giving her a thoughtful look. "If we were still together, would you still pine for Jake's attention?"

Filene stopped and looked up into Paul's chocolate brown eyes that watched her with anticipation. She gave him a long look before slowly shaking her head.

Paul let out what Filene guess was a relieved breath and she grinned at him.

"No Paul, I would never do that to you or anyone for that matter." she told him. "Jake made his choice, though… after today I just don't know."

"Wait." Paul interrupted. "What happened today?"

Filene explained to him exactly what happened after the little experiment with Jacob hiding Bella's smell, she was surprised as to how she could talk to Paul about everything so easily yet she hesitates to tell Jessica or Angela.
