"Would You Like To Know Me?"

Part 18

Paul sat in the passenger side looking at the scenery as you drove up all the winding curves to get to where it was you were taking him, lost in his thoughts. It was his first time seeing you in four months, though the day had some interesting encounters, the butterflies he got from just the simple touch of your hand made all the insanity worth it. After little Evan, though you weren't around him full time yet you brought him just as much happiness, and also after his son you were the other important person in his life he had to protect. Your voice pulled him out of his thoughts, as he turned to look at you.

"We will be there in about 5 minutes, You okay over there you've been pretty quiet," you asked

"Just enjoying the view, it's amazing up here, how often do you come up? Paul asked as he turned to look back out the window.

"Not as often as I'd like to honestly, It's a bit of a walk since I don't have a car, but when things get bad at home I come up here sometimes to camp out" You answered, realizing for the first time you had filled someone in on your secret hiding place. You pulled into the area and parked getting out of the car. Paul came over and stood next to you.

" You don't believe those things that they say about you right? That you should just take what your mom does and not say anything? Already knowing the answer

"Honestly Paul, yeah I do" you looked at him sadly

He felt like he had been punched in the stomach by that statement. "Y/N you are none of those things. You are kind, loving, beautiful. You gave your life up for a woman that cuts you down daily, no one I know would do that. You're not like anyone I met, you don't put me on the pedestal others do."

You walked over to a grassy area and sat down with Paul coming behind you and wrapping his arms around you placing his chin on your shoulders.

You sighed " This all started with a promise Paul and it's one that I can't seem to break myself from. I gave up everything including my sanity to make sure my dad's last wish was taken care of. The cut downs, and hits that's nothing new to me. I just haven't found a reason to throw my hands up, no one has wanted me for years. So they are right in what they say.

"Y/N you are important to me, you understand that? Four months ago you were the greatest thing I saw and there's something here. I'll do anything I can to help. Hell, I came three thousand miles to be here with you because I'm that stubborn to make this work and selfish that I had to see you. He said.

Paul pulled you in closer to him both of you enjoying the moment of quiet looking at the scenery. He didn't get these moments in Beverly Hills, not the peace or a great view of the sun starting to sit holding someone special. Leaning down Paul kissed your neck feeling tense up to the feeling. He smiled against your neck doing it again.

"Are you going to show me where you take your pictures or show me what else you find so great out here. He whispers in your ear.

Turning toward him looking to his eyes as though you were searching for something. Paul pushed the hair behind your ear looking back at you before leaning in and kissed you. Slowly and passionately taking control over your mouth. Pulling grabbing his hair to pull him in closer as he slipped his tongue into your mouth demanding more. His mind exploding wanting more but not to push you. You broke the kiss trying to catch your breath. Leaning his head against your forehead taking a breath." Come on before things get out of hand." chuckling.

"Who said I didn't want things to get interesting?" Winking at him as you stood up to dust yourself up, hearing him groan. Smiling to yourself, "we can always leave and come back another day if you want? Asking him.

"No I want to see where you get creative at, we have plenty of time to get things interesting again," Paul said.

Two hours later of walking around all over the area that your family had owned for dedicated you had told Paul but you were the only one that used it. Without him knowing you had snapped pictures of him. Walking back he looked back over at you smiling, even being out in nature he found enjoyment being with you and felt the week was going to go by way too quickly.

"So hotel to clean up and check on your fur-ball then go from there?" Paul asked you leaning against the hood. He grinned as you made your way over to him throwing your arms around his neck kissing his cheek. Leaning into his ear "Lead the way Mr. Stanley, I'm sure whatever you decide it will get very interesting" getting satisfaction in hearing Paul groan as you tossed him the keys and loaded up into the passenger seat.

Both of you knew the week would be getting very interesting and hoped it would stay on the positive side. You know though nothing ever did in your life but you had a strong partner now. Bringing a smile to your face as Paul drove off.
