Hi guys! I am so very excited to start the story of Paul imprinting! I have actually been writing chapters to this story for a while, and have about 5 completed, but I haven't shared them because I am currently working on another story, but as I continued to write and fell in love with the story, I felt that I just had to share with you! (PS: it is rated T for now, but may change depending on how you all feel and where I take the writing!)
Don't worry, I will still be updating FF, too:) This story is going to have shorter chapters, like this one, but because of that I will try to update every other day! I am really excited about this and I hope, hope, hope you like the first chapter! I am going to switch off between Paul and his imprint's POV. xoxo
Disclaimer: So much respect for Stephanie and I own nothing! I know SM wrote Paul with Jacob's sister, but this is just my own take on things:)
Paul's POV
"Hey guys, think any of you could untangle yourself from your imprint's claws long enough to go out to the bars with Embry and I tonight?" I ask as I sling my shoulder around Jake and roughly punch him in the arm.
"Why would I go to the bars with you?" Jake laughs and shakes his head as he effortlessly ducks a punch from me. "I think I have seen enough of the poor, unsuspecting girls that you destroy in one night stands."
Everyone laughs, and I roll my eyes, though I can't help but laugh internally a little bit; what they are saying is definitely true.
"Laugh all you want," I moan as I lower myself into a seat and rest my hands behind my head. I cross my legs on the chair in front of me and ignore the annoyed stares I get from other customers. "But I don't see you getting any ass, Jake."
"Shut your mouth," Jake speaks between gritted teeth. I notice him squeezing his hands tightly into fists and laugh. Jake, hell, any of the guys who have had the misfortune of imprinting, have this weird thing where if you even so much as mention their girlfriend's name in any sort of "disrespectful" way, they will just about kill you and everyone you love. I roll my eyes; takes out all the fun.
"How is that going, by the way?" Seth asks, and now I really roll my eyes.
"Shut up Seth," Jared mumbles and I laugh and hit Seth upside the head. He narrows his eyes at me but doesn't try anything; smart kid.
"Great," Jacob begins, and I know I am not the only one who notices the way that my usually bro-esc wolf friend turns into a freaking puddle of water on the damn sidewalk.
"Way to go Seth," Quil moans, speaking all of our inner-monologue.
Ever since Jake started dating that little, and hot, I must admit, vampire girl, she is every thought he has ever thought in I swear to God, five months. The "no ass" that I was referring to, has much to do with the fact that her bloodsucking father basically told Jacob that if he touched her before she was physically 18, although I have no idea how the hell that works because she is technically five, he would suck the life out of him and then bring him back to life just to do it again. I must admit, though, it has been rather funny while in wolf form seeing little Renesmee Cullen who I always pictured as some little girl that hung around the house test every ounce of willpower that Jacob most definitely does not have.
I laugh to myself and look around the town. We came into the small town of Forks today to get something to eat after our patrol. Emily is out of town, so our usual place to land for muffins and steaks and chili and basically everything else, is currently not an option. My eyes catch something blonde flowing in the wind, and I turn my gaze to land upon a petite girl with dirty blonde hair.
"Hey," I hit Embry's shoulder and point in her direction. "$50 if you could successfully nag her number."
Embry scoffs. "Oh please, might as well make it $100."
I smack him harder now. "You're on! Go get it little boy!"
"Woop woop!" Jake cat-calls as he stands up and starts heading in her direction. We all remain rather unusually quiet as we watch him; while Embry is definitely not some dork with no game, he is no me.
I notice him reach her and then her head picks up from whatever paper she had been hiding her face in. I notice a smile that sparkles even from this far away, and that's when I notice other things too. She has long, tan legs, and I trace my eyes up the length of her body, which is skinny in all the right places and curvy in all the right places.
"Whew," I whistle. "Maybe I should have gone for that one."
Jacob rolls his eyes. "You're going to have a terrible life when you're a father some day, knowing all that shit you thought about girls when you've got your own."
"Thanks dad."
Everyone snickers, and then I see the girl's body shake as she laughs. A sudden urge comes over me where I want to make her shake from something else.
"Gentlemen," I nod jokingly as I stand up and then make my way to where they are standing. As soon as I reach them I latch my arm around Embry and then do that smile thing that has gotten many girl's pants off.
"Hey, hope this guy's not bothering you." I catch him in a death grip and then rub my first against the top of his head. He struggles against my strength and then finally I let him go with a laugh. Embry looks like he is about to kill me... and now I know why.
Up close, I realize that this girl isn't just hot, I mean she is smoking hot. Her long legs that I had noticed are tanned and smooth and fucking shining. Her white shorts cling to her in oh such the right way and her shirt, though just a loose V-neck, is strewn to the side a little, showing off the corner of a black bikini.
Her eyes go up to mine but my eyes stay at her chest. I didn't know it was possible to have such smooth looking skin.
She pulls up at the collar and when I finally look at her face I catch the end of her rolling her eyes. "So Embry," She begins as she holds the map out to him. "What were you saying about that bookstore?"
Her lips are full, fuller than natural but I don't think she got those stupid injections everyone is always talking about now-a-days. Her nose is small and her cheekbones are defined and that is when I notice that her collar-bone is defined as well; I am not sure why that turns me on so much.
Her cheeks are rosy which is a nice contrast to her hair that is dirty, dirty, oh fuck I hope she is dirty, blonde which looks so soft I argue with myself not to just reach out and touch it.
"Oh," Embry clears his throat and leans closer to her. It pisses me off, but I know that I haven't used any of my real game on this hottie yet. "It's a little less than a mile from here, right by the water. It's not huge but I'm sure it'll have what you're looking for. If not I know the owner and he's pretty cool so he could probably order it."
"Oh," The tension drops in her shoulders and I immediately want to put tension back just for a whole different reason. "Thank you so much! That makes it so much easier because I've just been walking around here like an idiot with this stupid map that I swear is from the 1900's." She giggles and I watch the way that she bites the corner of her lip. Sexy. "I've got to get these books before school starts and I totally procrastinated."
"I'm Paul by the way." I hold out my hand and plaster on that smile and wait for her to look, but she doesn't.
"Yeah hi Paul," She mumbles and then shakes my hand without even looking in my direction.
I hear Embry snicker but push down the annoyance that I am beginning to feel rise in my chest. Who the hell does this girl think she is?
"So you said you moved," Embry continued, and the girl nodded her head. She seems to be able to answer him. "Where from?"
Her eyes drop to the floor before she regains her confidence. "Oh I've been a little bit of everywhere. My parent's job's take them all around the country so this is just the newest one."
She is lying. I know that she is, though Embry doesn't seem to have any idea.
"Oh, cool," He shrugs. "Well, if you need any help or anything you could always give me a call."
"I will," She smiles and then peers down at the part of what I now know to be the map with a scribbled down name and phone number. Holy shit; this asshole really did it.
"Hey," I reach for her arm and she winces away from my grasp. "Woah," I laugh. "I'm not going to bite you." If only she knew.
Her shoulders rise and fall as she takes a deep breath and then finally looks at me.
I nearly fall to the ground.
For a second everything stops. I can't hear, I can't see, I can't speak, I even think I forget how to breathe. It is if the world stops spinning, and then it starts again, completely on a different axis and spinning in the opposite direction, as I struggle to understand what the hell just happened and how to stay on my feet.
I think Embry might have been saying something, because when he shoves me I finally brake out of my trance, only to see this girl who is honestly the most beautiful, perfect girl I have ever laid my eyes on, looking at me like I am certifiable.
"Oh, ugh- I, ugh," I hold out my hand again and she jumps away. Jesus, this girl sure is jumpy. "I'm Paul."
She nods her head slowly, and the hints of a smile pull up on her red lips. "You already said that."
"Did I?" I can't even fake coolness at this point, so why even try?"
"Yeah," She laughs, and I love the way that her skin crinkles just slightly around her eyes when she does. Damn those eyes. They are pale blue with a whole lot of green and huge and shining and I just realized that everything on this girl is fucking shining.
"Do you, ugh, so you just moved here?" I struggle to find conversation.
"Yeah," She answers slowly, quickly looking towards Embry who is trying to cover his mouth to keep from laughing too hard. "Like I said," She mumbles at the end.
"So where are you going to school?" I am desperate to keep the conversation going, to keep her here and keep her interested. "Probably Forks," I mutter an answer to my own question,
She squints her eyes at me. "Why probably Forks High?"
"Well, you just look like you would," I stammer.
She raises her eyebrows. "And what exactly does a girl that goes to Forks High look like?"
Embry can't hold back the laughter now, and I try to discreetly shove him in the gut when she isn't looking, but I know that she saw. "Well, I- ugh, well- nothing," I finally finish.
She nods her head. "Well I'm glad to hear that I look like nothing, but I will be attending school at the reservation, so it appears your detective skills need a little work."
"The reservation?" I nearly blurt. "I work there."
Her eyes nearly bug out of her head. "You work there?"
"Well I coach," I clarify, not wanting to sound too much like a pedophile. Stupid, Paul, just stupid! "But don't worry I'm not like a head coach or anything, I mean I don't teach too, I just come in to work with some of the football players. I went to Forks too, I could show you the ropes, the best make out spots, the food to avoid, anything you want, really." I cross my arms confidently over top of my chest and I don't know what I am expecting, but her for to burst out laughing is not it.
"Okay, and if that is your flirting that really needs some help too." She rolls her eyes and then turns to Embry. "Nice meeting you Embry, I'm sure I'll see you around."
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Make out spot? Really Paul? I hadn't even thought about what I was saying, it just honestly was one of the things that I knew best about my time in high school. "Wait!" I call after her. I go to reach for her arm but then pull back when I remember how she reacted before. She turns slowly, and I notice how she takes in my large stature standing over her, much closer now, and tucks her hands around herself, slinking down in a way. I take a step back and I notice her stand up straighter.
I search my brain for something, for anything to say, but come up short. My brain stopped working a hell of a long time ago. "What's your name?" I ask quietly, softly even, and it is so unlike me, but something that I somehow know that she needs, and I notice her eyes dart up to mine in surprise.
"S-Scarlett," She replies uneasily.
Yep. The name suits her attractiveness level by about 100%. Kill me now.
I blink, and when I open my eyes again her back is to me as she heads in the opposite direction. I want to chase after her, but I have this distinct and overwhelming feeling that I am going to have to be doing a lot of chasing, and that this one is going to be a damn marathon.
Embry is laughing so hard I shove him to the ground and then stomp back to the rest of the pack. They all look at me, surprised by my sudden anger, as I pass by them and head straight for the woods.
"What happened?" Jacob calls after me. "She didn't go for you?"
"Wasn't into your rock-like muscles and sensitive personality?" Jared shouts.
I growl and take off for the forest. I need a release. As soon as I am out of sight I shift and then take off running, no clear destination in sight, but an anger that I can't even begin to understand overtaking me; I never wanted to imprint, hell, this shouldn't have happened, especially to me! But then I think of her face and I find myself whining. I don't want to hurt her, and I think I finally realize that, that is why I am so upset.
I have never not hurt a girl I have been with before- not physically, of course, but I was a get what I want and then leave type of guy. I don't want to do that to her, but I am afraid that I don't know how not to.
Please review so I know how you like the first chapter!
I have the next chapter done so if I get a good response I'll post asap! Much love:)
