Chapter 3 Quality Time
A/N Okay here is another update. I'm thinking about writing another story, but a cross over with Twlight and WWE wrestling. Enjoy!
I went straight to my room and crashed on my bed. None of this day made any sense. I didn't even think wolves existed. I acted cool when Paul had told me he imprinted on me and that he was a shape shifting wolf but on the inside I was freaking out. Seth, Paul and the other guys seemed so normal, yea they were big muscled but still. What was with this imprinting thing? Paul explained to me that it was a special connection but I wasn't sure what connection Paul wanted with me. What if I do develop a connection with Paul and I have to move, I don't want myself or Paul to go through that. I needed to stay away from Paul for awhile so I could think things over.
At school Monday I was trying my best to avoid Seth. I knew he was going to bug me about knowing the truth and I wasn't ready to talk to him. It wasn't that easy to avoid him though at
"Hey Cody, What's up?" Seth asked.
"Hey Seth, nothing much." I answered.
"What's going on with you? I tried calling you on Sunday and you never picked up.
"Sorry, I was busy." I said.
"Okay, you want to hang after school?" Seth asked.
"I cant, I have some things to do." I said.
"Cody are you angry with me?" Seth asked. I shook my head, I paid for my lunch
"I have to eat real quick and go study for a test, see you later." I said. I walked away, I took a look back as Seth made his way to his table. I hated not being able to hang with Seth but I needed time to myself.
I was on my away to the bus to go home when I spotted Paul's car parked by the bus stop. Paul was looking right at me so there was no use in trying to get by him. I slowly walked to him, trying to think about what I would say to him.
"Hey" Paul said.
"Can I drive you home?' Paul asked. I hesitated in answering
"We need to talk, let me drive you home." Paul told me. I got into Paul's car and he drove out of the parking lot. I stared out the window, avoiding looking at Paul.
"You hungry?" Paul asked. I shook my head.
"Damn it Cody, talk to me. What the hell is wrong with you?" Paul asked. Paul pulled over to the side of the road and turned his car off. He turned to me, he touched my arm, making me look at him.
"You have been ignoring my calls, ignoring Seth. He told me you haven't talked to him since Monday." Paul said.
"I'm sorry, I guess I just needed time to think about stuff." I said.
"Think about what?" Paul asked.
"Stuff like you telling me you're a wolf and you imprinting on me. You don't think that's a big deal?" I asked.
"I know it's a big deal but you shouldn't ignore me or your friends." Paul said.
"I hated ignoring Seth or you but I didn't know what to do or say." I said.
"What are you confused about now?" Paul asked.
"Imprint, I don't know what to do about that." I said.
"How about if we go slow and try to figure out this imprint together?" Paul asked.
"What if that time is limited?" I asked.
"Are you afraid of moving?" Paul asked.
"No, not afraid, just expected." I told him.
"Don't worry about moving, focus on what's going on now." Paul said. Paul was right, I needed to worry about what was going on now instead of worrying about when the next move was going to be. Paul started his car up and started driving towards my house. We finished the car ride in silence.
I felt bad after my talk with Paul. I still had some thinking to do but I needed to do something first. I pulled out my phone and dialed a number.
"Hey Cody." Seth answered.
"Hey Seth, listen I'm sorry about ignoring you this week. It's just with everything Paul told me last weekend I just needed to do some thinking." I told Seth.
"I understand Cody." Seth said. Seth and I talked for awhile before he had to go so he could patrol. I needed to remember to ask Paul what patrol meant. I walked downstairs and saw my uncle watching football. I was starting to think that's all my uncle did, work come home and watch tv. I sat down next to uncle Todd and he passed me a soda and the bowl of chips.
I was busy in my room getting my history homework done when there was a knock at my door.
"Cody you have someone is here to see you." I heard aunt Layla say. I wondered who was here. I closed my history book and walked downstairs. I was shocked to see it was Paul. Paul stared at me before he spoke.
"Hey, you want to grab some food?" he asked. It was close to dinner and I was getting hungry so I nodded. I told my aunt where I was going and followed Paul to his car.
We went to a local dinner in town. The waitress named Becky showed us to a table handed us two menus and walked away.
"How have you been?" Paul suddenly asked. I looked up from my menu.
"I'm good. What about you?" I asked.
"I'm fine." Paul said. When the waitress came back we gave our orders and I could tell she was flirting with Paul. Paul paid no attention to Becky. His eyes were solely on me. We both decided to get cheeseburgers and fries with sodas. While I only ordered one burger, Paul ordered three burgers. We waited in silence for our food. Those feelings started to come back again, they were starting to surface when I was in Paul's car. I had come to a conclusion that these feelings I had when I was with Paul was due to the imprint, I would eventually ask Paul about it.
"How's school going?" Paul asked.
"It's going good. I actually like this school." I told him
"Why do you move around so much?" Paul asked. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Paul. Something inside me though wanted too.
"It's complicated." I said. Paul frowned.
"I don't like you keeping stuff from me Cody." he sternly told me.
"It doesn't matter why I move around okay, I just do." I told him. I hardly knew Paul and yet he expected me to tell him everything.
"I'll accept that answer for now but eventually I know you will tell me." Paul said. I nodded and looked up when Becky brought our food to us.
I followed Paul back to his car. I was about to get into his car when Paul stopped me, he was standing right in front of me. I could feel the heat coming off of him. Paul stepped closer and our noses were almost touching. I wasn't sure what the hell was going on. I was trapped between Paul and his car. Paul looked down at me and his mouth was inching closer to mine. My eyes widened when I realized what Paul was about to do. I turned my head just when his lips were about to connect with mine. His lips brushed against my cheek and I could hear a slight growl coming from Paul. I nervously looked at Paul.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"Don't be, I shouldn't have done that." Paul told me.
"Paul I don't know if I can do this." I said. Paul backed away and walked to the drivers side.
"Lets go somewhere and talk" Paul said. I got inside the car and Paul drove up. I looked out the window to see where Paul was taking us too and I saw that we were in La Push. Paul drove us to the beach and parked the car.
With out saying a word he got out the car and started walking towards the sand. I walked with Paul until he stopped and sat in the sand. I sat next to him and looked out into the ocean. The sun was setting and it was getting colder out.
"Paul?"
"Yea Cody."
"Are you gay?" I asked. Paul slowly nodded.
"I wasn't sure until I imprinted on you." Paul told me.
"I don't know if I'm gay. I never had feelings for guys before until you imprinted on me." I said.
"Cody what kind of feelings are you having?" Paul asked.
"I have feelings like I want to touch you, be around you and it hurts when we are apart." I told Paul blushing.
"Cody, those feelings you have are because we imprinted, we have a connection." Paul said. I shivered a little and Paul sat behind me, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me to his chest. I could feel his heat, warming me and it felt nice.
"Does this make me gay?" I asked.
"We don't have to put a label on it Cody and there is nothing wrong with being gay." Paul told me. I stayed wrapped up in Paul's arms for sometime. It felt good being so close to someone, especially Paul. I yawned and Paul unwrapped his arms and stood up.
"I thinks its time to get you home." Paul said. I stood up and we walked back to the car.
At school the next day Seth kept bothering me with questions about my date with Paul.
"It wasn't a date." I told him. How did he know that I saw Paul last night? We were in the cafeteria eating lunch.
"You guys ate dinner together and talked on the beach, it was a date Cody." Seth informed me. I shook my head and continued to eat.
"When are you guys going on your second date?" Seth teased. I glared at him before laughing.
Saturday morning I was eating breakfast when my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller id and saw it was Paul.
"Hey, get ready I'm coming to pick you up in twenty minutes." Paul said.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Don't worry, we are going to spend some time together." Paul said. Paul hung up before I could say anything else. My uncle was busy with the tv and my aunt was going shopping with Ashley so I was free to do anything I wanted. I dressed as fast as I could and for some reason I felt like I needed to dress up more. I could hear Paul's horn and I checked myself over in the mirror before I left the house.
Paul took us to La Push and we were at his house. Paul lived with his mom but she was at work. Paul showed me around his house, I took a quick peak into his bedroom and then we went into the living room.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" Paul asked. We got comfortable on the couch as the movie started. Paul's arm made its way around my back and my head was on his shoulder. The movie was half way done when I felt Paul run his fingers lazily in my hair, I look up and at that moment Paul's lips were on mine. I froze; I had never kissed a guy before. Paul's lips moved on mine and my mouth slowly opened to let his tongue slide in. I let Paul control the kiss as his tongue massaged my tongue. I was gently pushed down on the couch as Paul hovered over me, slowly kissing me. Paul broke the kiss and stared down at me. Paul moved back to his spot on the couch and I sat up. We continued watching the movie but I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. I had been kissed before but never by a guy. Paul's kiss was different, it was soft but rough.
The movie ended and I saw that Paul was sleeping. I quietly got off the couch and walked into the kitchen. I was hungry and I figured Paul was too. I found some sandwich meat in the fridge and the bread in the pantry.
"What are you doing?" I jumped and turned to see Paul standing next to me.
"You were sleeping, I was going to make us some lunch, is that okay?" I asked.
"Yea if you want." Paul said. Paul sat at the table while I made some sandwiches.
"How many do you want?" I asked. I knew Paul was going to eat more than one sandwhich.
"Four." Paul said. That didn't surprise me.
"Thanks for lunch." Paul told me.
"Paul are you in college?" I asked. I knew that was random but I didn't know what to talk about with Paul.
"Yea, I take a few classes. I want to be a mechanic and run my own mechanic business. I work at a local mechanic shop here to help pay tuition and help my mom pay some bills." Paul told me.
"Do you think about what you want to do after you graduate?" Paul asked. I shook my head
"No, but I never really gave it a thought." I said. I was surprised how easy it was to talk to Paul.
"It's hard sometimes with school, work and wolf duties." Paul said.
"Does wolf duties include patrolling?" I asked.
"Yea, how do you know about that?" Paul asked.
"Seth mentioned having to patrol when we talked on the phone. He didn't say anything else." I said. Paul then explained to me that the pack took turns patrolling La Push nightly. He then told me why was because of vampires.
"You don't have to worry about them though, I would never let those leeches come anywhere near you." Paul growled out. I smiled and Paul leaned over and placed a quick kiss on my lips.
"Paul, are you home?" I heard a women call out.
"Emily I'm in here." Paul called out. I saw women walk in and Paul got up from the table and took the bags that's she had in her hands, putting them on the counter.
"What's with the food?" Paul asked.
"Your mom has to work late and asked me to do some grocery shopping." Emily said. Emily noticed me and smiled.
"Hello you must be Cody, I'm Emily, Sam's girlfriend." she told me. Emily was pretty, she had a scar that covered half her face but that didn't seem to matter much.
"Hi, who's Sam?" I asked. Emily frowned and gave Paul a look.
"Huh, I didn't get to telling Cody about the whole pack yet." Paul said. Emily nodded and started putting food from the bags away.
"Sam is the alpha of our pack. He's the one in charge of all of the wolves." Paul told me.
"Okay, did Sam imprint on Emily?" I ask. I got up from the table and started helping Emily put the food away.
"Yes he did. How are things here?" Emily asked.
"There're fine. we are just getting to know each other." Paul said. Paul seemed fustrated about something; I wondered what was going on with him. Emily seemed to sense it and she smiled.
"Okay, well if everything is okay here I'm going to go back home. Sam wants you to come see him when you are free." Emily said. Paul nodded.
"It was nice meeting you Cody and thank you for helping me with the food." Emily said. Emily hugged me before she left.
"She's nice." I said. Paul shrugged
"I guess." he said.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
"Nothing." Paul said. I frowned but soon that went away when Paul pulled me into a kiss.
"Let's watch another movie." Paul said.
Paul's door bell rang repeatedly making us pause the second movie and Paul swung open the door
"What?" Paul all but screamed out. At the door were Seth, Collin, and Brady.
"Hey Paul, we heard that Cody is here." Seth said.
"Yea and?" Paul asked.
"Can we come in?" Seth asked.
"No, we're busy." Paul said.
"What are you doing?" Collin asked. I walked to the door and Paul wrapped his arm around me. Seth smirked.
"Oh I get it, you guys are "busy"" Seth said. Paul glared
"Leave now, and don't come back." Paul said slamming the door in their faces.
"You didn't have to be so mean to them." I said.
"They drive me crazy." Paul told me. I shook my head and Paul led us back to the living room.
