Love Makes Blind

[Elia's Point of View]

I felt my cheeks burn when we walked downstairs.
“Ugh, please tell me that you two did not just have sex in the room I have to sleep in.” Gina said in what sounded like a scared tone.
My blush became more intense.
“Elia!” she complained.
“No! We didn’t have sex!” I said and searched helplessly for Paul’s hand.
Gina sighed in relief. “Good, then maybe I can manage to sleep there.”
Paul put an arm around my shoulder. “Gina… Elia I didn’t have sex in her room now. But when was it, three days ago we did it there?”
I gasped. “PAUL!” I slapped his arm and stepped away from him.

“[Oh my god. Elia! I thought you were going to wait until you were married!]” Gina asked me in Italian.
I was so embarrassed, and mad at Paul. “[I was. But things change.]”
“[Did he pressure you?]” She wanted to know. Even though I couldn’t see Paul I could sense he was pretty curious on what we were talking about.
“No. Let’s just go to the beach. Have you called the boys, Paul?” I started towards the front door.
“Yeah, they’ll be there.” He put his arm around me again.

We walked outside and headed for the beach, I think.
“Sorry monster.” He said and kissed my temple.
I couldn’t help but smile.
“Why do you call her monster?” Gina asked. “It’s a weird nickname for a girlfriend.”
“Elia don’t want to call her baby because everyone else does.” Paul explained and helped me up on his back.
“And before you ask Gi, Paul wants me to sit on his back so he doesn’t have to worry about me tripping and hurting myself.” I told her, knowing she would ask either way.
“Okay. So who are these boys?” She asked instead.
I laughed. “They actually remind me a little about Mario and everybody back home.”
“That would be hard to imagine.” I got a feeling that her words had a double meaning.

Loud shouts where heard, and I recognized a couple of the boys.
“What are they doing now?” I asked in a sigh.
“They are wrestling! Damn, I have to go and kick Jake’s ass!” Paul was eager and jumped up and down.
I laughed and slid down. “Go play with your buddies!”
“You’re not afraid he is going to get hurt?” Gina asked after Paul jogged away.
I laughed again. “No, not at all.”

Someone came over to us, but before I had the chance to find out who it was, I was lifted off the ground and placed over someone’s shoulder. The person started running and I sniffed his back. I recognized the smell.
“Seth Clearwater, put me down right now!” I screamed.
“Not gone happen.” He continued to run, and kept running through the water.
“Paul!” I called in a panicked voice. “Seth is trying to kill me!”
Seth let out a thrilled laughter and dropped me in the water.

I stood up quickly and glared in Seth’s direction. “That was both evil and rude! You soaked my clothes and you didn’t even say hi to Gina. Is she around?” A thought popped into my mind.
“No, why?” He asked.
“Did you imprint?” I asked in a whisper.
“No. And no one of the others.” He mumbled.
“Crap…” I mumbled.

“Paul!” I called again just as he wrapped his arms around me.
“Yes beautiful?” he asked.
“Seth is mean. My clothes are soaked.” I pouted.
“Mmmm. I can see that.” he kissed me softly.
I smiled into the kiss. “Don’t get to carried away, here are other people.”
“No, Seth walked back to the beach.” He told me and kissed me again.
I pulled away. “But I have to go introduce Gina.”
“I already did that.” Paul lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around him.
“Everyone can see us.”
Paul sighed and started walking back to the beach. “Fine. But I get so horny when your clothes are soaked.”
I laughed. “Then I guess I’ll have to take them off.”
Paul groaned. “Fuck!”
I laughed and rested my forehead on his chest.

Paul placed me on the ground again and I could feel a towel under my feet. I lifted my top and threw it on the ground. Paul groaned again and pulled me down on his lap.
“You make it look like a fucking strip show!” he mumbled against my neck.
I giggled.
“What’s wrong with them?” I heard Embry ask.
“Their horny.” Gina told them.
“Gi!” I said shocked.
“What? I walked in on them almost having sex.” She plumped down on the towel next to us and all the others gathered around.
“Poor you. I can imagine how you feel.” Jacob said.
I kicked my foot out in hope to kick him.
“Hey!” Brady yelled.
“Oops.” I smiled apologetically in his direction.
“Does someone want to go swimming with me?” Gina whined and without anymore chit-chat, they all disappeared, leaving me with Paul.

“They like her.” Paul lay down, I did the same.
“Yeah?” I smiled and rested my head on his chest.

[Seven days later]

Gina had just left with Darin and my mother. Gina was going back to Italy and mom and Darin was going to New York. Paul had patrol, but he would be over any moment. I didn’t feel good so I walked over to the couch and took a nap.

I had a strange dream, well, not really a dream, my dream consist of feelings, not images. But the dream was so painful. It felt like someone ripped my heart, leaving me all hallow and empty. ‘You are going to lose her…’someone whispered.

I shot up from the couch just as the front door was opened.
I smiled. “Paul! I was starting to worry.”
“Elia.” It wasn’t Paul.
“Leah, what are you doing here?” her sad tone scared me.

“I’m sorry, there has been an accident.”
