Forever and Always

Analeigh’s POV

I woke up the next morning to find myself curled up on the sofa in Paul’s house, him wrapped tightly around me with one hand covering an exposed bit of thigh while the other was curled under my head.

I turned my head slightly and kissed the skin I could readily get to and I heard him rumble a laugh behind me
“morning” he greeted with a sleep roughened voice, sounding sexy as hell. I bit my lip before answering back
“good morning Paul” I turned over slightly so I could see him and found him looking at me with a sexy grin spread across his face.

He took his hand off my thigh to brush some of my hair back, his eyes following the movement as he did so
“it’s so soft” he commented quietly, still half asleep. I giggled
“well I would hope so, straw like hair would be horrible” he chuckled like I thought he would before he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him, closing his eyes
“go back to sleep” he murmured and I smiled as I reached up to run a finger lightly across his neck, making him shiver
“as much as I would like to do that, I have things to do today” I told him sadly, kind of wishing I didn’t but then I had to help Leah with this thing, she needed to talk to Sam and I knew she wouldn’t do it without my help.

Paul whined as he took my hand in his own and held it still against his skin, absorbing the feel
“why? Can’t you put it off just a little longer, an hour is all I ask” he begged and I sighed, capitulating
“an hour ok but then I really have to get up” I told him sternly but all he did was smile and pull me closer to snuggle into him.

I ended up sleeping for another two hours which Paul darn well knew would happen and was completely unrepentant about it, in fact he would just grin and pull me in for a kiss when I told him off which was frustrating as it always distracted me.

It was doing so right this moment as I was lacing my shoes up but he kept placing kisses along my shoulders from his position behind me, his legs on either side of my hips and his arms wrapped around my waist. I giggled and tried to shrug him off but he was a persistent bugger
“come on Paul, I really do have to go, this is important” I told him, he stopped and leant aside slightly so I could see him frowning at me
“what is it?” he asked, I sighed and shook my head
“it’s Leah’s business but she needs my help and I need to go now so I can help her” I informed him.

He sighed and nodded
“ok, you have to help a friend, I get it” he smiled at me and I smiled back before leaning in and kissing him, getting lost in it for a moment before pulling away and standing up
“I’ll see you tonight?” I asked and he nodded
“yeah, I’ll stop by yours, leave your window open” I nodded then turned and walked out of the house before I could do something silly like just stay there.

I walked to Leah’s and walked through the door to find her sat on the sofa, knees to her chest as she stared blankly at the TV. I sighed and moved over to her, taking a hold of her arms and tugging
“come on Leah, time to go see Sam” I urged and she made herself a dead weight so I couldn’t move her.

I glared at her and muttered
“damn werewolf strength” amusement came to her eyes for a moment before they went blank again.

Getting frustrated I walked over to the phone and picked it up telling her as I dialled
“right, if you won’t go to him, he’s coming here” Leah’s head shot up and she looked at me shocked but I just pressed send and brought the phone to my ear.

I waited a few moments before his voice came on the line
“Hello?” he answered and I smiled
“hey Sam, it’s Analeigh calling from Leah’s, would you mind coming over, we have something to discuss with you and only you” I told him. He hesitated a moment before agreeing
“yeah sure, I’ll be there in 15” I thanked him then hung up and looked at Leah
“there, he will be here soon so I suggest you sort out what you want to say now” I told her before I looked at her expectantly.

Leah sat there and bit her lip
“do I really want to do this Ana? Ruin a perfectly good life because I’m feeling broody?” she asked, genuinely worried. I sighed and took the seat beside her, taking her hand in mine as I spoke
“Leah you are my best girlfriend and I know that you have always wanted kids the fact that you can’t now much be killing you and you know it is, you thought about this so much over the last few weeks that you are tying yourself up in knots, you don’t want to be a shape shifter anymore, I know that and so do you, you just need to work up the courage to tell Sam” I finished. Leah looked at me and nodded before taking a deep breath
“ok”

We waited and finally Sam stepped into the room and looked at us questioningly
“ok what is the matter then?” he asked, I looked at Leah who took a deep breath then looked Sam in the eye and told him
“I don’t want to be a wolf anymore”
