Status: Living happily ever after...well as happy as you can get with werewolves and vampires.

Oh Yeah...It's Hot

02. His eyes pulled me in

When I woke up it was about five-thirty so I started getting ready for the flight. I took a shower and did everything I needed to do because I wanted to look good since I haven’t seen the guys in years. When I got out I put one of my favorite outfits that I could make. I knew the weather in Washington was probably chilly even if it was July. I put my Ipod, cell charger, a couple magazines and books into my backpack that I was going to use as carry on and headed downstairs. “Morning sweetie.” My dad said sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee.

“Oh, morning dad. Why are you up so early? We don’t have to leave for an hour.” I said sitting my bag on the table and pouring myself a cup.

“I wanted to talk to you before we had to leave.” He said taking a sip.

“Ok, what’s on your mind?” I asked sitting down at the table diagonal from him.

“While you are in La Push, the guys…they may be different from the last time you saw them.” He said.

“What do you mean…different?” I asked curiously.

“Well…it’s kinda hard to explain but you will see when you get there.” He said. We got quiet for a minute.

“I wish you were coming with me.” I said looking at him.

“I know, Kari says she needs help…” he whispered. “It’s gonna be different without your craziness here.” He smiled.

“Hey! I accept that insult.” I laughed. We sat and drank coffee till Kari got up then got dressed. While they were getting dressed I texted Natalie and told her I was about to leave for the airport, of course she was upset but it’s not like we were never going to talk ever again. When Dad and she were dressed dad and I loaded my few bags into the back of the car. I slipped into the back seat as dad started the car. We pulled out of the drive way and onto the road. Before we rounded the corner I caught one last look at the house before it disappeared out of sight. It was about a forty-five minute drive to LAX but it went bye fast. Before I knew it we were standing at the boarding gate, passengers boarding the plane as I hugged my dad with my bag on my shoulder and my ticket in my hand.

“Miss you kiddo.” He sighed squeezing me.

“Miss you dad.” I replied squeezing him slightly. This was going to be really hard but I knew that we would both talk on the phone, email and such. We each gave one final squeeze before we let go. I looked at Kari and smiled. “Take care of him…please.” I said.

“Of course dear.” She said. I knew what I had to do so I did it. I took a step forward and hugged her. It was really awkward. As soon as it happened it ended just as fast.

“Final boarding call for Seattle, Washington.” The lady at the gate said. I looked at dad and gave him another quick hug and kiss on the cheek before turning to head to the gate. I showed the lady my ticket and walked forward. Before she closed the door I caught one last look at him then continued to my seat. When I was seated I put my big carry on bag up above my head then sat in my seat. After we all were buckled in and sitting the plane took off into the air. I grabbed my Ipod and a magazine to keep me occupied.

~Paul’s P.O.V~

“Where are we going Billy?” Seth asked from the back seat of Jake’s rabbit. Billy, the pack and I were heading toward Seattle; we only go to Seattle when we have to. The pack and I had no idea why we were going, Billy told us that we needed to meet up at his house and that’s it. He didn’t tell us anything at all.

“Make a left here Jake.” Billy said. Jake made a left turn into the Airport area. “We’re gonna have some company.” He replied.

“Who is it? Do we know him, her or them?” Jake asked.

“Not telling.” Billy answered. Jake looked for a parking spot and parked his car. We all filed out of it while the others filed out of Jared’s van. As we made our way in we all were wondering who the mystery person was that we were picking up. Jake wheeled Billy through the crowd of people toward one of the gates. We stopped and waited for the mystery guest to arrive. While we were waiting I noticed that Kim and Jared were showing some PDA (public display of affection). I nearly gagged at the sight. I think that imprinting don’t mean love at first site, it means you’re pussy whipped. It’s better to be able to see whoever you want whenever you want. I looked at them again and I actually did gag this time. Jake, Embry, Quil and Seth were pestering Billy into telling them who it was. I rolled my eyes. ‘Grow up.’ I said to myself. Just as we were all getting impatient the lady at the gate spoke.

“Flight 104 from LAX has now arrived.” We all looked at the gate and tried to figure out which passenger the mystery guest was.

~Destiny’s P.O.V~

Before I knew it I was in Seattle. I looked out the window and saw that it was raining. I put my hood up and put my stuff back into my bag. I let the other passengers exit before I did so I could take my time. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and grabbed my big carry on from above me. I slid the strap over my shoulder and made my way toward the exit. I walked down the long tunnel which led to the waiting area. There were a lot of people there. I looked around for Billy but I couldn’t see him. I had thought about yelling his name but I didn’t wanna humiliate myself. I kept walking away from the large crowd so I could see better. Just as I got to the edge of the mob I saw him. I noticed that he had a large group of people with him which consisted of Jake, Quil, Embry, Billy and other’s I didn’t know. I made my way over to them with a smile on my face.

~Paul’s P.O.V~

As we still looked for the mystery guest I noticed a girl walking in our direction. She was gorgeous. She had long black hair, tan skin like ours, green eyes, and the most beautiful smile. “JAKE! QUIL! EMBRY!” she yelled. Her smile grew even bigger as they ran toward each other. She hugged all three of them and then made her way toward us. “Uncle Billy! I missed you so much. How have you been?” she asked. Her voice was like music to my- WAIT! I hope I didn’t just imprint. SHIT!!! This is just perfect. She is perfect. I couldn’t stop staring at her.

~Destiny’s P.O.V~

I hugged Uncle Billy while Jake grabbed my big bag from my shoulder. “How have you been?” I asked him.

“Doing well. Still dancing.” He said. We both laughed and I looked at the group of people I didn’t know.

“So…who’s your posse?” I asked him.

“This is Sam Uley, his fiancée Emily, that’s Jared and his girlfriend Kim, Seth and his sister Leah and that is Paul. Everyone this is my niece Destiny, she is our mystery guest.” Uncle Billy said. I waved my hand and said hello. I looked at everyone but the one that stood out was Paul. I looked into his dark brown eyes and almost melted to the floor. I felt like…like there was something special about him. I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling that I was having. Hope? No. Happiness? No. Love? Hmm…that’s weird. I hadn’t even known the guy for two minutes and I think the word love. I looked over his facial structure, wide jaw, nice lips; he looked like he was built. I wonder what he looks like under those clothes. I though to myself. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Jake bumped into me.

“Anyways, let’s get going shall we.” Jake said. I pulled my hood up over my head again since Jake knocked it off while hugging me. I followed everyone one out into the rain and parking area that the cars were in. Once we all were loaded into the cars we took off. It was Jake, Billy, Embry, Quil and Paul( I am sitting on Quil and Embry’s laps) in Jake’s car; which by the way I am SO going to steal from him. Everybody else was in the van.

“Ok, I have a question for you three.” I said referring to Paul, Jake, Embry and Quil.

“What would that be?” Quil asked.

“Are you guys like on some kind of steroid of something because ya’ll are freakin’ beasts.” I laughed. They joined in with my laughter.

“No, we’re not. We just like fitness I guess you can say.” Jake said. I nodded my head in understanding.

“So Jake, where’s this ‘Bella’ chick? I sure would like to give her a piece of my mind.” I said with hatred.

“She uh lives in Forks. She and her husband really don’t come to the rez much.” He said looking at me in the rear view mirror.

“Good, I better not see her while I am here because I really wanna give her a piece of my mind. How old is she anyways?” I asked.

“Nineteen.”

“She got married at nineteen and had a baby…wow sounds like another episode of ’16 and pregnant’.” I said. Everyone kinda laughed. We talked the rest of the way to Billy and Jake’s house. Paul really didn’t talk much, just stared, at me. The entire way. I was kinda creepy but I honestly didn’t mind it.

~Paul’s P.O.V~

I listened to her voice, her laugh, I watched her smile, frown, everything. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. Everyone now and then she would look at me from the corner of her eye and every time she did my heart would start racing for a split second. She looked just like Jake; you could tell that they were definitely related. When we finally pulled up to there house everybody got out of the car. I had to get out before her so when I was out I turned around and offered her my hand to help her out. “Why thank you Paul.” She said smiling at me.

“No problem.” I said smiling back. I watched as she walked to the back of the car and tried to get her bags out of the trunk while everyone else went inside. The last bag seemed to be stuck so she put a foot on the bumper and pulled but it wouldn’t budge. She frowned and said multiple profanities under her breath. I laughed at the sight and she looked at me and smiled.

“Uh Paul…would you mind helping me?” she asked.

“Sure.” I said walking over to the bag. She moved out of my way just in case it flew out of there. I lifted it out of the trunk easily.

“Of course it comes out for you.” She snickered. I closed the trunk and looked into her eyes. I got lost in them, they were almost and emerald green, gorgeous.

~Jake’s P.O.V~

As we walked into the living room Des and Paul were still outside. We all gathered to the windows to watch them. Sure enough, Paul had imprinted on my cousin. We all knew how Paul was and I sure didn’t want Destiny to get hurt because of him. We had always been like brother and sister so I was protective of her even if she was older than me. Paul was always making fun of us for imprinting and now he knows what we are going through. The guys read my mind and laughed. “Well I hope that don’t end in disaster.” I said walking over to the couch. They all turned away from the window except Emily and Kim.

“Have some faith. It’s not every day we get to see this side of him.” Jared said.

“She seems like she can take care of herself. She sure has no fear with confronting people.” Embry said. Everybody looked at him confused. “In the car she brought up Bella and said that if she ever saw her she would give her a piece of her mind for hurting her cousin.”

“She sure is a trooper.” Sam said.

“They’re coming.” Kim said running away from the window with Emily. Seconds later the two walked through the door. She dropped her back pack on the floor and sighed.

“O.M.G it is SO good to FINALLY be home in La Push.” She said smiling.

“Good to have you back after so many years.” Jake said.

~Destiny’s P.O.V~

“Well you can blame that on the whore-I mean Kari.” I said. Everybody laughed and shook their heads.

“Come on Des, I will show you were your room is.” Billy said. I grabbed my bags and followed him down the hall to a door. He pushed it open and rolled in. “It’s not much but it is your own space.” He said looking around. I smiled at my new room. There was already a bed, dresser, a computer table and some decorations that Billy kept here from my room when I lived here last.

“It’s perfect. It really is. Thank you so much Uncle Billy for letting me stay here.” I said giving him a hug.

“No problem kiddo. I’ll leave you to get settled.” He smiled and rolled out of the room closing the door. I put my bags on the bed and sighed. I looked out my window and I had a great view of the woods. I unpacked everything and put stuff where it would go perfectly. I put my clothes away, put my electronics on the computer table, hung my posters and made my bed. Two hours later I was finally done. I was so exhausted so I lay on my bed and relaxed. My thoughts immediately went to Paul. I just couldn’t help but think about him. The way his lips curve when he smiles, his chocolate brown eyes, and even his body. He had a killer body. Every time I though about him I got butterflies in my stomach. It was about six o’ clock when I decided to leave the room. It was quiet through out the house. I tip toed through the house not wanting to disturb the silence. I made my way to the living room and looked around taking everything in. The house really hadn’t changed since I’ve been gone. Pictures of me and Jake, me and Billy, Jake and the guys. There were also pictures of our family. I saw a picture that had my mom in it with me, dad, Billy and Jake down at the beach. I couldn’t help but feel angry.

“You ok?” a deep voice asked from behind me. I jumped and gasped. I turned to see Paul leaning on the doorway.

“Paul you nearly gave me a heart attack.” I said putting my hand on my heart.

“Sorry.” He said smiling a crooked smile.

“Where is everybody?” I asked sitting on the couch.

“At Sam and Emily’s. Cookin’ up a welcome dinner for you.” He said sitting at the other end facing me.

“Aw that’s sweet. What are you doing here?” I asked crossing my legs on the couch.

“I got kicked out.” He laughed.

“Ha what did you do?” I asked.

“I kept eating the cookies. Emily’s cooking is amazing.” He smiled.

“Did you bring any? I love cookies.” I said.

“As a matter of fact…” he paused to reach into his pocket. “I did.” We both laughed.

“Wow you must be sneaky.” I laughed. He handed me one and I took it. It was still warm.

“Yea…or just really fast.” He replied taking a bite. I took a bite of mine and my eyes shot open.

“Damn, this is good.” I said taking another bite. Even though it was about the size of my hand it was gone in seconds and so was Paul’s. “Ahhhh…that was good.” I sighed. He smiled and kinda snickered a lot. He sure does smile a lot. “So…tell me about your self.” I said. We sat on the couch for about an hour and a half just talking. Him telling me stuff about himself then me telling him some stuff. His parents moved away when he was about fifteen so he has been living by himself and taking care of himself. I knew what it was like, my mom left me when I was little. It bothered me for a couple years that she left but now I realize that I am better off without her in my life. Jake texted me shortly after and said that we could come over to Sam and Emily’s. Paul led me down the road to their small home. We talked all the way there. I even talked him into giving me a piggy back ride. I loved piggy back rides. He held onto my legs and spun around several times while I screamed in excitement. When we got to Sam and Emily’s I didn’t get off so Paul walked in with me on his back. “HEEEY PARTY PEOPLE!!” I yelled as we walked through the kitchen on the back deck.

“Hey!” they all greeted. Even though I didn’t want to I got off Paul’s back and made my way over to where Kim and Leah were sitting. While everything was being prepared I sat with them and talked for a while. We became pretty close. I found out that Sam and Leah used to date until Emily came to La Push then Sam dumped her for Emily. It was kind of heart breaking but at the same time they made a cute couple. When the food was done I sat with the guys and talked to them. While I was there I got to meet Seth and Leah’s mom Sue. She was really sweet, but she kinda reminded me of my mom. I offered to help Emily clean up so we could get to know each other. We talked about the wedding that she and Sam had been planning. She even asked me if I had any thoughts. I suggested having it at the beach at sunset. It was so romantic I thought. She agreed that it was romantic. While we were doing dishes I reached my hand into the soapy water to grab another dish and sliced my hand clear open on a knife. It wasn’t just a small cut, blood turned the water red and it gushed out of my hand as I pulled it out of the water.

“SHIT! OUCH!” I yelled grabbing my hand. I started jumping up and down from the pain. I started to cry.

“SAM! BILLY!” Emily yelled. She grabbed a towel and put it on my cut then applied pressure. Everybody ran into the house to see me in tears doubles over in pain holding my hand.

“What happened?” Billy asked. Paul walked in and ran over to me.

“She cut her hand on a knife. It’s pretty deep.” Emily said. She moved the towel so they could see. I screamed as the air hit it. I sunk to the floor and Paul kneeled down and held me. For a guy I just met he was super nice.

“It’s gonna need stitches. We gotta take her to Carlisle.” Sam said. Paul looked up at him and growled. ‘WTF? What’s his problem?’

“No way are you taking her there, to them.” Paul growled.

“Paul if it doesn’t get looked at it will get infected. Do you want her to stay in pain?” Sam asked.

“Of course not, but there are other doctors she can see.” He replied.

“Carlisle is the best and you know it. Plus the hospital it too far.” Sam told him. I sobbed as Emily put more pressure on it. Paul sighed and nodded his head. This was just great; I had only been here for eight hours and was already getting stitches. Paul picked me up and I held the towel to my cut. Jake drove us to where ever we were going. I saw that we drove into Forks. A few minutes later we pulled into a hidden drive way that was surrounded by trees. It winded up to a house that had glass walls. As soon as we pulled up and got out of the car there were several people standing on the front porch.

“Jacob, what happened?” One of them asked. They were all pale, beautiful, and it looked like they were holding their breath.

“She sliced her hand on a knife and it looks really deep.” Jake said as we entered the house.

“Let’s go into the kitchen and I will take a look at it.” One of them said. I put two and two together and guessed that he was Carlisle. We followed him into the kitchen and Paul sat me in a chair and backed up but I reached out for him before he could get to far away. I still had tears rolling down my cheeks but it really didn’t hurt anymore because my hand had gone numb. Paul grabbed my hand and kneeled next to me. “I’m gonna move the towel so I can look at it.” He tried to move the towel but I moved my hand back.

“It’s ok Destiny, he’s a doctor.” Paul said in my ear. I wined as I placed my hand on the table. Carlisle gently moved the towel off my hand and I gasped as the towel pulled some of my skin with it since it was stuck to my hand. I shoved my head onto Paul’s shoulder by his neck and squeezed his hand.

“Oh yeah. It’s pretty deep. I’m gonna go get my bag then I will get you all sowed up.” Carlisle said. The cold air hit it and I gasped in a sharp breath. A tear rolled down my cheek. He came back into the room seconds later with his equipment. “Ok, let’s get started shall we?” he said. He pulled out a syringe that had a long needle on it. He placed it into my hand and injected the liquid. Within seconds my entire arm up to my elbow was numb. I sighed and wiped my face on my other arm. He cleaned it then started to sow me up. I had to have a twelve inch long stitch to close it. He put some ointment on it then wrapped it up. The numbness in my arm started to go away so he gave me a prescription for the pain. While he cleaned up I took one of the pain pills. “Take one tablet for the pain when needed.” He said.

“Thank you Carlisle. Oh and by the way I’m Destiny. Jake’s cousin.” I said introducing myself.

“Nice to meet you.” He said smiling at me and shaking my other hand. I looked around and noticed that Jake was gone.

“Uh where’s Jake?” I asked Paul.

“Talking to Bella.” He said. My eyes popped open and an angry expression spread across my face. I turned around and looked for Jake.

“JAKE!!” I yelled looking for him.

“In here.” He replied for the room I was heading for. I went around the corner and saw him sitting on the floor playing with a little girl and talking to a girl with long brown hair, pale skin and gold eyes. “Hey, all better?” he asked looking up at me. I raised my hand to show him the wrap.

“Who’s this?” I asked.

“Oh this is Bella and her daughter Renesmee. This is my cousin Destiny.” Jake said. Anger washed over me as Jake said her name. This was the slut he fell for and had his heart broken over.

“So you’re Bella.” I said with hatred. Jake stood up and Paul touched my arm.

“Yes I am.” She replied.

“This is the slut you fell for?” I asked Jake.

“Des, don’t.” he said.

“Excuse me?” she asked.

“You heard me.” I said stepping forward. I was always a loving person until you hurt one of my family members and this slut was on my shit list. “You hurt my cousin, when you knew he was in love with you.” I said walking closer to her. She looked at me in shock. “You broke his heart.” I said.

“Destiny, that’s enough.” Paul and Jake said at the same time. I looked at them and noticed that I had an audience watching me.

“No, she hurt you and now she is gonna know what it feels like. I warned you that if I ever met her she would get a piece of my mind.” I said turning back to her. “When that Edward guy left you Jake was the one to pick up the pieces. He tried to help you get over him but you refused his help. Jake would have never done that to you. Instead of getting with Jake you got back with the player who left you. Jake felt the same pain you felt when that dude left you.” I said walking closer to her. She looked as if she were going to cry. A guy walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her.

“This does not concern you. It is in the past, there is no need to bring it back up.” He said.

“I take it your Edward?” I asked.

“Yes I am.” He answered.

“So you are the one who caused her pain which led to Jake being heart broken?” I asked.

“Jake who the hell is she?” he asked.

“She’s my cousin and we were leaving.” Jake said. He walked over to me and grabbed my arm. I tried to fight him off but Paul joined in by grabbing my other arm.

“Get the fuck off of me!” I yelled. They didn’t listen to a word I said. When we got to the car I got into the back seat and crossed my arms. Jake got in the driver seat and Paul in the passenger. Jake hurriedly took off down the drive way.

“Dude that was totally amazing. I thought I had a temper but she was like an atomic bomb.” Paul said.

“Yeah that was just perfect.” Jake said clearly upset.

“Sorry Jake but I warned you about what would happen. Nobody hurts my friends or family and gets away with it.” I said. We were quiet for the rest of the ride. When we got back to the house Paul headed home while Jake and I went into the house. Billy was in the living room watching a Mariners game. “Hey Uncle Billy.” I said walking in and sitting on the couch next to him.

“How’s the hand?” he asked.

“Better.” I said showing him the wrap.

“Good. How’s Bella and Renesmee?” he asked. Jake sighed and flopped down onto the couch.

“Why don’t you ask her?” he replied still upset.

“Geez what happened?” he asked.

“Nothing. I just gave Bella a piece of my mind.” I said looking at the TV. Billy looked at Jake then at me.

“She yelled at Bella.” Jake said.

“You did? What did you say?” Billy asked.

“It doesn’t matter. It was uncalled for.” Jake said standing up.

“If you ask me, she had it coming. I basically told her that she was a slut for leading Jake on like that and that she played him.” I said. Billy gave a shocked look. “Well I am tired so I think I am going to crash for the night. Night Uncle Billy.” I said standing up to give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

“Night kiddo.” He said hugging back.

“Night Jake.” I said.

“Night.” He sighed. I walked down the hall and into my room then closed the door. I changed into my pajamas and climbed in bed then fell asleep.
