Chapter Twenty Nine
The pack left late that night and Paul carried me upstairs to bed as he knew I was too tired to walk up the stairs.
'I like Willow' I told Paul sleepily.
'I like her too Kitty' he replied, kissing my forehead as he slipped in to bed next to me.
'I texted Quil and asked him to bring her over again tomorrow'
'I'm glad you have a new friend Kitty. Quil will be happy his sister is being included'
-------——---——————----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I met Willow by the front door the next morning with a huge hug and dragged her up to my room leaving Quil still stood in the doorway watching us go. I had to kick Paul out of bed but it was worth it to spend more time with Willow and get to know her a little bit more.
'Don't look so worried Willow, I didn't invite you over to ritually sacrifice you! I just thought it might be nice for us to hang out more so Quil isn't the only person you know' I told her with a small laugh.
'Thanks, Quil is good and all but I don't really know anyone else. Embry and Jacob have changed so much since I saw them last, I don't feel like I know them anymore'
'They're good kids. I think they've changed for the better in the short time that I've known them anyway'
We spent the morning in my room, talking and getting to know each other. I told her about the first time I met Paul and how he proposed to me. Willow told me about the first time she met Jacob and Embry when they were all about 6 years old.
'Can I ask you something else?' She asked hesitantly.
'Sure, ask away'
'Do your parents not hate how you're engaged to Paul so young and so soon after meeting him? Like I'm not judging, I think it is adorable, I just don't think my mum would be too happy if I was in your position'
'I don't know my dad. He hasn't ever been in my life and I don't get on with my mum. Sam is actually my legal guardian, that's why I live with him and he's okay with it. Paul asked him and everything.' I explained, 'As for the age thing who cares right? I know that Paul is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.'
'That's pretty cute. I hope I find that one day. Willow admitted.
'Maybe you will with Embry?' I teased.
'That's not going to happen' she denied.
'I'm going to make it my new mission to get the two of you together' I promised her.
Emily shouted us both downstairs so we ran down to the kitchen. I sat on Pauls lap and attacked him with kisses.
'Ew, can you please stop the puke fest?' Jacob asked as he came and joined us.
'No I can't' I replied.
'You're just jealous Black' Paul added, 'you can always leave if you don't like it. Not like you live here'
'Neither do you Lahote' Jake retaliated.
'No but Kitty does which means I do by default'
'Okay, lets not argue' Emily said quickly, 'here, eat'
She placed some sandwiches on the table in front of us which made the guys stop arguing as they stuffed their faces.
'Are you girls joining us for cliff diving this afternoon?' Paul asked.
'Definitely' I agreed immediately.
'What's cliff diving?' Willow asked.
'Remember the cliffs at the beach yesterday? Well basically we climb to the top and throw ourselves off the top. Only Leah and I go out of us girls so don't worry if you don't wanna go' I explain to her.
'No I'll go, I might not jump but I'll give it a go' she said determinedly.
Quil and Embry came and joined us and headed straight for the food. Quil ruffled Willows hair and then the pair started play fighting with each other.
'Stop it!' Emily tried to control them.
'You sound like our mum' Quil laughed.
'Emily is going to make a good mum' I told Willow 'She looks after all of us'
'Imagine Sams reaction if Paul and Katie have kids! He's going to be so funny' Quil laughed.
'Katie is not having kids!' Sam announced as he finally joined us as well.
'You literally can't stop me Sam. You know I want kids!' I protest 'Plus, kids that are part me and part Paul are going to look so damn cute!'
'That's terrifying to imagine' Jake muttered.
I quickly changed the topic as I saw Paul was going to snap at Jake and I didn't want another argument between them. So I announced that Willow was going to come cliff diving with us. Quil looked slightly horrified but everyone else seemed happy she was going to give it a go. The guys decided we had to wait for Leah and the others to join us before heading to the beach so I dragged Willow back upstairs so I could grab my beach stuff and then we could head to hers.
I quickly grabbed all of my stuff and then Willow and I drove to hers. I sat talking to Old Quil whilst she got her things together. Old Quil was excited to see how quickly Willow was fitting in with the pack.
'Katie said you might be cliff jumping today Willow' Old Quil said when she came downstairs 'Good luck keeping up with those crazy boys!'
We said goodbye to Old Quil and then headed to the beach to meet everyone. I reassured Willow that it was okay if she didn't want to jump and that no one would be bothered if she backed out.
'I need to jump at least once to prove to myself I can do it' she insisted.
We arrived at the beach, left our things in a pile on the beach with the others and stripped down to our swimsuits. Our stuff would be fine on the beach as we climbed the cliffs and jumped. Barely anyone came down to this part of the beach. Leah dragged me with her to the front of the pack so we could lead the way. I noticed Embry was talking to Willow as we walked. I was very excited for Willow to find out about the pack once Embry found the courage to tell her.
But now I was ready to cliff jump!
I waited with Leah at the top of the cliff for the rest of the pack to join us as I wanted to jump with Paul.
'You still want to jump together Kitty?' Paul asked once he had joined us.
'Yes, I do' I confirmed, giving him a quick kiss.
'Okay love birds. Why don't you jump first?' Sam asked us.
'Yeah! Willow, make sure you jump after us!' I told her.
'I will'
Embry leaned over and whispered something in her ear which made her blush and giggle.
Paul grabbed my hand and we slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff. I could feel butterflies in my stomach as we got closer to jumping. I looked at Paul with a nervous smile and squeezed his hand tightly before we both took a small step backwards then ran and jumped off the cliff.
We splashed in to the water and quickly swam to shore once we had surfaced so the others could jump as well. I wrapped my legs around Paul's waist and he carried me back to where we had left our things and carefully placed me down on the pile of blankets we had laid out. I pulled him down with me so he was hovering above me.
'Really Kitty, here?' He asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
'Geez Paul, no, we're not having sex here on the beach when any of the pack could join us at any minute' I laughed 'I just wanted a kiss'
Paul joined in with my laughter as he leaned down to kiss me. It was a much harder kiss than I thought it was gonna be but I happily sank into it until we got interrupted.
'You guys are gross!' Quil heckled us as he made his way towards us with Embry and Willow in tow.
I rolled out from under Paul and sat back so they could come and sit with us.
'How was your first jump Willow?' Paul asked her.
'It was terrifying!' She replied 'Seth and Leah threatened to push me in and I was so scared they would that I jumped soon after Quil did'
'Yeah, I should have warned you about those two' I apologised.
'At least it meant I didn't chicken out'
'Are you going to jump again?' Quil asked his twin.
'No, once was enough for me'
'I'll stay with you Willow. I don't want to jump again. I wanna nap' I offered.
Paul looked at me concerned when I said I wanted to nap but didn't say anything else as the pack were slowly joining us after their jumps. The boys and Leah went back for another couple of jumps whilst Willow and I stayed with everyones things. I knew they would be jumping for a while so I curled up and had a little nap whilst Willow read a book she had found in my car.
I was woken up slightly when someone moved me from the blankets.
'Come on, we're heading home. Do you want me to drive?' A voice asked me but I wasn't awake enough to place who it was.
I nodded slightly in response to their question before slowly falling back asleep. I must have been carried to the car and in to the house as when I woke up I was in my bed at home. I wrapped myself in my blanket and made my way downstairs where Sam, Emily, and Paul were sat watching TV.
'Hey sleeping beauty, how you feeling?' Paul asked me.
'Sleepy' I replied, yawning. I curled up next to him on the sofa. 'How's Willow?'
'She was worried when you didn't wake up but we told her you sleep pretty deeply. Maybe text her and let her know you're okay?' Sam suggested. 'She seems to be fitting in with the pack well. Embry just needs to tell her about us'
'I think she'll be fine. Kim was and she was as quiet as Willow is.' Emily added.
