"I know, I know you know you're scared

Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body

They won't, they won't, they won't be careful

But I guess that you don't know me"

-Nick Jonas

She really didn't want to get out of the bed, especially when Paul looked so cute sleeping, but it was her turn to watch over Bella. His beautiful russet skin glowing in the sunlight, his messy hair all over the place, his soft snores.

"I can feel you staring at me." He mumbled.

She blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry, you're just cute when you sleep."

He playfully glared at her, "Princess, men aren't cute, we're manly or handsome."

"Okay you manly man." She mocked. He opened one of his eyes and jumped on top of her. "S-stop, I hate tickling!" She stammered as his long fingers attacked her sides.

"Say that I'm the greatest boyfriend of all time!"

She bucked her hips and in an instant, she was on top of him. "Never!"

"I like this position, we should try this next time."

"I hate you." She said as she got off him with a smile and looked around the room. "Have you seen my pants?"

He got up and helped her look for her clothes until she was fully dressed. "I'll see you later?" He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. He was complete.

"Yeah, let me know when you're done with patrol, I'll be at Sam and Emily's house."

She was at Bella's and luckily Charlie was gone to the station. TJ lounged in the bed as she watched her pale friend.

"So, what this I hear about you wanting to become a vampire?" TJ said as they sat in Bella's room. As much as Edward didn't want to let Bella out of his sight, he knew that she'd be safe with TJ around.

"Why? Are going to tell me what a horrible idea it is too?"

"Quite the opposite actually, I'm actually happy that you're doing something for yourself instead of what other people want for you."

"Thank you. Everyone thinks I'm crazy."

"It's not crazy to want to be with the one you love and doing whatever it takes."

Bella sighed out in relief, "Thanks TJ, I knew I could count on you for support."

She could tell that her pale friend wanted to tell her something else but was contemplating on how to tell her.

"I'm also getting married and he's going to turn me."

"Wow, way to drop that bomb. How are you feeling about that?"

"Great! I know want to spend the rest of my life with him."

"Eternal life huh? Well, when I get old you better make sure that you pick a good nursing home for me."

Bella laughed at her joke, she really missed her friend. It took Edward ages to get her to even start eating again when they came back from Italy and she learned the news. TJ was her best friend and she was destroyed when she found out her friends fate.

"Speaking of love, are you back with Paul?"

"Yeah." She said with a smile on her face as she thought about last night. Thinking about him was her only beacon to get her through every day back in Greece and not a moment passed where he didn't cross her mind.

"What about Greece? Edward told me that they want you to be Queen."

TJ sighed, "I know, have to go back once this is over."

"When will you be coming back?" Bella was met with silence, "You aren't coming back?"

She shook her head sadly, "I can't Bells, I'm next in line for the throne and once they crown me, I can't ever come back. I'd have people to rule."

Silence filled the air and Bella was in tears. She had just gotten her friend back and now she'd really never see her again.

"Have you told the pack?"

She shook her head, "I can't, it would break their hearts. At least when they thought I was dead, they could move on but knowing I'll be alive and not being able to return would really ruin them."

TJ couldn't even imagine the anguish that Paul would have to go through when he lost her again. The imprinting bond had gotten stronger than ever after they had sex and their feelings were amplified, if that were even possible.

"But it would probably hurt them more if you didn't tell them."

TJ buried her face in Bella's pillows with a groan, she knew Bella was completely right. Today was the day before the Volturi arrived and she was really nervous about what's to come.

"Why are you staring at me?" TJ opened her eyes and looked to the side to see Paul turned towards her, using his hand to prop his head up.

"I guess I still can't believe you're here." He used his free hand to lightly trace his finger down her face to her hip. "You're so perfect." He whispered.

He leaned over and captured her lips against his, committing her taste to memory. He squeezed her hip and pulled her to him, desperate not to let go. She pulled away for hair and he put his face in her neck.

"What's gotten into you?" She asked, not that she minded the extra affection.

"There's just so many things I want to do with you that I didn't get the chance to before." She smiled.

"We have the rest of our lives to make up for lost time."

"I love you Trinity Marks."

"I love you too Paul Lahote."

Paul leaned over and kissed her again, pouring every ounce of the passion he felt for her into the kiss and she responded just as passionately. He sat up in between in legs and looked down at her as they both tried to caught their breath. She was a breath of fresh air.

"I need you." He rasped out.

"Come get me."

And their night was filled with more sensual love making, for they didn't know what was in store for them tomorrow.
