I sat up the next morning in the bed of Paul's truck.
We were both fully clothed, of course. There was a mass of pillows and blankets under us. I was cuddled into Paul's side and I could feel his breathing.
I thought back to last night. There was laughter and happiness. I wanted to kiss him so bad, I remembered that. We didn't kiss although I wanted to.
We had fallen asleep, in this beautiful bed of pillows in Paul's truck, talking about Whitensnake. I remember that, too.
Why was I developing feelings for one of my best friends? Oh yeah. I think it's cause I imprinted on him.
Is he supposed to tell me?
I felt Paul stirring next to me and I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep.
"Mere, wake up," he gently rubbed his thumb across my back, his hand on my left hip.
Slowly, I opened my eyes.
He smiled at me. "Morning," he smiled and I smiled back sleepily.
"Hi," I smiled and he kissed my temple.
"You're warm," I spoke and he chuckled, his whole chest shaking as he sat up.
"Did I make it up to you?" He inquired with puppy dog eyes.
"Yes, Paul," I smiled poked his bare chest as sat up.
"I have to take you home or your dad is gunna kill me."
The drive back was more fun than the ride there. We talked about childhood stories before we reached my house quickly. Dad had left for work already and I looked at Paul.
"I had a lot of fun." I smiled at him and he squeezed my hand.
Taking a chance, a ballsy, risky chance, I kissed him. He froze and I began to pull back until his face followed mine and I smiled into the kiss. There was a knock on my window and I saw Ron and Harry stood at the door with their arms crossed.
"Oh fuck."
I unbuckled my seatbelt and shot Paul a shy grin which he returned before I opened the door.
"We'd like a moment with your friend," Ron spoke before they started talking to Paul. Edward, Hermione, Alice and Bella were all talking.
"Hi," I spoke.
"Where were you?" Edward inquired.
"I sent Bella a text. I was with Paul."
"Did you check your phone?" Bella asked and I looked.
"Why won't it turn on?" I inquired after I tried hitting it.
"You have to charge them, remember?" Alice inquired and I blushed.
"Oh. Sorry." I spoke.
"Dad didn't notice you were gone. You're lucky." Bella spoke and I nodded.
"Everyone has offered to help with the house. Neville, Luna are there and George and Ginny are coming."
"George and Ginny are coming?"
"Bill and Fleur are coming later too," Harry spoke. They must have just come back inside.
"Why didn't anyone tell me this?"
"Keep your phone charged," Alice smirked.
-----
We had been at the house for a few hours, when more people apparated into it.
"We're home!" I heard and ran to see George, Ginny, Fleur and Bill. A pregnant Fleur smiled at me and I hugged her carefully before hugging the other Weasleys.
"I missed you guys!" I spoke I set my paint covered rag on the floor. We had painted three or four of the rooms. I was in charge of my own room and the one living room. Apparently, there's two.
"You look great," I smiled at them all.
"Quite fit yourself, Mere." I laughed and Bella walked over.
"Hi," she smile. "I'm Bella."
"Meredith's sister?" Fleur's accent quipped.
Bella nodded. "Nice to meet you."
"Bella, these are Ron's older brothers, George and Bill, Fleur, Bill's wife and Ron's younger sister and the only girl, Ginny."
"Cool to meet you guys. Mere told me all about you. Congratulations," she gestured to Fleur. "I'm really happy for you."
They shared a smile. I think they'll be friends for a while.
-----
A few hours later, Paul knocked on the door. I opened it to see him holding a potted plant.
"House warming?" He inquired and I laughed.
"You never struck me as a guy to buy a potted plant," I smiled and he followed me inside.
"Guys! Paul's here!" I called and there was a chorus of hellos.
"Who's Paul?" I heard and saw Ginny staring at him.
"Is he your boyfriend?" She inquired with a smile and I blushed.
"Well, I-"
"As soon as I can get her to say yes, Little Ginger." He laughed at Ginny and my jaw dropped and she laughed.
"I like him. Keep him. Name's Ginny Weasley."
I'm glad Edward and Alice had already left. That would be awkward. They went hunting. When I convinced Edward that Bella would be safe, since she was with five wizards and witches, he left.
"Who's Paul?" Bill inquired as we walked in.
Paul set the potted plant on the granite kitchen counter. "Hi. I'm Paul Lahote."
