Paul's POV
"Just leave me be, Evie." I protest.
"But Paul-." she objects and I watch as Sophie walks away from me.
How did I mess things up so easily without knowing it?
The next day at school I try to talk to Sophie and each time she somehow escapes me, somehow.
"Will you please just talk to me?" I plead as I walk up to her in the hall and I lose her in the crowd of bodies after she ignored me.
I find her walking home after school and I run up to her and she doesn't greet me, not to my surprise.
"Soph, we need to talk." I state and she stays cold and silent, I want to hear that sweet voice of hers.
"Stop it, Paul." she protests.
"Stop what?" I question and she turns to face me.
"Stop leading me on like this, I'm fed up with all of these guys flirting with girls and making them think that they like them when in all reality they don't! I thought you were different, that maybe you genuinely liked me, but I was wrong. You're like all the others; you play with a girls feelings and make her think that she's special to you and that you are interested in her when you're not." she explains and she turns away but I walk after her and stop her.
I keep getting in front of her so her path is obstructed and she looks to me with her sad face.
"I'm not like the others, Soph." I say and she sighs and shakes her head.
"I don't believe you-." she starts but I silence her with my lips as I press them against hers in a kiss.
Her lips are rigid and still against mine for a second before she kisses me back and it's a whole new feeling kissing her. I pull away after a second to see her looking at me almost in aw, but more like in surprise and I smile.
"There's no thing with Evie, I promise you. I fancy you, not her." I say and I cradle her soft cheek while we look into the others eyes.
"I-I thought-." she begins but I put my finger to her lips.
"I'm sorry I made it seem that way love, I was just being a jerk paying attention to some pointless bird when the real prize was right in front of me all along." I allude to her and her cheeks flush while a smile spreads across her delicate face.
I lean in for another kiss and I plant a sweet kiss on her smiling lips that's just a peck and then I pull away.
"So will you erm be my girl then?" I query nervously with a smirk and she nods with a smile.
My smile grows and I pull her into my arms and kiss the top of her head. I know we don't know each other that well but I'm willing to find out everything about her; what her favorite color is, what kind of music she listens to, to memorize her soft laugh, to be able to remember what her precious voice sounds like always and all that I can learn about her. Any time won't be enough time to spend with her, I feel like I'll never get to spend enough time with her, my new girlfriend.
"How about that project of yours?" I ask while we still hug and I hear her laugh against my chest.
"It's due tomorrow." she admits after we part to look at each other and I nod.
"Wanna go do homework together?" I ask and she nods quickly.
I take her hand in mine and we finish the walk to her house to find her mum home, who said she was to go to the market quick.
"The last scene's the one that's got ya?" I ask as we sit on the couch in her living room and she digs out her copy of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
"All of 'em really, but I just need to finish the last." she confesses and I nod and cross my legs and she moves over to sit by me.
I take the book from her and flip to the last scene and I prepare to read it aloud:
"The prince: A glooming peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."
I finish and I look to see Sophie staring up at me and I flash her a smile and poke her nose which makes her laugh.
"Make any sense?" I ask as I wrap my arm around her and her head stays rested on my shoulder.
"Yeah, it helped to hear you read it and thanks for stopping to describe parts." she replies and I nod.
"Welcome." I respond and she smiles at me.
I kiss her forehead and toss the now finished story by her book bag on the floor.
"Wanna stay for dinner?" she asks with a yawn and I grin at the question.
"I don't think your dad likes me all too much." I reply and we both laugh.
"He's gonna have to now." she says with a yawn and her eyes close.
"You should meet my dad one of these times." I propose and she nods sleepily.
"Maybe I should go and let you take a nap." I say and she nods and we say goodbye to the other and I leave.
She's finally mine, I have no competition or talkative birds to worry about no longer.
The next month of our relationship went fantastic as Sophie and I get to know each other better, we learn to get along with a few disagreements here and there. I've learned loads of things about her from her personality, what bugs her and things that she does that annoy me. There's so many things that I love about her though, several things.
Sophie's POV
I couldn't be any happier than I am with Paul, having his as my boyfriend. He's sweet, affectionate, caring, smart, wise and very humorous. He can get on my nerves sometimes and every day isn't always the best day for us, but we get through it day by day.
I just got into bed when I heard a tap on my window and my eyebrows fall in confusion. I open my curtains to see Paul outside my window on my roof.
"What are you doing?" I say with a laugh after I undo the lock and push the window up.
He doesn't answer me but instead hurries to get inside and I notice his red cheeks and cherry nose and I close the window.
"Came for a visit since it's Valentines day and we haven't seen each other all day." Paul replies and he takes off his jacket and shoes to lay beside me on the bed.
"Brr, I'm cold." he whines and I laugh as we wrap our arms around the other until he warms up.
I hear a knock on the door and my mums voice asking if she can come in to say goodnight.
"Closet." I whisper to Paul and he nods and kisses me before grabbing his things and going towards the closet.
"Hi love, I'm sorry about today." my mum apologizes as she sits on the end of the bed.
"I know you wanted to see Paul today for Valentines day but you know you're grounded." she explains and I nod.
It's a stupid story really, why I'm grounded. About a week ago I came home past my curfew from being at Paul's house and my parents exaggerated the whole thing and grounded me for two weeks. Even on this day, they wouldn't let me see my boyfriend, which I think is rubbish and unreasonable. They sometimes act like I'm a horrible child who gets bad grades and who is on drugs and sleeping around, and I'm the total opposite. I'm going to be 16 at the end of the month anyways, I wish they'd stop treating me like a child.
"You can always see him Monday at school." my mum goes on, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I again nod as my arms are crossed over my chest and both of our eyes flit to my closet when we hear something drop. Paul better not break our cover. I smile to myself at Paul's clumsiness and my mom gives me a smile before leaving.
"You're so lucky my mum didn't think anymore about that, she probably just thought something fell of a shelf." I say as Paul exits the closet and jumps on my bed with a laugh.
"Yeah, but I couldn't resist sneaking over to visit my girl on Valentines Day." Paul says and I smile and he kisses me.
AN: Reviews please?
