Author's Note: School has been so stressful for me lately, but I still manage to find a way to update this story as soon as possible. Since I live in Puerto Rico, the school I attend is pretty easier compared to the schools in the states. In case you guys didn't know, I am a freshman in High School, and I am currently fourteen years old. :D luckily, High School isn't that hard for me, it's pretty easy, but of course I have to study lots.

So, here's chapter 10 and I must confess that this story will continue to go through ups and downs. I love writing suspense. :D

I have gotten quite a few ideas from my lovely reviewers and I plan on adding some of your ideas into my story, one way or another, it depends on how it turns out. ;D Don't worry, I have some plans up my sleeve, so sit tight!

Dawn placed her fork down as soon as she finished eating. She narrowed her eyes at her mother across the table, smiling. "The lasagna was delicious,"

Johanna smiled in satisfaction, pulling her seat back as she rose from her seat. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," she said, grabbing her daughters' plate in hand along with hers before entering the kitchen.

Dawn pushed her seat back before getting up. She stretched her arms over her head, sighing lightly from underneath her breath. "Mom, I'm gonna go shower, okay?" she called.

"Okay!" Johanna responded through the kitchen.

The blunette ran a hand through her blue locks before walking down the hall. When she came upon her room, she entered it before closing the door behind her. She smiled as her old scent of this room crashed onto her face immediately.

"Ah, memories," she mumbled, smiling.

Sirens were echoing loudly across the wind. Paul found himself becoming frustrated as he continued speeding illegally. Police cars were after him and he believed it was all Giselle's fault. She probably told the police that there's a murderer on the loose and they are after him. He was already pissed off as it was. He didn't want to be dealing with a bunch of police cars chasing after him now.

He narrowed his eyes at the rearview mirror, realizing the police cars were right on his tail. He cursed from underneath his breath, pressing his foot harder on the bundle, increasing the speed level over 100. Obviously, this was turning fast and furious.

"Fuck," he cursed, doing a quick U-turn as he drove passed a sign which was engraved with the words: Twinleaf Town. He didn't even realize he entered this part of Sinnoh though. He just wanted to get out of this situation as quick as possible.

The blunette climbed out of the shower after getting most of the drenched water out of her thick hair. She grabbed her blue towel which was settled upon the sink. She dried her body and hair for a few seconds before wrapping the towel around her naked figure. As she made her way out of the bathroom, she searched through her dresser and found a nice dress pajama. The pajama was hot pink and it had a bunch of Misdreavus printed on it.

She dropped her towel on the floor and quickly got her panties and bra on. A loud noise echoed from the outside which made her freeze in place. She narrowed her eyes at her bedroom window after a moment, raising an eyebrow. She saw nothing behind the window except for trees.

A sigh escaped her lips suddenly, Maybe I'm just hearing things, she assumed.

Paul groaned as soon as he landed on the hard grass, placing his palm upon his head which was currently throbbing. How the hell did he even end up into this mess? First he was being chased by a bunch of police cars, now he's basically trespassing through someone's yard. Why was his world already turning up-side-down? This is all Giselle's fault, he spoke defiantly through his thick skull. The moonlight was shinning above him, clearly showing the appearance of the house in front of his eyes.

He pursed his eyebrows together, wondering exactly whose yard he trespassed into. Hopefully, the yard lights wouldn't turn on so he wouldn't be screwed. Sighing, he got up on his feet, brushing off the grass that decided to plaster upon his clothing. His eyes narrowed at the nearest window which currently had a light shining through it.

Curious to know who was staying in the house, he took slow, quiet steps over to the window. The breeze was hitting against his lavender locks as he took each step. When he finally reached the window, he got down on his knees and took a peek through the window. He saw nothing but furniture along with portraits along the walls. When he saw black leather couches, he guessed this part of the house must have been the living room. Sighing, he got up on his feet once more before looking for another window with a light on.

Turns out, there wasn't anyone in the living room, which made him wonder if anyone was inside the house anyway.

A low rhythm collided into the air after a moment of silence. Raising his eyebrows, he turned sharply in place, wondering where exactly this noise was coming from. It almost sounded like music. As if someone was blasting their stereo a little too loud.

Paul took slow steps forward towards this certain noise as the music started to increase second by second. Obviously, he was moving in the right direction since the music is starting to increase. When he spotted a window only centimeters away, a shadow of a human figure was visible upon the grass. Paul furrowed his eyebrows together, wondering who exactly this person might be.

He got down on his knees slowly, hoping to not make any unnecessary noises for whoever it was in that room to catch him. He wasn't even planning on trespassing through anyone's yard anyway. He only trespassed because the police was literally on his ass, chasing him down from every direction he turned. It was really frustrating.

Paul lifted his head up slightly to get a good view of who exactly was in the room. He noticed a nice female looking figure which was half naked. She was only dressed in a black lace bra and panties. His heart nearly dropped when his eyes landed on that familiar looking shade of blue hair. It was Dawn.

He watched as she combed her blue locks with a brush while she had her eyes on the mirror of her dresser. Her lips were pursed together as she brushed down any knot entangled into her hair.

Paul watched as the girl he sincerely liked did this, but he found himself unable to take his eyes off of her body. Thoughts filled through his head as he stared at her perfect curves. Yes, he has seen her in a bra and panties, considering that one night they had sex…

But, he's never gotten the chance to stare at her nice curves until now. Of course, he would consider himself as a pervert right at this moment. He just couldn't bear to tear his eyes off of her! She was just so attractive in his eyes that it's driving him crazy. Her personality makes her even more attractive, and he couldn't deny that.

The blunette grabbed her Misdreavus pajama, which was currently lying down on her bed, and placed it over her body. The dress fell down to her knees and she smiled in satisfaction. She returned her eyes onto the mirror before brushing her bangs to the front. She neatly combed her hair into a high ponytail before placing the brush back down on her dresser. Her smile soon fell into a firm line as she placed her hands on her hips. Sighing, she plopped down onto her bed and grabbed her phone in hand. She flipped her phone open and searched through her contacts until it reach Paul's.

She figured she would call him just to see what he's up to, plus she promised she would call him anyway. She placed her palm on her radio and turned down the music in order to hear Paul on the other line. She clicked the call button before placing the phone against her ear. Paul raised an eyebrow, wondering who exactly the girl is call –

RIIIIIING!

Paul dropped down onto the ground completely, hearing the sound of his phone ring loudly through his pants. "Shit," he hissed, quickly grabbing his phone from his jean pocket. He forgot to put his phone on silent! So probably she had heard his phone ring!

Dawn's eyes immediately turned to her window as she heard a phone ring from behind them. Her wind blinds were up, so all she could entirely see is the darkness and the bushes in the yard. She raised her eyebrows, placing her feet down on the floor as she got up on her feet.

Paul, however, quickly answered the phone and placed it against his ear.

Dawn heard heavy breathing from the other line along with ruffles. She raised her eyebrows before muttering, "Paul?"

It stayed silent for a while on the other line and Dawn wondered if the phone call disconnected or maybe he's just playing around with her.

"Hey," he grumbled after a moment of silence.

Dawn sighed in relief, but pursed her eyebrows together when she realized a sudden change in his voice. "Hey… are you okay?" she questioned, biting her lower lip.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said; his voice returning to normal again.

"What were you doing? You took a while to answer me," She said lowly, keeping her eyes on the window.

"Oh, that was uh… nothing." He scoffed, turning his eyes towards the window as he rested his back against the hard bricks on the side of the window. He tried his best to keep his voice as low as possible so he wouldn't get caught.

Dawn, however, took slow steps towards the window, paying close attention to what was outside. She heard a phone ringing and then it suddenly stopped at the same exact time Paul picked up his phone. This was sort of suspicious to her.

"Are you sure…?" she questioned lowly as she continued to walk over to her window. When she finally reached the window, she pushed away her light blue see through curtains and took a glance at what exactly was outside.

Paul pressed his back against the bricks deeper when he noticed the blunette glancing out the window. He decided to stay quiet for a while before the blunette finally came to the conclusion that no one was out there. Or so she thought.

Dawn sighed, running a hand through her bangs. "Can you answer me?" she pleaded after the silence broke through.

"Sorry," he said very slowly.

For some reason, all Dawn could feel right now was anger for the lavender haired teen. It's not that he's not answering her question or anything; he just kept acting strange which was starting to tick her off.

"Whatever," Dawn snapped, tearing her eyes off of the window for a moment.

Paul sighed, narrowing his eyes at the window to see the girl he sincerely liked have not such a pleasing expression on her face. He wasn't trying to make her upset, he just didn't want to get caught trespassing through her yard.

"I don't mean to upset you, okay?" he breathed.

Dawn sighed, finally turning around as her back faced the window this time. "You're just acting very strange and it's kinda annoying."

"I know," he sighed, watching the blunette's back steadily. Just as he saw her turn around sharply, he ducked down quickly.

"So…" the blunette started, remaining silent for a few seconds before beginning to speak once more.

"I'm really, really happy because I get to stay here with my mom for a few days and spend more time with her," she exclaimed excitedly, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. She placed her elbows against the rim of her window as she placed the tips of her fingers against her lips. She stared up at the moon settled upon the dark blue sky, admiring it.

Paul, however, gulped slightly when he realized that she was very close to him and could possibly catch him immediately. He didn't even want to talk because then she would hear him and equally spot him.

He had two choices. It was either talk and get caught or not to talk and have her get upset once again. Either way, it was still a bad outcome.

"Paul?" the blunette spoke after a moment of silence.

Sighing, Paul took a risk and rose up immediately, bringing his head inside her window which caused her to flinch momentarily as a low scream escaped her lips. Paul rested his palms on the rim of her window and smiled at the girl he sincerely liked.

She took a step back, placing her palm beneath her chest. Her heart was racing and her eyes were wide. Paul smirked, pressing end call on his phone before closing it and placing it back inside his jean pocket.

"Did I scare you?" that playful smirk remained on his face.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed, furrowing her eyebrows together.

Paul sighed, "It's a long story," he duck his head down before climbing inside her window, standing up straight. Dawn placed her phone on the comforter of her bed, keeping her eyes on the lavender haired teen that decided to pop up into her bedroom randomly. He still had that mask on his face, and this of course, wasn't surprising to her.

"You need to leave right now before my mother see's you!" she hissed lowly.

Paul shrugged, not really caring. He brushed passed the girl and made his way over to the room door. He placed his fingers on the lock and twisted it 90 degrees before that click sound circulated around the room, signaling it's locked.

Startled, Dawn crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at him. "And that explains why you were acting so strange only moments ago." She confirmed.

He turned to her and smiled slightly. "Hey, I didn't mean to trespass through your yard, I was just trying to escape from this situation I was in."

"And what situation might that be?" Dawn questioned, sitting down on her bed, placing her arms down to her sides.

"It doesn't matter," he shrugged, slowly making his way over to the blunette settled upon her bed.

"Wow, just make up an excuse to watch after me, how lovely." The blunette exclaimed sarcastically. "Stalker status much?"

Chuckling, he stared down at the blue haired girl. "Relax Berlitz; I'm not stalking you," he stated, shoving his hands deep inside the pockets of his leather black jacket. "Besides, I didn't even know this was your house."

"Well, now you do." Dawn confirmed, smiling widely at him. For some reason, she felt the need to be upset with him for even trespassing through her yard for whatever reason, but then again she didn't want to get that way with him. She was actually happy that he was here at her house, which was very surprising.

It still confused her how he denied that he was not stalking her. How did he even show up at her house if he wasn't following her footsteps? Sure, he said it was because of a situation he was in, but what was that situation? This was all so confusing to her. Either way, she was still happy he was here.

Paul took a seat beside her and sighed heavily. He narrowed his eyes in each direction of her room, studying what her interests are. Her room walls were covered with posters of all sorts of Pokémon, along with a portrait of her modeling. Paul smirked, taking a huge liking of that portrait of her.

After a moment of taking in every detail of her room, he returned his eyes on her. "You model?"

"If you put it that way, then yes… I used to be in those Beauty Pageants and I only won like once." She chuckled lightly, turning her body to face him.

"Oh, so you used to compete in Beauty Pageants? Hot." Paul smirked, settling his hand on the comforter, next to her legs.

Dawn blushed lightly, looking down at her Misdreavus pajama dress shyly. "Shut up," she smiled, shrugging. "I wasn't all that good in them, anyway."

"Obviously, you're lying." He denied her statement, smiling slightly.

Dawn shook her head. "You weren't there, so you have no say in this." She confessed, giggling lightly. After a while it got silent, Paul stared at her face for a long moment. The blunette suddenly felt uncomfortable with the silence that overwhelmed them. She stared back at him silently, staring at that mask settled on his face. Boy was that damn mask getting on her last nerves.

"You know… I never regretted that night." He said lowly.

Dawn blinked, taken to a complete U-turn. She stared at him in disbelief for a moment, knowing exactly what he meant by those words. He was referring to the night they had sex… the night where the unexpected happened between the two teens.

No words could even form upon her mouth, not even a sound left her system. She just continued to stare at him with a shocked expression plastered across her face. She was speechless.

"There's obviously something going on between us and I was stupid enough to not realize that before." He continued, breaking the silence that overwhelmed them once again. "I considered it as a one night stand because… it was an emotional night for you, and I didn't know what else to do." He grabbed her palms in his, rubbing them gently as he continued discussing what he needed to discuss. "Honestly, I didn't expect us to have sex, like at all. I went up to you and kissed you passionately because I saw you were hurt."

"So you only did that stuff just to make me feel better?" she looked hurt by those words that escaped from his mouth. She pulled her hands away from his, turning away.

Paul sighed, regretting those words immediately. "No, I didn't mean –" he sighed once more, groaning. "Dawn," he paused, waiting for her to return her eyes back on him.

Dawn, however, avoided eye contact with him, leaving her eyes on her bed sheets.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

Finally, the blunette narrowed her eyes on him. "Do you really mean it?"

"Yes," he confirmed.

The blunette turned her eyes to him hopelessly, staring at him for a long while. She brought her palm up to his mask and rested the tips of her fingers on the cold surface. She could see that fine scar settled on his eyelid, but it looked like it was close to healing.

Temporarily, she slowly pulled the mask off of his face. Without hesitation, he just stared at the girl for a long moment, not having to retrieve his mask back from her. Dawn examined his face for a few seconds, checking if his scars got worse or they're beginning to heal. His face did look like it was healing, but the scars were still very noticeable on his face.

Dawn placed her palm against his cheek and felt that coldness rise upon her hand. His cheek was freezing cold. She guessed it was due to the weather outside, since it was almost like 60 degrees out.

Paul remained silent with his eyes still lingering on hers. He couldn't bear to take his eyes off of her. She was just so beautiful that he couldn't even find any flaws on this girl.

The girl stared into his onyx black eyes for a moment. He noticed her face beginning to inch closer to his face and he found himself unable to pull back. Their lips were dangerously close and Dawn returned her eyes back on his, which were currently on his lips. She closed her eyes shut immediately and pressed her lips against his. Surprisingly, he returned the kiss slowly, cherishing this moment.

The blunette shifted up slightly as she moved her lips over his endlessly, resting her hands against his chest. She slowly nudged him through his chest, pushing him down slowly. Their lips were still attached, but the blunette managed to hover over the boy wearing all black. Paul rested his hands on each side of her waist, letting her devour his mouth.

So many sexual thoughts were filling through his head that he wanted to devour her entirely.

It was a little too difficult for him to get these thoughts out of his head, considering the girl was on top of him, pulling on his shirt. He just managed to leave his hands only on her waist, not anywhere else. He didn't want his hands to get too excited.

As the girl continued to make out with the boy wearing all black, a low moan escaped from her lips. This, of course made Paul go crazy on the inside. He can feel a boner coming up pretty soon and he wasn't planning on having Dawn notice this. Hell, why does this girl have to turn him on right now? It was driving him insane.

The blunette pulled his shirt up slightly, removing her lips from his in order to get his shirt off. Paul stared at the girl and she smiled. She pulled his shirt over his head before pulling it off.

"Dawn?" a voice called from outside of her room. Dawn's eyes widened slightly along with her jaw dropping. She quickly moved off of the lavender haired teen and got back on her feet. She turned to him.

"You have to hide," she hissed after he sat up on the bed.

"Shit," he cursed, getting up as he grabbed his shirt from her hands, pulling it back on him.

"Dawn?" the voice repeated, but this time it was a little louder which only meant that her mother was on her way up to her room.

The blunette scanned her room for a moment, trying to find a place for Paul to hide. When her eyes landed on her closet door, she believed that is the best place to hide him. Well, for now.

"Closet," she said quickly, pushing him by the back as she dragged him over to the closet. She opened her closet door and pushed her thick clothes to the side which was taking up too much space.

"Dawn?"

"Go in!" Dawn hissed, pushing him into the closet by his bare chest. A blush was noticeable on her cheeks as she did this.

Paul smirked, however. "Feisty much?"

"Shut up," she hissed, closing the door shut before resting her back against the door. A low sigh escaped her lips as her bangs fell messily upon her forehead.

"Dawn?" her mother called once more, but this time she was knocking on her room door which only made Dawn flinch in surprise.

She quickly pushed herself off of her closet door and jogged over to her room door before opening it.

Johanna raised her eyebrows at her daughter as soon as she opened the door. "Everything okay?"

The blunette was silent then quickly replied, "Yes, everything's fine." She smiled tremblingly.

"Are you sure? I thought I heard a loud noise coming from your room." Johanna confessed.

Dawn shook her head, "No, I was just listening to my radio and it had dropped and all, but there's no need to worry! The radio isn't broken and I put it back up on my dresser." She nodded.

Johanna crossed her arms then took a glance over her shoulder at her room as if she believed otherwise. She then returned her eyes back on her daughter. "Okay, fine. It's getting late and it's almost midnight. I would like you to be in bed by then."

"Sure," Dawn smiled, kissing her mother's cheek quickly before retreating. "Goodnight, mom, and thanks again for the dinner. It was delicious."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it and goodnight." Johanna smiled then turned sharply as she headed down the hall.

Dawn sighed in relief, pushing herself back into her room and closed the door shut tightly. She turned her eyes to her closet door and made her way over to it, opening it slowly. Paul stared at the girl with a bored expression on his face.

"Can I get out now?"

Dawn rolled her eyes and stepped aside. He smirked then made his way out of the closet door. She closed the door behind him then turned to him slightly.

"You really have to go."

"What if I don't want to?" Paul questioned, smiling.

Dawn crossed her arms beneath her chest. "Or I will slap you to the next universe."

Paul chuckled, stealing a quick kiss from the blunette which was taken by surprise. He brushed passed the girl, making his way over to her window.

"So, what does this make us?" the girl questioned, which was currently staring at him in surprise.

Paul stopped in his tracks for a moment. "I don't know… you tell me."

Silence filled the room for a moment.

Dawn stared at the back of his lavender head, raising her eyebrows at him.

He turned his head slightly to her, a smirk playing on his lips.

By this, the blunette already knew the answer to her question.

Author's Note: Dun dun dunnnnn. What was the answer to her question, hmm? Are Paul and Dawn now a couple? Or? (;

Review pretty please! It makes me happy to get reviews. (:
