It had been three days since Jesse had kissed me, and he was still ignoring me. Maths had been unusually quiet, and I was dreading today's class.
Paul had stopped by Tim Hortons and surprised me with breakfast: Yogurt and berries for me, a Bagel Belt for himself. He was unbelievably cute. Plus, he was sticking to his drinking rule – He hadn't drunk anything since the day he had told me that he was giving up.
'Thankyou, Paul.' I said quietly.
'For what?' Paul asked, amusement laced in his voice.
'For everything...Just being there.' I walked over to him and sat in his lap. I was feeling a little upset today, in just a few days it'd be my dad's death anniversary.
I think Paul seemed to understand because he just sat there quietly stroking my hair. Either that, or he liked the smell of Pantene Pro-V.
I walked into Maths and sat in my usual seat. There was no sign of Jesse just yet, but there was still time.
Five minutes passed, and there was still no sign of Jesse. Why was I so bothered?
Ten minutes – class had started and Jesse still wasn't here. Oh, give it up Suze.
After the thirteenth minute – yeah, I was counting. Suck it up. – Jesse walked in. I breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over and sat down next to me. 'Hi.' He said, quietly.
'Erm...Hi.' I smiled at him. 'Where were you?'
He looked cold, distant. 'On my way here.'
'Okay...' I didn't know how to be around him anymore, wasn't he overreacting just a little? 'Are you going to Brett's party tonight?'
'No.' That was it. No explanations, just hostility. What was wrong with him? I didn't know, and I didn't like it either.
'Jesse, did I do something?' I asked him.
'Why does everything have to be about you?' I blinked at him, feeling quite hurt.
What was wrong with him? He was just like a stranger.
'Hey, Suze.' Cee beamed at me as I made my way over to our table. Adam's arm was slung around her shoulders. I smiled at the sight of them both, how cute could they get?
'Hey.' I smiled back. 'Have you seen Paul?'
Cee pointed at the dinner queue. Aww, he was getting my M&M's for me. He spotted me and smiled. I blew a kiss back.
Oh, and of course Jesse would have been walking past just as I showed my affection to Paul. And of course he would have ignored me. God, hormonal or what?
Cee walked past me, a breeze of her signature scent 'DKNY Be Delicious' floating by. She was wearing a white halter top and a red rah-rah skirt.
For some strange reason, my heart wasn't into dressing up today. However, I settled on a navy blue sleeveless dress with navy blue heels. I just left my hair all messy and applied a little eyeliner.
Cee and I walked over to Brett's – We were meeting the boys there.
But to be quite honest, I didn't even want to go. What happened if Paul didn't stick to his no-drinking promise?
Paul was laughing really loudly when I walked into the lounge. He wasn't drunk, was he?
He spotted me and jogged over. 'Hey beautiful.' He smiled at me. 'You look stunning.'
Nah, he was sober. I hugged him and kissed him, slow and deep. Things were working out just fine. Infact, I'd even go as far as to say that they were perfect.
But for how long?
Meh, I don't like my writing in this chapter. Wayyyyy off.
