Chapter 12: Close Encounter
A/N what d'ya think of the last one? Please offer ideas and stuff…would be fun!

Well, I won't be going out of this door anytime soon… Jack let out this weird shriek when he saw how close the thunder struck the entrance. Paul didn't seem to take it too well, and uh, his not taking it too well kind of gave me lots of chills up my spine… and the good kind.
NO he did not grab me and look at me with concern pouring out of his eyes and sweep me off my feet landing a big wet one on me. But he DID pick me up out of concern and ask me if I was alright, carry me to the living room and lie me down on one of those SO comfortable potato couches.
And GOD Paul Slater can feel good… not that I think that makes him a better person in ANY way! But it's always a bit of a bonus one might say…
So Paul was concerned, Jack felt guilty and Marc, Slaski's nurse came down to check what the racket was. So technically I was surrounded by one conceited hottie, a cute little mini-hottie and a professional at revival, not that I needed it… (P.S Marc is slightly cute but a bit TOO old and I'm not really into the nurse type…) (A/N nothing against male-nurses I think that they're just as competent as women-nurses)
And I think that they were going a bit in the overdramatic because seriously, it's not like the thunder EVEN touched me, it was like very faint lightning or something. But who am I to say I'm against attention from the opposite sex…except that I don't exactly consider any of those surrounding me as anything attractive. Sigh…if only Sean were here, a completely different story…
PPOV
Well, Suze sure knows how to make a guy feel guilty at yelling at her… damn; the guy who marries her is so going to land up in hell. But then she makes up for it when she kisses… Must think of something else!
Jack looks like a kid caught stealing a cookie from the jar, poor guy he doesn't know how to hide his emotions properly yet… sigh. He's got lots to learn if he wants to make it in the big world without the whole "Are you alright?" way of life… really irritating when people ask you that.
I'd better stop raving like mad and get back to life and bitter-sweet Suze Simon. There she was lying on the couch looking at us like we were retards and telling us that she "fine, fine, just peachy" to quote her. Apparently she didn't realize how close the thunder had come to hit her, ha, lighting strikes… coup de foudre, that's what the French say.
Marc thinks that she should stay here for the night, but that's going to destroy me… not literally or entirely emotionally. But still, Susannah Simon under the same roof… god has a funny way of working, that's all I can say.
SPOV
Paul is staring at me weirdly, I don't think he wants me to stay… and well, I don't want to either, so that makes two of us. I think I'll politely apologize and run away from here as fast as I can.
"Uh, hey, that's real nice, but I think I'd better go," okay, that was easy…not for long though. Jack just turned around in shock and is staring at me like I'm staking mad and started saying something some thing about not going when Paul rudely cut in.
"Jack, I'm sure Suzie here has better things to do then listen to you whine. You can always ask her out next time," and he smiled in this sickly-sweet way and fluttered his long and sexy eye-lashes at me. Not that I think they're sexy but that's what I'm told… coughliarcough.
"Yeah Jack, god knows I'd choose you over Paulie here any time. But that's not saying much seeing as he's gay and has a crush on Father Dom and all…" I smiled sweetly back at him and fluttered MY eye-lashes too. The guy is SUCH a sucker… And what is it that I hear? Is that the sweet melody of victory?
That is quickly to be shattered by the most cute puppy eyes in the world.
Jack freaking Slater, I shall destroy him!
JPOV
Suze and Paul never DO shut up. He's such a schmuck! I mean, he is clueless when it comes to Suze an HE tells ME how to woe girls? I don't believe the guy… Sure I'm gullible but at least I'm not thick unlike some people. Not naming anyone of course!
Paul is staring at Suze like she just wounded his pride but I can see that usual I'm-gonna-get-back-at-you glint in his eyes. Hell, I'd suffered from that look through out the years. You try living with someone who defies all the laws of nature for kicks. Ain't as cool as it sounds...
Suze is about to react too it seems but well, time to take out the old puppy eyes look. Ha, no one can resist that look!
See her succumb to me! (A/N MUHAHAHA! Puppy eyes, a girl's worst enemy!)
PPOV
I can't believe Jack; he's using the puppy eyes on Suze. How freaking irritating can you get? The kid only uses it during the Christmas season but here he is trying to make Suze stay. And it's not like I can use puppy eyes AGAINST him, because well, puppy eyes only work when you want to make someone do what they DON'T want to do… damn Suze for being a girl! She'll want to stay!
If Jack hadn't been around, none of this would be happening. But I got to hand it to the kid; he sure knows how to play Suze… (A/N don't get ideas Paulie you naughty boy!)
SPOV
OH GOD! Why does he do the puppy eyes? Now I'm stuck at Paul Slater's place and it's only 6:30, maybe I can pretend I'm tired and sneak into the guest room…?
