PREVIOUSLY ON SUSANNAH'S CHOICE

"Where to, Miss Simon?" Paul said.

*************************************

"How about my house? I want to take a nap, or something."

"Okay then."

And he actually drove to my house, without objection. Maybe I really did misjudge him.

"Um, do you wanna come in?" I said, I mean, he wouldn't sexually harass an upset person? That's what I thought...

"Sure," he said

So, I went inside, and said, "I'll be out in a sec, sit on the couch, or, whatever."

I went to see if Jesse was here, or if anyone was. And, of course, no one was. I was heading for the living room when the phone rang. I waited until the machine picked it up, in case it was my mom, or something, but it was only Father D. I quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello" I said

"Susannah" he said "Why on Earth aren't you at school?"

"I don't feel well, Father D. My stomach hurts, and I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

"Well, Susannah, I was hoping to talk to you today, but, I guess it will just have to wait. I hope you feel better."

"Thanks, Father... 'Bye"

After I hung up, I went back to the Living Room. Paul was sitting on the couch, watching Save the Last Dance

"Ugh, I hate this movie" I said

"Yeah, me too, but, there's nothing else on."

So we watched it, and were making fun of all the stuff they did, until we got to the part where they were in that chick's apartment, and they were making out.

I turned to Paul and said, "Oh, come on..." I couldn't finish my sentence, because he was looking at me very intently, not the movie, ME.

I started to lean towards him, and soon we were kissing

It felt so good, knowing that someone wanted me. I know Jesse wanted me, but he was gone. Paul was being so nice to me, too. Before I knew it, he and I were horizontal on the couch.

You know, there were lots of things going on. I mean, the kissing, the smell of Paul's cologne, which smelled REALLY good... I think it was Adidas Moves For Him, (A/N: I LOVE Adidas Moves!!) The game of Tonsil Hockey that was a tie...we had to keep playing until someone won.

Oh, sue me; sure he was my worst enemy, until he showed me this new side of him that was caring

Eventually, we stopped kissing, and we just snuggled for a while.

Then, when my mom came home, we pretended we were working on a project. Like, taking notes on a Discovery Channel Program. Sort of pointing stuff out to each other... She totally bought it.

Paul invited me over to his house for 'dinner' and I asked my mom if it was okay, she said it was. I also told her we had to finish that 'project' too. Pretty sneaky, huh? That's what I thought too. So, Paul and I got in his convertible, and actually did go to his house. He took me up to his room, and showed me all this shifting stuff 'as a reward' he said. And I was very happy, because Jesse was the farthest thing from my mind, thanks to Paul. I really owed him. I showed my gratitude with a few kisses. Then he took me into the kitchen, and whipped us up something to eat. And it was actually REALLY good!

"Wow, another little-known fact about Paul Slater, he can cook! I don't think I can handle much more of this."

"Much more of what, Suze?"

"All these startling little revelations. I mean, first, you show me what a caring person you can be, and then that you can cook..."

"There's lots of stuff you don't know about me" he said "But, if you hang around long enough, you can find out every single one of them." he said.

After we'd finished eating, he took me home.

It was like 8:00, but I was so tired. I said goodnight to my mom, and went up to my room, and went to bed.

~~Jesse's POV~~

HOW COULD SHE DO THAT? I was at her school, and when I saw she wasn't there, I went to her house, thinking maybe she overslept, or wasn't feeling well, or, something. But, when I saw my supposedly 'hurt' querida, making out with that... that... agujero del asno.. that hbrido... But, the thing that killed me was the fact that she was ENJOYING it! And that she had her tongue in his mouth. Well, I am going directly to Father Dominic!

"Excuse me, Father, may I have a word?"

"Of course, Jesse, come on in. I was just going through some paperwork. What's on your mind?"

"Susannah, and that hbrido... I saw them."

"Saw them, what, Jesse?"

"I believe the term for it today is, how do you say it... making out." I saw the priest visibly relax

"Oh, well, Jesse, you truly gave me a fright. I thought you mean.. Never mind. Jesse, why are you so upset?"

"I...I love her, Father"

"Well, Jesse, you didn't TELL her, did you?"

"Yes, I did, and she was very upset. That was this morning." I said

"Well, Jesse, you can't expect her to mope over you. Susannah is a strong person, she is obviously just trying to sort through..."

"FATHER!" I yelled. This was the first time I'd interrupted a priest. "You don't understand what she MEANS to me!"

"Jesse, there's no reason to yell. Why don't you just go talk to her?"

"I TRIED Father, but she's asleep! I'm sure all the 'excitement' wore her out!" Then I dematerialized.

******************************************

Hmm... not too bad... im running out of ideas, because I wanna make this really long. Right now would be a good place to introduce my plot, but, i want it to stretch out a bit longer. I'm sorry if it gets long and drawn out, but, i like to get to the point quick, as you can tell... Ok, keep up the reviewing!
