When I woke up, I had a pounding headache and I couldn't remember how I ended up on the floor. I felt like I should be sad about something but I don't know what. I mean why should I be sad. I have a date tonight with my one true love Paul Slater. The hottest guy at my school and in Carmel.

"Susie get down here, please I have to talk to you," my mom yelled from down stairs.

"Be right down," I pulled on some clothes. For some reason I was only in my bra and pair of my pajama shorts ( it must have been hot last night). "Yeah mom what is it?"

"Well umm . . . I need talk to you about Paul," oh man . . . I know exactly where this is heading.

"Mom not now pleases!" I begged.

"Yes now, everyone is gone so we got some privacy.

"Fine Shoot!"

"Well you and Paul have been dating for three months now right?" she said I think she was a little nervous.

"3 months and two weeks!" I said excitingly.

"Yes well see teenage boys these days only want one thing aah . . . umm . . . " she stuttered.

"Sex?"

"Well yes" I think she was shocked that I even said that. "Well you guys have been dating for a while and around this time you start thinking about sex . . . if . . . you haven't had it yet?"

"Moom! No, we haven't," I said getting really annoyed.

"Well I just want you to know that I know I can't do anything about and I'm telling I really don't like the idea. But also if you do use protection." She said in a nervous tone.

"Yes Mom," I was trying to hold back the laughter I bet one of those dumb commercials gave her the idea to get my private life and think me some kind of slut. "Can I go now?"

"Ok, well I'm glad that we had this talk. The reason I wanted to have this talk is because I love you Susie," I got up from the couch and rolled my eyes.

"I love you too, Mom," I said as I gave her a quick hug. I ran upstairs to take a shower before Paul came to get me. When I walked in my room and looked over to the love seat I got sad all of sudden. Don't ask me why I just did. What is wrong with me? Right when I got out of the shower the phone was ringing and I knew exactly who it was.

"Hello?"

"Hey Suze," Paul!

"Hey Baby, what is it."

"What . . . umm," Paul was stumbling through his words.

"Paul are you ok? Do you still want to go to the beach and lunch?" I asked a little worried.

"No, I still want to go. I'm just tired." He explained.

"Oh ok, well when are you coming," I asked.

"Well I'm already. I'll pick you up in 15?"

"Yeah sure I just have to get dressed. Well bye I love you."

"I love you too Suze."

I pulled my bikini on and shorts and a tank top over it. Than put a little mouse in my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun. I looked in the mirror I didn't look great, but look decent. Paul thinks I always look Good anyway. I just think he just has bad taste. Paul got here right on time as always.

I ran downstairs right into his arms "hey Paul," and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. I pulled outside before my mom could get a little chat with Paul. I started to walk down the stairs when Paul grabbed my waist and pulled me into him, as close as he could. I began to giggle and he started kissing me. It was nice being kissed by him. He is such a great kisser. I don't know how long I we were kissing there, but then someone cleared their throat. It was sleepy giving Paul an evil glare.

"Oh sorry, come on Paul," I pulled him toward his car.

"So Suze we have been dating a long time right?" it was like he was asking me how long we've been dating.

"3 and half months. Why did you forget?"

"NO! I just was trying to get to something, but never mind," Paul said shaking his head. Was he asking about sex I seriously hope not?

"Oh ok."

When we got to the beach, Paul kept giving every guy that looked our way the death glare. He was playing the jealous boy friend part as always. But I have to admit when I noticed two girls checking Jesse oops I mean Paul (who's Jesse?) out I leaned closer to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek to make sure they new I he was taken. Paul noticed what I was doing.

"Oh I see to get a kiss I have to have girls checking me out," he said with a grin on his face then leaned in and started kissing the side of my neck.

"No, it's just I have to show everyone that I you are my man," I said with a laugh.

"Just like I've got to show everyone that your mine," he said getting up then pulling me up.

"Where we going?" I asked.

"We are at the beach so we are going swimming," he said pulling me toward the water.

"But it's freezing," I said trying to pull Paul toward the blanket.

"No," he said playfully pulling me right up to him and picking me up.

"Jesse stop," I said I caught myself right away and Paul and I stop laughing. "Im sorry Paul, I don't even know who Jesse I promise I'm not cheating on you. I don't Jesse I promise."

Paul put a finger on my to my lips to shut me up I figured. "It's ok Suze I know you're not cheating on me," he said removing his finger. I hate when I don't know how to shut-up but at least he does. He started kissing me right there. It was a little embarrassing at first, but got into it.

"Paul that's why I love you, because you trust me," I said after we broke away from the kiss.

"You know why don't we skip swimming and go to my place," he said.

"Umm . . . Ook," I said running over to the blanket to pack up everything.

On the way home it was really quiet. I hope he's not mad at me about the Jesse thing, I mean I don't even know who Jesse is.

"Im not mad at you I promise," Paul said out of no where.

"Hey were you reading my mind," I said giggling and leaning closer to him.

"Yes because I wanted to know what was wrong with you," he said raping the arm he wasn't using around me.

"Well normal boyfriends ask not read their girlfriend's minds," I said laughing.

"Hey I got it for a reason," he said looking over at me. "You know you're beautiful."

"I didn't tell you came along," I said laughing. "You know you're sexy."

"Why actually I do, "he said laughing. I gave him a playful punch.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked when we got inside his house.

"I don't know maybe this," he said moving toward me and giving me a kiss. I wrapped my hands around his neck to get more into it, but something felt wrong.

"Is your grandpa home?"

"No, he had a doctor's appointment in Palm Springs so he won't be home till late," Paul said going for my neck.

"Oh so we are alone," I said getting a little nervous. What is wrong with me I've never felt this way when im alone with Paul? Like its wrong to be with him, how can it be wrong to be alone with someone you love.

"Yeah come on," Paul started pulling me toward his room.

"Actually I thought maybe we could get something to eat," I said to take him mind off his room.

"Umm, yeah sure what you want?" he walked over to the fridge.

"Im not sure what you got?" I asked.

PAUL POV

Wow! A lot has changed, but I can't remember everything. Everything that changed, I still remember as it was. When I came back, I expected Suze to still hate me, but no she LOVES me. I knew saving Jesse life was going to work out in my favor, but Suze still remembers Jesse. Not fully of course, but she accidentally said his name. That has got to mean something. I don't think we've slept together yet, I hope we haven't. I don't want to miss something like that. Missing the moment with the woman, I love.

"How about a sandwich?" I asked her.

"Ok what kind?" god she so sexy.

"Umm . . . all we have, is turkey, is that ok?" she laughed a little.

"Yeah," she was looking at a magazine on the counter.

I brought the sandwiches over to the counter and two cokes one diet. We ate pretty much in silence, but it was nice staring at her.

"What?" she asked giggling.

"Huh?"

"Your staring at me, do I have something on my face?" she asked. Oops she noticed.

"No, it's just that I love you so much," 'in that bikini, Paul gets your head out of the gutter' I told myself.

"I love you too, baby," she said looking up at me. I gave her one of my perfect smiles.

Man I'm loving that cowboy being gone. Life is perfect!
