Paul and I were walking in silence, when he put his arm around my waist. It was sweet… but I mean it was Paul. He never does anything without having an ulterior motive… or at least that's how he used to be, but like I said, he looked like he was in love, or something like it when he looked at me. Wow… that's a movie. Small minds are easily amused. Anyways, I wasn't exactly shrugging his arm off, when the voice was broadcasted through the house again.
"You have not brought the person to me! I am losing patience with you! I mean come on… you guys need to hurry it up! Isn't it like obvious where I am? We're not playing a game of hide and go seek here… or are we? If you don't find me soon… I'm gonna like have to come find you. Hopefully I'll scare the pants off you!" Was it just me, or did this ghost sound gay? Just wondering… not that I'm homophobic or anything… there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay… I just needed to know the details on this ghost.
"It sounds like the ghost is downstairs," I told Paul. He pulled me a little closer.
"No ghost is getting inside your pants before I do, okay Suze?" Paul said to me, kind of jokingly, but I could hear an undertone of seriousness in his voice.
"Nobody's getting in my pants yet Paul, okay?"
"Fine, but there are some very comfortable looking beds up here we could just, well you know-" Paul started whispering with a smirk on his face.
"No! Now shut up or you won't be getting any," I told him in a laughing whisper.
"Fine, just like you," Paul said. He was acting differently, kind of like Adam, but I liked the way I suited him. If only he could have been this way when we were in high school, then maybe Jesse wouldn't have hurt me so much. I sighed. "What is it Suze?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking about the old days."
"Oh yeah," Paul said stepping in closer. God why did he do this to me? My heart was thumping and my head was reeling. I wanted him so badly, but I couldn't have him. I couldn't want him, not now, not like this. God, I really must be listening to Sarah too much with the whole Wicked thing. It's like the lyrics from that song "Defying Gravity." Wow, theater geek much… I finally became cultured when I came here to France! YES!
"Yeah, and how we've all changed. Now come on, let's go," I said forcefully, shrugging his arm off me. We started walking down the stairs in silence.
"Look, Suze, um, never mind," Paul mumbled.
"No what?" I asked wanting to know what he was going to say.
"There's Rico Suave, let's go see what they've found." Now Paul was acting just plain weird. He hated Jesse… it's like the Grinch "I wouldn't touch him with a 99 and a half foot pole." Andthat's probably understating it.
"No," I said, pulling him into a passionate kiss. I was becoming more and more like Paul the more time I spent with him!
"Suze," Paul groaned, "we have to find the ghost like you said."
"But, Paul-" I said as he shrugged me off.
"No buts… we can't, not here, not now."
"Fine," I said feeling insulted. I mean I'm no Kelly Prescott, but I'm not ugly either. Plus, he was the one kissing me earlier. Men, they're so confusing.
"Hello Paul... Susannah," Jesse nodded at us.
"Have you found anything yet?" I asked, directing my question at Sarah.
"No not yet," Jesse answered staring strangely at Paul. No! My suspicions are coming true. I mean, I know Paul is probably hot enough to make a straight guy want to be gay… but I never thought it would happen. Ew… Paul and Jesse… maybe that's why Paul didn't want to kiss me, he was having an affair with Jesse. No, there is no way somebody who kissed me like he had earlier was gay. Maybe Paul was just trying to respect me, okay. Let's settle down here Suze, he's trying to respect you. What the hell am I thinking? It's Paul effing Slater! Maybe he's changed. Yeah let's go with that, he's changed.
"Okay, well, then I say we go as a group then, because we know he's down here. Suze and I checked the upstairs perfectly, and I don't trust that DeSilva checked thoroughly enough down here," Paul said, and then he kissed me again, slipping his arms around my waist. Jesse looked like he was about ready to pop a blood vessel. Ha take that DeSissy! Sarah looked at me with kind of a worried look on her face, but I reassured her everything was fine. I kissed Paul on the cheek (I know aw how sweet? KODAK MOMENT!) and whispered in his ear, "Hey, I'm gonna walk with Sarah right now okay?"
"Okay," he whispered back, "but don't leave me too long with Rico over here. I think he may have a thing for me." Oh my God! I wasn't crazy! Paul saw it too. Now all I had to do was check with Sarah, I mean Sarah's gorgeous and if Jesse hadn't tried to hit on her… yeah he was pretty much gay. So I went back to Sarah and started talking to her when I heard Jesse scream.
