Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Suze's POV
Paul said he would pick me up at seven. This still gave me a lot of time to go home, get ready, change, put on make-up, and … talk to Jesse. Which was precisely my problem. Yes the whole idea behind this fake dating plan was to make Jesse jealous, and hopefully get him to profess his undying love for me, take me in his arms and kiss me... Off topic much? Ok whatever. But the truth was, that the whole dating Paul thing? Kind of made me feel… Well guilty. And I know I totally shouldn't, I mean I have to find out if Jesse returns my feelings, because a girl can't just wait around forever. I mean I have pride after all, but maybe I shouldn't have asked Paul to do this, maybe I should have asked someone else. I mean I am not a dog; some guy would totally go for me.
So when I actually did get home, I climbed the stairs very, very slowly, while I prayed that Jesse wasn't there. To my relief, Jesse was gone- I know I wanted Jesse here right before the date, because otherwise what was the point? But right now I needed some peace and quiet. I needed to time to prepare myself for this date without the added guilt of dating anyone who wasn't Jesse.
I decided to take a very long bath, bubbles and all. I even washed my hair with the good shampoo. After my long bath that felt amazing, I decided to blow out my hair. I mean this was a date. Even if it was fake, and was with Paul Slater. But still. It counted- sort of. I even took over a half hour to do my make up, and I looked gorgeous. I wondered what I should wear… Jeans? Was this place classy? A skirt?
But in the end I decided on this totally cute black dress that was kind of tight but it looked good on me, considering quite a lot of thigh was showing. I was finally ready.
I checked my watch and it was only 6:30, which was perfect. Now I had enough time to call Jesse for a quick chat. But before I could even think his name, I felt a sudden coldness in the room and then I heard a distinct masculine voice.
"Hello Querida"
Jesse's POV
I stared at her in shock. She was wearing a tight black dress that showed quite a lot of her legs- and I could barely keep my eyes off her. Stop staring De Silvia! I shook my self mentally. Although I had no objection to her dressing like that, it certainly complimented her figure. Where is she going?
"Going somewhere Susannah?" I asked her while striding over to her bed to sit down. I looked at her waiting for a response and I saw her cheeks turn a light shade of red.
"Actually I have a date." She replied in an airy tone. Suddenly my insides clenched and I suddenly wanted to punch a hole through the wall. But I restrained my self just in time and instead of telling her that I loved her-You are dead De Silvia! DEAD! She is ALLOWED to date other people. She could never love a dead man! I sighed. I can't believe I was so stupid.
"With whom?" I asked in forced politeness. I never really thought about the possibility of Susannah dating other people. It was a selfish thought but thinking about her with another man, with a man who could provide for her like I couldn't hurt. Every time I thought about it, I felt like my insides shriveled up and died. Which was impossible considering I had died one hundred and fifty years previously, and I didn't have any insides. I should know better then to fall in love with someone as vibrant, as beautiful, as strong, as alive as Susannah.
"Paul" she said hurriedly as if she didn't want me to hear. Suddenly my hands began to shake with anger. Him? Paul? She was going on a date with that... That basterdo? (I don't know Spanish, please forgive me) He was a (mutters darkly in Spanish).
"You are going out with Paul? After what he did to you? After he tried to kill you?" I said trying to keep an even voice but my voice was on the verge of cracking with anger.
She simply shrugged her beautiful shoulders and said, "What can I say Jesse? Paul isn't so bad and he actually pays attention to me." These words shocked me, how could she think that about herself? How could she think that I didn't love her?
I opened my mouth to say the words that had been threatening to come out ever since I met her- but then I heard Susannah's Mother call up the stairs.
"Susie! Your Date is here!" she called obviously happy, and I felt another pang of jealousy. Then I watched as Susannah walked out of her room and down the stairs.
Paul's POV
"Hello Mrs. Ackerman my name is Paul Slater" I said while shaking the enthusiastic women's hand. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you". I handed over a rose I had bought for her and she positively beamed.
"Come in Paul, Susie will be right down." She said while leading me over to a chair where I sat waiting for Suze.
I can't believe I was finally going out on a date with Suze, despite the fact that this date was just for the soul purpose of making Jesse jealous, this was practically a dream come true. Suze would soon realize that I was perfect boyfriend material, and not Rico Sauvé who didn't even have the balls to tell her his true feelings.
I looked up and I saw Suze walking down the stairs in a Beautiful tight black dress that showed quite a bit of her sexy legs. I handed her the roses I bought for her and then extended my arm to her.
"Shall we?" I said while she nodded. We walked towards my car, but when we got there I realized we weren't alone.
I think this is one of the longest chapters I have ever written so at least I tried Crystalx , so anyway review!
