Chapter 3

Jesse's POV

I watched as Paul walked with Susannah towards his car, but he stopped when he saw me. I started to walk toward him, I was ready to pounce. How dare he ? How dare he? But before I could even speak Susannah ran quickly to my side and grabbed my arm.

She whispered. "Please Jesse, Don't do anything stupid- I beg you. We will talk about this later, ok?" she pleaded in my ear and I felt myself calm down a little bit. But when I saw that… that…(Spanish curse) smirking, my body tensed again. I wanted to hurt him for touching her, I wanted to hurt him for being near her, I wanted to hurt him for breathing the same air, but most of all I wanted to hurt him for being alive.

As if sensing my tension, she walked between Paul and me and put her hand on my chest to restrain me.

"Rico Suave" Paul said, nodding with a slight smirk on his face- which I was dying to punch.

"Slater" I growled menacingly.

I started to move forward again but Susannah stopped me. And I immediately relaxed under her gentle touch.

"Listen." Susannah said in a commanding voice. "You guys are going to play nice; ok? Because in this outfit-"she motioned to her dress "I can't really fight, so you guys are going to get along, got it?" she finished with such a harsh note in her voice that me and Paul both nodded simultaneously.

Then she turned to me with a slightly softer expression in her eyes that made my heart flutter. "I'll talk to you later, ok?" she said, and I felt my anger bubble to the surface again. She was going out with Paul .Paul Slater, the same man that had tried to hurt my Querida. But instead of launching myself at Paul, I simply nodded as I watched her walk towards Paul.

He put his arm around her because she was shivering, and then he opened the car door for her and before I could even say goodbye, they were gone.

Suze's POV

This was going well. Jesse seemed to have some negative feelings toward our date which was a definite plus- and he got to see me in this dress, which I must say, looked gorgeous on me. And Paul gave me roses, which was real' sweet of him considering it wasn't a date.

"Where are we going" I asked. I mean he didn't have to take me out to dinner or anything, we could just pretend.

"Sea Mist Café" he replied, his eyes still on the road.

"Paul." I said with exasperation. "This isn't a real date so you don't have to take me anywhere special. We could just go to a deli, or whatever." I mean I didn't really want to seem unappreciative; he really didn't have to do anything but make sure Jesse saw us together.

"But," Paul reasoned, "Jesse could materialize and we don't want him to realize this is a sham." Which was completely true, but I kinda feel guilty, I mean he was being really nice and I wasn't doing anything in return, except- let him kiss me in front of Jesse.

"At least let me pay." I said, but Paul just shook his head.

"I will get this one, don't worry. He said and when I started to protest he said I could get the next one, which made me feel better and realize that Paul wasn't such a bad guy.

Ok I know this is short, but I don't have a lot of time right now so… bare with me. And REVIEW!
