Chapter 4
Jesse's POV
What was taking so long? How long does it take to go get something to eat? It has already been an hour and a half! And Paul is not the most trustworthy guy, and Susannah is in that short dress. Stop it! I screamed in my head. Why did it hurt so much to see her with another guy, and not just Paul?
Because you love her.
But, I can't… I mean she is sixteen and alive. When did I lose my sanity? Why did I have to fall in love, why now? Why now, why … as a ghost? But Paul isn't good for her. I reasoned. He could hurt my Querida. I shook my head and started to pace her room waiting for Susannah to return. But staying here while she was out with Paul was driving me crazy; I don't know how much longer I can stand it, before I materialize in front of them.
Control yourself De Silvia. I scolded.
Suze's POV
Ok, yeah, Paul is still a conceited jerk, but he was being really sweet about the whole "Let's make Jesse jealous so he can kiss me instead of ignore me" thing. He took me out to dinner and I actually didn't hate it. But I couldn't wait until after the date. I would be able to talk to Jesse and say in a 'subtle' way that I didn't like Paul. But I couldn't just go back; I had to make him wait at least two hours. So Paul offered to drive us to the beach, so we could prolong this thing.
Paul's POV
This was pure torture. Don't get me wrong, Dating Suze is nice, but sitting here and trying to keep my hands to myself while pretended to be happy, while she is babbling about Jesse. This is driving me crazy. How much longer can I play this role of Mr. Nice Guy? How much more can I take? It is pretty damn obvious that Jesse loves her; even Father D can see it. So why is she going out with me?
We got to the beach and I parked the car and opened the door for her, trying to get her to see that I wasn't that bad- but I was really surprised when she shot me a confused smile. I had never made her smile before. Maybe she really did like me? I grinned. Excellent.
We started walking down the beach; look at the sun sinking into the clouds. It was actually really pretty. The sky was alight with so many colors. Oranges, pinks, reds, and a faint tint of purple. I looked over at Suze who was looking at the sky too. I smiled. This was a perfect moment if there was ever one, maybe I should kiss her?
I started to lean towards her, but then I saw her shiver. I signed. Why did she have to be cold? I took off my jacket and draped it around her small shoulders.
"Thanks Paul." She said.
"Your welcome." I replied somewhat mournfully since the moment of peace was gone. But maybe I should kiss her anyway, she probably forgot all about De Stupid now, right?
So I leaned in and kissed her.
This was bliss. For a few seconds she didn't stop me then she pushed me away, with her eyes ablaze with anger.
"Paul! This isn't a real date! This is to make Jesse jealous, remember?" she said while moving away from me.
"But Suze-" I said trying to interject.
"But nothing Paul." She said in a firm voice. What did she see in him anyway? I wasn't so bad was I? I am pretty handsome, well at least Prescott thinks so.
"You know you liked it." I said trying to convince Suze of her true feelings.
"I thought we went over this." Se said with anger- which I found really sexy, but when I tried to get closer to her, she just backed away. "Can we go home now?" she asked.
I nodded. There was always tomorrow to convince her.
Jesse's POV
I detected Susannah's anger, as a ghost I am very sensitive to changes in the atmosphere. And since I care a lot about Susannah I can easily detect her anger and when she is scared.
And I felt it now. She was angry at Paul.
My heart surged with hope, and before I could stop myself from going to her, I materialized right in front of her.
Suze's POV
He always had to ruin things didn't he? But before I could start on him again, I heard a very familiar voice.
"Querida"
"Jesse?"
"Cowboy?"
Heeheehee cliff hanger! If you want me to update soon, you got to review!
