Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Paul's POV (for a change of pace)

When I woke up the next morning I was annoyed that the date hadn't gone as planned. I managed to basically scare Suze off just by kissing her, although it was entertaining to watch Jesse get mad over nothing…. I can't believe that Jesse actually has the balls to call her "Querida" to her face. I know Suze doesn't take Spanish, but what if she decided to look it up?

This situation was really messed up, there were two people in love but they were too blind to see it and another guy, who was stuck in the middle. Hopefully Suze doesn't figure it out, because frankly, I like this arrangement- and I don't want it to change. But considering last night, I am not so sure that Suze wants to continue. But she did kiss me on the cheek, but that was probably just to make Jesse jealous.

So I was really surprised when Suze called me and asked for a ride to school. So as soon as I got off the phone, I got dressed quickly and got ready for school. I hopped in my car and headed to Suze's house, and I was there in a matter of minutes.

She was waiting outside, looking as hot as ever with a black mini skirt on and a green tank top that matched her eyes.

She walked towards my car and hoped in, "Thanks Paul." She said breezily. Then she buckled her seat belt and we were off.

For a while both of us were silent, but then Suze broke it by saying how sorry she was that the date was a failure. She said that she hoped that the plan would still continue.

I just nodded, surprised that she was even speaking to me, last time I put the moves on her, she got really, really mad. But considering that I was doing her a huge favor, getting mad at me wouldn't be the best idea.

"So, could I ask you a favor Paul?" Suze asked sounding nervous. I nodded while keeping my eyes on the road.

Her tone suddenly became more business-like and direct. "Ok Paul, we need to pick it up a notch. Jesse is obviously not jealous, he just doesn't like you. So I was thinking that maybe we could kiss in front of my house? Or maybe you could send me roses? I would pay of course; you would just have to sign the card." She finished somewhat breathlessly but obviously relieved that she got it all out.

I was shocked, and for a while I didn't say anything. But the first thing that popped into my head, was how could she be so blind as to believe that Jesse didn't care about her? But I wasn't going to tell her that, considering she just offered a kiss.

"I'll take care off it Suze, you don't have to worry about a thing. I'll buy the roses and send them to you and I will drive you home from school and then we can kiss in front of Jesse, ok?" I said smoothly and reassuringly while pulling into the school parking lot.

I stopped the car and gave her a flirtatious wink, which she blushed at, and then I headed to class with a smile on my face.

Jesse's POV

I was too ashamed to stay and talk to Susannah after what happened last night. I couldn't face her, so I dematerialized until the next day after she had left for school.

When I got to her bedroom and saw that she was indeed gone, I sighed with relief. I needed time to think about this whole situation.

I guess I knew that eventually Susannah would start dating, but t never really crossed my mind. I never really thought of the fact that Susannah was a smart, brave and very beautiful sixteen year old, who was bound to receive some attention form the opposite sex.

But I never thought it would hurt so badly. I never thought that I would feel a pang of pain every time I see her with Slater. I never thought I would lose control so easily.

Did she love him? Like I her? Or did she just think of him as a friend? Did they kiss? I saw her kiss him on the cheek which hurt just thinking about it, but did she kiss him on the lips?

I shuddered, trying to get that image out of my head.

Maybe I should tell her how I feel? I mean there is nothing to lose, she is already with Slater, what could go wrong? I instantly imagined a picture in which Susannah and I were kissing and my heart did a flip in my dead chest. I shook the image out of my head and hung my head in despair. Foolish dreams wouldn't help me now, I have fallen in love, and there is no cure for that.

Suze's POV

School went by rather quickly, thanks to Adams sense of humor. So before I knew it I was in Paul's car on the way to my house. I decided not to think about the kiss because I knew I would start second guessing myself and I totally didn't need that.

We got to my house and I suddenly became very, very nervous. Was I doing the right thing?

I grabbed Paul's hand and brought him towards the bayside window which, if Jesse was up there, would be in plain view.

I put my arms around Paul's neck, while my heart rate quickly. And before I could talk myself out of this, Paul's lips were on mine.

Ok people so review! PLEASE by the way it is over a thousand words, yay!
