CONTINUED UPDATE

Ok, so I wake up smiling, which is a first, well not a first first, but a first in long time, and guess what I was smiling about. I was thinking about Paul and seeing him in history and social studies. And then possibly after school. More like detention actually. Anyways, Jake drives us to school. We end up getting there about 5 min. early, because I was just about ready before him, also a first.

So I'm walking through the corridors, heading to whatever my first class is, oh yea, math, and I hear Kelly saying, "So I talked to Paul, and he said he would find time to go 'site-seeing' with me. BEFORE the cruise."

"Did he say when?" some girl asked her after they finished laughing.

"No, but he said he would make time," she said a bit too proudly. Hmmm, should I tell her that he changed his mind about her? Naaa, not yet. I'll wait just a bit longer, till I'm sure.

I get through my first class the same as all the others. Till history, which, today, was before Social Studies. Thinking about Paul, I just couldn't get him out of my head. Through out history and social studies Paul and I exchange notes. He wants to hang out after detention again. When I asked where he said it was a surprise. All I could think of was how perfect he was, doing and saying all the right things. Whenever I looked over at him he returned it with one heck of a smile. Then he'd whisper, more like mouth, something like 'you're gorgeous' or something like that. Then I'd it back to him only saying it was him that was gorgeous. Just silly flirting stuff.

On the way out of Social Studies, he takes my hand just squeezes it lightly. Then he puts his arm around me, and whispers, "After detention," he basically growled that in my ear tickling it and at the same time he practically crushes me between his arm and his great chest. I laugh and put my hands on his chest so that he wouldn't crush me completely.

After a quick kiss, he finishes his whisper, "After detention, you don't go anywhere. I have a surprise." We arrive at 'my door' and I say bye and shove him away teasingly. He puts a finger under my chin and lifts it upward to respond to my teasing shove.

After detention, I go to the parking lot and see Paul waiting for me, sitting on the edge of his hood, of the car. I walk up to him slowly and he just watches me. I get close, but not close enough for him to touch me.

"So, where is this secret place?" I ask, putting my hands on my hips. He gets off the car and walks over to me. He brings his hand to my face, his fingers behind my neck, his thumbs rubbing my temples on either side. I put my hands on his elbows, looking at his blue eyes. Those amazing blue eyes.

Then he kisses me. What an amazing kiss. I just kiss him back because, what else? He's hot! And he likes me! After about a minuet passes he pulls, more like pushes, away. "Come on, I want to show you something" he smiles, breathing on my nose. I smile back and he shoves me, not hard, toward the passenger side.

Once in the car he starts driving, quiet fast. "Where are we going?" I ask again, looking at him. He looks back at me, giving me that look that made me feel special, beautiful. Looking back to the road, he reaches for my face and cradles it with the palm of his hand. Then he gives me a good long stare. Well not too long, because he's driving, like super fast. His hand lingers there for a few more seconds then goes back to the steering wheel.

"So where are you taking me?" I say exasperatedly. He just laughed and shook his head. "Come on, tell me" I say 'punching' his shoulder.

"Naw, not yet…. You see." He says.

"But when?" I say annoyed.

"Sooooon, gosh be patient Suze." He replies.

"I'm not a patient person." I say laughing. He doesn't say anything, just laughs with me.

After about 5 min. of driving he stops. It's the same place as yesterday where we kissed. We get out I don't know what to do. I mean I like him and all, and if he kissed me right now I would definitely kiss him back, but what exactly is it? I mean we are leaving on Sunday, today is Wednesday. 4 more days. I couldn't wait.

Paul walks next to me and puts his arm around me, like yesterday, only I didn't pull away this time. I put my arm around his back; NOW we look like a couple. After walking for a while he pulls me around in front of him again. I get another chance to look into those amazing blue eyes. Shit, I think I'm falling for him.

"Suze, I know I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I really want to get to know you. Really really, no joke." He says truly sincere and all.

I look at him, I guess you could say fondly, and as if he were crazy.

"I just," he continues "I feel like I know you, but I know I don't. And I don't know how you feel, but whenever I'm near you or just looking at you, I change. Now I want you to answer this for me, however you want, but just answer me please." He hesitates a bit, "Would you consider being my girlfriend?"

I'm shocked. Did he just ask if I could be his girlfriend? Is he serious? ME? He doesn't SEEM to be on drugs or high or anything like that. What does he see in me? Easy? One night stand? 'I just wanna see what it's like'? WHAT?! Is it a joke?

He looks at my face while I'm thinking all this over, he must have been hinting at the 'confused/angry' part, so he lightly kissed me. At first I'm confused, then my thoughts start slipping away into depths of nothingness and I kiss him back. That was my answer. He smiled, wrapped his arms around my waist and literally lifted me off the ground and spun me around in a circle. I laughed.

"What was that about?" I say once he put me down. He just gave me this real big grin and said, "I just got what I've been looking for….you." and he kissed me again. For a really long time.

While he was driving me home, we both had these silly smiles on our faces. Whenever we looked at each other, it was complete and utter happy-ness and full of love. Wow, love…. I never thought that would happen to me. Wow.

"So look," he said about 2 min. away from my house, but with him driving it probably only takes 45 seconds. "Now that we're together and all, you wanna go out Friday night?" he asks quiet casually.

"Sure, where to?" I respond just as casually, yet smiling like crazy. I'm sure my voice gave it away that I WAS smiling.

"Oh, I dunno. How about I pick you up, does that work?" he asks.

"Yeah, O.K." I say back. Told you, about 45 seconds and I'm home.

"Does 7 sound good?" he asks. "Yea, that's fine." I say while I'm opening the door. I put my right foot out and am about to get up, but he pulls me back and pulls my head toward him for a kiss. I just laugh, I'm doing that a lot too now.

"I gotta go," I say this time pushing him away. It was hard because he didn't want to stop. "Paul." Kiss. "Paul, I really." Kiss. "Have to go."

"Oh fine," he says, letting me go. "I'll let you go, but only for now." he adds mysteriously. I shake my head and get out of the car.

"Bye Suze." He says oh so coolly.

"Bye Paul." I say adding a small wave.

He drives off as I'm opening the door. Mom was standing there. Uh-oh, she must have seen all that. Not good.

"Suze." Here it goes. "Who was that?" she says rather curiously.

"Just a guy. Paul Slater." I say looking at the ground.

"Who is he?" she asks. When I don't answer right away, she gets all girly on me and goes.

"Is he your BOYFRIEND!?" I look at her and she looks, happy. I always thought she would be really mad if I ever got a boyfriend. Guess not.

"Yea, he is." I say cautiously. She does that 'OOOOOOO, I'm so excited for you' thing and hugs me. "I'm so glad you finally have a boyfriend, it's been so long. Actually, come to think of it, you've never had one." She hugs me tighter, I just hug her back, awkwardly.

She pulls me at arm length and asks, "Is he cute?" uhhh, no, he's hot.

"Yea," I say enthusiastically, "He's really cute, can I go out with him? Please?" I just said this because I knew she wanted to know and for me to ask for permission to go out.

"Oh yes yes, of course you can. Honey, I'm so happy for you!" she says. Ok, when was mom like this? Is it because she thinks that I should get away with a few things since she moved me all the way out here? Maybe….. oh well, I don't mind. I get a boyfriend, COOL!... wait, is it though? I mean, Paul seems sweet and all, more than sweet actually, but it just seems too good.

"Honey, dinner." Says mom, so I forget my thoughts, and go to dinner.

So I'm doing homework, have a bit more than usual, and I hear this tapping on the window. I look out and I see Paul in the tree. What the heck? I go to the window quickly and open it.

"What the hell are you doing Paul?!" I whisper harshly. He wasn't close enough to climb in. What IS he doing here?

"I just wanted to see you. And what are you doing up so late? It's like midnight." He asks concernedly.

"I'm doing homework. What are you doing here? At MIDNIGHT?!" ok, I wasn't that upset, but still, what the heck?

"I just… I just, wanted to see you. It was important to me. IS important to me." He said a bit nervously. Now that I looked at him he didn't look too well.

"Paul, are you ok? You don't look too great." I say leaning forward a bit. The second I said that though, his color returned back to his face and he put a smile on.

"Naw, I'm fine, I should probably go now and let you get some rest." He says. I look confused.

"Okay." I say confused, "I'll see you tomorrow then." I say really confused.

He laughs, "Well I'll see YOU today…. Midnight" he says smiling and climbs down. Once he's down on the solid ground again, he looks up and whispers just loud enough for me to hear him. "Night Love." And then he quickly leaves to his car which was parked around the corner.

I close the window and sit down on my bed. What the heck? Why did he have to see me right that instance? It doesn't make sense.

I finish my homework, didn't take much longer, and then go to bed, thinking of what the heck just happened and worried about tomorrow.
