UNEXPECTED LOVE

Dawns heart was…melting. Her pulse was racing. Her mind was far away. And her body was uncontrollable. But she didn't care!

She was kissing Paul! And this time, it hadn't been a complete accident. At the time when she had asked him not to go, it was because she was scared of the lightning, and believe it or not, Paul being there, holding her and caressing her hair calmly helped. She didn't want him to go.

Dawn hated thunderstorms. The lightning and the thunder brought back terrible memories, a faze that she still hadn't gotten over.

Usually, when thishappened, she would just crawl under something and suffer in silence. When people asked, she would tell them that everything was ok. And they would believe her, because, lets face it-she was a believable person. She was always scared that if she told anyone of her problem, then they would tell nurse joy and cause a big fuss.

But Paul was different; he hadn't run down stairs and caused trouble, leaving her alone. He had done the exact thing that she needed the most. He had taken her in his arms and had calmed her. And now as he kissed her, she felt all her fear ebb away and be replaced with a passion like she had never felt before. For Paul?

It wasn't possible, or was it?

Suddenly he pulled away, only a little, to breathe, and looked down at her. Dawn's eyes fluttered and through half lidded eyes she saw Paul's face was flushed and his eyes were focused on her. He tried to talk, but all that came out in the end was a rather raspy gasp "Dawn".

That one word, her name, set her whole body on fire, and it burst as he kissed her again (if possible) even more passionately then before. Dawn had never felt anything like this before, subconsciously the fingers that were in twined in his hair pulled his head closed to hers as his mouth devoured her.

Her heart was racing, her pulse was pounding and all she wanted was him to pull her closer and make her forget all the things that scared her. At that moment, if he wanted to do something, anything to her, she wouldn't have done anything, she trusted him completely, and that scared her the most.

Never, since what happened years ago to her, had she ever given anyone her trust again. Other then her mother, did she trust anyone, not even Ash and Brock. Sure she liked them, she had fun with them and she loved travelling with them, they were her friends. But she really didn't trust them. Not really. She was always ready for them to leave her.

But she was slowly learning to trust Paul. Someone who until up to a couple of days, she believed that was rude, sarcastic ect. And he thought she was troublesome and annoying.

But now…everything was different. So she did the impossible and pushed him away. Paul stumbled a little and leant against the wall surprised.

"Im sorry" she whispered "I can't… Im sorry" and with that she ran out of the room. Dawns mind told her that she was doing the right thing. But her whole body and heart were screaming for her to turn back and to go back to him.

But like she always did, she listened to her head and she kept running. Suddenly she found herself running into the lobby. She was crying, she was crying and sobbing and she didn't know why. For some reason Dawn's heart felt like breaking.


Paul just stared at the door that Dawn had just run out of. 'Im sorry' she had said, sorry for what? For that there was a huge obvious attraction between them? That she had kissed him back and liked it? Because there was no way on earth that she would be able to lie and convince him that she didn't like it. Not after the way she had kissed him back, and ran her fingers through his hair.

But then why had she pushed him away? And why did she look so sad and so scared when she had looked at him? He didn't know but at least he knew one thing. He now finally knew the reason of why he always felt so strange around her.

He had fallen in love with Dawn.

And he also knew that despite her reaction, that she liked him back.


The next morning they both packed the bags, faced away from each other silently.

The night before when Paul had gone to bed and Dawn had calmed down, she had also gone to sleep. But now they were up and they were feeling awkward, both with something important to say, and both didn't know how to say it.

Finally dawn decided to break the silence "Paul…" they both turned to each other "Im sorry about yesterday, breaking down on you like that and…" she paused "kissing you, it was stupid and I know you think it was nothing but a big mistake to and…" "I don't think it wasn't a mistake" "…maybe we can just forget" she stopped when she realized what he just said "Im sorry what was that?

Paul's face was calm, but serious as he walked up to her and said in an even voice "I don't think it was mistakes, in fact, complete the opposite, it helped me understand something."

Dawns heart rate sped up and her mouth went dry "and what was that?" she managed to ask. Paul looked down at her and their eyes met. If dawn's heart was racing before, it was in serious need of a speed ticket now.

"I like you" he said simply, but those three words dropped a bomb on her head. "And when I kiss you, when I with you, I feel…fantastic.

I didn't understand why before, because it was new to me. I've never felt like this before about anyone. But I understand now. I like you, a lot." He raised his hand and razed it over her cheek, the movement sent jolts up her spine. "So to me" he continued softly "that kiss wasn't a mistake, I liked it" his hand cupped hers "and I know you did too"

Dawn didn't know what to say. Of course she had liked it, she had loved it. Dawn had spent half the night trying to convince herself that she hadn't liked it. But now with his hand on hers and his face so close, she was having a hard time remembering.

Suddenly he pulled away "doesn't worry, I wont try to kiss you without your permission, so don't look so scared" did she look scared? Dawn couldn't tell "I just needed you to know how I felt" he said.

Dawn's heart slowed down immediately the minute Paul walked away from her. She should have been happy but instead she felt a weird sense of longing in her chest. "Well" Paul's voice brought dawn out of her daze "are you coming? Or are you going to stand there staring into space all day"

"What" she asked shocked Paul jerked his head at the door "if you still want to travel with me until you find your friends then I suggest that we get going"


In the end Dawn had gone with him again. Everything felt awkward, she didn't know where to look what to do, what to say. So she just kept walking quietly, with her head down, relying on the sound of Paul's footsteps to guide her.


Paul listened behind him as Dawn followed. Though she had come with him she was absolutely silent behind him. When she had followed him out the door before, even if he hadn't shown any emotion on his face at the time, he had been really happy. Paul had been half worried that she would prefer to go lost and alone then to travel with him after the second kiss they shared and how he had confessed his feelings.

Maybe he shouldn't have confessed so fast. But Paul had always hated keeping something inside. If something was bothering him then he sorted it, if he wanted something then he would work to get it. And what he wanted, was for dawn to stop being so stupid and to realize what was between them.

Well, there was plenty of time, so all he had to do was find out what was scaring her and sort it out. So that they could move on.
