Liz didn't go too hard Mia which was a relief.
She seemed surprised, pleasantly surprised. She was still confused about the whole pack thing but she didn't say anything to anyone as promised. Mia could see that she was beyond worried but she was trying.
And Liz admitted that she was relieved that Mia wasn't only running around chasing vampires but doing things a person her age would do. As she drilled the gossip out of her, for a second, Mia felt like it was the way things used to be, before all of this.
The next day Liz went to work while Mia slept in for the second time in a row. When she woke up, she couldn't help but giggle as the events of last night played on her mind. She had kissed Paul, Paul had kissed her back and even said that it was the best moment of his life. She wasn't the only one who developed feelings.
She grabbed her phone and found herself almost texting Caitlyn and Olivia. Oh, Cait and Olivia. How much she had missed them and how much she wanted them to be next to her, to talk about this. She wanted to tell them everything, both the truth and Paul.
But she couldn't.
Instead, she opened the text from Bella. She had informed her like Mia asked but Mia was too occupied last night to think or see the text. Turns out Bella's hand wasn't broken, just sprained. And it would heal in a week, which Bella was happy about since that was when Alice was throwing her the graduation party.
Which also meant that school would end in a week. Bella was graduating and although Mia was happy about the occasion she also knew what came after it.
She and her sister never actually talked about it, still, but Mia was aware of Bella's intent. She had to talk to her soon about it.
On the upper side, at least Mia would be able to freely be with the pack now that school was over. And she was also becoming a senior which was both exciting and sad at the same time. She would graduate high school in a year and her life had changed so much in the past months that... she didn't know what her future would be like now.
It scared her but at least she had other things to occupy her mind. Like the redhead or the intruder vampire they still couldn't identify. Or Paul and what last night meant. They didn't get a chance to speak about it all since Liz caught them. Mia wasn't entirely sure if they would be able to talk about it if her mom didn't walk in on them too.
She blushed as she thought about it again. It wasn't like the memories just got away for a second but she got overwhelmed again. Oh God, she really was in too deep already.
There was a tap on her window. She jerked up and saw Paul. He was standing outside of her window. She jumped out of her bed and went to the window. "You could have used the door,"
He shrugged. "Never could be more cautious,"
Mia took a step back and he jumped inside. "Okay, uhm, give me two minutes," she said and rushed to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth while simultaneously brushing her hair.
"What are you doing here?" she entered her room with a smile.
"Uh, I thought it was obvious,"
"Is it?"
"Do you need me to remind you?" he asked in a low tone and Mia had to remind herself to breathe.
Paul seemed delighted to get that reaction from her. "Because it would be my pleasure," he said, getting closer once again.
Mia had to bite down on her lip to not do something stupid. "I'd like that,"
Then, in a second, his lips were on hers and she forgot her name again. It wasn't as life-changing as last night and frankly, Mia didn't think anything else in her life could ever top that, but it was more than satisfactory.
