My best friend [completed]

Chapter 6

Jessica POV

I sat with Paul on the couch. He was spread out and had his head on my lap. I tangled my hands in his hair as we watched TV. I looked at Paul and noticed he was looking at me. "What?" I asked smiling. "You're beautiful Jessie" he said. I bet down and kissed him. "Thanks babe" I said after I pulled away.

He grinned at me and rolled over so he was on his side. I stroked his arm and we continued watching TV. I heard the front door open and quickly made Paul sit up. My dad and Rosalie walked through the door. "Hi sweetie" Dad said. "Hey dad. This is my boyfriend Paul" I said. "Hi Paul" Rosalie said. "Hi Mrs Stone" Paul said smiling. "Hello Paul" Dad said. "Hi Mr Stone. It's nice to meet you" Paul said getting up and shaking my dad's hand.

"Well we are going to go to my room"I said standing up. "Leave the door open" dad said. I rolled my eyes and nodded. Paul and I went into my room and watched TV. "Well that went a lot better than I expected" I said. Paul nodded. We watched Just Go With It and halfway through it I somehow ended up on Paul's lap. The movie finished and I turned off the TV. I turned around so I was straddling Paul.

I kissed him and he kissed me back. He pulled me closer to him and I weaved my fingers through his hair. I heard someone clear their throat. I quickly jumped away from Paul. I turned and saw my dad. "I'm going to go now" Paul said. "I'll call you later" I said. "Bye Mr Stone" he said leaving the room. "Jessica I'm disappointed in you" dad said. "Why?" I asked. "Because I know where that was leading" he said. "Dad we've been dating for less than a week. We haven't even thought about that yet. And why would it be so bad?" I asked. "Because you're only 17" he said. "Exactly dad. I'm not a little girl anymore" I said.

"You are a little girl and that's the end of it" he said before leaving the room. I sighed and fell back onto my bed. I picked up my phone and texted Paul.

(P-Paul, J-Jess)

J: hey :)

P: hey!!! What did ur dad say?

J: he thinks we were going to have sex and he said I'm a little girl

P: omg! Lololol. That would've been awkward

P: is that alright?

J: yep. all good as long as dad doesn't see u

P: what time?

J: 10.30

P: k. See u then

J: 😘

I put my phone down and left my room. I found dad, Rosalie and my four year old half brother Caleb in the kitchen. "Hi" I said. "Caleb go play outside" Dad said. He ran outside and started bouncing on the trampoline. "So do you guys like Paul?" I asked. "I do. He seems like a nice boy" Rosalie said. "I did but then I saw him with his tongue down your throat so now I'm not sure" dad said.

"Dad I see you and Rose kissing all the time. Why am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?" I asked. "Because you're still just a child" dad said. "I'm not a baby anymore!" I exclaimed. "Don't use that tone with me" dad said sternly. "You can't control what I do or when I do things with my boyfriend" I said. "Yes I can" he said. "How about we compromise" Rosalie said. We both looked at her. "Will, you're being a bit dramatic. She was just kissing her boyfriend. And Jess is right, she isn't a baby anymore. You need to trust that she will be responsible" she said to dad.

"And you Jess, you need to be careful and make good choices. Don't do anything you aren't ready for and be safe" she said. "We've only been going out for not even a week and we haven't even thought about sex yet. So don't panic" I said to both of them. "Just remember you can talk to us about anything" Rosalie said. "I know. Can I go now?" I asked. Dad nodded and I went back to my room.

I called Paul. "Hey" he said. "Hey. Do you want to come over and go swimming?" I asked. "Sure" he replied. "See you soon" I said before hanging up. I walked into my closet and got my favourite light blue bikinis. I put them on and then got a towel. I heard a knock on the door and ran to open it before anyone else did. I opened the door and I hugged Paul. He kissed my cheek and we went inside.

"Hi Paul" Dad said. "Hi Mr Stone. I'm really sorry about what happened earlier" he said. "It's ok. Call me Will" dad said. Paul nodded and I smiled at him. "We are going swimming" I said. "I guessed that" dad said. I laughed and I pulled Paul outside. "Well I think he's starting to like you" I said smiling. He grinned at me and took off his tshirt.

He picked me up an started walking towards the pool. "Paul. Put me down. I'm fat" I said. "Babe you are one of the skinniest girls that I've ever seen. Your ribs stick out" he said. I looked away from him and then he jumped into the pool. I laughed when we got back to the surface because somehow he was still holding me.

"Why did you look away from me when I said you were skinny?" He asked. "Because you said I was one of the skinniest girls that you've ever seen and my ribs stick out" I said. "I didn't mean it as a bad thing. Why are you so skinny though?" He asked. I looked away from him and felt a tear fall from my eyes when I thought about what happened. Paul turned my head so I was looking at him again. "Hey please don't cry" he said wiping away my tears with his thumb.

"I'm sorry" I said. "It's ok" he said hugging me. "Do you really want to know why I'm so skinny?" I asked. He nodded. "Last year I was overweight and people had no problem with telling me that so over the holidays I made myself throw up after I ate anything. Then my parents found out and they made me see a therapist and she said that I had bulemia. I was a lot skinnier than this at the start of the year" I said. "Why would you do that to yourself?" He asked. "Do you know what it's like to be called fat by everyone?" I asked. He shook his head. "It's terrible" I said. "Babe you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen" Paul said kissing me. "Thanks" I said. "It's what I do" he said laughing. "Dr Zimmer, the therapist. That doesn't sound right" I said laughing. Soon he was laughing too.

We stayed in the pool until it got dark. I dried myself and we went inside. "I'm going to quickly have a shower" I said leaving Paul sitting on my bed.

Paul POV

I sat on Jess's bed thinking about what she told me. I saw her dad walk into the room. "Jess is in the shower" I said. "I know. I came to talk to you" Will said. "Um ok" I said. "Thank you for talking to Jess about her problem" he said. "That's ok" I said. "I'm serious. She wouldn't listen to us when we talked to her about it. So again thank you" he said. I smiled and he left the room.

A minute later Jess came back into the room. "Everything alright?" She asked. "Yeah. Your dad came to thank me for talking to you" I said. "Oh" she said looking confused.

Jess POV

"I'll go but I'll be back later" Paul said. We walked to the door and he kissed me before he left. I shut the door and grinned. I turned around and saw dad and Rosalie standing there smiling at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing" they both said. "You guys are weird" I said laughing and going back into my room.
