Caught Between Two Worlds (paul stanley x oc fic)

Part 24

I can't believe I said that to her. "I love you..." I just said it because it seemed like something that I should say. At this sudden thought Paul had this overwhelming feeling of dread. How can I not know how I feel about her. For god's sake she's been sleeping in the same room with me for months.

"Hey Paul are you getting ready in there?" Ava asked from outside the bathroom door bringing Paul away from his thoughts.

"uh...yeah yeah...I'm getting ready I'll just be a second ok" Paul responded raking his hands through his hair.

"well it doesn't sound like your even getting ready..." Ava said with slight annoyance as she opened the bathroom door.

Paul looked up from the mirror and saw Ava standing in the doorframe of the bathroom door with her eyebrows raised and a smirk on her face.

"what have you been doing this whole time in here? Starin' at your mug in that mirror?" Ava questioned as she walked into the bathroom wearing one of Paul's shirts.

Wow why does she look so good wearing my shirts. WAIT why am I thinking that when I don't even know my feelings towards her? Paul thought as he watched her brush her hair next to him.

Suddenly as he was watching her reflection in the mirror he saw her eyes flash a color and they suddenly held anger.

"YOU DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT ME?!" Ava yelled

"What?! How did you?" Paul questioned as the brush that Ava was holding in her hand went flying towards his head.

"I read your mind...don't forget I have powers...which I guess I should be using a lot more often since now I'm gonna have to read your mind more frequently" Ava replied eyes glowing red.

"why did you even read my mind?" Paul asked accusingly

"because I thought you were acting weird. You've been in the bathroom for 20 minutes now" Ava said

"I'm sorry but...yes we've been together for months now I just don't know what I feel right now" Paul said.

"then why did you even say that you loved me then Paul?" Ava asked sadly as her eyes changed from red to light blue. "because you know I thought you really meant it because I love you...that's we are bonded we are meant to be together" Ava continued as she walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed.

"I don't believe in that...some supernatural force that says that we are suppose to be together" Paul stated as he sat down next to her.

"It explains why I was having premonitions about you right after I met you because I've never had premonitions about people I barely know" Ava stated " and if you didn't love me then why did you stick up for me when I was auditioning to be apart of this band, why did you say earlier that you wanted to be photographed me for the album cover, if you didn't love me explain that to me" Ava said as she looked at Paul.

"I like you a lot Ava I do but,---" Paul started to say when Ava interrupted him.

"well if you were willing to go up against Cody like you did months ago in that hospital doesn't that give you your answer about how you feel about me?" Ava said slowly with a smile on her face.

"what did you go back that far into my thoughts to see how I was feeling at that moment?" Paul asked with a smirk on his face

"no because I remember the look on your face when he threatened me....you loved me since then..you just didn't know it..." Ava said as she touched his face, taking him back to that moment in time, and making him feel the same way he felt in that moment as he defending Ava.

"so? Is that the feeling?" Ava asked as she removed her hand from his face.

"yes....that's the same feeling I feel about you all the time..." Paul said as he grabbed her hand and kissed it "I guess I just have to be more confident in my feelings about you..."

"I honestly never pegged you for being a person that doesn't have confidence you know" Ava stated as she kissed Paul and wrapped her arm around his neck.

"I love you Paul" Ava said as she brushed her nose his neck and smiled

"I love you too Ava..." Paul said as he hugged her tight against him.

This time I'm certain of it....
