A Broken Web 2

Chapter 13 - Peter's POV

For some reason, I don't think Gwen's mum likes me. I am positive Simon hates me now. Just wait till he gets a fiancé. I think Gwen's mum doesn't like me because she thinks I 'move too fast'. But you can't blame me. It's Gwen Stacy (soon to be Parker) for God's sake!!! I bet Captain Stacy would've been just like me 'back in the day.'

But I have a good reason for saying this. Gwen's Mum and Simon have kept me away from Gwen like, all the time. I know they are just trying to protect her and all that, but what is the worst I can do? I'm not spiderman here; he belongs to London now. Harry's in jail, and no one else knows I'm spiderman except Gwen. I thought that Simon was just being a protective brother, but he is an over protective brother. And I don't know what Gwen's mum thinks. What was I to do that night of our first kiss? Was I to just stop kissing her and let her...um...go and scream "YOU'RE SPIDERMAN?" Uh...no. Not that she would. Gwen doesn't like this either. Gwen was sleeping on the couch, and I swore I saw Simon try to take the engagement ring off. Gwen usually sneaks through to the front room in the middle of the night to be with me. I mean, like, really? SHE'S MY BLOOMIN' FIANCÉ!!!!!

********************************

"Sorry." Says Gwen as we walk back into our apartment. I pretend to look puzzled. "What for?" I ask. "Stop pretending. I couldn't believe my brother and mother this weekend. They wouldn't let you touch me, or even be within 2 metres of me." She says. "Oh, it's ok..." I say. Gwen folds her arms, and gives me a look. "Oh, who am I kidding? It was torture. You are my fiancé for god's sake!! I'm pretty sure Simon tried to take the ring off a few times too. Who does that to a man in love!!" I shout. Gwen puts one hand on my chest and the other ruffles my hair. I put my arms around her, and kiss her neck softly. It's been a whole 48 hours since I've held her. I cherish this moment.

"I missed you." I whisper.

"I missed you more." She whispers back.

"We were so close...."

"Yet so far apart..."

"Because the most important people in our lives....."

"Don't support our love."

We laugh. "That was a masterpiece!!!" Gwen laughs. "I think we'd give Shakespeare a run for his money." I say. Her lips touch mine. We kiss. At this moment, I realise that everything in my past, has lead up to the present, and everything in the present will lead into the future. But I don't care. Gwen's family can hate me. I don't care. They can say what they want about me. They can separate us, but they can't separate the love we share.
