Okay, guys, here it is - my first fanfic (ever). My sister corrected my mistakes so everything should be alright.. So, anyways, I hope you'll like it. :]
---------------------------
Gwen's P.O.V.
...„You’re always staring at Duncan like he’s some kind of a god!” yelled Trent. „You know, we are together and he has a girlfriend too!”
„Had a girlfriend! Had!” I exclaimed.
„What..?” he was confused. „He broke up with Courtney?”
„Yeah! And I’m not staring at him like he’s some kinda god!” I continued.
„Yes, आप are! And I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d have kissed already!” he screamed again.
„Oh my God, Trent. What’s happened to you?! Why are आप so jealous? We’re just good friends, there’s no reason for आप to be jealous!”
„Oh yeah? There’s just one little problem. Good फ्रेंड्स don’t call each other ‘sweetheart’.”
„He calls me sweetheart. And there’s nothing I can do about it. If you’re not okay with that – fine. It’s over.”
„What? No... Gwen! आप can’t do that!”
I felt tears welling up in my eyes but I didn’t let them show. „We’re arguing for, like, the third time in mere fourty-eight hours! Sorry, Trent, but we can’t continue like this. Lately you’ve started yelling at me for nothing.”
„But, Gwen! I’m sorry... Please forgive me! We were so good together.”
„See? That’s the point: we were! We can’t live in the past. It’s over. I have to go now. Goodbye, Trent. I’m sorry.”
I opened the front door of his house and ran out. There was a storm raging outside. I kept running till I reached the अगला block, and stopped. I had no place to go. Trent कहा he’d drive me घर since I live on the other side of the city, but I couldn’t go back to him. I started thinking where I could possibly go, ‘cause I had no money for a bus ticket and my Mom didn’t have a car. Geoff lived somewhere around here, but Bridgette probably was with him, and sitting around and watching them make out now that I’d just broken up with Trent didn’t seem like the best thing to do.
Duncan lived in the अगला block. He was my best friend and the person I could always count on. I decided to go to his place. Halfway there a thought crossed my mind that maybe he wasn’t at home. This thought finally freed the tears that had threatened to spill and I started to cry.
Duncan's P.O.V.
I was staring out the window. A thunderstorm. It was nice knowing I wasn’t out there.
„I wonder what Gwen’s doing now... Gosh! Duncan, dude, what is wrong with you? You’re thinking about her again!” I cursed at myself in my mind.
A lightning strike lit up the सड़क, स्ट्रीट below and showed off a running silhouette. Gwen popped up before my eyes again, „Maybe that’s her running there..? C’mon, Duncan. She has a boyfriend. She’s probably with him now.”
I waited for another flash, but instead I heard my doorbell ringing. „What the hell,” I mumbled. I sure wasn’t expecting anyone.
I ran down to the front door – I was घर alone, so there wasn’t anyone else who’d get the door for me – and opened them. I did a double take.
„Gwen. Gwen? What are आप doing here?”
„If आप let me in, I’ll explain,” she answered and smiled at me. Oh man, how I loved when she smiled like that...
I moved aside to let her enter. „Maybe आप need a towel.. या maybe a robe.. a tea.. या something?” Seriously, she was drenched to the bone, rainwater dripping off her form like from a watering can.
„Yeah. Maybe I do need a towel and a robe, and a tea,” she replied, still smiling.
„Okay. Umm, there’s the bathroom, there should be a लबादा, बागे hanging around somewhere. I’ll get आप a clean towel and make the tea. आप can have a शावर, शॉवर if आप want to, and then we’ll go upstairs to my room and आप will tell me what happened. Sound okay?”
„Yeah, okay,” she agreed, taking off her boots and padding off in the direction of the bathroom. I ran upstairs to fetch the towel from the closet and headed back down to the रसोई, रसोईघर to plug in the water kettle so it would boil. The अगला stop was the bathroom. I hoped she wasn’t naked yet. या maybe the opposite? I entered the bathroom, and there she was – standing right in front of me.
In just her underwear.
Gwen's P.O.V.
Good Lord in heaven, hadn’t mama taught him आप have to knock before entering a room? Especially if it’s a bathroom?
„Oh! Uuhm... Sorry, Gwen... Here’s your towel... Uhh.. yeah, so... I’ll just.. go,” he stammered.
He didn’t हटाइए an inch, though. He just stood there, staring at me with eyes wide open.
I took the towel form his hands, wrapped it around me, then gently pushed him out of the bathroom and closed the door. I wasn’t really mad at Duncan. I didn’t know why, but I just.. wasn’t.
I finally took that शावर, शॉवर I desperately needed, feeling like I was washing away the argument between me and Trent, our break-up and my tears.
Afterwards I dried off, pulled on the लबादा, बागे and tied the बेल्ट tightly around my waist, climbing up the stairs to Duncan’s room. I knocked on his door and went in. He was sitting on his bed, closely watching the steam rising from the two चाय cups placed on the तालिका, टेबल in front of him.
„Hey,” I कहा and sat down अगला to him.
He jumped. „Oh, hey! Uh, about that, in the bathroom –”
„Don’t worry,” I interrupted him. „It’s okay. I’m not mad at you.”
„Really? Cool!” He smiled. „So, what about your story?”
„Oh, yeah...” I sighed and told him everything that had happened until the moment I rang his doorbell.
He let out a low whistle when I stopped speaking. „So... आप and Trent aren’t together anymore?” He looked like he was trying very hard to hide his smile.
„No, we’re not.”
„Oh. I’m really sorry.”
„Whatever. He was a jerk after all.” I took a sip from one of the चाय cups. „Your parents aren’t here, right?”
He shook his head.
„Where are they?”
„At my Aunt’s place. They’ll be back tomorrow night.”
„Oh,” I said.
„Yeah. So, Pasty,” he smirked, „What should we do? The storm’s over.”
„I don’t know. Maybe we could watch a movie?” An idea appeared in my mind and I smiled a wicked little smile. „Maybe we could watch ‘Alien Chunk’?”
„Now that’s what I’m talking about! I have it on DVD downstairs.”
We went back down to the living room and I sat down on the सोफ़ा, सोफे while Duncan put the movie in. We watched it carefully, laughing at the unsuspecting characters and having a good time just being there with each other.
When the movie was over, I turned to Duncan, about to ask him what to do next, but he was faster and surprised me with a kiss. At first I pulled away and whispered, „What are आप –” but his lips cut me off as he pulled me to him and passionately kissed me again.
This time I kissed him back. He put his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. I don’t know how long we stayed like that, but my cell phone’s ringing broke us apart.
„What now,” he growled.
„Leshawna’s calling,” I shouted over my shoulder as I was hurrying back to the bathroom where I’d left my clothes and my phone as well. „Hello?”
„Hey girl! How are ya?”
„Um, fine. Why are आप calling?” I replied, frowning.
„Well, Trent called me, saying I’d need to pick आप up and drive आप home. So where are you?”
„At Duncan’s.”
„Whut? Girl, why’re आप there?”
„I needed a place to stay until the storm was over... Oh no! I forgot to call my Mom!”
„So आप stayin’ with him till tomorrow?” Leshawna asked.
„Yeah, I’ll ask him to drive me घर in the morning.”
„Well, okay. See ya later. Take care, dear.”
„Yeah, good night,” I कहा before hanging up.
„So what’d she want, sweetheart?” I heard a voice behind my back. I spun around and there stood a smirking Duncan.
I smirked back at him. „Evidently Trent had called Leshawna to have her get me home. But now I really have to call Mom.”
Duncan's P.O.V.
When her Mom answered, Gwen said, „Hi, Mom. I’m staying at a friend’s house tonight, okay? ... Duncan... Mom! ... Of course his parents are here... Okay... Yeah, bye... प्यार आप too.” She sighed and put her phone away.
„Gwendolyne! Lying is not good,” I tsked with a smile.
„Oh, I’m so very sorry, Mr Duncan!” She closed the distance between us and wound her arms around my neck and smiled that smile I loved so much.
„I प्यार it when आप smile like that,” I said.
„Why, thank you. Your smirk सूट्स आप quite well, आप know...”
„Then I suppose I’ll have to do it और often,” I replied.
„I guess आप should,” she agreed.
I pulled her as close as humanly possible and kissed her again. या should I say, we started making out again?
„You know,” she said, breathless, when we broke apart for a moment. „I think I don’t like you.. I love you.”
„I प्यार आप too,” I answered.
„If there hadn’t been this thunderstorm,” she continued, „None of this would have happened. I’d just have gone home, and we wouldn’t have had a चाय and watched a movie, या done this,” and she pressed her lips to mine again.
And when we kissed again, I realized that finally there is a person अगला to me who truly loves me as I am, who won’t boss me around, a person who makes me happy, a person who I’m truly in प्यार with...
