Text Cut: The Other Side of Paulie

She did trust him, and it wasn't because he saved her from a broken neck but because he did live up to her expectations last year when he pulled off the act of flirting and kept his mouth shut about it to his best friend - so yeah, he lived up to even higher than her expectation. Louisa didn't even know if this was bad or good. She let it go, though, because he started answering.

Whaaaaoooo.

Louisa's face slowly changed from smug to sympathy. The surprise that Paulie Foster actually felt this way toward this Tori girl was hidden well. Maybe it was mean of Louisa to be surprised, since Paulie was a human being after all, but she'd never thought he'd actually commit to one girl just because he loved her. She found herself staring at him quite differently too, when his tone was a bit bitter or sad. "I wasn't aiming to make you sad." she said softly. She had like... a dozen questions now, too. But she waited until he re-asked his original one.

Her head turned to look up at the cat as she answered, "It's not different from when we were merely friends." And her tone was very neutral, "Maybe it's because it's been only like a week..." she looked back at Paulie and hesitated. The next words were dangerous and she wanted to know if Paulie was the one to know them or not.

....

"I don't have romantic feelings for him," she almost whispered and then pursed her lips together. A second later she elaborated, "I mean, don't get me wrong. I am happy that we're giving this a go, and I am even happier that he is happy. But I can't say I'm in the same boat as him. Not yet, anyways." Was that bad? Louisa sighed and started fiddling with the bandaged wrist, "I think once we..." kiss? hold hands? "... actually act like a couple, it'll come to me." Even if not, Louisa wanted Adam to stay her boyfriend. She was happy and that's that.

"Does she love you as much as you do? You trust her enough to be committed to her even when she's thousand miles away somewhere, is she doing the same?" BAM! Louisa's trust issue was starting to surface.

Is their relationship just as strong despite the long distance and lack of communication? Ewww, okay, Paulie didn't like this game already. But he gave his word, and so he slumped against the back of the bench some more and sighed pathetically. "I love Tori, a lot." And yes, that was the first time her ever said OUT LOUD that he loved her. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, maybe? "But the long-distance thing just isn't working out so great. For me, at least." He matted down his hair a few times. "I seriously hate it. And what makes it worse is that I know it's not gonna change any time soon 'cause she'll still be goin' to school and I'll be shipped off to who knows where!" And Paulie didn't know what in the world was the right thing to do about this. He slipped his hands in his pockets and figured now it was time to move on. "Well, now that you've succeeded in making me sa-aad," Paulie said with an attempted smile, though he was only half-joking. That was actually probably why he didn't like saying these sorta things: because he didn't like showing that Paulie Foster did get sad. "I forgot what I was gonna ask you.." His forehead crinkled. "Oh! How are you and Adam, like, relationship-wise?" And he had totally asked that question before she asked hers, so SHE had been the question copycat.
