I got this little idea while watching Lexicon of Love. I thought to myself...what if Alex really was a stripper. Anyway, this takes place after Season 5. Just know Paige and Alex got back together. I'm not going to get into detail how. You can go ahead and fill in the gaps between their break up and when the story takes place. I'm not planning on turning this into a novel like some of my other stories...I just thought there would be some funny things I could do with it. I have a lot of things already worked out on what's going to happen. Also, I'm not planning on getting into super detail with the story either as far as character development and hardships. It's really just ment to be amusing. So I really am expecting this to be a short story.

Chapter 1
"Sweetie, turn off the light." Paige asked calmly.
"But I can't see." I replied.
"But it costs money. Lights off." She demanded. Paige was right. We couldn't even afford to have the lights on right now.
"How am I supposed to get ready for bed?" I replied a little annoyed now.
"You can't get undressed in the dark?"
"I can get undressed...getting dressed is another matter." I replied jokingly.
"Don't worry about getting dressed. I like you better naked." She replied seductively.
I laughed. It was very rare Paige actually made a seductively comment to me. She usually played little miss innocent. I turned off the light. I then quickly remove every article of clothing I had on.
"Alright, finished." I said proudly and I instantly heard Paige laugh.
"Now get over here." She said. I could see her figure in the dark. She was sitting up in bed with the covers over her waist. She was using her finger to motion me over. I smiled and jump on top of her. Her mixture of a scream and giggle sent waves through me. Paige didn't know it yet...but she was in for a long night.

The past few months had been tight. We barely had any money for anything. How we even managed to pay the bill was beyond me. Paige was out of college now and we were living together in Toronto while I finished my last year. Paige was working in a temporary office job while I finished my studies. When I graduated we would move and Paige would find a higher paying job somewhere else. I was also working at some local store. I was used to never having any money...but Paige obviously wasn't. It had been weeks since she had even mentioned going to the mall. She knew she wouldn't be able to afford anything. So, when I found a new job that would guarantee lots of money I was hoping Paige would be excited. I was hoping she would be able to overlook what my new profession was. I was wrong.
"A stripper!" She yelled.
"Flexible hours and we need the extra money." I argued back.
"Yes, but a stripper!" She repeated.
"But the plus...money." I smiled hoping she would fall prey to my undeniable cuteness.
"No." She shook her head. "What am I going to tell people?" She questioned.
"Tell people?" I asked not sure what she was getting at.
"Hi, this is Alex, my girlfriend, she's a stripper." Paige pretended to introduce me no one. She was completely over reacting and I couldn't help but find it adorable.
"Sweetie," I began taking her hands in mine and pulling her close to me. She didn't resist.
"It's not forever...just until we find something better. We need the money. You know it...I know it...I'm doing this for us."
She looked up at me with her puppy dog eyes. I knew she was still bothered by it...but she couldn't argue.
"And besides," I continued, "You should consider yourself lucky to be dating a stripper. Not many guys can even say that."
She laughed at my comment. She pulled herself from my grip and wrapped her arms around my waist. She laid her head on my shoulder and I could feel her breathe on my neck.
"You're right, I guess." She said. My arms took their rightful place around her and we embraced tightly.
Paige sighed, "But I still don't like it."

This was chapter 1. Since I don't like to rush into things...I'll do alittle bit of a build up to her actually being a stripper. I figured the interview and what not was not to imporant...everyone know's Alex isn't ugly and has a good body...so her getting the job shouldn't be that hard to imagine. Anyway, the next few chapters should start getting really interesting...I'm working on a few others stories at the moment but I'll try to update soon. And I also might expand this chapter later if I feel like getting more detailed.
