SCORPION - Giving in - 2 parts story
So I know that I have Gravity to update and that I already made a one shot after the last episode but after seing the promo for next episode and discussing it with fellow Scorpion lovers, I just spend three days thinking about this story and I had to get it out of my mind.
Special thanks to nicoledbishop for giving me the inspiration for this, I have to say I owe you my storyline there !
I didn't put it with my other one shots because it has a slight M rating for some smut, you're warned ;)
It had been a month since Walter asked Paige to step back from the team. And although he was pretending to be okay and not to regret his decision, he did miss Paige a lot. He was the one asking her to leave and despite that he still stared at the entrance of the garage every morning, hopping she would appear with Ralph, like nothing happened, and would sit at her desk, where she truly belonged. But her desk was now empty and Walter convinced himself that it was for the best, that even if it hurt to be without her, it would hurt more to see her walking in here every day knowing that she lied to him and let him down after he poured his heart out to her.
And yet here she was, at Toby and Happy's wedding, more beautiful than ever, making him forget all logic that made him take this decision. He had to talk to her, to take his last shot at being honest. He had nothing left to loose after all, and this was the perfect opportunity for them to discuss in a not too tensed environment.
Walter gathered his courage and approached Paige who was talking with Ray. She saw him coming and gave him a glance as to say that he'd better change his direction but he didn't care, if he didn't do it now he would never.
« Hum hi Ray, hi Paige. »
« Hey old pal! » greeted Ray with a big smile. But then he saw the looks Walter and Paige were giving each other and figured he was in the middle of something. « I uh would have loved to catch up with you but I just remembered that Toby asked me to um… do… something you know. I'll see you later, it was a pleasure talking to you Paige. »
Paige nodded giving him a faint smile and then focused her gaze on Walter again.
« What do you want Walter? »
« Can we talk? »
« Well I'm listening to you. »
She was very cold but Walter prepared himself for this, he didn't really expected her to give him a hug and be happy about him talking to her.
« I uh… I want you to know how sorry I am. I never intended to hurt you I just… well I was a little bit mad and I thought that it was the good solution to prevent us from hurting each other more. Clearly it wasn't… »
« Oh you think so? »
« Paige I understand why you're upset and you have every right to be but please put yourself in my position, I opened my heart to you and I felt so embarrassed knowing that you… that you knew this whole time and… anyway Paige I made a mistake and I miss you. And I'm tired of us hiding things from each other so if I have to be totally honest with you so you can come back, well I'm ready to tell you the truth about why it hurt me so bad and yet I'm still here, begging you to forgive me. »
Paige went through all kinds of emotions while Walter was talking, from anger to sorrow, but now she was mostly curious about what he implied.
« What do you mean the truth? »
Walter took a deep breath and looked into Paige's eyes.
« The truth Paige is that… I'm in love with you. »
Paige was paralyzed at his words. Did she hear right? He said it so easily, even her never could declare her love to anyone like this.
Walter him, was surprised about how good it felt to finally say it out loud, fully conscious and sure that she was listening to him. It was actually the most accurate statement he ever phrased. A pure fact : he was in love with Paige and he would always be no matter what.
Paige didn't say a word for at least twenty second but he didn't mind. He got used to the idea that maybe she didn't feel the same, but at least now he could say that she knew everything, that he wasn't hiding anything from her anymore. But then Paige cleared her throat and finally spoke.
« Walter would you mind um… if we continued this talk in a more… private place? »
« Oh. I'm sorry if this wasn't the right time, I guess we can… continue this some other time yes… »
« No I didn't mean later I meant right now but somewhere no-one can hear us. »
Walter was surprised about Paige request but he nodded, following her wherever she was taking him. He was actually a little bit afraid that she didn't want anyone to hear them because she intended shouting at him but well, he had been the one initiating the talk.
Paige opened the door of a small shed Walter didn't even know was here and entered it. Walter carefully stepped in behind her and next thing he knew, Paige was pushing him against the door and her lips were pressing on his.
Walter made a few seconds to realize what hit him but he wasn't long to reciprocate the kiss and totally give himself to the moment. This kiss was different from the first one they shared, and from every other kiss he experienced before. It was wild and heated, finally putting an end to all these talks for nothing, all this resentment and letting the place for the lust possessing both of them for a while now. It was like they had to catch up for the three years of frustration behind them, they barely took the time to breathe between kisses and when Paige pulled out from Walter, it was only to focus on undoing his tie and unbutton his shirt.
Under other circumstances, Walter would have froze right away, but with her it felt so right that he just let her pursue while he started kissing her jawline. His hands were traveling down her back and found her hips where he paused for a second. Walter looked inside Paige's eyes and he saw they were both looking for each other agreement to go further. They didn't even have to speak, they belonged to each other right here, right now and for once they were sure of each other's feelings.
Walter lifted Paige's hips and she surrounded his waist with it. He moved her to what looked like a table and sat her there while she worked on his belt. But Walter took her hands in his and before she could ask if something was wrong, he took the time to kiss her slowly. He wanted her to understand that not only he wanted this, but he wanted it all. Paige smiled against Walter's lips and he felt her cheeks wet from tears so he took a step back, having troubles understanding those mixed signals.
« It's okay Walter, come here. »
Walter didn't need more to come back to his task, kissing Paige's neck and hearing her loud breath in his ear while he gently passed his hands under her robe. He did everything very slowly, making sure she could stop him anytime, but she didn't so he just lowered her pants down to her ankles.
He touched her and felt she was already really wet, and as much as he would have liked to take things one step at a time, he thought that they were both aroused enough at this point. Besides the place wasn't exactly ideal and they didn't have much time if they didn't wanted their friends to start looking for them.
So Walter dropped his pants too, adjusted himself between Paige's thighs and started his in and outs.
He usually couldn't tell if he pleased the girl he was having sex with but judging from her reactions, Paige really seemed to enjoy him. She was hugging him, her hands tightly gripping his back like her life depended on it and the only thing that could come out of her mouth at this point was Walter's name.
Walter didn't know how long it took them to get to the edge, he lost all notion of time at this point, but here they were, breathing heavily after finally surrendering themselves to each other. Paige rested her head on Walter's chest and he breathed into her hairs, trying to clear his thoughts.
After maybe a minute of silence, Paige moved slightly away from Walter and he noticed she had troubles looking right at him.
« Walter I… »
Before she could say anything, Walter's phone rang and he quickly pulled up his pants and took his cell from his jacket's pocket.
« This is Cabe I uh… I'd better get this they are probably um… looking for us. »
Paige nodded and Walter picked up the call while he was clumsily putting his shirt back on.
« Cabe? »
« Son where the hell are you? I've been looking for you for god only knows how long. »
« I uh… needed to be alone for a while. »
« Oh, so you're not with Paige? We're looking for her too. »
« Paige? Uh no I… Well I haven't seen her. »
« Well you'd better get your ass here, we have an urgent case. »
« What? Right now? »
« This is a matter of life and death kid, I'll explain you on the plane. »
« The… the plane? »
« Stop asking questions and move here. NOW. »
After what Cabe hung up, leaving Walter in a total panic.
« What is it? » asked Paige.
« There is an emergency, it's a matter of lie or death apparently. I have to go. »
Walter was dressing up as fast as he could, trying not to look to depraved. Paige also got herself together and followed Walter as he was coming out of the shed.
« Walter wait I'm coming with you. »
« What? But… »
« You said that you wanted me to come back. So if I still have my job at Scorpion I'm coming with you. »
Walter wasn't ready to argue with her after what they just did, and besides Cabe really made it sound like it was urgent so he just agreed and they both went back to the main place of the wedding to join the rest of the team.
So I want to do a second chapter with how they end up on the island and how Paige and Walter talk through what happened between them, I hope I'll have the time before the episode.
I hope you enjoyed this first part and if so, please leave a review :)
