Teasing Levi
Whatever Briggs was up to, she was sure it would be something genius. Fruit platter in hand, she climbed the stairs and passed by Donnie's room.
"Oh, right..." she whispered to herself.
She forgot that he wasn't there, and Mike was currently occupying the room. It was late, but it looked like he was still awake because she could see the light peeking from underneath the door.
She sighed and made her way into her room, setting the fruit down on her desk. Bobby Moi was such a pig, and she needed to shower before sleep. A knock on her door snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Come in."
"Hi, Paige."
"Hey, Levi. What's up?"
"It's Mike, thanks. Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure. What about?"
Mike entered the room and closed the door.
"Did Lauren have a thing with Donnie?"
Paige was half-impressed that the rookie was observant and caught on quickly. But she wasn't going to give him a straight answer that easily.
"What makes you say that?"
"She seemed offended that I was taking Donnie's room. I know I'm the new guy here, but I get the feeling it's not because of that."
Sub-consciously persistent, too.
"He's DEA. Donnie is a great agent, and we're both disappointed that he's not here right now."
"Oh..." Mike looked at the floor, unsure of what to say next. The last thing he wanted was to embarrass himself with any more assumptions.
"But..." Paige broke the silence. "...yes, they were an item, and they were pretty bad at keeping it a secret."
Mike chuckled. "I'll be sure to stay out of her way then. And not move too much of Donnie's stuff around."
"Smart man." Paige smiled.
"Okay, I'll leave you alone now. Good night, Paige." Mike turned and made his way out.
"Night, Levi." she smirked.
"It's Mike..." she heard him say again through the closed door.
She picked up another grape and popped it into her mouth. Teasing him was going to be so much fun.
