WAIGE - FINISH THE TALK part10
Hi (again?) ! You must wonder what is happening for me to update so often ahah. I just got my inspiration back and want to please you (I hope I do!). Enjoy chapter 10 :)
Paige POV.
The day I spent with Walter and Ralph was exactly what I needed to get myself the peace of mind I lacked lately. Watching the two of them being overexcited over things that were beyond my understanding somehow made me calm. After some time at the beach an excursion to the science museum, I was too tired to make us dinner so Walter took us to Kovelsky's. We were really having a nice time when my phone rang on the table. I didn't reached it immediately, too busy deciding which desert I should have so Walter, obviously intrigued, opened the text I just received.
« Hope you talked to him, I'm waiting for you to call tomorrow impatiently. You know my mama always said life was a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Friendly, Cole. »
I froze as Walter read the text. How could he get it.
« Well, that's nice. Nice metaphor and all… »
« Walter that's a quote from Forrest Gu… »
« I don't really care from which stupid movie he got that line. What does that mean? »
« Please Walter listen to me. »
Dear god how could I put it. It was really no big deal but I had to choose carefully my words.
« Oh I'm all ears. »
Walter POV.
Seing this text felt like a cold shower after this warm day. She told me she wouldn't talk to him again. I know he didn't seem to be a bad guy but I didn't understand the point of being friend with a so boring person. So … normal. Plus I couldn't quiet manage to get the implied meaning of this. Was he referring to me by 'him'? If so, what was Paige supposed to talk to me about?
« Cole called me this morning, »
« Why didn't you tell me? »
« I asked you to listen to me Walter please let me finish. »
She said that with some kind of authority that forced me into silence.
« I didn't told you immediately because… I don't know, Toby was here and then there was this perspective of a nice day with the two men of my life, I didn't want to bring it up yet. Anyway, Cole asked me if we could still see each other as friends even if I didn't go to night class again. So I said I would talk about it with you because I wanted to know how you felt about it. »
Haring her refer to Ralph and me as the two men of her life smoothened me, but still…
« You know how I feel about it. You don't need to see him, you already have friends. »
« Walter of course everyone in the cyclone is my friend, but this is different. It's nice to have someone other than a genius sometimes. He is my friend too and you can't forbid me to see a friend. Nobody said anything when you became friend with Ray. »
« Ray was you friend too. »
« Yeah, sure, but who brought him to Scorpion? Who knows, maybe you could be friend with Cole too. »
« Why are you asking me how I feel about it if you already made your mind? »
Paige POV.
It was so hard to explain him with words he would get. He may be a genius but there are so many things he doesn't understand. I was beginning to feel angry at him for being angry at me but I tried to calm myself because I knew it would lead nowhere.
« Because you are my boyfriend Walter and you have every right to know who I see, just don't tell me to stop seing someone for no reason. »
« Would you tell him you're not going to see him again if I asked you to? »
« I don't know Walter! » I was beginning to lose my temper now. « I don't want a jealous boyfriend but… »
« I'm not being jealous. »
« Sure you are! Would we even have to discuss this if I wanted to see a girl friend of mine? »
He paused, probably realizing I was right.
« I need to think. Alone. »
And with that he left the dinner.
Walter POV.
Too many thoughts were rushing through my mind. I had to talk to Toby, he may be an ass sometimes but he would be able to tell me what to do. I got in my car when I saw Paige running to me with Ralph. Maybe she changed her mind. Maybe she would tell me that she didn't need to have any male friends but me.
« You got us here. I don't have a car to go home. » she said in a very calm tone.
« Oh. Right. I'll drive you home. »
The car ride was very quiet. Occasionally, I took a brief look at her but she was looking outside the whole time. Ralph must have understand something was wrong because he didn't talk either. When we got to her home. She left the car still without a word and I decided to escort her to her door.
« Give me the night to sleep on it Paige. I'll see you tomorrow? » I said expectantly.
She seemed to hesitate but she eventually drop a kiss on my cheek.
« Don't think too much. »
And with this she went inside and closed her door. I regretted immediately to have gotten upset about this. Of course I didn't like the idea of her seing this Cole guy, but if the price to pay was to spend a night without her, then it wasn't worth it. I stayed in front of her door for a few minutes, oblivious to the outside world, just thinking about a rational thing to do now but I couldn't seem to find the answer. So I did something irrational and I knocked on her door. I heard her coming to open as my heart beat fastened.
Paige POV.
Who could it be knocking at my door at this time of the evening? I looked into the peephole to see…
« Walter? What are you doing? »
« I missed you. »
« But it's just been five minutes. »
« I know. »
God he was so cute. Seing him like this could make me forgive anything. He came in before I had the time to tell him to so I just closed the door behind him and waited for him to talk.
« I'm sorry Paige. I don't want you to be mad at me. »
« I'm not mad at you. You're the one who said you needed time alone remember? »
« And I was stupid. I don't want to spend a minute away from you. »
My heart skipped a beat at his words. I wasn't used to him saying things like this so naturally. I guess I didn't realized all the progress he made since we first met.
« I still don't understand you need to make friends and everything but… I can try to let you explain because I get the world better when you talk about it and… I'm willing to let you see Cole if it makes you happy because … You make me want to be a better man. »
As soon as he was finished, I pulled him into a tight hug, never wanting to let him go. Then I felt him mumble into my hair.
« See what I did here? I quoted a movie. As good as it gets. »
I burst into laughter and even though I knew everything won't always be perfect between us, we could manage to overcome anything together.
Yeaaah, I know, I can't help keeping them fluffy and all in the end. It's because I miss fluffiness in the show so much I need to write this ahah. I hope season 3 will come with Waige scenes, because from what I saw in the trailer, I'm afraid Walter and Paige will leave unfinished talk again :(
Anyway, I'm heading to my integration party from school now, if I ever wake up someday I hope to read a lot of reviews from you reader, with what you would like to see next :)
