Chapter 10: Girlfriend Coupons
Emily's Pov-
"Emily wake up!" Paige's voice almost screamed in a very panic like tone.
"What is it?" I said as I sat up in Paige's bed as I saw her getting dressed in a really stressed way.
"It's your parents Em, they are right outside the front door and they are about to enter!" Paige said as she struggled to put her pants on.
"Oh god." I said as I jumped out of Paige's bed.
I ran up to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Paige what am I going to do? I'm not ready to tell them." I said. I panicked as I could imagine how disappointed my parents would be if I told them I was gay, they would probably never want to see me again.
Paige quickly looked around and then she ran to her closet and. "You'll have to hide in here." Paige said and opened it for me to run into.
How ironic. I quickly ran into the closet and Paige was about to close the door she stopped herself and looked at me, I could see in her eyes that she was just as worried as I was.
"Emily, now it's very important that you stand absolutely still." Paige said and I nodded as she suddenly pointed to a shelf above my head. "Because that shelf with my bowling balls is a bit loose." Paige continued.
"Wait what?" I whispered as Paige slammed the closet door shut in front of me.
It felt like I was hiding from the killer in a slasher movie. I sat there very quiet and silently praying that nothing or no one would bump into the closet.
"EARTHQUACKE!" Paige suddenly screamed as I felt the closet start shaking and I ran out of it in panic just to see Paige standing next to the closet and laugh.
I looked around and realized that my parents wasn't here and that there was no bowling balls on the shelf in Paige's closet.
"Not funny!" I said to Paige, giving her a very stern look, but Paige just kept laughing and she held her sides as she almost dropped to the floor.
"Paige!" I yelled and Paige cleared her throat still fighting to repress her laughter.
"You got a really strange humor." I said, I wanted to be mad and scream at Paige but I couldn't.
"Never do that again." I said forcing myself to talk in a very stern voice.
"Ok, I promise." Paige said still fighting to not laugh.
I pouted and turned away from Paige.
"Em, please it was just a joke." Paige said, now she sounded more worried that I was mad at her. I kept my back turned as Paige walked up behind me. "Em I'm sorry." Paige said and wrapped her arms around me, giving me a hug from behind, she rested her head on my shoulder and said in a whimpering voice. "Please forgive me."
I looked to Paige and smiled. She smiled back and gave me a light kiss.
We stood like that for a long time, her resting her head on my shoulder and holding me firmly but gently.
"So, got any plans for today?" I asked her.
"No, why?" She asked.
"I think I have something in mind." I said and looked smilingly into Paige's eyes as I kissed her.
Later:
"Yes, nailed it in two shots!" I said as I jumped a bit by excitement.
"Didn't thought you'd be that much into mini-golf." Paige said.
"Just something I used to play with some persons… before I started to date them." I said teasingly.
"So are you going to hit your ball?" I asked as Paige stepped up to the lane holding her club. "It feels like I'm boosting a stereotype doing this." Paige said as she put her golf ball in place.
Paige took a deep breath as she held her club ready to hit the ball, then suddenly she tripped and her golf ball flew of the land and landed in a small water fountain.
"What happened?" Paige asked, not so sure on what had happened.
I walked up to her and said "I think you just broke the stereotype." Doing my best at suppressing my laughter but before I managed to finish the word 'stereotype' I could no longer hold it back. I laughed so hard I had to hold onto Paige for balance.
"Laugh it up." Paige said as I kept leaning onto her for balance.
When I had calmed down Paige looked at the lanes and asked. "How many more lanes are there?"
"It's a total of 18 lanes." I said and Paige groaned as she picked up her golf ball and attempted for another putt.
"Damnit!" Paige yelled as she hit her golf ball too hard again and it fell off the lane.
"You're holding you club wrong." I said and then I picked up the golf ball and placed it on the lane.
"Hold it like this." I said as I walked up behind Paige standing so close there was no space between us, I leaned close behind her and put my hands on her arms and rested my head on her shoulder. "Now swing the club gently backwards." I whispered into Paige's ear as I moved my hands to Paige's wrists and made her move her arms back.
"Now take a deep breath and hold it in." I instructed and as Paige did so I felt her back press into my front. "Now hit the golf ball." I whispered and Paige swung her golf club and she hit the golf ball perfectly as it rolled over the small hill and lost some of its speed until it rolled past the top of the hill and rolled down gaining speed and rolled all the way into the hole.
"Nice, you got it in one shot." I said and looked at Paige who looked like she had no idea what had happened.
"Hey, Paige." I said and snapped my fingers in front of her face and she jumped like I she just had awakened from a daydream. I smiled as Paige blushed.
We kept playing golf and Paige really was a terrible golfer, she defiantly broke the stereotype about lesbian pro golfers.
Right now I was returning the clubs and Paige walked up to buy some snacks.
"Hi, I'll have two snow cones." Paige said and the woman behind the counter smiled back at Paige.
"Ok, what flavor? We got orange, kiwi, lemon and 'passion' fruit." The cashier said putting emphasis on the word passion.
"I think I'll have two orange." Paige said.
"Sure, coming right up." The cashier said and I swear she winked at Paige.
Paige seemed unaware that that cashier lady was flirting with her but I knew exactly what was going on and I wasn't going to take it anymore.
I walked up to Paige and put my arm around her waist and said "Hi, baby wanna go to your place after this." I marked Paige as my territory like most girls would do with their boyfriends when I was around.
"The girl seemed to take the hint, she acted like Paige was any other customer when I had my arm around her.
When we left with our snow cones Paige looked at me with a sneaky smile on her face.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You got jealous." Paige said teasingly.
"No I wasn't." I lied.
"Really? You hugged me tighter than a snake." Paige said and playfully showed me.
"Did not." I said and pouted.
"Yes, you did." Paige said teasingly.
"Come on, I didn't even hug you that hard." I said.
"So you admit you hugged me hard." Paige said.
"No I didn't… Shut up!" I said blushing.
Paige leaned closer towards me and she rested her head on my shoulder. "You care so much about us." Paige said but I just remained silent.
"It's cute too see that you care." Paige said but I remained silent.
"Come on Em, you don't have to be jealous. You're the only one I want." Paige said.
"Please Em, say something." Paige said then she did something I didn't expected, she pressed her snow cone against my cheek and really smeared it over the left side of my face, the cold made me lose the feeling from my face.
"Paige!" I yelled as I jumped back and rubbed my cheek.
"Are you crazy?" I said very surprised over Paige just had done.
"Yes." Paige said.
"Ok, that's it McCullers." I said and grabbed my snow cone and threw it at her (like it was a snowball). I almost laughed as it exploded all over Paige's face once I hit my target.
"Bullseye." I said smiling.
Paige suddenly fell down to her knees and rubbed her eyes, she looked like she was in great pain.
"Oh god Paige I'm… I'm so sorry I didn't meant to…" I said as I walked up to Paige who was covering her face with her hands.
"Paige I'm so sorry." I said I didn't knew what else to say as I watched her, I put my hand on her back and felt her flinching away from me.
"You're right, I got jealous." I said. "When I saw that woman being flirty towards you I got worried you'd leave me for her." I said as I tried to get Paige to look at me.
"I'm so sorry" I said feeling worse than awful.
"Emily." I suddenly heard Paige mumble.
"Yes Paige, what is it?" I said concerned.
"Did you mean it?" Paige asked.
"Yes, I got worried you'd leave me since I'm still not out yet." I said.
"So you were jealous." Paige said moving her hands away from her face to reveal she wasn't crying.
"You tricked me." I said.
"I know and it was so easy." Paige said and laughed.
"Ok, now you're going down for real." I said.
"Better catch me first." Paige said and jumped up to her feet and started to run but I wasn't going to let her get away that easily. I quickly ran after her determent to catch her.
Later:
After an afternoon of chasing Paige we both gave up from exhaustion, we walked to my dorm since that place were closest. I didn't cared where I was just as long as I could sit down and I know Paige thought the same.
"Damn Fields, you sure can run." Paige said.
"So can you." I said between my heavy breathings as I flopped down on my bed letting out a sigh of exhaust.
I breathed heavily as I lay on top of my bed and then I felt Paige laying down next to me. I looked over to her and saw her breathing just as heavy as I did and her face glistered a little.
As I looked into her eyes she smiled and we kissed lightly.
"Em, there is something I have to tell you." Paige said.
"What is it?" I asked and pulled Paige in closer to me.
"I'm going to go away for a week." Paige said.
"Oh." Was all I could bare myself to say.
"Ashley is going on a swim tournament and she wants me to come with her." Paige said.
"You're going to leave me?" I said and touched her cheek.
"I'll come back in a week." Paige said and then she handed me an envelope.
"What is this?" I asked holding the envelope up so I could see it clearly.
"Just a gift, but don't open it until I've gone." Paige said.
"I didn't knew we were already exchanging gifts." I said.
"I know, that's why you can't use all of them yet." Paige said teasingly.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You'll see." Paige said.
We stayed in my bed and watched a movie until Paige had to leave, before she left we had a sweet goodbye kiss but when she had left reality hit me like a ton of bricks, I wasn't going to hang out with her for a full week now.
Then I remembered the envelope Paige gave me. I opened it and inside it there was a note and a homemade coupon booklet.
The note said:
Hi Em, I hope you like my girlfriend coupons, here is how they work. You are free to use the green once whenever you want, if you want to use the blue once you need to tell people we are a couple, the red once are planned events and you also need to be out of the closes to use them and I'll need a weeks' notice before you are going to use one of them. And as for the black one you'll also already have to come out before you use it but once you're out you can use it whenever you want and no matter what I'm doing.
XXX Paige.
I checked the coupon booklet, the green coupons where mostly one free hugs or gentle kisses, the blue coupons where cooked meals, movie nights and similar things. When I checked the blue once I couldn't help but blush when I checked the blue coupons, they were really nice things like beach trips, picnics and road trips.
As I read halfway through most of them I couldn't hold back my curiosity, I jumped to the one final coupon (the black one) and I gasped as I read it:
One free naughty wish.
"Oh my god!" I blurted out as I read it a few more times, I didn't expect Paige to make such a daring move.
My god, Paige might either be the best thing that will happened to me or she'll be the death of me.
