Ch 11- "Reunited and it feels so good..."
"Ash, I swear to God I'll pay you back," Spinner promised a hour and half later.
"As I told Paige, don't worry about it. It' s my donation to your wedding. Just-don't do it again." Spinner looked over at her and just suddenly reached over and gave her an excruciating hug and kissed her on the head.
"Spinner?" she called after him incredulously as he took off down the street. Spinner hugged?? Kissing heads? Who was this guy?
Spinner bounded up the stairs and barged into Paige's room and froze. Paige was sleeping...curled up in Ben's arms. He got arrested for her and this is what happens? All the sudden Ben stirred and jumped when he saw Spinner standing in the doorway, which jostled Paige woke her up.
"Spinn!!" she exclaimed happily when she saw him. He backed away slowly, not believing that this happened again.
"It's not what you think man," Ben said as he got up. "She fell asleep when we were talking that's all."
"Really?? I didn't know you talk while laying down," he replied bitterly.
"Spin," Paige said softly.
"No, save it. You broke up with me anyway remember?" he told her as he stalked away. Paige got up to follow him but Ben grabbed her arm.
"Give it time. Find him later." Paige just looked at him and then left to go find her fiancé.
"Dude, I'm just gonna forget her. That's all I can do right?" Spinner asked everyone that night at a bar. Craig just exchanged looks with Jimmy before taking another sip of his beer. They were going to be there a while; Spinner's trying to pretend to be over Paige.
"Spinn!" Paige's voice broke through Spinner's incessant ramblings.
"Oh great. This is gonna be good," Jimmy muttered as he settled back in his chair.
"What is your problem?" she asked sounding exasperated.
"You were sleeping with another man!! That sounds like a good enough reason to be pissed," he exclaimed.
"Oh my God!! You mean Ben? Do you seriously think that I would do anything with Ben? That's just grotesque. Ben's practically related to me."
"Well I'm sorry. I'm just not from Tennessee where it's ok for incestuous relationships!"
"Ugh! Grow up Gavin!!" she exclaimed using his first name. "If you think I would seriously go out and find someone else that quick, you're dumber than everyone thought," she snapped as she walked out of the bar.
"Wow. That was interesting," Marco remarked. "But I do agree with her. She wouldn't mess around on you. Even if she did 'break up' with you."
"Wait a minute- everyone thinks I'm stupid?" he asked suddenly as the last part of Paige's remark landed on him.
"Paige?" he asked softly that night as she was getting ready for bed.
"Yeah?" He pushed the door open to reveal Paige laying on her bed reading a magazine.
"I'm sorry about earlier," he apologized.
"Good. You should be," she said simply as she went back to her reading.
"That's all you have to say? I should be?"
"Well what do you want me to say? I didn't do anything."
"But-"
"Spinn, do you really think I could find somebody better for me than you?"
"Wait, does this mean that you wanna get back together?"
"I only broke up with you because of how pissed and hurt I was. You know I don't think clearly when that happens."
"So does this mean..."
"It means I love you Gavin Mason and I would love more than anything to be your wife." He crossed the threshold and no sooner was the last word out of her mouth than his lips on hers.
"Hey, have you seen Spinn?" Craig asked later that night.
"Yeah, I think he went to Paige's room." Craig nodded his thanks and bounded up the stairs and knocked on the door. When no one answered, he pushed open the door gently. He smiled softly when he saw Paige and Spinn sleeping soundly on the bed together. He shut off the light and gently shut the door.
A/N: i'm not saying that people in Tennessee have relationships like that....that's just a joke that me and my friends say. i'm sorry if anyone took offense to that...it was just a joke.
