Again, thank you so much to people who reviewed! I always doubt whether I'm it's good or not, so the reviews really help! :)
Spinner's car, after dinner:
"I can't believe you took me to Chateau La Mer!" Paige exclaimed.
"I told you you'd enjoy the surprise." Spinner said, grinning.
"Yea, well I have a surprise for you too." Paige said, smiling mysteriously.
"Really? When will I find out?"
"Oh, when we get back to my house. My parents are away this weekend and Dylan's staying at a friend's house, so we have the house to ourselves."
"Sounds great!" he said, winking.
"What are you implying honeybee?" Paige asked, flirtatiously.
"Nothing." Spinner replied, still smiling.
He switched the radio on and started to drive. They were both pretty quiet during the car ride, each thinking about their feelings.
Spinner was considering if they were really ready to take the next step, but he knew he loved Paige and would do anything to show her that.
Meanwhile, Paige wasn't quite so sure. 'I love him and he loves me,' she thought to herself, 'I need to do this to prove that I can. I can't let Dean hold me back forever.'
Once they got to her house, Spinner jumped out of the car and opened the door for Paige. She gave him a weird look and thought 'what was that for?' but out loud she just said "Merci Monsieur!"
When they got inside they went straight up to Paige's room. At first it was a little awkward, but they soon relaxed.
Paige was laying face up on the bed, with Spinner leaning over her and they started to kiss. As Spinner's hands rested on her shoulders, she suddenly got a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. She remembered who she was with the last time she had been in this position.
"Spinner, stop!" Paige said frantically.
He lifted himself up slightly and looked confused. She pushed him off and got off the bed saying "I- I can't- I can't do this!"
"Paige-" he started.
"Spin, go home please."
"But-"
"No, please. I can't, I'm not ready. I thought I was, but I'm not."
He stood there looking at her, not knowing what to say.
"It's ok, I..."
"No it's not, it's not okay Spinner!"
Her heart was beating fast and she was having trouble breathing. Her arms felt numb and she began to feel dizzy.
She ran into the adjoining bathroom, locked the door and started crying. Spinner knocked on the door several times and tried to get her to come out, but she wouldn't move.
"Just leave me alone!" Paige shouted.
Reluctantly Spinner went home and decided he'd give her some time to calm and down and call her in the morning.
She heard him leave, closed her eyes and counted to 10, while trying to relax.
A half hour later, Paige threw on her pajamas and went to bed. She lay awake in bed until nearly 3am thinking about how she had really messed up their night. 'How can I still let Dean bother me? Why can't I move on? What happened when Spinner touched me? Why did I freak out?'
She eventually became overwhelmed by the thoughts and was so exhausted she fell asleep.
Paige ignored Spinner's phone calls all weekend. Dylan questioned her, but Paige just lied and said she had too much homework. Of course, Dylan didn't buy that excuse.
"You wanna know the truth?" she asked him, "Fine. Spinner and I had a fight and I don't feel like talking to him, so just drop it okay?!" she said angrily.
Sunday night as she was trying to fall asleep, thoughts were running through her head, keeping her awake. 'How can I face Spinner at school tomorrow?' 'What will he tell everyone about what happened?' 'What will I say we did?' 'I so wish I didn't have to deal with this right now.'
While still worrying about her friends' reactions she fell asleep.
