Just Might (Make Me Believe)

The next morning Paige woke up and noticed that Lita wasn't there. She rolled over and saw that the clock said, "9:49 am." Paige got up and wondered to the living room. She smiled as she walked over to the couch.

"What are you doing?" Paige sleepily asked as she sat down next to Lita on the couch.

"Watching useless people attempt to cook food," Lita responded as laid her head on her girlfriend's shoulder. "How did you sleep?" Lita asked as she grabbed a hold of Paige's hand. "Do you know that you permanently attach yourself to me when you sleep? I wonder when you started that."

"No, I didn't know that," Paige climbed into Lita's lap, "but you are comfortable."

"I am?"

Paige nodded, "Yep you are."

Lita sat there for a few moments trying to concentrate on the show she was watching, but it was difficult when someone was kissing your neck. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Paige whispered into Lita's neck before continuing.

"Are you thinking dirty thoughts right now?" Lita was already mentally kicking herself for what she was going to say next, "Because I thought we weren't going to rush things. This is rushing." It wasn't that Lita didn't enjoy it, but she didn't want Paige to think she had to rush everything just to keep her.

Paige sighed because she knew that Lita was right. "I can't help it," she said as she sat back on the couch.

"I know," Lita smiled because she had been thinking about doing the same thing.

They decided that they were going to spend the day at the apartment. The couple knew that they should have gone to Rei's for the meeting, but they just didn't feel like it. It wasn't until 6:45 pm that they heard a knock on the front door. Paige reluctantly got up off the couch and answered the door.

"Ruka and Michiru," Paige said, "come on in."

"Thanks," Michiru said. She was trying not to laugh at the annoyed look that Paige had on her face. "I hope we are not interrupting anything."

Paige blushed as she shook her head, "No you're not."

Haruka laughed, "If we are not interrupting, where is Lita?"

"She is probably in the kitchen." Paige didn't know what was so funny, "We thought that the girls were here." The three of them walked over to the couch and sat down. After a couple of seconds, Paige said, "I'm gonna go se-"

"Sorry I was in the bathroom," Lita stated as she sat down next to Paige.

"You two missed the meeting today," Michiru said.

"We know that, but we were lying on the couch watching television and sleeping." It wasn't exactly a lie, but Lita was not about to tell them what had happened earlier. She didn't need Haruka knowing that.

"They know," Haruka blurted out. She felt bad about telling them they way she did, but she couldn't afford not telling them.

"How?" Paige was scared. She didn't think that they would catch on so quickly.

"You two missed the meeting and they now know," Haruka was glad when Michiru grabbed a hold of her hand and squeezed it to let her know that it's fine. After a couple of moments, Haruka said, "I told them that you guys were unpacking and lost track of time. So if they ask tell them that."

"Ruka, are you sure?" Paige quietly asked.

"Yes, kitten, I am. Serena tried to get me to tell them, but I didn't."

"Ruka and I told them that if there is something going on that you didn't tell us," Michiru truly felt bad for them. She just wished that they wouldn't be so afraid of this, but understood why they were. "I told them that Paige just wanted to live here rather than living with her parents. They seemed to buy it."

It's just day to day tryin' to make ends meet

What I'd give for an address on easy street

I need a deep margarita to help me unwind

Leave my troubles behind…

"I can't believe them! I can't believe that they w," Lita was so angry that she left the room instead of finishing her sentence.

"Kitten, we wanted to tell you so that you knew. We're going to go."

"Thanks guys," Paige said as they walked toward the door.

Michiru gave Paige a hug and said, "Don't end this relationship because of them. Don't give up. You need Lita just as much as she needs you."

"I know," Paige knew that she shouldn't be upset as she was, but then again she was just glad to have someone looking out for her. "Thanks Michiru."

Once they were gone, Paige locked the door. She leaned against it because she didn't know what to say to her girlfriend. After a few moments, Paige walked to the bedroom not knowing what to expect from Lita. As soon as she reached the bedroom, she felt her heart break at the sight of Lita lying on the bed crying.

"Sweetie," Paige said as she rushed over to the bed. "Lita," she said as she sat down on the bed. The moment that Paige sat down, Lita was in her arm's crying even harder.

"How c-could they?" She sobbed.

"I don't know." Lita tighten her grip and Paige said, "It's just the way they are. We knew what we were doing when we started our relationship." She felt her nod. "I don't care what they think."

"You don't?" Lita quietly asked.

"Nope, I don't. I mean that we should keep this a secret for the team, but other than that I don't care."

Lita sat up and looked at Paige, "What changed your mind?"

"You did," Paige said as she wiped tears away from the emerald-green eyes she loved so much.

"Me?" Lita could not believe that she did that.

"Yep, you kept telling me that it didn't matter if they thought that something was going on. It took a couple of days and some serious thinking, but you're right."

"Should we have gone to the meeting?"

"Probably, but I had more fun here with you than sitting there listening to them," Paige said with a smile on her face.

"Me too," Lita wrapped her arms back around Paige, "I'm sorry for walking out of the room earlier. I was upset and I …"

"You don't have to explain anything," Paige said she ran her fingers through her girlfriend's ponytail.

The two of them sat like that for another ten minutes before deciding that they needed to unpack a few more things in case the girls stopped by to check out Haruka's excuse. After that they decided to head off to bed. Strangely, Paige wasn't nervous tonight at all. In fact all she wanted to do was go to sleep in Lita's arms.

Lita smiled when she felt Paige's head on her shoulder. After a few moments, Lita asked, "Are you happy?"

"Yeah," Paige replied with a sleepy voice, "I am."

"That's good," Lita laughed when she heard her girlfriend softly snore, "because I am happy too." That night sleep did not come very well for the thunder senshi.

Hopefully this chapter wasn't confusing. Let me know what you guys think.
