Walter pulled up outside his flat ten minutes after leaving the farm , having broken every speed limit and most likely a few dozen other traffic regulations .
" That was fast Walter . " Paige stated , her nerves a little on edge . She trusted Walter with her life , but the drive from the farm , had her more scared than any Scorpion case she had ever been on .
" Well you did promise you would make me going to church with you , worth my while . I was impatient to find out what exactly you have in store for me . " Replied Walter with a big cheesy grin on his face .
" At times i thought i was back on the runway again , i think you should be punished for breaking all those traffic rules . DON'T YOU ! " Paige said in a very serious voice but with a big smile on her face .
" Yes please ." Was all that Walter could manage , even that was with a stutter .
" Then why are you still sitting there in the car . "
Within seconds Walter had undone his seat belt and was out of the car , he ran around the car and helped Paige out , shut the door and locked the car . He picked Paige up in his arms and carried her to the flat door . He had to put her down to open the flat door . Paige began to kiss the back of Walter's neck , Walter had managed to drop the keys , as he bent down to pick up the keys , Paige slapped him hard on his buttocks and whispered ,
" That's the start of your punishment . "
Walter eventually got the door open , he was quickly followed through the door by Paige who slammed the door shut .
Each step Walter took up the stairs ,Paige would slap his buttocks, first the right then the left . Once they reached the top they both headed straight for the bedroom .
As they entered the bedroom , clothes were discarded all over the floor , soon they were both naked . Walter grabbed Paige and crushed his lips on hers . They made their way to the bed .
Paige climbed climbed on top of Walter and began to punish Walter some more , she began kissing him on the neck and began working her way down his body , every time he tried to touch her she would slap his hands away . She kept this up for about five minutes , before rolling off Walter .
" I think that is enough punishment's , now it is time for some fun . " Paige said with a voice full of lust .
At 1.00am. both were covered in sweat and the smell of sexual pheromones filled the air , both were exhausted .
" You certainly made my church visit worth my while . " Said Walter in a husky voice .
" I was only to happy to oblige " Said Paige in an equally husky voice .
Walter managed to get out of bed to use the bathroom , with Paige telling him to be quick as she needed the bathroom as well . Walter was back in a couple of minutes and crawled into bed .
Paige was also back quickly , she also managed to crawl into bed , both were still naked . Paige curled up close to Walter's side and rested her head on his bare chest . After a couple of minutes Walter heard a low purring coming from Paige's mouth , she was already in a contented sleep . Walter was awake for nearly a hour before sleep over came him .
Both slept straight through , Walter was awake again at 6.00am. , his internal clock was working as normal . As usual Paige was still fast asleep , so Walter yet again just lay there waiting for her to wake up . It was nearly a hour before Paige stirred . She moved her head of Walter's chest and rolled onto her back .
" Good morning my love , thank you for last night , but i have to admit i feel a little sore down there . " She said as glanced down to between her legs .
" Good morning my Queen , it is i who should be thanking you and i am sorry to have made you sore . "
Paige reached across and pulled him close and planted a kiss on his lips . Once she broke the kiss , she said .
" Never apologize for making me sore down there , because it came from so much pleasure you gave me . "
Walter looked her in the eyes . " I will always try to give you pleasure as you always return it to me .
Once they had finished breakfast , Paige reminded Walter , although he did not really need one , that he had promised to take her to the library in Callen ..
Walter pulled up outside the library at 10.00am. Once inside Paige introduced herself to the lady behind the desk and explained what she was after . The lady , whose name was Rose , showed them the area to look and told them to fetch her if they needed anymore help .
Paige and Walter looked through the section , Paige came across what appeared to be more of a pamphlet on The Church of the Virgin Mary . They took it over to a table and Paige began reading .
" Well it would appear that the window was installed in 1870 and was designed by a well known artist of the time a Nathanill Westlake . The church was consecrated in 1872 . Paige was happy now she had the information .
Once they left the library , Paige suggested they try another walk around Callen . Walter agreed but held Paige's hand while walking around . They stopped at the bakers and bought a few cakes to take with them to the farm .
At twelve o'clock they decided to make their way to the farm . They were welcomed by Louise , Sean was out in the fields .
While waiting for lunch , Walter booked two one way tickets for Saturday 's 4.00pm. flight which will get them into LAX about 9.00pm. L.A. Time .
Louise served lunch , soup and sandwiches , during lunch Louise asked if they would be staying for their evening meal . Walter explained that they were going to visit Steve in hospital so they could say goodbye and tell him the computers were safe in one of the barns . As visiting hours were 7.30pm. to 8.30pm. they would have to leave about 6.45pm.
Louise understood but insisted they should have a light tea around 5.00pm. to keep them going .
After lunch Sean went out to check on his sheep , Paige and Walter decided to go for a walk . As they left the house Paige turned to Walter .
" One time you told me you had a hideaway in the barn , is it still there , if it is i would like to see it , would you show it to me ? "
Walter gave a little laugh , before answering .
" It is not exactly a hideaway , dad let me have a small space on the mezzanine floor in the barn , i am sure it must still be there . I had a chair , a desk and a mattress as sometime i would fall asleep , while watching the stars with my telescope . "
he walked her to the barn and pointed at a set of ladders fixed to the wall .
" There is not a lot of room , so you go up and take a look . "
Paige went up the ladder at the top she had to bend low to get on the floor , then she needed to get down on her hands and knees to move around the area . She came to Walter's desk and found a pile of notebooks , she opened one and began reading although she did not really understand it , it appeared to be information of star formations , they also included intricate diagrams of the stars formations and positions , for a boy of 13 , according to the date on the cover of the book . To her they were brilliant . She then realized it was the sort of thing Ralph was capable of . She grabbed four of the notebooks , determined to get Walter to explain to her exactly what the workings out were .
She managed to climb down the steps and rushed over to Walter , she gave him a kiss before speaking .
" Walter some of the work in your notebooks seem brilliant , would you care to try and explain some of these to me ? "
Walter's face broke out into a broad smile .
" I would be happy to explain them , how about we take a walk down to my favorite spot by the lake . Were it is nice and peaceful and i will see if i can make you understand them . "
Paige did not answer , just nodded her head , took hold of Walter's hand and began walking , it was not only Walter's favorite spot , it was now hers to , it was the spot were Walter proposed to her and made her the happiest woman in the world .
They spent a couple of hours sitting on the tree trunk , Paige listening to Walter explain but not really understanding , she just enjoyed the sound of his voice . On the way back to the farm Walter asked ,
" Would you be happy to stay at the farm until we return to the States ? "
" More than happy as long as mom and dad are alright about it . But why ? "
" I would like to close the flat up and give the landlord the keys back . I have no intention of returning back there , it may cost me as i will no doubt be charged for breaking my lease , before the end of the tenancy . "
" Lets not worry about the cost if that is what you want . We will do . " Replied Paige .
They arrived back at the farm ,just as Louise was setting the table for a light meal for the two of them .
" Did you have a nice walk ? " Asked Louise .
" It was lovely , we went down to the lake again and Walter tried to explain what he had written in his notebooks when he was 13 . " Replied Paige a smile on her face .
" But did you understand any of it ? " Queried Louise .
" Not at all , but i was content just to listen to Walter's voice as he explained what it was all about . "
Walter looked at her , a smug look on his face .
" You sat on that tree trunk all that time and did not understand anything . "
" Correct , but as i said i enjoyed just listening to your voice . "
Walter pulled her towards him and gave her a hug and a kiss on the lips .
" So that is how you show true love . " Asked an enquiring Walter .
Paige just nodded her head and returned the kiss .
Walter turned to Louise . " Mom would it be alright if we stayed with you until we return to the States , as i want to close up the flat and return the keys to the landlord . "
" Of course we would be pleased to have you stay . " Said Louise .
" Ok , we will pack everything up tomorrow , then come back here once we have finished . " Replied Walter .
Louise served them a tea of sandwiches , cake and coffee . Sean returned from the fields just as they had finished eating . Louise could not wait to tell him that they were coming to stay until they go back to the States .
Sean looked at both Paige and Walter . " I hope you are going to pay the going rate for bed and breakfast that is charged in Ireland . "
Walter was just going to reply when Paige whispered in Walter's ear . " He is joking . " As she said this a big smile broke out on Sean's face
" You two and Ralph will always be welcome in this house , no charge of course . "
Paige went over and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek . " Thank you , that means so much . "
Walter and Paige said their goodbyes to Sean and Louise at 6.45pm. and made their way to see Steve in the hospital . They parked up at 7.20pm. , by the time they arrived at the ward , the doors were open . Steve was still in the same bed and was pleased to see them .
Walter explained the computers and spares were safe in one of the barns at the farm . Paige told him the adventure on the Queen Mary and also , after Walter gave the ok , about saving the deer in Africa . Steve was again shocked , especially what Walter had to go through to board and stop the Tanker . When the bell rang they wished Steve well and promised next time they were in Ireland they would look him up .
They were back outside Walter's flat just before 9.00pm.
" Would you like to go to the Irish Harp for a drink and say goodbye to Lee ? " Walter asked.
" What a nice idea , i would very much like that . " Replied Paige
They entered the Irish Harp it was much quieter than Saturday night . Tonight just a few locals seated at various tables , Lee was at the bar and came over to them .
" Good evening Paige , Walter good to see you again , what can i get you ? "
" Good evening Lee , a red wine for me and a water for Walter . " Replied Paige .
Once he gave them their drinks he asked Paige .
" Any chance of you singing again some time soon ? "
" None i am afraid we are flying back to the States on Saturday . That is why we came tonight , tomorrow we are moving to Walter's parents farm . We just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for Saturday night , we all really enjoyed ourselves . "
" Well i know a lot of the regulars enjoyed your singing and have been asking for another performance . " Lee told her.
" Sorry no way , maybe if when i am over again , we will see . "
Walter had been listening . " Maybe you should have offered her a contract , but i don't think it would have done you much good . She is a woman of independent means . "
" It is a pity she is so in love with you . No other man would stand a chance . " Lee stated .
Paige looked at him . " Do i take that as a compliment ? "
" 100% "
Paige just smiled and took a sip of wine , put her glass down and said . " Then i will , would you call what you said as an example of Irish Blarney , from kissing the stone ? "
" Guilty as charged , are you ex police or something ? " He asked .
" Little me , i was a waitress . "
Lee looked at her not really knowing what to say . Walter was smiling at the little to and fro conversation that was going on .
" Put the poor man out of his misery . "
" Oh i had only just started , can't a girl have a little fun around here . " Paige replied .
Walter shook his head and turned to Lee . " We are both Ex - Homeland contractors who saw enough trouble to last the rest of our lives , you tend to learn to read people and Paige is good at it . "
" Homeland that's like some really serious people ."
Both Paige and Walter nodded their heads . Lee was being called over by a member of staff , so he made his excuses , wished them both all the best and then left them at the bar .
Paige finished her wine, then the two of them left and made their way back to the flat .
After breakfast the next day , Paige packed her case , Walter repacked his grab bag and managed to get the rest of his clothes into a large suitcase . The flat had been rented as furnished , but Walter had provided his own sheets and towels . Paige stripped the bed putting all the dirty washing in a black bin bag , she told Walter she would ask mom if she could use her washing machine . All the clean bed linen and towels , Walter decided to leave in the flat .
Walter had managed to reach the Landlord and arranged to meet at noon at the flat . When the landlord arrived Paige and Walter had packed everything they wanted into Walter's car . He greeted them both as old friends , then explained .
" My wife was one of the people you rescued from the school , so forget any payment for breaking the lease and also do not worry about the rent for the remaining months of the lease . But just for my own piece of mind , were will you be moving to ? "
" Back to America and Paige's home on Malibu Beach ." Walter replied .
" Expensive property . " The landlord answered .
" We like it . " Remarked Paige .
" I hope you have a good trip home and that the rest of your lives are happy . " The landlord said as he shook their hands and said goodbye and left .
They arrived at the farm just after 1.00pm. . Louise immediately got them to sit down and made them coffee and sandwiches . Once lunch was over Paige bought the washing from the flat and asked Louise if she could borrow the washing machine . However Louise took the bag from Paige and told her she would do it .
Walter had taken their suitcases to the bedroom ,Louise had prepared for them . The rest of the afternoon the three of them made pleasant conversation . It was soon time for Louise to start preparing the evening meal , which this time Paige insisted helping as she wanted to learn as much as possible about Irish cooking .
The rest of the week passed quickly , Paige insisted on helping around the house and with the cooking . In fact Thursday night Paige showed Louise one of her favorite Italian dish Chicken Cacciatore . Walter helped out his dad around the farm . He suggested various things that may help the efficiency of the farm . Including the condenser water catcher . Walter used some of the information he had used on the island with their water catcher .
Friday night Louise invited Tobin over with Connor and Thomas for an evening meal , so they could say goodbye .
Saturday Louise and Sean asked if they could go to Cork with them so they could see them off from Cork airport . Walter and Paige were both happy to let them go with them .
They set off at 10.00am. , they all agreed they wanted to have a farewell lunch before the kids went back to the States . They arrived in Cork at midday and parked up . The four of them took a short walk around Cork .
They found a good looking eatery that served wholesome Irish food . By the time they finished lunch it was time to leave for the airport .
The four of them said their goodbyes , Louise and Paige had tears in their eyes .
Louise and Sean watched the plane take off , through one of the large observation windows . Both were chocked as they watched their kids going over 5000 miles away from them . They both stood at the window until the plane was out of sight .
