Chapter 5: Do a little dance, make a little memory

The next day Paige, Alex and all of the gang all headed out in hopes of helping Paige regain her memory. So they decided to do what Paige loves best, a little Karaoke. Since they were all 18 by this time and everyone was out of school for the summer they all went down to The Crooked Cue in downtown Toronto. The Crooked Cue was a pool hall by day and a bar by night. Tonight just happened to be Karaoke night. It was Paige, Alex, Marco, Hazel, Jimmy and Spinner all going out for a night on the town. Slowly but surely they knew that Paige's memory would come back, but no one really knew what things she would remember first.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Crooked Cue is pleased to host their weekly Karaoke night, and to kick off the night with a bang we have Marco and Spinner up here to sing Umbrella by Rihanna. Here they are folks, Marco and Spinner." The MC said as he walked off the stage. By this time Marco and Spinner had had a few drinks. Especially Marco who ordered the gayest drink he could find just so that he could get that tiny umbrella that came with the drink. As Marco and Spinner were on stage Marco pulled out the umbrella and sang like he and Spinner were in love. The gang, who was a little tipsy, couldn't help but laugh. After finishing the song Marco and Spinner jumped off the stage and the MC came back up.

"well give it up for Marco and Spinner everybody!" The MC said as the audience broke out into an applause. "Next up we have Paige and Alex singing the classic 'do a little dance, make a little love.'" Alex was stunned because she had not initially signed up to sing the song but she knew that Paige did. And with Paige on stage beside her she couldn't do anything but go along with it.

Paige and Alex started singing the song and when it came to the chorus Paige started to dance with Alex to show of their moves. Paige couldn't help but step back for a second and watch Alex dance by herself. Alex was an amazing dance, very sexy but not in a slutty way. Which just made her even hotter. As Paige just stood there watching Alex dance it started to trigger something in her mind. And just like a flash black Paige had the image of Alex dancing at the strip club and taking off her clothes. Paige quickly zoned back and just stood there with her mouth open, staring at Alex.

"Paige, what's wrong?" asked Alex when she noticed Paige was not dancing, nor singing.

"Th-that dancing" Paige stuttered. Alex caught on to what was happening, she knew that her dancing made Paige remember something about her.

"you were working in a strip club, dancing like that." Paige said. Paige walked off the stage to go hide in the bathroom but Alex just followed.

"Paige! Slow down" Alex said as she followed Paige into the bathroom.

"Your dancing, it reminded me of how you worked in that strip club!" Paige said yelling furiously. "I don't even know why I'm that mad…" said Paige. Alex thought to herself for a second. She knew Paige remembered her job but she still didn't know that they were dating and that she was the reason she quit her job at Zanzibar. Until…

"wait, you said you quit a job because you had a more important relationship going on… who was it?" Paige asked not thinking it would be her.

"Paige, there is something I have to tell you. I was hoping that you would remember this instead of me having to tell you but the truth is… we're dating." Alex said.

"what do you mean we're dating?" Paige asked, confused. "who's we?"

"Me and you, Paige. The two of us are dating, actually it's a little more than dating but that will come in time." Said Alex staring into Paige's eyes in hopes of seeing an emotion.

"wait are you saying that I'm… I'm…" Paige drifted off.

"yes Paige, you and I are lesbians. Well actually I'm a lesbian, I think you prefer to be called bisexual." Alex said slightly laughing at the fact.

"this can't be right." Said Paige, not actually believing Alex.

"wait here" Alex said as she walked out of the bathroom. Within a minute she had come back into the bathroom forcing Marco with her.

"This is a girl's bathroom Alex. I can't be in here" Marco said as he was pulled through the door.

"go ahead Marco, tell her" said Alex

"Paige, you and Alex are dating" Marco said flinching, hoping Paige wouldn't hit him.

"oh my god…" she said quietly. Paige turned around and said "that explains a lot actually"

"what do you mean?" Alex asked.

"well ever since I came back from the hospital I couldn't really stop thinking about you" Paige said slightly embarrassed. Marco began to laugh, until Alex pushed him out the door without even glancing at him. Alex couldn't help but smile at how cute Paige looked when she was embarrassed.

"so you think I'm attractive?" Alex said smirking.

"well I am dating you aren't I?" Paige asked in a sexy tone. "I am dating you right?" she asked just to reassure herself. Alex went up to Paige and gave her a quick, soft kiss on the lips.

"what do you think?" Alex asked smiling. The two girls walked out of the bathroom. On the way out Paige grabbed Alex's hand in hers. Alex looked up a bit surprised and Paige just smiled back. Alex and Paige clued everyone in that Paige knew about her and Alex but they didn't really say how Paige felt about it, and everyone was too afraid to ask so they just left it at that. After Marco dropped everyone off him, Alex and Paige all went back to Paige's house. As soon as they walked in Marco went off to find Dylan somewhere. Alex and Paige weren't quite sure what to do so they just sat in the living room.

"so… who else knows about… us?" Paige asked as she whispered the word 'us'.

"um well all of our friends know, umm, your brother, and as of a few days ago, my mom." Alex said

"what about my parents?" she asked

"uh, no."

"and what about everyone in school?" Paige asked.

"umm well since you go to Banting and I go to Degrassi, no one really knows about us." Replied Alex

"oh right, I go to Banting, I forgot…" Paige said sadly.

"you don't seem to happy about that. I mean last year all you could talk about was going to Banting and breaking into the Business area."

"yeah well from what I've heard its great, but I couldn't help but think, if I love you this much when we're together, imagine how hard it is when we're that far apart." Paige said.

"wait… did you say love?" Alex said completely thrown off guard.

"yeah I have said 'I love you' before, right?" Paige asked not sure anymore.

"well not exactly. You know I love you it's just I wasn't sure if you felt the same" said Alex

"okay well as much as I love our relationship, I still don't remember anything about the accident." She said.

"well that will come soon enough, don't worry. Until then, we're going to have some fun." Alex said smiling before she gave a very big yawn. "starting tomorrow. I'm gonna go, bye girlfriend." Alex got up and gave Paige a quick peck on the cheek.

"girlfriend, huh? I like it. See you tomorrow, girlfriend."
