My charge, my lover chapter 2
Secrets, lies, and a shred of truth
Billy awoke to the feel of Christine's arms around her and she liked it though part of her wished it was Paige. Feeling her stir the woman beside her eased off the bed beginning to get dressed, Billy doing the same. As they walked to the door Christine stopped just before she opened the door looking her in the eyes. " Billie could we maybe do this again sometime or maybe I don't know go on a date " asked Christine keeping her eyes to the floor scared to death she'd say no this was a onetime thing. "I'd love that how bout we have dinner together on Saturday "accepted Billy smiling when her companion smiled and nodded. They leaned towards one another kissing for only the briefest of moments careful to not let it get too heated. Billy began to get dressed for the day, hearing Paige orb in as she rummaged through her closet and feeling as she came up behind her. Her hands found her bra clad breasts and Billy felt Paige's lips touch her neck, and she couldn't help but lean into her. "I love you babe "said Paige against her neck as her lips made their way to her ear while her hands squeezed Billie's breasts. Billy became tense, pulling away, and walking to the other side of the room, her eyes remaining constantly on the floor.
"If you're gonna say things you don't mean and lie to me then please leave Paige "said Billy gravely her voice a mixture of venom and utter hatred. Paige looked at her confused, not understanding how she could come to these conclusions. " Honey I'm not lying and you of all people should know I never say things I don't mean I love you " smiled Paige stepping towards her, but stopping when Billie's sweet brown eyes glared daggers at her. "Get out I can't do this anymore your married, but me I'm here alone, at least I was" screamed Billy in a full on rage now. "What do you mean was" yelled Paige getting just as angry. "Christine and I have begun a relationship" declared Billy as she pulled on her robe covering herself. "Honey it doesn't matter that I'm married I love you, you were never alone I've always been here, and I always will "said Paige her voice raised because of her slight anger over Billy beginning a relationship with another person. " If you loved me you'd be with me not Henry, we would be together, I'd wake up in your arms everyday instead of Christine's like I did this morning, but no your afraid ….. Afraid of what people will think when they find out about us" screamed Billy stopping to stare at her before continuing. " You want to have both Henry and me, and you refuse to choose between us no matter how many times I've asked you so now I'm making that choice for you ….. Now please Paige just go "pleaded Billy willing the tears not to come before she orbed away.
Paige walked up to her seeming to stare at her, her words repeating themselves in her head before she kissed her cheek having no words to say to her other than the three little words she had been saying . When Paige orbed away Billy collapsed onto the dorm room floor in a heap, the tears finally flowing freely while her hand came to her cheek where only seconds before Paige had kissed her and Billy felt empty. By saying these things to Paige she had thought she would feel free, free to move on with her life, free to find someone other than Paige to love, but instead she felt only this emptiness.
Paige orbed herself to the golden gate bridge, sitting down and trying to process what had just happened. She had a husband, three beautiful kids, but now she didn't have Billy, and she somehow felt incomplete, like a broken piece of glass, an empty bottle, an unfinished puzzle. Paige wouldn't let herself cry, sitting down and thinking until she felt someone calling her. She smiled hoping it was Billy that she had changed her mind, and without thinking Paige orbed off. Paige found herself not in Billie's dorm room, but in her husband Henries office landing securely in his lap where he smiled and kissed her. Paige kissed back faking a smile and feeling him pull her close, before looking deeply into his eyes. "Hay honey what's up is everything ok "questioned Paige seeing no sign of any sort of trouble. "Nothing can't a guy just call his wife because he wants to see her "laughed Henry kissing her again. "Sure "kissed Paige smiling into the kiss, and feeling less angry from her fight with Billy. " I was about to come see you anyway "whispered Paige straddling her husband, and beginning to kiss him again. "Oh … really why "questioned Henry his hands sliding up her back when he felt her deepen the kiss, her tongue invading his mouth.
"I need you to get some information on this girl Billie's been hanging out with I have a bad feeling about her "lied Paige knowing she couldn't tell her husband what had happened. "Sure what's her name "asked Henry already going into the direction of his computer. "Christine Lane "answered Paige remembering the name she saw tattooed on her left leg, and coming to wrap her arms around her husband. "Thank you for doing this for me honey … I'll have to make it up to you "breathed Paige against his ear before kissing it. "I'll look forward to that "growled Henry his voice husky before turning to Paige. " Christine Lane age 22 from san Diego, one arrest for disturbing the peace last year, she has an older sister named Ursula Davis, but her parents died in a car accident eight years ago " said Henry reading from his computer screen. "What was she doing to disturb the peace "asked Paige now kissing his other ear? "Um protesting outside a lab with a bunch of others "said Henry continuing to read off the screen. "Thanks honey that's all I needed to know "whispered Paige turning him around in his chair and kissing him with passion and fire. "I'll make it up to you at home tonight "breathed Paige against his lips before orbing to the manor to think and try to form a plan about what to do to get Billy back.
