Uncomfortable Lunch

Alex awoke once again in Paige's sleeping arms. This time she was glad for her bladder not having the need to be emptied. She decided to just lay there and watch Paige sleep. She watched her rhymatic breathing and slowly leaned her head down until it was upon Paige's chest and listened to her heartbeat for nearly an hour when Paige began to stir from her sleep.

"Morning." Alex greeted Paige with a huge smile.

Paige returned her smile. "Morning."

"How'd you sleep last night?" Alex asked the still half asleep girl.

"It's always wonderful when I wake up to your beautiful face." This caused Alex to blush and she leaned forward to kiss Paige.

"Hun, I haven't even brushed my teeth yet and you want to kiss me?" Paige said looking cute with her slightly grossed out face.

"It doesn't matter to me. It's still your mouth. Brushed or not, I still love it." She told Paige smiling and still leaning in for her morning kiss. Paige let her kiss her and was glad she didn't push the matter of her unbrushed teeth any farther, for she might have missed out on this spectacular moment. Every kiss from Alex was spectacular to Paige.

The two finished kissing so Paige couls hop in the shower and escort Alex to her house to grab herself a shower. They decided to spend the whole day together doing anything that they could think of to occupy their time.

Their first stop was Dylan, Marco and Ellie's appartment for lunch. Ellie was having another nervous moment and Marco and Dylan thought it always best to take full advantage of these rare occations. This time, however, was different. Ellie was not cooking for nervousness, but out of anger at what had gone on between her and Alex the day before. Dispite Marco's many tries, Ellie would not tell him what had gone on at Alex's appartment that could have upset her so much.

Dylan had invited Paige over for lunch a few days earlier for a small celebration of her return home. This had been planned, of course, before Palex reunited and Ellie had confessed her feelings for Alex in a futile attempt to win her heart away from Paige.

Before they had headed over to the appartment, Alex had made Paige promise that she wouldn't start anything with Ellie or even mention that alex had told her of what had gone on at her appartment the day before. Paige had regretfully agreed only when Alex had given her the best imitation of Paige's puppy-dog face she could muster. Paige laughed at her attempt, but went along with the plan anyway. Alex really didn't want to have to break up a fight between her best-friend and her girlfriend on such an important lunch date.

Throughout the entire period of the lunch, Alex had noticed a major tension between Paige and Ellie. she had tried to ignore it, but at the times when it seemed as if Paige was about to lunge at Ellie and kill her, Alex had to nudge her in the ribs to try and remind her of the promise she had made to her.

After lunch Alex, Paige, Marco and Dylan headed to the movie theater to see the latest romatic-comedy. Ellie had decided it'd be better if she didn't tag along. She told everyone it was because of her not having anyone to go with that was more than a friend, but Alex and Paige knew exactly why she didn't want to come.

The three of them than preceeded to the Dot for milkshakes afterward. They didn't have a disscussion on the movie because none ofthem had paid any attention. They had spend the time making out with their other half throughout the movie. Instead they talked about anything that came to mind. At some point they even made fun of what a few girls at a nearby table were wearing.

Alex and Paige took off early. Paige walked Alex home and they stood just outside Alex's door for an extended period of time "saying" goodbye. Paige walked home alone with thoughts of Alex and their day together running through her head.
