Here's chapter 2! Happy reading!


When the team arrived at Labeaux's house, Walter, trying to go into mission mode, got out of Paige's car quickly and started to walk toward the house, completely forgetting to do his gentlemanly duty of opening Paige's door for her and giving her his arm to take. He walked a few steps away from the car before he suddenly realized that Paige was still sitting in the passenger's seat. "Walter O'Brien, you idiot! How could you forget the protocols of being a gentleman?! You have a 197 IQ for God's sake!" The genius mentally chastised himself as he doubled back toward the car.

Paige didn't seem to mind that Walter forgot about her, even if it was only for a few seconds, she found the whole thing rather amusing. The liaison smiled to herself as she watched Walter stop dead in his tracks, turn around and walk back to the car to get her. He opened her door and held out his hand for her to take as she got out of the car. "Sorry about that, Paige," Walter said quietly as he led Paige toward Labeaux's house. "That's okay, Walter. " Paige replied with a smile.

The genius was brought back to the present when Sylvester's voice came over the comm and said that the download will take no more than 5, 10-minutes tops. Walter replied with a quick "copy that" and went back to stewing over his current predicament. The movement of time seemed to move too slow for Walter, making the genius want to march over and snatch Paige away from Labeaux. "Don't do it, Walter-boy. I know you are desperate to get Paige back, but you'll jeopardize the mission!" The voice of reason that is his mind chimed in again, causing Walter to stay rooted to the spot.

"Sylvester, how's the download coming along? Is it close to completion yet?" The genius whispered into the comm a few agonizing minutes later. "It's almost done and please stop asking me every five seconds! What has gotten into you?" The human calculator asked with a hint of annoyance. "Nothing, Sylvester. Just keep an eye on the download speed." Walter said, changing the subject and switched off his comm as Labeaux led Paige back to Walter when the song ended. "You have a very beautiful dance partner." The millionaire complimented as he handed Paige back to Walter. "Thank you, Mr. Labeaux." Paige said as she blushed crimson. "I agree," Walter said, gazing lovingly into Paige's hazel eyes as Labeaux took his leave.

As soon as the millionaire was out of sight, Walter, not knowing what came over him, maybe it was Paige's sweet-smelling perfume overpowering his sense of judgement or maybe it was him finally giving into temptation, held the liaison in his arms and connected his lips with hers. Paige, overcome with shock that she is kissing her boss in the middle of the dance floor, didn't kiss the genius back right away.

Walter slowly pulled away as if sensing Paige's discomfort and said in a quiet voice, "I'm so sorry. It won't happen again." Paige, not bothering with Walter's apology, put her hands on his face and pulled the genius in for another earth-shattering kiss. When she pulled away, she laid her head on Walter's shoulder as they began to slow dance, both smiling contently as the music played in the background.


Yay! They kissed! Quick question, should I write one more chapter or leave it as is? Thanks for stopping by!
