Chapter Four
When Paige's tears subsided, she curled up on to the bed on her usual side.
"Can I stay here for the night? I don't trust myself alone… I know everything is okay now, but… I haven't thrown anything away. And I just need to be with you, it's been too long." Paige looked blankly at the wall feeling Emily's eyes on her. Emily curled herself around Paige and held her tight.
"My parents won't be home until the morning, that's perfectly fine. I'm sick of sleeping alone, I'm so glad you're here." Emily softly kissed Paige's neck and then her forehead, and finally her lips. "I never want you to feel like you can't tell me when you're urging, or if you already cut. I know I don't approve but I want to help you get better and I want to help you get over it."
They spent the night kissing, cuddling, and just talking. They loved these nights the best, this is when they really connected and they really saw how close they were. Sure, Paige loved the nights when Emily had other things in mind… but this is what truly made her realize how much she would do for Emily. She never felt this way about anybody else, except Emily Fields.
The next morning, Emily woke up first like usual. She thought that it would be just perfect to make Paige her favorite blueberry muffins and have them ready when she woke up. She quietly rolled out of Paige's arms and out of the bed. She started baking them as soon as she went down stairs. When they were ready, she put a few on a plate and brought them back up stairs.
She set them on the side table and climbed back into bed and put her arms around Paige, "wake up darling, I made you muffins," she whispered into Paige's ear. Paige woke up slowly and grumpy like usual, they always joked about how Paige is not a morning person at all.
"bleeehhh," Paige moaned as she rolled into the pillow, "well, I guess if it's for muffins…" Emily giggled and helped the sleepy Paige up and out of bed. They walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where they ate the muffins and drank milk in sweet silence.
"My mom will be home soon… and she doesn't know you're here…" Emily really didn't want Paige to leave so soon, but they were used to it. She would be back over there soon anyways.
"Well, I'm not leaving without a goodbye kiss," Paige pulled Emily by the collar and kissed her hard. They both got up from the table and Paige led Emily back up to her room. When they got up to her bedroom Emily pushed Paige on to the bed.
Paige pulled her down next to her and rolled on top of her kissing her hard and biting her lip. Emily moved her hands down the sides of Paige and slowly pulled her closer. As Paige moved her hands to Emily's breasts she heard her phone beep. Emily got up and checked her phone.
"It's my mom, she says she won't be home until tomorrow evening."
"Do I smell another sleep over?" Paige asked. Emily giggled and pulled Paige into a kiss.
When Emily woke up the next morning, she saw that Paige was gone. She got up and noticed her keys were still on her dresser. 'Well, she couldn't have gone far," Emily thought to herself as she moved across the room to the door.
Emily though Paige just walked down to the closest gas station to pick up some coffee for the two of them, like she sometimes does. Emily went into the kitchen and made herself a bowl of cereal, then she thought that Paige could be back any second so she poured one for her too, with an extra sprinkle of sugar, the way Paige always likes her Cheerios.
She sat at the table and ate her cereal slowly, she picked up her phone and texted Paige: "You got the coffee, I got the Cheerios(:" She waited for a reply as she slurped down the remaining milk.
"Oh my god, what if she's in trouble. Maybe –A is making her do something." Emily calmed herself down and told herself that she thinks these things every morning Paige is gone, she is always wrong in the end. Emily put her bowl in the sink and she dumped Paige's bowl too, because no one likes soggy cheerios.
On her way up the stairs, she noticed some movement on the front porch. Thinking it was Paige about to come in the door, she went back down the stairs and opened the door. When she did she noticed Shana's car first, then she noticed the back of Paige's hair, and finally she noticed Shana's arm around Paige.
"What...?" Emily said to herself confused.
Paige heard the door open so she turned around and noticed Emily. She quickly moved Shana's arm from around her and took a few steps away.
"Emily, oh my god. I know what you think this is, but it's not. I was telling her she needs to back off. I tried to tell her that I loved you, not her. I did everything." Paige said as she walked toward her girlfriend and grabbed her shoulders.
"You did everything," Emily replied in shock, "So you're going to tell me that while you were 'telling her to back off' she just happened to put her arm around you. Just like how she just happened to kiss you that one night." Emily turned around to go inside.
"Emily, I'm sorry I miss read everything. She told me you two were broken up. I had no idea you were still together," Shana said "please don't be upset at Paige, I- I should just go." Shana got in her car and drove off.
Emily stared at Paige in shock and confusion. As she made her way up to Emily to kiss her and explain everything Emily turned to go back inside.
"My mom will be home soon, so just leave. Either it's me or Shana Paige, figure it out."
