*Bleep*

Paige's focus was abruptly drawn to her cell taking her attention away from staring at the abundance of clothes presented in front of her. Picking it up from her bed she smiled as she noticed the sender before swiping her thumb to reveal the message.

hey :) sorry practice ran a little over schedule, can't wait for tonight, wear something warm..pick you up at 7.. J xo

Paige stood for a while rereading the message. She had just assumed that she would be the one to organise the date, even going as far as reserving a table at one of the best restaurants in town.

Hi yourself ;) Did you have something in mind tonight? I already booked us somewhere. It's really no trouble i can pick you up X -P

Before Paige could turn again to focus on what the hell she was supposed to wear tonight she heard her phone bleep once again.

Cowgirl! You offend me! How dare you think i hadn't planned the mother of all first dates! Cancel plans and no arguments i asked you first remember ;) ..J xo

The swimmer smiled at the text particularly focusing on the way Jess ended them the same way every time '..J xo' . She began quickly dialling to cancel her reservation, which annoyingly had taken her two days of ringing to book.

After what felt like longest 3 hour wait of her life, it was finally time for Paige to step outside her door. She threw a quick wave goodbye to her folks before making her way down her driveway blushing slightly as she caught sight of the beautiful girl leaning slightly, arms crossed on her gleaming black Overfinch Range rover.

"Hello there pretty lady" The Brit finally piped up not hiding the fact she was clearly checking Paige out.

After hours of searching through her wardrobe, even reluctantly involving her mother with the decision she had decided on a pair of tight fitted army green jeans and a simple white collared shirt covered by a grey cashmere sweater that was certainly not hiding her toned stomach.

"You know you're really challenging my masculinity" Paige replied with a wink before continuing "Im usually the gentleman at these kind of things"

Jess chuckled at the remark before walking round to the passenger side to open the door letting Paige step up to the elevated seat.

Paige's eyes darted around the inside of the car. It was in immaculate condition and easily cost about 5 times the amount of her Prius, she looked to the backseat noticing a small rectangular box marked with the single letter 'P' covered with a red ribbon. She quickly focused her gaze back to the front as Jess slipped into the drivers seat.

"Ok, all set" Jess confirmed whilst reaching behind her to clip in her seatbelt.

"Before we go i have to ask… are you a bank robber?" Paige asked, a small smile clinging to her lips.

Jess shook her head embarrassed at the remark knowing that the girl was referring to her flashy car.

"Well Unless it was called the 'Bank of Mom and Dad' no I'm not a bank robber" The two laughed simultaneously before Jess began awkwardly fiddling with the button on her GPS.

Paige couldn't help but stare at Jess. She looked effortlessly incredible. She was wearing a floaty shirt that matched the color of Paige's jeans covered by a black blazer with the sleeves rolled to her elbows, finished off by blue fitted jeans and black heels. Her hair hung in loose curls past her shoulder blades,the front braided and clipped to the side.

It took a little less than an hour to reach their destination but it honestly felt like it flew by. The two chatted and laughed non stop the whole journey.

they had texted each other frequently ever since they met, they knew each others practice times well and scheduled the conversations around them. It was a relief when they were clearly just as comfortable talking in person.

"We're here" Jess grinned shutting off the engine and unbuckling her seat belt. Paige looked around confused at their whereabouts.

"You took me to a dock, are you planning on murdering me" Paige chuckled nervously walking along side Jess who had just finished locking her car.

"Yes you caught me..this is where it ends for you I'm afraid" the girl quipped back whilst jokingly shoving Paige's shoulder.

"Well if this is the last sight i see I'm okay with that" Paige quickly responded her hands gesturing towards the girls athletic body.

Jess's eyes lit up at the comment. The flirting was gradually increasing throughout the night and it made her stomach flip in anticipation every time Paige opened her mouth.

"Wow… that was smooth high five to that!" Jess laughed raising her hand.

Paige smiled as she accepted the the invitation only to be surprised by Jess interlocking their fingers in the air and failed to release her hand even when it dropped to their side. It was the first time since Jess had picked her up that silence filled the air. The two looked to the floor as they continued to walk hand in hand causing Paige's breath to hitch as Jess slowly rubbed the pad of her thumb against her own.

Still looking to the floor Paige stuttered as Jess unexpectedly came to a halt. She turned to question why they had stopped walking but was caught off guard by the twinkling lights in the corner of her eye.

There anchored to the dock was a luxury yacht, not the biggest she had ever seen but nothing short of breathtaking . Painted down the side in royal blue paint read "Little J". Her breath caught once again when she finally saw what the lights and candles had led to.

On the yacht, lit dimly by fairy lights, was a small intimate table covered by a white cloth, a vase of a dozen red roses and an ice bucket filled with what she could only imagine to be a bottle of fine champagne.

Paige still remained speechless as Jess offered her hand out to guide her onto the boat before pulling out her seat and gesturing Paige to sit. It was a beautiful evening, the sun was setting slowly as waves lapped quietly beside them. Jess returned to the table picnic basket in hand smiling at the girl opposite her who was still opened mouth at the view.

They both sat eating in a peaceful bliss. Jess had made sure to ask Rio earlier that day all of Paige's favourite foods which even included her favourite rosemary chicken.

Noticing all of the familiar foods, a pang of sadness riffeled through Paige's heart as she briefly thought back to the picnic that Emily had made for her back in Rosewood. But it was only for a second. The feeling of butterflies took over as Jess's voice ripped her from the painful thoughts.

"You really look amazing tonight Paige" Jess's dropped to a gentle tone. "I had to promise my Dad we would wear life jackets but i just can't cover that outfit up."

Paige blushed slightly at the revelation dropping her fork to gaze into the soccer stars eyes. She reached over the table to gently graze the tips of the girls fingers.

"Well, i don't know if you've heard but i'm a pretty strong swimmer, you're in safe hands if we go under..i got you. " She leant back in her chair with a cocky grin.

"That is too good of an offer to pass up" and with that Jess flew out of her chair and ran up the steps to the top deck giggling like a small child as Paige chased after her. Reaching the top of the stairs Paige watched on as Jess placed her feet on the bottom railing. Paige admired the girls form from the back before approaching the girl quietly.

"This is looking suspiciously like a scene from Titanic and that didn't end well for them" Paige whispered into the girls ear as she placed both her hands either side of the railing letting Jess drop down and relax her back into Paige's chest.

Paige slowly let her arms drop from the railing to gently wrap them around the girls hips as they stood looking over at the lights that shone miles away.

"I love this song" Jess sighed in content as Paige listened for the speaker trying to recognise the lyrics.

Cos' i want to wrap you up

wanna you kiss your lips,

i wanna make you feel wanted.

And i wanna call you mine,

wanna hold your hand forever

and never let you forget it.

Yeh, i wanna make you feel wanted.

"You look incredibly beautiful Jess."

Paige's grip released as Jess turned to face her. They looked deeply into each others eyes until Jess head dropped with a sigh.

"I haven't had the best relationship experiences Paige" Paige noticed a small glistening tear building in the girls eyes but she didn't feel it was time to interrupt.

"My ex, she kind of…" Jess stopped once again shaking her head as if to pull herself together.

"Hey" Paige caught the girls attention, lifting Jess's chin with her index finger whilst gently stroking below her bottom lip with her thumb.

"Trust me I've been there" She thought back once again to Emily as she swallowed trying to regain her composure.

"Tonight is about you and me..ok"

Jess nodded looking back into Paige's deep brown chestnut eyes.

"Why do i feel like you're about to change my entire life" Jess asked searching within Paige's eyes for an answer.

Paige chuckled inwardly, her thumb now moving from under the girls lip to the side of her cheek before whispering..

"Im going to kiss you now."

Paige leant in cautiously and pressed their lips together. They worked slowly relishing the feeling that grew in their stomachs as Jess slightly opened her mouth to intensify the kiss allowing access for Paige's tongue to run across the bottom of the girls lip.

*BLEEP*

You wouldn't believe how much i hate watching you leave, i had an amazing night. I'd love to see you again, goodnight ..J xo

Paige grinned from ear to ear at the text. Jess had barely been gone 2 minutes after dropping the girl home and as soon as Paige had turned her phone on there was the message waiting for her.

The smile never left her face as she began to respond.

*BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP*

Paige looked confusingly at the phones constant bleeping. She smacked it lightly against her hand, sure that it had frozen. Her heart suddenly dropped as she noticed the notifications were all from Caleb. A collection of missed calls and frantic messages telling her to "call him back" and "it's urgent."

Paige's pulse began to quicken as she fumbled to find Caleb's number in her contacts.

"Pick up, Pick up" She repeated until the dial tone was finally interrupted by Caleb's voice.

"DUDE!" He expressed in a hushed but sharp tone.

"Ive been calling you all night, look i need to tell you something..its about E"

"Wait"

Paige interrupted not quite catching on what Caleb was trying to say, she was far too excited to wait until he had finished to tell him all about Jess.

"Me first…ive met someone!"

Paige was disappointed when she heard nothing on the end of the phone, no reaction just silence.

"Caleb are you still there?"
