Paige and emily have been married for for the last five months.

Paige being ten years older than emily, have given her space to adjust to their now new life. However, Emily has been nothing, but disrespectful, disobedient and ungrateful wife. despite their agreement.

FIVE MONTHS TWO WEEKS AGO

As she promised last night, early the next day paige went back to talk to emily. After waiting for two good hours for emily, paige asks for Wayne's permission and went up. She knocks several times, but emily didn't answer, so she opens the door and sees emily just lying down listening to music and reading a magazine without a care that she was waiting for her downstairs. Emily sees her and quickly sits up.

"What the hell?. Why are you in my room?, get the hell out!". She throws some pillows at paige. Paige uses her hands to block them. She turns and lock the door, take the keys then went to the window seat and sits down. Emily's mouth opens. She didn't understand why paige was sitting in her room. With the door locked.

"Like I said we have to talk. If you want we can be done in twenty minutes or the whole night or whatever, I have taken time off for it. You should choose wisely emily because I'm not leaving until we talk. So, which is it going to be?". Emily hisses and takes a magazine to read lying down.

"Good. right choice. So let me get straight to it". Paige clears her throat so emily could understand everything she wanted to say.

"We both don't want to do this, but our familes want us to. So, I propose we get married then live our lives". Emily looks up surprised.

"You will be my wife and I yours. you will be entitle to my name and everything else that comes with it. we will live together as a couple. Emily, we do not have to have sexx. should you choose to get laid all I ask is you tell me so I know you're doing it and with whom, and vice verse". Emily stares at paige in disbelieve. Paige didn't look at all uncomfortable. She has already planned everything.

"All I ask is you respect me and my family and I will do the same. Any questions?". During Paige's speech she could see Emily's body language changing. Emily felt a little more relaxed, but obviously worried about something. Emily sat up and looks at paige.

"So you're saying we're just going to be married in paper and that's all?.

"Yes"

"You won't force me into doing anything...anything at all?".

"Well yeah, except you will be respectful to my family and we will have to look happy and together. we will support each other as spouses do. other than that you're free as a bird". Emily kept quiet, so paige concluded.

"if you will give me your word then is a deal". Emily was still thinking. This might not be too bad after all. this could work, this was good. After some time she finally answered.

"I give you my word". Emily smiles for the first time. Paige stood up and gave her hand to shake. Emily shakes it, but immediately removes her hand.

"Come on wifey to be, don't be afraid of a mere handshake". Paige says smiling trying to make emily relax more. she too wanted this to work. Emily just sits back down and turns away. Paige didn't know, that mere simple handshake had made Emily's heart beat again. Her body electrified. She had to remove her hand before paige noticed her discomfort.

"There will be no church wedding just at the registry will do". Emily says. She didn't want to have to invite people then also have to kiss paige. She just wanted a low down wedding.

"That will be fine by me. So I will tell wayne and my family we're ready then?". Emily nods.

"Good. here is my number in case you want to talk or make arrangements on anything. Do text me yours if that's okay". Emily collected her card and nods again. She didn't want to talk she felt restless.

"K, will see you when I see you". She turns, unlocks the door and walks out. Emily stood up walking around the her room. thinking maybe it's because this paige is the twin of her paige that's why she feels all what she is feeling whenever she sees her. this paige might not be as bad as she thinks after all. she just provided them a brilliant way out.

Both family were not happy, but they insisted that was what they both wanted.

After their marriage at the registry,

Paige and emily flew to goa, Indian. While they were staying at the hotel. Emily decided to be staying at the sitting room since paige has refused to get them a suit. she was simply not going to share a bed with her. Paige told her she could do that, but once they get back home they were going to be sleeping in the same bed.

The other reason paige chose indian other than their families thinking they were on their honeymoon was because she was going to be having meetings with some of the companies that were manufacturing medicines for their NGOS. Paige was always out busy and Emily was always sleeping or partying drunk in the clubs at the hotel or around goa.

That day, paige came back really early and it was getting late. Emily normally comes back early. Paige went down to ask around no one saw her. She went back up to get her phone to make calls. As she got her phone she hears someone plugging the keys in. She rushes there it was emily drunk as hell. As paige jerks the door to open wider, emily felt on her. Paige held her looking at her. Emily laughs at paige and ask her if she was going to kiss her or fuck her already. as she was horny as hell since seeing her pierced belly button through the beautiful blue sari she wore in the morning. She didn't answer her. She took her to bed removes her jeans and let her sleep it off.

The next day emily asks paige if she tried doing something with her while she was asleep because she removed her jeans. Paige didn't even answer her. She simply told emily to make sure she had her phone switch on at all times should she decide to go out again. Emily got pissed. How was it paige didn't care that goes out in an unknown country and even keep coming back drunk. Paige told her she was simply respecting her decision as an adult. Emily couldn't believe it. Her paige would have gone looking for her or something. As emily was ranting and ranting paige pretended to be asleep on the couch. and it made emily even more angry. To prove it, She takes her keys and leaves her phone on the bed so paige could see it and be more mad for defying her yet again.

What emily didn't know was that this paige didn't sleep the whole night. She watched emily as she slept in worry. She was always worried with how emily was drinking and partying, but she couldn't let emily know she cared about her well being because she was being a brat. throughout the remaining days they didn't speak unless it was important.

After a week paige and emily flew home to the McCullers estate in Washington, it looked like the estate in 'Dynasty' or 'Dallas'. When they first landed from the helicopter they took from the airport emily couldn't believe this was her new home. She thought places like this only existed in films. She was wrong.

The estate has a ranch which she appreciates. a golf-course, swimming pool, basketball court and a lot of other things to keep you busy from going out for months. as they ride to the main house, emily couldn't help but notice the lengthy garages with all kinds of different models of Mercedes cars at display waiting to be ride. Emily thought somebody in this place most be really crazy about the german made cars. She didn't know that the McCullers had shares in the company through Nick Snr. They didn't have to buy them.

As the car stops from the short ride to the main house, Erin welcomes them back. Paige asks Erin to send something for them to eat at their floor. Emily was confuse yet again. but she follows paige up nonetheless. as they walk all the way to the second to the last floor, Paige wanted emily to understand things around the house without having to ask anybody.

"The last floor is the gym everything you need to exercise is right second to the last floor is ours. It has four rooms, one sitting rooms two studies and a kitchenette. the second floor belongs to My brother, Akin and his wife Spencer. My father and mother stays at the first floor. the main kitchen, dinning area, other sitting rooms and other rooms are all there. the ground floor is my father's study and private room. There is a lift to use whenever you like". After paige explained, emily didn't bother showing any kind of appreciation whatsoever, so paige just unlocks the door and enters. As they enter, straight ahead is the sitting room. Which has a sliding down to it. the long corridor they stood at, the right was the rooms and the left down the hall was the studies and the kitchenette. Paige turned to her right down the hall and enters one of the rooms while emily just stood there, contemplating. in her mind she was going to choose one of the other three rooms to stay. She wasn't going to share a room with her unwanted wife period!. She moves straight and slid open the everything white sitting room and sat just admiring the beautifully put together room. there weren't too many things and it was well arranged. this paige must be really heat everything was in its place. Some minutes later there was a knock on the door. Emily waited to see if paige will come and get it, but she didn't so she stood up and opens it. Eva greeted her with a cheerful smile then rolls the the tray of food inside. She turns to the left down the hall to the kitchenette then came back.

"Am very happy to welcome you mrs McCullers. I can't tell you how happy I am to have Ms McCullers finally settling down. Am Eva, her personal help, no am yours too. Am here for anything you need". Eva kept smiling looking at emily.

Over the years paige has sacked her a dozen times, but brought her back. She tolerated and loves paige, but tells her the blunt truth all the time. When Erin told Eva paige was back with her wife Eva has been beside herself.

"Thank you I will keep that in mind" emily smiles.

"You're really very pretty and the luckiest person there is". Emily didn't get her.

"Thank you and am not sure I get you".

"Paige. You're lucky to have her. She is the best there is. You're going to be so happy". Eva kept smiling. She was genuinely happy for emily and paige. Emily says "thank you". But deep down, she felt the complete opposite of what Eva said.

"I have already put your clothes in the closet. all your things are in their places. Your office stuffs are all in the second office too. If you need anything you can call the intercom the numbers are there. have a good night our new wifey". She shyly says, smiling happily as she walks out.

After Eva had left emily serves herself some tea and snacks then went back to the sitting room, on the massive tv and watch. It wasn't anything in particular she just wanted to watch something to ease her mind.

As she was watching she heard a door being opened then closed. she quickly adjusted herself before paige came. Emily was looking straight up the tv. she saw paige passing straight down to the kitchenette with only a vest and a half knee baggy shorts on the phone laughing, smoking and talking to someone. Emily tensed up. she couldn't figure out if it was the fact that paige was talking and laughing on the phone or the way she looked. She looked so sexy even though it was only her side she saw. emily didn't even want to know which bordered her more. Suddenly, paige came back with a tray of food and some soda. sat down far away from emily then takes her phone from the tray and continue talking and laughing. She started eating while still talking then paige calls Spencer's name and told her she was tired that she would call her the next day to hear more update on what they were doing then hangs up the phone. Even though emily pretended to be uninterested in the conversation she was glad it was Spencer. She was glad paige wasn't deliberately trying to hurt her with one of the bimbos that follows her that she was told by hanna courtesy of Caleb.

Paige kept eating her food without so much as a glance at emily. She ate with one hand while going through her phone with the other. Emily kept watching her. She watch her every move forgetting she was watching something on tv. Paige senses it. She looks up at emily who was startled, but quickly turns to the tv. Paige just smiles and continues eating. When she was done, she carries the tray to the kitchen, washes her dishes and came back. She stopped at the entrance of the sitting room leaning by the sliding doors.

"I expect you to sleep in the masters bedroom with me emily. don't even think of sleeping in either of the rooms. If you do that you will be breaking our agreement and emily, should I decide to also break it, it will be far more entertaining. I promise you that". Emily knew she wasn't joking so she hisses and continue watching the tv pissed. she knew she had to sleep in the damn bedroom with her. Paige continues.

"Am really tired so am going to bed. you can pop in the shower if you want, Eva has arranged your things in". She didn't wait for Emily to respond she just walks straight to their bedroom. Paige switched off the lights and left the reading light to Emily's side. She was really tired so she felt asleep right away.

When emily enters minutes later, paige was backing her. The room was cozy and really big, beautified with everything yellow and purple. the room seems like a work of art. Emily walks to the door leading to the closets and bathroom. The shared closest was massive. Paige has a lot of clothes and shoes. She wore everything it seems. Skirts, shorts, boxers, dresses. Mexico top, African garment, Chinese and saris, those damn saris that show her belly button. A whole section with only batman stuffs. Emily rolls her eyes she didn't know paige took the batman name seriously. She continue checking the closets. She found clothes from countries she didn't know which. everything was well organized. This really wasn't her paige. Her paige wore trousers most times and skirts only in suits. Emily turns to check her side. her things were all there, but she needed to go shopping. She pick her towel and enters the bathroom. everything was grey and white in it with transparent shower stall and a big bath tub to relax in. Emily decided to use the shower. She locks the door because she didn't trust this Paige. she stood for minutes just enjoying her shower.

After cleaning herself emily enters the room with paige still fast asleep. she took some of the pillows on her side and made a separation between them, then lay down. She left the side light on in case paige decided any funny business. Emily just lay on the bed thinking about her life. How everything changed in a spit second. She misses hanna and her parents, her cousins and friends from school and her paige. She was still mad and angry with her father, but she misses her home.

Just as emily was lying there thinking, paige turns to her side in deep sleep. Emily took the opportunity to really study her up close.

Emily couldn't believe how really the same yet different the two Paiges were. She was looking at her paige yet not her paige. She starts to look at the abs, Paige's hair. how she divided the middle and and how her hairs falls to her face and how at peace she looks while asleep. her chest, with her breast scarcely showing through the cotton vest while she breathes up and down. her flat stomach and her long legs. then she looks back at her lips. those soft kissable lips and that kiss... Oh that kiss they shared at the registry..

FIVE MONTHS ONE WEEKS AGO

"If you will just sign here, you will be a happily married couples". The registrar who's name was Lesley Jackson says. Paige signs first the emily second. they both didn't really look happy. But they have an agreement. So they came to the registry with wayne, ashley and nicklaus. Hanna is off to work in a different state no one told her what was happening because she complicated things especially when it came to emily. Betty's mother was really sick she begged them to change date but paige refused. Paige wanted this over with the soonest. She didn't tell her friends either and she forbids Akin to come. After all the marriage isn't a love marriage she told Akin.

after signing rather than a kiss paige gave emily her hand to shake. Leslie was surprised.

"What is going on here?. That's not how a married couple seal their love. Where are we?.100 years ago?. come on 100 years ago WE all wouldn't be here. We are in the twenty first century people. So show me some love. Come on, come on people I have a line outside. kiss on, kiss on lets complete the ritual". He says smiling proudly.

"Ah I don't think is necessary we're okay, thank you". Emily says turning to leave.

"No!. Is not okay. You have to kiss, that's the law or the marriage is nullified". Emily was shocked.

"I don't believe this". she eyed him.

"better believe it girl. what's wrong with you?. don't you wanna kiss your wife?. What is going on here?. Is there something am missing?". Leslie wasn't smiling anymore. He couldn't understand what was happening. and their parent where looking at each other trying to decide what to say. Emily was making things worst. so paige just pulls her and gave her a peck on the lips. Emily was startled and shocked. But before she even started nagging, the registrar shakes his head.

"You're serious? that's how you kiss your new wifey?. This is not happening". he stood up from his chair. about to go round to where they stood.

"I will have to talk to the supervisor, there is something wrong here".

"No!". everyone says in union looking at emily. Paige hurriedly cups her chin in her hand and lowered her head without warning for a more appropriate kiss. At the first touch of Paige's lips on hers, Emily stiffened slightly. Paige, not one to give up easily on anything, didn't stop.

She kept brushing her lips against Emily's soft and tender lips, giving her time to get used to the idea as her thumb brush lightly against her tan cheek. She was rewarded a few seconds later when she felt the tension leaving Emily's body little by little. Emily moves her hands to Paige's waist as if she was going to push her away but leaned more into her, a slight sound of pleasure leaving her lips without intention.

Paige cups the back of her neck and brought their bodies closer as Emily's hands slowly move up her sides until they were resting on her shoulders. Emily didn't know what to do with them or even where to put them.

Emily couldn't believe what was happening. they were kissing and she was really really enjoying it!. It had never occurred to her that it could happen after their agreement, let alone that it would feel so right. Paige was doing a marvelous job of not rushing into the kiss like it was forced. She made sure the registrar didn't have any doubt they were lovers. She was easing emily into the kiss and it was nothing short of wonderful. and god, paige lips were so soft and addictive!. She couldn't remember when she had enjoyed a more intense and intoxicating kiss.

Paige tasted like lemons and strawberries. She knew paige was also enjoying the kiss because she wasn't making it any easier for either of them to pull away.

So emily told herself she was kissing her paige in order not to feel guilty, but her paige didn't taste and smell like this. this taste was different. She was loosing herself in it and she wasn't suppose to like kissing anybody, somebody that wasn't her paige. the kiss consumes her. It was taking her breathe away. It was making her kneels weak how was it even possible?. she even hates this paige. what was wrong with her?. Emily had to use her will power to finally pull away. She slightly looks at paige and she could tell paige had the same feeling. she hurriedly turns away to look at the registrar who's smile was so big and annoying.

"Wow...that's more like it girls. don't we all wanna kiss our love ones like that. Congratulations fine couples you're now legally married!. do come next week for your certificate". Before Leslie could even finish his sentence emily was out the door. She didn't look at either of their parent's faces. She only looked at Ashley who pulls her with a hug and a kiss as they walk.

"Congratulations Emmy. I must say, I can only ever remember seeing that type of kiss in the 'Thorn birds'. You should totally watch the movie". Emily jokily tried pulling out of Ashley rolling her eyes. Ashley just laughed.

PRESENT DAY.

As emily was thinking of the kiss she felt some moist in her boxers. She usually sleeps in vests or an oversized top. She didn't trust this paige so she wore the oversized long top. She was angry with her body for disappointing her. She wasn't meant to like the kiss and she wasn't meant to feel this, this thing in between her legs. No, but emily freezes her brain in believing is because her wife has her Paige's face.

As she was thinking of all that, paige opens her eyes looking at emily who was thinking so deep she didn't see paige looking at her. Paige was sure emily was thinking about that kiss, that kiss which has also refused to leave her brain alone. She could also feel the moist in between her legs, she was dreaming of the kiss. Paige sighs and turns to her side thinking "this is going to be much more difficult than I expected".

For the last couple of weeks, emily had been meeting the McCullers friends and acquaintances. She has finally met Akin who she thought was a replica of Harrison in scandals. She met his wife Spencer and Pru too. They all love her, but they were all too loud. she thank god paige wasn't like that. It would have been too much for her. They all travelled out not too long after without paige, she promised her mother to remain in Washington for the time being before flying out for work.

Emily has loosening up a bit, but not to paige. They were not still there, but she was more civil to her wife. Betty felt like eating emily up. She took her shopping, they go out to the parks whenever emily was less busy. She loves her and her cooking. Emily sometimes helps the chef cook for the whole house. She has taught him some of her favorite dishes and they all loved it. She was the perfect daughter in-law but the worse wife. the maids admire how down to earth she was. Nicklaus told Betty he knew emily was going to impact their lives in a good way, she concurred.

One night she was cooking in the kitchenette and paige came back from a meeting from California. She was suppose to spend two days, but she changed her mind and came back. She had bathed and changed ready for bed. she was going back down stairs for dinner when she smelled something nice so she walks into the kitchenette without emily knowing. Emily was trying to get something from the upper cupboard while standing on a stool. As she got it and coming back down she slips and felt, but paige caught her and she felt in her arms. they kept looking at each other for a while like in the Indian serials. Emily was totally looking at Paige's lips so paige told her to just kiss her if she wanted to. Emily shifts up, left paige arms and turns to continue cooking. She said she didn't want to and paige was wrong. so paige turns her back around and kiss her like she did at the registry. After they kissed emily had to hold the the table for support. Paige smirked.

"Who is lying to who?". Emily felt angry that paige kissed her, worse she knew she liked it.

"it's still paige". Emily said to make paige angry. Paige simply nodded. She was tired she wasn't going to start arguing with her again.

"I know". then checks the pot emily was cooking. It was spaghetti and meat balls so she ask emily to please serve her a plate. it smells nice and she was hungry. Emily thought she was joking at first, because she never showed any appreciation for her cooking, but it turns out she wasn't joking. paige drags a chair and sits down waiting. Emily turns around and continue cooking. Paige just sat there watching her cook. Emily really felt uncomfortable but thank god the food was done. She serves paige a plate and serves herself too. at first she wanted to go to the sitting room and sit there, but she changed her mind. She wasn't going to allow paige intimidate her. they sat together in silence eating. Paige ate more of the meat balls than the spaghetti so emily told her if she kept at it she might die young. Paige laughs saying. "So you don't want to be a widow?". Emily said "no" then "yes" then rolls her eyes saying "whatever". She didn't know which answer to give paige. Paige just smiles and told her not to mind.

Five days later Paige had Khal brought to Washington for emily. It was obvious just like emily, paige was feeling something for her wife too. But paige kept telling herself she just wanted emily happy. She has gone through a lot. So, that evening she asks emily to join her in riding horses. Emily was bored so she agreed. As she got to the stables paige was standing with a horse getting him ready for a ride. Emily enters and sees it was Khal. She screams and held him giving him kisses. She looks at paige and smile. She thought wayne had finally sent him to pacific her. She didn't know it was all paige's doing. She got on him and ride away. Paige climbs another horse and follows her. Emily took the opportunity to really go through the estate, it was massive and beautiful. they finally got to the lake in the estate and stop. they started talking on nothing important and it quickly turned into an argument again. Emily was pissed yet again for no serious reasons. She accuses paige of talking and treating her like a child whenever they were having a conversation. Paige told her she behaves like one. So she felt it was better she treats her like one. Emily got up to get on Khal and leave, but paige caught her wrist, pulling her toward her.

"I have always treated you precisely as you've deserved to be treated, and that's the way it will always be between us. I have no intention of letting you walk all over me, never. If I did, you'd soon have no more respect for me than you would have had for my sister, had you been fortunate enough to marry her. you're disrespectful and rude".

Emily was thunderstruck by paige words in presuming to know how she would have treated her paige, and she was stricken by the awful finality with which she dismissed her love and respect for her dead paige, who she would have treated with outmost love worse, Paige's arms were encircling her at that very moment she said those awful things to her.

"don't you care that I don't love you?". she cruelly asked paige to get back at her.

"Of course you don't," Paige teased, "You hate me. You've told me so at least half a dozen times. Even after you melted In my arms few days ago".

"Stop reminding me of what happened that day! I want to forget it". Emily said angrily.

Paige gathered her closer against her in tender amusement.

"you want to forget it huh?. It means you haven't?". Emily hisses trying to move away from paige.

"Emily, I would give you anything within my power, but I will never let you forget what you were that day. a melted emily in my arms..".paige tease again.

"That's all you will ever get. I will never willingly be in those arms of yours, never".

"Okayyy. I will never want to have you that way either. when you're cold and unwilling, especially in my bed". emily smirked.

"My goodness, why didn't you tell me that ever?. Since that's the way you feel, there's no need you trying to bug me any longer ".

"Meaning?".

"Meaning that I will always be a cold and unwilling wife to you".

"Is that a threat?". Emily hastily shakes her head, smiling.

"No, of course not. I'm only trying to explain that my feelings toward you won't change, ever".

"You're quite certain?".

"Absolutely positive, it will always be my paige". she said brightly without a care how her wife would feel. Paige didn't say anything. She was just staring at her. Emily felt bad and looks away. When paige didn't say anything, she decided to change the subject. She felt terrible, but wouldn't apologize.

"Can I ask you something?". she said softly.

"Anything". paige replied quietly.

"Within reason and all seriousness" Emily reminded paige with a teary half smile. Paige accepted by nodding her head.

"Why did you accept the betrothing?". Emily asks her quietly, without rancor.

"I mean you scarcely knew me and we haven't spoken like we did in my room afterward. what made you agree without speaking to me first?". although there was no change in her expression, Emily felt Paige's muscles tense, so she quickly explained.

"I'm only trying to understand what you could have been thinking of you know. We didn't get along well, I was going to marry your twin that you never knew existed, yet you accepted to marry ME, of all people. why, why me?". Paige didn't answer instead she asks emily a question to buy herself some time.

"Why do you think I chose you?".

"I don't know. No woman offers for another woman merely to make her miserable and ruin her life like you're doing now, so you must have had another reason in accepting it".

"You can't condemn me for wanting to get married, unless you condemn every other woman who has. and arranged marriages may be Gothic, but they have been a custom in the best families for centuries, at least that's what I read". That wasn't the answer emily expected. So She sighed and moves away from paige.

"In those marriages there has be at least a chance that both people would eventually come to like one another, even to develop an affection for each other. Like my parents, paige and I. and a lot of others".

"Can you honestly say that you haven't occasionally felt a liking for me, emily?". Paige persisted gently. "Even against your will?". there was no mockery or challenge in her tone. Emily shrugged uncomfortably and looks away again.

"Occasionally".

"But always against your will, like when we kissed?". Paige says. In spite of herself, Emily smiled. "Against my will, and against my better judgment". Paige eyes warmed and Emily cautiously changed the subject. She didn't want paige to go further on this line of talk.

"You promised to tell me why you wanted to marry me, and you still haven't".

"Hmm, How could I have known when I went to New York for my sister, that you would set out to despise me the moment you saw me?". Paige says.

"PAIGE!" Emily burst out, then froze in surprise at the sound of her voice using paige's given name for the first time. Hastily, she looks away. It felt so right the way Paige looked at her when she said the name.

"And don't bother trying to tell me that you thought you loved me". Emily told her.

"I didn't". Paige agreed.

"As you have just pointed out, I hardly knew you at the time". Emily turns her back on her, unable to understand why Paige's answer hurt her. "Wonderful!" she said bitterly. Paige didn't want to continue the conversation either. She couldn't tell Emily she already for cared her, neither could she tell her she signed an agreement with her father before accepting her.

That night, paige told emily they were going to watch the opening of her friend,Andrew Jean-Pierre's movie. He insisted she came with her bride. Emily didn't want to go because paige had annoyed her when they went for a horse riding. She has been wasting time so paige could go alone. Paige sent eva to get her. She was already ready wearing a beautiful black suit with heels waiting in the car. "Mrs McCullers for heaven's sake what in the world are you wearing?!". Eva asked emily as she came up to get her.

"What?. You don't like the dress?. and haven't I asked you to call me emily?". She has become like her aunt. They have a really good relationship. Eva is shocked. emily was wearing her mother's 80's dress. It is huge and ugly and the color is shouty. She intentional wore it to piss paige up.

"If you mean to antagonize her, you will be making a terrible mistake emily. It will bite you back. Am begging you please don't do this, please".

"don't worry Eva all will be fine". Eva wasn't happy, but there was nothing she could do to a stubborn emily so she let. Emily came down stairs, the driver was waiting at the door for her. Paige had seen her coming out of the mansion in the horrible dress, but pretended not have notice as emily enters and sits down

The drive to the theater was short and all through the drive paige was on the phone. As they reach paige got out and open the door for emily then held Her hand all the way to the theater with people watching them and some photographers snapping them while she smiles and even blocks the crowd in pushing emily. They made their way upstairs to their seats. Emily was already regretting her choice. What she did didn't affect paige in anyway.

As they sat, Andrew Jean-Pierre came to them with some people. He hugs paige then paige introduces emily as her wife. He looks emily up and down then smiles and compliments her beauty, but didn't comment on her dressing. And It was obvious the people that were standing with Andrew were holding their laughter and talking in French which paige understood, but kept quite. All through the two hours thirty minutes film, Paige could feel emily studying her closely. when the lights were brought back on paige stood up with the rest clapping for the actors. it was a beautiful film to watch. Paige then held Emily's hand went to Andrew congratulated the whole crew and left.

When they got back home paige went to take a shower then went to her study. Emily was mad again. She felt paige took her like that to humiliate. She purposely let her go there dress like that. then dared to introduce her as her wife without shame or feelings. She was pissed paige didn't care, wasn't affected by her actions or inaction. so, after taking a bath she barge into paige's study.
