I blushed a deep red, then immediately looked away. I was going to kill Lauren. Normally a Starkid fan would love to be locked in a basement with Joe Walker, but this was different. I'll just ignore him. Lauren couldn't keep us in here forever.
About twenty minutes had passed when I head Walker mutter a hello.
"Hey Walker," I replied, blushing again. There goes my plan off ignoring him. I hesitate. "Walker?"
"Mmmmm."
"Does Lauren do this often?"
"Pretty much," Joe laughed, "One time she locked Holden and Jim in a bathroom, because they had been arguing for days."
"And…how long were they in there?"
"Uh, I think most of the day. Lauren let them out after they had stopped arguing."
"So, how long are we going to be in here?"
"You can never tell with her."
I leaned back. "She'll let us out when we talk to one another."
"Aren't we doing that already?" Joe asked, confused.
"About the thing we're both avoiding."
"Oh."
A silence falls over the two of us. We don't say anything for a few minutes.
"Paige? Why don't you sit over here?" Joe motions to the large purple couch he's sitting on, "It's comfier." He looks up at me hopefully, but I shake my head.
"I think I'm good here for now."
"Oh. Ok. Paige?"
"Yea?"
"Sorry," Joe glanced up at me apologetically.
"What for?" I'm confused, but then realize what he's talking about, "Oh."
"Lauren told me you knew."
"I did."
"And?"
I sigh. Getting up, I walk over to the couch Joe is on and it down next to him. "Joe…I'm not sure what the kiss meant to me yet. And I'm not sure I want to be in any kind of relationship right now. I'm sorry." I stand up, and go back to the beach chair.
