CHAPTER 2

I'll wait forever

-Hannah! Leave that phone for a minute, ok? – She had been texting for what seemed to be days and Spencer seemed to be very annoyed by that.

-I'm sorry, Spence.- she put the phone down for a minute to look at her with a concerned yet amused stare- I know things are rough for you now that you are single, but some of us have a love life.- always saying the wrong things.

-Han! You can't just say those things to Spencer. – Aria scolded her.

-Yes, Hannah. I mean… she's not even single. She just got into a fight with Jacob… No big deal, right Spence?

-Ugh- she put her face between her hands- it's so stupid. He just doesn't understand that I don't want to marry him just yet. I mean… I love having sex on a daily basis and look what happen to Marin here.

-Excuse me, but I do have sex.- Hannah answered- I mean, it's not everyday but I do have sex. At least I don't have kids yet.- she said then glared at Aria.

-Pardon me, Barbie. But my kid is an angel.- Aria looked offended. It was time to stop the fight before someone killed Hannah.

-Yeah. Francis is such a good boy… don't blame him because you are not getting enough, Han.- I told her as I took a sip from my glass.

-And are you getting enough, Em?-I looked at Hannah thinking it was her saying those lines- I thought Paige was out for the week…- Spencer erupted before my blonde friend could continue the argument.

-She is.-my voice broke a little when I said those words- God! I miss her as hell… Bed feels so empty without her presence. And she is missing our 7th anniversary- I tried to disguise some of my actual pain. She calls me but I still miss her so much.

It was great to go on a girl's night. Spencer could always use some rest for her unknown job, Aria is a mother so she needs a lot of time for herself, Hannah is married and I bet she loves to dish about Caleb's mistakes as a husband and me… well. I actually was feeling lonely with Paige's absence.

-Worry not, Emily. I bet she's been super busy.- Aria rubs my back while comforting me with words and getting me out of my thoughts.

-Yeah, Em. When she comes back you can eat the hell out of her.-Hannah said as she went back to texting.

-Hannah!- 3 voices seemed to make her blush more than one single voice.

I've always wondered if I really needed to get married. After all, Paige and I are really serious stuff but we were fine the way we were now… right?

Waking up next to Paige was bliss. It always makes me feel safe.

Just to stare at her was amazing. She would sleep less than me, but when she was tired I had the chance to watch her in her sleep.

She opened her eyes. We just stay there staring at each other for some minutes until she spoke.

-Hey, love.- she rub her eyes and then lean in for a brief kiss. Kissing her in the morning was better than kissing her during the day. Somehow it felt pure and just simple.

-Hey, gorgeous.

-Today is Sunday. Today we don't work. What do you feel like doing today? - She was always trying to get me out of bed on Sundays. She took my hand and I intertwined our fingers. Easy and natural like a perfect fit.

-You? - I asked as I squeeze her hand a little bit.

-Besides the obvious, silly.- she leaned in to give me a light kiss- I want to be with you today. Only with you and have a nice day off from work.

-Come on, Paige! You love your job.- She could be a drama queen from time to time.

-Who wouldn't? I get to give art class to kids and I run my own art company.-She said proudly- Also I have lovely artists at my command, a cool apartment and my office is the bomb. And as a plus, I'm gonna try out for the top swimming team in the US.

-Easy, hon. You may have the perfect life but you don't have the perfect wife- words escape my mouth before actually thinking of their effects.

The elephant was in the room now. You could cut the tension with a knife. Paige wouldn't say a thing but I could read the expression in her face. Discomfort and… pain? But even with the awkward situation here, she didn't let go of my hand.

-Em… Do you want to talk about this again? - Concern notable in her voice- Do you want to talk about our future, dear?

-I said something without thinking. I'm sorry, I really am… I know how little you like talking about this. I don't get why but I respect that now.

-Just to be clear- she sat up and led me to do the same when we were sit, she took my hand and place it in her chest just where I could feel her rapid heartbeat .- this heart, this stubborn heart is yours; only yours. It can't beat for anyone but you. It was and it will always be yours. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life by your side but you know what I want first. I'm not ready yet.

-I am.

-I know. I'm ready to make that commitment too but I want to give you more than what I have. This art thing is doing great but it's not there yet. I want my wife to not worry about a thing. I do want to be your wife and you to be mine. But we are not ready yet.

A tear escaped. I knew what she meant and she was (somehow) right. I took her hands and led them to my waist. My arms found their way to her neck and our lips melted into one. That was us, kissing. Simple reminder that I will wait forever if I had just to be with her... I will wait for her as much as she want because I know we will have our forever.

-8888888888888888888888888888 888-

-Em! Are you even listening to us?!- I was able to just hear that.

-Sorry, Aria. I kinda spaced out. You were saying?

-She was telling you that you should man up like Marin did. - Spencer looked at Hannah expecting a reaction and saw her texting- but it's obvious that you won't.

-Why is it obvious? - I enquired.

-Because you love her like crazy and you will wait til she's ready. –Spencer knew me better than anyone… aside from Paige.

-She will find the courage very, VERY soon Em.- Hannah loved Paige. They get along so well because of Caleb but her confidence in her voice was… too much.

-She will, Em. Be patient… you know how Paige is a waiting person.

-I know, short stuff. But I want this McFields thing to be official…

I just wish she could pop up the question… Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy our girl's night out. Drink, talk, dance… maybe even sing? Sing something for Paige would be nice.
