Thank you for Reading this chapter it means a lot to know that my story still has readers.
Well hope you'll like the chapter.
Paige's POV:
"Hanna if you only knew" I mumbled as I started to walk towards my room to put some clothes on.
Suddenly I hear a scream from the kitchen so I ran into the kitchen thinking that A's men were about to kidnap Hanna. I tackled down the door only to see a confused Hanna.
"Paige weren't you going to put some clothes on?" Hanna said staring at me confused.
"Hanna, you screamed..." I said as I noticed that no one else were in the kitchen.
"Yeah, I burnt my hand when I tried to figure out how this coffee machine works." Hanna said rubbing her hand.
I walked up to the coffee maker and pressed on the restart button and then I pressed the start button and then the coffee was done.
I grabbed my cup and took a sip from some warm coffee.
"And that's how you make black coffee" I said. Hanna looked confused at the coffee maker. "I... I think I get it now" she said but I could tell that she had no ideas how to use my coffee maker.
"Ok Paige you can go and put on some clothes now" Hanna said and pressed the off button.
I looked at her getting frustrated and started randomly pressing buttons, so I walked up to her and started the coffee maker.
"Hanna if I leave you alone with this advanced tech you'll probably end up blowing up my home" She didn't say anything she just smirked at me.
15 minutes later
Hanna and I had just finished our breakfast and we just left the kitchen.
"So Paige what are the odds that I speeded the night with you before Emily your girlfriend?"
"I know what you mean Hanna but it doesn't count unless both are in the same bed at the same time." And I was never in bed I was out to save my girlfriend. "And besides you were in a guest room." I answered Hanna hoping that she wouldn't turn my words against me.
"Yeah Paige I just wonder you have a lot of guest rooms but have you never considered having someone moving in with you?" Hanna says changing the subject.
"No Hanna I haven't." I say annoyed that she hadn't given up.
I lead her to the living room and gave her the remote,
"Here pick any show you want I'm going to get dressed." I said and started to walk to my room.
"Ok, I'll just scroll through the channels until I find something." She says and sits down on the cough.
I went up the stairs Putted on a black tank top and blue jeans before walking back down to find Hanna glued in front of the TV, she found a shopping channel for clothes, it seems like she'll be watching that for a long time.
"So Hanna I'm going to call Caleb and see if he can pick you up." I said fishing up my cell phone from my back pocket.
"You know if I was your roommate I'd already be home." Hanna said still trying to move into my house, when will this girl just give up?
"Yeah, it's Caleb" I heard Caleb's voice on the phone.
"Hi Caleb its Paige, can you pick up your girlfriend?" I see that Hanna is giving me sad puppy dog eyes, so I put him on speaker "And tell her to go with you to her home."
"No I can't let you live alone here." She says acting like a 5-year-old.
"For the last time Hanna, I'm not looking for a roommate" I said sternly. Why can't she just give up?
"Don't bother, when she has her eyes set on something, she goes into shutdown mode" Caleb says over the phone not knowing he's on speaker.
"Huh? What are we talking about?" Hanna looks at the phone.
"Oh, nothing babe I'll come and pick you up soon. Caleb says before hanging up.
"So Paige do you have a brother that also lives here?" Hanna asks me. "No Hanna I'm an only child." I answer her.
"Well if I have your aunt adopting me we'll be like sisters and sisters share guest rooms." She said.
"Hanna if my aunt adopts you you'll be my cousin and you'll live at her house." I explained to her.
"Come on Paige you like my company." She says not giving up, she's more stubborn than Spencer at this point.
"Yes and I'd like to continue doing so." I say keeping my cool.
"Come on Paige just try for a week I'll even clean the mansion four times a week."
Wow she really wants to live here, since Emily told me Hanna hates to clean up.
"My aunt already cleans the mansion every day when I'm at school."
"But I'll clean it in a French maids outfit." Hanna quickly answers.
"I don't want that, Hanna..."
"Then I'll clean the mansion naked" Hanna says cutting me off.
"No, you're Emily's favorite friend" I say lying since I don't know who Emily likes best "It would just be weird to explain to her why you are here naked."
My plan seemed to work Hanna looks at me like she has won the lottery.
"I am Emily's favorite?" Hanna says stunned.
"Oh yeah, she told me when I asked who she likes to spend time with when she isn't with me." I continue lying to distract Hanna and it worked.
"But if you ask her she'll probably deny it, you know she doesn't want to make anyone jealous." I say to Hanna so she won't ask Emily if what I said was the truth.
A few minutes later Caleb opened the door and Hanna happily bounced of the cough and ran right into his arms hugging him tightly.
"Babe she is mean to me, she won't let me be her roommate" Hanna said pretending that she was upset.
"Really? Well that's uncool" Caleb said but I could tell that he knew Hanna wasn't sad for real.
"Ok, come on Hanna." Caleb said grabbing Hanna's thighs and lifting her making her wrap her legs around him.
"Get a room you guy's and no Hanna you can't borrow one of my guest rooms." I said and Caleb walked out still holding Hanna while he walked to his car.
"Those two, they are just enough" I said to myself while I closed the door. But even though I'd never say it to them I wish that Emily and I would be like that one day.
That afternoon
I heard someone knocking on my door so I walked to check, when I opened the door it was Emily.
"Hi Paige my mom is going to be out late can I stay with you for a while, I just don't want to be alone?"
"Yes of course Em" I say holding up the door for her, if there was one thing I'd never get tired of it would be Emily's company.
Emily's POV:
"Thank you Paige" I say giving her a small smile that makes her blush.
We walked to the living room and sat down on the cough to watch a movie, I leaned my head on Paige's shoulder and she kissed me on top of my head.
"Em, are you going to eat at home or do you want to join me for my famous phone call to a Chinese place." Paige says making me laugh.
"I think I'll stay with you." I say looking into her deep brown eyes.
"Ok I'll just go and get the takeout menu." Paige says walking to the kitchen and I lean back onto the cough and drops my keys to the floor.
I lean down to pick up my keys and sees a black leather sleeve, probably from one of Paige's jackets.
I pull on the sleeve from under the cough and sees that it wasn't a jacket it was something else, I stand up and hold the material in front of me and immediately I recognize what I hold in my hands, it's Batgirl's suite the one she wore when she saved me from Maya last night. Paige walks in with the takeout menu in her hands.
"So Em do you want the noodle soup or do you want to share..." She cuts herself off in mid-sentence when she sees me holding the bat suit in my hands.
"Paige what is the meaning of this?" I ask even if I already knew the answer.
"Em listen it's not..."
"NO PAIGE YOU DON'T GET TO TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS. ANSWER ME!" I yell frustrated that Paige would keep something like this from me.
"Em I don't know how to explain this." Paige says looking to the floor.
"WERE YOU EVER GOING TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS YOU ALL THIS TIME?" I say feeling my blood boil. Paige doesn't answer.
"I thought so" I say throwing the bat suit on Paige and in anger I walk out of her mansion slamming the door behind me.
Paige's POV:
That night
I was wearing my bat suit, after me and Emily had our little fight I was worried that she had broken up with me or not since she never said that we're done.
I didn't want to lose her not now not ever and I was going to tell her that right now.
I started the stealth bike and drove to Emily's house. It was dark and not a cloud in the sky and it was a full moon tonight.
I reached the Field's house and parked the stealth bike on the side-walk putting it in camo mode just in case.
I fired my grapple hook to get into an open window.
As I landed inside I noticed it was Emily's room. I looked around and saw some swimming medals and a few trophies.
As I was about to search the house for Emily the door opened and there was Emily, she was obviously going to bed since she was wearing a loose T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts.
She looked up and noticed me, she just gave me a stern look didn't panic, didn't scream just giving me a stern look.
"Emily I don't expect you to talk to me but please just hear me out, it's true I'm Batgirl" I said taking off my mask showing her my face." It's always been me."
I took a step towards her. "When I was seven years old my parents took me to a concert and I got scared during the show so we decided to leave and go home. When we were outside we took a shortcut through a dark alley but suddenly this hooded figure walked up to us and said that A wanted to get all of his new weapons and when they didn't want to agree with him he shoot them on the spot and when he was going to kill me he was out of bullets so he left me with my dead parents." The painful memory brought tears to my eyes." After that I trained in a lot of self-defense and martial arts and then a took one of the company military suites and changed it to the Batgirl suite and started to hunt A to make sure that no one would go through what happened to me. But today I realized that didn't want to lose anyone especially not you. Emily I love you."
I could see in her eyes that she was conflicted, I walked up to her and kissed her softly on her lips.
She didn't react so I turned around and walked towards the window.
Suddenly I felt a grip around my left wrist, Emily spun me around and pushed me up against the wall pressing her lips to mine and her tong slid across my bottom lip asking for access which I granted her, I opened my mouth and our tongues battled for dominance, when we broke the kiss she bit my bottom lip making me moan softly.
"I don't want to lose you either Paige, just don't keep anything else from me." She says with her big smile on her face.
"I promise no more secrets." I said and then we kissed again.
