Thank you for the reviews, favourites and follows!

4 – I love you because you made me break my rules.

Paige was used to accusations of being cold and distant, and her 'no PDA' rule did nothing to change that. She wasn't sure why it was a deal breaker for so many, but then again there were a lot of things she didn't understand about the opposite sex.

It turns out there wasn't a lot she understood about herself either.

By this point on a first date she had usually told whoever she was with not to hold her hand, not to put an arm around her and definitely not to kiss her in the middle of the restaurant. By this point on her date with Seth, he had done all three. Surprisingly, she didn't have a problem with this. That was worrying.

"You alright over there?" Paige's silence worried Seth, who had always known her to never stop talking.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking."

"About how hot I am?" Seth teased.

"Well you do look good in a suit, Rollins." That annoyingly cute smile of his grew on his face after her compliment.

"And you look lovely in a dress." Just when Paige thought she couldn't melt any further, he had to go and say that. Brilliant.

Seth wasn't supposed to make her feel like this. She wasn't supposed to feel like this on the first date. Her eyes zoned in on his lips, and she realised that maybe it was time to stop thinking about what she should do, and start doing what she felt like doing. She leaned over the table and kissed him.

A few months ago that wouldn't have happened, but this was a new Paige, and she liked it.

5 – I love you because you love me.

With frail fingers Paige set the phone face down. There was no way she was looking back at it for the rest of the night. Thinking of the last text she sent, the memories of every single time Seth had said "I love you" hit her with full force. The very first time was on a rollercoaster, and she wasn't sure if she believed him. It might just have been the adrenalin talking. It was the look in his eyes that caused her to realise that unlike the others, he was telling the truth.

The second "I love you" came after he'd tried to cook her a meal – 'tried' being the operative word. Seth Rollins was great at many things (annoying everyone about CrossFit, reminding the world he was the future of the company etc.), but cooking was not one of them. However, Paige's favourite memory of those three words came at a time when he wasn't even addressing her.

To put it simply, meeting Seth's parents for the first time was awkward. It seemed as though they disliked her almost immediately, and took any opportunity they could to make her feel uncomfortable. She didn't really care, the only person whose opinion mattered was Seth. Sure it would be nice to be accepted by his parents, but was she dating them? No, she was dating the two-toned high-flyer who loved her as much as she loved him.

Seth was in the middle of a conversation on the phone when she walked in. He was facing the window, and had no idea she had even entered the room.

"I love you guys, but you are completely wrong when it comes to her. You never even gave her a chance." Paige heard voices on the other line before Seth cut them off. "Listen, I love her and there isn't anything you can do about it."

The memory was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. Fuck.

Seth wanted to ignore the texts, he really did, but then the fifth one came in.

'I love you because you love me.'

After 2 months without her, those 7 words finally got Seth to admit to himself that he was still in love with her. If he spoke to her he'd find out if this was a problem or not. That, combined with the knowledge that he wasn't going to get much sleep anyway, forced him to call her.

Paige's worst fears were confirmed when she picked up her phone and saw his name flash across the screen. All she wanted was to hear his voice again, though she knew she probably didn't deserve it. Preparing to answer the phone, she reminded herself that whatever he was going to say wouldn't hurt as much as it did having to walk past him every day as if nothing had ever happened between them.

"Hi." She answered.

"How drunk are you?" was all Seth asked.

"What?" Somehow she imagined he would say something much different.

"How drunk are you? I need to know before having this conversation."

"Drunk enough to send you those texts." She frowned at Seth's sigh on the other line. "Please don't do that."

"What do you want me to do, laugh? Celebrate? I didn't think we'd ever end up like this." Silence engulfed them and Paige hated it. She hated knowing that their relationship had been damaged forever, and she hated that it was all her fault.

Maybe his parents were right about her. No, she couldn't let that be the case.

"I'm sorry I'm an idiot and I ruined what we had. I meant everything I said in those texts, I miss you." Each second that passed until he responded felt like years.

"I miss you too." Seth drummed his fingers on his thigh. It was time to be brave. "We should do something about that, because I'm sick of pretending you don't matter to me."

"N-Next Thursday?" Paige couldn't believe this was happening.

"I'll pick you up at 8." It was almost like things were back to normal. Seth yawned, looking at the time. "It's 2:22, have any idea what that means?"

"No clue."

"Well I've been doing some research. Apparently it's the number of partnership and relationships. You've gotta pay attention to who you're talking to at this time, they could be quite important. It can also mean a new beginning."

"I guess this can be our new beginning."

"I look forward to it."

It wasn't a surprise to anyone that Paige and Seth got back together. After all, who else would whine about Valentine's Day with her? Who was best at encouraging her? Who made wishes with her? Who has no problem breaking rules with her? Who loves her?

Seth Rollins. No one else but Seth Rollins.

Another thank you for reading, I had a lot of fun writing this!
