Chapter 3
Walter wrenched open the door and was saw Paige leaning on the door jamb with her fist still raised in the air. "Wha-" "Shut up!" Walter gave her a confused look. "You have ruined me for other men. You are consistently aware of the needs of Ralph and I more than anyone else. You have also constantly traded your life for mine in a dangerous situation when you are more important to the world than I am." She held up a hand to stop him speaking. "What other kind of man could I possibly want? I have tried so many times to get you to see that a relationship in the workplace would not be so detrimental to Scorpion's productivity. In fact that it would have the opposite effect and make the company more efficient. Yet every single time, you either didn't pick up on my signals or you did and in fact chose to ignore it because you thought that there was no way you could be wrong. While it did hurt that you couldn't see that us being together would be worthwhile, I still love you and was willingly to make you see sense and wait for you. Then you started dating Linda and I was so badly hurt and I thought that you had moved on so I chose to date Tim since you seemed happy with her." She moved closer to Walter and caressed his cheek and gave him a small smile. "But every time I went out with him he didn't give me the same feelings that you invoked in me since the day that I met you. You are a stubborn, tactless, and all together arrogant man," she could see the pain flicker in his eyes and he hung his head but she raised it back and looked him full in the face "but there is not a man that I have loved or possibly will ever love more than you Walter O'Brian." She raised herself slightly and kissed him. Just like that first kiss they shared, it was filled with passion and Paige immediately started running her hands through Walter's thick curls.
Walter could not believe that Paige was kissing him. After everything he said tonight he never expected this outcome. Through the kiss he could tell Paige was giving him another chance. He wasn't a genius for nothing and he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. He instantly wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him and prevented her from moving away. He kissed her back and he could hear her moan in appreciation. He licked her bottom lip and she uttered a small gasp but opened her mouth and he deepened the kiss. After several minutes of their tongues battling each other, they eventually separated as soon as oxygen became necessary.
They looked deeply into each other's eyes as they panted. Walter spoke "I love you too Paige Dineen and I'm sorry that I waited so long to tell you that."
She giggled. "I love you too. So was there a question that you were wanting to ask me?"
He laughed and said " Yes. Well you see I have these tickets…for the Lake Tahoe Jazz and Heritage Festival..and I was wondering if you would like to go..with.." "Spit it out O'Brian!" She mock glared at him. He smiled. "Will you go with me?" "Hmm, well I don't know." She teased him by making a mock thoughtful face. "I mean it is kind off short notice." She caressed his face and said in a sweet voice after giving him a chaste kiss. "Of course, I'll go with you."
Walter beamed and shyly asked her. "Would you also consent to becoming my girlfriend?"
This time Paige smiled widely, threw her arms around his neck and gave him a huge hug. "Yes! Yes! Absolutely. I thought you would never ask. Although just because we said we love each other doesn't mean you get to see me naked though." Walter blushed and Paige smiled at how easy it was to tease him. "We'll get there in time but just knowing we love each other will make it so much easier when the time comes." She gave him one more kiss before pulling back. "Now, I have to go home and relieve the sitter and take care of Ralph, but when I come in tomorrow, I really hope to see you with a big smile on your face, two mugs of cinnamon coffee in your hands, and a kiss waiting for me." "Consider it done, my lady." One more chaste kiss then, "Goodnight Walter. I love you" "I love you too. Goodnight Paige." With a huge smile on her face, she walked out the door.
