Tattered Souls

Chapter 38: Take Me

Paige

After awhile , she pulls out her phone and smiles before laughing at something on it.

I tilt my head and she blushes a little. "Oh umm I was just checking the cameras. Happy is trying to climb onto the couch but his little legs won't let him." 

I raise an eyebrow confused.

"Who's happy?" Her eyes get a little big and she bites her lip seeming nervous.

"Oh I forgot to tell you, I got a dog."

 My jaw drops and I quickly rush over to grab her phone walking away with it.

"No way! You're lying!" I look at the screen and cover my mouth cooing over how cute he is.

He's trying so hard to get his little feet up on the couch but keeps plopping down.

"SHUT.UP. he's so adorable!" 

She laughs and tries to takes her phone back but I move it out of her grasp.

She rolls at me and huffs."Give me my phone back Paige." 

I smirk holding it farther away.

"Not until you take me to see happy. He's so cute I wanna squish him!" 

She rolls her eyes and reaches for it again causing me to back into the arm of the couch.

I stretch my arm back as far as I can laughing as she leans over me trying to get it.

She laughs and easily grabs it after pressing herself against me.

Now, she's pretty much towering over me and places a hand on my hip to balance herself. I can't help but blush when she smirks down at me. "You know I'm taller than you right?"

I roll my eyes and cross my arms. "I still want to meet him."

She rests her hands on either side of me and shrugs.

"It's not like you don't have a key." 

She goes to pull away and I notice the shirt she's wearing is the one I got her on her birthday after we graduated.

It's a blue exorcist shirt that I had custom made for her. Over time, it's turned into a work shirt for when she's in the yard or working out but she still wears it like it's brand new.

"I can't believe you still have this old thing." I say tugging on it.

She looks down and shrugs. "It's my favorite shirt."

I smile a little and notice that I got make up on it earlier when I was crying. "Oh no, I got make up on it it!"

I try to wipe it off but she stops me. "It's fine. I'll just wash it later."

 I shake my head and lead her to the kitchen.

"I have a tide stick. That should work." She leans against the counter as I rummage through the drawer.

"Found it! Hold still and I should be able to get it off. "She nods and I stand between her legs so I can get close enough.

I pull on the hem of the shirt to get some tension and start scrubbing away at the stain. 

After awhile, it finally comes out but now there's a big wet spot on her shirt.

"Well the stains gone, but it's got a wet spot now."

I look up to apologize and blush when I realize how close we are.

She's looking down at me and I'm wedged between her legs practically leaning onto her chest. "Oh I'm sorry!"

 I go to back away and trip over my own feet.

Before I can fall, she hops down from the counter and catches me pulling me close again. 

"Careful there doll."

Her hand clasps over her mouth after the words spill out.

My eyes tear up because that's the first time I've heard her call me that in weeks.

I used to hate when she called me that because she said the reason she gave me the name in the first place is because I reminded her of Lola bunny.

It's a silly little nickname, but I love it when she calls me that now.

 "I'm sorry, I probably should go."

I quickly grab her as she turns to leave and kiss her right next to her lips.

I wanted to kiss her so badly, but it would be too much right now. "Paige I.."

 I shush her and kiss her cheek.

I pull the ring off of my ring finger and set it on the counter.

She tilts her head at me and I smile at her as I gently caress her face . "Please take me."
