~Y/n's POV~
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I found myself at Paige's apartment, ready for a day filled with baking and movies. The sun was streaming through the windows, casting a warm glow over the cozy living room. Paige had always had a knack for making any space feel like home, and her apartment was no exception.
"Hey, Y/n, can you grab the flour from the pantry?" Paige called out from the kitchen, her voice cheerful and inviting.
"Sure thing!" I replied, heading over to the pantry and retrieving the bag of flour. I couldn't help but smile as I watched Paige move around the kitchen with ease, her apron tied snugly around her waist. She looked so cute and focused on the task at hand.
I handed her the flour, and she gave me a grateful smile. "Thanks! We're making chocolate chip cookies today. I hope you're ready to get your hands dirty."
"Absolutely," I said with a grin. "There's no better way to spend a Sunday."
We started mixing the ingredients together, and before long, the kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of cookie dough. Paige and I worked side by side, chatting and laughing as we went.
"Remember that time we tried to make brownies and ended up with a chocolate volcano?" Paige asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
I laughed, recalling the disaster. "How could I forget? We were covered in chocolate for hours!"
Paige laughed, and I couldn't help but feel a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Moments like these were what made our relationship so special.
"You have something on your nose," Paige said, dragging me out of my thoughts. I reached one finger up to feel a bit of sugar on my nose. Paige moved closer, towering over me, and gently pecked my nose, making me giggle.I pulled Paige closer by her apron and she grinned, her large hands gripping my waist and pushing me against the counter, her lips pressing didn't against mine.

As we waited for the cookies to bake, we decided to cuddle up on the couch. Paige grabbed a cozy blanket, and we settled in, my head resting on her shoulder."This is nice," Paige murmured, her voice soft and content.
"Yeah, it really is," I agreed, pulling her arm around me. "I love spending time with you."
Paige looked down at me with a smile. "Me too,
Y/n. You're my favorite person in the world."I felt my cheeks flush with warmth at her words. Paige never had been sentimental. "You're my favorite too, Paige."
We sat there in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company. The smell of freshly baked cookies soon filled the air, and Paige reluctantly got up to check on them.
"They're ready!" she announced, pulling the tray out of the oven. "Do you want to try one while they're still warm?"
"Definitely," I said, eagerly reaching for a cookie. I took a bite, and the gooey chocolate chips melted in my mouth. "These are amazing!"
Paige beamed with pride. "I'm glad you like them. I made them with extra love." She wiggled her eyebrows at me.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, it definitely shows."
We spent the next hour munching on cookies and chatting about everything and nothing. It was so easy to talk to Paige, and I felt like I could be myself around her.
Eventually, we decided it was time to watch a movie. Paige had a collection of DVDs, and we spent a few minutes debating which one to watch.
"How about a classic rom-com?" Paige suggested, holding up a copy of "When Harry Met Sally."
"Perfect choice," I said, settling back onto the couch. Paige snuggled up next to me, and I draped the blanket over both of us.
As the movie played, we found ourselves laughing at the funny moments and sighing at the romantic ones. My head was resting on Paige's chest, and I could feel her warmth around me. It was such a comforting feeling, and I couldn't help but feel incredibly happy in that moment.
"Do you think we'll ever have a love story like that?" Paige asked softly, her eyes fixed on the screen.
I thought for a moment before answering. "I think we already have a pretty great story, Paige. Maybe it's not exactly like the movies, but it's ours, and that's what makes it special."
Paige looked up at me with a smile. "You're right, Y/n. Our story is pretty amazing."
We continued watching the movie, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for having Paige in my life. She was more than just a girlfriend; she was someone who made every moment brighter and more meaningful.
As the credits rolled, Paige let out a content sigh. "That was such a good movie. Thanks for spending the day with me, Y/n."
"Thank you for inviting me," I replied, giving her a gentle squeeze. "I had the best time."
Paige looked up at me with a mischievous glint in her eye. "So, what do you say we make this a regular thing? Baking, movies, and cuddles every Sunday?"
I grinned. "I think that sounds like the perfect plan."
Paige's smile widened, and she pulled me closer to her. "I'm really glad you're in my life, Y/n."
"Me too, Paige," I said softly. "Me too."
