Issues/Hold On - Paige Bueckers

Part 5 of House of Lies series

You are pissed. Part of you felt like you had every right to be. The other half just wants to understand why Paige would invade your privacy on that level. Expose you to Caitlin like that.

You walk over to Claire and she sees you are upset. It wouldn't be clear to anyone else but her, Kate, Angel and Paige. Maybe even Caitlin.

"What's wrong Baby Martin?" Claire comes over and hugs you. You smile at her.

"We are not biological." You argue. "You give the same sad face she does. I think you are definitely a Martin in another life." You roll your eyes and she pulls you to sit with her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"I want to but I don't think it's right to talk to you about it and not her first. It's just I want to scream at her right now."

"You are talking calmly with me right now."

"Because you aren't her."

"Then do that when talking to her. But please be understanding. But why are you really pissed?"

"Because I found out from someone else not her." Claire sits quietly. It sucks finding out from someone else instead of the direct source. Because it makes you think were they ever going to tell you or take it to the grave.

Before Claire can speak again Kate is walking over.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm all good."

"Nothing baby."

"Yea I'll believe you two when a cow jumps over the moon. Seriously what's going on?" Kate squats down so she isn't towering.

"Nothing, but I do think you should be a great big sister and go get me a Shirley temple." You say and bat your lashes. She sighs.

"I literally just left the bar. You suck." She smacks your knee as you stick out your tongue and lean back into her girlfriend. She rolls her eyes and stand up. "Do you want anything baby?"

"A refill." The barbie blonde says as she gestures to her glass while she's hugging you to her.

"Sometimes I think you like Baby Martin more than me."

"No baby I don't." You feign like your feelings are hurt. Claire laughs. "I love you Kate you know that love." Kate smiles and leans down to kiss her. "That I do." Before Kate gets to far Claire makes a show of kissing your head and telling you she likes you more. Kate shakes her head and flicks you off.

"I don't like either of you." She yells over her shoulder as she walks to the bar. Kate disappears and Claire has to switch her brain back to what you said earlier.

"You know your secret is safe with me right?" You nod. "Okay well this is one of those times you two need to buckle down and have a hard conversation. Neither one of you running from it. Or being immature about it. Even if the situation is about an immature moment."

"I just don't want this to be blown out of proportion, because it's kinda of revolves around Caitlin."

"Ohhhhh.... Is it that bad?"

"Yes and no. I've finally made actual peace with Caitlin.... Ughhh I just need to talk to Paige." You eye your girlfriend from across the way. She's definitely upset with herself. She was going to bring it up later. She wasn't in her right mind when she did it. She fucked up big time. She's just praying you don't just walk away.

"Paige." Her head snaps up and meets your eyes. You squat to her level and place your hands on her knees. "Just to clarify I am upset with you right now. I'm sure you know why. I don't think it's best if we talk right now because I truly just want to yell at you for doing what you did...."
