"Geez Paige, get your lazy ass outta that tub!"
"Why? I'm comfortable here" someone tried to unlock the door, luckily I locked it once Sonja left. I heard someone sigh
"Please Paige, otherwise i'm gonna go get your brother"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry!" the water sloshed as I tried to get out, grabbing the grey towel off the towel lid, wrapping it around me.
"Five minutes, I better find this door open by then! I don't want to wake up your brother" Sonja snorts. I unlock the door, poking my head around the door frame to look at her.
"Yes Ma'am!" I salute her with my hand, the other one tucking in the corner of the towel so it doesn't fall down.
"Atleast you've recovered for the water" she whispers, signaling me in for a hug. I snuggle my head into her cotton t-shirt, her pj's. I pull away after a moment, leaving a wet stain on her shirt. I smirk, pointing a the watermark.
"sorry" she shrugs my apology off
"don't worry about it, come on, it's like twenty to twelve"
"Oh, ok, I'm right behind you"

I followed Sonja down the hall and into the bedroom.

I stopped outside of the boy's room, the door was slightly ajar. So me being the person I was, I went in.

Two out of the three boys were asleep. A soft glow came from the furthest bed, a laptop glow. I was trying to figure out who he was, he looked up and cleared his throat. I looked up into his eyes, blushing at the fact that he caught me staring.
"Paige?" he whispers, eyebrows locked together in confusment. I stood still, arms hugging me towel.
"Paige?" he slides the laptop off his bare chest, placing the earphones on the keyboard, he hops off his bed, walking towards me.
"Paige" he breathes a sigh of relief.
"Hmm?" I look at him
"You don't know what happened do you?"

I shrugged "do I really want to know?"

He breaks eye contact, looking down at his feet "not really"

I tuck the corner of my towel under my arm, so it didn't slip loose. He tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, looking at my lips, then making eye contact. I bit my lip, half smirking.

Tom was wound around my little finger.

Smirking I grab his hand, slowly letting go as I walk away. Tom whines, pulling me back, wrapping his hands around my waist, sliding down ever so slowly.
"Oi!" I put his hands on my back, where they're meant to be. Wrapping my arms around him again, snuggling my head into his chest. He kissed the rop of my head, resting his cheek on my head, humming ever so softly. I look up, gazing into his own unique brown eyes.
"I'm glad you're ok" he whispers, placing more kisses on my forehead.

"I know you want to be more than friends"

He rests his head on mine again.

"Paige Maron, will you go out with me?"
