Wrapping an arm about her waist, he watches her throw pieces at the quacking ducks, he laughs a little at them the squabbling ducks fighting for the tastet morsle.
Their fingers skim eachother as he takes the piece of muffin, he feels like he's a 12 year old boy caught on his perfect girl crush, he can't stop smiling. "Here duckie, duckie." he taunts lightly, tossing some crumbs here and there.
"Ain't it? The weather is really good today." his eyes squint up into the sky, mindlessly tossing muffin into the water infront of them. He takes in a deep breath in of the fresh air blowing around him.
"yeah I like it in the park, it's generally so nice and peaceful apart from that time with the mime and when Geoff got beaten up you can just sit and think." she looks up at him for a moment and smiles
She really does feel happy right now, she could almost forgot the whole Target for Evil thing
Sawyer wraps his arm tighter around her waist, "Come sit with me then?" he asks her in a low husky voice, his throat going dry in fear of what he was going to say next. He was such a coward all of a sudden, what the hell!
He takes his seat, his heart pounding out of his chest as he turns to face her, "Now, darlin', I don't want you to take this the wrong way.." he chokes up in this throat, feeling as if he can't do it but he must, he leans in and kisses her lightly on the lips, "I love you Paige." he sputters out quickly, it was so unlike him.
Paige looks at him for a moment there are too many thoughts going through her head mainly of the wtf variety though some are in the "but you'll danger" theme. She feels light headed for a moment, she can't say it back that would be lying.
She holds him tightly for a few moments trying to work out exactly what to say to him, she has to warn him
Finally she looks at him again "You-you shouldn't James, it's dangerous, I'm not normal, you might get hurt because of what I am and I couldn't bare that!"
His eyes are wide and his mouth gaping, he really had opened himself and all his vulnerableness to her; he felt slightly cheated out his emotions when she told him he shouldn't love her. It felt so wrong now, like he had shamed himself infront of her.
"I-I.." he can't make out the words coming out of his mouth, his face is up over her shoulder and his arms are wrapped about her waist.
Paige hugs him hard "James? I don't want you getting hurt because of me, I don't know exactly when this thing my Grams told me about will start but when it does the people I love will be danger and I don't want that to happen. I don't want you in danger because of our feelings for each other."
He pulls back, and hand stroking her jawline gently, "It's alright, darlin'." he says sweetly, leaning in to kiss her cheek. He really didn't understand her motives but he guessed she was right..in some way.
"I'm sorry James, I really don't know what to do. I mean I just really didn't expect that," she reaches up to play with his hair before kissing him, she really didn't know what to say, she still loved Geoff, but everything with Sawyer felt right and easy and knowing how he felt changed everything
That was the thing, he felt for someone for once and that was a big deal for him; he had never loved anyone since his Mama and she had died for his safety. He knew how she felt thought, she wasn't expecting the sudden rush of those words, neither was he but he knew it was right for him to say it.
Paige bites her lip and blushes "James what does this mean to whole open relationship thing? Cos I mean the whole point in me spliting up with Geoff was that we decided a needed a little more freedom for a while"
She closes her eyes, she felt like such a bitch, he'd just told her he loved her and all she was worried about was being tied down again
He fidgets with the bottom of his plaid shirt, "Well, you can do whatever and whomever you want...I just had to get out how I felt, an' all." he says as his eyes are stuck in his lap, watching his hands mess with a dangling thread.
Paige takes a deep breath "James I was going to tell you this last night, but well you know?" she says "you have to promise me you'll tell no one though ok? Cos this isn't just about me, it's about my sisters too."
He smiles, happy that she's going to atleast tell him something important, he cups her hands in his, "I promise." he's never promised anyone anything before, this made him feel..wanted.
Paige looks around to make sure there's no one nearby before starting to speak "when my Grams came she told us, me and my sisters, something, something well scary to be honest." She looks at him her eyes full of fear "I found out I'm from a long line of witches, only she said we were going to become the most powerful witches ever known, The Charmed Ones."
She stops waiting for his reaction before carrying on
If he can convey anything that remotely resembles sympathy for her, he tries it in his eyes, his hands grasp hers tightly at the news; he knew she was a witch but he could put up with that and knowing she would be the most powerful shaked him a little.
"Charmed Ones?" he asks back in a hushed tone, afraid that others may hear.
Paige nods holding his hands as tightly as she could "apparently it's our destiny to protect the world from evil, we don't know when it will begin Grams seemed to think it wouldn't be for a while yet. She bought a book with her to help us though in case we needed it. So we should be ok while we're here and well to be honest I'm not even sure how involved I am I mean Grams seemed to think I was part of the Charmed Ones because I was here at the school with Piper and Phoebe, but there's another sister at home Prue, so you know it might some sort of mix up" god I hope it is she thinks
"I had to tell you, if I act weird sometimes that's why, I have a lot on my mind and well you telling me you loved me just scared me because I don't want you getting caught up in all this. I know how unbelievable all this must this sound" she says still looking at him, her eyes now slightly less fearful
"After talkin' to a cat the other day, darlin' this aint close to being unbelieveable." he leans in and lands a comforting kiss upon her lips, he wants her to know that he'd stay with her as long as she wanted him too.
Paige kisses him back deeply before moving away a little "I do you know." she whispers into his ear hoping he knows what she means, saying the actual words will only make her think of Geoff and how much he hurt her and she really can't stand that now
A sigh of inner relief escapes him when she whispers into his ear, he feels as if his organs have just untwisted from doing the pretzel. "I know." he whispers back, feeling intune with her.
She wraps her arms around him feeling as if a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders, she really has someone she can trust with her deepest secrets and that felt good
"So, what next?" he lifts his eyes to meet hers, a look of bursting love exiting them to show to the world. He's really happy that he finally made her happy. Revealing his weakness was worth it.
Paige shrugs she really has no idea her only experince of love so far involved 2 very happy weeks followed by 2 weeks of going insane before being dumped by the so called love of her life
"I dunno" she says honestly "I kinda have an date tonight though, I mean I arranged it earlier. It's what we agreed right?"
"Jonathan Crane, we were talking while you were getting drinks, he was dressed as zombie and kinda paranoid about being shirtless I think. Do you know him?" she asks
He doesn't want to seem so clingy to her, so he doesn't even broach the subject of her spending the night with him, she's got a date. "Tomorrow it is then." he agrees.
Paige smiles resting her weight against him "I'm free on Wednesday so maybe you could come see my new room afterwards? I don't really like staying over when I have 8am classes the next day. I don't really like 8am classes much either" she says laughing
