Paxton Walker

"Would it be lame if I said a heart cut?" Waverly asked with a laugh. "I think heart shaped rings are just cute. Though if you could me an angement ring in the shape of a turtle, that would be cool." She laughed and looked at him. "I love you." She said and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for whisking me away to Italy and being amazing."

"Of course not, I think a heart cut would be suiting. You have my heart and all." He knew it sounded cheesy but he loved being cheesy with Waverly. "A turtle cut? I could see about making that work. Don't think we'll find one in Italy but who knows." Paxton smiled after she kissed his cheek. "I figured we could use a little getaway. It's needed after all the chaos of this year." He hugged her tightly, kissing the top of her head. "I love you, Wave."

"That is so cute and adorable, it almost makes me want to throw up." Ivy grinned. "And that's a compliment in case you were wondering." She looked at Paxton. "Not really. I'm enjoying my single era fully which is more fun since I'm traveling a lot for my tour."

"Making you almost throw up is a compliment? Well, thanks, Ivy." Paxton laughed, "Hey, enjoy the single era. I'm sure you have a lot of guys lined up wanting to take you out tho, you're a catch. How is the tour going? Are you playing any shows around here that I can bring Wave to?"

"That's good you found your place then. Amsterdam does seem like a beautiful place to live, though." He smiled but then it faded as she mentioned the possible relationship troubles. "Have you talked to him about it at all? I mean, I know those conversations can get awkward and messy, but at least you'd know if you're on the same page or not. What'd your friends say?"

"I'm planning to sit him down and talk to him about it as soon as possible." Vivienne told him and nodded her head. "It's a long story. The thing is that they were all in North Carolina before. My friends, Topper and Rafe. Rafe and Topper did some horrible things to them and that's why they are the sworn enemy of my friends. Could he possibly be using me, Paxton? I've been having my doubts."

Paxton listened to Vivienne and nodded, "Fuck, that's a lot. I mean, maybe? I don't know the guy or what he's like at all. Do you get the vibes he's using you? I always say listen to your gut but if you like the guy and he likes you, you definitely need to talk it out. Try and see if it's just a misunderstanding or something. He could very well just like you, Viv. I mean, you're a great girl. I think he'd be dumb if he didn't and was just using you." He pushed his brows together, "I guess it also comes down to if you think that they've changed at all? I've done some shit things and I'd like to think I've grown from that. It would suck to have it constantly held over your head or used against you."

"i think they love me because i've babysat you and your brother a few times when they really needed a sitter." quinn laughed and looked at him. "thank you, paxton. how are you doing? what's been new with you?"

"That's very true. You were always the coolest babysitter even though I thought I was old enough." He laughed, "I'm doing really good, Wave and I have been in a great place. I'm wrapping up Frozen and then enjoying a little downtime before college starts up. Besides graduating, whats new with you?"

"thanks man, sadly, i don't think that'll happen since i haven't heard any words about a trip coming up. i think it was just an idea that obie had that never fully got out of he planning stage."

"Oh shit, well if you want to go on a double date trip with Waverly and I, we could plan something. I know it's not the same as your whole friends group but we're good company. Don't have to go anywhere crazy so we can coordinate easier. My folks got a cabin upstate and we could spend a weekend up there?"

Waverly smiled and follwed Paxton over to ere their clothes were. "How about this?" She asked as she picked up a cute dres she had bought when they first arrived in Italy but hadn't had the chance to wear yet. "You are the one that talked me into buying it, it's only right I should wear it now."

Paxton looked at the dress Waverly pulled out and he smiled widely, "I think you'll look absolutely gorgeous in that one, baby." He went over and kissed her cheek, "I think it's fitting for ring shopping." He took her hand in his, his fingers running over her ring finger slowly, "Do you already know what cut you'd want? Or have you never really thought of it before?"

"Yeah." Waverly smiled. "We can make a whole day of it and go eat lunch together and just have a romantic day."

"I'm sure they have some really beautiful ones here." Paxton returned the smile and took her hand in his, playing with where the ring would be on her finger. "Let's do it. We gotta get up and dressed first though." he laughed, kissing her cheek before he forced himself out of the bed to dig through his suitcase for something to wear.

"What's got you drinking like this anyways?"

"It's gonna sound stupid given I did it to myself but, my brother. It really gets to me sometimes how bad I hurt him. He hasn't spoken to me since he beat the fuck out of me and I don't blame him... but I just hope he's doing alright."

"Some people do, yeah." Dan nodded and looked at Paxton. "People know how to hold grudges, that's for sure." He said. "I have been writing, being off of social media has helped me a lot, plus I took some time away to go clear my head and just be with nature. t was nice."

"Well, I'm not one of those people, so nothing to worry about here. It was the past, you've grown as a person, your involvement is done and over with." He shrugged, "That's good, honestly a brek from social media sounds like a dream. Where'd you go to be with nature? My family has a place upstate that I usually head to when I need to get out of the city."

"I do hope to go back there just to see Amsterdam and him for a few days. I think my life is now here but I still like that place!" Vivienne told him and nodded. "Yes but to be perfectly honest I'm a little scared. I was sure when I said yes to my ex fiance. Topper and I? I think we're moving too fast. Call it my PI work instinct but I wanna make sure he's really in love with me. I hope my friends were not right about him."

"That's good you found your place then. Amsterdam does seem like a beautiful place to live, though." He smiled but then it faded as she mentioned the possible relationship troubles. "Have you talked to him about it at all? I mean, I know those conversations can get awkward and messy, but at least you'd know if you're on the same page or not. What'd your friends say?"

"We would, we could go to Paris and have lunch at a cabaret show." Max said with a smile. "Or are you tame now that you've gotten a girlfriend?"

"You want to just hop on a plane to Paris right now for that?" Paxton laughed, "I mean, I'm up for it. I don't think Wave would mind as long as I behave. She trusts me enough I'd like to think. Though, I'd like to give her more of a heads-up. How about we plan on it for after the fourth?"

"She's currently there to study about acting so I'm not sure if she can. That's a great idea though, I'll just give her a call everytime I'm hearing them fight." Hal gave his friend a reassuring smile. "Thank you, Pax. I'll have to talk with Amber about that. How are you doing? Are you going to the pool party thing?"

"Maybe she could come for a weekend or something? Or that works too, just calling. At least you can have someone close to you to talk to even if they aren't physically beside you." He returned the smile and nodded, "Yeah, just let me know. I'm doing really good actually. Waverly and I are in a great place, Frozen has been amazing, and yeah." He shrugged, "I'm not sure about the pool party. It's not really my style, plus after the last party I don't really know why anyone would go."

"Clever choice, Walker. The upset version of me can be very terrifying." She smirked. "How are things going with her now?"

"Oh, I have no doubts about that, Ivy." He laughed, "Things are going really great. We're still just as madly in love. She's my entire world. Her parents love me, and mine love her. It's working out nicely for once." He gave her a soft smile, "You got anyone youre interested in?"

Waverly leaned down and put a hand on his cheek. "Let's go look at engagement rings." She said with a smile.

Paxton's eyes widened but due to it scaring him, it was because he was actually really excited. "Really?" He returned her smile, "Let's do it."

"Do you want to see him first when we get back?" Waverly asked. "I can go with you if you want me to." She offered and sat up in their bed and straddled Paxton's lap. "Wanna do something crazy today?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"No, I don't really want to push him. He'll come around when he's ready." He wanted it to be true but he didn't know if he were being honest with himself. Paxton's hands went straight to Waverly's hips as she straddled him. He smiled up and her and nodded, "Of course I do. Was there something you had in mind, sweetheart?"

Waverly smiled. "We have to get our families together so they can finally meet. My mom wants to cook a whole meal for your parents and Dean is invited too. I don't know if you've spoken to Dean lately, but my mom just really likes to cook, as you know." She looked at him and ran a hand through his hair and looked at him.

"We do!" Paxton beamed, "I think our parents would get along great. When we get back we'll have to set something up. I'm not sure if Dean's going to be there." He sighed, "I haven't spoke to him at all since he kicked the shit out of me." He admitted, "I just hope he's not getting back into the shit he used to do. I'd feel like even more of a dick if he did." He smiled as Waverly ran her fingers in his hair. "But regardless, my folks will definitely come."
