Pretty Little Liars.
Emily and Aria.
(Italic inside like this) = inner thoughts.
Aria's POV*
"I can't believe that we graduate in two weeks." I say to Spencer as we are walking to the school parking lot.
"I am still shocked that they are letting us graduate." Spencer says as we get into her car.
"I'm excited about tonight, it's been too long since we had a good ol' fashion sleepover. Do we have all the supplies to sustain us for two days of total rest and relaxation?"
"I think so, but we are meeting Hanna and Emily at the brew to make sure everything is organized." Spencer says with that look of concentration on her face that tells me that she is mentally inventorying her fridge.
"Rock star parking." Spencer says as she parks the car in the front row. We walk into the brew to find Hanna sitting at a table near the back. She smiles and waves us over. As we sit down I am scanning around to see if Emily was there. I stop on the sight of that big clear plastic bubble hanging from the ceiling with the ol' fashion microphone inside. "Does that thing still work?" I ask without realizing it was out loud.
"Of course it does. I helped build it so it will last forever. Why?" Spencer answers with her confidant yet humorous tone.
"Oh just wondering I don't remember it getting used much is all." I say as nonchalantly as I can muster.
"Hi guys. Here ya go, I hope I got it right, it's been a while since I've done this." Emily says as she smiles and sets drinks in front of each of us. Allowing me a great view down her shirt, distracting me for a split second.
"Wait…wha...why…when did this happen?" I ask. "You don't work here anymore."
(This is great for my plan, now I don't have to figure out how to get her here with out me around.)
"Having flashbacks… or did you just miss it too much?" Spencer jokes.
"Noooo." shooting Spencer a displeased look. "I'm just covering for Sabrina, she flaked and Ezra all but begged me. Plus I could use a few extra bucks." Emily says as the smile returns on her face.
(That smile… that devastatingly beautiful smile has been causing some conflicting thoughts in my head these past few weeks. As she goes back to work I can't help but notice her ass. How the apron strings hold her top out of the way so there is no obstruction of the glorious view unlike her damn bra that denied my wondering eyes just a few seconds ago, how her jeans are tight enough to show every curve, yet lose enough to allow it to sway to and fro and bounce ever so slightly.)
"Are you checken' out her ass!?" Hanna blurts out in her usual manor. "Spencer… tell me I didn't imagine that…you saw it too right?"
"Yea…Aria what the hell?" Spencer asks with that famous sly inquisitive tone. (I'm starting to dislike that smirk.)
"Huh…what? NO! I was just thinking about what kind of junk food we should get for tonight," I say. Snapping out of my wonderful daydream. (Hopefully fast enough to stifle the barrage of questions I expect are about to be coming at me.)
"Yea right junk food my ass! You were totally checken' out Emily's ass, stop trying to pretend you weren't. I can't blame ya though she does have a nice ass." Hanna says with a big cheesy grin on her face.
"Here you might need this. I think you are drooling." Spencer jokes as she hands me a napkin. (Yep that smirk is really getting on my nerves.)
"You guys stop! I wasn't check-…okay maybe I was, but you can't tell her. I don't know why…I just…oh what the hell! I think I have feelings for her and I'm not sure if she feels the same so PLEEEEEEEES don't say anything to her about it." (A big relief comes over me as I confess to my best friends…well not all of them… but at least someone knows and I am not alone in my quandary.)
" I think I'll walk to your house Spence. You two go ahead. I'll be there soon there is just something I need to do." After a little razing and smoochie faces from Hanna, her and Spencer leave to go to the store.
I go to the bathroom to take care of things…mainly my wet panties. Who knew that a peek down a shirt and being hypnotized by a very nice ass could, make me this horny? After I wash up I check my purse to see if I have anything to write on. I find a partial pack of sticky notes and write 'out of order' as big as the small square will allow. Before I walk out I check myself in the mirror to confirm that I don't appear to have just had a quickie with myself in the stall, nope all good. As I exit the bathroom I check to see if Emily is around, cool she's not. I place the sticky note on the listening desk of this contraption I am about to use. As I duck into the large plastic bubble/dome thing I adjust the mic so I don't have to stand on my tiptoes. I pull out my phone, scroll through my play list as I try to calm the butterflies in my gut with a deep breath and hit play.
"I sure hope this works." I whisper to myself as I am walking to Spencer's house I text Emily.
Aria: Hey there hot stuff…;) Before you leave work please check that recording contraption…I left ya a little something.
Emily: :0 okay? Should I be worried?
Aria: Nothing to be worried about. I just though it was time to have something good associated with it. ;) See you soon. xx. P.S. ignore the 'out of order' sign I put it there.
I arrive at Spencer's house and help Spencer put away the last of the food. Hanna was busy doing something in the living room. I stop Spencer from making coffee. "Please wait for the expert to make that, yours is just…well no offense but it's nasty. Also I brought some booze so we shouldn't need coffee tonight."
"Mine is not nasty anymore. I learned from all the snarky comments about how I make coffee so I asked Emily to teach me. You are correct though, we probably won't want coffee and it does get nasty if it sits around for a long time." Spencer says with just a hint of a defensive tone.
"So Aria how long have you had the hots for Emily?" Hanna inquires as she sits at the island with Spencer and I. I love her bluntness sometimes.
"Well…about two weeks give or take. When Sara's rejection tried to crush her, (I wasn't about to let it happen again. Emily had had enough heartbreak in her life these past few years. We all have.) She text me and asked me to come over. We had a big heart to heart talk. After a lot of tears and hugs, ya know all that mushy stuff that we are so good at. Then just when we were starting to crack each other up…we had… aaaa… we had a moment…" I trail off to that moment but am snapped out it by Spencer's hand waving in my face.
"Earth to Aria…what kind of moment?" Spencer asks wiggling her eyebrows at me. (That smirk just annoying me a little now.)
"A… we kissed… not a just friends kiss but a hot make your heart skip two beats kiss… kind of moment. [I glance up to see shock and intrigue on both faces looking at me.] At first I thought that she was just getting the last of her lust for Sara out of her system, but when we looked into each others eyes after the kiss there was something different in hers…sure there was some lust but there was more… I couldn't tell for sure because I was more than a little dazed from the kiss." (I could feel that my face was hot and must be red from embarrassment.)
"Oh my god Aria that is awesome! You two would totally make a great couple." Hanna practically knocks me off the bar stool as she rushed over to hug me.
"Slow down Hanna…we are not a couple yet. Emily hasn't talked about it, at least not to me…[I pause and look at both Hanna and Spencer hoping Emily might have talked to them but got nothing.] She is acting like it never happened and I just…am giving her some space. However much it is killing me to know…I can't bring myself to talk to her about it. Hell I wasn't even sure until Wednesday."
"What happened?" Hanna asked with excitement.
"I'm with Hanna I'm dying to know." Spencer says as she leans forward with that look on her face that I can't decide if it makes me want to laugh or slap her mind out of the gutter.
"Well we were in class and I got a text from her." I show them my phone.
Emily: Hey cutie. ;) You have any clue what the teacher is talking about?
Aria: Not so much. Been a little distracted by a certain hottie stuck in my thoughts...;)
Emily: :O Do I know her?
Aria: ;) I think so... Wait how did you know it was a she?
Emily: I didn't for sure, but now I do. ;)- If you don't want to say who it is I understand but could you describe her? ;)
Aria: Let's see…she has long brown hair, a devastatingly beautiful smile, and the rest would just make you blush is if described it…;)-
"We almost got busted by the teacher so we couldn't finish or at least she didn't respond, but look she called me cutie and the sticking the tongue out face. I am sure she was flirting with me 'cause 1: she doesn't text in class unless it's and emergency. And 2: she is usually just direct to the point in her texts. Oh yea after class she gave me a big hug and a sly sexy smile that I hadn't seen on her before. (It was soooo hot.) Then she said she had to go help her mom with something, pouted out bottom her lip and left. I was dumbfounded."
"You sure do describe her in detail, very accurate detail I might add. You got it bad Montgomery." Spencer says with a smirk holding back laughter as she puts her hand atop mine on the counter.
"Yea Aria god… I want to date her after that description." Hanna adds with a laugh.
"Back off Marin. She's mine." I very jokingly say as I start to giggle. That turns into full on make eyes water, and your abs ache laughter.
(It's amazing how fast we got back to normal after all the shit with –A. I am so happy to have that over. I love seeing my friends happy.)
Emily's POV*
I finish stocking the go cups under the counter and go to hang up my apron in the back. Ezra thanks me for helping out and hands me some cash. I thank him, hang up the apron, grab my bag, and head over to Spencer's. Then it dawns on me that I've been requested to listen to that darn recording thing. I sit at the desk with my elbows where they are intended to be and turn it on with my knee. It is not the best quality sound but it is Aria's voice and some music. I don't recognize the song but I listen to the words carefully and can't stop myself from smiling. (A/N the song = 'Take My Heart by Soko.') My heart melts. "She is such and adorable dork." I whisper to myself as I rush out the door.
I make a quick stop at the liquor store, (thank you Caleb for the great fake I.D.) to grab some Apple Pucker. Not my favorite but I know Aria likes it. I want to do something nice for her yet not be too obvious. She is the best friend anyone could ask for and I am very lucky to have her as a best friend. Ever since we kissed a couple weeks ago I think about her often in not so friend like ways. I have started to notice things about her that I hadn't noticed before…Well maybe I noticed and just didn't pay proper attention. I haven't been able to find the courage to talk to her about it but after that little song…tonight with a little liquid courage I know can.
I hear something that is more music to my ears as I'm entering Spencer's house. (My friends inside laughing loudly. It's been far too long since I've heard that.)
"Hello happy people what did I miss?" I ask as I walk into Spencer's kitchen to find my three best friends laughing hysterically. I can't help but smile and laugh, their laughter is that infectious.
"Oh…nothing just something that happened at school." Aria says choking back her laughter and smiles big at me. "Hi there 'bout damn time you got here. How are we supposed to have a party with out you?" She asks rhetorically still bursting with happy stretching out her arms inviting me for a hug. I gladly accept and as we hug I notice Hanna and Spencer looking at us intently. I feel my cheeks warm in a blush, so I break the embrace and hold up the bottle of bight green liquid. "I brought goodies." I say as I quickly make my way over to the cabinet to look for shot glass.
"Apple Pucker! Yum. I bought something too." Aria says as she jumps up and runs to her bag bumping into me in the process. "Sorry." comes out of her automatically as she rushes for the bag. She is instantly forgiven when I see the bottle of Pendleton whiskey she pulled out of her bag.
"Awesome! Now we can party." I didn't see any shot glasses so I set the rocks glasses I found on the island counter, pour them half full and hand them out. I hold my glass up and toast "Here is too best friends." We clink and drink. (I love the scrunched up sour face Aria gets as she shivers off the shot.)
"Yuck. That is a little too strong for me Em next time I can I have some of that green stuff?" Hanna asks as politely as she could.
"Back off Marin. Sh-…it's mine." Aria says covering her mouth like she just sad something bad but I think she was trying to hold back laughter.
"This is way too sour for me I want the whiskey for the next one please Em." Spencer said giggling interrupting my thought of what Aria just said. Hanna was laughing and snorting which made us all burst out in laughter. I manage to pour four more shots without spilling and calm the laughter before the next toast I inquire. "Not that I'm complaining but what is so damn funny?" All I get back is three shy smirks.
"Here is to a kick ass summer of fun before we go off to do whatever the fuck it is we're gonna do!" Hanna states matter-of-factly.
Clink and drink. (Damn that scrunched up face is just so fucking adorable.)
"Ewew that is some sour shit. How do you stand it Aria?" Hanna says. I didn't see her face. I was too busy enjoying other views.
"How do you stand that strong whiskey Emily?" Spencer asks with a cough.
"I like it. Stop yer bitchn' Hanna. Oh by the way thank you for remembering what I like Emily." Aria says with a big smile.
"Right back atya cutie." (Oh shit did I just say that aloud?) I force a smile on my face and look down at the glasses trying not to panic as I pour them half full again. This time after I pour I take a green one and dump it into a whiskey, cringing as I do so (what a waste of good whiskey), I then pour half the mixture into the empty glass handing the mixed ones to Spencer and Hanna. "Try that ya amateurs." I quip.
"Here is too not caring about anything serious for the next two days at least." Spencer says. Clink and drink.
(This time I am treated to a smile on Aria's face. That is a different smile though. Oh shit she heard…)
"That was good Emily." Spencer and Hanna say in unison, saving me from panicking over calling Aria cutie out loud.
"Thank you. I guess bartending could be in my future." I say trying not to show my anxiety.
"You two should try it, it is really good. More for me please." Hanna says with a mischievous grin. (Did I detect a little too much emphasis on the 'you two' part of that sentence?) I look at Aria to see if she wants to try the mix, she shrugs her shoulders and grins. (That is a new one too. It's a combination of mischievous and sexy. I like it, but it is making me nervous. Get a grip Fields you've only had three shots and you are starting to fall apart. What am I saying? That song was so sweet and the look on her face is new but I like it, I can't resist her any longer. If she wants to flirt then I'll play along.)
I managed to pour four more just like the last during my little discussion with myself. I look to Aria for the last toast. We all were.
"What are you staring at me for?" Aria asked clearly lost in thought. (Another new to me sexy smirk on her face.)
"It's your turn to toast silly." Spencer says.
"Oh shit…sorry I wasn't paying attention…. Here is to new combinations in life." Aria says with a look on her face I've only seen once before.
Clink and drink, and before I knew what was happening I had a hand on my neck and some very soft lips on mine. I quickly return the kiss, I feel a wave of heat pass through my body and settle in my loins and pull Aria into me by her waist both to up the passion and to support myself, as my knees were no longer feeling like they could support me. I open my mouth to slip my tongue across Aria's lips but I find her tongue instead. This causes me to moan into the kiss as our tongues play together I feel a slight vibration and warm air on my cheek from Aria's moan.
"Is it just me or do you suddenly feel a little like a voyeur?" I faintly hear Spencer say, as I am thoroughly enjoying kissing Aria. I feel her hands roam down my back and stop just short of my butt. I lower my arms and get my hands full of Aria's cute little butt pulling her even closer. Receiving another moan of approval.
"Shut up Spencer. This is fricken hot." I hear Hanna say as Aria's tongue reluctantly slips out of my mouth.
"If you two don't mind we are having a private moment here. So either shut the hell up and enjoy the show or go elsewhere." Aria quips. Then she just resumes the kiss like it was no big deal. I had no problem with this save for the interruption. After who knows how long, we break the kiss and gaze into each other's eyes. (I have never been so happy to have on dark jeans in my life 'cause I know there is a wet spot in my crotch.)
"I guess we don't need to talk about the little kiss before. That kiss, and your sweet little song, pretty much said it all." I say as I watch Aria's beautiful hazel eyes expand in delight.
"Yup. Wow! Emily that was…indescrib-…stupend-… Fantabulous!" Aria says in shaky voice before that mischievous sexy smirk appears rather suddenly on her face and in a sultry voice that I hadn't heard before says "More please?" I don't lean in right away; I'm just lost in those big dreamy eyes. (I would have never believed that pouting could be sexy but Aria some how manages to pull it off rather brilliantly.) I had to kiss her.
"Hanna, here I think you need this you're drooling." Spencer says in a giggle as she tosses her the hand towel that was hanging on the fridge. Then she opened the freezer and stuck her head in.
"I'm gonna need more than a towel. Spence can you toss me a bag of anything frozen, preferably something soft? I think I may have to go to the bathroom and 'rub one out' after that. You two are better than porn." Hanna chirps in her unique bubbly fashion. This causes all of us to burst into hysterical laughter.
"Maybe we should go in the other room?" I say with one raised eyebrow in as sultry of a voice as I could find as my laughter subsided.
"Maybe we should go upstairs?" Aria replies in a sexy whisper.
"Maybe you should help me with the food." Spencer interrupts.
I try to turn to go help but am trapped by some surprisingly strong little arms that squeeze me just hard enough. "You're not getting away that easy sexy." Aria says as she kisses me again. Not as passionate as the last three but more of a reassuring loving kind of kiss that lets one know that the other is there.
