When The Tides Change, Chapter 1

It was a beautiful morning for a run through the woods and Emily was loving the different colored leaves that surrounded the dirt path. Emily glanced over her shoulder to see Paige falling in step just behind her. She loved days like this. The sun was shining through the trees and there was a delicate chill in the air. All signs that Fall was quickly approaching, and Emily was definitely looking forward to the change in season. Emily was pulled from her thoughts when she felt a hand touch her shoulder. "We're here." Paige said, slowing her pace and trying to catch her breath. Emily slowed to a stop and turned to look at her. She was smiling as she nodded her head in the direction of a small clearing just off the path. Emily followed her eyes and a saw a blanket lay out with a picnic basket in the middle. Off to the side, was another blanket neatly folder. Emily turned to her girlfriend with a bright smile. "I thought you might be hungry after the run, so…" Paige said with a soft smile and looking shyly into Emily's eyes.

Emily stood still for a moment, looking adoringly at her girlfriend. How did I get so lucky? Emily thought to herself. Paige always seemed to know what Emily wanted and needed. She was always there and always knew the right words to say to make Emily feel like she could make it through anything. Paige was her rock and she loved her for it. Emily walked toward Paige with a smile so bright that it touched her eyes and made them sparkle. Paige's smiled widened at the obvious happiness that shined in the beautiful brown eyes of the girl she loved with her whole heart. Emily stopped right in front of her, making sure to only leave a couple of inches between her and her girlfriend. With her smile still in place, Emily leaned in and placed a soft lingering kiss on her lips. She could feel Paige's eagerness to deepen the kiss but she pulled away still leaving only a couple of inches of space between their lips. "Thank you" she whispered before leaning in and kissing her girlfriend again. This time she let Paige have her way, and slid her tongue teasingly into her mouth. Paige smiled into the kiss causing Emily to smile as well. They pulled apart and Emily gently grabbed her hand and led her over to the clearing. As she walked with Paige's hand tight in her own, Emily couldn't help but notice the rays of sunlight that peeked the trees just beyond the clearing. She felt so at peace for the first time in months. I love days like this Emily thought happily to herself.

Meanwhile…

"Caleb! Are you freaking crazy?! You can't be in here!" Hanna whispered excitedly.

"Relax Han. No one saw me" he smiled at the obviously flustered girl.

Hanna put her hand to her forehead, before grabbing her boyfriend's hand and dragging him into the bathroom stall. "I think this is illegal. It's a woman's bathroom for God's sakes!" She whispered still excitedly but now a little worriedly as well.

Caleb looked at his worried girlfriend. He placed a serious look on his face and said "Hanna, you need to calm down and try to live a little." Hanna was not convinced by the fake seriousness she heard coming from her boyfriend's mouth, especially since he failed to hide the amusement flashing in his eyes.

"You think this is funny?" Hanna asked, placing her hand on her hip and looking up at him with total attitude.

Caleb laughed and pulled her closer to him by her waist. She protested slightly but quickly gave up and let her body rest against his. "Look, I woke up early this morning to have breakfast with my girlfriend so the least she can do is give me three minutes. Then I'll leave and go order the food" he said with a devilish grin.

"No, you need to go now before someone comes in here and…" she was quickly cut off by the sudden pressure on Caleb's lips on hers. Hanna felt herself relaxing in his arms and felt Caleb smiling into the kiss. Hanna pulled back only slightly and said "you now have two minutes" with a smile that matched his. They both laughed gently and Hanna put her arms around his neck while kissing his lips again.

BANG! The bathroom door went flying open and slamming into the wall. Hanna and Caleb looked at each other with spooked expressions and started frantically looking around the stall. Hanna thought she was having a panic attack and held her chest. Caleb quietly hopped up on the toilet seat crouching down so you could not see his head above the stall door and walls.

"This is bullshit! Wait, hold on!" Jenna fumed.

Caleb pulled Hanna up on the toilet seat with him just before Jenna bent down to look under the stalls to be sure she was alone. Hanna looked at Caleb with a still shocked expression and covered her mouth. She pulled her hand away long enough to mouth Jenna and quickly put it back over her mouth. Caleb put his finger to his lips, signaling her to stay quiet.

When Jenna didn't see any feet in the stalls, she angrily went back to her phone conversation. "What the hell do you mean? It's only been one damn day." Jenna lowered her voice after the initial outburst. "Augh, why the hell couldn't that moron, Nate, just disappear after he served his purpose" she seethed out as more of a statement than a question. "I don't give a damn what his name was. He was an idiot!" Jenna tried to control her shout by slamming her hand on the bathroom sink. "There's no telling what he left behind that will link him to us." Jenna put her hand to her head for a moment. She then dropped her it again, straightened herself up and tried to breathe, calmly. "Fine, when and where?" she asked a little calmer now. "I'm not at home; I'm at the Grille so I need a little time" she said. "What? One hour? Come on; I need just a little more time than that. Give me two hours? It's 8:00 now so by 10:00?" Jenna's voice had gone from angry to pleading. "Thanks. We'll be there. Bye" Jenna said, ending the call and placing the phone in her purse. She placed both hands on the sink and leaned against it with her head down. "Fuck, fuck, fuck" she muttered through clenched teeth, shaking her head from side to side. She slowly lifted her head and a tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away, straightened her outfit and combed her fingers through her hair. Jenna took one last look at herself in the mirror, turned on her heels and walked out of the bathroom.

Caleb slowly got down bringing Hanna with him. "What the hell did Jenna mean by Nate serving his purpose and being linked to her?!" Hanna asked with wide eyes while Caleb peeked outside the stall door to make sure no one else had come in.

"I have no idea, but who do you think she was talking to?" Caleb asked back.

Hanna's eyes widened. "You don't think it was A? Do you?" she asked a bit scared. Caleb turned and gave her a look that answered her question. Without a word, Hanna pulled out her phone and started texting: S.O.S. MY HOUSE, NOW! She quickly hit send. "Caleb, you have to follow her. I'll meet the girls at my house; then meet up with you before 10:00" Hanna said hurriedly.

Caleb looked at her questioningly. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.

"Caleb, she might be meeting A. We have to. Plus, she said something about being linked to Nate. What if she helped him? What if the person she was talking to did? What if it's the same person that's been harassing us? " Hanna rambled on.

"Okay, let's do it" he said with a sigh.

"Just be careful and stay out of sight. We don't know who we're dealing with yet" she cautioned him.

"I'll be fine. Trust me" he assured her with a warm smile and a gentle kiss on the lips before cautiously leaving the bathroom.

Caleb spotted Jenna at the counter paying for food. She had a too-go-bag and a cup holder with two coffees in her hand. He stayed hidden around the corner until she exited the café. He quickly followed but stayed inside until he saw her climb into her blue mustang. When she pulled away from the curb, he ran to his car, hopped in, and started his pursuit. He made sure to stay several car lengths behind her. After driving for about 3 miles, she pulled into the parking lot of a motel that was located on the edge of Rosewood. He drove pass the motel instead of turning into the lot so he wouldn't raise her suspicion. He pulled over just up the road; far enough so she wouldn't see him but close enough to still see her car. He quickly pulled out his phone texted Hanna: At a motel. I think she's meeting someone. She has food for two. He hit send, leaned back in his seat and waited.

Jenna got out of the car and hesitated for a moment before closing the car door. I can't do this. This is not fair. Fuck, none of this is right. Jenna shook herself out of her thoughts and made her way into the motel lobby, and to the elevators. She didn't want to think anymore right now. She just needed to get to the room and do this. When she got to her floor, she quickly made her way to the room, remembering that she didn't have much time. Once inside, she put the food on the small table by the door and headed straight for the bedroom. She opened the door slowly and her whole mood lifted at what she saw. She walked up to the bed quietly and gazed down at the beautiful sleeping girl. The girl's skin looked like smooth milk chocolate against the crisp white sheets. Her soft curls haloed around her head, and flowed down her back and shoulders with a few strands falling over her brow. The dark beauty had such a peaceful look that Jenna couldn't help but smile. Jenna slowly and quietly took off her jacket and purse, and lowered herself onto the bed, resting her head on the pillow right next to the sleeping girl. A soft smile touched her lips as she lifted her hand to the girl's face, gently brushing the wayward strands of hair away from the girl's brow. Jenna watched as she stirred and her eyes fluttered open. The dark beauty turned to her and smiled softly before leaning forward and placing a delicate kiss on her lips. When she pulled back, her eyes were questioning as a frown formed on her face.

Jenna noticed it right away. "What's wrong, Maya?" she asked softly, slightly concerned by the girl's sudden change in demeanor.

Maya frowned again while looking Jenna up and down. "Why are you dressed?" she asked with disappointment in her voice. Jenna laughed and slipped her hand behind Maya's neck, pulling her in for a passionate kiss. Maya pulled back first, studying her girlfriend. "I'm waiting" she said looking at Jenna through her lashes as a devilish smirk formed on her lips. Jenna couldn't resist her when she looked at her like that, and Maya knew it.

"I went…" *Kiss* "...to get…" *Kiss* "…Maya…" *Kiss* "…some food." *Kiss* *Kiss* Jenna pulled herself away and jumped out of bed. "Come eat and, don't bother getting dressed" she called over her shoulder to a now really aroused Maya. Maya was on her feet with her arms around Jenna's waist from behind before she even reached the door.

Maya pulled Jenna close to her and had to tiptoe to whisper in her ear. "I will eat later. Right now, I need something else" she purred, letting her lips lingering just below Jenna's ear. Jenna felt a shudder run through her entire body as Maya's warm breath tickled her neck. Maya's hands slipped under the front of Jenna's shirt, her fingertips making delicate drawing patterns on her belly. She pressed her lips against Jenna's neck and smiled as a small moan escaped Jenna's lips.

Jenna knew she was defeated. Maya was going to get whatever she wanted; there was no use in resisting. "What does my Maya need, right now?" Jenna managed to breathe out as her breathing was becoming irregular.

Maya smiled devilishly. She loved when Jenna referred to her in the third person. That usually meant that she could have anything she wanted. "Your Maya needs her Jenna to get naked and make love to her…right now" Maya let her voice drop low and deep at the last part.

Jenna couldn't take it anymore and with one swift movement, turned herself in Maya's arms so that they were face to face. She kissed Maya hard which caused Maya to stumble back a bit, pulling Jenna with her. Both she and Maya ripped at her clothes as they stumbled towards the bed. When her clothes were off, her hands tangled themselves in Maya's soft hair. Maya grabbed onto to Jenna's waist and spun her around before they fell on the bed so that Maya landed on top; never breaking the kiss.

Jenna knew that she should tell Maya what needed to happen in the next hour and a half but she couldn't do it. The beautiful girl hovering above was glowing in the moment. Jenna couldn't tell her; not in this moment.
