If A Never Existed: Moving In...Help From A Friend?
Disclaimer: I own Nothing.
AN: Ok so after a few reviews it's obvious that you all would like for me to continue this, yay me! Or more acturately, yay you! So a few things you should know, I'm going to follow the story line as closely as possible according to season one, however I'm not sure on what to do with Alison's character yet, but I'll let you know. Rating will be T but if I do decide on taking it up a little for all the pervs out there (me included) then I'll tell you in the AN of the chapter. Any questions ask me and enjoy!
"Would it be outrageous if I asked you to help with my last two boxes?" The question appeared candidly from the new girl's lips, a hopeful expression taking over her face.
"Yes," Emily answered immediately, then changed her mind and smiled, "But I don't mind." Another smile, her heart beating just a tad faster as Maya laughed at what she assumed to be Emily's joking nature.
How was Maya supposed to know that Emily had a momentary absence in judgment, where she found herself looking at Maya's lips instead of listening to her words? It didn't matter either way because now Emily was helping her…just to be friendly and, neighborly of course.
"You said 'were', are you not friends with the girl that use to live here anymore?" Maya asked as she sat down the box on her bed, looking at Emily expectantly.
Emily gave an amused half smile, "You ask a lot of question of someone who just helped you move your stuff." Insert a perfectly raised eyebrow and Emily was now flirting. Why was she flirting?
Maya laughed once more, "Ok, first off you moved one box and I'm very grateful. Secondly…how else any I supposed to get to know my oh-so-kind neighbor girl?" and now Maya's smirking…she's flirting too. "You can ask me anything, I'm an open book."
Emily looked away from that very appealing look in the other girl's eyes, it made her feel an unfamiliar stir in her stomach; unfamiliar but not horrible she noted. "Is this your boyfriend?" she gestured to the lone picture on Maya's dresser.
Maya's eyes turned more amused as she took in the picture, "Justin? No…well, he was but turns out we had way too much in common." She looked away laughing, peeking Emily's interest.
"Isn't that a good thing though? I mean Ben, my boyfriend, and I are both swimmers…it works." It was a lame excuse, but frankly it was the only one Emily had. Then again why was she feeling as if she had to defend her…relationship…to this stranger?
Maya shrugged, and looked or more accurately leered at Emily's body, smirking as the other girl shifted under her less than innocent gaze, "I bet you're good…you totally have the body." Then she turned back away going through her boxes.
Emily's eyes widened in shock, 'Did she just hit on me? No of course she didn't, girls complement each other all the time it doesn't mean that they're…gay.' Emily turned away too, looking out the window. "They're building a studio, my parents; my mom plays the cello and needs a place to practice." Maya said coming behind her.
"Do you play?" Emily asked innocently.
Maya's eyes sparkled with something akin to a playful secret, "Yes…but not the cello." And there it was the challenge. Emily ignored it. Opting instead to just give a smile and small chuckle, Maya of course reciprocated it with more genuine amusement than Emily.
"So being that you're a total jock, would you kill me if I smoked a little weed?" This time the new girl expressed a more coy looking expression.
"Now?" Emily's eyes widened once again. 'This girl is just full of surprises.'
"Well, I won't if you don't want me to." Maya shrugged like it was no big deal, because to her it wasn't, she just hoped Emily felt the same.
Emily paused to gather her thoughts, a nervous breath, "Where are your parents?"
And Maya knew she'd folded and walked over to her dresser, "Relax. They're out." She pulled a small box from under her bed before settling into the soft comforter, looking at Emily expectantly; "Wanna join me?" false innocence laced the question.
The words hit Emily hard, it was unexpected but she was finding quickly that she should just expect the unexpected when it came to this girl. She hesitated, again, "Okay." She placed herself at a safe distance away from Maya; Maya noted with a smirk.
"First time?" of course she already assumed the answer was yes, she just wanted confirmation.
"No…" Emily laughed nervously, Maya waited, "Yes." She gave a shy smile that Maya found absolutely adorable.
"So I'm like corrupting you…do you mind?" it wasn't coy, more challenging as Maya scooted that much closer.
Emily's skin vibrated at the almost touching distance between hers and Maya's skin. "Yea…I think I am." Emily smiled from under her eyelashes, almost dazzling the new girl.
Maya smiled back, more confidently than Emily, and pulled a pre-rolled joint from the box, holding it up for Emily to see, "You sure? I really won't care if you don't want to." Genuine concern laced hers words.
Unknowingly, Maya had calmed Emily's nerves and replaced the nervous energy with a little confidence at knowing this was now her choice, "I'm sure." She nodded.
Maya grinned and lit the joint, "We'll start off small and if you like it, then we'll try something else next time." She inhaled, the cherry burning bright red, "You wanna inhale into your lungs and hold the smoke there for as long as possible and don't worry if you start choking, happens to most of us the first time."
Emily listened closely as Maya handed her the bud, she wrapped her lips around the end and inhaled, a little too deeply. She started choking almost immediately, handing the joint back. Maya tried not to laugh, "Ok here drink this." She handed the choking girl a Life Water that appeared out of nowhere.
Emily took it gratefully, glaring at Maya once the coughing stopped, "Hey, don't blame me, you inhaled too much." Maya defended with a laugh.
Emily pushed her friend's leg playfully, "Yea well you could have warned me not too!"
Maya smirked, shuffling just an inch closer, "Ok I'm sorry, redo?" she held the joint up to her.
Rolling her eyes, Emily took it. Inhaling it slowly this time, noticing the nice burning sensation it caused as the smooth smoke drifted from her throat to settle into her lungs. She held her breath then let out a little stream of left over smoke. "So…?" Maya prodded, smirk still firmly in place.
Emily gave a little smirk of her own, "Corruption doesn't taste so bad." Emily shrugged handing off the joint; looking completely badass without trying.
Maya decided quickly that it was a good look for the girl, "Corruption looks good on you…" she refrained from telling Emily that anything would look good on her and took a toke of her own, before letting Emily take a final pass and snubbing it out.
Minutes pass as Emily was enjoying the feeling of her first high, giggling slightly letting Maya know that the girl was a bit of a light weight. "I take it you're enjoying yourself Emily?" Maya smirked.
Emily giggled just the tiniest bit, "Hmm it's not so bad." she giggled again. Though she wanted to say more but had enough control over herself to know not to. She checked her phone and groaned.
"Is it past midnight, Cinderella?" Maya asked bumping they're already touching shoulders. Emily finally realizing just how close they were and making her wonder if that was the reason the entire right side of her body had been tingling for the past 20minutes.
"Unfortunately, my mom's expecting me back soon…I have homework." Emily groaned again as Maya moved away, grabbing something of her bedside table.
"Sit up." Maya commanded gently. Emily complied. "Open your eyes wide." Emily frowned, Maya laughed, "Visine, you're eyes aren't totally red but just in case." Maya explained and administered the drops to a thankful Emily.
Then she gave Emily some ice breakers, "For your breath." And sprayed her clothes with Febreze, "You'll smell different but just tell your mom that you were helping me dust or something and you'll be good to go." Maya smiled as Emily laughed, popping the mints.
"You do this way too often, don't you?" Emily questioned playfully, telling herself that she could blame the weed for her flirting.
Maya smirked, "Let's just say practice makes perfect." She held out her hand, "Phone?" Emily automatically giving it to her, trusting the girl for whatever reason, "Here's my number…we'll be definitely hanging out again sometime."
Emily smirked back just a little, "Definitely." They laugh, a mixture of a weed induced high and genuine amusement as Maya leads Emily down the stairs, recognizing that though the girl is a light weight, she disguises it well.
"Bye Emily." Maya hugs her, sighing as they let go.
"Bye Maya."
When Emily gets home she finds a note from her mother telling her that she had some errands to run but she'll be back in time to start dinner and she expects Emily's homework to be done by the time she gets back.
Emily sighs and grabs water from the fridge along with some Oreo cookies from the cabinet and makes her way up to her room. Luckily, she only has a three page chapter analysis on the Civil War section in her history book; a report she did last night, and some review questions for said chapter. Something she could do half asleep let alone high; thank god.
In the middle of answering 'What did the Civil War accomplish?' her phone began ringing, she picked it up without checking the caller I.D. "Hello?"
"I'm not interrupting your studying time am I?" Maya asked, her voice conveying that she really didn't care if she was.
Emily smiled to herself and laughed, "You are, but I seriously doubt that you care St. Germain."
Maya made a shocking gasp sort of noise furthering Emily's giggles, "On the contrary Emily Fields, I care greatly about you studiousness?" she paused, "Is that even a word, studiousness? That doesn't sound like a word."
"It's a word" Emily confirmed amusedly. "So why are you interrupting my studiousness?" Emily cooed, still excusing her behavior as result of her high.
"Well, I was wondering if you had a car and if you did, could you possibly let me ride with you to school tomorrow? And if you don't well then we can walk together, my car won't get here till next week, I think." Maya explained.
Emily smiled, "No, I don't have a car, I usually ride my bike or have Ben take me, but I'll walk with you tomorrow. No problem."
"Sweet!" Maya cheered bringing another round of giggles from Emily, "Then I'll see you tomorrow, my house, say around…" she trailed off in question.
"Luckily I don't have swim practice so I'll meet you at yours around 7:30." Emily confirmed.
"Am?" came the helpless question with an added whine, "Ok, sounds good. See you tomorrow then. Bye Emily."
"Bye Maya." Emily waited for the dial tone before hanging up. A little flirting was harmless now, when she had an excuse she could use, but what about tomorrow? What if Maya flirted with her? I mean, Maya had already been flirting, even before they smoked, right?
Emily grumbled and tried to focus back on her homework, all the while brown eyes played on repeat in her mind. Tomorrow would prove to be interesting, "Ugh! I'm so screwed."
