So, as much first chapter was pretty well received, here's chapter two! Thank you to all of those who reviewed it means so much to me.
Chapter Two- For Tonight, You're Only Here To Know
"Emily?" Hanna whispered into the darkness of their bedroom, "Em, you okay?" there was no response, save the quiet sound of Emily's sniffling and rugged breathing, Hanna sighed and lay back down, pulling the sheets up around her body and rolling over to face the wall, pressing one ear firmly against her pillow and covering the other with the sheets, if Emily didn't want to talk to her about what was bothering her, she wasn't going to pressure her to, but she sure as hell didn't want to sit and listen to her cry. It broke Hanna's heart to hear her best friend cry and not be able to help; she loved Emily more than life itself, like the sister that she never got to have. And once Emily moved in with her, she'd worried that it might affect their friendship, living together as well as the excessive amount of time that they spent together normally, but it hadn't, at least, not in a bad way, if anything it had made them even stronger. In a way that was what bothered her; usually, she could read Emily like an open book. She could tell when the tan skinned girl was happy, awkward or insecure. When she was missing her parents, stressing over an exam or being tormented by A. She knew everything about the other girl from her personal best swimming record, to the location of her birthmark and the date that she got her period every month; but this? Whatever was bothering Emily this time was illegible to Hanna, and it scared her.
She was pulled form her thoughts by a slight draft as the sheets moved, followed by the press of Emily's cold feet against her own. She rolled over to find herself almost nose to nose with Emily, so close she could count the stray tear drops that still lingered on her eyelashes despite her furious attempts to wipe them away. Emily smiled weakly at her, her bottom lip trembling slightly as she did. Hanna didn't say a word, but reached out and pulled Emily into her body, resting her Head against her own chest and stroking her hair softly,
"It's okay to cry, Emmy," she whispered soothingly, "I got you, it's all going to be okay." she kissed Emily's temple softly as the dark haired girl sobbed quietly into her chest. They lay like that for what seemed like forever to Hanna until Emily's breathing evened out enough for her to regain composure; she looked up at Hanna and blushed slightly,
"I'm sorry," she murmured, looking away again and bowing her head. Hanna didn't try to make her look or talk but rolled her eyes before taking her hand and squeezing it.
"Please tell me that you didn't just apologize for crying?" she asked incredulously making Emily laugh a little, "Hey, are you tired?" she whispered, Emily shook her head slightly,
"No, but if you are then it's alright, I can just go back to my own bed it's fine," she said quickly, making to stand before Hanna caught her hand again.
"No, that's not what I was thinking." She smiled maliciously.
"Have I told you lately that you're my best friend?" Emily laughed, looking up at Hanna from her spot on the bed where she was cuddled up a mass of blankets with her, a giant bowl of cookie dough and a pot of chocolate ice cream between them,
"As a matter of fact, I don't think you tell me how amazing I am nearly enough." Hanna declared dramatically, causing Emily to laugh even more.
"Well, you are. My best friend, that is, and you're amazing too. And almost as modest as Spencer." she giggled with as much sarcasm as she could muster, Hanna grinned,
"So, how was your date with Spence?" Hanna smirked. Emily turned bright red,
"It wasn't a date Han, just two single friends hanging out on Valentine's day. What makes you think it was a date?" Hanna's eyes widened,
"Nothing, geez, sorry Em. I didn't realize it was such a sensitive topic." She said slowly, eyeing her best friend carefully, "So, what did you do?"
"So, tell me a secret Spencer." Emily giggled, taking another sip of wine and leaning back against the headboard of Spencer's bed, fingering a rose petal as she did, fascinated by it's soft touch,
"A secret?" Spencer asked, smirking a little at Emily's request, "I think you know all my secrets, honey." she lay her head down in Emily's lap and smiled up at her,
"Come on, there's got to be something that I don't know!" Emily pleaded playfully, Spencer rolled over slowly so that she could look Emily directly in the eye,
"Okay, I got something." She decided, a pensive and slightly anxious look dressing her striking features, Emily nodded at her to continue and Spencer looked away, playing tentatively with the ring on her best friends finger, spinning it round and round in time to the pace of her thoughts, "I've always wondered, what it would be like, to kiss a girl..." she whispered slowly, articulating her secret with a mysterious air, pausing for a second before raising her eyes to Emily, her big, brown orbs deep and reflective of her fear.
"Well, I could tell you..." Emily started, watching as Spencer fiddled with her ring, "Or, I could show you?" Spencer's eyebrows raised as she lifted her head off of Emily so as to see her more clearly,
"Do you mean that?" She asked quietly, feeling butterflies flutter through her body, Emily nodded slightly, inwardly shocked at how bold she was being, and wondering if it was the wine. She hadn't even had that much, maybe, she thought, just maybe, she would tell Spencer tonight.
"Mmmh," she murmured, "So long as you don't mind me being your first girl/girl kiss?" she asked, taking Spencer's hand,
"No," Spencer whispered, shaking her head, "I don't mind at all."
Emily nodded and the girls awkwardly sat up, facing each other. Spencer felt her palms start to sweat and she fidgeted slightly,
"It's okay, Spence, just relax." Emily whispered, Stroking Spencer's hair with her free hand, "Close your eyes." Spencer did as she was told and Emily took a deep breath to steady herself, she closed her own eyes as she tilted her head slightly to the left and softly pressed her lips to Spencer's. When she didn't pull away, Emily pressed them a little more firmly together, becoming braver and braver with each second; she felt Spencer's lips begin to move against her own and ran her hands up the shorter girls back, enjoying the sensation she felt when Spencer shivered at her touch. Spencer raised her own hands to Emily's head, tangling her fingers in her soft, shiny hair as she felt Emily bit her bottom lip gently. Spencer quivered at the gestured and responded by tracing her tongue across Emily's lips, shyly surrendering to her need to taste more of her best friend. Emily granted her access willingly, gently slipping her own tongue inside of Spencer's mouth, enjoying the taste of the wine that still lingered on her tongue. Emily lowered her hands to the small of Spencer's back, running her fingers teasingly across the thin strip of skin that was revealed by her low waisted jeans. She grazed her finger tips across as much of Spencer's skin as she could find, fighting the intense desire within her to take off the thinner girls' shirt. Spencer slowly untangled her hands from Emily's hair and brought them down to rest just above Emily's chest, she hesitated, breaking the kiss slightly and looking worriedly at Emily for consent. She nodded her head and Spencer cupped her breasts lightly, surprised herself at how natural everything felt with Emily. As they captured each others' lips once, neither girl was sure if she could make sense of what what happening, but neither of them wanted to let go.
"Hey, Em." Hanna snapped, jerking Emily from her thoughts, "Welcome back." she muttered sarcastically as she made eye contact with her best friend, "You just totally spaced out on me, I asked what you did with Spencer?" Emily fought back a blush and grinned,
"Oh, yeah, um, just got to know each other a little better, that's all. It's been a long time since it was just us."
