AN: Oh my God. I can't believe I'm continuing this but I did say I was going to for you guys. This is really hard since I have to do research on it and everything to make sure that it's somewhat believable. I'm not too sure I have their personalities right but for this story, just go with the flow of it please and be patient. Very patient for me to update this because this is a lot to do for this one. So, the next chapter probably won't be for awhile. Please excuse the errors and typos as always. I hope you enjoy it and have a good night!

Chapter 2 - Battle

"Shay, I'm tired. I just wanna take a cat nap real quick" Bianca opens the door to her dressing room and then walks in with Shay behind her.

"Right now?" Shay closes and locks the door before following Bianca to the couch. Bianca nods her head taking her flip flops off. They didn't have to get dress until later so she was just in acid wash skinny jeans with a back v-neck short sleeve shirt. She put her flip flops on the side before walking to the couch and laying down on it on her back. Shay bit her lip before sliding out of her heels and her jacket. She puts her jacket on the chair by the dresser before walking over to her.

"Yes right now. Go hangout with Ashley or Troian" Bianca puts an arm over her eyes with a smile playing on her lips.

"But I wanna hang out with my boo" Bianca snorts getting Shay to giggle. It wasn't Shay's fault that she liked hanging out with Bianca . The advice Bianca gives her about acting was inciting and it didn't help the fact that Bianca was nice to look at either or the fact that she just liked being around Bianca but she also knew Bianca felt the same. Maybe a little too much. "Don't you wanna hang out with me" Shay ran her eyes over Bianca's body, trying to figure out how to sit on the couch since Bianca had both legs bent but was still taking up the whole couch.

"Who wouldn't want to hang out with the sweetest little liar on PLL" Bianca turns her head while bringing her arm up to look at Shay with a grin. Shay smiles big while blushing a little getting Bianca to chuckle at her. "although I'm not too sure if that is true or not" Shay's mouth drops,

"I am so the sweetest little liar!" Bianca laughs at her as Shay jumps on her then straddles her. "Take it back" Bianca's laughters calms down when she places her hands being her head, "Out of all of the liars, who is the sweetest one out of the bunch" Bianca rolls her eyes with a smile, "Not Spencer" Bianca shakes her head, "Ali" a head shake again, "Hannah" another, "Aria" Bianca pauses,

"Maybe" Shay pouts, "Ok, maybe you have a little edge" She pinches her index and thumb together but holding up a little space between, "over her" Then shrugs before putting both hands on Shay's thighs. Shay was so happy she wore shorts today and that her legs were shaved, "but that's it"

"Sooo" Shay smiles getting Bianca to shake her head with chuckle,

"Ok, so far you are" Shay beams at Bianca,

"Exactly and also the sexiest" Shay says with a smirk and a wink. Bianca pursed her lips and tilted her head at Shay, "What?"

"You're not taking that poll serious, are you?" Shay shrugs a little, as Bianca throws her head back, "You are!" Shay laughs,

"It's an ego boost" Shay whines a little, still grinning. Bianca rolls her eyes as her hands slide up to her hips and her fingers sliding under the loose sleeveless shirt Shay has on. Don't think about it. Shay takes a slow breath, trying to ignore the heat she was feeling from Bianca's fingers on her skin. Act normal. No big deal.

"Like you need it" Bianca teases her. Shay smiles at her, keeping her gaze. This tends to happen between the two where they would just gaze at the other with smiles on their faces like they knew something that no one else did. It was just part of their relationship. Friendship. "Besides, I don't know. Ashley could take that from you" Bianca teases,

"You're supposed to be my girlfriend and you say that" Biana shrugs,

"You haven't cuffed me yet." Shay narrows her eyes at her getting Bianca to giggle. "What? Giving me the run around and everything" the two of them giggle before Shay glares at her. They love teasing each other about their characters since they yet filmed the part where Emily asks Maya on a date yet but will soon, "Awwww is my boo mad" Bianca playfully pouts at her,

"Take it back" Bianca moves a little and tilts her head, "And say I'm the sexiest woman" Bianca raises an eyebrow, "In the world" Shay adds while crossing her arms over her chest. Bianca nods slowly with her tongue in her cheek,

"Ok" Shay smiles a little, "no" Bianca smirks getting Shay to playfully glare at her,

"I'll make you say it" Bianca shakes her head,

"And how would you do that? Tickle me?" Bianca suggests and Shay shakes her head.

"I have other ways"

"Like keeping me from sleeping right now?" Shay giggles,

"Yep" Shay says then tickles Bianca making her laugh and squirm. "Say it"

"Ok hahah Ok" Shay stops, giggling at Bianca. "Whoo" Bianca lets out a breath. "Babygirl".

"Yes B" Shay smiles. Breathe Shay.

"You are one" Bianca pauses getting Shay to tilt her head up and then nod, letting her know she approves so far. "Of the sexiest women" Shay's heart beats faster at the way Bianca was looking at her and saying it. "in this room right now" Bianca grins at her getting Shay to pause a second before comprehending what she said. Bianca starts laughing again as Shay glares at her.

"Not funny, B" Bianca nods her head while still laughing. Shay glances away with a head tilt, "I'm gonna make you say it" Shay takes a minute then slowly side glances at Bianca. Bianca stops laughing at the look that Shay was giving her as Shay's tongue slowly peeks at the corner of her mouth before sliding along her bottom lip. Shay catches her bottom lip between her teeth then leans forward, places both hands beside Bianca's head on the arm rest before sliding down a little on Bianca's body. Bianca's eyebrows raise and lips part releasing a breath as Shay leans down so she was only inches away from Bianca's face. Bianca's eyes on Shay's mouth as she lets her bottom lip slip out,

"Shay" Bianca whispers before Shay closes the gap and lightly presses her lips against Bianca's, taking in the fullness of them before slightly parting her lips. Bianca does the same as her tongue slides out a little and touches Shay's who was getting ready to do the same before pulling her tongue back and closing on Shay's top lip, sucking and nibbling on it. Bianca licks her lower lip before Shay opens again to let Bianca's tongue slide in. She feels Bianca's fingers pressing a little into her but doesn't mind since Bianca was kissing her back but also slowly exploring her mouth. Shay's fingers grip the armrests tighter as little moan rumbles in her throat before Bianca pulls back.

"Say it" Shay whisper against her lips before nipping her bottom lip.

"You are the sexiest woman in the world" Shay grins,

"Told you I would make you say it" Bianca nods rolling her eyes,

"You hush" Bianca hands fall from Shay's hips and then Shay's smile falls just realizing what she did. Oh no! She kissed Bianca and it wasn't because she had but because she wanted to. She wanted to kiss Bianca and she liked. Scratch that. She loved it. Did she like it? Bianca notices the teasing gone from Shay's eyes and is replaced by fear. "Shay?" Bianca sits up so she's eye to eye with her. "Relax" Shay shakes her head,

"Oh my God" Shay whispers, "I can't believe I just did that" Everything is going to change. I'm straight not gay or bi!

"Shay, look at me" Bianca cups her face in her hands getting her to look at her, "Relax. We were just messing around, ok? It was all for fun. It meant nothing" Shay's heart tighten in her chest when she heard Bianca say 'it meant nothing'. What? Shay looks down with as she feels her eyes water a little, "Babygirl" her heart flipped as she brought her gaze back to Bianca,

"What if I wanted it to mean something" She whispers to her. Bianca's eyes widen for a second at what Shay said, her brain trying to process exactly what Shay was saying. They stay keeping eye contact with each but not saying anything as silence develops around them. Yep, I fucked up everything. Shay's heart is beating a thousand miles an hour, thinking that she just scared Bianca and made things awkward for them. "I me-" She cut off as Bianca places her lips against hers and holding them there, not deepening nor making it fast. A few seconds later, she slowly pulls back waiting for Shay's eyes to open before speaking.

"It means something" Bianca says while caressing her cheeks with her thumbs. Am I dreaming? "Are you sure about this though?" Shay takes a deep breath then exhales,

"Truthfully" Bianca nods her head, "No. I-I'm scared. This is the first for me" She licks her lips before continuing, "I really... really like you, B and that scares me because I've never felt like this towards anyone before let alone a woman. My parents they're ok with lesbians and gays as my friends but for me to be one. In real life." Shay shakes her head, "They're not" Bianca nods her head. She bites the inside of her lips while pursing her lips trying to figure out what to say. "But I really like you and I really want you, B." Shay whispers as if afraid that Bianca didn't understand how much she actually liked her. A lot! Shay glances down at Bianca's lips wanting to taste them again, "I don't know what to do" Shay looks back up at Bianca waiting for he to say something,

"Well, we could just act like this never happened" Bianca's hands fall from Shay's face getting Shay's heart to tighten again. Way to go Shay. "and go back to how we once were" Her face also drops with her eyes and she thinks how stupid she was to say anything in the first place, "But I don't want to do that" She lifts her eyes to see Bianca giving her a small smile with her head tilted. No way! "I'm not going to rush this but I'm willing to go along with keeping us a secret." Shay smiles a little, "I like to keep my love life out of the spotlight. I don't like to share it when I feel it's not really their business." Shay's arms come up to slide around Bianca's neck as her fingers played with the hair at the nape of her neck.

"Yea?" Bianca nods her head as her arms wrap around Shay's hips, "So, we keep it a secret until I'm ready?" Bianca nods again,

"Yea. I mean you're just breaking out in this business and if you come out and say you have a girlfriend. People could spin it wrong and say that you are only doing this for publicity and more jobs" Shay smiles,

"Girlfriend, huh" Bianca rolls her eyes,

"That's all you got out of that" Shay giggles, shaking her head a little. "Besides, I'm perfectly fine with you using me for your needs and vice versa" Shay gasp,

"B. I would never use you" Bianca smiles while nodding,

"I'm kidding." Shay smiles at her, "I know you wouldn't just like I wouldn't do that to you" Bianca pulls her closer by the hips as Shay leans into kiss the lips that she wants again. "okay baby?" Bianca whispers.

"Baby?" Ryan whispers against her lips, "I gotta go but I'll be back later tonight" Shay opens her eyes as she now notices whose lips she was now kissing since she was awake. "Okay?" She forces a smile. Not okay.

"Have a good day" She pecks his lips then sits up,

"Thanks." He stands grabbing his keys, "love ya babe"

"You too" Shay sighs and then falls back on the bed when she hears the door close. She reaches for her phone and sets the alarm on her condo before going to her saved texts.

I still love you. I always will. Goodnight beautiful.

- Your Maya

She smiles a little before her eyes water. It has been a couple of months since she last spoke to Bianca yet again. Her and Ryan were rocky, yet again. Technically, they weren't even together since she found out that he had cheated on her but she was lonely last night so she called him over. It's not her fault that she gets lonely from time to time. She moves to her photos to look at Bianca. God I'm pathetic. She snorts before locking her phone and looking up at the ceiling. It was only 11:30 and she had the PLL Halloween Special that she had to go in for. She closed her eyes trying to go back to sleep before her phone rings. She reaches for it, "Hello?"

"Buttah" Shay smirks, "Why do you sound like you're still in bed when you should be up since I'm only a few minutes away from you" Shay's eyes open as she quickly sits up, totally forgetting that she was supposed to be riding with Ashley today.

"Ummm" She throws the covers off her then gets out of bed,

"You were still in bed, weren't you" Yep.

"Not exactly" She walked to her closet to try and figure out what she wearing today. She picks a yellow strapless sundress and heels.

"Ugh, well can you turn off your alarm and unlock your door" Shay frowns before walking out of her closet and grabbing a baggy hoodie. She looks down at her and smiles a little, noticing that it was of Bianca's that she left over here a long time ago. She's not getting this back anytime soon. Since Bianca wouldn't come over anytime soon, Shay walked down the hallway towards her front door to unset her alarm.

"it's not like you're outside" Shay says before the doorbell ring, "Or you can be" She unlocks the door then opens it to see Ashley in a t-shirt, capris and converse. "Oh, you're dressing down" Ashley nods. no heels. Ashley narrows her eyes,

"So, you were still in bed?" Shay shrugs, "Buttah"

"Benzo, no." Ashley tilts her head, "Ok maybe. I'm tired" Shay whines. Ashley shakes her head while walking in before turning around quickly,

"Wait. Why are you tired?" Shay glances around the room to make sure nothing would give her away of happened last night. Ashley gasp, "You got some last night" Shay quickly shakes her head, "Yes you did." Ashley quickly went into the bedroom with Shay right behind, "Where is he?" She looks under the bed,

"Benzo" Shay is behind her, "he's not here" Ashley sits up pointing at her,

"Aha! So, you do admit he was here" Shay rolls her eyes but couldn't help the smile on her face. This is why she sees Ashley like a little sister to her. Do I plead the fifth? "I knew it and I'm gonna kill him when I see him again" Shay walks in her closet getting her dress and then deciding on sandals to go with it instead of heels. "No more calling him. He's not worth it" Shay nods,

"Okay." She sets her dress on her bed with her sandals before walking to her bathroom, "I'm gonna take a shower real quick" Ashley nods,

"Yea because it straight up smells like sex in here" Shay laughs at her, "I feel gross, I'll be in the living room watching Tv" She says while walking out and putting her hair up in a bun. Shay shakes her head before closing her bathroom door and sliding off her hoodie. She turns the water on and then gets in. She washes her body then steps out doing her hair before putting her clothes on.

"Ready?" Shay says grabbing her purse and putting on her sunglasses. Ashley pouts,

"I should've known you would dress up. Making us all look bad." Shay giggles and then shrugs,

"I'm the future fashionista" Ashley giggles a little before they walk out the door. Shay locks her house up and sets the alarm before getting in Ashley's audi. They drive off with Ashley listening to Rihanna's station on Pandora.

"How long do you think this will be?" Ashley shrugs her shoulder,

"I'm not too sure. Do you wanna hit up the club later tonight so that you don't call Ryan again for a booty call" Shay giggles,

"And pass up a good booty call?" Ashley glares at her getting Shay to giggle, "Kidding but no. I think I'm gonna have a quiet night. I told you that I'm tired." Shay said as she frowns a little hearing the melody come on in the beginning of song. She looks at the screen to see 112 on it before sliding off and then the title of the song, 'Love you like I do'. No fucking way!

'Tell me who's gonna look at you, And love you for the person you are'

"Oh my God. This is so old but so good. I love this song!" She says while turning up the volume. "You should dedicate this song to Ryan." Shay had to admit that was pretty good one but was also hit with the fact that this song could also be dedicated to her from Bianca. "Ha ha Ryan" She moves her head with the beat. Shay looks out the window and her mind goes to Bianca thinking of everything that the song was singing.

'How could you do it?

Baby, how could you (you did me wrong)

Treat me the way you did (you broke my heart)

And how could you leave me?

When you know i did (leave me by myself)

I did everything for you (girl, i did everything for you)

And you'll never find another man to love you the way that i did

Girl nobody... nobody...

Will love you just like me…'

Shay feels her eyes watering as she bites the inside of her cheeks remembering what Bianca said on the phone to her. 'You'll find a guy that will make you just as happy as I did'. Shay shakes her head. No I won't. Shay frowns as she hears Slim sing the last part and closes her eyes seeing Bianca in every thing that he was singing about.

'Aint nobody gonna do the things i did

Aint nobody gonna kiss the way i kiss

Aint nobody gonna spend the way i spend

Aint nobody gonna love you like i did

Aint nobody gonna be the fool for you

Aint nobody gonna open the doors for you

Aint nobody going through what i went through

Aint nobody gonna love you

Love you like i did...'

"Man I love that song. THat was the 90s" Shay nods her head as she discreetly wipes the tears from her eyes. She was so happy that she grabbed her sunglasses when she did. She sees the studio and was relieved because if she hears another fucking breakup song that reminded her of Bianca then she may just have a breakdown. Ashley pulls up and the song 'Stay' by Sam Smith comes on. Hell no! Ashley parks the car and Shay quickly gets out of the car so she doesn't has to listen to anymore songs that make her think of Bianca.

"Do you think they'll have food since they love us so much?" Shay asks first to distract Ashley from questioning her. Ashley's eyes widen at the thought,

"I hope so. I'm hungry. Ryan didn't come back with food" Shay smiles glad that she succeeded in distracting Ashley. She loops her arm between hers before walking to the studio. They greet the security guards then continue in to see Marlene talking to Tyler about something. "Lover!" Tyler looks over with a smile before opening his arms for Ashley to run into them. They hug each other tight before he turns and gives Shay a hug,

"How's my favorite little liars doing today?" He smiles at them,

"Favorite huh" Troian says behind him with a smirk getting Tyler to smile scratching his head,

"Yea, you're included Troian" Troian shakes her head at him before giving him a hug. "All the liars are my favorite. I can't pick just one of you guys that I love the most" Ashley glares at him, "Minus Hannah since she's the other half of my ship" They giggle at him,

"Are you guys ready for the shoot?" Marlene asks as they nod. Marlene throws an arm around Shay, "Good. We're still waiting on Lucy and Sasha to get here. Once they arrive then we can get everyone a touch up and then start going from there" They nod again,

"Ooh is there any food?" Shay asks with a closed mouth smile trying to look innocent. Ashley's eyes widen along with Troian's while nodding her head.

"Yes. It's right over there. Go eat since they said you girls are getting too skinny as it is" They smile at her before giving her hug and then walking in the direction where she pointed to. Thank God! Shay grabbed a muffin and a banana with some orange juice before walking over to the high table to stand and talk with Troian, Tyler, and Ashley. More and more people came like Janelle and Bryce which was a surprise to them that he was coming back to do the special. Sasha came and now they were just waiting for Lucy to come which wasn't really surprising. Shay just finished the last of her muffin when her eyes happen to roam over and see Yani talking to a brunette that seemed familiar to her. Shay furrows her eyebrows as her eyes went to the girl's backside for some strange reason. The girl was sideways before turning to talk to Bryce when he walked up. The brunette turned around as if she felt Shay's stare then makes eye contact with her. Karma is a fucking bitch. Shay's eyes widen as her mouth drops a little, they both freeze since it has been months like 8 months since they last seen each other and it wasn't like they ended on good terms either. Bianca flashes a quick small smile before turning around to saying something to Yani to excuse herself. Shay frowns as Bianca starts to walk away. Hell no. Shay goes to walk after her before feeling a hand on her arm stopping her,

"Where are you going?" Troian asks, curious where Shay is going.

"To the restroom" She pauses. It might be longer. "Then to the dressing room. I think I left one of my bracelets in there the last time we were here but was too busy to get around to getting it" Troian giggles at her causing Shay to smile back, taking a quick glance to keep Bianca in her sight. Shay had a habit of leaving things in her dressing room the last day they were filming and then not getting it back until they came back to work.

"Good thing it wasn't something you needed" Shay nodded, "See you in a bit" Shay smiled at her,

"Thanks Troian. Be back" She says before walking away in the direction that Bianca went. She smiled as she passed people. She sees Bianca walk around the corner before walking a little faster to catch up with her since there was no camera down this hall.

Bianca knew Shay was following and she could literally cuss herself out for putting herself in Shay's line of sight. She was doing so good until Yani walked over and pulled her to walk with him. She thought she was being careful by staying behind Lucy but that was a bad idea when Lucy was like five foot even. She mouthed the word 'fuck' as she tried to pick up speed when she hears the steps getting louder from her. She knew Shay was getting closer and prayed that she could make it around the corner where there was a camera in time. She knew this building like the back of her hand when they would sneak around to spend time with each. They knew where exactly the cameras so that they could get avoid getting caught. She only had a few more steps before she was pulled into a room and knew she was screwed. She heard the door lock and closed her eyes, not wanting to look around yet. Bianca took a deep breath then slowly exhaled and once she felt like she was under control she turned around to see Shay leaning against the door with her arms crossed and a smile playing on her mouth. Her head was tilted before her eyes ran down Bianca's body, admiring how she beautiful she looked today. Her eyes came up and locked on Bianca's, Bianca crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at her. "What do you want Shay?" Shay raised an eyebrow and Bianca was now cussing herself out for asking that question when Shay bit her bottom lip with a smirk. Bianca glanced away with her mouth twitching up a little into a smile knowing that whatever Shay says, it was her fault since she left the door open for it,

"If I tell you, are you going to give it to me?" Bianca shook her head, "Because there are a bunch of things that I want" Bianca looks back at her, "And they all include you" Bianca was in for a fight this time and she was almost certain that she was going lose this one but she was going to put up a fight until the end. Shay smirks. I'm so gonna win this battle.
