I know some of you didn't like that Emily with Shane, you know.

But it has to be done, for the story to go as I was planning. Hope you like this one.


When Spencer's friend opened the door, your jaw hit the floor. Woow. The friend was flawless.

After exanching names between you all the girl said.

"Nice to meet you all girls, welcome to my house". Mellisa says stepping aside for you all to get into the house.

"You're a couple of years older that Spencer. Where did you guys meet?". Aria asks. While the two girls look at each other with a grin.

"She's my sister". Spencer says pointing with her thumb at the girl at her side.

"But you said, she was a friend?". Hanna asks confused, just like every one of us.

"She likes to call me that, leave Spencer and her thinking ways".

"What?!, it just make me feel more cool". Spencer says shrugging her shoulder and looking at everyone.

"That's stupid". You say. And then you turned you attention to the new face between everyone. "Hi, I'm Paige. Thank you for letting us crush in here for two weeks". Taking her hand and kissing her and then you give her your flirty smile. Receiving an astonish but pleasant smile back.

"No!". Spencer says, hitting you in your raised arm." Don't you dare. She's my sister, Paige".

"I was just being friendly". You defend yourself.

"We all know your definition of friendly". Hanna says walking to the walls to see the pictures hanging in there.

"Come on, Paige". Emily says taking you by the hand, as you were having a flirty contest with your friend's sister. "Sorry about her, she gets like that with a beautiful girl".

"It's okay, even if you are kind of charming, I will never go there my friend. No offense, but you're too young for me". Melisa says, smiling at you before turning in her feet and walking along with Spencer and Aria to the kitchen.

"Can you be any more obvious?". Emily scolds you once you were alone with her and Hanna.

"Sorry".

"I have to take Emily's side this time. We are in Spencer's sister house for the next few weeks, and I'm planning to keep it that way, so you my friend just keep it in your pants for that fourteen days. Got it?". Hanna says pointing her finger to you, scolding like you are a five year old.

"Fine, I'll behave". You give up to your friends requests.

"Guys, come on, we'll have breakfast before going out". Aria screams from the kitchen.

/

"So, you live here alone?". You ask, trying to make conversation with Mellisa. You were all in the table having breakfast.

"It's that your way of asking me, if I'm married or something?". Is it you?, or Mellisa has been flirting with you ever since you got here.

"No, I'm just trying to make conversation". You smile back, taking a toast from the bread bin.

"Well, in that case. Yes, I live alone". She answers with a nod.

"Are you married?". You say keeping your gaze in her while you take a bite from your toast.

"No. I'm happily single". It was the simple answer she gave you, mimicking your early action. Yep, she's definitely flirting.

"So, where are we going first?". Emily asks, giving you a side glance for you to stop this little game with Mellisa. But, I haven't done anything. With a grimace in your face you look at her back.

"We can take turns, make a list about the places we all want to visit and then see which one has the most and then we'll go to that one". Aria says.

"Great idea". Hanna says.

"Are you joining us?". Spencer says to her sister.

"Naah, some of us don't have vacations. So, have fun. Also, if you don't know where to start, just go with the statue of liberty, it's the first place you have to visit".

"I second that". Emily says.

/

After you settle your bags in Mellisa's two guest bedrooms, you were all waiting for Hanna in the front door.

"Hanna, come on". You scream. "I don't know why she dresses up too much, it's just a little trip". You say mumbling the last sentence.

"It's Hanna". Spencer says rolling her eyes.

"Okay. Let's go". Hanna says once she appear from the outside the bedroom.

"Finally". You say, following your friends to the streets

"You're really grumpy, I can already see the wrinkles in your forehead". Hanna says trying to touch you there.

"Get off". You say swaging her hand away from your head.

"What are you guys, five years old?".

"I'm three, thank you very much". You answer to Emily.

" I'm not taking the subway, I want a taxi". Spencer says.

"I second that". You say, waiting in the sidewalk.

" Can we eat pizza for lunch later?". Emily asks, once you opened the door of a taxi.

"Obviously". You say once you were all in the taxi. Spencer gave the direction to the driver while you .

"Where are we going after this?". Aria asks.

"To eat, duh". You say is it was obvious."Damn Hann, keep still". You say to the friend who was sitting in your lap.

"After that, I meant". Aria says rolling her eyes at you and your friends acting.

"I don't know, thought you had the schedule?". You asks looking at her curiously.

"I forgot".

"Well, I'll be damn".

"Let's just see if we get too tired with this trip to go anywhere else". Spencer says front the passenger seat.

And you all agreed.

/

" Take a picture". Hanna says.

"No thanks". You say as you all were waiting in line to get on the ferry as minutes ago you all bought the tickets already.

"Shut up Paige and smile". Emily says to you before pulling you closer. Consenting your friend you pose for a few pictures and then you saw it. Emily's dimples were in full display, her smile hasn't left her face since you went out of Mellisa's place. As if pulled by gravity, you placed a short but soft kiss in your friend's left dimple. Catching her by surprise she turned her body to look at you with questioning eyes and you just shrug back and smile at her which seconds later Emily returned.

"Aaaaw, look at that. That's a sweet picture". Hanna says. And you just roll your eyes before stepping ahead as the line went forward.

"There you are". Hanna says as Aria made it to the line.

Aria bought 5 bottled waters and passed one to each girl.

"We have to take a lot of pictures and uploading them on instagram. Aria, you're the artist one, the photographer,here take this". Hanna says, passing her canon camera to Aria, who took it with a smile in her face. That girl loves some cameras.

"You okay there?". You asks turning your attention to Emily who is by your side.

"Yeah, I'm just excited". She says bouncing in her feet trying to hide a smile biting her bottom lip.

"You're cute". You say, touching the girl's cheek with a smile in your face.

"I'm not". Emily says wrinkling her nose.

"You are. You're all excited waiting in there, it is cute".

"Well, I've wanted to come here since ever. Thank you Paige". She says hugging you, and just when you were going for a kiss in the cheek, Emily did the same. Depositing a kiss right in the commissure of both of your lips.

"Sorry". "Sorry". You both say at the same time.

"It's okay". You both say together once again. And then you take Emily's hand smiling.

"Here we go". You say after going through the security check, the five of you made your way to the ferry and of course, Hanna and Emily wanted to go at the top of the deck even though it was summer, the wind was freezing in there.

Aria and Hanna stopped taking pictures to reserve some battery for once they reach the statue. You don't like pictures that much, not because you're not photogenic, you just don't like a lent in front of you, so you smile satisfied that there won't be pictures for a couple of minutes. You were so invested in your friends that you lost Emily's sight, looking for her around the deck you finally saw her leaning on the rails trying to keep her hair in one place.

You smile at the sight as you pull out your hat from your back pockets. You always use hats, even in summer, it's just a thing of you.

"Here". You say, closing the gap between the two of you as you passed your hat to her, which she accepted with no complains.

"Thanks". She said putting the hat in her head. " It's cold in here".

"Well that's the New York wind for you". You say as you took a place at Emily's side. You turn to look at her and see how she started to rub her palms together to keep her warm. "Come here". You say, standing with your front to Emily's back, you wrap your arms around her and taking her hands with both of yours you rub a little bit to warm her. And seconds later you feel Emily melt into your embrace, with your chin in Emily's shoulder, you can smell her scent, she has this vanilla scent in her and you love it. This is you and Emily, this is how you act and even if some people can thing that you are more than friends, you are comfortable with each other, that you give a damn about what other people think about you two.

Emily took the lead, grabbing your hands she guide your arms around her stomach keeping her arms along with yours she lean her head back resting them in the front of your shoulder.

"This way I know you can't cop a feel McCullers". Emily says with a playful tone in her voice.

"Pff. You wish Fields". You tease back.

You travel all the way to the statue of liberty like this. You swore you've hear someone taking a picture of you two but when you look at your sides no one of the girls were there.

/

"They look like a couple". Hanna says to Aria and Spencer, which were all watching their friends display of affection captured in the camera.

"Can't deny that, they really do". Aria says, looking at the picture taken moments ago. She and Hanna wanted to save that moment between their friends without breaking them out of their moment, so then Aria focused the lent, took the picture and both ran back, far away from the duo.

"They always do that, its second nature for them". Spencer says, taking a look at the picture. "That's a really great picture". She ends saying.

"Thanks". Aria smiles at her friend.

"Just don't tell them that they look like a couple. They're going to get awkward around each other. Remember that time when Lucas said that. Paige was acting weird for an entire week, just let them be". Spencer says.

"I love Shane as Emily's boyfriend but, the hell. I bet a hundred dollars that they're going to be a couple in two months from now on". Hanna says as they walk to their two friends who were waiting for them a few meters away.

"I'm in". Aria says.

"I give them four". Spencer says with that Hasting grin.

"I hate that smile, it's creepy". Hanna mumbles to Aria as the hurry their steps.


Hours after the visit and after buying some crown from their trip to the statue, they were back at Mellisa's place, but not before going to a pizza restaurant to order pizza as take out for the afternoon, thanks to Emily's insistence.

"God, I was starving". Emily says taking a huge bit of her pizza slice.

"Careful, you almost eat your hand in that bite". You say jokingly.

"Shut up". She says covering her mouth as she speaks.

You were all watching a movie in Mellisa's living room, while Spencer got the drinks in the kitchen.

"I want sushi for dinner". Hanna says.

"We can order". Spencer says as she approached to the living room with some bottles of sprite, and coke.

"No, we can made them. I know how to do it". Hanna answered.

"Okay, we can go shopping later". Aria says.

"No need". Mellisa says, appearing in the living room. " I was going to make sushi for dinner anyway, ingredients are in the bag, went to shop after work". She says taking a seat right at your side.

"Here, have some". You say taking a slice of pizza, putting it in a plate you passed to her.

"Thanks". She says with a wink and accepting your offer but not without touching your hand and lingering her touch a little bit, you clear your throat as you retract your hand and proceed to take your slice in your hands. The woman is gorgeous, it got some place in your body tingling a little bit, so you fidget a little in your seat to take down any little awakening of your friend down there.

Damn hormones.

"How was your first trip to the liberty?". Mellisa asks.

"It was awesome". Hanna says enthusiastically.

" You should visit central park too".

"Already on the list". Aria says.

"That's good. Okay, I'll go to take a nap. Wake me at seven?. To help you guys make dinner". Mellisa says padding your knee as she got up from the couch.

"Yeah". Spencer says.

"I'm going for a nap too". Hanna says standing up from the floor she went to her room. Followed by Aria and Spencer minutes later.

"More pizza?". You ask to your best friend.

"Naah, I'm full. Going for a nap too, you coming?". She asks you as she stood up.

" I'll watch tv a little bit more". You say smiling at her.

"Okay". She hugs you before going to your shared bedroom.

/

You don't know when or how you fall asleep , but hours later you woke up in the couch. Rubbing your eyes , you grab the back of the couch to straight you up. Letting out a groan as your hear someone moving things in the kitchen.

You stood up slowly before making your way to the sound coming from there.

"Well,well,well. Look who decided to woke up". Mellisa says, as she was starting to prepare dinner.

"Yeah, I lost track of time". You say, sitting in the kitchen counter's seats.

"Well, giving that you're the only one awake and your friends are sleeping yet. Tell me something about yourself, that way we can get to know each other".

"What do you want to know?".

"How old are you?". She says chopping the chicken.

"Eighteen".

"So, you're not a minor then?".

"Nop". You say emphasizing the 'P' with your mouth.

"You know. Those gym trousers looks really good on you".

"Umm, thanks?". The hell?. You thought confused.

"It's just…. Okay, I have a question". Mellisa says, leaving the knife in the counter and focuse her attention in you.

"Okay". You say, not really knowing where this was going.

"Do you wear a strap on or something?".

If you were drinking something, you know as sure it would be all over the floor right now.

"Wha…Whaa..Why do you ask that?". You say nervously fidgeting in your seat.

"I went to clean the table in the living room and I found you there sleeping and well, you've got something poking out between your trousers and, sorry I didn't meant to look at it but it stand out and I'm sorry I…".

Even in the awkward situation you both were. You cannot help but laugh at Mellisa's ranting.

"It's okay. I know it can be awkward, and maybe you are going to stay away from me after I tell you this, but I 'm comfortable with who I am. I was born intersex, so instead of you know, a female anatomy I've got the other one". You ended explaining.

"Oh". It was all Mellisa said from two eternal minutes.

And then you see movement, and you turn in your seat as you see Mellisa approaching you lifting her hand to take it to your shoulder, she leans into your personal space. But then she raise her other hand to take out another knife in the cabinet right above you and seconds later she is retracting away from you but not before leading her mouth closer to your ear.

"Maybe we can do something about it". She says in a husky voice, before going back to where she was. Holy shit. You know you are good looking, not to count you have an amazing body thanks to swimming and running and the exercises you do in your house. But damn, you just got Spencer's older sister to jump on you just a few hours before you meet her this morning. Got to be some new kind of record.

"I…we…ye…you know". You say trying to form a sentence, cause let's be honest. The woman was gorgeous and when she whispered that sentence in your ear in that way, it got your downward part to wake up, like a lot. Your short hair in your arms rises at the attention and you were a goner.

Sorry, Spence.

"If you want to". You say with a new confident in you. You receive a sexy smile back at your way.

"Sorry, I was more tired than I thought I was". Emily appears in the kitchen. Looking to a flush Paige and then to a much more flush Mellisa. "It's everything okay?". She asks with her eyebrows pinched together.

"Yeah, we were just chatting". Mellisa says, giving you a slight glance.

"Oh". Emily says, still really not believing anything that came out from Mellisas's mouth. But before giving it too much thought, her cellphone started to vibrate in her hand, and her face changed to one of happiness. "I'll be back". She says, skipping to the living room.

"Iug". You say scrunching your nose in disgust.

"What was that?". Mellisa asks.

"Nothing. I don't have a good feeling about Emily's boyfriend that's all".

"Ah, friendly jealousy".

"I'm not".

"Maybe you are. Maybe you want your best friend all to yourself".

"That would be extremely selfish".

"Aren't we all once in a lifetime".

"It could be, but I'm not".

"Or". You wait for her to continue. "Maybe you feel something for her and you haven't realized it yet". And when you open your mouth to deny it, Aria and Hanna step into the kitchen to help with the dinner. Your conversation long forgotten.


Four days had already passed in New York.

You have already visit central park, the Lake and bow bridge in there. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Rockefeller center.

But not everything was good to all of the girls. You noticed how Emily's face has changed since she came here. She was and is all happiness through all day but that change when Shane calls. Her face turns into one of annoyance and discomfort every night that her cellphone rings. Giving a note to yourself to ask to your best friend what is happening in there.

Out of that, you and Mellisa's game has been getting intense every single day. You guys are not just flirting, you're giving each other slightly touches here and there when none of the girls are in front of you two. Truth is, you don't know if you want to stop it or not. You haven't been with anyone, and you need something warm above or beneath you to be content. But is your friend's sister, so yeah, that complicate thing a little bit.

You were taking a shower in the downstairs bathroom, nothing better than a cold shower to get your morning wood to go away. That's one of the parts you hate about having a penis, there's not a day that you don't wake up with your buddy standing at full attention. Thank god you've always woke up earlier than Emily, otherwise it would be embarrassing for you if Emily get to see it.

"Come on buddy, go down, Jesus". You say looking at your cock that was standing at full attention.

After a couple of minutes and with no avail, your womanhood didn't go down, you sigh stepping out from the shower, ready to take care of this thing and just when you were reaching for the towel in the dangler, the door of the bathroom was open in a heartbeat, making you drop the towel to the floor and you were frozen in place as Emily let out a little shriek at your sudden appearance, both girls were standing right in front of you looking like a deer caught in the lights.

You can't find the strength to move, too scared to freak the girls if you gave any sudden movement. But then you see it. The girls gaze drop to that part who was still at full display for them to see.

You watch as Emily's eyes grow some centimeters bigger, and Mellisa's surprised expression changed to one of desire.

"What happened?". Spencer asks with an scared expression as she reached the bathroom followed by Hanna behind her. "Oh my god, Paige. Cover that thing!". Spencer says, turning around and leaving but not before grabbing to an stunned Hanna to followed her. And that was enough for you to react.

"What the…". You crouch down to grab the towel and covering your entire front. "What the hell girls?". You asks Embarrassed. You were sure your new skin tone was red by now.

But both girls stood quiet. You saw how Emily's mouth move trying to come out with something, but nothing seems to fall of her mouth making her look like a fish out of the water.

"Well, that was nice". Mellisa broke the silence. Emily turned her attention to Mellisa, looking at her weirdly for what she just said.

"We're sorry..I, we…." Emily try to say.

"We were looking for my hair straighten". Mellisa says walking passed Paige, grabing the item from one of the cabinet. "Okay, we're out of your way, for you to….take care of that". Mellisa says, leaving Emily and Paige alone in the bathroom.

"Yes?". You asks as Emily was still looking at you with a surprised face.

"Nothing, I didn't knew you were that b…..Nothing, I'll…. I'll just go". Emily says stepping back and tripping at she walked to the door but balancing her body she didn't fall, but you almost dropped your towel again as you tried to help her

"Yeah". You say, dropping your gaze to the floor. Too much embarrassing things for today's morning.

"I'm sorry". It's the last thing that Emily says before closing the door behind you.

You took your time in there, not really wanting to leave the bathroom to face your friend's weird out looks.

/

"Finally, you came out. Breakfast's ready, Paige". Hanna says, trying to hide a smile as she hands you a plate in front of you.

You took in your surroundings and you can see how Emily was with her head down, same as Spencer. But Hanna and Mellisa were wearing this smirks in their faces, and Aria was clueless.

"Okay, can we just do what you want to do, and move on. I don't want you to keep trying to act normal all day, when obviously you guys want to laugh".

And Hanna and Mellisa were the first ones to crack up.

"I'm sorry Paige, but seeing you in there with that face". Hanna says laughing.

"We're not laughing at your, you know. It was your face, it was priceless".

"I will pay to see it again". Hanna and Mellisa laugh.

"What did I missed?". Aria asks to her friends.

"Paige got caught naked in the bathroom". Hanna says.

"Showing everything". Spencer jokes entering the conversation.

"Everything". Hanna says.

"Wait. Everything?". Aria asks.

"We all saw Paige's penis".

"Yeah, The penis". Mellisa says.

"Mellisa!". Spencer exclaimed.

"What?. Honestly it was a huge surprise". Mellisa says making everyone including the quiet Emily to laugh at you.

"Oh my god, I can't breathe". Hanna says grabbing her stomach, trying to stop the laughing.

"You done?". You ask in annoyance.

"Sorry babe, should have closed the bathroom door". Emily says, drying her tears from her eyes.

"A knock would have been good, you know". You say, breaking into a smile. Finally seeing your embarrassment as a joke.

"I thought you said you were going to use the shower from upstairs". Mellisa says.

"I changed my mind".

"I will never see a cucumber in the same way now". Hanna says, making a second round of laughs to echo across the room.

"Kill me please". You mumble rubbing your temples.

/

"Want to tell me what is happening to you?".

You ask as you and Emily were the only ones in Mellisa's place. The girls when to the time square, but you and Emily wanted a day in home, if you can call it home. So you decide it to stay in the living room watching any movie or show that the television can throw at you.

"What do you mean?". Emily says from the other end of the couch.

"You've been weird".

"Um, no I haven't". She says curiously.

" You have this strange expression every night when Shane calls you". You say looking at your friend.

"Oh". She says as realization falls on her.

"You, okay?".

"Yeah, it's just. Does it sound cruel if I say that I don't miss him, not one bit?". She asks wrinkling her nose.

"Well, a little. I mean, he's your boyfriend".

"I know, that's why I feel so strange about it. I don't miss him, and everytime he calls I get the feeling of being pull out of this place".

"Maybe, you are to absorbed by the New York awesomeness view". You say.

"I don't know".

"Maybe you're living the dream of being in this place, and this is your dream, not him, not the girls. Maybe when he calls you, it pulls you out of it". You try to help your friend.

"The girls don't bothers me….Well, sometimes, but you don't, is it weird?".

"I don't know".

And silence falls in you,you have a lot of questions but you can see from here how Emily's mind is racing inside her head trying to find an answer.

"Can I ask you a question?". You asks.

"Yeah, sure".

"Do you like him?".

"Yeah". Emily responds in a heartbeat. And you nod your head.

"Do you, love him?".

"Yes".

"Are in love with him?".

And there it is, you were meet with just silence. Emily's eyebrows pinched together as realization fall in her.

" I don't know".

"I don't think you are, if you were, you'll have answered me right away".

"I thought I was in love, maybe I was mistaken".

"Shit happens. What are you going to do about it?".

"I don't know, I'll see that when I get back, from now on I just want to have a good time". She says, crawling to your side of the couch, and turning around, she put her back against your front as you separate your legs to make her fall between your body.

"You always notice me when I'm weird". She says as she looks at the tv.

"You're my best friend, of course I'll be worried about you". You say as you involve your friend in a hug from behind.

" I have a question".

"Fire away".

"How did Mellisa knew about what you had down there?".

"Oh, uh. She found me sleeping and well, I wasn't wearing compression boxers so she could tell that I had something down there".

"She watched you sleep?".

"Not in that way. She was cleaning the pizza boxes from the table and she found me sleeping".

"Well, I get about what she says, you can't really hide it well". Emily says.

"What?".

"You know, your thing".

"It's a penis, a dick, a cock. I preferred you call it for one of those names, please".

"Sorry. Well, I don't know why I'm saying this, but you really did an impression in everyone this morning, especially on Hanna, she still can't belive it".

"Why?". You scrunch your nose in a questioning expression.

"You're not exactly small, Paige".

"Oh".

"Am I bigger than Shane?". You asks playfully.

"Shut up, I'm not telling you that". Emily says smiling, and shaking her head side to side.

" I'm all to go out now, I'll call the girls. You're coming?".

"Nah, I'll go tomorrow". You say to your friend as she says goodbye, leaving you alone.

"A nap it is then". You mumble to yourself. But before you could get comfortable, you hear the front door, opening. And there it is, you know this is going to get out of control, you are both alone now.

"Hi, Mellisa".
