Breyanaxo: Your so right. I've been using the wrong word. My bad

Chapter 3

Emily POV

" I want all the deets. NOW" Hannah said loudly at the lunch table the next day. She was always the most cheery at lunch. Or whenever their is food involved. I'm sure she could tell it went well since all morning I had a permanent smile plastered on my face.

" Theirs not much to tell. We had a nice home cooked dinner under this beautiful gazebo in her backyard. She gave me a tour of their house and we talked. It was very nice and private"

" Emily. That sounds like a goodnight but your smile says something entirely different" Aria added.

" Guys. Really. That is all that happened. I just had a really good time. It was perfect especially the good night kiss"

" Emily Fields, you dog. Holding back on us. I bet she is aggressive. Was she?" Hannah dared.

" No actually it was me who kissed her. She was very shy about the whole thing. Polite" I smirked.

" So are you guys going out again?"

" Yea Friday" both girls squealed.

" Good. It's about time you found someone" Aria smiled.

" Speak of the devil" Hannah said looking past me. I turned to see Paige and Spencer walk into the cafe. Paige was dressed in a plain gray t shirt with a black sweater and black skinny jeans. She was always wearing dark colors. Her dark eyes scanning the cafeteria. They were laughing about something.

" She is so cute" I heard Aria say dreamily.

" Who? Paige?" I said turning back to her. She seemed to snap out of her daze.

" Uhh yea. Paige. Your totally lucky" she smiled. Spencer walked around the table sitting between Hannah and Aria. Paige sat next to me smiling.

" Hello ladies" Spencer sang.

" Hey" we all offered.

" So Emily here was just telling us what a great night you guys had" Hannah smirked.

" Good because I had an awesome night" Paige smiled. She turned slightly giving me a nod of approval for telling my friends.

" Yea me too. I got leftovers from the dinner. It was a great night" Spencer said. We all giggled

" Speaking of A great night we would like to invite you guys to our house on Saturday night for a little party. Just us and a few other seniors" Spencer added.

" Ohhhh. I'll totally be there" Hannah said gleefully.

" Me too" Aria answered.

" Great" Spencer said before biting into her sandwich.

" So I get to see you Friday and Saturday night" I asked looking at Paige.

" Unless you've changed your mind" She was smiling so I knew she was joking. The rest of the week went by easily. I loved spending time with the sisters. They had become part of our little group that had always just been us three in just a months times. Paige had began to open up more while Spencer was still a closed book. She never really addressed me directly and never made an effort to hang out with me. At first I took it as her just being a little hard to crack but then she started hanging out with the others. Over the past few weeks their had been many occasions where I tried to hang out with the girls but they already had plans with Spencer. I guess I just wasn't used to someone new in the group.

I tried not think about it too much on Friday when I asked Hannah to help me pick out an outfit for my date but she was already hanging with Spencer. I just picked something out myself. I was anxious for my second date with Paige even though I had spent all week with her. I had reservations for us at a new Italian restaurant right outside of Philly. I decided on a form fitting dark blue dress with a low cut front. I added a little eyeliner and red lipstick. I told Paige it was formal so I hope I didn't overdress.

" Emily. Can you put on a sweater or something?" my mom frowned as she walked past my room.

" Mom. It's not that low cut. I've worn this to school before"

" If I had known that I wouldn't have let you out the house" I roll my eyes at her comments as I blot my lipstick"

" Well I have to go. I will probably see you in the morning" I say walking carefully down the stairs in blue velvet 3 inch heels.

" Ok. Drive safe. Be careful in the city"

" Got it" I say stepping out into the night. After my mom had accepted my interest in girls she seemed more relaxed about me going out. The drive to Paige's is no time at all. I park my car on the curb. I unlatch the front gate and walk up to the porch. Before I can even knock the door swings open. My jaw goes slack at the sight in front of me. Paige is wearing a short black dress. The tops conforms around her chest then bellow out to above her knees. The top is see through with a lacy flower pattern covering her in all the right places. Her auburn hair is straight down with some in the back and some hanging over her shoulders. The last thing I look at our her white heels that are much higher than mine.

" Paige. Wow" is I can say.

" My eyes are up here Fields" she jokes.

" I'm sorry. You look amazing"

" You look great too" she smiles.

" I don't even need dinner. I could just stare at you all night" I say smoothly. I see her cheeks tint with pink.

" Why miss dinner when you can do both?"

" Right. Let's go" She locks the door and we make our way to the city.

" Don't let Hannah catch you wearing those. She might steal them"

" These are my favorite" she pouts.

" I really wasn't expecting you to be so girly"

" It's not really my thing but every once in a while I like to show off"

" Well you look great anyway you dress"

" Thanks" she smiles. The rest of the way we make small talk over the low music. We hold hands most of time except when I need both hands to steer.

" Were here" I say pulling into a parking lot. We make our way down the lit up street. There are plenty of people out and about on a Friday night

" Fields party" I tell the host once we reach the restaurant.

" I do not have a table for a Fields party. Could it be under another name?" he says with a thick Italian accent.

" No. I only have one name. I booked this days ago" I say irritated.

" I am sorry for the mix up ma'am but we are packed tonight" he offers apologetically.

" Saranno 50 dollari convincere a spremere noi? " I hear beside me. I look in shock to Paige who is looking at the waiter intently.

" Oh sì signora. Credo di poter trovare belle donne un tavolo " he says. He snaps at one of waiters who scrambles over quickly.

" These two are very special guests. Treat them as such" The waiter ushers us to follow him.

" I didn't know you spoke Italian" I say once seated.

" I guess I forgot to mention it" she giggles.

" You just forgot you speak Italian"

" It hardly comes in handy" she shrugged.

" Well you saved the night. This place is all the buzz but they don't even know how to make a reservation." I say laying my hand over hers from across the table.

" Hi I'm Lawrence. I am going to be your waiter for the evening. Can I start you ladies off with drinks? Maybe an appetizer?"

" I am just going to have water" Paige answers quickly.

" Sweet tea please" The waiter saunters off into the busy restaurant.

" Do you see an appetizer you like?" I ask Paige who was looking at the menu.

" The deep fried tortellini sounds good. Anything you see that you want?" she asked.

" I can barely read the menu" I half joke. Just then the waiter returns with our drinks.

" Ready to order?" he said with pen and paper in hand.

" Yea I am going to have the tortellini ricotta and spinaci . She is going to have the linguine with clam sauce" she said before I could say a word. He smiled as he took our menus and walked off.

" What if I don't like what you ordered?" I said stubbornly.

" Then you can have mine" she assured.

" What if I don't like that either?" I challenged.

" Then you shouldn't have come to an Italian restaurant" I couldn't say that I didn't like her ordering for me. It was kind of hot. We kept our hand connected across the table as we made small talk until our food arrived. She asked me about my dad. How me and the girls became so close. She was asking all the right questions. She never seemed to judge and only listened about my boring life in Rosewood. She was absolutely right. I loved what she ordered for me.

" Do you want to try mine?" she asked offering her fork. I leaned forward and opened my mouth biting the fork with my teeth seductively. Her food was great too.

" Mmhhmm. Yours is great too" she nodded in approval. When we were done with our food the waiter brought the check. She grabbed it as soon as he put it down.

" Paige. Please. It's my turn"

" Nope. I never let anyone pay for me"

" But I want to" I pouted. She seemed stun for a minute before ignoring me and putting cash into the small black check holder. I continued to pout as I folded my arms across my chest.

" Don't pout. I'm just used to paying" she reached out her hand. I hesitated before putting my own on the table.

" I wanted to treat you" I reiterate

" Believe me. You are" she smiled her full watt smile. She rubbed the side of my hand gently. I could feel the warmth radiating from her hand.

" Are you getting sick? You seem really warm" I say reaching for her forehead.

" No. I'm fine. I just run a little hot"

" I agree with that. Are you ready to go?" I say with a wink. She nods pulling her napkin from her lap and standing. The night is still young as we make our way back to Rosewood. I don't want the night to end so I try to think of anything we could do so I can have more time with her. She reads my mind.

" Do you want to hang out at my place for a little while?" she says out of the blue. My face lights up as she speaks what was about to pop in my head.

" Yes but I really want to get out of these clothes. Can we stop by my house first?"

" Yea" she smiles. I can see her reflection in the window. Her red hair against her pale skin in the moonlight is a sight to see. She is beautiful. The dress makes me look at her in a different way. She looks great wearing anything but I notice certain things while she is wearing the dress. Her high cheek bones, her broad shoulders, her milky skin. She catches me staring. I toss my head nervously trying to play it off. She giggles.

" You can look. I won't be looking like this again anytime soon so soak it in" she jokes. A little while longer we pull in front of my house.

" You can come in if you want. I'll just be a minute" I say.

" I'll just wait here" she smiles. I dart up the sidewalk and into the house.

Paige POV

I watch as she darts up into her house. Tonight has been amazing. This girl is nothing but perfection. I can't even begin to wrap my head around the fact that I found her. Or the fact that she has given me a chance. I hope she feels the same way too. I sit fiddling with a string on the hem of my dress. She comes out a few minutes later.

" Sorry it took me so long" she said plopping down in her seat.

" You were gone for like 5 minutes" I chuckle. She had changed into some jean shorts and a t shirt. I honestly couldn't think of anything else but taking this dress off the whole ride home. When we pulled up all the lights were on. We usually kept it pretty dark so I was surprised when we walked in the front door.

" What the hell Spencer?" I said throwing my clutch on the side table. She popped her head from out of the kitchen.

" Hello sister. Emily" then popped her head back out of sight. The house was decorated in silver and black streamers. The fake paper hung around the banister all the way upstairs and then to the chandelier. Their was table set up in front of the fire place. A couple large bowls sitting on top. A large speakers connected to Spencer's laptop sat on the dining room table. It looked like some sort of DJ set up.

" Is this all for tomorrow?" I asked yelling into the kitchen.

" Some of us don't have hot dates so I figured I would get a head start" she yelled back.

" Shall we" I said pointing to the stairs ignoring Spencer's comment. I follow behind Emily trying my hardest to not look at her behind but it is hard. When we reach my room she automatically finds a spot on the bed crossing her legs and waiting for conversation.

" Can you unzip me?" I asked turning my back to her. She leaned forward on her knees reaching up to pull down my zipper. The tip of her finger runs down my back as she guides the zipper. I arched slightly away from her touch.

" Are you sure your not sick? Your really warm" she repeated.

" No. I feel great" I let the dress fall off my shoulders before stopping it with my arms. I pulled out a t shirt and some sweats. I walk out the room and into the bathroom. I think it is a little soon to be changing in front of Emily. I mean we've only been on 2 dates but I feel like I have known her forever. I change quickly tossing my dress on the floor. When I walk back into the room Emily is laying on top of my comforter looking like she belongs.

" I wish I had a bed this big" she says dreamily. I don't say anything but instead take a seat on the edge behind her. She rolls over and now my back is laying against her stomach. She runs her finger up and down my arm.

" Speak more Italian" she continues her movement on my arm.

"Sei una visione di bellezza"

" What did you say?"

" I said you are a vision of beauty" her face turns red and she looks away from me.

"Non essere timido. Io dico solo la verità" I continue when she doesn't say anything.

" What did you say now?"

" I said don't be shy. I only tell the truth"

" I know I have barely known you a month but I feel a really intense connection with you. I'm sorry if I am creeping you out. I just want to be honest"

" It's not creepy at all. I feel the same way. Your the first girl I have felt a real connection with in a long time. We've only known each other for a month and been on 2 dates" I say trying to reassure her.

" I want to spend more time with you"

" Well as long as you want me, you have me"

" Your not seeing anyone else are you?" she asks nervously. I see the fear flash across her face.

" No. I'm not. Are you?"

" Nope" she answers with a laugh.

" Any crazy Exes running around Rosewood I should know about?" I say laying my hand on her hip.

" Not anyone that matters"

" Good. I'm the jealous type. I should say that now"

" So am I" We both laugh. Another thing we have in common.

" So is this official? I mean I know its soon..." I cut her off by pressing my lips down on hers. Her words are immediately lost and her lips begin to move with mine. I shift my body around and hover over her using my hands to hold me up. I feel her hands on my hips guiding me on top of her. She moves her hands to my face. I can feel her nails brush against my temple as she pulls me in harder. Finally I break away breathless.

" That answer your question?" I ask. She shakes her head.

" Your such a princess... Emily Fields will you go out with me?"

" Yes"

The next month is pure perfection. I finally begin to feel like I fit in somewhere. I have the most amazing girlfriend. School is going by with ease. I like all my teachers and am doing well with my grades. Spencer seems to be fitting in as well. Her, Hannah, and Aria are inseparable. If their not with us then they are usually at the house or shopping. All three girls have been spending a lot of time at our place. Not that I am complaining, I love having my girlfriend around. Emily and I have been doing amazing ever since she said yes to being my girlfriend. We spend our afternoons studying, working out, or just hanging out. We have been on plenty of dates in the last month and I am so happy to call her mine.

Their was another full moon last week but I was prepared for this one. I made sure to tell Emily ahead of time that I would busy that night. We told the girls that we would be busy skyping our parents so it was private. I hate lying to Emily. I hate lying to everyone. I also hate hiding who I am but I would never expect her or anyone else to stay after finding out about my "condition". I manage to keep it a secret. It's pretty easy as long I don't get too angry or excited but so far nothing has set me off. Life is going pretty well.

" What are you doing for you and Ems 1 month anniversary?" Hannah asks me sitting on my bed Saturday afternoon. She is painting her toenails while we wait for Spencer and Emily to get out of Saturday detention. I was very happy that Spencer had opened up more and started to accept Emily as my girlfriend even though she thought it was a bad idea to let someone so close but their idea of bonding wasn't normal. Spencer had convinced Emily to break into the school pool Wednesday night to skinny dip after the other girls declined. Both girls were caught, thankfully after they had put their clothes back on, by the janitor. Spencer could have easily gotten away but didn't let Emily take the fall alone.

" I'm not sure. Do girls really celebrate a 1 month anniversary?" I ask.

" 1. Your a girl. 2. Believe me it's a big deal"

" Gotcha. Maybe flowers and a card"

" She's not sick Paige!" she says slapping my arm. I freight like I am hurt.

" It's just a one month. If I go all super romantic how am I supposed to top each month"

" I'm not saying you have to go all out. Em will like anything but you should do something"

" Fine. I'll figure something out. Happy?"

" Yes. As her best friend it is my job to interfere but don't tell her. It has to be all your idea" she winks at me. We continue to talk while she paints her nails.

" So what's up with Spence? I mean she is so mysterious"

" Why does everyone think were mysterious? We are normal!" I say putting emphasis on each word.

" No I mean like she never tells us anything about herself. I know that she is really smart, witty, funny, fashionable, wordly, cute..."

" Omg! You totally like Spencer" I say hopping off the bed with excitement.

" What? NO! I just..."

" That's why your always with her. Are you even gay? Emily never told me you were gay?"

" I'm not gay. I'm fluent. Look she just intrigues me but she won't let me in. We spend almost everyday together but I hardly know anything about her. I've told her everything about me. I'm an open book"

" Spencer can be a little rough around the edges. Maybe she doesn't even know you like her. Have you told her or showed any interest as more than a friend?"

" Not really. I've never been rejected before so I'm scared she'll be the first"

" Hannah. Come on. Spencer loves spending time with you. The girl is brilliant but just oblivious when it comes to women. You have to make your self known"

" I'm the loudest person alive" she complains.

" You know what I mean. Just let her know how you feel"

" Fine but if this blows up in my face I am going to kill you"

" Don't worry. I know my sister better than anyone" I smile reassuringly. She continues her painting in silence as I think of things I can do for me and Ems 1 month. Maybe jewelry. No too soon. Maybe something small and thoughtful. I don't know. I'm no good at this. As I give up I hear the garage door coming up. I dart off the bed.

" Hey!" I hear Hannah yell when the bed moves. It's too late I am already down the stairs and out the side door. Spencer is driving and Emily is the passenger seat. I cop slide across the hood and pull open the door for her.

" Hello" she sings.

" Hi beautiful" I say giving her a quick kiss. I close the door behind her and intertwine our fingers together. I lead her in the house.

" Are you hungry? Did they feed you in prison?" I joke when we reach the kitchen.

" I'm starving" she pouts.

" I'm sure I can throw something together" I say heading for the fridge. Before I can grab the handle she pulls me back into her.

" Can we go out for something to eat instead?"

" Of course. Do you want to invite Spencer and Hannah?"

" Hannah's here?"

" Yea. She came over after you left this morning"

" Oh. Ok then yea let's do it" Spencer must have heard our conversation because her and Hannah are already coming down the stairs.

" So how was detention Em? Hannah said bouncing out the garage door.

" It was boring. We couldn't talk, listen to music, or put our heads down. I literally just sat there for six hours pretending to do homework"

" Maybe you will learn your lesson about trespassing?" I joke as I slide into the back seat next to her.

" Where are we going?" Spencer asked.

" Let's go to the grille" Hannah said.

" We always go to the grille. Can we go somewhere else?" Spencer moaned.

" Let's just drive to Philly and find something there" I suggested.

" Gotta stop for gas" Spencer said as we made our way to a gas station just outside of town. Spencer got out the car to pump the gas.

" Do you want anything from inside?" I offered aloud

" No. I'm fine" Emily says quickly. I look at her leaning into her seatbelt.

" You look tired" I state.

" Not tired. I'm just in a daze from sitting for so long doing nothing"

" Is that Noel Kahn?" Hannah says from the front seat.

" Yea I think it is" I say looking were she is pointing. There is Noel Kahn running in workout clothes. His clothes are drench in sweat as he runs in front of the gas station. He notices us and makes his way over to the car.

" What are you guys up to?" he questions leaning on Spencer's car trying to catch his breathe.

" Heading to Philly to hang out" Hannah answers.

" Aren't you missing one of the posse" he says referring to Aria.

" She decided to stay home today" Hannah mentions.

" I'll catch you guys at school. Oh and Hannah don't forget our bet" as he jogs off.

" What bet?" Spencer asks getting back into the car.

" Noel and the rest of the football team are going camping next weekend. He dared me 200$ if I can last both days without leaving"

" I didn't take you as the camping type" Spencer questioned as we got back on the road.

" I'm not but I will be for a new pair of shoes" she smirked.

" I don't think it's a good idea. I heard it supposed to snow next weekend. Like really bad" I inserted.

" Snow in October. That's crazy" I hear Emily say.

" I just don't think you should go. The weather might be bad. Plus why do you want to go with all those boys?" Spencer cringed.

" Em is going to go too" Hannah argued.

" You are?" I said turning my head to her.

" Yea I told her I would tag along. I was going to tell you when the plans got more solid"

" Oh"

" I want to show Noel Kahn that I can do anything he can do" Hannah continued her argument in the front seat.

" It's just not a good idea Hannah. You know nothing about camping. Plus with the snow it will just be that much harder" Spencer challenged.

" Ok. Ok. Just drop it. We won't go" Hannah snapped. The tension in the car grew. I looked between Spencer and Hannah who just stared straight ahead. I looked to Emily for answers but she just shrugged her shoulders. When we pulled into a parking deck in downtown Philly Hannah exited the car before Spencer could even cut the engine. She was halfway down the sidewalk before any of us got out the car. Spencer jetted forward while I connected hands with Em.

" What's up with them?" I asked.

" I don't know. Hannah has been acting weird lately" I guess that Hannah hasn't told Em about her feelings for Spencer. I don't know if it is my place to tell her or not. We continue walking until we catch up to them. They have taken a seat outside a small pub. They seem to have made up because they are laughing when we arrive. The rest of lunch goes without a hitch. We all are getting along just fine. Emily is full and sleepy on the way back so she stretches out across the back seat laying her head in my lap. I run my hand through her hair as she dozes off.

Hannah and Spencer are eying each other in the front. I can tell that she has feelings for Hannah. I decide I will talk to her about it later. It's time for her to relax and enjoy life. She is always wound up so tight. In the back seat I nod off to sleep and in no time we are back at the house. Emily wakes up when she feels the car stop moving. I smile at her crazy hair and kiss her on the lips. She smiles at me hazily. We all make our way into the house going to our respective rooms. Emily slides in under the cover with a sigh.

" Em it's only 5" I mumble into her ear.

" Wake me up tomorrow" she huffs.

" Emily. You promised your mom you would be home tonight. You've been staying here almost every night for like a week" she evidently takes my tone the wrong way.

" Do you not want me here?" she whines.

" Of course I do. I just want you to be on good terms with your mom so she will still let you stay over. You know she is already upset about you getting detention"

"Yea of course. Your always right" she says snuggling into my side.

" So how about you stay home tonight then spend the day with your mom tomorrow. I'll pick you up Monday for school"

" Mmhmm sounds good. I don't want to leave though"

" I know baby. I'm just trying to be fair. Believe me I want to be selfish and have you all to myself" I say kissing her forehead. The first few days of our relationship we talked about how quickly things had progressed. How fast we fell for each other. One of the things we talked about was being physical with each other. We determined that just because we fell for each other quickly doesn't mean we have to rush things. I have this crazy strong attraction to her. Sometimes I literally want to rip her clothes off. I get too excited and have to calm things down. So far we have been pretty good about taking it slow.

" Come on. Let's get you home" I say tugging her up. She groans and pulls her weight down. I easily grab her waist pulling her up to me. She wraps her legs around my waist. Her eyes open wide then close into a seductive glare.

" This doesn't make me want to go home to my lonely cold bed" she smirks. I blush. I gently place her on the ground. She keeps her arms wrapped around my neck. I kiss her forehead, then her cheek and move to her lips. She presses back firmly and I lose my thoughts. She moves her hands to my chin ushering me closer. Our mouths are hungry for one another. Finally we break apart.

" Your going to kill me Fields" I say lowly. She laughs and kisses me.
