Emily sat up, placing a stray strand of blonde hair behind her ear. "What is it Nolan? You know you can tell me anything." she asked.

Nolan took a deep breath before saying "Emily since I first met you I have felt this spark between us and the more I got to know you the bigger it became. What I had with Tyler and Padma was nothing compared to what I felt with you so basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm in love with you." he choked out.

Emily's eyes widened as she took all this in and before she knew it she felt Nolan's lips crashing onto hers. Emily closed her eyes and felt herself lean into the kiss. Her brain was still foggy from her nap and thinking about the dream she had just had, which included Victoria , her and a private beach.

As much as Emily tried to pretend that the harsh salty lips against her's were Victoria's soft sweet ones but it wasn't working and she pushed him off her, kissing him felt like betraying Victoria and that was the one thing she didn't want to do.

Emily's eyes flickered over to the door and what she saw made her heart drop. Victoria was standing there, her hand raised as if she were about to knock, a horrified expression on her face and a tear was slowly rolling down her cheek.

When Emily locked eyes with Victoria, she saw Victoria's face harden and and she turned and hurried down the porch steps.

Emily got up quickly and gave a quick glance at Nolan "I'm sorry." she whispered before chasing after Victoria, not looking back at Nolan.

Victoria didn't get far, her heels were making it difficult to cross the beach and she was hurrying to get them off before the blonde caught up to her, if she was even going to chase after her.

Emily grabbed Victoria's shoulder and turned her around.

"What do you want from me." Victoria cried out, all her walls down and she was finally letting Emily see the woman who was behind the ice cold glare.

"Victoria I-I." Emily whispered, Victoria's expression was too much for her.

"Emily was any of this real? It wasn't was it? Good, because I never had feelings for you, ever." Victoria muttered, not trying to hide the fact that what she was saying wasn't true.

"Victoria why is it so hard for you to admit your feelings for me?" Emily asked, tears forming in her eyes.

That sentence earned Emily a hard slap but the stinging pain in her cheek wasn't enough to override the emotional pain she felt.

Victoria stared at her for a moment, expecting Emily to burst out in anger over the slap but when she got no reaction from the blonde she quickly turned around and stared to head for Grayson manor.

Emily hesitated a moment, to choose between Victoria or her revenge, happiness or eternal sorrow and what her father would have wanted for her. In the end he only would have wanted to see her happy.

"Victoria I'm in love with you!: Emily cried out.

The brunette stopped walking ,"What did you say to me?" she asked.

"Victoira ,you know you're in love with me too, please Victoria don't make me be the only one feeling this." Emily begged.

Victoria turned around and went in for a slap but before her hand could make contact with Emily's cheek, Emily and grabbed her arms and pulled her into a kiss. Emily's tongue asked for entrance and it was immediately given. Victoria's hands intricately wove into Emily's hair.

Victoria broke away and stared up into Emily's brown eyes. "I'm tired of pretending to be perfect Emily, I'm sick of fighting," Victoria said and grabbed Emily's hand, "Emily Throne, I'm in love with you and I can't explain why but the one thing that I do know is that this feels right."

Emily smiled, a smile like the one's she used to have when she was younger and led Victoria back inside.


Nolan was sitting on the couch playing a game on this phone when Emily walked in with Victoria. He jumped up and started clapping. Emily looked at him with a confused look.

"Finally! Gosh Victoria you take too long to admit your feelings!" Nolan laughed.

"So you are not in love with me?" Emily asked.

"No. Sorry! It was just to see if you were really in love with Victoria, you see I originally arrived to see how you were doing. Since you looked so cute and non-revengey sleeping I thought I'd let you have the moment of peace and sat down next to you on the couch. I would recommend getting a new couch because my back was hurting and I had to get up, which led me to the window which is where I saw Victoria attempting to cross the beach in heels. Victoria there's something called flip-flops ever heard of em? Anyway so I ran back to my position on the couch and then you woke up and then I made up some mumbo jumbo and kissed you then Victoria showed up." Nolan told them.

A smile came across Emily's face, everything was falling into place. Her best friend wasn't in love with her and Victoria was.

Nolan glanced over at the pair, going to say good-bye but when he saw the way they were looking at each other he quietly let himself out.

Emily picked up Victoria and sat down on the couch. Emily placed Victoria's head in her lap and let her legs stretch out. Emily slowed traced Victoria's jaw, her touch as light as feather. She felt that if she stroked Victoria too hard she would turn to ash.

"Emily stop teasing me," Victoria moaned.

Emily didn't stop though and began to trace Victoria's lips. The brunette's eyes begged for Emily to just kiss her already and Emily was tired of teasing her. The blonde slowly lowered her lips onto Victoria's.
