"WHAT?!" Aria exclaimed in surprise. Spencer and Aria both stared in complete shock at Hanna with eyes wide open sand jaw dropped.
Hanna had a worried face on. "I...um.." She thought deeply on what to say, avoiding eye contact with her friends.
"E-Emily? Emily likes you...what how.. since whe-" Aria couldn't even believe it. She didn't even know what questions to ask.
Aria turned to look at Spencer in the same surprised face with her jaw dropped still. Although Spencer had predicted they had something going on, she was still in shock as well. Maybe not as shock as Aria, but shocked.
Spencer opened and closed her mouth not knowing what to say to her blonde friend. She had so many questions running through her mind at the moment and so many mixed emotions. She glanced at Aria and back at Hanna.
"S-Since when?" Spencer asked while staring at Hanna knowing Aria was still processing what she just heard.
"It's been a week now since I knew but a while since she had a crush on me..." Hanna said quietly looking at Spencer with worried eyes.
Neither one of them were showing emotion. Well, they were. Just not the emotion Hanna could easily respond to. They looked as if they had just seen a ghost. Aria more pale than usual with eyes wide open and Spencer with furrowed brows and mouth wide opened looking slightly confused rather than surprise but both were sporting the same reaction.
"She..um.. she told me this week when I went to her house. I felt like she was avoiding me or something so I texted her saying I was going to go over and she agreed. So I went over and brought pizza and we were gonna watch a movie but I decided to practice for the play since it was coming up and so that's what we did. Then we got to our kissing part and I told her we didn't have to do it if she didn't want to, but she said it was alright so we kissed and then..." Hanna drifted off knowing she shouldn't continue the last part of what happened with her and Emily.
"Then what?" Spencer said furrowing her eyebrows looking like a little girl listening to her grandfather tell a scary story at a campfire.
"Nothing we just kissed and then we sorta made out...?" Hanna said sounding almost like if she was asking a question unsure of her their reaction. "Then she told me she had been wanting to do that and that she's been having these strong feelings for me for a while now but I was completely blind to it and she never wanted to tell me because I like boys and she thought I wouldn't feel the same about her." Hanna sighed feeling a little irritated at herself for not realizing sooner.
Spencer slowly managed to get a little less tense and softened her expression at the view of Hanna fiddling with her fingers looking unusually nervous. She knew Hanna cared what they might say, they were her best friends. So she took a step closer to her taking in a breath before speaking.
"So.. " She paused for half a second before continuing and smirked. "do you feel the same?" Spencer asked calmly as if she already knew the answer to the question.
Hanna looked down then slowly raised her gaze up at Spencer. Spencer immediately took the hint. Her eyes grew big and her lips slightly parted. Noticing Spencer's reaction, Aria caught on. They both stared but soon a smile began to grow on Spencer's face.
Aria gasped. "Oh my god... Hanna... y-you like her?!" Aria said sounding mostly surprised. "B-But you're straight!"
"Well, I mean I still like guys. It's just... Emily." She said with a sigh, she went back to looking down at her hands.
Aria turned to Spencer noticing the smirk on her face. "Spence why aren't you surprised!" She waved her hands as if trying to catch Spencer's attention, but Spencer wasn't daydreaming she just simply knew all along. It's that gut feeling.
"I am but I mean I kind of figured." Spencer shrugged with her arms crossed.
"You did?!" Hanna scrunched her nose.
"C'mon Hanna it was so obvious." Spencer uncrossed her arms and walked over to Hanna sitting next to her.
"We were?" Hanna asked glancing at Aria.
"VERY obvious." Spencer smirked.
Aria softened her expression and let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding. She knew Spencer had called it all this time but didn't believe it was true. She honestly didn't care though, deep down she slowly came into realization of the little clues and the signs. She realized they actually make a cute couple. She knew it would help to be supportive.
"Well, now that I think about it you guys were making it pretty obvious." Aria smiled and sat next to Hanna on the other side. Hanna laughed at Aria's confession.
"So you guys are not mad?" Hanna glanced from Spencer to Aria.
"No of course not Han, we're surprised but not mad. We're your friends. We will support you no matter what. Plus, you and Emily make a ridiculously cute couple." Spencer smiled while Aria nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys you don't know how much this means to me." Hanna hugged her friends. "Wait but me and Emily aren't a couple." She added while pulling away from the embrace realizing what Spencer had said.
"So what are you waiting for?" Spencer raised one eyebrow and grinned. Aria let out a small chuckle realizing Spencer had been assuming right all along.
"She's mad at me. She probably thinks I'm gonna choose Travis over her or something." Hanna shook her head in disbelief.
"Well are you?" Aria asked.
Hanna made a twisted face as if Aria just said something completely stupid. "No of course not! That's like making me choose between pizza and a salad, there's absolutely no competition."
Aria and Spencer both laughed. They knew she'd pick Emily, they just wanted to know how far she'd be willing to go. Spencer got up and walked up to her front door opening it. She looked at Hanna with a sweet smile on her face.
"What are you doing?" Hanna asked, looking at Spencer as a if she was doing something crazy.
"I think you need to go get your pizza, Marin." Spencer smirked as she leaned against the open door waiting for Hanna.
"Go get her, Han." Aria motioned Hanna for the door.
Hanna looked at her two friends with a cheesy smile and got up to walk to the door. She glanced out the door and back at Spencer who was holding the door wide open while smirking.
"What if she doesn't want me though?" Hanna said now feeling a bit hesitant.
"Oh please, judging by the way she looks at you and the way she blushes every time you're around she definitely wants you." Spencer chuckles and nods her head towards the open door telling her to go for it.
Hanna sighed and walked out the door to her car. She drove off to Emily's house. She had her radio on to drown her thoughts and calm her nerves but so far it wasn't helping. She couldn't help but think she might get rejected but at the same time she knew Emily did get jealous over Travis and that gave Hanna a boost of confidence that maybe Emily will want her after all.
When she got to Emily's house she sat in her car a little longer trying to process what she's going to say. She didn't want to mess anything up nor say something stupid. She slowly got out walking towards the front door. With a deep breath, she knocked a few times. She stood there waiting for the door to open up but it didn't. Hanna got nervous and knocked one more time. The front door opened but nobody was behind it so Hanna just walked in. She saw Emily standing by the door but a few feet away from it. Emily looked as if she had been crying which broke Hanna's heart. Hanna shut the door and walked towards Emily who was staring down while fiddling with her hands.
"Emily... I.." Hanna couldn't find the words to speak. She hated seeing Emily this way and the fact that it was because of her made it even worse.
Hanna slowly walked over to Emily. She lifted Emily's chin and smashed her lips against hers. She kissed her so softly and passionately, she could almost feel Emily's heart pounding. Hanna could feel a tear which escaped Emily's eye wetting her a little on the cheek. She cupped Emily's face and moved her lips in sync with her. It felt like eternity.
When she pulled away slowly, Emily's eyes fluttered open in the cutest way making her look as if she was high from the kiss. Hanna nuzzled her nose against Emily's then pressed her forehead against hers. Emily wrapped her arms around Hanna's neck and closed her eyes enjoying the moment and not wanting it to end.
"Emily." Hanna pulled back to look into her eyes.
Emily raised her eyes up to Hanna's looking like a lost puppy. "Sorry, I shouldn't have gotten mad. I was...it's just...he was there and I thought.."
"Emily do you wanna go out with me?" Hanna said interrupting Emily from her rambling.
Emily's eyes widen and her eyebrows raised as a blush crept on her cheeks. She smiled at Hanna and a shy giggle escaped her mouth. She jumped on top of Hanna wrapping her legs around her waist and pressed her lips on hers. Hanna walked to the living room with Emily still wrapped around her and sat on the couch while still kissing her. Emily pulled back biting her bottom lip.
"So is that a yes or...?" Hanna squinted her eyes pretending not to know.
Emily laughed as she tangled her fingers in Hanna's hair. "Yes! I thought you'd never ask." She said as she pecked Hanna's lips.
Hanna smiled sweetly at the cute girl straddled on top of her. She had a warm feeling inside and she couldn't help but think of herself as the luckiest girl in the world. She rested her hands on Emily's thighs as Emily gave her small loving kisses all over her face making Hanna giggle.
Emily smiled widely. "So that means we can tell Spencer and Aria...right?"
"Uh that won't be necessary." Hanna smirked.
Emily had a confused look on her face trying to read Hanna. "What do you mean?"
"I kind of told them. Well, actually they pretty much already knew." Hanna rolled her eyes remembering Spencer saying they made it obvious.
Emily's eyes grew big and she chuckled. "Let me guess, we were making it obvious?"
"Yup." Hanna smiled and brought her arms around Emily's waist pulling her closer. "But who can blame me..." She leaned in slowly placing a soft kiss on Emily's lips.
