A/N: Hey guys, all things considered I've had a very productive week writing wise. 3 chapters for this story and 2 one shots. I hope you enjoy this chapter and as always please leave a review :-) Jarrad
CHAPTER TEN
On the way to Emily's house we talk about our day, including Hanna and Aria's reactions to hearing of our shenanigans yesterday to which we both just laugh. It doesn't take long and we're walking in the Fields' front door being welcomed by the smell of fresh baked cookies, "Is that you Emmy?" Calls a woman's voice, whom I can only believe belongs to Mrs Fields.
"Yeah Mum and Spencer's with me. We're going to go up to my room to study."
"Hold up a minute young lady." I hear movement in another room, presumably the kitchen, "I would like to have a word with you first."
I tense up and Emily who is standing only inches from my side must have sensed it because she takes my hand and gently squeezes it to try and calm my nerves, "It's okay babe, she probably just wants to meet the one and only Spencer Hastings." She chuckles as she leads me towards the kitchen.
As we enter I see Mrs Fields bending down taking something out of the oven before turning to face us, "Perfect timing girls, who wants some chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the oven?"
I just smile as Emily excitedly squeals, "Me!" She then turns to me, "Babe do you want some? I promise you, they're going to be the best chocolate chip cookies you have ever had."
"How could I say no to that Em?" Emily lifts my hand to her lips and places a kiss on the back of my hand while Mrs Fields places the cookies on a rack to cool before turning to face us again. "They will need to cool for a few minutes, so how about we sit and chat while we wait." She smiles and motions to the kitchen table, we all sit, Emily and I on one side and Mrs Fields on the other, "So you're the young lady I have been hearing so much about."
I smile, "I surely hope so, it's nice to meet you Mrs Fields." I extend my hand to shake hers, which she does.
"Emily tells me you are the captain of the field hockey team and various clubs at Rosewood High." She smiles at her daughter before returning her gaze to me.
"Yes, that's true, I became captain in my junior year, and I'm also captain of the academic decathlon team, debate team and chess club."
"Well it sounds like you're a very busy young lady, I just hope you find time to hang out with friends and have fun."
"I find a way to always make sure I have time in my busy schedule to have downtime to hang with friends and relax, but I think your daughter might be taking that time for herself." I turn and smile at Emily as she takes my hand into her own and starts to draw patterns with her thumb.
"That's absolutely correct Spence, and I hope you have cleared your whole Saturday for our date."
"I did that as soon as you asked me on an official date."
"Oh, where are you two planning on going on your first date?" Mrs Fields asks us both.
I shrug, "Your guess is as good as mine Mrs Fields, Emily insists on keeping it all a secret."
"My little Emmy has always been a bit of a romantic, she gets that from her father." Says Mrs Fields smiling.
"I'm beginning to see that." I squeeze my girlfriend's hand and smile, "And I for one cannot wait for Saturday but I'm not very good with surprises, it's killing me not having a clue what she has planned."
"All in good time babe, just know it is all being taken care of and it will be perfect, just like you." She smiles a lopsided smile at me and I blush.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I think we need to have a little chat before you go upstairs to study."
"Can't we do the talk later Mum? We really need to study for a History test we have tomorrow." Emily pleads but her mother shakes her head.
"No Emily, we need to have this discussion before Spencer goes up stairs with you." Emily huffs knowing there is no way around it, "If Spencer is to come over, you must follow these simple rules." She pauses and waits for us to nod in agreement, "Okay, first, your bedroom door must always be open and if I'm not home, upstairs is off limits." Emily and I both nod, "You cannot fall behind with your schoolwork and coaching, and finally, if Spencer is to stay overnight she must sleep downstairs on the lounge. If you break any of these rules you will be grounded, are we clear?" Glancing between us wanting a verbal response.
"Yes Mum."
"Crystal clear Mrs Fields."
"Well now that's done, Em could you please grab some glasses of milk while I get some cookies for you two to take up to have while you study."
"On it." Emily says as she jumps up and opens a cupboard and removes two glasses before grabbing a carton of milk out of the fridge and pouring it into said glasses. She turns around to face me and kisses my cheek, "Spence, could you give us a moment? I just need to talk to my mum about something quickly."
"Yeah, sure thing Em. I will just wait out in the living room." I stand and leave the mother daughter duo in the kitchen.
After a few minutes of looking at all the photos of the Fields family on the mantle, walls and tables I hear Emily speaking, "So what do you think?"
"I think it's wonderful Emmy, I'm sure Spencer will love it all." At the mention of my name I turn around to see both Emily and her mother standing in the doorway carrying a plate of cookies and two glasses of milk. Both sporting a wide smile, "Here you go sweetie." Says Mrs Fields as she passes me the plate of cookies, "Good luck studying for that test. I am making roast beef and vegetables for dinner, is that okay with you Spencer?" I nod and reply yes, "I will call when dinner is nearly ready, okay girls?" We both nod our heads.
"Thanks for that little chat Mum, and for the cookies of course."
"Yes, thank you for the cookies Mrs Fields, and may I say you have a lovely home?"
"You're welcome Spencer and thank you." She says with a smile before waving us off towards the stairs.
"Let's go study so we can prepare for this History test Spence." Says Emily as she nudges me as she walks past to start climbing the stairs.
When I know we are out of earshot of her mother I say, "I'm more interested in studying you." I lightly tap Emily on the butt, causing her to giggle.
"Do you mind Spence, I have my hands full." She asks as we reach her bedroom door, I open the door and allow her to walk in first.
"You know you could have walked in first." She calls over her shoulder before turning to look at me.
"I know, but I was checking out the view." I smirk as I enter.
"I thought you were." She playfully says setting the glasses down on her bedside table and I do the same with the plate of cookies. I look around the room before sitting on the edge of the bed. "Oh nice, you have a window seat, I always wanted one of those. I bet it's nice to sit and watch the snow fall." I say as Emily takes a seat next to me on her bed, a cookie in her hand.
"Yeah, winter is my favourite season, I love the snow. You should try some of this, open up babe." She holds up the cookie and I take a bite.
I instantly let out a little moan, it's the perfect blend of soft and crunchy, "You weren't kidding, that's the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten." I say with cookie still in my mouth.
Emily smiles and reaches her hand to my face, "You have a little something." She rubs her thumb against the corner of my lip and then sucks the chocolate off her thumb, I swallow hard.
"You do know there was a better way to remove that chocolate Em." I say, my voice low and raspy, knowing that would get her back for sucking on her thumb in such a seductive manner.
"Hmm, you might have to show me then." I snake a hand around her waist and the other rests on her upper thigh, I lean across and gently kiss her lips. Emily eagerly reciprocates and runs one of her hands up my arm while the other brushes against my cheek. We separate and rest our foreheads together, "I guess we better start studying history, or you will start studying Emily Fields 101."
I groan, "I don't know how well I'll be able to concentrate when we're in your bedroom alone, but I can't touch or kiss you."
"The feeling is mutual, but we can't fail the first test we take since we have gotten together, or our parents will stop us from seeing each other, we just have to suck it up and study hard for this test so we can be trusted to study together in the future."
"Yeah, I know, you're probably right. Where do you usually study? On the bed or at your desk?" I ask as I lean down and grab my bag to pull out my textbook, notebook, highlighters and pens. Emily sees what I'm doing and starts to do the same.
"Well I like to lay on my bed when I'm by myself but if Aria and Hanna are over I sit at my desk. So, you can take the bed Spence, and if we're good and study hard, we might be able to spend some time together on the bed before dinner."
Upon hearing this I quickly open my textbook to find the right chapter, "No time for chit chat Em, we need to do well in this test."
Emily giggles and takes her seat at the desk, "Does this have anything to do with the chance of fooling around before dinner?" I look Emily straight in the eye and in a very serious tone I say, "Yes. Yes, it does."
Emily giggles again. "Babe you should have a cookie, it might cheer you up and Hanna already told me you can get hangry when you study."
"Hangry?" I question.
"Yeah, a mix of hungry and angry, so eat a cookie please, I need my sweet Spencer back." I pout, before reaching over and grabbing a cookie and taking a big bite.
"Happy now Em?" I joke.
"Finish your cookie and bring me a couple over, I'll make it worth your while." She winks.
I immediately eat my cookie, grab the plate and a glass of milk heading over to Emily, "Here you go gorgeous." I place the plate and glass on the desk, "Now what was that I heard about it being worth my while?" Smiling she licks her lips and tugs on my blazer so I'm forced to lean down to her level, where my lips are met with hers. I happily reciprocate and feel arms wrap my waist as I'm quickly pulled onto the swimmer's lap, our lips never losing contact, I run my fingers through her voluminous jet-black locks. The need for air becomes too great and we reluctantly part, my hands linked around Emily's neck, "That was -" I begin.
"Intense." She says breathlessly, and I just nod my head, "Now we really have to start studying."
"I think that kiss will suffice until we are done." I plant a chaste kiss on her cheek and stand up and return to the bed opening my textbook to begin studying.

We're both happy with what we achieved in our study session, which consisted of reading, taking notes and quizzing each other. Mrs Fields seemed pleased to see us studying when she brought us a bottle of water each, saying we need to stay hydrated, but it was obviously her way of checking up on us. When we have both put our textbooks and supplies away I stand up from the bed and stretch my arms above my head, "Now we can finally get to the good stuff." I say before returning to the bed sitting up against the headboard. When I realise Emily hasn't moved I look over at the desk, and see the raven-haired girl sitting there watching me with a small smile gracing her perfect features, "Are you coming Professor Fields?" No response, so I speak louder, "Em?"
"Huh? What?" A slight tinge of red staining her cheeks, obviously embarrassed by being caught staring.
"Where were you just now babe? You seemed pretty spaced out."
"Sorry, I was right here, I was just admiring the beauty before me and thinking how could I be so lucky to call you my own?"
"No, no, no. I'm the incredibly lucky one babe. I still can't believe I'm in the same room as the most gorgeous woman in the world, let alone being bestowed the great honour of calling her my girlfriend." I pat the bed beside me, "So could you please come over here, so I can begin to show you how happy I am to be with you?" Her smile increases in size, she slowly stands up and walks over the bed, sitting up against the headboard beside me, I take her hands in mine, "Em, the time we have spent together the last few days has been so wonderful. I've loved every minute of it."
Emily turns her head and looks me in the eye, "Even Hanna and her inappropriate jokes and questions?"
"Yes, even with Hanna discussing everyone's masturbation habits. I wouldn't even change that." Emily quirks an eyebrow, so I continue, "You look so cute when you blush, and it meant you cuddled into me and looking to me for protection from Hanna and I'll jump at the chance to have you so close to me. Not to mention the way you teased me when I threatened no kissing privileges, damn you got me pretty good."
"What? When I did this?" She asks innocently, running her tongue along her bottom lips, so it gets a nice sheen before biting it.
"Yeah exactly, but your hand was pretty busy too."
"Oh, how could I forget that, it was the reason you caved in, wasn't it?" Winking she takes her hand back and slowly runs her hand up my thigh starting at my knee, "So, where exactly did you decide you couldn't take anymore babe?" I shrug. Stopping half way up my thigh and gently squeezing, "Was it here?" I shake my head as her hand moves further up, "Hmm, I couldn't have made it all the way here, could I?" She asks while she lifts my shirt and teasingly runs her fingertips along the waistband of my jeans before slipping her thumb inside, causing me to gulp.
"Everyone would have known if you went in there, Em." I blush as my voice cracks heavily.
"Getting a little nervous, are we?"
I swallow hard, "Of course, your mum is down stairs and could walk in on us at any moment, and you're trying to get in my pants." I lean over and place my lips against hers.
Emily pulls away, "You didn't seem to have a problem with that yesterday in the barn."
"I know I didn't, but we shouldn't have done what we did yesterday. I really care about you, and I wanted our first time to be special, not some quickie on a lounge." I turn away from Emily, tears welling in my eyes as my throat starts to tighten, "I'm sorry Em, you deserve much better than that."
A hand cups my face forcing me to look her in the eyes. "Spence it's okay. I'm sorry too. I wish we had more self-control, but sadly we didn't. It doesn't change the fact that we had sex and you were amazing. But maybe we should wait until a more suitable time and place next time, make it a bit of a do over. Would that make you feel better babe?"
I wipe a rogue tear away, "Yeah. A do over."
Emily lifts her arm, "Come here babe." I cuddle into her side and she kisses the top of my head, "I hope you know that I wasn't really trying to get in your pants just now, I was just teasing. And you're right my mum could come in at any moment. I actually think I hear her coming now." Just as Emily finished, Mrs Fields was poking her head in the door.
"Oh good, you two are finished. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes, so wash up and come down please." Emily nods in response and her mother turns around and heads back down to the kitchen.
"Come on Spence. You're going to love Mum's roast beef."
"If her cookies are anything to go by, I'm going to be your Mum's number one culinary fan." We enter the bathroom and take turns in washing our hands.
"She's gonna love that. Quick question, what is your favourite dessert?"
"Until a few hours ago it was apple pie and ice cream, but now, give me a plate of those cookies and I'm more than happy. Why do you ask?" We head down stairs.
"Well I just wanted to see if Hanna was right. I asked her yesterday what your favourite dessert was, so we could have it tonight."
"Aww…babe it is so cute that you would go to that trouble for me." I stop at the bottom of the stairs and kiss her quickly.
"Don't thank me, thank my mother, she's is the one who made the apple pie from scratch."
"Seriously?" Emily nods, "Your mum is awesome."
"Should I be worried that you're going to leave me for my mother?"
"What? No! But I can see where you got your looks from babe, she didn't happen to teach you the secret recipe for those cookies, did she?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't get the cooking gene from my mother. I can do the basics, nothing flash."
"Oh well, I will just have to stop by and see both the Fields women then." I chuckle as Emily nudges me towards the kitchen.
"You would make my mum's day if you said that to her. She loves to feed everyone, just ask Hanna and Aria. She probably already has a batch of cookies for you to take home with you."
"Fingers crossed."
As we enter the kitchen, Mrs Fields is in the fridge and Emily points to a Tupperware container on the cupboard, "See, I told you." I just grin.
"Could you set the table for me, please Emmy?"
"What can I do Mrs Fields?"
"Could you please grab some of those glasses there and take them out to the table please sweetie?"
"Sure, consider it done, anything else?"
"Well if you could take those out and come back and grab the bread rolls and mashed potatoes that would be very helpful. Thank you, Spencer."
"Well it's the least I could do Mrs Fields, you let me come over to study with Emily and then stay for dinner."
Mrs Fields just smiles, "Of course sweetheart. As her girlfriend you're a big part of Emily's life now and I can only assume you will be spending a lot of time here, so it's important we get to know each other and that you feel welcome in our home."
"Thank you Mrs Fields. You have a wonderful daughter and I consider myself very lucky and privileged to be a part of her life and I will do whatever I can to make her happy and keep her safe."
Mrs Fields crosses the kitchen and gives me a hug, "That's all a mother can hope for her daughter."
Emily walks in and sees me in an embrace with her mother, "Oh god Spence. Did you tell her how much you loved her cookies?"
Mrs Fields pulls back smiling and wipes a tear from her cheek, "You liked the cookies?"
"Yes, they were delicious, the best I have ever had."
"Thank you Spencer. Now let's eat before it gets cold."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Well Mrs Fields, I think I just found my last meal, it was absolutely delicious. Emily and I can clear the table and do the dishes, you should treat yourself to another glass of wine in the lounge room." Before she has time to argue, I stand and start grabbing plates and heading into the kitchen. Emily and I do the dishes before we go back up to her room and watch the Good Dinosaur. Emily and I must have fallen asleep, Emily wrapped up in my arms because we're woken by Mrs Fields clearing her throat, resting against the doorframe, "I think it's time Spencer heads home to her own bed."
I quickly jump off the bed and apologise, "I'm so sorry, Mrs Fields. We must have fallen asleep during the movie, it won't happen again."
Mrs Fields just smiles, places her hand on my shoulder turning to Emily and says, "Emmy, I can see why you like her so much." She looks to me, "Spencer, I put together some leftovers from dinner and some of the apple pie as well, seeing as you loved it all so much. I also made a fresh batch of cookies for you to take home. You can grab them on your way out."
"You didn't have to do that Mrs Fields."
"It was no trouble at all, and call me Pam. Emmy, don't stay up too long, you both have school in the morning."
"Okay Mum, night, I love you."
"Good night, Emmy, I love you too." Mrs Fields walks up the hallway to her bedroom and closes the door.
"Let me walk you out Spence."
"Thanks babe, just let me grab my bag."
"So, I think it's official, my mum loves you."
"I can't help I have something you Fields women can't resist." Emily glares at me, "What? I was only kidding. I'm just glad your mum likes me."
