Chapter 10: War
Emily's Pov-
Paige and I had really drawn a crowd when we kissed in public earlier today.
Our first kiss and it was not like anything I ever thought of doing, not even in my wildest dreams.
Paige and I had just gotten back to the hotel and we sat on the bed and watched the TV, after the kiss it had been a slow day, but then again how often does a first kiss go like it did for me and Paige?
Paige was sitting behind me and she had her arms around me and rested her head on my shoulder.
We watched some movie that seemed to be about some surfer girl, I wasn't really paying any attention to the movie.
When the commercials started to air I looked at Paige, she had her head almost nuzzled into me.
"You didn't pay any attention to the movie either, right?" I asked.
"I forgot for a while that the TV was on." Paige answered.
"You goof." I said and slapped her arm.
"We'd like to interrupt this for some local news." The TV suddenly said and Paige and I turned our attention back to the TV.
"The luau we're going to have next week is going to be romance themed and it seems like some tourists are already celebrating in advance." A TV reports said as the TV showed a clip from when Paige and I kissed.
"No way!" Paige shouted exited but I blushed embarrassed.
"I hope there will be more couple having a great time at the luau, remember all couples gets all drinks half priced and every third drink for free, and now back to your show." The reporter said and then the commercials continued.
"That was weird, do you think the reported is stalking us?" Paige asked.
"Well whoever she is she sure has interesting timing." I said still trying to hide that I was blushing from seeing me and Paige kiss on the news.
Paige moved her hand to my chin and made me look at her "Emily, will you go to the luau with me?" she asked.
"Yes." I quickly answered and kissed Paige.
"Wow, easy there Em, don't want to end up on the news again." Paige joked.
"You're such a goof." I said.
"That might be true, but I'm your goof." Paige said and I kissed her again.
When our lips parted I turned off the TV. "I'm hungry. Wanna get a bite?" I said.
"I can eat." Paige said and we got up and we went to the buffet table and once we sat down and ate our food Aria, Spencer and Hanna showed up and joined us.
"Soooooo?" Hanna said and looked at us.
"How are the lovers?" Aria asked.
"We saw you on the news." Spencer explained.
"Really? Hanna watches the news?" I asked.
"Hey! I watch news… sometimes." Hanna said.
"So, are you guys going to join us at the luau?" Paige asked.
"Yeah we are." Spencer said.
"Here is my date." Hanna said and put her arm around Aria who pushed it away. "We're just going to fake that we're a couple." Aria said.
"Is that really a good idea?" I asked.
"What Aria and I knew each other well and we know how to talk to each other like a couple." Hanna said. "And we look cute together." Hanna said and moved close to Aria smiling as Aria forced a smile.
"What if you'll have to kiss?" Paige asked.
"No, I like Aria but it'd just feel weird to kiss her." Hanna said.
"The feeling is mutual." Aria said as Spencer, Paige and I laugh.
"Ok, and what if you two would have to kiss?" Hanna said.
"We kissed on the news, I think everyone here knows Paige and I are a couple." I said.
"So, Paige. Where are you from?" Spencer asked.
"I'm from Philadelphia, born and raised." Paige answered.
"And hobbies?" Aria asked.
"I like to work out but swimming is the best thing I know." Paige said.
"You swim often?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, my dad bought a pool when I said I wanted to be a professional swimmer when I grew up." Paige answered.
"Ok and what about our parents? What do they do for a living?" Spencer asked.
I could see that Paige didn't wanted to talk about that, her reaction was about a fraction of a second but it was enough for me to know.
"Paige, we need to hurry if we're going to get to the scuba diving we signed up for." I said.
"Oh, yeah we should hurry." Paige said and we got up from the table and walked out of the restaurant.
When we left the restaurant we ran to my room, once we got there Paige hugged me tight.
"Thank you." She said into my ear.
"It's ok, I was with you when you confronted your dad. You shouldn't have to talk about that if you don't like it." I said and I could see some tears falling from Paige's eyes.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I've been running for so long I've forgotten how it felt to have someone who cares about me." Paige said.
"That's what happened when someone loves you." I said.
Paige kissed me softly. "I love you too."
Paige kissed me again this time she bit my bottom lip and I felt her hands on my waist.
I moved my hand from her shoulder and cupped the back of her head as I felt Paige moving her hands down to my ass. She cupped my cheeks and lifted me up, I wrapped my legs around her waist and I felt Paige pushing me up against the wall and the light was suddenly turned off.
I didn't cared, I just kept kissing Paige as I held her tight.
"Hey, Em! Are you in there?" I heard Hanna's voice from outside my room.
"Oh, shit" I mumbled as Paige quietly put me down.
"Hey, Emily! Are you there?" Hanna asked still outside my room.
I hushed Paige and I giggled knowing that Hanna could have walked in on us having sex.
"Emily if you're in there stop fucking around and answer." Hanna said and Paige and I struggled to not laugh.
When Hanna had finally left Paige giggled so hard she fell to the floor and held her sides.
"I'm glad you're enjoying this." I said sarcastically.
"You have to admit that it's hard to believe that just happened." Paige said as she got up.
"I guess you're right." I said.
We looked out the window and the rain was really pouring down.
"I don't think we're going outside anymore today." I said.
"Yeah, it's hard to tell if the rain is going to stop today or not." Paige said.
We looked away from the window and Paige pulled out a deck of cards from her pocket.
"Wanna play war?" Paige asked.
"Sure." I said and we both sat down and Paige started to shuffle the cards.
"Ok, first or second card?" Paige asked.
"First." I answered.
"It's the 8 of spades." I said as Paige showed me the card.
She draw her card and looked at it, she smiled and said "I guess I win this round." And showed me her card, it was the ten of diamonds.
"Rematch?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, this time you're going down." I said as Paige reshuffled the cards.
"First or second card?" Paige asked.
"First." I said.
Paige showed me my card, this time it was the two of hearts. "Crap." I said as Paige looked at my card. "Oh, tough break." She said as she drew the second card that was the three of clubs.
"Ok, give me the deck." I said and started to shuffle.
"I guess that means rematch." Paige said.
"Ok, your turn to choose, first or second?" I asked.
"Second."
"Ok, here is your card." I said and held up Paige's card for her to see.
"Thank you." Paige said and smiled. I looked at the card and saw that it was the ace of diamonds.
"Oh, come on!" I said as I drew my card, it was the two of spades.
"Wow, you're really bad at this." Paige said.
"Ok, one more round and if you win this round I'll kiss you anywhere on your body." I said, now I felt that I had to win, I usually get luckier when it's more at state.
"Where will you kiss me?" Paige asked.
"That'll be a surprise." I said.
"Fine, and if you win I'll do the same." Paige said as she shuffled the cards. "Ok, which card?" She asked.
"The second card… from the bottom of the deck." I said.
Paige looked surprised at me and reached from under the card and draw her card. "Nine of cloves." Paige said.
Then she draw my card and showed it to me. "Jack of hearts, yes!" I almost shouted now when I finally had won a round.
"Lucky you." Paige said and she placed her arms behind me and she moved in and whispered "Close your eyes."
I did what she said and I could feel her moving in closer towards my face, I was ready, then I felt her lips pressed soft on my right eyelid.
"Rematch?" I asked as I opened my eyes, blushing as Paige reshuffled the cards.
We kept playing war and we made small bets to keep it interesting, Paige won most of the round but I won every fourth or fifth time.
"Ok, I think that's enough." Paige said.
"Please, just one more round." I begged.
"Ok, how about this, the one who loses has to strip down to her bra and panties?" Paige asked. I was nervous to take the bet but I wanted to win this final round.
"Deal." I said, Paige shuffled the cards.
"First or second?" Paige asked.
"Second." I said, feeling very confident.
Paige drew her card as smiled. "The ladies loves me." She said with a smile as she showed me her card it was the queen of hearts.
"Don't be too confident, I can still win." I said and I moved the deck to me and drew my card.
I looked at it confused.
"Well, what did you get?" Paige asked.
"Rules for draw and stud poker." I said and showed her the poker rules card I had.
"No way!" Paige said and giggled.
"Well, who wins?" I asked.
"Hard to say, you're not supposed to use that card in any game, but since it's just one of those cards it makes the odds much lower to get that card." Paige said.
"Wanna just call it a tie?" I asked.
"Yeah, we tied." Paige said and she kissed me again.
"Besides, we'll have much funnier at the luau tonight." Paige said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Well, I know I will." Paige said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I'll go with the hottest girl in Hawaii." Paige said and I walked up and kiss her. "When you put it that way I feel like the lucky one." I said and smiled at Paige, I love her so much I never wanted to be away from her.
