Rainy Day Check List Part2
Disclaimer: I own Nothing
AN: Ok here's part 2 as promised.
Hastings' Living Room…
"I can't believe that they made us take the test!" Hanna groaned from her spot on the floor next to the fireplace.
"Blasphemy!" Spencer cried in mock outrage, causing all but Hanna to laugh and giggle.
The blonde lifted to her elbows, glaring as Spencer leant against one arm of the couch, Aria perched at the other end. "Vocabulary lessons are over Spence, I took the damn test so let's just be done with it."
Maya giggled from her spot on the black European chaise lounge, her right arm supporting her head atop the chaise arm, while Emily snuggled her left side to Maya's front. Emily just shook her head looking up to Maya in exasperation. Maya giggled still, nuzzling Emily's ear and kissing the girls temple.
Spencer stood suddenly, grasping the empty wine bottle, "Alright, anyone want another glass?" after a chorus of 'yes' she made her way to the kitchen and opened another bottle, bringing it back to the four girls resting comfortably in the warmth of the open fire.
"Now that, that's been taken care of, I have an idea." Hanna paused to sip from her freshly filled glass, the other girls, sans Maya, groaned. Instead Maya cheered her on.
"Oh are you thinking of a game?" Maya smirked.
Hanna smirked back, "Oh but of course I am, it wouldn't be a true Hastings slumber party if we didn't play a game of 'Never Have I Ever'." Everyone smiled at this. "Alright everyone on the floor and around the coffee table now bitches."
Hanna remained with her back to the fireplace, with Maya to her right, then Emily, Spencer and finally Aria on her left completing the circle. "So who goes first?" Maya questioned as she got comfortable, her hand resting upon Emily's leg under the table.
The girls snickered as Emily choked on her drink. "We uh just start really." Maya nodded, smirking into her cup.
"Never have I ever…" Hanna paused, before smirking, "Slept with a teacher."
Aria groaned before drinking, Maya stared wide-eyed, "Oh my god, Aria!"
"It happened before school started, I was at this diner and we hooked up, it just so happened that he was the new English teacher. Your turn Maya." Aria confessed.
Maya nodded, "Ok. Never have I ever…been arrested." She eyed the group, and then watched as Hanna sighed and took a drink.
"Shoplifting." She shrugged in explanation.
Emily laughed a little, remembering the whole ordeal. "Never have I ever…had a crush on Toby Cavanaugh." She smirked at Spencer.
Spencer groaned and drank from her cup, "That was before the whole Jenna thing." She said in defense.
Emily looked at her in disbelief, "Right…because you don't think he's attractive, like at all."
Spencer glared, "Fine…never have I ever wanted to sleep with a girl." She smirked at Emily. The girl blushed and took a drink, along with Maya and... Hanna and Aria." What! You guys?" she sputtered.
Hanna again shrugged unapologetically, "I fully intended to reap the benefits of a lesbian college experience."
Spencer turned to Aria; the girl gave a quirky kind of smile. "Katy Perry makes a valid point." Seeing Spencer's incredulous look she rolled her eyes. "Oh come on Spence, you've never even thought about it? I can admit that I'm curious and wouldn't turn it down if the opportunity arose."
Spencer shook her head in disbelief, "Wow."
"Anyways…never have I ever…been the other woman." Aria smirked as both Hanna and Spencer emptied their cups. Aria, Emily and Maya laughed.
"Alright, I think that's enough for the night." Spencer slurred a bit. Hanna nodded in agreement. "Aria and Hanna are staying in my room, so that leaves you two with the guest room, that ok?" she questioned Emily as Aria helped Hanna up the stairs.
"That's fine Spence." Emily agreed, moving to stand but Maya stopped her.
"We're just going to hang out down here awhile that ok?" Maya smiled.
Spencer shrugged, "Do what you want my parents are gone for the weekend so…" she paused and then frowned at them, "No sex on the couches." She smirked through her 'stern' voice.
Emily blushed like mad, Maya giggled and held up three fingers, "Scouts honor." Spencer nodded in content and went up to her room leaving the two by themselves.
If you listened closely, past the steady drumming of the rain and crackle of the fire, you could hear soft giggling and even softer whispers of the two girls in the living room. Resting on the soft down blanket and comfy throw pillows in front of the fireplace, the two were content.
Maya lie on her back closest to the fire as Emily curled around her body, head resting on Maya's shoulder, her eyes dancing with the flames. "I got to say…when Spencer called me to change our plans, I wasn't expecting this." Maya paused to drop a kiss onto Emily's head. "This right here, right now, is a far more perfect moment than I could have thought to come up with."
Emily smiled into the girl's neck, "I'm just glad you went along with it." She lifted up to look the girl in her eyes. "It wouldn't have been the same without you." Silenced enveloped them as Emily stare down at Maya, a calmness in her eyes that Maya hadn't seen until tonight.
"What are you thinking, my pretty girl?" she cooed, sweeping a fallen lock of hair behind Emily's ear, her thumb dragging along a soft cheek.
Emily shifted her weight more fully to her elbow and took Maya's hand in her own, interlocking their fingers. "Am I?" she whispered to herself and then once more louder. "Am I your girl?"
Maya's instinct was to laugh, because the question itself was that outrageous, but she held herself back. She could see the certainty in Emily's eyes. 'It's the first time she has looked completely confident.' She thought to herself. "You're my only girl, Emily. The only one I'm with, the only one I want. You are the only one I need."
She spoke her words without smiles and laughter, but with hard determination, resolve. She needed Emily to see that she was serious, that Emily matter to her; that she wasn't like Alison. Maya watched as Emily's lips quirked into a slow, soft smile, though the look in her eyes hadn't changed a bit.
Then Emily lifted up, pulling Maya up with her. Maya quirked a brow but otherwise didn't question as Emily positioned herself in front of her, sitting crossed legged and motioning for Maya to do the same. Once Maya complied, Emily spoke, "We're going to play a game."
Maya's smirk was automatic, "What kind of game?" she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Emily chuckled and shook her head.
"Not that kind of game, a game of truths." She replied, smirking at the disappointed look on her girlfriend's face. 'Hmm girlfriend…I could definitely get used to that.' Emily smiled in thought.
Maya nodded. 'We'll play it your way for now Emily Fields.' She fought to hide her smirk. "Who goes first?" her voice though, gave her thoughts away. Emily flushed, knowing exactly where Maya's thought were lingering.
Emily cleared her throat, "I came out to my friends in the seventh grade." Maya looked shocked but quickly nodded and waited for Emily to continue. "Then Alison and I started messing around in eighth, then started dating the summer between eighth and ninth grade. It officially ended halfway through sophomore year and almost immediately after I started dating Ben." She explained.
"Alison had this way about her; she had a way of making you want to please her. She befriended us all the start of seventh grade, back then we were different people from different worlds. Alison had always been popular, Spencer was a nerd, Aria was a rebel, Hanna was a good average girl, and I was a jock. We didn't take a second look at each other passing through the halls, but we all saw Alison.
"Then, a week before school started, Alison invited us to her end of the summer party at her lake house. We were the only ones invited. We stayed up there the whole weekend, just hanging out, but then on the last night Alison told us why we were really there. She'd been watching us, in the halls, in class. She said she saw something in each one of us that she liked, that she wanted around her."
Emily laughed a little bitterly, "She had us make a pack, and she said that to keep secrets from your friends was a worse fate than death." Emily rolled her eyes, "She was always a little dramatic. So that night, in her family's cabin, we spilled all our secrets. The thing about Alison was that she expected your honesty and your loyalty, but offered none and we were all too wrapped up in her to walk away.
"By the time eighth grade hit, I swore I was in love. She had a way of making you feel special, and if she favored you, she made you believe that you were loved; like you were the only thing that mattered. It wasn't real though, her way of keeping you close, because Alison needed an audience, she craved the attention. You see even though I had feelings for Alison, I knew nothing would ever come of it, so I started hanging out with this girl. Pretty soon Alison got jealous and started paying more attention to me.
"She even made it a point to be the one to give me my first kiss, said that your first kiss should be with someone you can trust and who better to trust than your best friend? In the end she just wanted to own us, that's all it ever was. We started messing around, kissing and whatnot, but by the time summer hit I was fed up with having to share her with the boys and having to keep things quiet…
"She spent all of summer convincing me that she loved me, and when freshman year came we were together officially, and happy. But she was still Alison, which meant that she needed to have that control, she wanted to be the only thing in our lives that could make us happy, especially in my life. In private she was the doting girlfriend, but in public it was like a switch had been flipped. We fought, constantly, and every time she made me believe that it was my fault.
"By the time Jenna transferred at the end of freshman year I wasn't happy, but I thought I was in love. Alison was always a good liar, she taught us how to be good liars too, but none of us were as good as her. She was caught on school grounds with Jenna, outed to the school, the town, and her parents. It was during school hours, so we all knew about it instantly. We all came here to Spencer's house, skipped school because I couldn't stop crying.
"Alison showed up almost immediately…
Flashback
Emily sat on the Hastings couch, Alison hovering above her. "Oh what are you crying for, it's not like you were outed to the entire town." She sneered.
"You were cheating on me." Emily whimpered unable to look at the girl.
Alison sighed and sat on the coffee table, grasping Emily's chin gently, forcing the girl to meet her eyes. She smiled softly, "Oh Hunny, I said that you were my girlfriend, not that I was yours. Did you honestly think that I'd be satisfied with just you? What good is an experiment if you haven't tried multiple samples, besides Jenna was at least giving it up."
Emily sat in shock as the girl stood to her feet, Spencer, Hanna and Aria all speeding down from the steps, "Really eavesdropping? I've taught you well, haven't I?"
"Get the fucked out of my house!" Spencer yelled.
Alison merely laughed, "Don't get your panties in a bunch; I'll be gone by tomorrow morning, new town, new faces awaiting me. It's about time really, I was getting bored here." She bent down and forcibly placed her lips onto Emily's. "Love you Hunny." She laughed as she walked out of the house.
End
"After that I just shut down, I put distance between everything that had to do with her, even me being gay. But Jenna was still there, and Jenna liked to rub it in my face so I started dating Ben, which was just insanity…, and then you showed up and I just couldn't deny it anymore." Emily chuckled softly.
Maya for her part was barely restraining herself from tracking down Alison and laying down one hell of a beating; just barely. 'How dare she hurt MY girl.' Her mind chanted over and over again until she was shaking with rage.
Emily reached out to her and when that didn't work she climbed atop of Maya's lap encasing the girl in her arms. Maya's arms wrapped securely around Emily's waist, pulling the girl impossibly closer as she rested her head to the side of Emily's neck. Emily shushed and cooed her till the shaking subsided. "Emily…I'd never…" she stumbled looking up to her girl's eyes.
Emily just smiled, "I know Maya, I know." For a moment they let the silence blanket them, Maya's forehead pressed to Emily's temple, short breathes brushing across her ear and neck. Emily shivered, goose bumps raising all around her body, and just like that the mood shifter.
Maya pulled back slowly, capturing Emily's eyes in a steady gaze. She swallowed as her hand cupped a delicate neck, and softly, so softly, pulled the girl's lips to her own. She was greeted with the familiar fullness of Emily's lips, pushing with delicious pressure and teasing with gentle tugs. She was slowly being driven mad, but what a wonderful torture it was.
Tilting her head to the side, Maya moved to taste more fully, her tongue reaching out and swiping the soft, wet plumpness of Emily's bottom lip. Emily whimpered before she could stop herself, and opened to Maya, her tongue eagerly meeting Maya's halfway. With each soft stroke and each devastating nip, the heat between them built into a scorching flame.
But it didn't build in speed, or haste, no this wasn't about devouring each other, this was about devotion; pure and simple. With a gentle ease Maya scooted Emily up till long legs wrapped around her abdomen, and without breaking the kiss, she maneuvered Emily onto her back on the down blanket. Then she eased herself down, nestling her hips to Emily's with nothing more than a gentle pressure.
She knew this moment was just too perfect to mess it up with lust, though she was feeling plenty of that. As she kissed Emily, so fully, so soundly that her heart thudded loudly in her chest, she felt her emotions swell to immeasurably heights. She could feel herself falling and she refused to reach out and stop herself.
Seconds, minutes, hours later, she really had no clue how long it's been. She just knew that her lips were bruised, her cheeks flushed and that Maya was kissing her and tracing delicate patterns into the skin of her ribs. Emily didn't care for much else.
With her hands tangled in soft curls and even softer lips seeking her own out time and time again, she felt as if she was flying. Maybe it was the lack of oxygen but even if she was about to suffocate, she wouldn't retracted her lips from Maya's.
She didn't care if a spark flew from the fire and burnt down the house, as far as she was concerned the spark that had ignited between her and this girl and already scorched her beyond repair.
And with that spark grew another and another, until they filled the air around them, within them until all she knew was the heat licking at her veins. Everything, her mind, her body, her soul was being filled with Maya and with every piece of the girl she took in a piece of Alison left, and a piece of herself found itself within Maya.
