Emily
We were at this fashionable night club, we passed the queue and got in without a problem. It was a different kind of club I was used to. Darker, cleaner and not so busy. We went to Aria's gallery before this, Paige couldn't make it in time so she asked if we wanted to celebrate somewhere else. Her friends came to, she admitted that Aria's succes was just an excuse for me to meet her friends and for her to get mine friends real approval. Since we both just landed in each others life it's more important than before to fit in the other person routines. "McCullers! Nice to see you again!" "Yes you too! It's been a while." Apparently Paige and the bartender used to meet here quiet a lot,so free shots all night long well I'm not complaining. We had our own place in the VIP section, when I looked around the club it really felt like a club where known people could just go to and relax. "I don't really go out much just this place. It's I guess the official place to go to for us when I want to celebrate a new accomplishment." "Paige! Hey!" This tall blond ran into Paiges arms as soon she finished her sentence. "So this must be your lovely wife?" I shook this girl, Madison, her hand. "She's on Team USA with me and also from here." She glanced at Paige and briefly at me while still shaking my hand. "It's nice to meet you, Emily." It seemed she tried not to laugh. "Right back at you." I said, happy in this moment for having my right hand occupied because I really feel like hitting her head like a piñata. "So great to see you all here!" I heard Paige say as more swimmers made their way to us for a casual conversation. Paige's hand rested on my lower back the entire time, I really was thankful for that. Madison eyed me from time to time she finally spoke up and asked me about my job . "I'm a sportscoach. I provide expert training to athletes to help them reach their goal." I explained while narrowing my eyes. "You must have known Paige than and I assume you must have reconigzed me from the news? I pop up every now and than." I just politley smiled still cautious of this woman. As she speaks to Paige my mind plays tricks on me I only hear things like "She must be desperate for applying to this thing, and you Paige you could've had anyone you wanted. Now you introduced her to us, better watch out she might want money or fame." She kept looking at me like I'm a thief, I can't hear a word she's saying which encourages my mind more to continue with it's own version of the conversation. I made my way out of the group to my friends who catched my eye at the right time on the dancefloor.
Paige
The sweet smell of Emily's perfume was still in my nose as I watched her dancing with her friends and some of mine. "Drinks are on me, what will it be everyone?" I politely declined the free drink Madison was offering. "Come on Paige there's no meet in the next few weeks we can drink what will it be?" "Okay. But since I've been buying drinks before you guys came besides the shots, it's unfair not to pay for everyone's drinks." I made my way down with a plate full of various drinks. "Madison's treat." I said and winked to Emily. "So you guys met at work?" I directed my question to Spencer and Toby. I hadn't got the chance to speak to Toby at the wedding, I did had a few moments with Spencer. Her facial expression still fresh in my head from when I introduced myself to the front row two weeks ago. "His work actually, he was building some of my sisters furniture and now he's building me a house." "Our house." Toby said. I looked at Emily, she had a warm smile on her face. A smile that shows how happy she is for her friend, to me it's also a dreamy smile. The kind of smile I've seen appear whenever I drop something about the future. "Toby is really good." I picked up Emilys dreamy tone, and took a mental note to check out his self built furniture in the future. "He is. He surpassed ten other candidates to win over the Hastings." Spencer said looking crazy in love at Toby, he looks at his girlfriend as she's the only girl he has ever seen on the planet. It's beautiful. I see all kind of couples around us, Hanna and Caleb doing a thing that's I assume meant to be sexy dancing and Aria bickering about something with Ezra. I looked at Emily, and I know I got very lucky in more ways than one. As we laughed and danced I got to know her friends better, I feel so relieved I was really scared of being uncomfterable around her friends. I got the feeling they treated me as it was normal for me to be there as I was with their friend for a while already.
"I'm happy I could make a second first impression tonight. Hoping this time it was better, fingers crossed." I laughed as we were in the cab on our way home. "From what I heard your first impression wasn't one to forget." She laughed. "I'll never forget the first time I saw you." Her tone was sincere, she accented her words by placing her right hand on my left hand which rested on my left leg. "I hope you never forget, how bad would it be if you forget you're married?" I joked. I knew she meant it differently but she can't blame my answer I had way more to drink than her.
Emily
"What?" A flustered McCullers was looking at me. "I wonder, as a former swimmer and as a sportscoach have you ever heard of me?" I had to laugh. "Well I've heard your name before but couldn't put a face to it. When I'll hear your name or see your face now I'll scream proudly 'Ladies and gentleman that's my wife!' Only if you get a medal of course." She nudged me in the side, her eyebrows rose. I looked at her the same way trying to find out what's she thinking only Paige seemed to have a plan. "STOP PAIGE STOP!" She tickled me everywhere, figuering out where I have tickles. I sprinted out of the cab as soon it stood still, having slightly an advantage on Paige who's paying the driver, I heard her stumble on the stairs when the door finally shot open. I heard her saying goodbyes from the hallway, I totally forgot about Ezra and Aria. Paige walked in and closed the door. "Emily?" It wasn't a playful voice, more a tired drunk one. Well my tired drunk brain wanted to play. I hid behind the bedroom door patiently waiting for Paige to enter, when she did I hit her with a pillow starting the most epic pillowfight of the century.
We were laying on the bed, tired and spent. There was a moment of silence, I turned my head for a moment. I saw her chest going up and down calmy, she fell a sleep. It was such a cute sight I had to take a picture. My heart was swimming with joy. I decided to use her chest as a pillow, not bothered to get changed for bed or to pick up our pillows from across the room. Paradise.
