Chapter 21 - Swim

6th Period

Emily was bored in history which was very rare since she loved history. It was that they had a sub and he seemed like he just wanted to make everyone miserable. He probably had a rough high school years. She inhale deeply, wishing that Maya had this class with her since she could easily entertain her and put a smile of her face. After lunch, she quickly forgave Maya in class since Maya sat right next to her at the table in anatomy to the back. She kept giving her the puppy dog face, whispering sweet words in her ear, sneaking quick pecks on the cheek during the video that they watched. Yea, it was hard to stay mad when those things were being done to her by her girlfriend. It was sweet and made her feel loved but then her mind changed and it was on her swim meet that she has tonight. She can feel her nerves racing just thinking about it as she looks at her book. Her phone buzzed, a smile immediately appears on her face as she knows exactly who is texting her. She looks at the sub before pulling out her phone to look at the text. Only one more class to go.

At least you look pretty when you're bored out of you mind :*

Eyebrows drawn together, she looks out the windows first before looking at the door to see Maya smiling at her. Another buzz,

Come on. Your sub won't miss you :)

Emily shakes her head before glancing at the sub who is on the computer doing nothing. One last buzz,

You know you want to, beautiful. Say you're goin to the library to complete your English paper.

Emily smiles before looking over at her and then at the sub before making her decision. She gets up and walks to him, waiting for him to acknowledge her before asking her question. He glances up, "Yea"

"Ummm… I was wondering if I can go to the library since I'm done with my reading. I have an English Paper that I'm trying to complete." She says hoping that she didn't sound nervous. He looks at her for a minute before nodding his head, he writes down a pass for her and gives it to her. "Thanks" she said sending a quick smile before walking out. She sees Maya acting impatient, tapping her foot repeatedly and looking at her imaginary watch on her wrist, "What My" Maya sends a smile,

"Nothing you were just taking too long" Emily shakes her head before Maya grabs her hand, leading them towards the gym and then to the locker room knowing no one will be there during this time. They walk in the locker room as Maya guides her over towards the bench. Maya straddles it and then waits for Emily to mimic her which she does but a little too far for Maya's liking. Maya's gives her the 'come here' finger wanting Emily closer which Emily smirks and then scoots closer to where her knees are brushing Maya's. Maya slowly glides her hands up Emily's thighs and then to the back of her knees, she gently pulls her closer and then places her legs on top of hers. Emily bites her lip when Maya's wraps her arms around her waist, still bringing her closer so that their lips are almost touching. "I missed you" Maya breathes before she places a soft kiss on Emily's lips. Emily pulls back and smiles at her.

"Uh huh. You just saw me not to long ago in class though so how can you miss me" Emily teases her. Causing Maya to smile.

"I'm just trying to get some." giggling Emily smacks Maya on the arm forcing a laugh to come out of Maya. "I'm kidding, it's not hard to miss seeing your face. But on a more serious note, are you ready for tonight?" Knowing that Emily may have calmed down last night but she always seem to get nervous as the time approaches.

"I guess" Emily shrugs while looking down.

"No" Emily looks up, "Don't do that. Talk to me, beautiful" So much warmth and love that she can't help but tell her.

"Not really. I'm-" Emily gets cut off by Maya.

"Amazing and I know you're going to do amazing tonight. Wanna know why" Emily smile and nods her head, " Well not only are you my girlfriend and my heart who I might add again that you are amazing and sexy" Emily giggles, "but because I've seen you swim and when you're in your zone, nobody can touch you in the water." Emily listen intently, "You swim with so much grace that people can't help but get jealous wishing that they had that much grace with them just walking period. Don't listen or worry about anything when you're in the water." Emily puts her head down and huffs,

"I know but it's hard. There is so much to focus on Shana, coaches, scouts, fans, my mom y-" Maya stops Emily by kissing her softly until she's relax enough to let go,

"Relax" Maya whispers against her lips, "you're the #1 swimmer for a reason and not just because you work hard but because you love it and it comes natural to you. Swimming is your thing and nobody can take that away from you. You own it, along with my heart." Emily blushes ducking her head down before Maya pulls her closer and Emily wraps around her neck, "Don't doubt that not even for a second." Maya moves to her ear, "And if you must, just listen to my voice and I'll guide you to first but I doubt you'll need me. I know you're gonna kill it as always. You just needed to hear a little bit of encouragement from me" Maya smiles and kisses her on the cheek. Emily continues to blush and then turns to give Maya an open mouth kiss, loving how Maya takes control of the kiss and takes her time with her. Drawing out soft moans from Emily's mouth and getting her aroused by just nibbling at the right time or sucking just enough to have Emily wanting more. Maya pulls back licking her lips and looking in Emily's eyes "and then after you win tonight, I promise that you'll…. well lets just say you're gonna love what I got in store for you" Maya smirks.

"Promise" Emily breathes. Maya slaps Emily on her ass and bite her bottom lip eliciting a groan from Emily. "God, I love you" Maya smiles.

"je te aime aussi (I love you too) and I promise you will, beautiful. Bells about to ring for class so let's go" Maya says trying to get up but Emily locks her legs around her waist preventing her from getting up so easy. Maya raises an eyebrow "Really?" Making Emily smirk.

"Try getting up now baby" Emily says teasing Maya and tilting her head to the side a little. Maya narrows her eyes and then stands up a little and then slowly placing Emily softly on her back on the bench. Maya bites her lip causing Emily's attention to go there and not realizing until, "hahahhhhhaaaa MY! MY! STOP OK OKOOKOKKKKKKKKK hahahahah!" As Maya tickles her, she unhook her legs around Maya and tries to get her off her.

"Ahhhhh come on baby. I don't wanna get up now. hahahah" Maya says laughing but then quickly gets up after she stops tickling her. "But since you insisted" She starts walking to the door chuckling but as soon as she gets there she feels arms wrapped around her waist and soft lips kissing her on her neck. "Mmmmmm em" Closing her eyes and tilting her head a little for Emily to have better access.

"I know my but I can't help myself" Emily says in Maya's neck while tightening her arms around Maya, pulling her closer to her.

The bell goes off. Damnit!

They both hear the bell but neither wanting to move. Sighing softly, Emily detaches herself from Maya and steps back a little. Tilting her head, she checks out Maya ass and bites her lip. "You like what you see back there, beautiful?" Maya says startling Emily and laughing a little once she sees the blush appear on her face. "Soooo, busted baby but it's ok. I get like that too when checking you out? It happens. Later babe!" Emily smiles but before Maya walks out the door, she turns around and gives her one last kiss. "I can't wait to see you kill it, like always. Don't worry about nothing. You're going to do amazing because you're just swimming and you've been doing this for years. Just think of it as another match, ok?" Emily nods her head.

"Thanks Maya" Giving Maya one more kiss and then walking out the door to their lockers holding hands.

The Meet

The girls walk up in the stands, getting ready to cheer Emily on. THey see Mrs. Fields and wave to her while she comes over. "Does she know" Spencer ask Maya who shakes her head no. They all nod and make sure they don't say anything to Mrs. Fields about Emily dating Maya. "Hey Mrs. Field" Spencer says with a smile.

"Hey Spencer, hey girls! Ready to cheer her on." Mrs. Fields says with a smile. They all nod their heads, "Oh and Maya." Maya turns her head towards Pam to let her know that she was listening, "Emily won't be able to spend the night" Maya's eyebrows raise but nods her head. "Emmy's dad is here" They all look towards the door and see the one and only Wayne Fields, well Lieutenant Colonel Fields. They all jump up to give him a hug, extremely excited that he was here.

"Wow I didn't think you guys were going to miss me more than Emily missing me" He laughed, they all smile at him. "Everyone is doing well" They all nod and sit down, "Good. We'll be back" He says while they walk over to Emily from behind and picks her up. They watched Emily's reaction go from mad to shock to excitement seeing that it was her dad. She jumped on him to give him a big hug. Hannah looks at the door and her eyes light up once she sees Marcel,

"OMG! you didn't tell me Marcel was coming" Making aria and Spencer whip their heads as well to look at him. "Do I look ok?" Hannah says trying to pat her hair. Maya frowns,

"Stop it." Hannah smiles at her while she rolls her eyes, "I'm pretty sure he has a girlfriend since he was on the phone when I came home talking about I miss you too" Hannah now frowns while Maya pats her back, "It's ok. It's all going to be ok"Hannah pushes her as they laugh at her.

"It's not her fault tho My, You're brother is really hot." Spencer says still looking while the St. Germains come over.

"Cut it Spence. You have Toby and Aria you have Jake" Maya says looking at them pointedly before turning to Hannah, "And you have Travis, Missy" She pokes Hannah in the stomach.

"I know" Aria says but still looking at him.

"Just because I have Travis doesn't mean that I can't look. I don't have a ring on my finger and I'm not dead or blind either." Hannah says grinning once Marcel sees them and winks at them. "Too sexy" as Spencer and aria blush at the wink. Maya shakes her head with a smile at her friends. She looks up to see Emily's disappointed face and she gives her a shrug and a smile to ease away the disappointment.

"Well Hello beautiful ladies" Marcel with his charming smile, "You guys ready to lose your voices?" Maya just shook her head as Hannah, Spencer, and Aria just continued to be charmed by her brother. All of a second, she felt a buzz and immediately froze causing Marcel to notice it. She looked at him and then took out her phone and sees an unknown number. She looks at him and nods, signaling it was from who he thought it was. He clenched his jaw for a second before masking his features, "excuse me for a second ladies" before getting up like he was answering a call. Mama G looked at her, her phone vibrated and she nodded her head to the text speaking to Mr. T in French letting him know what was happening. Although, he smiled Maya knew that he was not happy. Marcel came back, "What did I miss besides you guys" smiling at the girls making them blush. Maya shook her head, yea everything was going to be ok as long as she had her girl, family and friends beside. Maya turns her head and look at Emily who signals her to leave for the locker room.

Nodding she gets up, "be back" As she walks out of the gym, around and to the locker room to meet up with Emily. She opens the door to see her baby looking at her, "What's up buttercup?" She smiles even though she knows Emily is not the happiest right now.

"Do you think your parents will let you spend the night?" Emily asks hoping they would but knows probably not. Maya looks away, trying to figure out a way to brighten up Emily's mood without lying to her.

"Ummmm I don't know, baby" Maya says shrugging her shoulders. Instantly seeing Emily pout, "but you never know." Walking to her quickly, "although it is possible since they believe you're a good influence on me and all, but if they only knew," wrapping her arms around her waist, "that you're actually the one trying to get in my pants. I think they would think differently about you" earning a smile from Emily that transformed into a giggle.

"It's not my fault that you're sexy" Emily says wrapping her arms around Maya's neck, "and know just what to do to make me want more" she kisses her, feeling Maya bring her in closer before she took control of the kiss. After a minute, they both pulled away with their foreheads resting against each other's trying to control their breathing.

"I know...I'm about to ruin this…. But it needs to be done" Maya pulled back to look Emily in her eyes. "Ummmm when did you want to tell your parents" surprising Emily a little but then making her smile.

"Whenever you want to. We can do it now if you want" Emily says kissing her again.

"Uhhhh...How about tomorrow? Since your dad is here an-" Maya says getting a little nervous. Emily shakes her head.

"No, tonight. The sooner, the better" Emily smiles making Maya smile too.

"Ok. But just to let you know. I'm pretty sure Pam is gong to make sure there are no more sleepovers" Maya says making her hands up Emily's sides to her arms then to her hands to unlock them from around her neck. Emily pouts. I forgot about that. "It's ok. It's for the best since we're waiting" Emily glares at Maya who smiles and kisses her hands. "Just a little while longer"

"But what about my reward for winning" Emily exclaims while Maya turns her around towards the door.

"You haven't won yet. So maybe you should get on that baby" Maya replies while tapping her lightly on the ass. "And you have to win every race you're in so you better kill it"

"We'll see" Emily mumbles walking to the door.

"And beautiful" Emily turns before she walks out the door. "I love you" Maya blows her a kiss before leaving but not before she sees a grin on Emily's face letting her know she loves her too. Maya walks back to her family and friends, ready to see Emily swim. She sits back down on the bleachers and catches Emily's eye. She winks at her.

Hannah turns to Maya, "how is she" breaking Maya's gaze on Emily.

"She's good." Maya says with confidence and gives Hannah a smile which she returns.

Final race

One more race. Just one more but this one is the one she was worried most about. She's won all of her other races but now is the 400 meter freestyle where she has to compete against one of the best at her rival school and McCullers. All her friends and family has been cheering her on the whole time but the only voice she heard was her girlfriend. Encouraging and pushing her to first. The UCLA scout was here and she was desperately hoping she was impressing her. She just needed to win this one race and she knew without a doubt she was in but she was still nervous. During the season, she lost to her rival, Shana Fring, twice and definitely didn't want a repeat of that. Shana was a fierce competitor but was a friend, thanks to Maya. Maya and Shana met at a club and put the rivalry aside since maya didn't swim to become friends. It took Emily and Shana a little longer since they competed against each other. She looks up to see Shana getting herself in the zone before looking around the gym.

Emily goes back to listening to "Ain't worried about nothin" by French Montana that helps her gain confidence before her matches. She takes out her ear plugs once they announce for the swimmers to start getting on their blocks. She locks eyes with Maya who gives her a big smile and a wink before screaming loudly for her to "Kill it". She takes off her jacket and rolls her shoulders, doing her rituals to get herself to relax once more. She gets on her block and stretches her neck before getting in her stance. To her right is Paige and to her left is Shana. She tunes everyone out except Maya's voice. "Take a deep breath" She does "Let go" she does "All Day Em! All Day!" She smiles and closes her eyes to listen to the announcer say

"Swimmers, take your marks…..Get set"

POW!

Emily shoots off her block like a bullet and into the water. She swims as long as she can underwater and then comes up a little ahead of Paige but is neck and neck with Shana. Now 300 meters left and Emily knows everyone is cheering but she's in the zone. 200 meters left and Paige is trying to break even but can't since Emily and Shana are picking up their speed as well. Just 150 meters left, Emily hears Maya's voice encouraging her to keep going and that she's doing great. She keeps trucking right along with Shana. Only 100 meters left and Shana pulls a little away from Emily. Emily can feel it but she keeps going. 50 meters left and she hears what she needs to hear, her voice "SWIM EM!" Emily pushes harder and is tied with Shana and Paige closely behind. Everyone is on their feet cheering and wanting to see who is going to touch the wall first. She reaches just as Shana does to the wall and everything feels like it's in slow motion. Both slowly reaching and then she feels the wall beneath her hand. She pulls her head out of the water trying to catch her breath and then she finally looks at the board. Her name is first closely followed by Shana and Paige. She closes her eyes and smiles knowing she just won but also broke a high school record. She hears "good Job' from Shana and turns to congratulate her as well. She turns to Paige who is pulling herself out of the water pissed. Emily then lifts herself up and looks at her friends who are going crazy for her, knowing that she just broke a record. She locks eyes on Maya again and receives a wink and a kiss that she blows her way. Emily smiles wide and blows kisses their way but they know it's mostly meant for Maya.
