Chapter 35 - Appreciate pt 1
"Sooooo, where's My?" Hannah asks while in class awaiting for Mr. Hayes to call out the names to see who is partnered with who. Emily pouts still not too happy that she hasn't seen Maya yet.
"Home" Emily groans as Hannah turns her head towards Emily with a look of envy, "Her parents said she could stay home today since they got in late last night." Emily says with a little pout on her face. "I really wanted to see her yesterday too".
"That lucky bitch" Hannah said taking out her phone texting Maya saying that she should be here. "Did she get her car yet?" Emily nods as Mr. Fitz call out her name,
"Emily Fields" She looks up at him as he pulls out another name out the hat, "...you are paired up with" He reads the name while raising his eyebrows, "Umm Paige McCullers" No fucking way! Emily's mouth drops as Hannah chokes back a laugh along with Spencer. Aria gives her look of sympathy. "Emily and Paige will be partners on this assignment" Please tell me this is a joke! Emily clenches and unclenches her jaw, "One of you move"
"I'll pray for you" Hannah says putting her hands together while closing her eyes. Spencer and Aria giggle at her. Emily stands up with tongue in cheek and then slaps Hannah on the back of her with her notebook, "Owww bitch"
"Ms. Marin!" Hannah looks at Mr. Fitz with big eyes mouthing 'sorry'. He shakes his head at her, "You will be partnered with, "... with Jenna Marshall" Hannah mouth drops causing Emily to laugh out loud while making her way over to Paige. "Hannah and Jenna partner up" Emily sits down next to Paige with a wide smile on her face looking at Hannah. Hannah flicks her off and she laughs again, "Ms. Fields… quiet down please" Emily places her hand over her mouth still giggling but nodding her head at Mr. Fitz.
"Emily" Emily looks over at Paige with a smile still on her face and Paige just looks at her weird causing Emily's eyebrows to furrow. Didn't she say my name? Emily looks away to see Jenna rolling her eyes at Hannah as Hannah points her fingers to her temple as if it's a gun and mouths to Emily 'shoot me'. Emily giggles, "Emily" She looks at Paige again, "look do you want to call a truce so we can work on our project and get a good grade" Emily thinks about it and then nods her head. Paige hold out her hand and Emily looks at it before looking at Paige. Paige rolls her eyes and then Emily shakes her hand. "cool" They both let go. "What subject do you want to research that you feel is important?" Emily thinks about it for a second. "Please don't say the LGBT" Emily frowns at her.
"No I was thinking more along the lines of collegiate athletes getting paid or not" Emily suggested while taking out her phone to text Maya letting her know that she was paired up with Paige. Paige nodded and then raised her hand,
"Hold on Paige… and Caleb that leaves you with Maya who isn't here today." Caleb did a fist pump while grinning and got his phone out to text Maya to let her know. "Yes Paige?"
"So all we have to do is a subject that we ar interested in, research, paper and then present it in class correct?" Mr. Fitz nodded, "Can we it on collegiate athletes getting paid or not?"
"Ummm yes. Nobody else can do that subject since it is first come first serve" Noel groans,
"Unfair! I wanted to do that subject" Noel said as Mr. Fitz just shrugs his shoulders,
"Not in this class" The class giggled, "So, you guys have by tomorrow to give me your subject that you want to research." The bell rang, "I'll see everyone tomorrow". Emily exchanged numbers with Paige before leaving,
"Ummm do you want to meet up after school?" Paige asks. Damnit. Emily pouts and then nods her head,
"yea that's fine. Where?" Emily asks while getting her stuff and standing up. She holds a finger up at her friends and then looks back at Paige.
"Library or your house?" Paige asks standing up as well. Emily notices Paige's laptop that is with her,
"My house since you have your laptop with you. I have mine at home and we could go over things then." Paige nods,
"Say around 4:30" Emily nods and then flashes a quick smile,
"See you then" Emily walks away to Hannah as Aria and Spencer stay behind to talk about the project. They'll meet each other at lunch. Emily and Hannah go to their locker first to exchange their books for their lunches and then closes their lockers.
"Soo, again, did My get her car" Hannah asks. Emily nods and then starts walking towards the cafe with Hannah.
"Yea they picked it up last night. Maya texted me when they got it so I wouldn't freak out if I didn't see it in the driveway this morning." As they walk into the cafe, "I still can't believe I got paired up with Paige in English" Emily shakes her head as she sits at the table.
"Me neither and I got Jenna. Didn't see that one coming" Hannah says in disbelief at what happened, "It was like it was our destiny for us to get paired with them" Hannah says with a smile making Emily give her a 'really' look. "I'm just sayin" Hannah shrugs her shoulders and then giggles while Emily just shook her head taking a bite of her salad. "At least you guys made a truce with each other" Emily nodded while continuing to eat her salad. "But we'll see how long that lasts. I have money on you that you'll be the last one standing" Emily laughed with Hannah bumping shoulders with her. Aria and Spencer walk up with huge smiles on their faces making Emily and Hannah frown confused at why they are smiling. Well mostly at Aria, since she got stuck with Noel and Spencer got Andrew who is really smart.
"Guess who's here?" Spencer asks smiling at Emily. Emily shrugs shoulders.
"You are" Hannah says as if it's the most obvious thing making Emily laugh. Spencer rolls her eyes and then points to the side for Hannah and Emily to look. They both turn to see someone walking closer to their table,
"MAYA!" Emily says surprised. She stands up goes to Maya quickly, giving her a hug. "I've missed you" Maya giggles and then kisses her cheek,
"I've missed you too." She pulls her closes, "you smell good too" stop it. "and feel good too" Emily leans back,
"Baby not he-" Maya nods and then let's go,
"I know" She grabs her hand, "Skip with me?" Emily frowns and then shakes her head. My mom would kill me if I did. "Please?" But its Maya, "It'll be worth your while" What is she up to? Emily nods her head,
"Ok" Maya smiles giving her a quick peck before walking towards their friends with Emily beside her. Hannah stands up giving her a hug and then Spencer and Aria as well.
"Aww I missed you guys!" Maya says sitting besides Emily, "How was everyone's Thanksgiving?" They chat for the rest of lunch before it ended, "Well this was a nice reunion but I'm stealing Emily"
"Oooh take me with you!" Hannah says clearly not wanting to be in school longer.
"You want me to take you home?" Maya asks clearly not wanting to do it. Hannah nods her head. Maya purses her lips before looking away to see Caleb almost leaving. She holds up a finger before running after Caleb.
"What's going on?" Hannah asks trying to figure out what Maya is up to. Emily shrugs her shoulders, as she watches Caleb nod and then walk with Maya over to them. "Babe?" He pulls her close and then whispers in her ear what Emily could tell is good, "Ok see you tomorrow EM" She says quickly while dragging him away as he grins at them and then gives Maya a salute. Maya shakes her head and then grabs Emily's hand,
"Ready baby?" Emily nods,
"Where are we going?" Maya shrugs as if to say I don't know. Emily just goes along with it as Maya leads her to her car.
About 15 minutes later, Maya pulls up to her house and then parks the car. "Babe" Maya looks over at her, "What are you up to?" Emily asks narrowing her eyes and a light smile playing on her lips. Maya grins and then leans over to kiss her.
"I just wanna spend some time with my baby. I haven't seen you in a week" she kisses her. "No touching" another kiss, "no cuddling", and another, "no kisses", one more, "no nothing" she nips at Emily lip causing Emily to grin. "But I also wanna show you how much I appreciate you" Emily frowns a little bit, "for putting up with me with lying to you when I should've told you the truth" Emily opens her mouth but Maya places a finger on her lips before she can something, "No no. I should've and I'm so thankful that you forgave me. Putting up with me all these years from my brother leaving for college to my grandmother dying"
Flashback Sophomore Year*
Emily heard what happened and her heart broke for Maya. Maya was extremely close to her grandmother on her mother's side and to hear that she passed away hurt her to her core. Maya's grandmother suffered a stroke only about two weeks ago and it looked like she may pull through since Maya spoke so proudly of her grandmother saying she was such a strong woman. Now to hear she passed a few days ago, she knew Maya was devastated by the news especially since her family was going to see her for the 4th of July. Even though, Emily and Maya haven't been on the best terms. Because of Clare! Emily had to be there for Maya just like Maya was there for her. It was her turn to be a best friend to her. Clare be damned! She ran all the way to Maya's house not once stopping to take a break. She finally made it and knocked on the door. Please be home Maya. Emily bounces on the toes waiting for the door to open. A minute passed and nothing. She knocks harder this time, hoping that someone answers the door. "come on" Emily whispers. The door opens and Mama G appears with a smile on her face.
"Emmy, I haven't seen you in a while" Mama G held her arms out and Emily quickly went into them. Holding her tightly before pulling away.
"I know. I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again" Emily shakes her head while flashing a smile. Mama G chuckles,
"You better not." Smiling as she says it, "Now, go cheer up our girl please, sweetie" Emily nods her head.
"Will you be alright" Mama G nods and then shoos her up the stairs. Mr. T comes over to his wife and places a soft kiss on her head while bring her close to comfort him. Emily smiles and then races up the steps. She knocks on the door,
"Go Away!" Maya says with sounds of defeat. Emily takes a deep breath to steady herself before turning the door handle. Locked! Damnit! She didn't want to but she bangs on the door again, "Leave me alone!" She bangs again and knows that Maya would eventually come to door to kill her. "Ughhhh!" Here it comes. The door swing open and Emily thought Maya looked gorgeous how she was. Her sweats hanging down low on her hips, her hair curly, her eyes glistening but expression the anger that is burning in them. "What do-" Emily didn't want to hear the rest all she did was hug her close. Maya froze for a second, confused with why Emily was here when they fought earlier yesterday. Hell, Emily was hugging her now when she barely even spoke to her today. "Let go Emi-"
"No." Maya frowns trying to push Emily off but Emily just held tighter. "I'm stronger than you" Maya rolls her eyes, annoyed that Emily is doing this.
"Emily I sa-"
"I don't care about that right now. I just want to hold you and tell you that it's going to be ok. And you can cry on my shoulder or we can cry together" Emily walks forward causing Maya to walk backwards so she doesn't fall with Emily on top.
"It's not ok, Em. Things won't be better just because you're here" Emily walks to the bed and leans so that Maya lies on the bed, "ughhh" She scoots back on the bed with Emily still holding her, "You're being ridiculous right now. You know that?" Emily nods her head and wraps a leg around Maya. Maya takes a deep breath, "Stubborn ass" Maya wraps her arms around Emily burying her face into the crook of Emily's neck.
"I know" Emily shifts so that they are both comfortable and holding each other. Maya eyes water again, "It's going to be ok. I'm gonna be here for you every step of the way. I promise I'm not going anywhere" Maya bites her lips not wanting to cry but she can't help it. She starts crying in Emily's arms as Emily comforts her, "I promise things will get better"
"I know but I just miss her. She was so strong. We were going to see her this summer. " Maya says trying to control her breathing.
"I know My but it was her time. I know she was strong. Wanna know how?" She lifts Maya face up so she can look her in the eyes. Maya rolls her eyes and then nods, "Because of you. You're just like her and you are possibly the most strongest person I have ever met" Maya snorts back a smile, "I mean I have never seen someone get knocked out before and you knocked them out and it was a guy too" Maya laughed causing Emily to smile, "You're grandmother is proud of you and would want you to continue to live and achieve your dreams." Maya smiles and then looks down,
"I don't wanna let her down? She looks up and Emily sees the fear in her eyes.
"You won't. I won't let you" Maya smiles and kisses Emily on the cheek,
"Thanks beautiful"
"Welcome My. Now lets sleep because Lord knows you need your beauty sleep with how you look right now" Emily says causing Maya to laugh,
"Uhhh Rude" Maya pokes Emily in the side while they both laugh.
Flashback end*
"to Lyndon crazy ass and the other exes" Emily giggles, Maya smiles, "now let me show you how much you mean to me and how much I appreciate you and so thankful that you're mine, k" Emily smiles while nodding her head and Maya nuzzles her nose against hers causing Emily to laugh. "Bon, viennent maintenant sur" (Good come on) Maya opens her door.
"Where are your parents?" Emily asks tilting her head. Maya grins and then gets out the car. Emily quickly follows suit. "Baby?" she closes the door and runs to catch up with Maya who is now opening the front door. Maya puts a hand on her back gently pushing her inside. She closes and locks the door and then sets the alarm. "My, you're not gonna answer" as Maya walks past her.
"Ils ne sont pas ici, belle" (They're not here beautiful) Maya responds while walking to the basement. Emily watches her a second suspiciously before following after her. Halfway down the stairs Emily stops and noticed that Maya decorate it. The rose petals placed in a heart on the floor, the candles burning and they smell good but Emily looked closely and noticed they were actually fake.
"Good thing you went with fake candles. Wouldn't want you to burn the house down" Emily teases causing Maya to laugh. There was red and white silk curtains hanging around the room. One in particular was over the light to make the room have a red tint. The black sheets on the bed and a tray of strawberries and whip cream to eat on the side. Emily smiles excited to see what exactly is Maya going to do to show her appreciation.
Once Maya is down on the floor she then pulls off her sweater revealing a black lace corset that stops at her waist. Emily eyes pop and she freezes on the steps for a second. Maya glances over her shoulder, her smile turning wicked and then throws a wink at her before walking more into the basement. Emily runs down the rest of the way on the stairs and then quickly pulls off her sweater. Maya kicks off her shoes and Emily mimics her. Maya turns around to face her before unbuttoning her jeans slowly before turning to the side and then slowly slides them down. Emily stops breathing for a second before quickly putting her hands to get jeans to take them off but she fumbles with them for a second. Fuck. Emily looks down to figure out what the problem is before getting them off. Maya has her hands behind her back like she has something in them and then walks towards her checking her out in the process and licking her lips. She stops in front of Emily and takes her hands from behind her back to reveal a red scarf in her hands. "I'm happy this is gonna match what you have on. Is that the one I bought for you from Victoria Secret?" Thank God I decided to wear this today. Emily nods as Maya puts the scarf around her neck. "Early Christmas present for you. Vous aimez?" (Do you like it) Emily nods still too stunned to speak, Maya pulls her closer by the scarf. "Dance with me" as Emily suddenly hears Dru Hill 'Share my world' comes through the speakers Maya set up. Maya sways while Emily wraps her arms around her waist. "Won't you come share my world" she sings to Emily so softly while looking into her eyes with such intensity that Emily can't look away. They softly rock side to side as Maya continues to sing to her and Emily caresses Maya's backside and back not getting enough of how soft she feels. The song ends with Maya pulling Emily down to her lips so she can kiss them while walking backwards towards the bed she has set up. Maya feels the bed behind her and stops kissing Emily causing her to pout.
She smiles and puts both ends of the scarf in one hand as she sits down and then she scoots back on the bed careful not to hit the platter of strawberries while pulling Emily. Emily crawls on the bed following Maya's lead. Maya stops moving, "Sit on my lap baby" Emily does wrapping her legs around Maya's torso. Maya let's go of the scarf moves the platter closer. She dips a strawberry in whip cream and places on Emily lips. Emily smiles before opening her mouth and taking a bite of it. "Bonne" (Good) Emily's tongue comes out to make sure there isn't any whip cream left on her lips. "Baiser" (Fuck) Maya says watching Emily do that and think how sexy she may that simple thing look. Emily takes one and holds up for Maya to take a bite. Maya licks a little of the whip cream making Emily's pupils to dilate at the sight before opening her mouth slowly taking a bite of the strawberry. Maya chews slowly still looking at Emily before licking her lips not only making sure none is left but also to tease slightly. The sexual tension rises as they continue this game along with the anticipation of what is to come soon. Maya gives Emily one more but this one was juicy as Emily but into it and the juice trailed down in the side of her mouth. Shit I'm a messy ea-. Maya leans in to lick the excessive juice from Emily's chin. Emily connects eyes with Maya, watching her lick up to the side of her mouth. Emily turns her head as soon as Maya's tongue touches the corner of her lips and captures her lips with hers. Maya tosses the end of the strawberry on the tray before pulling Emily closer by her ass. Emily's hands quickly go into Maya's hair slanting her head so she can kiss her deeper. Maya opens her mouth and Emily sneaks her tongue as one of her hands leave Emily's hip to go her cheek. Emily pulls back to breath while looking into Maya's eyes, "Je t'aime" (I love you) Maya says softly rubbing Emily's cheek with her thumb. Maya bites her lip, smiling softly at Emily before pulling her hand away from Emily cheek to wrap around her waist and her other hand to steady as she maneuvers to the side and turn to place Emily on her back never breaking eye contact. Emily's hands leave Maya's hair and place them on her breasts making her groan.
"Je t'aime trop, My" (I love you too, My) Emily whispers before connecting their lips again slowly before sucking on Maya's bottom lip and then biting it before pulling away with Maya humming. She trails soft kisses down to Emily's neck, she lightly sucks on her rolling her hips into Emily's. Emily scratches Maya's back lightly making her shiver and suck hard on her neck causing Emily to moan loud. She leaves a mark on Emily's neck while bring her hand to Emily's breast and her lips back to Emily's as well . She squeezes it make Emily arch her back and Maya closes her mouth on Emily's bottom lip. She squeezes it one more time and then snakes her hand under her back to unsnap her bra. Maya pulls Emily's bra off slowly and at the same time she releases Emily's bottom lip from her mouth. Maya sits up smiling at Emily as she pulls the scarf off from around her neck and then brushes the end of it against Emily's nipple watching as it gets hard at the soft touch. Emily pushes her breast up higher to get Maya to touch them but it doesn't work as Maya still uses the scarf to touch her.
"My" Maya licks her lips before fixing her eyes into Emily's making her inhale sharply at the intensity behind them.
"Can I tie your hands to the bed, beautiful?" Emily's eyes grow big and her throat goes dry. Really? Maya raises her eyebrows waiting to see if Emily is going to let her, "C'est à vous" (It's up to you) Emily licks her lips. Appreciate me huh?
