CHAPTER 18
Emily felt a kick to her leg and looked over to her friend.
"What?"
Hanna rolled her eyes, "You're meant to be studying and all you're doing is staring at your girlfriend."
Emily shrugged, "Well, she's really nice to look at."
Aria giggled, "Cute."
Hanna shook her head, "Aren't you meant to finish that book by like Friday?" she poked the book Emily was reading, "You're barely halfway through."
"Since when are you so studious?" Emily shot back, sending a smile her girlfriends' way, across the cafeteria.
"Well, if you don't finish it you're going to bail on the sleepover Friday and that will suck," Hanna pouted.
"Oh yeah, that's true Em!" Aria chirped, looking up temporarily from her own book.
Emily sighed, "Okay, okay."
"Hey."
Emily grinned and stood up to kiss her girlfriend quickly.
"Oh, great," Hanna grumbled.
"Hey to you too, Hanna," Alison quirked an eyebrow, "Rude, much?"
"Whatever," Hanna shrugged, "I just want Em to stop staring at you so she can read her book."
Emily glared at her, "Hanna, shut up."
Alison grinned, "She can't help it," she chuckled, "I am irresistible."
Emily giggled, putting her hands on Ali's waist and kissed her neck lightly.
"But, in saying that," Alison pushed her away gently, "You really should be finishing that book."
Emily pouted, "But – "
Alison swatted her girlfriends' hands away, "No! You've been procrastinating all week, babe."
"Not my fault you walk around in those cute boxer shorts," Emily mumbled, "And it's definitely not my fault when I AM reading and then you start kissing my neck and touching – "
"Ew!" Hanna interrupted, "Too much information," she picked up her bag, "I'm going to meet Caleb. Can you please make sure she finishes that stupid book so we can have a sleepover Friday?" she asked Alison.
"Yeah, I'm gonna head off too," Aria closed her book and stood up.
Alison nodded, "Don't worry, I'll make sure."
Hanna grinned, "Good, see you guys."
Aria gave a little wave, still smiling at the cute couple.
"See you."
Alison sat down and poked Emily's side, "Read, you."
Emily sighed, "This book is sooooo boring," she said dramatically.
Alison rolled her eyes, "If you finish say…3 more chapters, I promise I'll make it worth your while," her breath tickled her girlfriends' ear.
Emily grinned, "Oh yeah?"
Alison laughed, "You are so predictable," she kissed Emily's cheek, "I'm going to go get us some coffee, you read."
"Ali, guess what?" Emily grabbed Alison around the waist and started nibbling on her neck.
Alison smirked and put her book face down on her bed, "What?" she asked innocently.
"I finished those three chapters," Emily murmured.
Alison spun around to face the brunette, "Did you really?"
Emily nodded, "Yep," she grinned proudly.
Alison laughed at her eagerness, "You are adorable," she whispered, kissing Emily's nose and giggling, "Now lay down."
Emily complied and lay on her back.
"Perfect," Alison hovered over her, "I like you like this."
Emily bit her lip, smiling up at her girlfriend.
Alison pulled her own top over her head and threw it aside.
Emily grinned, "You're wearing my favourite," she traced a finger over the material of Ali's deep red bra.
Alison smiled, "Sure am. I was going to take it off but I can keep it on if you really like it that much," she shrugged.
Emily giggled, "Um, no I think maybe you should take it off."
Alison chuckled, "You sure?"
Emily nodded, "Yes please," she watched Alison closely.
Alison moved slowly. She reached her hands behind her back and unfastened the clasp, holding the bra in her hands for a moment before letting it fall away from her body to expose her breasts.
Emily's eyes drank in the image before her as her hands lay on her girlfriends hips.
"You are so, so sexy," she grinned.
Alison laughed, pushing her hair behind her ear before bending down to capture her girlfriends' lips. She was quickly entranced into a dance with Emily's tongue. She could feel the brunette's warm breath through the kiss and feel her soft hands moving over her skin.
"Emily?"
Emily pulled away from Alison in a panic.
"Um, yeah?" she called as she threw Alison her clothes.
"Why is your mum home so early?" Alison hissed as she hurriedly threw on her clothes.
"I don't know," Emily grumbled, fixing her hair.
"I finished early, I thought maybe we could… oh, hi Alison," Pam said as she poked her head in, "What are you girls up to?"
Emily held up her book, "I'm trying to finish this book for English," she shrugged.
"You've been reading that for weeks," Pam quirked an eyebrow, "You're not usually a slow reader," her gaze flitted to Alison, "Maybe you would be better off studying alone for a while, hm?"
Emily bit her lip, "But Ali was helping!"
Alison shook her head behind Pam's back. You idiot, she mouthed.
"You don't need help reading, Emily," Pam rolled her eyes, "Why don't you read your book and then you can hang out with Alison and your friends?"
Emily sighed but gave in, "Fine," she said miserably, standing up to give her girlfriend a hug and whisper, "Sorry," into her ear.
Alison kissed her quickly and showed herself out.
Emily waited for her mum to leave her to it and frowned when she didn't.
"Is something wrong?" she asked, closing her book.
Pam's mum sat on the bed beside her daughter.
Emily panicked, "Mum, what is it? Is it dad?"
"No, no," Pam shook her head, "He's fine. I spoke with him this morning, he misses you."
Emily smiled, "I miss him too."
"It's just I saw your English homework the other day… you got a C+?" Pam looked concerned, "And now this book you're taking forever to read…"
Emily shrugged, "They've just picked crap books this year, that's all."
Pam hesitated, "I wonder if you're perhaps spending a little bit too much time with Alison."
Emily felt the panic re-enter her chest, "No!" she replied automatically, "I mean, she helps me study," she shrugged, "We help each other."
Pam smiled, "I just wonder if maybe you don't distract each other a little from your school work. Emily, it's senior year. You have a few months left, don't you think it's time to buckle down?"
Emily nibbled on her lip, "I can do both," she insisted, "I swear, I'll do better. I'll finish the book tonight and I'll do better on my homework – "
"Emily," Pam held up a hand, "I'm not trying to put pressure on you. I just… I know what you're like when Ali is around."
Emily blushed, "I'm not like anything," she mumbled.
Pam smiled, "It's not a bad thing exactly. It's nice," she explained, "I just don't see you spending as much time with the other girls or on your school work as you used to."
Emily sighed, "Isn't that what happens when you're in a relationship?"
"To a degree, sure," Pam agreed, "But school is just as important as it's ever been."
Emily nodded, "I know it is. I promise I'll do better with school."
"Yes, you will," Pam said firmly, "You're not seeing Alison until you've finished that book, okay?"
Emily shrugged, "Fine, fine. Can I get to it then?"
Alison lay on her back, clicking through her phone until she got bored and placed it down beside her. She stared at the ceiling. She knew she should have bought Emily to her place, her dad was never home anyway. Now she was all worked up and no girlfriend to play with.
Her phone beeped and she quickly picked it up, smiling when her girlfriends name popped up on the screen.
Sorry babe. Mum says I have to finish this book before I can see you again. She saw this bad mark I got in English and says you're too distracting. She's coming down kinda hard. Really, I prefer your method of motivation.
Alison frowned, typing quickly.
You didn't tell me about any bad mark, Em. Is everything okay? Am I too distracting? Like, seriously? I don't want to affect your school work, babe.
It's not your fault, Ali. I just prefer you to studying ;) anyway, I'm gonna read this stupid book so I can see you tomorrow.
Okay, babe, text me when you're done, okay? I don't care how late it is. I miss you already. Love you.
Alison made sure her phone was turned up as loud as it could go. Then she pulled her covers up and closed her eyes.
Emily rubbed her eyes as she put the book down. She grinned as she grabbed her phone. She hesitated, looking at the late hour. Ali had said she didn't care how late it was. She typed quickly.
Emily: I finished!
Ali: Thank god for that. I've been thinking about you all night.
Emily: Did I wake you? Sorry, it's so late. I just wanted to say goodnight.
Ali: Hey, whoa. You're not going anywhere.
Emily: Huh? You wanna chat a while? You know we have to be up in like 3 hours.
Ali: I know but you kinda left me high and dry earlier. You owe me.
Emily: I really don't think I should get caught sneaking out or sneaking you in tonight, babe. Sorry.
Ali: I know, I know. But can I tell you a secret?
Emily: Always.
Ali: Well, like I said I've been thinking about you all night. And touching myself.
Emily sat bolt upright in bed, her mouth suddenly dry.
Emily: Um. I don't know what I'm meant to say. But that's my job.
Ali: Yeah, well you weren't here, were you? It felt good. But not as good as when you do it.
Emily: Good to know.
Ali: Em… put your hand down your pants.
Emily: WHAT?
Ali: Oh my god, don't act so scandalised. I can't be with you physically… so we could try something new.
Emily: I don't know how…
Ali: Lol. You know how to touch yourself baby. Just tell me how it feels.
Emily: Um. It feels wet. And good. Really good.
Ali: Same here. I'm pretending my fingers are your fingers.
Emily: Ditto. I mean that mine are yours. And that I can feel your lips on my skin.
Ali: I'm lucky nobody's home. I'm kinda noisy.
Emily: Oh my god, Ali. I'm biting my lip so I'm NOT noisy. I think I'm gonna… you know.
Ali: Me too. I found that spot you always play with.
Emily: I can't breathe properly. I wish you were really here.
Ali: Me too, Em. I'm good, but you're better. Did you come?
Emily: Yes. Did you?
Ali: Yeah. I don't taste as good as you.
Emily: Bullshit, you taste way better, babe.
Ali: I love you. We should try and get some sleep before school. But um, text me if you can't sleep, okay?
Emily: Okay, Ali. I love you. Sweet dreams. xx
