Emily stood up as she watched Lucas surf. He was the last person to surf in the competition. He was doing such an amazing job. He by far was having the best run of the day, but all the Playa Linda guys knew that there was a huge chance they were going to loose. Bradin and Lucky had the top scores as of now, but they still needed 8.5 points to tie the St. Seb's team and Lucas' run wasn't a guarantee 8.5. Lucas did all his moves with extreme precision and grace. He ended his run with a perfect 360. All the Playa Linda guys cheer and Emily let a smile spread across her face as she sat back down. Then came the wait for the score. It seemed like the whole beach was holding their breath. Then the score came up. 8.5, the teams had tied. Emily stood to go congratulate Lucas, but Brittany grabbed her shoulder
"Wait till you see our team before you go run off to your boyfriend. Plus, you need to give Greg his jacket back" she muttered angrily
"Fine" she responded as she shot Lucas an I'm trying look. He nodded. The boys walked over with an angry look on their faces.
"We're Leaving" Chris said. Brittany nodded as she gave him his jacket back. Greg walked over to Emily.
"You did really well today" she said as she handed him back his jacket.
"Thanks Em" he hugged his best friend
Emily sighed; she knew he was upset about loosing. "Hey, don't worry about it, you'll win next time" He nodded and walked toward the rest of the team. Emily hesitated, then turned and walked toward Lucas. He managed to get away from everyone and walked over to her. She smiled. He picked her up and spun her around before kissing her. She laughed as he put her down
"You were AMAZING!" she said in between kisses.
"Thanks, you don't look to bad yourself" he said as he dived in for a kiss. She laughed. In the background, someone yelled her name and another yelled his, but they didn't hear it, they were to into them.
It was late that night; Emily had gone with Lucas to the team party, she actually found she liked the Playa Linda kids much better than the St. Seb's kids. She felt at home with them, of course Lucas didn't let her out of his sight, and she pretty much stayed glued to his hip, but she didn't care. After all, she loved him.
"Wanna go for a walk on the beach?" he asked her. She nodded and the two walked toward the beach. "We need to talk about something" he said finally. Emily stopped short. "No, not like that Em, well, maybe kinda like that…"
"What did you hear that I need to explain" she said calmly
"I was out with Bradin last night after you left and he was with Callie and they were fighting, she seemed really mad at him about something and I heard her say 'if I'm this angry about it, image how bad Lucas is going to be.' Do you have any idea what she was talking about?" he looked into her eyes.
"Probably" she replied simply, she kept her eyes forward and started walking down the beach. He grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of him. He held her tight and didn't let go so she couldn't walk away. "Let me go Lucas" she said calmly
"Tell me what probably means. What happened that I need to know about?" he said, trying to look into her eyes, but she made sure she was looking down. He let go of her with one hand and pushed her chin up so she was looking at him. "Tell me Em"
"Lucas this finally feels right, why are you trying to ruin it, haven't you heard the expression what you don't know won't hurt you?" she looked at him with pleading eyes but he wouldn't take it.
"Tell me Em, or I'm done with you" he said in a serious tone
Tears started to form in her eyes "And if I tell you you'll be done with me, I can't win" Tears started pouring down her cheeks. She fell to the ground and covered her face with her hands.
Lucas stood there for a moment then leaned down and held Emily in his arms. She tried to push him away but his strong grip wouldn't allow her to, the more she struggled, the stronger he held on. "I kissed Bradin" she whispered.
"What did you say?" Lucas said, still holding her
She wiped her tears and looked him in the eyes. He didn't loosen his grip on her at all. "I kissed Bradin" she saw the pain in his eyes. "I know, you hate me now, right. Just FYI Bradin didn't want to do it, I just did it. He pulled away the second he realized what was happening." She sniffed then tried again to push Lucas off of her, but he tightened his grip
"When did this happen" he said in a monotonic voice
"A few days ago. I was upset and he let me vent on him. It was a moment of weakness"
"Sure Em, just like all the others"
"Yeah, just like all the others Luke" she said in a smart ass tone "Excuse me" she pushed him and got up. She started to walk away but Lucas grabbed her for the second time that night. "What else do you want from me Lucas?" Tears began to fall again
"Kiss me" he said simply
"Excuse me?" she said shell-shocked
"Kiss me. If it really meant nothing, I'll be able to tell." He replied
Emily rose up on her toes and Lucas leaned down and their lips met. Emily kissed him like she had never kissed anyone before. She felt his warm breath fill her mouth. She felt his tongue, his soft lips. He pulled her closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He cupped her cheek in his hand and slowly pushed her down onto the sand.
He finally pushed away and looked at her, tear stains were all across her face. "I believe you" he said finally
"You do?" she said confused
"Yeah, but you're on probation Em, anything else and we're done. I won't even ask, we'll just end"
Another set of tears rolled down her cheek. "I'll be good, I promise." "I love you Luke" she whispered, and kissed him, but he quickly pulled away
"What did you just say?"
"I'll be good, I promise?" she responded, knowing that wasn't what he was asking
"No, after that" he said looking at her
"Um… I love you?"
"That's what I thought." He paused "I love you too Em, I was just too scared to say it."
"You better mean that" she said "Because if you're just saying that because I did, I want you to take it back"
"No, I love you Em. Let me show you." He grabbed her hand and helped her up.
"Lucas, you don't have to prove anything to me. I believe you"
"Nice try." He pulled her back down the beach toward the house the party was at. He led her up the stairs and into one of the few unoccupied bedrooms.
"This is really awkward, this is someone's room." She said. He nodded in agreement "Do you really want to do this?" she asked
"Yeah, don't you" he said as he ran his hands through her hair
"Come on then" she said grabbing his hand "My dad's in Seattle, we can go to his house. That way at least I know I'm in my room, not someone else's."
Emily drove up road and waved to the security guard at the beginning of Admiral's Bay. She drove up a long, winding street and it a button on her car. A large gate opened up and she drove up the driveway. She parked the car and went up the stairs to the doors. She didn't even notice that Lucas hadn't gotten out of the car. She turned and saw him in awe. She walked to the car and grabbed his hand. "You wanted to do it"
"Yeah I do, I just never realized how much…"
"Money my family has? Don't think about it, I don't. Come on" she led him into the house which had two grand staircases leading to three corridors. In between the two stairs was a long hall. Emily pointed down there "that's where the kitchen and pool and stuff are. Come on" She lead him up the right staircase and down the corridor. She opened the 2nd door to the right and led him into a huge bedroom. It was all white with a huge queen bed with a white canopy.
"It's perfect." He picked her up and carried her over to the bed. She giggled as he placed her on her bed and slid off her shirt.
"I love you" she said
"I love you too and now I can show you" he responded.
"Shit" Lucas said.
"Tell me you were wrong" Emily said with a scared tone
"Tell me you're on birth control" he replied
"Oh my God, it broke didn't it?"
"Em, tell me you're on birth control!" he said with an anxious tone
"Yeah, I am. It broke didn't it?"
"Yeah it did"
"LUCAS! What am I going to do?"
"You should be ok"
"Are you sure, I can't get pregnant, I'd be so dead! I'm only 16"
"You'll be fine, I think"
A/N: I know this was really really long, what do you think should happen next, cause I can go so many different ways, do u want the surf competition then Sarah meeting Bradin, vice versa, or have something bad happen to Emily? And don't worry, Bradin and Callie will be big in the next chapter :)
