Chapter 17: I Want You to Stay
"Hey, Noel, it's me Maya."
"Hey, you left kind of early last night. So, was it worth it?"
"You need to shut up Noel."
"If only I could've been a fly on the wall."
"Are you done perving yet?"
"Sorry."
"Can you come over right away?"
"Yeah sure. What's up?"
"Just bring your best stuff."
"Back to your old habits?"
"Some habits are too hard to break."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, seriously…"
The Hastings…
While Emily lies down on the couch resting, her cell phone goes off making her sit up quickly hoping beyond hope that it's Maya. But when she opens her text she sees that it's not,
Paige made her choice.
Anger over Emily.
Maya made her choice.
Ecstasy over Emily.
I win Bitches!

Two weeks later at Spencer's house…
"I can't believe Noel is spending so much time at Maya's," Emily groans.
"He's just helping her get through this rough patch," offers Spencer surprised that she's taking his side.
"But I know all he's helping her to do is get stoned," Emily worries.
"Maybe so, but at least she's not looking to hook up to help make her forget."
"Hannah! Jesus! What is wrong with you!" Spencer bursts out.
"Nothing. I'm just saying Emily still owns her heart. That's a good thing isn't it?"
"Yeah I guess," agrees Spencer.
"Look it's a long weekend and everyone is going to be at the town green and the pool celebrating and I bet Maya's gonna be there too," Aria attempts to redirect the conversation.
"That's true. We can all go and sit by the pool and try to enjoy the sun, the fun and the festivities," suggests Spencer.
"Come on Em, it'll be fun," Hannah pushes Em to join them.
"Fine. I'll go but I'm not sure how much fun I'm gonna be."
"Just wear your sexiest bikini and I bet lots of people will think you're all kinds of fun," Hannah winks.
"Yeah, well there's only one person I want to see me in my sexiest bikini and she's not talking to me."
"She will be after she sees you all falling out of your top," Hannah goes on and on.
And suddenly Emily starts to feel pretty good about the Memorial Day festivities. She and Maya ended up in Emily's bed when she showed up at that party in Spencer's too small bikini so why not wear her very own sexy bikini and draw her attention to her again...
At the St. Germains…
"So a bunch of us are going to the Memorial Day celebration this weekend. You're going with us right?" asks Noel.
"I don't know if I'm in the celebration kind of mood."
"Come on Maya, all you do is go to school and then come home until you have to go to school again. You need to get out. Really get out."
"I guess you're right. I'll go but I don't know how fun I'm gonna be."
"Don't worry about the fun. I'll take care of that."
"Will you now."
"Of course! We'll hang out by the pool and then if we get bored we'll smoke in the woods."
"Now that sounds like a plan."
"Don't forget to wear your skimpiest bikini."
"You're such a dick."
"Maya, my virgin ears!"
That makes them both start laughing hysterically.
"Ya know what Noel, you really are good for me."
"Don't I know it. Too bad you only play for one team."
"Yeah, the only team."
"Touché Maya St. Germain, touché."
Getting ready for the Memorial Day festivities…
"So do you have on your sexiest bikini under there?" Hannah asks ultra-curiously.
"Yes I do," Emily says with a confident swagger and pursed lips already looking sexy.
"You better save some of that for Maya; you don't want to lose your cool when you see her."
"You're right, I'm just really excited. I know she won't be able to say no to me."
"But it's not just about the sex Emily. You want her back. And you've already done this at Noel's party and it didn't end so well. What's your plan?"
"I guess seduce then talk."
"That sounds really well planned out. Did ya ever think that maybe she won't let herself be taken by your sexiness a second time?"
"No, I can't think that way. I'm going to talk to her and she's going to listen."
"I hope you know what you're doing," Hannah wonders out loud.
"So do I…"
The Memorial Day Celebration…
The girls meet up with Spencer and Aria then head to the town celebration. They arrive just in time to grab four lounge chairs by the pool. Toby is lifeguarding and Caleb is going to catch up with them later. Ezra is out of town so Aria will be going stag with Emily. Across the pool sits Noel and his group of friends including one very uncovered Maya St. Germain. While the girls settle themselves, Maya gets up sauntering over to the diving board. Emily notices everyone staring in her direction so she too turns to look. Her mouth drops to the ground as she loses her balance falling into her lounge chair. She sits back and watches this gorgeous creature as does everyone else. Maya steps to the end of the board, arms extended away from her fit sexy frame. She's wearing a yellow bikini that shows off her buxomness and her cheekiness. Her hands point above her head as she dives into the waiting water. She swims to Emily's side of the pool, rising up from the depths wading through the shallow end pushing her wet hair behind her tossing it from side to side. When she is ready to leave the pool, she steps slowly from the bottom stair to the top stair with everyone's eyes watching her toned, beautiful body. Emily is mesmerized as she exaggerates the slowness of her ascent from the pool stopping right in front of Emily as she once again takes her hands running her fingers through her hair to its ends then grabbing the length to squeeze out the excess water. Emily's eyes work her up and down and up again, her tongue outlines her lips as her eyes become entranced by this heavenly creature. Maya tosses her hair back meeting Emily's gaze for the first time since she got there causing her to become motionless. Without moving, she scans Emily's body noticing her black bikini, her flesh spilling out of its top and her flat athletic stomach making her unknowingly lick her lips…
The lifeguards whistle goes off breaking them from their trance as Maya walks away as quickly as she can…
"Oh my god! Did you guys see that?" Hannah shouts.
"Who didn't see that," says Spencer.
"Emily, Em, are you okay?" asks Aria.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Let's just enjoy the sun."
But Emily's thoughts are not with her as her mind surrounds the image of Maya in her yellow bikini revealing more than she would like others to see. Then she looks at herself and covers up with her towel.
"I shouldn't have come."
"Yes you should have," Aria counters.
"I think I need to take a walk."
"Do you want us to go with you?" Spencer asks with concern.
"No, please don't. I need to be alone for a while."
"Are you sure?" Hannah asks not sure if she should let her go alone.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
Emily walks dejectedly to the pool gate and out towards the woods with her towel wrapped around her waist and flip flops. She follows the path to the lake finding a big flat rock to sit on out of the way of any possible passersby but something or someone has gotten her attention. She hears rocks skipping across the lake but can't see who's doing it so she gets up leaving her towel spread out on the flat rock and walks over to the cozy beach. No one else is around as the lake is still too cold to swim in. She walks over quietly trying to get a better look when she realizes the person standing there is Maya with a blue beach towel wrapped around her waist just as Emily's was. Emily takes a deep breath letting it out slowly as she approaches her and simply says,
"Maya."
Maya stops skipping the rocks and just stands there without turning to see who it is. She knows who it is.
"What is it Emily?" is all she says with a cool tone.
"Nothing. I just needed to get away from the crowd of people at the pool."
"Is that all?" she asks warming her tone.
"I wanted to take a walk to try to clear my head."
"Clear it of what?" she asks kind of curiously.
"The image of you in that bikini standing before me so strong, so confident and so beautiful."
"Go on," she says with a bite of humor.
This surprises Emily giving her the confidence to step right behind her and even more confidence to place her hands on her hips.
Emily places her lips a whisper away from Maya's ear, "So, you want to hear me tell you how beautiful I think you are because if that's the case, I could go on for days."
Maya chuckles leaning into Emily and says, "You always did know how to make me feel good about myself."
"And I always will," Emily says snuggling into her.
"Emily, I can't do this right now," Maya says folding her arms over her chest.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not ready."
"Will you ever be ready?" Emily asks a bit discouraged.
"I don't know. That's why when the school year ends I will be leaving Rosewood to spend the summer in California with my Aunt."
"What?" Emily shrieks dropping her hands from Maya's hips. "You can't. We have to figure us out first," Emily pleads to the back of Maya's head.
"Emily, I need to be far away from you so I can figure us out."
Emily grabs Maya's arm turning her to face her.
"I won't let you go," Emily states quite seriously.
Maya looks into Emily's eyes, "You have to."
"Why? Why do I have to?" she asks in a panic.
"Because Em, I don't trust myself with you. I don't trust myself to make the right decision for me if I keep falling into your bed without resolving anything."
Tears begin to form in Emily's eyes, "No Maya! You know everything there is to know. There were things I didn't tell you but I didn't mean to not tell you. So much has been going on and we were so happy, I just can't let you go."
"Well, now you have to let me go," she says as she places a hand on Emily's cheek, looking into her sad brown eyes wishing everything could go back to the way it was but it can't.
She starts to make her way back to the path in the woods but Emily stops her. She stands in front of her not letting her pass.
"Emily please let me go," she says softly.
Then something comes over Emily, she puts one hand on Maya's waist and the other behind her neck. Maya does not resist. Emily looks from Maya's eyes to her lips to her eyes again and then it happens. She presses her lips firmly against Maya's and she lets her…
When they release each other's lips Emily says, "Maya, please I want you to stay."
"Emily, it's not much of a life I'm living right now," she states realistically still letting Emily hold onto her as she kisses down her neck. "It's not something you can just take, it has to be given."
Emily lifts her head to look into Maya's eyes for the love she knows is still there and will always be there, "But Maya, the reason I hold on is that I need this hole between us to be gone. Ya know it's funny, how you're the broken one but I'm the one who needs saving. Don't you get it Maya I only see the light when I'm with you. It makes me feel like I can't live without you. Please Maya I want you to stay…"
A tear falls from Maya's eye as their lips touch once more feeling every curve, every dip and every peak. Emily's tongue can no longer remain quiet as she moves it into Maya's mouth causing a soft moan to escape her throat; Emily can tell she wants this. She presses her tongue flat against hers moving it slowly, sensuously wanting to feel every crevice, every bump and every smoothness. She wants to feel all of its softness. Her tongue fits perfectly against Maya's. Their kisses turn soft and wet and tender and as they touch each other's face and play with each other's hair, their kisses build up to urgent and demanding. But then, Emily pauses and goes back to teasing kisses of just barely touching her lips. She takes a breath and kisses her eyelid and nibbles on her ear. Maya pulls her closer wanting her to love her just as much as Emily wants to love her. Emily gives her neck soft kisses making her anxious to hear that melting, soft moan from within her. She's patient with her, letting all of her breaths escape her as she waits them out for just a bit longer. But then it's Maya who pulls Emily back for more kisses, the kind you can never get enough of, the ones that make you weak in the knees and have you melting into their arms because you want them to continue for three days and even for the rest of your life…

To Be Continued…
Coming Up:
Maya gives herself to Emily at the lake but can she let Emily's lies go and give in to their love totally and completely?
**And yes, I did borrow from Rihanna's, "Stay"; I think it fit perfectly for what was going on between Emily and Maya at that moment.
