I sigh again unable to keep from smiling ear to ear which helps me get out what I've been harboring inside, "Maya, our love let us find those hidden places we so desperately didn't want anyone to know about; even the ones we didn't know were there. But now, those places are no longer hidden because our love shared their beauty. There is no longer pain in those hidden places. There is only our love. And Maya, I do love you and I'm in love with my best friend too."
I get lost in her eyes when she says, "I love all of you, even those once hidden places…"
And I sigh and we love and we love, forever…
Chapter 44: Going Home
Emily POV
Our parents were totally freaked when we got separated by the storm and I swear my mom is never going to let me out of her sight again! But they're just glad we used our heads to find shelter and stay safe. Though they don't need to know how we kept warm when the fire went out!
Oh, I'm so, so happy that Maya is Maya again! Don't get me wrong, I like being the strong and confident one but Maya, Maya makes me feel like I don't have to be the take charge all the time girlfriend. I like being a girly girl and the fact that Maya is so feminine yet so very confident and much more the dominant in our relationship; it makes me feel like I can be more of that girly girl. It's just another part of this immense attraction I have for her.
I know things will be different in our relationship but good different. I feel much more at ease to be her rock when she needs me to be and I know she will always be mine!
It's been a day and half since we returned to Point Loma and we're all packed and ready to head back to Rosewood where we belong. We say our goodbyes to Aunt Maren and then head to the airport with our parents.
So much happened while we were here and, most, I would like to forget but as Maya puts it, if she hadn't gone through it here then all those emotions and what she went through would come to the surface at some point in Rosewood. This way, it's all out in the open and now she knows she has someone to talk to about it, someone to be her rock.
Certain things also came to light. We found out that Toby is –A and that Chelsea got herself mixed up in all of it. She's been recovering in a spa like facility and it looks like her lawyers will keep her out of jail for killing Paige. They're saying if she hadn't stepped in then Maya might've ended up in a body bag instead of Paige. So it wasn't premeditated, it was an act of being in the moment to save a life. And, of course, her parents have money so it looks like she is free and clear.
But Toby. Ughh. That's not going to be easy to tell the girls. He admitted he's –A and then he plunged into the ocean. It's so disappointing that he would want to hurt any of us like that. I suppose he got what he deserved. The only thing that concerns me is that there was no body recovered. He either got taken out to sea or….I can't even think about the alternative. I'm also not looking forward to telling Spencer. She and Toby had become quite close and it's definitely going to hit her the hardest and hurt the most.
As we sit on the plane side by side, I feel very lucky to have my girl back and I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize us ever again. It's amazing how keeping secrets can dictate your every move making you become kind of calculating. I didn't like keeping things from Maya and now I know I never will again. Secret keeping is a lot of work emotionally and I'd rather save my emotions for Maya.
The plane ride is pretty quiet, holding hands, resting my head on her shoulder as it should be and thinking about going home. I've already missed a week of swim practice so I'll be busy catching up with that and Maya has orchestra starting mid-August. It's good, though; that we'll have stuff to concentrate on other than –A except for when we have that dreaded conversation with Aria, Hanna and Spencer.
Other than that whole thing I think being back in Rosewood is just what we need. Soon we'll be starting our senior year in high school with homecoming and prom and finally graduation. The toughest issue we'll have to face, I hope, will be where to go to college. I doubt we'll be going to the same place so senior year is going to be that much more important to do things together and love every minute of it!
"What are you smiling about?" Maya asks.
I sit up so I can kiss her sweetly on the lips, "Just you and me and senior year."
"I see. And what are our plans for senior year?" She narrows her eyes knowing I already have a plan for us.
"Just to live it up and be happy. I want that for us. We deserve it dontcha think?" I find myself looking at her in a way that says, 'don't you feel the same way'?
She turns her body towards me so she can really look at me. I can feel her love penetrate my soul making me let out a not so silent sigh. She smiles.
"Baby, senior year will be our year. I'll even so much as dress up again to go to homecoming but this time we go as a couple. Not like last year."
"Don't remind me. I went with Toby! How did I not see who he really was!"
"You saw the Toby you wanted to see and that's understandable. He's always been nice to me and I think that's why it feels the way it does. He had all of us fooled, especially Spencer."
We both have sadness in our eyes for we know how difficult it will be for Spencer to hear. I'm sure they've heard inklings of the goings on and we all know how creative the news can be.
"I think we should tell Spencer as soon as possible. I feel like if we wait any longer it's just going to get harder and harder to tell her."
"I think so too. We'll do it together and I'll step in if you need me to."
I look into her eyes, I know mine are glistening, and then I cup her face in my hands bringing her lips to my lips. It's a gentle kiss that gets a little too intense for an airplane full of people as my mom reminds us with an "ahem."
The kiss stops and my face flushes crimson as I realize we just gave half the plane a show of our love. We giggle softly while Maya opens her arms for me to nestle into her. I gladly accept her offering. Once again, the flight grows quiet and we fall asleep, only waking when the pilot announces our descent.
Philadelphia is directly below us and soon we'll be home again in Rosewood! Relief washes over me because I can't wait for normality to seep back into our lives. Normal meaning, as normal as Rosewood can get!
Once we get to our house, Maya and I say our goodbyes while my dad helps the driver with our bags. I don't want to let her go but I know we'll be seeing each other very soon and often, even with our busy schedules. We hug and we kiss and I blush cuz that's just what she makes me do knowing that she loves me the way she does!
Maya POV
Let's see, dirty clothes in the laundry room, clean clothes folded and put away. Toiletries, make up, and everything else all where it belongs. I bring my suitcases down to the basement and tell my parents I'm going to lie down for a while. They're totally cool with that since the whole trip to California was one of the most harrowing experiences I've ever gone through, with the exception of almost being bludgeoned to death by Paige.
I fall onto my bed all spread out, letting my body sink into the mattress. Every fiber of my being is finally able to relax and not have any worries about secrets and lies. But lying there makes my mind wander, thinking about California and everything that happened. I still can't believe I fell into a state of catatonia. But in a way, I wonder if my body was begging to be shut down. I've endured so much since coming to Rosewood and I needed a break from everything and I think that's the only way my body knew how to give me one.
I think about Chelsea and I can understand why she did what she did but I also have her to thank for saving my life. If she hadn't come to Rosewood then I might not be in my room chilling out at this moment…
I try getting more comfortable turning onto my side catching a glimpse of a picture of me and Emily on my nightstand. I place my hands under the side of my face resting atop my pillow and I understand why it was Rosewood we moved to. I can't even imagine my life without Emily in it and I don't want to. She's right, senior year will be our year as soon as we break the news to the girls.
I know Emily prefers me to take the lead put its nice when she does it every once in a while. But I have to say, I kind of like being the strong confident girl I've learned to become. I love the look in Emily's eyes when I walk her up against the wall looking deeply into her eyes and then ravage her lips with mine. As far as sex is concerned, I definitely enjoy taking the lead. With my eyes closed, I smile with thoughts of loving my baby in all sorts of incredible ways. As a matter of fact, I can feel my loins begin to ache. I need to text her. I need to meet up with her. I need to love her…
Baby I miss u.
I miss u 2.
I need 2 c u.
Now?
Can you get away?
Yeah. I'll think of something. Where do u want 2 go?
How bout the boathouse.
Great idea!
Bring a blanket.
K
10 min?
C u soon!
Luv u.
Luv u.
I'm so glad she showed me that place! It's the perfect getaway whenever we need to get away. I smile.
So I get up and pack my stuff then rush down the stairs and with the door open I shout,
"Mom! Dad! I'm going out to get some fresh air!"
"Alone?"
"Nah, I'm gonna pick Emily up."
"Haven't you two seen enough of each other to last a lifetime?"
"No mom! A lifetime's not long enough!"
"Cute! Just check in so your father and I don't have to worry about you!"
"Okay mom, love you! Bye!"
"Love you too honey! Have fun!"
Oh we will! We definitely will! I throw my stuff in my car and go get Emily. We take the back way to the lake because I don't want people to know where we are, especially not our parents. And the only way to do that is to be sneaky. I guess as long as we're being sneaky together its okay.
"Hey beautiful, did ya miss me," I lean over the gear shift for a welcoming kiss.
"Yeah…I missed you every second you were away from me," she says as our lips part.
"Do your parents know where we're going?" I ask.
"Nah, I told them we're going for a walk in the park. And that you'd be over shortly to pick me up. They offered to drive me but I told them you were already on your way"
"Quick thinking. Look at us, still keeping secrets," I laugh.
"Does it really count if you're keeping a secret from your parents so you can have sex with your girlfriend?"
"Emily! Look at you being all bold!"
"Is that okay?" She second guesses herself.
"Of course! I'm teasing and I think I like it!"
"I think I do too."
I pull away from her house driving just over the Rosewood line to our favorite getaway spot, the boathouse. It takes us about a half an hour and as I park the car she asks,
"Did you bring a swimsuit?"
I look over to her and say, "Aww, a swimsuit, how cute!"
"Maya!"
"Em, why bother with a swimsuit when you know it's not going to stay on for very long."
"You're right."
We get our things tossing them onto the deck then we quickly strip out of our clothes and jump in. The water is warm from being under the sun all morning and it feels so refreshing!
"Em, this is perfect!"
"It is!"
We swim around splashing each other laughing and laughing and it feels incredible! Everything has been in serious mode for so long that this is just what we need before we talk to the girls…
And then things begin to calm as we tread water to stay afloat. I notice the sun reflecting off the droplets on her silky caramel skin. My eyes move lower watching her buoyancy bob up and down in the water making me lick my lips and raise an eyebrow.
"Whatcha lookin' at My?"
"You," I swim closer.
Emily swims backwards until a large smooth rock stops her. With nowhere to go I swim to her keeping her between me and that rock. My hands disappear into the cool liquid surrounding us finding her waist. My mouth parts while my tongue rests anxiously against my bottom teeth. I work my hands slowly up her torso over her breasts giving them light squeezes, forcing her to secure her body against the smooth rock face. My hands continue their exploration while my mouth begins an exploration of its own. She wastes no time capturing my tongue, sucking on it gently sending a signal to my brain to move one of my hands down, down, down between her legs…
She makes a surprised, "Huh!" sound even though she knew where my hand was headed.
Our mouths take turns surrounding each other's tongues, smiling and sealing our lips together, our eyes peeking every once in a while to see the expression on the other's face. It's an expression that says more, more, and more!
My fingers slip between her lips massaging her clit, feeling her hole relax, readying itself for me. We both smile as my fingers dip inside her! She clutches the rock, steadying herself while my other hand moves to a crevice in its surface gripping it tightly, giving me the leverage I need to penetrate her deeper and harder and faster! Our bodies rock in rhythm as she moans my name and lets out a few fucks and ah ah ahs and uh uh uhs!
My fingers have found what they're looking for making her throw her arms around my neck shaking beneath the water trembling from my touch…
"Maya," she whispers against my ear, "I love you, god I love you so much!"
I can feel her breath against my neck, her mouth kissing, her teeth nibbling while my fingers finish what they started. My hand stays between her legs cupping her pussy, calming her desires while giving her a sweet reminder of what belongs to me.
And then my eyes draw hers to mine while my words flow effortlessly from my lips, "I love you totally and completely…"
