"Your turn, Emily" Emily obeyed immediately at Dorothy´s orders. Dorothy, their art teacher, kept yelling. "Paige, move closer to Fields." She took Paige´s arms and moved her so that she was right behind Emily. Just a few more inches and her front would reach Emily´s back. The room was almost in complete darkness; bright enough to catch a glimpse of the shadows. Dorothy had dark hair; she was short and had amazing green eyes. "Paige…" She said annoyed and moved Paige a little bit more. That was when her front touched Emily, and the girl in front of Paige gasped. Paige couldn´t help but take Emily´s scent in and sighing. She was addicted to Emily´s perfume, she wouldn´t get tired of it. "Okay… Emily, raise both of your arms," Dorothy said and Emily obeyed "Paige, your hands on Emily´s waist," Paige was trying not to spin Emily around and kiss her. The want was consuming her. The bell rang and Paige pulled away hastily. Emily felt a twinge on her heart when she felt that Paige pulled away from her like that. Paige saw the pain on Emily´s face and just couldn´t stand to see her like that, that´s why she ran away. Again; like every time she saw Emily after that night. She knew that what they did hadn´t been right, but deep inside of her very soul, she knew she would never take it back. She could never just take it back. Paige leaned to take her bag, which was lying on the floor, next to Emily´s. When she reached it, her hand grazed Emily´s soft skin, while the other girl was picking up her bag as well. Emily´s eyes met hers; Emily just mumbled a sorry and looked away. Paige simply nodded and got out of the room. Emily waited a while to get out of the, no longer dark, room. All the other guys were picking their up their bags and storming out of the room, the noise disappearing.
When Emily stormed out of the room with puffy eyes and a broken heart, she ran to the restroom and locked herself inside one of the cubicles. She started sobbing uncontrollably with her back against the door. She slid down to sit on the cold floor. She knew that maybe she was just overreacting but she was afraid that Paige´s sudden reluctance to be around her could be the beginning of the end. I´m sorry, Paige, she kept whispering between sobs. The crazy thing was that she would never be sorry about what happened. She was just sorry about how what happened was affecting Paige. She heard Paige´s voice calling her name, only it wasn´t Paige. It was Emily´s own mind. She heard Paige saying her name like when they had first kissed. Emily, Paige had simply said, before she connected their lips for the first time for real. It had been amazing… quick, hurried, and short, but perfect. Emily smiled, tears rushing down her face once again, while she stared at the ceiling and tried to remember the exact same feeling she felt that day after swimming practice.
After a while of thinking, crying more and remembering, she wiped her tears away, blew her nose and stood up. She checked her phone; is it really seven? she thought. She saw Hanna´s name all over the phone´s screen, rolled it down and saw her name; Paige´s name; one voicemail. She didn´t want to open it, frightened by what it might say. She locked her phone again and started walking towards Rosewood High´s exit. She opened the huge door and looked up. The clouds were dark, she was certain that it was going to rain.
When Emily got home, she changed into sweatpants and a loosen t-shirt, threw her sneakers to her closet and let herself fall over her window seat. She moved until she found a comfortable position; She did, but something was missing. Someone was missing. She couldn´t stay there any longer and walked to her bed. She sat down and took her phone. She found a message from Paige.
Please call me back, Em; I´m starting to get worried. I will make it up to you; I´m so sorry.
I have dinner with Connor tonight, maybe breakfast? Tomorrow 7am? Just text me an "okay" to let me know or just a "go to hell" please. Sleep tight, honey.
Love you.
-Paige.
Emily smiled at the last two sentences, but when she re-read the text, her smile vanished. She had almost forgotten Connor, Paige´s boyfriend… officially. Connor was what made Emily Paige´s secret lover. Paige´s lips weren´t just hers, Paige´s hair wasn´t just hers, Paige´s eyes weren´t just hers. She had to share them; share her with a guy, and that made her feel like crap. Her world came crumbling down; she had to share Paige´s eyes. Those eyes; the eyes Emily couldn´t stop staring at when she had enough time, but… it was never enough time.
The girl shook her head, closed her eyes and collapsed against her pillow, groaning. She fell asleep, not before texting to Paige.
Okay, go to hell, sweetie, I love you.
-Emily.
Paige felt that her phone buzzed and looked at Connor, who was sitting across her, next to his mother, while his father sat on the head of the table. They hadn´t noticed so she opened the text and smiled, she was slightly confused though she knew it most likely meant a yes. Her stomach fluttered as she read the last three words.
After a long night with Connor and his parents, Paige was riding her bike home but something stopped her; the bench in the park. It was the bench where Paige and Emily had shared their first kiss. She climbed off her bike. Paige felt raindrops starting to fall. She looked up and closed her eyes. She didn´t have an umbrella, but she didn´t care. After a while, it started to rain harder and Paige approached to the nearest tree she found, in order to cover herself from the rain. She waited for another fifteen minutes or so and she decided to ride home. She walked away from the tree. She could barely see the bench. There was someone sitting there. She caught a glimpse of her bike and walked towards it. She heard a voice, only she couldn´t understand anything. She heard it again. When she stooped to reach her bike, which was just as soaked as her, she stopped feeling the rain falling. Paige stood up and saw Emily´s perfect face, just inches away from her. Emily was sheltering both of them with a black, small sized umbrella. "Needing an umbrella, Paigey?" Emily said, loudly teasing the other girl.
"You know that I don´t like it when you call me that." Emily smiled and kissed Paige´s nose. Paige closed her eyes and felt Emily´s hot breath on her skin.
They started walking, leaving Paige´s bike; they weren´t leaving just yet. Emily walked a little bit faster, leaving Paige behind. She turned around, looked at Paige and started spinning around like crazy. When she stopped, she saw Paige glaring at her, furiously. Then it became a teasing glare and Paige ran to Emily, the other girl opening her eyes widely in anticipation, and turned around. Paige´s arms surrounded her; Emily had already dropped the umbrella. "You are so dead," Paige said near to Emily´s ear and bit it softly groaning and made Emily yell, annoyed,"Paige!" Paige hugged her tight, still facing Emily´s back. Emily kept moving, trying to make the other girl to let go of her. Both of them were laughing hard. Their constant movements, made them stumble and fall on the wet grass. Emily fell over Paige but the other girl moved her so that she was lying on the grass next to her. They were impossibly close. Paige and Emily locked eyes for what seemed like ages, but they couldn´t get tired of it. Emily placed a loose strand of Paige´s hair behind her ear, and Paige closed her eyes at the touch. Emily caressed Paige´s cheek, making Paige shiver. She pulled her in for a soft, lingering kiss. Paige responded with passion, but keeping it sweet and slow. Emily pulled away and rested their foreheads together. "I wish that your lips were just mine" Emily whispered with her eyes closed.
"They are yours," Paige said kissing Emily once again. When she pulled away, Emily had her eyes still closed. She shook her head
"Connor…" Paige cut her "They belong to you." Emily bit her lip and smiled. I wish that your eyes were just mine.
