After hours of swimming, kissing and playing around in the pool with Paige, it soon became dark. We were in the middle of a freestyle race of 3 laps when we heard the back door of Paige's house slide open. Pausing our race to catch our breath, our heads bobbed above the water to see who had come outside, it was Paige's mom.

"Paige?" She called, "Are you out here?"

Paige looked at me and rolled her eyes, "Yeah mom! I'm in the pool." She replied.

"Oh right, sorry honey." She spoke as she made her way over to the pool.

I treaded on water anxiously, unsure of how much Paige had told her mother and if she would be upset about me being here with Paige. Just moments later, my fears were swept away as Paige's mother spotted me in the pool also.

"Emily! Hello! How are you? It's so great to see you." She said to me kindly from the side of the pool.

I smiled widely back and answered "I'm good thank you Mrs McCullers, it's good to see you too! How have you been?"

"Oh same old, same old. Just trying to keep that little devil inline." She said as she winked over at Paige, who was holding onto the side of the pool.

I laughed, "Oh yes, she can be a bit of a handful." I said agreeing with her as I noticed Paige faking hurt at my comment as she placed her hand on her head and sighed,

"I'm too much of a handful for everyone really, but you both can't resist me so I must be doing something right." Paige said in a cheeky tone.

"Well that's very true Paige, very true." Mrs McCullers said, smiling brightly at her daughter's recent happiness.

"I have ice-cream inside if you girls want some? Cookies and cream is your favourite right Emily?" Mrs McCullers asked me kindly.

My stomach growled and the thought of food and I nodded my head eagerly swimming to the pool steps to climb out, "It sure is! I'd love to."

"Well okay then, two ice-creams it is! You girls get dried up and I'll have the ice-cream waiting for you in the kitchen." Mrs McCullers laughed as she walked back inside, leaving just me and Paige alone by the side of the pool.

"Still falling for my mom's tricks huh Em?" Paige smirked at me.

"Well how could I not!" I exclaimed, "She offered me cookies and cream ice cream, I could never turn an offer like that down, let's be real Paige." I giggled as I attempted to justify my behaviour.

Paige just shook her head at me and poked out her tongue and spoke, "You're right, how could you turn down an offer to spend even more time with me?"

"Well that's true, you are pretty awesome." I chuckle at her silliness as we continue drying ourselves off with our towels.

I couldn't help but think how lucky I was, and that when I woke up this morning, Paige wasn't mine but now she is. And here we are tonight, laughing like old times, things were just so easy with her, it was perfect.

"Girls! Ice cream's ready!" We heard Mrs McCullers call from the kitchen.

Looking at each other with a knowing grin, we both stood up in unison and sprinted desperately as we raced to get to the kitchen first. As we ran across the grass I smacked her ass, causing her to stop in her tracks, totally distracted by my touch. I laughed loudly as I overtook her and made it to her back door first, sliding it open and locking it before Paige could arrive. I watched through the glass as she began running again and tried to open to the door. After realising it was locked, she pressed her head on the glass and shot me one of her winning puppy frowns. I couldn't resist her face and quickly unlocked the door, being greeted with a kiss on the cheek as she walked inside.

"Well I won!" I told Paige as I poked out my tongue at her.

"Well played Fields, well played. But we're both here now so, ice-cream?" Paige asked me smiling.

"Ice-cream." I confirmed, taking her hand and pulling her into the kitchen as we sat at the table in front of two huge bowls of ice cream.

I licked my lips and prepared to take my first mouthful when I noticed Paige already tucking into her bowl.

I raised my eyebrows at her and she snickered, "I've got to win one thing tonight right?"

Laughing at her childish behaviour I began to eat from my bowl. Soon enough, we had both consumed all the ice cream, Paige first of course and we made our way to her couch, with very full stomachs.

"I'm sooo full." I groaned to Paige as she nodded beside me,

"Me too, never again will I eat anything that fast, totally not worth it." She giggled as she spoke.

"Good girl, I guess you're just accepting that I will win everything from now on." I shot back in a silly tone.

"Oh please! I can beat you with my eyes closed Em." Paige replied.

Our competitive banter and laughter was interrupted by my phone buzzing. Reaching over to pick it up, I saw Ali's number on our group chat, 'SOS'.

Sighing I replied to the text, 'I'll be right there.' And locked my phone.

I looked over at Paige's eyes staring at me curiously, wondering who was texting me so late.

"Sorry Paige, it was Ali sending an SOS. Everyone is heading over to her house now, so I have to go." I told Paige disappointedly.

Sadly looking into my eyes Paige replied "Ali? I'm sorry Em, you can hang out with her, but just hearing her name still makes me sick. You don't have to protect her forever you know?"

"I know I don't, and trust me, you're the only person I want to save. But, this is kind of a group thing and I have to be there, seeing as I blew off 5th period to come here." I told her.

"Okay well, I'll see you tomorrow?" Paige asked me hopefully.

"Yes tomorrow, I'll come pick you up before school." I replied, "Oh and I'm going to tell the girls that we're back together tonight, so probably expect a few excited texts from Hanna, she loves you!"

Laughing at Hanna's typical behaviour, Paige nodded, "That sounds good Em, and sure, I will be prepared."

I grabbed my bag as Paige walked me out the front door and lead me to my car. As I climbed in the driver's seat and rolled down the window, I motioned for her to bend down to my level.

I kissed her gently on the lips and told her genuinely "I love you Paige, I promise I'll never let you go again."

I felt her smile as our foreheads rested gently on each others, "I love you too Emily, drive safe okay?" Paige replied.

"Anything for you!" I said jokingly and turned on the engine, pulled out from her drive way and waved at the beauty standing on her porch as I drove away.

Heading to Ali's house I began to wonder what was wrong with her now, and why did she need me? I attempted to practise what I would say to the girls and how I would tell them about Paige and I. Before long, I was parked outside Ali's house and found myself knocking on her door.

The door opened quickly and I noticed the girls sitting in her living room, while Ali was standing at the door.

"Where were you Em?!" Ali questioned me, clearly frustrated I had not been here earlier.

"Uh...sorry... I was..." I stuttered, struggling to find the correct words to say with Ali and the rest of the staring at me intently, clearly upset.

A/N: Ohhh.. what's wrong with the liars? and how will they react to Emily's news? Next chapter up very soon, until then, please review! :)
