Emily woke up the morning after Noel's party with a huge smile on her face. She couldn't stop thinking about the kiss between her and Maya and she couldn't wait to do it again. She rolled over in her bed and smiled, when suddenly her phone rang. She looked at the caller display and it was Alison.
"Hey Ally!" she said.
"Did I wake you up?" asked Alison.
"Nope, wide awake over here".
"Good! I'm coming over!"
Emily paused before answering. She wanted to say no because she wanted to go over to Maya's place and see what she was doing today but she knew how Alison would react.
"I can't hang out today Ally".
"Why the hell not?"
"I promised my mom that I'd help her around the house".
"Since when do you help your mom around the house?"
"Since she asked me to".
"Tell her it's an emergency...tell her I really need help with a school project, she'll believe you".
"How about I call you when I'm done helping her out?"
Alison paused before answering. Emily could hear the angry breathing begin but she tried to stay calm.
"Fine! But you owe me!"
"I'll talk to you later Ally".
They both hung up and Emily went straight for the shower. She wanted to look nice for when she arrived unannounced to Maya's place. She had the perfect idea planned for the day, she just hoped her mom would let her have the car. After her shower, she took another forty five minutes to figure out what to wear. She finally went with a simple pair of light blue ripped jeans and a baseball styled three quarter length sleeved tee, which was grey and blue. She took one last look in the mirror and then ran downstairs to get the car keys.
"I'm taking the car for the afternoon mom, is that okay?!" she shouted up to her mom who was in her bedroom.
"Make sure you're back for dinner!" she shouted back.
Emily grabbed the keys and flew out the door. She got into the car and drove a couple of doors down to Maya's place. She began to feel nervous. She had never been here before and she didn't know what her mother would be like. She slowly went to the door and rang the door bell. A tall, and just as beautiful middle aged woman answered the door.
"Hello?...may I help you?" asked the obvious mother of Maya St. Germain.
"Is Maya in?"
"Sure, one moment...Maya!" she yelled up to her daughter.
"What?!" shouted back Maya.
"There's a young lady at the door for you!"
Emily could hear the foot steps approaching from upstairs. She saw the beautiful girl descend from the stairwell, down to the front door where they smiled at each other. Maya's mother was still standing there.
"Mom, this is Emily Fields...the girl I was telling you about from up the street".
"Hello Emily, it's really nice to meet you".
"It's nice to meet you to Ms St. Germain".
"Please...call me Rosa".
Emily smiled as Rosa left them alone. Maya opened the door and lead Emily to the front steps. They both sat down.
"So you left the party around the same time I did, was it that boring?" asked Maya.
"Well it was boring until you got there" smiled Emily.
Maya blushed and looked over at Emily who was staring at her.
"If it wasn't for Alison things might've heated up some more".
Emily blushed and lowered her head.
"What's wrong? Scared of a little fun?"
"I'm not scared, I'm just nervous".
"Do I make you nervous?"
Maya placed her hand over top of Emily's who jumped at the feel of her touch. Emily giggled which in return made Maya giggle.
"You don't make me nervous. I think I make myself nervous".
"Why is that?"
"Because I can't say I've ever felt this way about..."
"About a girl?..." asked Maya as she finished Emily sentence.
"Yeah..."
Maya smiled a reassuring smile towards Emily then looked at the car in her driveway.
"You drove here?"
Emily giggled.
"Well yes but I was going to see if you wanted to go somewhere".
"Like where?"
"Like the lake just north of here, was going to see if you wanted to go to for a walk or something".
"Like a date?"
"...like a date".
They both looked at each other and smiled. Maya nodded her head yes.
"Let me go grab my purse".
"Okay..."
Maya ran inside to grab her purse and Emily still sat on the front steps smiling. Maya returned and passed Emily, going straight for the car.
"Shotty!" she yelled.
"You're the only one coming Maya".
"I meant shotty, I get to drive!"
"Maya no!" said Emily as she approached Maya who was standing at the driver's door.
"Pretty please?"
"It's my mom's car".
"She doesn't need to know".
"Well what if she happens to be on the street and sees us pulling away with you driving?"
"She won't! I promise!".
Emily pulled the car keys out of her purse and reluctantly handed them to Maya. Maya smiled and hopped into the car. Emily cautiously entered the passenger's seat and shot an awkward smile towards Maya who was so excited to be sitting in the driver's seat.
"You have your license right?" asked Emily.
"Of course I do!" piped Maya.
And with that the car started and off they went. As they drove by Emily's house, Emily ducked down just in case but there was no sign of her mom. It wasn't until they were approaching Alison's house that Emily became a little concerned.
"Shit!" screamed Emily.
"What?! What is it?" asked Maya curiously.
"It's Alison! I lied to her so I didn't have to hang out with her and now there she is".
"Then duck!"
Emily ducked and Maya stared out the window and waved sarcastically at Alison who was standing outside her house. She giggled as Emily came back up and continued to point Maya in the right direction.
When they finally got there, Emily opened the trunk and pulled out a blanket for them to lay on. They walked over to the closest part of the lake and laid down the blanket. They both laid down on the blanket and as their arms fell beside each other, they found each other hand in hand.
"Deja vu" said Maya.
"Huh?" said Emily confused.
"Last night we were looking up at the ceiling, now we're looking up at the clouds".
"Clouds were always more fun to describe".
"There's a dinosaur over there" pointed Maya to the sky.
"You must love dinosaurs" replied Emily as she giggled.
"Who doesn't love dinosaurs?"
"Who doesn't love angels? In fact, there's one right there" pointed Emily to nothing.
"I can't see it".
Emily grabbed Maya's hand that she was holding and pointed it to the nothing in the sky. Their hands stayed intertwined as they lowered back down to the blanket where they were lying.
"You know Friday when I came over to introduce myself, I didn't expect someone like you to answer the door".
"Someone like me?"
"Yeah, someone so beautiful and incredibly nice".
"Are you kidding me?! When I opened the door I did not expect you to be standing there".
"Me?"
"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I don't know what it is but I am so intrigued by you".
Maya turned to face Emily so Emily did the same.
"Maybe it's this..."
Maya reached her arm behind Emily's neck and pulled her in for a kiss. They began to kiss deeper and deeper. They weren't coming up for breath. This is exactly what Emily wanted today. She wanted all the alone time she could have with Maya before school started up next week and Alison would be there to destroy all hope of a make out session with Maya. Their arms now completely wrapped around each other as they continued to passionately kiss each other. Their hands moving around each other's bodies, behind their necks, down their backs, across their faces. This was the best Sunday afternoon Emily had in a while.
"Slow down...slow down..." said Maya.
"Is something wrong?" asked Emily.
"No not at all! I just don't want to rush things".
"Aren't I the new one here?"
"Exactly! So slow it's going to be".
Maya smiled at Emily and kissed her on the forehead. She laid back down and wrapped her arm around Emily. Emily leaned in to Maya's chest to hear her heart beat which was beating really fast. She smiled to herself and closed her eyes. Before they knew it, they were both fast asleep on the blanket by the lake. Peaceful and alone.
