-Emily's POV-
"Uhm. Em?" Hanna said cutting my trip to memory "Hmm?" I tried to focus my attention "Lost yourself at me?" I raised my brow as she teased me with a grin. "Conceited much?" I moved myself so our eyes were to meet directly opposite with each other's. "Don't stare at me like that" she looked away from me but I held her chin back "like this? Like I'm reading your every thought? Like your eyes could see my soul?" I said the words with passion.
-Hanna's POV-
Is Emily being a tease? She leaned to my ears and whispered seductively "why? Am I too much of a tease to handle? " I gave her a quick peck on the lips as soon as she leaned back. "That's all you get Fields." She kept teasing me with all the staring and seductive whispers on my ear. Oh my God. How could I resist this? "Someone's being a temptress tonight, what's gotten into you?" I asked with a fake voice of annoyance. "and it's working" She whispered on my lips before smashing hers to mine. I kissed her back without hesitation.
-Emily's POV-
It meant to be just a tease but what I was doing was turning me on and I'm sure she too was. The kiss was rough and clumsy. It voiced out the unspoken words. It showed how we missed and loved each other. "I…thought…you…won't kiss…a girl again?" I said in between kisses. "that makes you an exception". We moved so she was at her back and I was on top of her. There was hunger on our kisses our tongues battled for dominance. I was straddling her and unconsciously grinded on her. "I'm sorry" I pulled back once I noticed what I was doing. She pulled me back and continued kissing. I let out a moan when she groped my butt.
"I never thought you were this touchy" I started placing kisses on her neck and back to her lips. "This would be awkward after…and it'd be easy" She stopped kissing me "w—what?" she asked "nothing" I say to her but she gave me a don't-give-me-that-bullcrap-look. "I did this so I had a reason to stay away" I looked away "So is this one of your games Em?" tears started to form on my eyes. I dismounted from her and sat back. She thinks this was a game that I was playing with her. The word 'game' was a trigger.
FLASHBACK
"What's this?" I shoved my phone to her face. A sent me a picture of Hanna and Caleb hugging. "I can't believe that freak followed me to Ravenswood" she wasn't bothered about how furious I was but she was bothered that A followed her there. Why was she even there in the first place? "So this was in Ravenswood? You went all your way there to wrap his arms around you?" I can't believe what was going on. "Keep your voice down" I forgot we were at the brew. "I went there to have closure. I needed that for myself…for us. Caleb and I had loose ends to tie" Her reason was valid but my emotions are still taking over. "Hanna. Are you playing with me?" she looked at me with disbelief "Em no! No. No. I would never do that to you" Now guilt has taken over me. "…because I was" I looked at her and tears were starting to fall on her cheeks.
She didn't say a word. "That night after we kissed at Spencer's A told me to play with you or he/she tells Caleb and Paige about what happened. I could've just told Paige but I know A wouldn't make it happen. I wanted to ask Spencer and Aria's help but A threatened to expose it to the whole school" I was in tears. "So you played with me? Em I loved you"
"I love you too Hanna. At first it was just A, but I couldn't help myself from falling for you."
"So it took you months to tell me all this?"
"I didn't know how to tell you. Now that Caleb's in Ravenswood and that Paige and I are over I figured A doesn't have anything against me. I had to wait until it was safe"
I held her hand. She was still in tears. "This isn't a game anymore Hanna, I love you and that's the truth." She squeezed my hand and stood up. She left me at the brew. I didn't follow her, I knew she needed time to think.
I went to Spencer's house and Aria was already there. I told them what happened at the brew and what I told Hanna.
-Aria's POV-
It took some time for us to process Emily's confession. "So is that why you broke up with Paige?" she nodded. "Good thing she didn't drown you" Spencer said "Why would she even drown Emily? It was Hanna who got played. If there's someone who would want drown Em it'd Hanna. Sorry Em." I smiled apologetically at Emily. "I didn't tell her about Hanna. I told her that I was inlove with someone else but she did not know it was Hanna" Spencer had her detective look "So you're really inlove with Hanna?" Emily nodded. "How did Paige take it?" I don't know why I was concerned with Paige. "Aria! Our best friend just admitted that she loves Hanna for real" I saw the sorrow in Emily's face "Don't worry Em you'll get through this. I know Hanna loves you too." She forced a smile. "I have an idea!" Spencer shouted "You always do." Spencer spilled her genius plan.
The next day…
-Hanna's POV-
I wanted to skip classes to avoid Emily but it turns out she was the one who was avoiding me. "Have you seen Emily?" Aria said as she sat down the table. "No. She wasn't in class today" it's unlikely for her to skip classes. "Where could she be? I went by her house to pick her up this morning but her mom said that she already left for school. I tried calling her but I got nothing" Spencer sat beside Aria."Should we be worried?" Aria whispered loudly to Spencer "Don't worry about her. She may just be playing games with us" "Hanna!" both girls shrieked at me "how could you say that?" I wasn't angry at Emily but I wasn't happy with her either "She played heartbreaker with me and now she's playing hide and seek with you" I got up "or A could be the one playing 'Emily hunt' with us like how he played with you" I rolled my eyes and walked away. I hope it isn't A.
Emily didn't show up for the rest of the day. I was putting my books on the locker when someone called my phone. I looked at the caller ID and it was Emily. I didn't pick it up. I continued putting my stuffs away and slipped my phone to my pocket. I was at the parking lot when I received a text from A. It was a picture of Emily lying unconscious at the ground.
"She did not know how to play so I pulled the plug. Game over. -A"
