-Emily's POV-
The afternoon after that terrifying night the girls and I went to the brew to grab coffee. We saw Shana hanging up her phone, I know she was talking to Ali.
"Have you heard from her since?" Aria asked
"No" I answered looking at Shana. I wanted to talk to her and ask her about Ali.
"So is your dad going to be okay?" Spencer changed the topic
"They have to monitor his heart for a while but he'll be fine in the long run"
"You're staying with until he gets out of the hospital" Hanna said with command on her tone.
I saw Shana at school the next day and approached her "was it her on the phone last night?" she doesn't seem too pleased to talk to me "I don't know what you're talking about" she started to walk but I blocked her "I know it was Ali. How is she?" "If she wants to talk to you she'd contact you…oh! She did but you screwed it up. I'm going to be late" she pushed me to the side and went inside the school building. "What did she want from you?" Hanna said coming near me "try it the other way around" I sighed "got anything from her?" I just turned my head from side to side. "Look Em, I know we're not together anymore but I still care for you…as your best friend. I don't want you putting yourself in danger. We'll find and help Ali together; you, me, Aria and Spencer" her voice was serious "Thank you Han" I gave her a hug tighter than it should be and accidentally kissed her. Her eyes grew big. We were both surprised. What have you done Emily Fields? I screamed inside my head. "I'm late. I need to go. You should too" I quickly walked inside leaving Hanna still in state of shock.
-Hanna's POV-
Emily kissed me. It was a quick kiss more like our lips just brushed. It still feels so good. Her lips were so perfect when it connects to mine. "Hello! Earth to Hanna?" Aria waved her hand in front of me. "Where's Emily?" she asked when she saw that I'm mentally back to reality. "I don't know. She walked away fast as if A was chasing her this morning" She looked confused. "We kinda…kissed" "Whoa! Wait. What?" she has half smiling "It's not what you think. It was an accident. She was overwhelmed with what I said and she hugged and then that's what happened next" I stumbled on my words "So that explains." I noticed Spencer wasn't with us "So where's your girlfriend?" she stopped laughing "Just because you and Em happened that doesn't mean Spencer and I could. She said she feels ill and she'll stay at home" "Spencer Hastings missing a day of school? Somebody tell me this isn't the parallel world" we both laughed at it. I know Spencer wouldn't just miss school, she's up to something. I'll check on her later.
I searched for Emily on the pool and my instincts was right. "You know you shouldn't be swimming" She just reached the end of the pool and was startled by my presence. "I missed the water. You wouldn't tell anyone would you?" She was prohibited to swim so her shoulder would heal. It got damaged when she saved Aria and Mona from A. "No I won't but you have to help me. Get out off the water and get dressed. I'll meet you in the car"
"This feels like a stakeout" she whined "There is no coffee nor donuts ergo this is not a stakeout" I reasoned out "It's the fact that we're outside Spencer's house spying on her. Let's get out of here" maybe it was really wrong to spy on Spencer "Okay but only because I care about you. Dinner?" "I'm…meeting up with Paige for dinner" I feel like I was struck with lightning. "Oh" I drove slowly to the grille to drop her off. If only I could kidnap her so she can't meet with pigskin.
-Paige's POV-
I was sitting at the grille when I saw Emily going down Hanna's car.
"Hey" she said as she sat down.
"So your roommate was your chauffer?" I asked
"Yeah. We had to stop by at Spencer's before coming"
"Isn't it awkward? Sleeping in the same roof with your ex-girlfriend?" I said carefully trying not get her offended
"At first but it's all good now, it's not like we're doing anything. My dad's going to be out in a few days so I'll be back home by then" she answered without hesitation
"is she okay with this? Us, going out?" I tried to gauge her reaction
"I don't have to ask permission from her who I go out with. Besides this is just 2 friends having dinner."
"Em, you know I want to be more than that right?" I slowly spoke
"Paige, I…I can't be in a relationship right now. There's so much going on. Hanna…Ali…"
"Ali?" Why would Em consider her a problem
"It's complicated. What I need right now is a friend"
"Then a friend I will be" She smiled and ordered. We ate and continued our chitchat. I drove her to the Marin's residence."Hey by the way I saw you with Shana, is she being a 'friend' too?" I put emphasis on the word friend "No. I just had to ask her some stuffs" she replied and got off the car. I walked her to the door "I had fun tonight. Thanks Paige" she told me "I had fun too." I leaned in to kiss but failed when the front door opened.
-Hanna's POV-
I waited for Em to come home. I heard them talking on the door. Assuming what might Paige do to her I quickly opened the door. "Oh hey you're here. Hi Paige." I instantly greeted them and hooked my arm on Emily's. "Good night Emily and you too Hanna" clearly she was disappointed. "Good night" Em and I said in unison.
"Sorry about that" I said heading up the stairs
"About what?" she asked with genuine confusion
"Cockblocking Paige"
"Uhm. Wait..I…She.." she was lost at words
"No need to say anything Em" I said and headed for my room shutting the door loud
I couldn't help but feel jealous. I changed for something appropriate and took my coat. I'm planning on spending some time throwing off plates to the wall. My mom took me there once.
"You're getting dressed, going somewhere?"
"Yeah. Just…somewhere"
"What time will you be back" she started changing clothes and I couldn't help myself from looking
"I don't know. Late. Don't wait up"
"You wanted me here because you don't want me to be alone now you're leaving me all by myself?" she was quite annoyed of how I was answering her.
"I was all by myself a few hours ago" Now you lost it Hanna. Damn it! My mom was away for a business conference. So it's one of the reasons why I asked Em to stay with me.
"So what's this? Some payback? I think it's better if I just stay in my own house. There's no point of me staying here. We're not supposed to leave each other alone" her voice was starting to raise
"That's the whole point Em" mine started raising too
"So this is about my dinner with Paige. Are you jealous?"
"What? Me? Oh please. I don't give a flying crap about your little date."
"Then why are you acting like this?"
"Because you left me alone in here where A could have just treated me again and there you were having some good time with pigskin and almost making out on my front door. Happy now?"
"So this is about Paige trying to kiss me. You want it to be you?" her words didn't sound like her. She pushed me to the wall pinning my arms above my head.
"What are you waiting for Hanna Marin? Kiss me" I bit my lip and look at her eyes. It was sad and angry but if you look more closely there was still love…for me.
I crashed my lips to her and she pushed herself closer. I deepened the kiss the she gave in willingly. I loved how her body was leaned on mine. When I had to catch up some air she took off her oversized shirt that she just wore few minutes ago and went back kissing me. Her hands were on my hair and waist. I gathered all my strength and lifted her so her legs were tangled on my hips. I carried her to the bed. I placed kisses and marks on her neck. She would probably be wearing a big hickey the next morning but I didn't care. I want Paige to see it. I unclasped her bra and kissed her torso while groping on her breast, paying attention on both sides. I undressed myself so I was half naked like she was. She tried to shifted our position but I shook my head telling her she's to stay where she is. After some attempts she successfully toppled me down. She pulled away and looked at me with a smirk before going back on kissing me again. This is gonna be a long wild night.
