Sunday morning at the Field's residence.

Aria's POV*

I toss my bag into the backseat of my car close the door and walk to the house. I stop when Emily comes out the door carrying my robe. I say, "Oops. I thought I had everything." I take the robe as she hands it to me and put it in the car.

Emily backs me against the car as I turned around after closing the door. She hugs and kisses me quick before she says, "We have some time. I can't trust myself to not ravage your body if we go back inside so I suggest a walk in the park. We can stop for breakfast if you want. Also there may be the slight possibility of my burning the plastic bread bag and some of the bread when I started to cook breakfast, making the house uninhabitable."

I chuckle and ask, "Shouldn't we make sure everything is good first?"

She replies, "I took care of it. I opened some windows and turned on my mom's scented wax thing. Remind me to get some bread on the way back." As we start to walk.

I say, "Okay. How long have I been out here? You weren't cooking when I came out to put my bag in the car."

She answers, "Not long. It happened fast I turned on the stove turned to get the pan and smelled the plastic. I didn't even see the bread on the stove. Looks like we're both a little out of it this morning."

I laugh and say, "Well after the way you woke me up and the other activities. I am happy to be walking reasonably normal. I'm a little sore. I thought waking up having your arms around me was the best way to wake up but after what you did this morning I may have a new favorite. I'm still a little tinglingly."

Emily takes my hand in hers and we continue walking in comfortable silence.

We turn the corner onto the street of the restaurant and I ask, "Emily what was in that tea? I can't stop thinking about how naughty you were. It's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination just not your usual demeanor."

Emily says, "I'm not admitting to any incriminating activity but the naughty scale could be slightly unbalanced to my side."

I scoff and say, "Slightly unbalanced? Emily you broke that scale. But I'm not complaining. No need for a new one I concede to your superior naughtiness."

Emily says as we approach the door to The Applewood Grill, "Does that mean you are going to stop being naughty?"

I smile and say, "No. I will just no longer compare or attempt to one up. Stopping entirely would mean not being myself. You need to eat or something you're talking crazy again…" I open the door, step inside and Emily steps past me as I hold the door. She nods a thank you and answers the hostess by raising two fingers.

We follow the young girl to a booth near the back sit and pick up the menus.

*-*-*-*After breakfast.

Emily's POV*

Aria takes my hand as we walk and says, "I'm sorry that breakfast took so long. We can go for a walk in the park another time."

I squeeze her hand slightly and say, "It's not your fault. You're right a walk in the park is an anytime activity. Can I change your mind about being there when my parents get home? I understand why you think it's better to come over later but…"

Aria stops me and says, "Emily you are going to be so happy to see your dad, and I couldn't possibly want to take away from that. I didn't say this before but I am just a little, and I mean little, nervous about seeing your dad now that we are dating. I'm not sure I can take the, you're dating my daughter speech. I know I will have to sometime, he is a great dad I don't expect less from him, but I would like to delay it as long as I can."

I chuckle and say, "I thought I told you, I talked to him Thursday and told him about how you sang to me. I fibbed and said they had karaoke night at The Brew and he couldn't have been more agreeable after that, not to say he was disagreeable ever. I'm sure that you will get the nicest you're dating my daughter talk he has ever given…Now that I think about it, it will be his first too. Maya never said if she got one or not."

Aria says, "That doesn't help babe. Now I got the added pressure of being the first. Why would you tell me that? It's one thing that we've been best friends for the majority of our lives but why is it a different thing when romantic feelings are involved? I'm sure of one thing though…I love his daughter! So I guess all I have to do is be honest when it happens, 'Cept for the sex part. I sure hope he doesn't ask."

I stop walking pull her into a hug, kiss her and say, "I love you too. Aria I'm not always sure you know what you are saying but a lot of those times you say the sweetest things."

Aria kisses me before she says; "It's more like I think out loud than I don't know. I imagine that if I didn't do it my brain would burst, there is a lot spinning around up there. You know how to stop me at just the right time. You are so distinct with your sweetness. Another thing on the long list of stuff I admire about you."

We begin to walk again holding hands as I say, "Thank you. You make it easy for me to be sweet, not so much on knowing when to stop your verbal thoughts."

Aria laughs and says, "Finally I get blamed for something good."

I ignore her sarcastic comment and continue walking. I feel my arm pull behind me and realize Aria had stopped. I look back and she is pointing to the convenience store and says, "You forgot about the bread." I turn and pull her with me as I go into the store and jest, "No I was testing to see if you would."

*-*-*-*-*-*Sunday night at the Montgomery residence.

Aria's POV*

I see my phone light up and move on the desktop. I take off my headphones pick it up see Emily's picture and poke the answer button. As I lift it to my ear I hear her voice, "I'm really, really sorry. I know we planed on you coming over. I got caught up in catching up with dad and lost track of time. Forgive me?"

I smile and speak into the phone, "Emily I knew you would. No need for apologies. Really I Had lunch with mom, got my laundry done. I took care of some important business for tomorrow night. Then spent some quality time with my new computer and I love it. I can do so many cool things with music."

Emily's voice says, "You're not mad at me for forgetting you?"

I answer, "No. I had you all to myself for a week. You haven't seen your dad in how many months? Emily I totally understand and would be a lousy friend and a worse girlfriend if I were mad at you for spending time with your dad. It is sweet of you to think about me though."

Emily's voice says, "I did think of you today, a lot. You are so good to me. So how many songs did you write? I know how you get when you take to something new. Wait what important business? Please tell me. If it is what I think it is, I need to know."

I giggle as I turn off the computer. I stand and stretch as I say, "Emily tell me that you didn't. {We say together 'make reservations'} I continue, "Hold on a minute?" I set the phone down on the desk roll my neck and stretch again. I pick up the phone and step over to sit on the bed.

I put the phone to my ear and say, "Sorry needed to stretch. I just turned off my computer I will call the hotel in the morning. I started a song but didn't finish it. I mostly just figured out how the mixing worked. It's very cool you can hear what I have soon. I guess that we could ask Hanna or Spence if they want the extra room. If Hanna takes it we will request to be on a different floor."

Emily's voice says, "Good idea. It's too late to cancel anyway."

I say, "As much as I hate to end this call we should get some sleep. I hope it doesn't take me too long to get to sleep without you close to me." as I lie back on the bed and begin to caress my body wishing it was her.

Emily's voice, "I know the feeling. I look forward to hearing your music creations. I will dream about you. Good night I love you…oh and if you can't sleep send me a dirty text 'cause I will be awake touching myself thinking of you."

I laugh and say, "When did you move into my brain? Wait can you see me? Now we should just have phone sex. There is no way I will sleep with these images in my head."

Emily's laugh comes through the phone as she says, "I can't see you. Why what are you doing? We should ask Caleb to make the remote vibes work with the phone."

I say, "What a devilishly sexy idea, you continue to blindside with your naughtiness. I am trying to imitate the way you put me to sleep with your touch but it's not working."

Emily's voice comes through the phone a little deeper than usual, "Where is you hand? Mine is resting on the waistband of my panties. Does that new fancy computer have a camera? I want to watch you change into your sleeping attire as I slip it inside them."

I giggle and say, "It does but there is no attire to change into."

Emily's voice back to normal laughs and says, "I know that's why I want to watch."

I laugh and say, "Sorry to disappoint but I meant that I am already wearing my…your sleep shirt. I sort of borrowed it."

Emily's voice, "You are not very good at starting things over the phone. I just told you I'm masturbating and you talk about sleep shirts? You did suggest phone sex or were you just brain dumping and I missed it?"

I laugh and say, "I did but it just isn't close enough to the real thing to capture my full attention, no offence. It must just be that you satisfied me so well this morning. And last night, and…every time."

Her voice says, "Thanks. I get it. I'm not getting as excited as I do with you here."

I say, "I missed you today but in a good way. Thoughts of you would pop into my head out of nowhere and make me smile…to answer your next question only a few were naughty…" I hear her yawn causing me to also.

Her voice through the phone says, "I'm sorry. You aren't boring me. I guess I might sleep after all. I had a few pleasant flashes of you today too. We should go to sleep. Sweet dreams my love. I will see you tomorrow."

I reply, "Until tomorrow. Good night babe. I love you." I press the end call button set my phone in the charging dock and curl up with my pillow.

*-*-*-*-*-*Monday morning in Aria's bedroom.

Aria's POV*

I carefully slip my garter belt pantyhose on (Way more comfortable than the other type and faster to get on.) I stand and adjust them in the mirror. I reach for my panties debate with myself briefly and decide I better put them on and do so. I check the mirror to see if over the hose looks good. Satisfied with the look I pick up my dress step into it pull it up and slip my arms through the thin straps. I turn to the mirror again, adjust the dress and make sure my boobs are not visible. I play with my nipples to see if they show when hard. I test several body positions and bounce a few times. (Can't have any accidental appearances.) Happy to be able to go without a bra I walk over pick up my shoes step to sit in the desk chair and put them on. I hear my mom's voice and a knock on the door, "Can I come in?" I stand walk over open the door and say, "I'm ready. What do ya think?" I twirl around.

Mom says, "Aria you look very nice. You are ready early. I came up to remind you not to run off after the ceremony, it won't take long but is very important."

I reply, "I know mom. You have told me like ten times, be at Spencer's as soon as possible after the ceremony, but you won't tell me why. I thought we had the congratulations party last week so I can party with my friends today."

Mom replies, "Yes but things changed. All I can say is all of you have to be there. You can go celebrate soon after. You are just going to have to trust me. Now I don't want to upset you but I think you should know that your father is coming today…"

I interrupt her and say, "Why would that upset me. As long as he doesn't talk to me everything will be fine. I may find a way to forgive him in the future and I know how much he cares. I can't forbid him from watching me graduate but if he talks to me we will have problems. Mom I know that I was…"

She stops me gives me a hug and says, "I know honey. That is over now. It's not easy for me but I have to talk to him as a parent. You and Mike are old enough to decide on your own and that helps me more than you know. Today is a happy day so I will stop before the water works start. I'll go see if Mike is ready." We release the embrace and mom walks away.

I walk over pick up my phone put my left leg on the bed pull up my dress to expose my foe garter strap and snap a picture. I check the picture as I take my leg off the bed. I bring up the caption screen and type, "Just a little peek. See you soon. xox" I send the picture message to Emily pick up my sunglasses and nearly drop my phone when it vibrated as I went to put it in my pocket. I put my sunglasses in my hair as I look at the phone hit the read new message button with my thumb and read Emily's message, "You are such a TEASE. Stop please. I'm having enough trouble getting dressed." I sit on the bed and quickly type, "I'm gonna need proof of your nakedness ASAP." After a few minutes and no response I type, "I can come help if you want. I promise to be good." She responds with, "Very funny. Thanks I got it. See you soon." I push the sleep button and put the phone in my pocket having to stand to allow it to go all the way in. I check the mirror quick before I go downstairs.

I walk into the kitchen and say, "Morning Mike. Good there is coffee." I open the cupboard take out a mug close the door walk to the fridge and hit the ice lever in the door with the mug and get a few cubes. (Should be enough to prevent scalding my mouth.) I step over pick up the decanter and pour the mug nearly full of the life giving fluid. I set the decanter back in its place and ask, "Mike do you want any coffee?" He shakes his head not even looking up from reading the paper. I switch off the coffee maker pick up my mug and take a sip to make sure it is not too hot then drink close to half of the delicious coffee. I look up and see mom and say, "Thank you mom. You made my favorite coffee. I just turned it off so it's still be hot if you want some."

Mom replies, "You are welcome honey. I had some already thanks." I finish my coffee rinse my mug out and say, "I'm good now. Can we go? I want to get there early."

Mike puts the paper down and says, "Great. Not only do I have to go but now my suffrage is going to be extended?"

I stop my mom as she was about to talk and say, "I don't care if you go or not. Why am I even arguing? I can just take my car. Mom if I don't see you at the school I will see you at Spencer's love you. [I turn my head to Mike.] Bye jerk." I kiss mom on the cheek walk to the door take my keys off the hook and go out to my car.
