Hey guys, sorry for the wait. I hope you guys continue to read the story. I have changed a couple of things so I hope y'all are not mad about that. I'm open to reviews, ideas and suggestions.
Ch. 5
A week later…
"Hey what's up girls" Emily greets her group of friends. "Hey Em" they all reply. "I'm so happy its lunch you guys, I haven't eaten all day" says Aria taking a bite of her banana. "I heard bananas are a good thing to eat if you like to masturbate a lot" Hanna informs the girls. Aria, Emily, and Spencer looks up at her with clueless eyes. "Who told you that silly information Hanna", Spencer asks taking a sip of her bottle water. "Caleb told me that bananas have a lot of potassium which is good for your hands because they won't get exhausted so quickly. I mean, I don't know how true it is, I'm just saying" she says shrugging her shoulders. Spencer looks at her with disbelief and utters, "Your actually right bananas are great at protecting against muscle's cramps."
"Emily how are you feeling since the whole situation with Ben happened?" Aria asks changing the subject. "I'm good actually, I feel better than ever." "Yes you do look better", Spencer takes a gulp of her coffee, "for some reason you have a glow Em I guess the break up did you well." "Well I'll take that as a compliment" Emily flips her hair behind her shoulder. "Now that I think about it that explains his low performing sex drive. He couldn't last 15 minutes." The three girls laugh hysterically at Emily's comment. "Wow Emily, I never thought in a million years I would hear something like that come out of your mouth" says Spencer. "Hey I'm just being honest, I'm glad we're not together anymore. I feel free and happier.
"What are your plans for your birthday this Friday?" Aria takes out her lip gloss to apply "are you excited about turning 17." "My dad is coming back for the day so we all will go out to dinner and a movie that evening." "Well Saturday since it's your birthday and Noel is throwing a party we wanted to know if you would like to go?" "Yea that sounds fun Hanna, I'm game. I'll see you guys after school, I need to go to the lab, and I have to meet with my group to work on our project." "Ok see you later."
While walking to the Lab, Emily takes out her phone to text Maya.
Emily: Hey Maya, what are you doing after school?
"Ok girls if you need any help with your research papers come see me after advisory ends at 1:00. No loud music on the laptop Maya" says her advisory teacher, Mr. McCain sternly.
Geez it's not that loud, he gets on my nerves sometimes.
"Hey Maya did you bring any magazines today?" a blonde girl name sits next to her. "Yea I brought some Ashlen", Maya goes in her bag and gives a Cosmo issue to her. "After her can I read your Cosmo?" asks a black girl with dark brown skin. "I have a Seventeen magazine that you can read Christina, here you go." In her senior class Maya was the girl who everyone came to when they needed music and magazines.
"What's been going on Maya, I missed you this weekend I thought you were attending Noel's party. Christina frantically flips through the pages of the Seventeen mag, "Draya was there too I for sure thought you were going to come with her." "I was supposed to go to the party with her, but I wasn't feeling well. I heard the party was jumping." "Yes it was and it was a lot of people there too."
"Figures Noel is acquainted with everyone it seems." "Hey didn't you guys used to hook up or at least there were a lot of rumors going on about you two." "I've heard that before too" Ashlen adds. "No I never hooked up with him before, we rolled tight because we did a lot of smoking and partying together. That's about it. Are you guys working on college apps?" "So far I have The University of Chicago, Columbia, and I have some more colleges that I'm thinking about" Christina replies.
"I'm thinking about Northern Illinois University, Columbia, and Southern Illinois University. Ashlen gives Maya back her Cosmo, "If I don't have enough financial aid then I'm not sure about going out of state." "I applied to UIC, Purdue and NIU. I'm doing a couple of more when I get home too. I cannot wait until 1 o'clock so I can get out of here" Maya states frustrated at her teacher.
"Its 12:50 and the rest of the seniors are already out of their advisory, Ashlen folds her arms in frustration. "Why do we have to wait until 1, gosh Mr. McCain gets on my nerves" "For him to be so fine he is very irritating at times", Maya replies getting up to look out the window.
Maya feels her phone vibrate with an incoming text.
Maya: Hey You! I'm free this afternoon. What do you have in mind?
Emily: How would you like to play a one on one at the Y?
Maya: Yea of course I'm down. I haven't beaten your ass in ball in while lol.
Emily: Well it's payback time today so I hope you bring you're a game! Meet up at 3?
Maya: 3 is fine.
After advisory is over, Maya walks to her locker to retrieve some of her books for homework. A lustfully caramel skin black girl who has just walked up to her locker, "Hey Maya." "What's up Shannon" not really interested in having a conversation with the girl. "I haven't seen you in a while" Shannon tucks on to Maya jeans want to come over?"
Maya kindly pushes her hand away and declines the invite. "I have to work on some college apps so I don't have the time and to be frank what we had going on I'm not interested in that anymore. "Please don't take it personal", she brushes pass Shannon and walks down the hall.
"C'mon Emily you got to stick D. You are giving me too much space, Maya hits a long two pointer over Emily, "that's why you're losing." "Get your head in the game" she bounces the ball to Emily. "Hold on can we take a timeout, I need a break for a minute." Maya wipes her forehead, "Okay let's go sit on the bench." "When you shoot your 3's you need to work on your emphasis when you release the ball. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart" Maya demonstrates shooting a three pointer, "your shoulders should also be squared to the basket as you prepare to shoot Emily."
Emily takes a sip of her PowerAde, "Are you going to teach me?" "What do I get, what's in it for me" she asks in a seductive tone. "Well um, I don't know. What do you want in return?" "I'll tell you later, but right now let's practice your three pointers.
Your gym shoes need to be tied up, I'll do it for it", she bends down in front of Maya to tie her shoelaces. "What kind of shoes do you have on Maya?" She looks down to Emily and tells her that the shoes are Jordan's. "I can buy you a pair, what size do you wear?" "I'm a size 7 but I can't allow you to buy me some shoes, I wouldn't feel right. Especially Air Jordan's, those shoes are too expensive."
"It's ok, it won't hurt my pockets, but you want have to worry about that because I wear a size 7 too so I can just give you a pair of mines" she gets up to kiss Emily on the forehead. "That's a deal ok", she pulls Emily up by her arms "now c'mon so I can help you with your three pointers."
"Thanks for helping me with my shooting, I feel more confident when I shoot now." "You're welcome now maybe I can have some better competition. Don't get it twisted you still need some practice" she says slapping Emily on the ass. "Hey who told you to do that" Emily says giggling slapping Maya back on the ass. "Come with me to the girl's locker room so we can shower and get dressed" Maya proposes.
"I feel so much better after the shower; I'm surprised no one is here." "Yea we picked the perfect time to come to the gym Emily." Maya observes the locker room and notices a vacant room near the end of the lockers, "let's go over here." Emily gets up and looks around curiously, "Over where?" "This room right here c'mon lets go."
She grabs Emily by the hand and they begin to walk over to the secret compartment door. Maya flicks the light switch and close the door behind Emily. "Ok so what are we doing in here Maya?" She gives Emily a mischievous smile, walks up to her and kisses her on the mouth, "What do you think?"
"Um, that was sweet, I like that you're a very good kisser" Emily giggles and gives her a single lip kiss taking one of Maya's lips between her's and gently sucks on it. Maya takes Emily body and sits her on a chair near the corner of the room. Maya sits on top of Emily and begins to straddle her hips while they make out. Her hands began rubbing Maya's nipples gently above her bra, a groan escaped her lips Maya's mouth. Maya starts to suck on her neck causing Emily to moan as she took off Maya's bra. She began to fondle and caress her breast.
Enjoying every bit of Emily's actions she asks, "You like what you see?" Emily looks deep into her eyes, "I can show you better than I can tell you." She licks her right nipple for a lifetime it seems, sending shock waves through Maya's body.
Damn this feels so good, all the times I've had my nipples licked nothing has come close to this. I guess she knows what she is doing.
"Aw shit Emily that feels so good", Maya whispers not wanting Emily to stop because she can feel an orgasm coming on. "But we should go before someone comes in." "Yea we should go, I need to get home to do homework anyway" she says getting back to her senses. "I need to work on some college essays too." Maya gets up and puts her bra on, "Can you snap my bra for me Emily?" Without hesitation Emily does what she is asked, "You have a really nice rack Maya." "Thanks Em."
"By the way I brought you something, its inside my gym bag" almost forgetting that she brought one of her iPods to give to Emily. Both girls walk back to the locker room bench to grab their gym bags. Maya reaches in her gym bag to get the iPod. "Here I put a couple of play lists that I love and I think you would enjoy."
Emily takes the iPod in disbelief, "Thank you so much"; totally surprised by Maya's gift she gives her a hug. Examining it Emily hated to ask but she couldn't resist, "Is this new?" "No its not new, I just rarely used it, "Maya responds laughing at Emily's question.
She walks up to Emily and places a kiss on her lips. "It's ok Emily you can have it, my father brought me a new one not too long ago. So I won't be missing it at all."
Before they part ways Emily decides to ask Maya something that has been on her mind. "Should I tell my friends about us? I don't like to keep big secrets like this from my friends and I wouldn't want them to find out about us from someone else seeing us together." Maya drops her bag and sits on the bench, "I was thinking the same thing; I guess it's best to tell our friends about it to avoid any awkwardness or mysterious outings.
The day I met up with Draya at y'all school, I had no idea you guys knew each other so I was shocked when she started to speak to you in the parking lot. She asked me if I thought you were attractive and I was trying so hard to act normal so she wouldn't pick up any weirdness. But I didn't want to say too much because this is our secret thing but now that we agree on telling our friends I can't wait to tell her."
"Draya is cool, she is in my history class, how did you guys meet?" "She attended the same school as me and then she had to transfer due to some personal issues. We've been friends since freshman year, she's my best friend.
Who are your friends besides the Hanna girl you have mentioned before?" "Spencer and Aria; all four of us are really close, I would love for you to meet them." "Well maybe one day we can make that happen. So how do you think your friends will feel about us being friends?" "I think they will be excited about it – at least I'm hoping they will. That's why I want to tell them as soon as possible." Maya receives a text from her mom.
"Are you ready to leave its 5:00 already and I'm starving my mom is taking me out to dinner so I need to get home and change. I'll call you or text you tonight" she states giving her a kiss on the lips. "Alright text me later" she watches Maya switch out the locker totally focused on her ass she bites her lower lip. Emily reaches in her bag to grab her cell phone because she forgot she powered it off. Three missed calls and 4 unread messages. She totally forgot that she was meeting the girls today after school to hang out and do homework; she places a phone call to Spencer.
"Hey Spencer, sorry I forgot we were meeting up after school. Are Aria and Hanna with you?" "Yes Emily where were you, we called and texted but no reply." "Yea I'm sorry guys; I forgot I turned by phone off while I was at the gym." "You have been spending a lot of time in the gym lately. Are you really at the gym or doing something else?"
Emily laughs at the question, "Of course I'm at the gym, and I wouldn't lie about that. But it is something that I want to tell you, Aria and Hanna. I'm on my way to your house now." "Ok see you soon." Emily leaves the gym and gets in her car to go to Spencer's house. She is half anxious and nervous to tell her friends about Maya.
"Who was that you were talking to Spence?" Hanna asked being nosy and taking a bite of Doritos. "That was Emily, she says she has something to tell us" Spencer says walking back to the living room to sit on the couch. "Something to tell us, like what" asks Aria channel surfing finally landing on MTV. "I guess we will find out when she gets here Aria what are we watching?" "True Life Spencer, it just came on" Hanna responds simultaneously as Emily walks inside the Hastings house. "Hey guys, sorry for flaking out but I'm here."
"You bet your ass you're sorry, where were you?" Hanna asks looking over the couch watching Emily take her jacket off. "I was at the gym Spencer didn't tell you guys", she responds looking at Spencer. "Hey they didn't asked plus I forgot all about that when you stated you had something to tell us", Spencer answers feeling all eyes on her. "Oh yea that rights Em" Hanna utters patting the couch next to her so that Emily can sit down. "So what do you have to tell us, and it better be juicy."
Emily looks at her friends who are now looking at her waiting for the news like a dog preparing to eat a steak. Not wanting to drag the moment out she quickly tell the girls her secret. "So ok I have been spending a lot of time with someone new." "Someone new like whom, do we know him" Aria asks interrupting Emily.
"Um no you don't know this person, and …. It's not a him…. It's a her." Aria, Hanna and Spencer's eyes grew big and they let out a big gasps. "OMG are you serious Emily, you're totally playing right?" Hanna asks. "No I'm not playing, I'm for real" she says looking at each girl in the eye.
"That's why I have been at the gym lately—"Wait, wait who is this girl and how did you meet her?" Spencer exclaimed, interrupting Emily focused on the story and wanting to know. "It was actually that day I was trying to get you, Spencer, to go to the gym with me remember?"
"So I actually have you to thank for me meeting her I guess" she says with a smile. She plays basketball also and we both were shooting hoops in the gym alone. She came over to introduce herself and we played a one on one game. Before we left she asked for my number, I didn't really think anything of it but she was strikingly beautiful from the first time I laid eyes on her."
"We started texting back and forth one night when I was staying over Hanna's." "That's why you were acting so weird that night you came home and I asked where you were at?" Hanna asked surprised that she missed the sign. Emily starting laughing, feeling the nervousness go away.
"Yea that was that night I went to see her, I didn't want to say anything because I didn't know what to say. Don't be mad ok you guys" she says looking at her friends. "We would never be mad at you for not telling us right away, Em. By the way we would never judge you or treat you any different because you like girls" Aria says.
"So what is your sexual orientation, you still like boys' right?" Hanna asks. "Hanna don't be stupid she is bisexual of course", Spencer interrupts rolling her eyes at the question. "Yes Hanna I guess you can say I'm bisexual." "What is this girl's name?" Spencer asks. "Yes give us the 411 Em!" Hanna states eagerly.
"Well we are not together, we are just friends for now and her name is Maya she just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago in fact. She is a senior at St. Mary's." "How come y'all are just friends?" Aria asked intrigued by their status. "Well one night when I invited her over, I decided that we should be friends because I'm not comfortable with telling my mom and she agreed because she is graduating this year so we didn't want any attached feelings happening." "Ok that's understandable" she responds grabbing a handful of Dorito's that's on the table.
"So did you guys start on homework yet?" Emily asks opening up her book bag to get her books out. "Well we waited on you to start Algebra since all three of us are in the same class but Hanna and I did our biology homework already" Aria responded flipping her math book open. "Spencer are you still going to help us with our math like you promised", Hanna asked. "Yea I'm just waiting on you guys", she says turning off the television to focus her attention on the girls.
"Mom where are we going for dinner?" "I was thinking Leona's, Mellow Yellow or Giordano's." "Mom I'm getting tired of pizza so maybe we can settle for Mellow Yellow."
Maya and her mother, Marie, drive, park and walk inside the restaurant in the Hyde Park neighborhood. "The name and how many for the party please", the hostess asks. "Saint-Germain party of two, preferable a booth please", Marie responds and the hostess walk them over to their booth and gives them a menu before walking off.
"Maya what are you having and please don't say a burger" her mom says looking through the various meals. "What mom it's my favorite, you can't go wrong with a burger" she responds laughing at her mother's facial expression "but I'll get something else this time chica" she states joking with her mother.
"Have you two ladies decided on what you're going to order" the waiter asks. "I'll have the Steak and shrimp dinner with a coke please." "I'll have what she ordered with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables and a lemonade" her mother says giving the waiter the menu.
"Mom how was work today?" "It was busy and hectic as usual, lots of meetings. How was school sweetie?" "School was alright, as a matter of fact when we get home I need to work on the rest of my college applications." "How do you feel about graduating high school and going away to college?" "You know mom, it hasn't really set in yet since I haven't gotten any acceptance letters.
But I can't wait to go to college once I get accepted. I really want to get into NIU so that I can be close but yet not too far away from home. I need you to look over my essay when we get home because I want to send my application in the morning." "Yea I'll proof read it for you baby, ooh the food is here" Marie says smiling as the waiter arrives with the two meals. "Enjoy the meals."
