"I can not wait until tonight. I already have my outfit planned. Emily do you know what you're wearing?" Hanna sits on her bed and flips open a magazine. "Yea I do, it's nothing spectacular though just black jeans, a nice red top and my brand new shoes that Maya gave me last night for my birthday" Emily responds stretching out on the spare bed in Hanna's room.
"What are you wearing Han?" "I'm wearing a pair of denim skinny jeans, Printed Oxford Button-Down Shirt and a pair of black heels" she responds showing off her outfit to Emily. "That looks amazing." "I know right! I brought it yesterday at the mall."
"I'm so tired, I need to take a nap so that I can have lots of energy for tonight." "What time did you get home?" "About 15 minutes after you texted me. But I had to wake up extra early to go to the airport with my parents to drop off my dad."
"So how was your night with your girlfriend?" Hanna asks putting the magazine on her nightstand. "It was fun, I had an awesome night and Maya is not my girlfriend. We're just friends for now." "So what happened, what all did you do? Come on Emily lets have girl talk. I tell you lots of details about Caleb and I. Stop being so secretive" she says trying to encourage her friend to open up more.
"Alright Hanna" she responds giving in to Hanna's request. I'm not trying to be secretive it's just a natural reaction that I have, so don't take it personal." "Come on Em, spill it" Hanna playfully throws a pillow at Emily lying on the bed.
"We drove around down town for while then we went to her house. We talked, drunk a little alcohol and had sexy times" she states explaining her night to Hanna. "Ooh sexy times. So what do two girls do to each other? Was oral sex involved?" Emily looks at Hanna with a "really" expression on her face. "What do you think two girls do when they have sex Hanna? It's not our first time having sex with each other, well for me it was but not for her."
"I've heard about it but I've never had a best friend who was in a relationship with a girl so I want to know everything" Hanna exclaims bugged eyed. "Did she give you head or did you do her?" "Both, she did me first with whip cream and then I did her for the first time." "Damn really Emily so all the other times you did it, you never did her? That's balling, you are officially my Idol!" "I wouldn't necessarily call it balling, she only wanted me. That's all." Emily says with a chuckle. "Do you know how difficult it is to have a guy to that with nothing in return?" "Yea I know remember I dated guys before too and Ben was the same way."
"You want to see some pics of us that we took last night?" Emily reach out her left arm to give Hanna her phone. Hanna took the phone and studied the pictures on the screen. The first picture was of Maya and Emily cuddled up, Emily had her head on Maya's shoulder and Maya's head was placed on top of Emily's head. The second image showed Maya kissing Emily on her right cheek.
Hanna went to a third picture, "Oops Emily I'm sorry, I went too far" she says giving Emily back her phone. Trying to figure out what her friend was talking about, Emily looked at her phone and noticed that Hanna went to a picture of Maya dressed in lingerie that she sexted Emily a couple of days ago.
"It's ok Hanna" she saying smirking. Emily stares at the picture again admiring Maya's beautiful features and body, "did you like the picture?" "Yea she is very sexy" she stated truthfully. "You picked a good one."
"So did you like it for the first time?" "Surprisingly yes, it felt really natural." "How come she is not your girlfriend then? Are you scared of commitment?" "No it's just I don't know how to explain it to my family and I don't want to be judged or treated differently. My mom would probably have a heart attack if I told her I was dating girls" Emily laughs at the thought of her mom's reaction. "But I do want to take our friendship to the next level."
"Well sooner or later you will have to say something to your mom before she finds out through someone else." "Yea, you're right, I just have to gain the confidence and find the right time to inform her. I think my dad would be alright with it, I have a better relationship with him than my mom although we don't see each other as often."
"Speaking of your mom, did you ask her if you can spend the night?" "Yea I did and she said yes. I'm going to take a nap before we get ready for the party." Emily covers her body with a blanket and lays her head on the pillow, "are we still meeting up with Aria and Spencer at Spencer's house?" "Yea we are meeting up with them around 7:30. I cannot wait to go to this party, I have a feeling it will be a blast" Hanna replies smiling.
"Maya come on it's already 7 o'clock" Draya yells at Maya in frustration. "I know I'm sorry but I'm almost done" she says applying eyeliner to her right eye. "You always take forever to get ready. Ashlen and Christina are already there. They are waiting for us."
Maya walks out her adjacent bathroom, "Can you take a picture of me Draya before we go?" "You look pretty tonight, are you trying to get some phone numbers to take home?" she jokes before grabbing the camera off Maya's dresser.
"Pretty pic, come look at it." "No I don't like it, take another one." Draya snaps another picture, "this one is nice, see?" Draya hands the camera to Maya, "Yea I like this one, I'm ready now" she puts the camera back on the dresser. Draya and Maya grab their purses and walk out the door.
They pulled up just a couple of houses from Noel's house to park. "It looks pretty decent from what I see, you ready to go in Dray?" "Yea let's go."
"Draya, Maya we're over here!" Ashlen yells through the loud and crowded living room. "What's up Ash and Christina" Maya says running up to them extending her arms out for a hug. "We have drinks for the two of you" Christina hands them both a red plastic cup. "What going on ladies, I'm glad you can make it" Noel states smiling from ear to ear. "Hey Noel, nice party" Maya takes a sip of her beverage.
"Around 8 we will be testing the new product my brother brought. If you girls want to join we will be in the basement" Noel walks off to mingle with other party goers. "Hey the dance floor is looking inviting, would you like to dance Maya?" says a guy by the name of JR. "Sure." She gives Christina her drink and walks to the dance floor with JR.
Emily, Hanna, Aria and Spencer pull up to the party. "Is everyone ready to party, have fun and dance with some cute guys…or girls" Hanna shouts in excitement. "Of course, I've been ready all day for tonight. I'm single and ready to mingle" says Aria. "Are we ready to go inside?" Emily asks opening the passenger door. "Yea let's go inside" Spencer replies grabbing her purse before she opened the car door.
The four girls walk inside of Noel's house filled with party goers, red cups, and loud music.
C'mon 'cause I know what I like,
And you're looking just like my type,
Let's go for it just for tonight,
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Now don't even try to deny, We're both going home satisfied,
Let's go for it just for tonight, C'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
Emily observes the living room only to discover Maya dancing and grinding on some guy. "Hey, let's go get some drinks" Spencer and Aria follow alongside Hanna. "Emily? C'mon" Hanna grabs Emily's arm. "Em, what's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost" Hanna turns her head in the direction of Emily's. "What are you staring at?" she asks clueless. "Um, nothing let's just go get some drinks" Emily responds attempting to avoid the question.
"She looks exactly like the picture you showed me on your phone. Wait OMG is that Maya, Emily?" "Yea that's her, I'm surprised she is here. She didn't tell me she was coming here. C'mon let's get the drinks." Emily walks away, clearly a little annoyed by what she just seen.
"Emily how long are you going to sit here, watching her dance?" For the past 30 minutes Emily stood in one place eying Maya like a hawk. "Why don't you go say something to her" Aria suggests taking a sip of her wine cooler. "I'm not talking to her anymore, look at her over there dancing, grinding and carrying on with no care in the world" she takes a big gulp of the hurricane juice in her red cup. "You don't have to stay here with me, go enjoy the party" she tells the girls not wanting to ruin their night out.
Emily's POV
Coming to this party, I didn't know Maya was going to be here. How could she not tell me she was coming to a party at Noel's house? Doesn't she realize we attend the same high school? How absent minded can she be. The first thing I see when I enter the house is her on the dance floor grinding on some guy, how could she let him dance on her like that. I must admit watching her on the dance is really making me hot, the way she rolls her hips so seductively is very enticing and alluring to me. Which is why I'm so confused right now if I'm being honest. I'm really pissed at her for dancing up on so many dudes. Now she finally looks over and see's that I'm here too. Please don't walk over smiling like nothing is wrong?
"I think she is coming this way Em" says Spencer holding on to her wine cooler. "Ooh Emily she is, ok let's walk away to give them some privacy" Hanna replies. "No don't go anywhere" Emily interjects looking at her friends in desperation but it was too late. Before she knew it Maya was there and her friends walked away leaving her no choice but to talk to Maya.
"What's up Emily" says Maya smiling, "I'm surprised to see you here." Maya attempts to give Emily a hug and kiss, but she quickly shot her down by moving her head in the opposite direction. "Why would you be surprised to see me here? Noel is a classmate of mine. Don't you know we go to the same high school right?" "Yea you're right I don't know why I didn't think about that."
"So are you enjoying the party?" Maya asks sensing an attitude. "Is everything alright Emily?" Maya reaches out her arms attempting to hug Emily only to be brushed off by Emily walking pass her and out the back door.
Maya's POV
Ok what the hell was that!? What did I do to her? Last night we had an awesome time now today she is suddenly acting weird and having an attitude. Normally I wouldn't chase after another female but right now, I'm going to see what her problem is.
"Hey what's your problem, why did you just brush pass me like that? What did I do to you?" Maya demands walking up to Emily in the back yard. Luckily no one was out there but the two of them that made Emily more comfortable to express how she is feeling towards Maya out in the public.
"Maya what do you think?! The first thing I see when I enter the party is you grinding on random guys dancing on the dance floor with a skirt on like a slut?" Emily regrettably says. "Dancing like a slut? Really Emily, because you saw me dancing at a party you call me a slut?" "Ok let me explain something to you" Maya says walking up to Emily. "You're not my parent nor my girlfriend right? So how dare you get mad at me?"
A stunned Emily didn't respond to any of Maya's questions, she was frozen in place. "Are we still meeting up tomorrow or no? … Emily stood there in shock. "You're acting really immature right now" was the last words Emily heard Maya say before walked back inside the house clearly confused about Emily.
"Hey Maya, where were, are you ready to go?" Draya asks running into Maya in the kitchen. "I was looking all over for you. What's wrong with you?" Draya asks noticing a very upset Maya. "I'm sorry I was out in the back talking with Emily, let's get out of here." Maya and Draya walk to the front door and ditched the rest of the party.
Emily's POV
What was I thinking insulting Maya the way I did? The word blurted out of my mouth before I could stop myself; I didn't mean it. I don't know what I am doing, I'm starting to feel really confuse, why did I get so jealous seeing Maya dance with other people. She's right I'm not her mom or girlfriend, but I would really love to be her girlfriend. I was a coward to not ask her, instead I freaked and asked her if we could just be friends with benefits. I hope it's not too late to say sorry.
Emily wiped a tear from her eye and walked back inside the house to find her friends. Feeling emotionally drained and tired she was hoping her friends were ready to leave the party. "Are you all ready to go" Emily says entering into the living room. "Yea we are ready, would you like to drive Emily?" Hanna asks rambling inside her purse to retrieve her car keys. "Yea I don't mind" she replies grabbing the car keys. "Before you take Aria and I back to my house, can you stop at Taco Bell?" "Sure Spencer a chalupa sounds really good right now anyway."
Hanna and Emily made it to Hanna's house after dropping off Spencer and Aria. Hanna has noticed her friend's sad demeanor since they left the party. Emily is now getting ready for bed, she plugged her phone into the charger and grabbed her over night bag from the closet.
"Emily are you alright, how was your talk with Maya?" Hanna finally asks walking over to her dresser to get a pair of pajamas. "It didn't go so well, I think I made a mistake" she responds placing her overnight bag on the bed and grabbing her pajamas out. "Why, what happened?" she asks with a concerned look.
"I just over reacted seeing her dancing, and I called her a slut" she says with her voice breaking into a cry. Hanna walked over to Emily who was sitting on the bed with her face now buried in her hands crying. "I didn't mean to Hanna, I wasn't thinking clearly." Hanna grabbed Emily's head and pulled her into a hug with Emily crying onto her shoulder.
"Aw Emily, I'm sorry" Hanna felt really bad for Emily. It sucked to see her best friend so emotional and hurt over a mistake she made. Throughout all the years she has known her, Emily was never a rude or mean person to anyone. So for her to say that about Maya was something Hanna knew was a result of mixed feelings Emily must be feeling towards Maya.
"I know you didn't mean it Emily, it's going to be ok. Tomorrow try to meet with her so you can apologize for what you said, I'm sure she'll hear you out." Hanna gave Emily the best advice she could think of, she wanted Emily to resolve her issue with Maya because she knew Emily deep down had feelings for the girl.
Emily broke her emotional embrace from Hanna to wipe tears from her eyes with her hands. "That's the thing Hanna we were supposed to go out tomorrow, but I totally messed it up now. I just feel really bad, she might not want to talk to me anymore" Emily stated with the saddest eyes.
Hanna walked over to her nightstand to give Emily a couple of Kleenex. "If she cares about you then she will hear you out. Don't take no for an answer" she says giving Emily the Kleenex. Emily wiped her teary eyes and running nose. "I'm sorry your night didn't go so well. It's going to be alright Emily I promise" she says caressing Emily's back.
"I know, thank you Hanna for being here. I'm going to take a shower and try to go to sleep if I can." "Ok, wake me up if you can't sleep, we can stay up together until you fall asleep" Hanna replies watching Emily grab her pajamas. "Ok I will, thanks for being a good friend, sorry if I ruined your night" she says walking towards her phone. "Don't be silly Emily, I'm always here for you. What are you doing?" she asks noticing Emily texting.
"I'm sending Maya a text, I hope she responds. "I wouldn't feel right if I didn't try to make it right." Hanna got off the bed and walked over to Emily, "What did you text?" Emily showed Hanna the text.
Emily: Hey Maya can you please forgive me for what I've said to you. I was hoping we can meet up tonight so that I can explain myself.
Draya and Maya are sitting in front of Draya's house, after they left the party they decided to part ways for the night. "Tonight was unexpected, Emily snapped out on me for no reason" Maya explains to her friend in the passenger seat. "Wait what? Why? That doesn't sound like Emily at all. At school she is a really nice girl" Draya responds with a worried face.
"I was caught off guard the entire time. I saw her at the party so I went to talk to her after I was dancing" Maya explained the confrontation she had with Emily. "Wow! She called you a slut. That's crazy, maybe she's a little jealous because you weren't paying her any attention at the party" Draya suggests. "Ok I can understand that, but I didn't know she was coming" Maya says laughing. "For me its different ways she could've went about the situation. I could've went there with her as well, but I didn't" Maya counters back.
"Didn't I warn you that someone was going to catch feelings? Friends with benefits is always a no no." "I know that, I guess I wasn't thinking clearly" she admitted.
"In all honesty, I was thinking about asking her to be my girlfriend" she stated with sad eyes. "Maybe we moved too fast, I shouldn't have been having sex with her, I let my stupid hormones get in the way" she says placing her head on the steering wheel in regret.
"She could be the type of girl who isn't in tune with her emotions and that's good you didn't take it personal. Tomorrow maybe she will explain her actions, you will have to hear her out though. You can't do the ignore technique you always do when you're in a relationship." "What are you talking about Draya what ignore technique?" Maya asks looking confuse.
Draya gives her friend an expression that showcased Maya knew exactly what she was referring to, "You know every time you have a conflict or argument with someone you're dating, you ignore them until it benefits you." "All I'm saying is give her a chance to explain herself, I like you guys together so I hope y'all get to the bottom of whatever it is that's going on. I'm going to go inside now, are you alright?" Draya ask before she opened the passenger door. "Yea I'm good, I'm going to go home I guess" she says reaching for her smart phone.
"Speaking of the devil, she just texted me", Maya replies reading Emily's text. "OK the night has just gotten better", Draya is now focused on the text message, "let me read it." Maya hands over her Samsung smartphone to Draya so she can read the text. "Are you going to see her?" Draya asks giving Maya back her phone.
"Ugh no I'm not going to see her and she can take a hike for all I care" Maya lashes out. "See Maya that's exactly what I was talking about" Draya burst out calling her friend out on her behavior. "You can't do people like that. Just give her a chance to explain herself, I know you like her a lot; I can tell. You talk about this girl 24/7."
"What! No I do not" Maya shouts in denial. "Really Maya? You want to go there? Emily is a good girl, don't give up on her because I'll take her if you don't." Maya knew exactly what Draya was saying, she really did like Emily a lot. The only thing standing in her way was her own pride; her main flaw is rejection.
"I'm going to send her a reply. She's lucky you're my best friend." "No Maya, you're lucky you have me as a best friend. I don't want you to miss out on a good thing, so you need to stop playing so hard to get" Draya explains watching Maya send a text message to Emily.
Maya: Ok, we can talk. I'm out driving so I can come to you. Where are you?
"I'm going to go inside now Maya." "Ok see you later and thanks for tonight." Maya watched as Draya got inside her house safely and several seconds later Emily texted Maya Hanna's address.
After Emily sent Maya her text, she wait five minutes constantly checking her phone but no response so she decided to take her shower. Walking back into the room Emily heard her incoming text alert, she quickly ran over to the nightstand and grabbed her phone. "She text me back Hanna!" Emily stated with a big smile on her face. "She said she's on her way" Emily breathed with a sign of relief. "I'm going to put some clothes on" she snatched her overnight bag open and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
Before heading out the door Emily put on her gym shoes, "Hey is it weird that I'm wearing the shoes she brought me?" "No I don't think so. Maybe she'll take it as a form of flattery" she replies running out of suggestions.
"Hey Maya" she says sitting in the passenger seat. "Hey, what did you want to talk about?" she replied playing a game on her phone not paying Emily no attention. "I wanted to apologize for my behavior and calling you a slut tonight" she says with her eyes glued to Maya's brown face. "I didn't mean it, I guess my emotions are stronger than I thought" she stated hoping Maya would give her some kind of reaction.
"Maya?" Maya took her eyes off of her phone and looked Emily in her eyes, "I don't understand how we ended up with you flipping out on me like you did. Everything was going good between us I thought especially after Friday night." "I understand and I agree with you. When I saw you dancing and grinding on those guys at the party, I felt like you were ignoring me."
"Frist, I was at a party dancing; that's what you do at parties Emily" she stated sarcastically. "Secondly, I didn't know you were there. Did you call me to tell me you were going to Noel's? The only thing you told me was that you were hanging out with your friends tonight?"
Emily shook her head in shame understanding that she made a fool of herself tonight. "Listen Maya I admit I got a little jealous. I apologize again for ruining your night and I understand if you don't want to see or talk to me" she replied reaching for the car door handle.
Maya grabbed Emily's arm to get her attention again, she didn't want Emily to leave just yet, "Emily I'm not mad at you ok. But maybe we should take things slow and get to know each other a little more. But we can still hang out tomorrow."
"That sounds like a plan, I can deal with that" she replied thankful that Maya didn't cancel their Sunday plans. "So, I'll see you tomorrow", Emily parted ways with Maya and headed back to Hanna's house.
Maya's POV
It's almost 2:00 which means that I have less than 40 minutes to pick up Emily for our date. Well not "date" but a friendly girl's day out. It could've been a date but Emily spoiled it for us by her immature behavior last night. I had a very special day planned out that included sexy times as well plus I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend tonight; but those plans are cancelled for right now. Today we are going to the theaters and back to my house to hang some more.
Maya had on a pair of tight denim jeans, a long sleeve pink blouse and a pair of black uggs, she applied her mac lip gloss before grabbing her purse and a light leather jacket. The weather was slowly changing into fall in the middle of November.
Maya walked down the stairs to find Marie on the couch reading the New York Times, "Hey mom." "Hi sweetie, where are you off to?" she inquires noticing her daughters outfit. "I'm on my way to the movies with a friend" she replied placing a peck on her mother's right check. "Who are you going to the show with, Draya?"
"No just a friend I met at the Y, nothing serious" she responded checking herself out in the mirror placed on the way behind the couch. "Will you be home for dinner?" "Yes I'll be back in a couple of hours and I'm bringing Emily back with me" she stated grabbing her car keys off the end table next to the love seat. "Emily?" "Yes the friend I'm going to the movies with. I have to go I'm late, I'll see you later mom love you" she waved at her mom and jogged to the front door.
"The movie starts at 3:00 and we have less than 10 minutes to get there" Maya told Emily as she accelerated on the gas switching lanes on the expressway. "We'll get there in time, Maya don't worry you'll see the trailers." Maya told Emily how much she likes to catch the movie trailers before the feature presentation started about 3 times today leading up to this moment.
They entered the garage with a few parking selections. The parking garage on average was vacant than it usually is on a Sunday afternoon. They pulled into a parking spot a couple of feet from the parking garage elevators. "It's pretty empty, I picked the best time to come to the movies" Maya said smiling waiting on the elevator doors to open.
Two hours later Emily and Maya walked backed to the parking garage, smiling and chatting about the movie they have just seen. "I love this song", Emily exclaimed turning the volume on Maya's stereo system up. Danity Kane's "Damaged" was blasting through the speakers. "I do too, I actually went to their concert a couple of years ago." "You did? How did you like it? I wanted to go so bad but my mom wouldn't buy the tickets for me" Emily responded. "I had a blast, if you re-watch one of the episodes you will see me walking pass with Draya" Maya stated musing over one of the best nights of her life. "I brought about two t-shirts too. Sorry your mom wouldn't let you go" she said rubbing Emily's left arm.
Maya unlocked her front door smelling the aroma of Sunday dinner being prepared by her mother. "It smells good, is your mom home?" "Yes she is in the kitchen cooking, you want to meet her?" "Sure."
"Hey mom I'm back" Maya announced walking into the kitchen. "I want to introduce you to Emily." "Hello Mrs. Saint Germain, it's nice to meet you" Emily says shaking Maya's mother' hand. "It nice to meet you too Emily. You are a very pretty girl." "Thank you Mrs. Saint Germain." "You can call me Ms. Marie alright honey."
"Dinner will be ready in about an hour, are you staying for dinner Emily? I have enough food if you are." "I would love to stay, if it's ok with Maya" Emily replies looking over at Maya. "If it's ok with me then its ok with Maya" Marie interjected. "Alright then I guess that settles it" says Maya grabbing two bottle waters out of the refrigerator.
"I look forward to the food. Its smell's really good by the way." "Thanks sweetie, I'm trying to convince Maya to help with me Thanksgiving dinner. She needs to learn some good home cooking meals when she becomes a wife and mother" Marie says smiling at Emily.
Maya interrupted their conversation because she knew her mom was on the verge of talking Emily's ear off. "Mom we are going to my room, see you later" she said as they walked out the kitchen and up the stairs.
