"The New Girl"

Thanks for all those reviews! I'm thrilled to have so many in such a short time!

To the reviewer who requested an Emaya G!P Fanfiction, I had no idea what that was so I had to ask someone. I'm so naïve! I think their story is beautiful the way it is ;)

If I feel differently in the future, you'll know! ;)

Rated T for Teen.

Maya gets back in her car and off we go to The Brew and then the lake on our first official outing together…with Hanna.

Sad face…

Chapter 4: The Lake

Emily POV

I'm very quiet when we arrive at The Brew. I guess I'm more disappointed than I thought I would be. I feel bad too because I adore Hanna! But today, today, I was supposed to adore Maya. Only Maya!

Hanna is chatting up a storm capturing Maya's full attention. They're laughing and carrying on while I throw in a fake laugh here and there. I sip my latte and pretend to care…

"I'm going to the girls' room before we leave. Does anyone have to go?" Hanna asks. Don't fall in! On second thought…

"Can you manage on your own?" Maya laughs.

"Yes I can. I don't need a buddy, this time," she smirks as she gets up to leave the table. Finally, alone!

"Hey Em, you're kinda quiet? Is everything alright?" Maya asks placing her hand over my forearm squeezing gently. Goosebumps travel up and down my arm from her touch. I'm mesmerized by her smile and the kindness in her eyes and then she winks snapping me out of it, giving me one last squeeze before she takes her hand away. Maya, please don't! I want your hand there! I want your hand everywhere!

"I'm just a little tired I guess but I'll be fine as soon as we get to the lake."

"Oh yeah, why's that?" she takes a sip from her cup. Why can't I be that cup!

I'm feeling the warmth return to my body now that I have a few minutes of alone time with Maya.

"I need to swim. I didn't do as much as I would have liked in Texas. I miss it."

"Well, make sure you save a swim for me," she winks and sips. I flit, I flutter.

I slip out of the booth as Hanna returns, "Are you sure you can keep up?"

"Keep up with what?" Hanna asks interrupting our conversation.

"Nothing, let's just get going so we can get a good spot," I walk away a few steps ahead of them but within earshot peeking over my shoulder to see her reaction.

"That was weird," Hanna remarks.

"No, that was a challenge," Maya gets up, tosses her cup and saunters towards me almost daring me to look away. My head drops and with it my big shy smile. What is wrong with me! Girl, get a grip!

Maya finds a great parking space that won't get us blocked in when we decide to leave. She shuts off the engine, gets out, and pushes her seat forward holding her hand out for me, "Ready babe." What? What did she call me? Babe! Oh my god! Did she really just call me babe!

I do a sort of parted lips kind of smile cuz I have to take a breath to calm myself. When I take her hand, our eyes lock and it's as if Hanna is a figment of my imagination. I just wish she actually was!

I'm so entranced by her soft brown eyes I'm not paying attention to my feet. It's as if on cue, I stumble out of the car into her arms. Oh my god! What do I do!

I don't need to wonder because I can hear Hanna cackling, "Bah ha ha ha! Nice trip Em!"

I'm completely embarrassed. And I'm still in her arms and I don't know what to do. And she's not letting go!

She helps me regain my balance, "Em, are you okay?" she says with her silky sweet Maya voice. I am now.

"I'm fine, really, just a little embarrassed, that's all."

"Aww, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've flipped then flopped a few times myself." We laugh and it feels really good and I don't feel embarrassed anymore. And then she says, "You can count on me to catch you if you ever fall again. Mwah!" She mwahs! I melt! Happy face! I don't know how she does it but she does!

We find a great place by the lake with some big rocks hiding us somewhat. We lay out the blanket for all of us to share. Maya lays her towel on the end and as I'm getting mine out of my bag Hanna lays hers down next to Maya's! What the panty blocker!

I lay my towel down on the other side of Hanna. I pull off my tank top. I shimmy out of my shorts. And grab my goggles.

There's a barrage of whistles from a bunch of horny high school boys but the only person I want to notice me isn't…

"Going swimming already? Don't worry Em I'll keep Maya company. She won't even know you're gone," she laughs. So not funny!

I just walk away blocking everything out but the water in front of me.

"Em, want some company?" Maya yells but I'm in a zone. I need to be alone.

Maya POV

"Hanna, is she okay?" I ask not so sure if she is emotionally, but physically I think she's just fine.

"Who? Emily? Of course she's okay. She would choose water over you or anyone any day." Really?

"Oh. I didn't realize." Too bad.

"Don't worry about it. Emily is one with the water like Spencer is one with Alex and I'm one with Caleb. Who are you one with?" She asks seemingly innocently but something tells me Hanna knows exactly what she's doing.

"No one." At least not anymore.

"Girl, we need to find you a buddy, if you know what I mean! Ha ha!" I thought I had one if you know what I mean!

"Wow, she's going out far!"

"She always does. I think she likes the solitude. I told you she's one with the water."

"But I thought Spencer said something about a boyfriend."

"Ben? More like swim pal. She was never one with him." Good to know.

"What do you mean?"

"She was with him but she wasn't. You could tell her heart wasn't in it. She wasted almost a year of making out with someone she wasn't really attracted to." Hmmm.

"Really? That's quite a commitment for someone who wasn't really into it."

"No shit! Right! I told her so many times get rid of him! She needs someone who makes her tingle all over and Ben definitely didn't do that!" Tingle all over. One with…

We continue getting to know each other as we apply sunscreen helping each other with our backs getting whistles and invitations for threesomes. Guys can be such jerks!

She tells me about her and Caleb. They sound solid just like Spencer and Alex. I'm happy for her and for Spencer. I've played around a lot and I'd kinda like to know what that's like, to be one with…

"Hanna, she's been out there a couple hours. How the hell does she do it?"

"She's fine."

"But the sun's been beating the hell out of her."

"I'm telling you, she's fine."

"I'm not so sure. Maybe we should go check on her." We really should go check on her.

"You mean actually go in the lake?"

"Ahh, yeah?"

"No fucking way! You can't see the bottom! That's so gross!"

"Well, I'm going to make sure she's okay," I get up half expecting Hanna to change her mind.

"Have at it. Hey there's Mona, catch ya later!" She's a piece of work! I have to laugh to myself cuz, I mean, how can you not like Hanna!

I stroll towards the water to a chorus of more whistles and hey mamas. Assholes. I walk into the lake, deeper and deeper. I dive. I swim out to Emily.

I finally reach her. She just changed direction and is swimming back towards me. She's using long graceful strokes. Her body is a vessel of elegance. I lose myself in her beauty until her arm cuts through the water splashing me! I wipe the excess water out of my eyes and swim after her. I haven't been out as long as she has so I'm able to catch up easily. I'm beside her stroke for stroke. But I have to stop her. This is too much even for her…

I get ready and put my arm over her back pulling her towards me. She freaks in the water. I call her name…

"Emily, Emily! It's Maya!"

She flails her arms until finally she realizes who I am.

"Maya? Maya! What are you doing?"

"Em, I came to get you."

We're treading water.

"But why? I'm fine."

"Are you?"

"Maya."

Emily POV

"Em, you took off so fast you didn't put any sunscreen on. Just cuz you have a delicious caramel skin tone doesn't mean you can go without protecting yourself." Did she just say I'm delicious!

"I wasn't thinking."

"No, no you weren't. Let's swim back to shore and get some lotion on those poor shoulders of yours," she swims closer to me, she gently caresses each one. Lotion? Did she just say she's going to put lotion on me!

"Where's Hanna?"

"As soon as I mentioned swimming out to you to make sure you're okay she bolted." You swam out to me to make sure I'm okay! Awww! "She saw a friend of hers and took off. I think her name is Mona."

"That sounds like Hanna!" I laugh. She laughs. We laugh together.

"Come on Em let's go so I can heal you." Heal me? Heal me!

We swim back stroke for stroke. I could get used to this. I can't stop smiling! We stand up walking the rest of the way out of the water. The two of us, side by side, like a couple?

Everyone's looking. And I want so badly to take her hand in mine and give a rousing fuck you to all those ogling us!

But then something amazing happens. Maya takes my hand! I can't look at her! I just can't! So I just do what I do…I keep my head down and smile…

"Okay Emily, on your stomach right now so I can lube you up!" What? Lube? Me? Up? Oh god.

I lie on my belly with my arms by my side. She kneels down next to me. But before she touches me she says,

"Em, you don't mind if I untie your top do you?" Huh? What? "I want to make sure I cover all of you." Cover? All of me? Gulp!

"Yeah sure. Whatever you need." Whatever you want! She takes the end of the string of my bikini top pulling slowly like she's undressing me…for her. I wish!

"There, all bare, so I won't miss a spot!" she says with that sweetness of hers. I want her sweetness!

I hear the splat of the lotion in her hand and I wait. I wait still, unmoving, trying desperately not to feel.

And then…

Her hands lay flat on my back. She glides them effortlessly along my spine up to my shoulders blades and just like that her hands are gone. That's it? That's all I get!

"Em?"

I turn my head to the side laying it on the towel, "Yeah?"

"This position is kind of awkward for me. I feel like I might fall on you and I don't want to do that." I do!

"Okay, you don't have to finish."

"No, it's not that. I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna straddle you so I don't startle you." You're gonna…huh? And she does. She's kneeling over me. Until she's not cuz she settles her bottom on the cleft of mine! Oh shit! Thank god we're mostly blocked by the rocks!

She takes the lotion squeezing it directly onto my back this time causing a shiver to run throughout my body.

Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!

Her hands spread the lotion all over my back while I float away to a place I don't want to come back from!

The delicate touch of her fingers and the palms of her hands skim from the middle of my back to my shoulders and when she gets to my shoulders her bottom lifts up and when she slides them back to the middle her bottom rests against me. Up and down, up and down…Please don't take me away from this place!

"You have great skin, Em. It's so healthy. It's nice." It's nice? What does that mean!

Once again her hands travel to my shoulders but this time she doesn't go back. Instead she unties the bikini string from around my neck letting the entire piece lay flat against my towel. Without hesitation, I move my arms away from my body, making room for what I don't know. Or do I?

"Just relax Em." She leans over me placing her arms on either side of me for balance. I can feel her breath over my ear, "I told you I wouldn't let you fall." Ahuh…

More lotion. More touching.

Her hands glide over my shoulders. She's being so gentle. I can tell I really did burn. But her touch soothes me. Her hands sneak down my sides. Is she going to side boob me? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

As if on cue, her fingertips graze my breast and I think I might pass out! It was such a natural movement that I don't think anyone who might be making an effort to watch even noticed. But I did!

It felt, it felt perfect!

"Almost done Em." No, not almost done!

She gets off my back kneeling next to me on Hanna's towel. She ties my top behind my neck and at my mid-back. What could she possibly still need to…ohhh!

Her fingertips slip under my bottoms caressing my skin just above my cheeks rubbing lotion back and forth so gently. So sensuously. So innocently? She pulls her hand away and fixes my bottoms making sure that I'm not exposing myself to anyone.

I'm in so much like! I'm in so much trouble!

She lies down on her side next to me on Hanna's towel. She props her head up and says, "You were an excellent patient Em but you're gonna need something more for those shoulders," she smiles. More of your hands on me!

"Hey guys! What did I miss!" Hanna bounds onto Maya's towel sitting back on her heels.

Our gaze is broken from her loudness, "I got a little burned so Maya put some lotion on me."

"Let me see!" she gets on all fours so she's hovering over Maya. "Oh my god Em! You're seriously sunburned!" Really Hanna, you had to crawl over her to say that! You better be moving yourself!

"I told you she needed saving," Maya scolds playfully.

"Well, I'm glad, you went after her then!" she laughs sitting back on her heels. Good girl!

"Gee, thanks Hanna," I laugh too and pretty soon we're all laughing.

"But anyway, my mom is like a major horticulturalist so she actually hired like a plant sitter while we were in New York. We have a couple aloe plants so when we're ready to go we can stop at my house and I can put some pure aloe on those shoulders for you." Maya can put some pure aloe on those shoulders for me!

"I think that's a really good idea Em. Aloe can do wonders for you." You can do wonders for me!

"Well now that that's settled let's eat!"

"I'm kinda hungry too and Em after that swimming display I bet you're famished." Yeah, famished…

We pig out at the concessions. We're actually having a really nice time, all three of us! Okay, yeah I said it, me, Maya and Hanna, are having a blast!

But unfortunately I speak too soon cuz Noel comes up behind me and grabs my shoulders and I scream!

He takes his hands away fast, "What, what did I do?"

"Em, are you okay?" Maya rushes to my side. Happy face!

"Sorry Noel, I have a sunburn and you just reminded me how bad it really is."

"Emily, I'm so, so sorry! Are you okay?"

"Don't worry about it Noel. You didn't know. I'll be fine."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"No, really we've got it covered."

"Maybe we should go to my house and get that aloe now." Wow, Hanna's being…mature.

"She's right. Oh and I'm Maya by the way," she smiles.

Noel takes her hand, brings it to his lips and kisses it, "It's nice to meet you Maya." He stares a little too long for my liking. Don't get any ideas Noel or…

"We should go," I interrupt whatever it is I'm interrupting.

"Yeah, come on Em, let's get our stuff," Hanna says.

Maya gently takes her hand from Noel, "See ya around?"

"Yeah, see ya around. Em, I really am sorry," he says about to touch my shoulders again.

I flinch.

"I'm such an idiot. Em, feel better," he says walking away but holding his gaze on Maya. She doesn't seem to mind. She actually seems to like it. I guess I read things wrong between us. Sad face.

But then, she takes my hand leading me to our things, "Let's get that aloe on you. I told you I would heal you and I told you I won't let you fall." She winks! I melt as usual! She's holding my hand again! Happy face!

Once we have all our stuff packed and we're ready to go, I smile and silently yell, "Shotgun!"

As always thank you for the reviews! Hope you didn't mind that I borrowed from them! ;)
