"The New Girl"

Thank you all for the 30 reviews of the last chapter! I want to give you something to talk about and think about and it feels good to have your support in written words! I truly appreciate it! ;)

Emily and Maya are not going to have sex in this chapter. I think that would be irresponsible of me to write.

Does Maya know that Emily is gay? Maybe…

But that's not what's important here, what's important is, how Maya helps Emily be comfortable with who she is without making her feel uncomfortable.

So, let's see what happens at this impromptu sleepover set up by none other than Mrs. Fields…

Rated T for Teen.

We reach the top of the stairs but I guess I'm not quick enough cuz she slaps my ass and I let out a yelp!

"You deserved that," she says. "You heard your mom the faster we clean the faster we can go to bed. And I need to go to bed," she winks. Oh fuck!

I think my mouth is still hanging open! What do I do! WHAT DO I DO!

Worried face…

Chapter 7: What Does One Do at a Sleepover for Two?

Emily POV

As we put my clothes away, Maya, every few items, holds one up to her looking into the mirror, "Oh girl, you've got quite the collection! I'm definitely borrowing from you. I need some knew flava in my style and I think you've got exactly what I'm looking for," she eyes herself in the mirror and winks at me through it.

I have no idea what she means! Is she talking some lesbian code that I haven't learned yet? Or does she really like my style of clothing? This is so hard and there's no way I'm asking her if she likes girls, if she likes me…

"You can have whatever you want," I smile not realizing the implication of my words.

She looks at me through the mirror, "Good to know." She cocks an eyebrow. My legs cave beneath me. I'm yours, if you want me! I just wish I could say it out loud. Nervous face.

"Well, that's everything," I say holding my arms out to the side with my palms facing up then letting them fall with a soft slap against my thighs.

She doesn't say anything, she just watches every move my body makes and I'm wondering, "Is she going to make a move on my body?" I'd like that very much! But not now! Not until I can truly appreciate the feminine touch of a beautiful girl, the only beautiful girl whose touch I crave…

But before either of us say or do anything, my mother steps into my bedroom doorway, "Wow, looks great girls. I'm impressed. Thank you, Maya for volunteering to help Emily out of a loss of privileges."

"No worries, Mrs. Fields, I'm happy to help Emily out of anything," she smiles but we all know she wasn't talking about privileges. Was she?

"Well, it's late. I think you two should get in that bed already." My eyes open wide hearing her words but knowing that Maya has changed their meaning and so did I! Oh lord…

"Good night Mrs. Fields and thank you so much for letting me make things right. And thank you for inviting me to stay the night. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather sleep with then your daughter," Maya seduces my mom with her politeness and her poker face. Wait. What! I can't even believe she just said that! But what I can't believe even more is that my mom didn't even flinch from her words!

I look at my mom who is totally under Maya's spell and can't help but chuckle. I actually have to look away so my mom doesn't ask why I might find humor in that!

"Anytime Maya. Good night girls."

And then she does something quite unexpectedly, she closes my bedroom door behind her! I hear the click of the knob! My heart is racing! My breathing is shallow! I feel like I might burst into tears! Shit! I've got to get it together!

She walks around the bed to face me. She tilts her head so her eyes can see mine and when she lifts her head, I lift mine. We are full on body to body with just the tiniest of space between us.

I'm wondering if she senses how freaking nervous I am at this moment cuz she folds her arms across her chest as if to say, "Don't worry, I'm not going to try anything, I know you're not ready."

"So, Em, I don't have anything to wear to bed. Do you have a tank top and shorts I can borrow or should I sleep naked tonight," she smiles and head tilts. And I die. I literally die right there!

I want to say something but the words! The damn words won't leave my brain to come out my mouth!

I watch her as she walks over to my dresser, I think, sensing my distress, "Which drawer Em?"

It takes me a second to snap out of what just happened, "Umm, the second one. Take what you want."

"Oh, I will," she turns her head to wink at me, "Thank you Em."

But it's not the words it's how she says them with this silky purr! I want her to talk to me like that all the time! Oh wait, but not tonight! Please not tonight! I'm not ready!

She pulls them out of the drawer and closes it. She walks to the window seat, closes the curtains and right there, I'm not kidding, right there in front of me she starts taking off her clothes! I gulp so loud I'm sure she heard me. I'm sweaty palms again! Damn it!

I should look away but I can't, I'm frozen! "Let it go, let it go!" But I can't! Damn that song!

Her back is to me as she shimmies; yeah it's definitely a shimmy out of her jeans! Her hips sway back and forth and back and forth as she pushes them down over her very delightful booty! I swear it really is delightful! She bends over, and I can't help wondering if it's on purpose! It's as if she wants me to look at her! And I do, I do look at her, all of her. I watch as her panties get caught on her jeans and they start sliding down her beautiful bottom about to expose her bountifulness!

"Whoops! Does that happen to you too?" she asks with her back still to me.

"Does what happen?" I ask clearing my throat, walking over to my dresser, digging in the drawers like I was doing that the whole time! I'm such a pussy!

"I almost gave you a full show of my backside," she purrs some more.

"Oh, I, I didn't notice," I nervously respond. Oh she knows I was looking! She so knows! I bet she's smiling from ear to ear knowing that I'm lying to her fac…ass!

I can't resist, I have to peek! I'm mesmerized by her as she slinks out of her jeans stepping on them to lift one leg at a time out of them. I shake my head turning my attention to choosing my own tank top and shorts. I pull them out of the drawer and as I close it, I turn around and she's standing there in her bra and panties! I thought for sure she'd be dressed by now! I know you're probably thinking I already saw her in a bikini but this, this is totally different! It's intimate…

Her hands are on her hips, "Em," she head tilts just killing me over and over again!

I clear my throat trying not to look at her pushed up boobs spilling over her cups. But it's so hard not to look! What do you expect! They're boobs!

I look everywhere around the room trying to be as discreet as possible, "What's up?" Look at her face! Just look at her face!

"Do you think you could unclasp me?" Do I think I can huh? Swallow!

"Yeah sure, no problem," I walk over to her as she turns around. I'm shaking out my hands so they won't tremble when I touch her.

"Whenever you're ready," she says with her sweet voice.

"Okay." That's it! That's what I say!

I slip my fingers under her bra gliding them against her light cocoa skin, so soft, so smooth and I swear I hear her, "Mmmmm," which makes me smile huge! I bite my lower lip and as slowly as possible I unclasp her.

I can't believe I just did that! I hope it was okay! Oh shit, what have I done!

I stand there motionless watching her take a step closer to the window seat with her back completely bare, tossing her hair back, revealing the slightest of side boob! Mmmm, side boob! Everyone loves a little side boob so don't even! She bends down slipping into her shorts, and then grabs the tank top pulling it over her head! But before she can turn around I grab my clothes and bolt to the bathroom!

"I have to pee," I announce. I'm such an idiot!

I rush out of the bedroom into the bathroom. I turn on the faucet saturating my face with cold water. I grab a towel to dry off and as I look in the mirror, I notice something. I notice I'm not the girl I was raised to be. I'm someone completely different. I'm not straight. I'm gay. I can't let my fantasies about Maya come between us. I'm not sure what her angle is, maybe she's trying, in her own way, to help me with my sexuality. Maybe she's letting me know its okay to look at other girls and have feelings for them without having to think those feelings are wrong. Why does this have to be so hard? Why can't I just say, Maya, I like you? Do you like me? Because I can't. I just can't…

I quickly change and return to my room, closing the door behind me. I can see that she's already in bed. She's waiting for me; I can tell by the way she's lying there. She's on her side resting on her elbow.

"Em, it's late. Come to bed," she pats the mattress with her hand.

And the way she says it, all kinds of erotic thoughts flow through my brain at lightning speed.

"Can you shut the light off before you get in bed?" she asks, the words just ease from her mouth as if this is the most natural thing in the world. It should be, but I'm me…

After I turn off the light, I crawl into bed, careful to stay on my own side. But she's not so careful as she scoots a bit closer. I do my best to just stare at the ceiling. Now what?

She starts talking and I'm glad cuz I have no idea what to say, "Em, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable changing in front of you. And when it was your turn, you didn't have to rush off; I would've looked away, if you wanted me to."

Did she really just say that! She's fucking perfect!

"It's not that, I guess, I would do that with anyone I just met. It's only our second night that we've known each other." I think that was a great response!

"True but I feel like I've known you as long as Spencer," she says caressing my arm closest to her before she takes it away again. I'm all goosebumps!

"Really? You think so?" I say and mistakenly turn to look at her. Oh no if our eyes meet… Oh no!

But she lies on her back like me. It's like she's watching out for me, maybe guiding me to be comfortable in my own skin like she is.

"I know you have that burning question that everyone does," she says.

I keep looking at the ceiling, "Oh yeah, what's that?"

"Do I like boys or do I like girls or do I like both?"

"I thought you liked who you like."

She laughs, "Oh, so you were paying attention. That's good."

I laugh with her.

"Em, I don't jump into hook ups or relationships or whatever you call them. Though, I know people think quite the opposite of me. But it's cool. I get it. I'm the new girl and I pose a threat to those who are insecure."

"I wasn't thinking about it like that but I can see your point. Girls can be so catty."

"And guys can be so grabby!"

We laugh some more.

"But Em, you're a curious one."

"How do you mean?" Still not looking at her.

"Who do you like?" She asks like it's the most natural question in the world! But it's not! Not to me, anyway!

"I, I just broke up with Ben at the beginning of the summer and I took the time after that until now to think about me and what I want for me. And I want a swimming scholarship so I needed to get fit."

I can feel her eyeing me, "And that you are. You are quite fit Em. Anyone would want you on their arm."

"I don't want just anyone." I want you!

"I thought as much," she looks back up at the ceiling.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you like girls?" What!

"My best friends are girls."

"You know what I mean."

"Do I?"

"Em, you broke up with Ben. You worked on you all summer. Why? To get the attention of another guy you're not attracted to or to see if there's a girl out there who would give you their attention, who would notice you?" This is too close for comfort. How does she know?

I roll onto my side so she can't see the tears well up in my eyes.

"Em, I'm a girl and I noticed you, all of you."

"This isn't happening! This isn't happening! This isn't happening!" I chant over and over in my head hoping it will all go away.

She rolls onto her side, she moves closer to me, "Spencer told you I'm a cuddle monster in bed, and she's right. Good night Emily. Mwah." She mwahs me right onto the back of my neck.

I giggle through my tears as she snuggles her body into mine, so warm and unassuming. She places her hand on my hip and I like it there so, so much! But what do I do? What do I do?

I place my hand over hers and she doesn't even flinch!

"Good night Maya," I smile as I close my eyes but then my smile begins to fade as I wonder if she'll wait for me, I wonder if I will ever be able to tell her what I'm feeling, I wonder if I will ever truly be happy. But until then my thoughts carry me into a world full of dreams, dreams of my future and dreams of Maya, dreams that just might come true!

Happy, happy face…
