"Em, there might be a simple explanation for what you saw. It could be nothing. We came in on the end and we don't know the whole story," she tries to get me to lighten up.
I open the car door, step out and slam it shut, "Maya, you're right. We don't know what we saw so let's get drunk so I can forget about everything!" And find the courage to fuck you…
I smile a seductive smile looking Maya up and down. I can tell she can feel me. But the look she gives me back isn't what I was expecting. It's one of concern instead of one of lust. I walk ahead of her. I don't care. I'm going to get drunk and I'm going to fuck with or without Maya…
Chapter 17: Will Shy Emily Become Bow Chicka Wow Wow Emily With or Without Maya?
Emily POV
Beer in a keg, that's just perfect. There must be something stronger I can drink to get me drunker faster. And low and behold, I spy with my little eye, Noel Kahn. And in case you nodded off recently, I caught Noel's mom kissing my mom! I have no idea what the fuck that was but what he has in his hand will make me not care about what the fuck that was! Though I can't help but wonder if he knows…
"Emily," Maya caresses my arm sending waves of euphoria through my body, "wanna get a beer?"
"Umm," I kind of smile, "You go ahead," I look around for someone to give me an excuse not to go with her, "I'm gonna say hi to Hanna over there."
"Ok, if you're sure," she eyeballs me cuz I think she knows I'm looking for an out.
"Yeah, I'm sure."
She watches me as she walks towards the keg and as soon as she looks away, I go directly to Noel.
"Hey, can I have some of that?" I ask but I'm really not gonna take no for an answer.
"Well, well, look at Emily Fields wanting to get drunk with me of all people," he hands the bottle of vodka to me.
I chug it down and then realize I'm drinking alcohol not water and I cough a warm hearty cough.
"Geez, Fields, chill on that. You look like you're about to breathe some fire," he laughs.
"How 'bout I don't chill on that and see if you get a little burned," I take another swig.
"Whoa! Calm down Fields, go ahead, and drink away. I'll make you forget all about Ben and your shitty ass summer," he eye sexes me but it's so not the way Maya eye sexes me. Should I be looking for Maya by the keg?
I drink more, my throat burns and my head is feeling quite agreeable, agreeable to just about anything…
Hanna POV
"Hey Hanna, where's Emily?" Maya asks as if I'm supposed to know.
"Didn't you two come together?" I smile like I know something and I so know I know something, ya know?
"Yeah, but she said she saw you and was going over to talk to you. Was she ever even here?" she asks sounding concerned.
"No, no she wasn't. Maya, does this have anything to do with what happened earlier today?" I press cuz I'm betting it does and I'm feeling my inner Jessica Fletcher emerge!
"It might."
"So what happened? You look worried." You look more worried than just a friend. And I know you're more than friends after witnessing that lip lock at the sleepover! Come on Jessica Fletcher gimme your mojo so I can get Maya to confirm what I saw!
"That's for Emily to say. In the meantime, we really should find her. I don't think she's being herself tonight."
"What makes you say that?" Oh, I know…the fact that she's not attached to your hip!
"Hanna, I told you it's for Emily to say not me."
"Okay, okay, I guess this is serious then."
"I think it is."
"I'll look for her by the bonfire. Caleb, Spencer and Alex are over there, I'll ask them to help look too."
"Thanks Hanna."
"Anything for Emily." And Emily's girlfriend!
And as I walk away, I know Emily's around here someplace and she'll be okay so I sort of give myself permission to be a little giddy and childish…
"Emily and Maya sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…"
Maya POV
Damn it Emily where are you? I seriously hope you're not fucking this up, us up!
I look around trying to identify people I know when I realize there's definitely someone else who I know should be here but he's missing too. Noel Kahn. Shit Noel, you better not be taking advantage of her!
I walk over to the people I usually see him with, "Hey, have any of you seen Noel?"
A guy who kind of looks like him says, "Yeah, I think I saw him head over there with some girl."
"Some girl?"
"It was Emily Fields dumb ass," another guy so eloquently puts.
"They're probably doin' it right now!" They laugh, high fiving each other.
If he even lays a finger on her, Noel Kahn will have to answer to me and he is not gonna like the question!
I hurry my walk, looking for them as I go, trying to see where over there they might have gone.
As I walk further from the lake, I hear something. I stop. Is that laughing? Wait, is that crying? My nostrils flare. My eyes narrow. If he's touching her anywhere he shouldn't be…
Emily POV
Noel tries to kiss me but even drunk I push him away cuz he's a guy! And anyway, vodka is not going to ungay me. And there's no way alcohol will make me do some ridiculous nonsense like supposedly release my true feelings lodged deep inside me, making me give my heart to someone who tried to drown me or to a guy! That's complete Bullshit!
"Emily, what the fuck, you're giving me all these signals like you want me!" He starts to walk away.
"Noel wait! I'm sorry. I really am. I wanted to get drunk but I don't want to fuck. Not you or anyone." Well, actually...
He stops, "Then what Emily? Why be alone with me? What's your game?" He seems a little less angry with me.
"Noel, I promise I have no game. But…"
He walks back over to me, "But what?"
"Are your mom and dad getting a divorce?"
"Why are you asking me this?"
"Well?"
"Things could be better but I don't think its divorce worthy."
"So neither of your parents is having an affair?"
"A what? Why are you saying that? Did you see something?"
He grabs my arms tightly demanding that I tell him!
Only, I don't feel so good! I drop to my knees!
Hurling!
"Emily! Shit! Are you okay?"
He does the good girlfriend thing and holds my hair just in case it gets in the way of my vomit…
Hanna POV
"Hey guys! There's Maya!" I shout.
"It looks like she's walking towards something," Alex points out.
"Or someone," I say just above a whisper.
We rush over to her to see if she's found Emily. But before we get to her, she stops dead in her tracks. Her posture makes her seem as though she's in a state of shock!
"Maya!" Spencer calls to her, but no response.
When we finally reach her we all freeze just like Maya. Why? Cuz we're all in a state of shock too!
Only I can't stay silent that long, "Oh my god! Emily's giving Noel Kahn a blow job! A BJ! A hummer! A…"
"Hanna!" Everyone practically bites my head off but it's not me who's giving head!
I look at Spencer, she looks at me and we both look at Maya who seems to be trying to figure out what else she could be seeing if not Emily sucking Noel's tonsil tickler!
I'll handle this!
"Hey! What the fuck are you doing Noel!"
We barge through the thin barrier of trees!
He turns around while Emily…
"Oh my god! She's puking her guts out!" I yell!
"Guys go find some water and towels or anything to clean her up!" Spencer commands. Thank god she steps up cuz I'm too grossed out to even think straight! And anyway when I see other people throw up it makes me wanna throw up!
Maya runs over to her, "Emily!" Then she looks up at Noel, "What the fuck Noel! Why'd you get her so wasted!"
"I didn't! She grabbed the vodka out of hand and chugged it down! Then she wanted to be alone with me but when I tried to kiss her she freaked and started rambling on about my parents and if they're happily married! And before I knew it she's puking her guts out in front of me!" He says pissed by her accusation!
"She's shaking," Spencer embraces her from behind trying to warm her.
Even though he's pissed, Noel does the chivalrous thing and gives his jacket to Maya for Emily.
"Noel...," Maya starts to say something then just says, "Thanks."
The guys come back with a couple towels and a large bottle of water.
"Here," Alex offers the water to Spencer.
Caleb hands the towels to Maya, "Just in case she needs to wipe her face."
"I think we better just get her home," I say.
"Like this? I don't think so. I'll take her to my house. Her mom is totally cool with me. I'll just say it's late and we're all tired so we're crashing here," Maya comes up with so effortlessly and so chivalrously as well. Damn I really like that word! Chiv-al-rous-ly! And I know I'm totally using it right cuz I checked the last time I said it! I love Google!
"She's super dehydrated, Maya. You need to keep an eye on her like all night," Spencer says with great concern.
"I will Spencer. You know I will."
"Alex and Caleb can you help her to Maya's car and we'll all follow to make sure she's okay," Spencer instructs.
"Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Thanks," Maya says while giving Noel a nod as we leave.
At the St. Germain's…
"I just talked to Emily's mom and she's totally cool with her sleeping over. She actually said she kind of figured she'd end up sleeping anywhere but home."
"Mrs. Fields said that? Wow. Times must be a changing," I'm guessing.
"Hey guys, thanks for starting a fire in the fireplace. I think it's just what she needs," Maya says gratefully. That's not all she needs, Maya. She needs you. But I'll wait to say something until another day. I put my Jessica Fletcher hat away once again and leave with Caleb in tow.
Maya POV
"Are you sure you're going to be okay with her, Maya?" Spencer asks like the good friend she is.
"Yeah. You're just across the way if I need anything," I say.
"Don't forget that."
"I won't. Mwah, Mwah," I give her cheek to cheek kisses.
Then we hug a good strong hug and I hug Alex as well. He's such a good guy and just perfect for Spencer.
I show them out locking the door behind them. And when I get back to Emily she's shivering a bit so I cover her with another blanket and sit in the chair next to her snuggled in a blanket of my own. The fire crackles warming the room as I watch her trying to rest, but I know what she saw today is consuming her thoughts, her dreams, her everything…
It's about two in the morning when I wake from her coughing.
I get up kneeling beside her, "Em, are you okay?" I caress her forearm tenderly.
"Maya? Where am I?" she asks confused.
"You're at my house. You had a little too much to drink so I told your mom you're sleeping over and she was totally cool with it."
She tries to sit up, "You told her I'm drunk and she was cool with it?"
I smile with a small giggle, "No silly, I didn't tell her you're drunk, I just told her you were super tired and if you could stay over and she said yes."
She lies back down, "Oh, okay. You scared me," she tries to laugh but I can tell she's afraid she might get sick again. "What about your parents?"
"They're in the city and won't be home until tomorrow night."
"Maya, I'm really cold."
But she isn't. She's quite warm but she's shaking.
"Em, I'm gonna leave you for a minute and draw you a bath. I think it might help get that chill out of your body. Actually a bath sounds amazing right now," I wink at her.
She just looks at me and smiles kind of shyly. It's cute. She looks embarrassed, maybe even a little nervous. It really is cute and really sweet.
After I set up her bath I guide her up the stairs, "Do you need help undressing?" I ask her.
"No. I'm fine," she says again shyly looking down at the ground as she speaks. Seriously, she's too cute!
"Are you sure?"
"Maybe just stand outside the door in case I need you."
"Let me know when you're in the tub and I'll keep you company."
"I'd like that. You know what else I'd like."
I tilt my head half expecting her to ask me to join her and I wouldn't say no!
"Mouthwash," she says kind of awkwardly.
See, too cute!
Emily POV
I take off my clothes and lower myself into the steaming bath. It feels incredible, just as incredible as my minty fresh mouth! I chuckle to myself. I wash my face and lie back wishing I was snuggling into Maya. Maya! She's just outside the door. I put my hands over my lady parts, I know she's already seen me topless but I feel really vulnerable right now. I call for her to come in.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure."
"Emily, you gave us quite a scare," she looks directly into my eyes even though there's so much of me exposed. She's respecting my privacy and my body. I love you…
Then I think about tonight. What the fuck was I thinking! I'm going to fuck with or without Maya! No. No I'm not! I would never do that! I don't want to share me with anyone but her. I just hope I wasn't a total dick to her. And I hope anything I may or may not have said doesn't change what we have. I wish I had that confidence I had at the watering hole. I need that to deal with what I saw today. But until I get it, I hope Maya can be the strength I so desperately need...
"Sorry. I'm so embarrassed and I still feel a little sick," I chuckle sort of.
"Em, I know what you saw but you don't really know what that was. So please, just let it go for now," she walks over sitting on the edge of the tub. She takes a strand of hair that has fallen in my face and slips it behind my ear. I love you…
"Let it go?"
"Not forever. Just for a little while," she smiles a comforting smile. I love you…
She continues to just be there making small talk, very small talk while I continue to get warm but as time goes by, the bath is getting cooler and I'm getting all wrinkly!
"I think I'm ready to get out now," I say feeling the prune-age.
"There's a towel on the sink and I'll get you some warm pajamas to put on. Em, when you're done I'll be downstairs," she leans towards me and I start to panic a little. But then she just kisses my forehead and smiles. And before you know it she's gone. I slip a little deeper into the tub thinking I can't give her reason to look at anyone else. I can't push her away otherwise I'll never find this feeling ever, I just know it!
I step out of the tub and dry off, wrapping myself in the towel. I walk into her bedroom and there're the pajamas she left for me making me smile with a sigh. I love you...
I slowly walk over to the fireplace and see she has a makeshift bed made up for us. There're water bottles all around and a wastebasket just in case.
"What's all this?"
"Hey…you need to stay warm and hydrated and," she holds up the wastebasket, "a security measure," she smiles making me feel relaxed and safe.
I join her on the blankets she so carefully laid out for us. I face the flames while she sneaks close to me from behind, covering us with another blanket.
"Just sleep Em, I'll take care of whatever you need," she kisses my cheek, snuggling into me like the cuddle monster she is.
I love you…
