When I step ahead of her to leave she slaps my ass.

"Maya!"

"It was asking for it!" she chuckles.

"My ass was asking for it?" I laugh.

"You have no idea do you?"

"No idea about what?"

"How hot your jiggle is!"

And with that I race ahead of her to the track leaving her in my dust…

Chapter 20: So Many Secrets

Emily POV

It's been two weeks since the first day of school and Maya and I are going strong. There are tons of make out sessions but when her hands start traveling down there, I hesitate so she stops. I can tell she's getting anxious and the last thing I want is for her to get so sexually frustrated that she turns to someone who can give her that release. And let me tell you, there are a lot of people who would scratch her itch if she let them!

But, also, we've both been busy. When she's doing cello I'm doing swimming. She has performances home and away while I have meets home and away. So we do our best to make sure we go to each other's events to show our support when we can. This time, however, Maya is away and I'm stuck at home with Hanna acting like she knows something I don't. She keeps smiling at me like she's dying to tell me something but she doesn't…

"So, Em, are you bored without Maya here to keep you busy?" She smiles like she's got my number. What the fuck is that!

"I would be bored regardless," I say being rather whatever about it. Is she buying it?

"Yeah but you're always with Maya. It's like you two are secretly dating or something." What the fuck! Does Hanna really suspect?

I laugh, "Ha ha," and proceed to hide my face cuz I'm so busted!

And then like as if the gods are watching over me the doorbell rings!

"Hey Emily," my mother yells up the stairs, "Spencer's here. I'm sending her up. Oh and I'm going out with Natalie Kahn for a while. Don't wait up!"

Natalie Kahn! I spring up from my bed and rush over to the railing to ask my mother where she's going with Natalie but I'm too late, she's gone.

"Hey Emily," Spencer says as she walks up the stairs. "I didn't know your dad was in town."

"He's not, why would you think that."

"Oh, I just assumed cuz your mom was rockin' her outfit and her hair and her makeup. She looked good!" Spencer emphasizes the good as she walks into my room.

Shit! What the fuck is my mother up to? I think for a moment and wonder, is she all dressed up for Natalie Kahn? Noel suspects his mom is having an affair. And I thought my mom was having an affair with his mom. But, no, she's just someone Natalie can vent to and understand what she's going through but then again, why was she all done up like that? Damn it! Is my mother the one having an affair with Mrs. Kahn? Is my mother gay? Oh my god! I want Maya! I need her so much right now!

"Emily! What're you doing out there?" Hanna yells.

"I'm, I'm coming."

"Whoa, Em, who died?" Spencer asks after seeing the look on my face.

"What?"

"Em, you look like you're puppy just got run over by a car," Hanna seconds my 'someone or something just died' look.

"It's my mom."

"What about her?" Spencer asks with a confused look on her face.

"I don't know. But I think something's up."

"Something's up?" She questions.

"Yeah. But I'm not sure what."

"Hey, this calls for a little Jessica Fletcher detective work! Come on guys; let's try to find out where she went."

"I think I know."

"You do?" Hanna asks surprised.

"Where?" Spencer asks in a way like how would I know.

"Noel Kahn's."

Ding Dong

I furrow my brow, "Now what?"

"Let's just go see who it is and then we can drive over to Noel's," Hanna rolls her eyes.

I quickly step down the stairs leaving Hanna and Spencer behind. I grasp the door knob and turn it to click open. I take a breath to rid my face of any annoyance that might be perceived by whoever stands on the other side of the door.

"Hey beautiful."

My demeanor changes immediately! I'm so happy! I want to pull her into a hug and kiss her endlessly but I can't because all I can think of is…Did Hanna and Spencer hear Maya call me beautiful? Shit. But before I can warn her that we're not alone, she steps inside and hugs me and I don't want to hug her back but I missed her so much!

Hanna POV

I grab Spencer's arm to stop her from taking another step.

"What're you doing? Let go Hanna," Spencer gives me a look like what the fuck.

"One one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand…"

"Why are you counting Hanna?"

I give her the shush sign and continue, "four one thousand, five one thousand, six one thousand, seven one thousand eight one thousand. I knew it!" I say excitedly but in a low voice so they can't hear me.

"What are you talking about? What do you know?" Spencer asks all annoyed by my counting.

"Spencer don't you get it, that was not a friend hug. A friend hug last for like three seconds. That was a more than a friend hug cuz it was like an eight second count!"

"What're you babbling about? Friend hug? More than friends hug?"

"Something's going on between those two. I told you at the sleepover I saw them more than friends kiss. But you didn't believe me."

"Hanna, oh my god, we've been through this already. Maya's a flirt."

"Come on Spencer, they kissed, they hug more than three seconds, Maya shows up here unannounced. And did she call you to tell you she was back since you're such great friends."

"That doesn't mean anything."

"Spencer, even the analytical you knows what I'm saying is true. Think about it." Analytical! That's right Word-a-Day calendar!

She's thinking I can tell and something just clicked! I can see it!

"What Spencer? What is it?"

She pulls me back up a step and whispers, "Even if it's true we can't say anything. We can't just walk up to Emily and say, 'Why didn't you tell us you're gay?'"

"Why not?"

"Hanna! She has to come out on her own. We can't out her."

"Well, what about Maya."

"What about her?"

"Is she going to stick around once Emily does decide to come out or will she get bored and find someone new to sneak around with?"

"Hanna, don't say things like that about Maya. She's a good person. The only difference between her and Emily is that Maya has no problem being who she is even if who she is likes another girl."

"So we're just supposed to stay silent?"

Spencer rubs her chin between her thumb and index finger, "Yes, but only with Emily."

"What do you mean, only with Emily?"

"I'll talk to Maya. I'll ask her if it's true."

"How come you get to ask her? I'm the one who Jessica Fletchered it all together."

"Yeah but you haven't been friends with Maya as long as I have. I'll tell her I suspect…"

"We suspect," I correct her.

"Fine, we suspect, that there's more to her friendship with Emily."

"I'm okay with that but you better call me as soon as you talk to her."

"I will. I will."

Emily POV

After we hug I tell her Hanna and Spencer are here before she tries to kiss me or touch me under my shirt which I really, really like! Her hands are so soft and she's so gentle with me, mostly! I smile from the images slide showing through my mind!

"Maya, I thought you were away for orchestra," I say taking a step away from her.

"I was. We won by the way," she says with a brilliant smile.

"That's awesome!" But before I can hug her again Hanna and Spencer offer their congratulations.

"Maya, I knew you would win! You're so amazing!" Spencer cheers.

"You are, and I haven't even heard you play," Hanna says. She can be so weird sometimes.

"Thanks guys. I actually drove so I could get home earlier," Maya says while discreetly raising an eyebrow at me.

"Earlier? For what?" Hanna asks with her weirdness again.

"Would you wanna take a school bus with a bunch of students and all of our instruments? It can get a bit crowded and it's so bumpy!"

"I know. I feel the same way about swim with all of our gear."

"So, did I interrupt anything?" Maya asks.

"Hell no. We're going to go spy on Emily's mom," Hanna blurts out.

Both Spencer and I shoot her a look.

"What? It's true, isn't it?"

"What's going on?" Maya wants to know.

"I told them about my mom…" but before I can finish Maya fills in the blanks that I hadn't filled in yet!

"You told them about Mrs. Kahn and your mom?" she asks surprised.

"What!"

"What!"

"Oh. Oopsie. Sorry Em, I thought you told them."

"No, I didn't."

"Wait, you think your mom went to see Mrs. Kahn all dolled up because you think they're doin' a little somethin' somethin' with each other?" Hanna says in such Hanna-like fashion.

"Oh Emily are you sure?" Spencer wonders.

"Maya and I saw my mom and Mrs. Kahn hugging at the Town Green on Labor Day. It looked kind of intimate so I confronted my mom about it. She said we misunderstood. I believed them until…"

"Until what Emily? This is even better than I expected!" Hanna says excitedly.

"Until Noel Kahn told me some things that seem to suggest his mom is having an affair but he doesn't know with whom. But we do, my mother."

"You know that for a fact?" Spencer asks.

"No. That's why we need to get over to Noel's and see if we can find out what's really going on."

"Em, are you sure you want to do this?" Maya asks squeezing my hand and I don't even care if they see.

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Cuz Spencer and I can go check it out while Maya waits here with you," Hanna suggests. Which is sort or really nice of her and sort of weird too.

"Emily, maybe that's a good idea. I mean, what if you see something that isn't what it looks like and again you draw the wrong conclusion. You might say something to her you can't take back," Spencer says and I know she's right.

"She has a point," Maya agrees.

And this way I can find out what's going on with my mother and have some alone time with Maya.

"Okay, so Hanna and I will go and we'll check in once we find out what's going on at Noel's."

I nod in agreement and the two of them drive over to Noel's leaving Maya and I home alone.

Hanna POV

"So why did you suggest the two of us go and they stay behind?"

"Oh come on Spencer, Maya drove straight to Emily's all the way back from her competition. She wanted to see Emily alone. Even I picked up on that."

"So now you're a matchmaking romantic?"

"I've always been a matchmaking romantic and how cute are Emily and Maya anyway! Emily and Maya, Emaya! Oh my god, Emaya! That's even cuter!"

"Hanna Marin, you are something else."

"So I've been told."

"I bet you have."

Emily POV

The door barely clicks shut behind Hanna and Spencer and I can feel Maya's body pressed against mine. My breathing picks up a notch and I don't want this feeling to end. I turn around, my back against the door. Her mouth is so close to mine. Her fingers caress the skin under my shirt.

"I missed you," she breathes.

"I missed you too. So much."

We smile a quick smile before her lips steal mine unlocking the passion within me. I need a bit of a distraction even if just for a few minutes especially since kissing Maya is all I've been able to think about.

She takes my hands leading me to the couch. She wants me on my back which makes me kind of nervous. Oh god! What will she do to me!

She climbs on top of me settling her body moving it slowly against me.

"Maya, I…"

"Shhh, baby, just for a little while."

And I'm done! I can't say no to that! And I don't want to!

She kisses me then looks into my eyes making sure she has my attention and she so does! She kisses me again and my eyes roll into the back of my head just wanting to let go of everything except for this moment. She knows she's got me and she takes full advantage by slipping my shirt up and up over my breasts. They're the one part of my body I'm confident enough to share with her. I love her touch so tender yet firm. Her hands, her mouth, her tongue, her teeth all know exactly how to excite me!

She reaches behind me unclasping my bra which puts me in a higher gear striping away my shirt and this obstacle of straps and padding. I'm naked from the waist up. She's looking into my eyes. She slides her body to my side kissing my lips while massaging my breasts. And just for a moment I'm thinking we shouldn't be doing this, what about my mother and what she's up to? But the thought passes when her lips surround my nipple and I feel her smile against me.

My arms throw back as she straddles me kissing my belly, breasts and my nipples. I don't want her mouth to stop and I don't think it will! If this feels that good I can only imagine what it feels like down there but I can't, not yet, not now and I freeze.

"Maya, please, stop."

"What, did I do something?"

"Yes."

She slides off of me so I can put my bra and t-shirt back on and she looks concerned that she might have hurt me.

"I mean, I liked it a lot. That's the problem."

"That's a problem?" She asks sitting with one leg tucked under the other one.

"Maya, I want to, I really do but not like this. It feels rushed and it's confusing and…"

"What's confusing about it?"

"How much I want you to," I sit down next to her. "I don't think I understand it myself. I just know in my head that I'm not ready. Do you hate me?"

She innocently brushes the hair from my eyes, "No, baby, I don't hate you. Maybe I'm a little frustrated sexually but I don't hate you," she kisses my lips softly as if to reassure me. I love you.

"Maya, are you sure you can wait for me?"

"Why wouldn't I?" She tilts her head like she really doesn't know why I felt the need to ask that.

"Because there are a lot of girls and guys, for that matter, who would be with you that way."

"Maybe, but none of them are you."

And I blush so hard and I snuggle into her and she holds me she holds me so close.

"Don't worry Ems, when you're ready I'll be ready," she kisses the top of my head. I love you.

As I settle into her, loving the feel of her arms around me, my phone ruins the moment with its incessant buzzing.

When I finally pick it up I see that it's Spencer and Hanna...
