"Paige, come on. It is just for a few hours, we will be right back here in no time." Emily pleaded with Paige. It was three weeks into school already and Emily had been invited to Laura's house for a a party. Laura was on the swim team and they were celebrating their first win. "People on the team, they want to see you Paige. These are people that you used to be close with."
"I'm just not up for a party Emily. But you can go." Paige said, still working on her homework.
"Tell me the truth, now Paige." Emily said, ripping the paper Paige was working on out from under her hands.
"I hate crowds! Ok? I don't want to go stand around with a bunch of sweaty people." Paige said standing up from her spot.
"But I want to dance with you." Emily said stepping closer to Paige. She stood in front of the girl and then turned around, pressing her back to Paige's front. She grabbed Paige's hands and moved them to her stomach and began swaying the two in their spot. Paige reacted to Emily and pulled the girl into her, pushing her shirt up so that her hands could run on her bare skin.
"We don't need to leave to do that." Paige said, kissing Emily's shoulder.
"Paige." Emily moaned out more than spoke. "I am on the team, I have to go. I want to drink a little and let lose. And I want my girlfriend to be there." Emily punctuated the word girlfriend by grinding her ass into Paige's center. One of Paige's hands froze in its spot on Emily's stomach when the girl did that and put pressure in her grip, pulling Emily impossibly closer. Paige's nose ran up Emily's neck, stopping to nibble on the girls ear.
"Doesn't smell like you want to leave." Paige whispered in her ear after she let go of it, making Emily shudder.
"Well I am." Emily said as she stepped out of Paige's grip and went to the other side of the room to grab her jacket. She threw it on and stood looking at Paige with a stealy glare.
"We will come home together?" Paige asked, already feeling resolve breaking, knowing she would eventually give in to her mate.
"Yes. Just a few hours at the party." Emily said, a smirk appearing on her face when she realized she was winning.
"Fine. I will go, if, we can walk." Paige said.
"That is good with me." Paige walked over to the girl and threw her own jacket on. Emily grabbed Paige's hand and the two walked out of the house together. Emily got her phone out of the pocket of her jacket and text the girls to let them know that Paige was coming to the party as well. They all said that they were at the party and that they would wait outside for them.
When they arrived the girls held true to their word and were standing outside with the boys. Hannah had a cup ready for them when they got there. Paige declined, saying that she wanted a clear head for her first party since changing. Emily downed her own cup and took Paige's as well as they walked into the house. Aria, Hannah and Emily made their way over to the swim team while Spencer, Toby, Caleb and Paige stood in the crowded kitchen talking amongst themselves.
"Is it weird being around people that you used to compete with?" Caleb asked Paige.
"It kind of makes me feel said that I don't do it anymore actually. But I liked these people while I was on the team, so it isn't too weird to be around them." Paige admitted.
Back in the kitchen the team was setting up a game with shots while watching their swim race on a lap top. Every time one of their team mates pulled ahead in the video, the group surrounding the screen would take shots. Emily was starting to feel it about thirty minutes later when someone from the team set up speakers and turned on music. Hannah and Aria pulled Emily away from game and made their way to the living room to dance. Emily was dancing with the girls when she felt a pair of arms circle her waist. With the alcohol clouding her mind, Emily leaned back into the body. A set of lips found her neck and she swayed with the body behind her. Emily felt her body being pulled towards the French doors that led outside into the back yard. The alcohol she had drank was having an effect on her vision, making it very blurry. She felt her body being pushed against a wall and the lips from the dance floor on her neck again while a big body pressed into her front. She knew right away this was not Paige, and she used her wobbly arms to push the body away from her. She tried to yell but all that came out was a string on unitellagable words, followed by her whispering, "Paige". As soon as the name left her lips, the body was off of hers and gone in seconds.
Inside at the time that Emily's back hit the wall Paige started hearing her thoughts and tore away from the group she was talking to. Leaving them with puzzled looks on their faces. She made her way into the living room, looking at Hannah and Aria before looking around for Emily.
"Where is Emily?" Paige asked frantically.
"She was just right here dancing with us a minute ago. She had a little too much to drink, so we thought she would dance it off." Hannah said. Before she could say anything else Paige took off again, this time knowing exactly where Emily was since the girl had called for her. When Paige stepped outside she saw Emily leaning against the wall, bent over with her hands on her knees crying.
"Em." Paige flew to her side and pulled the girl to her, instantly smelling someone else on Emily. It smelled familiar. Like she had smelled the scent of the other person before.
"Someone was here. I, I thought it was you. I let someone take me out here because I thought it was you." Emily was crying even harder now, drawing the attention of Spencer and Toby. Caleb, Hannah and Aria stepped outside after a moment to join the group.
"Do you know who?" Paige asked as Emily pretty much crawled into Paige's lap.
"No. I thought it was you." Emily sobbed out. Paige scooped her up and held her close, the girl shaking in her arms.
"I'm going to take her back to my house. Mom is at work so we can be alone." Paige said.
"Let me drive you." Spencer said. Paige climbed into the back of Paige's car while still holding a shaking Emily. The others crawled into the car as well and Spencer made the rounds dropping the girls off until it was just Paige and Emily in the back.
"If you two need anything, call us." Toby said.
"I will." Paige said to the boy before thanking Paige and exiting the car.
Paige entered her house and carried Emily to her room. She set Emily down on the bed long enough to take all her clothing off before carrying her into the bathroom and setting her on the toilet so she could run them a bath. Paige set Emily down and crawled in behind her, letting the girl relax into her. She washed the odd smell off of Emily and held the girl until the water felt cold. Paige pulled her out of the tub and dried her off, before drying herself off and carrying Emily back into her room. She pulled the covers back on her bed and layed Emily down, pulling the covers up over the girls shoulders.
"Paige." Emily whined out.
"I'm here Em." Paige said as she pulled her covers up and crawled into the bed. Emily wasted no time in crawling over to lay on top of Paige, finding comfort in feeling her mate under her.
The next morning Paige woke up startled when Emily shot out of bed and made a dead run for the bathroom. Paige was about to enter the bathroom when she heard Emily throwing up. She smiled slightly, knowing the girl was suffering from a hangover before she remembered why they had left the party so early last night. Paige made her way to her dresser and pulled out sleep shorts and a tank for herself and Emily. She pulled her clothes on and made her way in to Emily to find the girl wrapped around the toilet, naked.
"Here, babe. Put these on." Paige said as she hands Emily the shorts and tank.
"Thank you." Emily said as she sat up and put the clothes on slowly.
"Remember anything from last night?" Paige asked.
"I remember drinking shots after watching our race, and then nothing." Emily said. Paige felt like this would happen after Hannah had told her how much the girl had drank.
"Emily someone tried to make out with you last night. They had kissed your neck. I could smell them on you." Paige told her.
"I, I don't remember anything of that Paige. You know I wouldn't cheat on you." Emily started frantically.
"No Em, someone tried to take advantage of you while you were drunk. I don't blame you." Paige said as she pulled Emily into a hug.
"I still feel bad. And I feel like my head is about to explode." Emily admitted with a small frown. "No more drinking."
"How about I make you breakfast. Take these Tylenol and drink this water and then meet me downstairs. We will have a nice quite Saturday together, ok?" Paige said as she handed Emily two pills and a glass of water before kissing her head and walking out. Once downstairs Paige pulled out her phone and text Spencer that she needed her to come over later so they could talk about what had happened last night. She needed to find who had done that to Emily, she knew that if she ever smelled that person again, she would make them pay.
