Something Called Love

Watching from my spot on the couch as Alison and Emily once again stood closely to each other, whispering like they always do. We are a group of five friends, there's me Spencer, Hanna, Aria, Alison and Emily. We were all close but Alison and Emily, they seemed closer. Always whispering and being together. Jealousy wasn't the best colour on me, I hated Alison for how close she was to Emily. You see, I love Emily. I don't know when it first happened, maybe when we first meet but I only realised when Alison started getting closer to Emily. I thought the two might be dating but that would never happen, would it? I always found myself questioning it and changing my opinion every day.

"You okay Spence?" Hanna asked.

"All good," I say giving her a small smile as Emily and Alison re-joined the group.

Aria questioned "Why are you two so smiley?"

Alison explained "Emily just has something to tell you," I looked up at Emily curious to know what she want to say.

"You can tell us anything Em," Hanna said being the supportive friend and Aria nodded encouragingly.

"Okay. Well, here goes nothing. Umm...I'm gay, I like girls and I have for a very long time. I also hope you guys will support me."

"Yay!" Alison said clapping a little before tackling Emily into a hug. While Emily and Alison had their moment of friendship, I couldn't help but think maybe there was a chance Emily and I could, no there was no way she liked me.

Once the pair settled down, Aria said "Of course we'll support you Emily. Thank-you for trusting us and telling us."

"Yeah, like Aria said. We will always support you Emily," I said smiling when Emily looked into my eyes for a short minute.

"So, any ladies you've got your eye on?" Hanna questioned in her normal form of no tact.

"Hanna!" Aria shouted slapping her arm and going on "You can't just asked that after she comes out."

"What? I wanted to know. Emily's hot and sweet, she deserve someone equally hot and sweet as her. So, if there is a person she has her eye on, I want to make that possible."

"You have like literally no tact, whatsoever," I state to which Hanna nods.

Emily cleared her throat and said "There was a girl I liked for a long time but she super straight and probably wouldn't be interested anyway." That was a typically Emily sentences, to state someone wouldn't be interested in her. I wish Emily knew how amazing she was, I wish I could tell her. Emily is the best person in this world, she makes me a better person.

At seeing Emily and Alison share another whispered conversation, which result in Emily smiling and blushing. I couldn't stand it anymore, even if this girl Emily was straight. Emily seemed to have move onto liking Alison and I couldn't compete with Alison, not that Emily was something to fight over. Not wanting to look at them anymore, I stood up and stormed out of my own barn.

Standing in the backyard, I groan at myself for agreeing to host the sleepover this weekend, I couldn't leave to go home because I am home.

"You okay?" I heard Emily's sweet voice ask."

"I'm fine Emily, just go back."

"You don't sound fine and I don't want to go back. They are playing truth or dare, not my favourite game in the world."

"But it's Alison favourite."

"Just because Alison and I are friends doesn't mean we have to like the same thing. That's like saying you like to read, so automatically Hanna has to like to read," I couldn't stop myself from laughing at the image of Hanna reading.

Emily smiled and spoke "There's the Spencer Hastings smile, I like to see. Now, are you going to tell me what's wrong because I could easily tickle it out of you."

"Please don't tickle me, there's nothing wrong. I just needed fresh air."

"When people say they're fine, it normally means something wrong. Then when you add fresh air, it mean something's really wrong."

"I hate you so much."

"No you don't," Emily said with her charming smile that made me fall in the first place.

Sighing, I turn my back on Emily and say "Your right, I don't hate you. That would probably be easier," I take a seat on the swing and Emily sits down next to me.

"Why would it be easier to hate me?"

"Because it be less complicated, there wouldn't be anymore feelings. It would just be simple hate. Although, you are perfect so it be would hard finding something to hate about you."

"I'm not perfect Spencer, far from it really. Also perfect doesn't exist, there is no perfect score or perfect person, it's only the best you can be of yourself."

"Don't say things like that."

"Things like what?"

"Things that make you sound wise and older than you are, it makes things harder."

"I don't understand Spencer." I looked into Emily's deep brown eyes and all I could see was confusion, her eyes search mine for answers. Deciding it was now or never, I'd never get a opportunity like this again. I slowly leaned forward and pressed my hesitant lips to Emily's soft ones. After two seconds of no reaction, I went to pull back but soon found I couldn't as Emily had placed her hand on the back of my head and encourage the kiss to continue. Pulling back from each other when we need air, I felt breathless, like I was floating. I couldn't believe I had just kissed Emily and Emily had kissed me back.

I whisper "I can't believe I just kissed Emily Fields."

Emily smiled and whispered back "I can't believe I just kissed Spencer Hastings." I felt a shiver go up my spine when Emily join our hands together.

After a few minutes of no talking, Emily asked "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course," I say still in a state of shock.

"Alison's favourite game is truth or dare. Mine is seven minutes in heaven," I laughed at Emily ridiculous statement before falling into her open embrace.

I asked "Is this crazy? Us."

"Nope."

"Who was the other girl you like but was straight?"

"It turns out, she's not straight."

"I don't understand."

"Do I really need to spell out for you?"

"Yes please."

Emily then said "The. Girl. I. Liked. Who. I. Thought. Was. Straight. Was. You. Now. Unless. You. Kiss. Everyone. Like. That. Then. You. Are. Not. Straight." Emily puncher each word with a little peck and it made all the much better.

"Emily! Spencer!" We heard Alison shout as she walked out of the barn to discover us cuddled up together.

Alison smiled as she spoke "Was I right or was I right?"

"You were right."

"What's this?" I asked confused.

"Alison knew I had feelings for you and kept wanting me to tell you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't return the feelings. Alison managed to convince me tonight, you had feelings for me and all I had to do was be brave first."

Looking at Alison, I asked "You knew I had feelings for Emily?"

"Yep," Alison said.

"How?" I asked.

"I saw the way you looked at Emily and then the way you would look at me. You were so jealous, I didn't understand until I did. You have nothing to worry about Spencer, Emily and I are only friend and we will only ever be friends. I like dudes and Emily is lacking a lot in the department."

"Shut up," Emily said making Alison laugh.

Alison then said "The other two were worried about you, I thought I'd come find you since I knew what was probably happening. I wasn't sure if you were telling them."

"That's surprisingly sweet of you Alison."

"I care a lot about Emily, she's like my sister. So, that being the case. You hurt her in anyway shape or form, I will kill you."

"Ali!" Emily shouted but understood where Alison was coming from.

"I never want to hurt Emily."

"Good, let's keep it that way," Alison said before turning around and heading back into the barn.

Emily asked "So what are we going to do about Aria and Hanna? Are we going to tell them?"

"Hang on before we talk about them, what are we?"

"Right, sorry got ahead of myself. Spencer Hastings, would you do me a great honour in becoming my girlfriend?"

"Yes, Emily of course."

"Awesome," Emily said all cool and calm but something tells me that's not the truth.

"So, are we telling people or?"

Smiling, I say "I don't want hide this Emily. I've spent too long not being with you and now that I am, I want to shout it to the world."

"I was hoping you'd say that," Emily stated standing up and offering her hand to me. Taking Emily's offered hand, she helps me stand and after a couple quick pecks, we begin our small journey back to the barn.

"Hey you two," Aria said.

"We were getting worried," Hanna stated.

"No need to be worried," I said.

Emily then said "Oh, you remember me telling you about the girl I liked but stop because she was straight."

"Yes," Aria and Hanna said nodding.

Emily continued with "You can disregard that, my information was wrong." Emily proceed to peck my lips and take her seat back next to Alison.

"You and Spencer?" Hanna questioned as Aria stared up at me.

"Yep," Emily said smiling. I couldn't help but smile back before sitting down in Emily's lap.

Aria asked "You two aren't going to be all kissy in front of us, are you?"

I answered "What can I say, Emily doesn't taste like cherry chopstick but I'd be crazy not to keep going for a taste."

"Way, way, way to much information," Hanna said making Emily and I laugh. We continued the sleepover as normal, nothing had really changed. We were still the same group of girl, still close as ever but now two of us were dating. Emily and I were dating, I still couldn't get over how amazing that sounded and that it was actually a thing.

"Are you awake?" Emily whispered into the night.

"Yes," I whispered back.

"I really, really like you."

"I really, really like you too."

"I want things to work out but if you ever stop liking me that way, can you just tell me."

"Of course Emily but that will never happen."

"Okay."

"Emily."

"Yeah Spencer?"

"I only want to be with you."

"That was beautiful."

"Thank-you," I whispered back.

We then here Hanna's voice "As cute and adorable as this is, some of us would like to get some sleep."

"Sorry not sorry," Emily and I say at the same time, giggling afterwards. As Emily and I slowly settle down to sleep, I couldn't stop my mind from thinking. I am Emily Fields girlfriend and I couldn't be more happier in this moment if I tried. I wanted to shout it to the world, I am Emily Fields girlfriend!

No one else can be with Emily Fields, I am with her; she is mine! My protectiveness and jealousness only grew as our relationship built up but Emily knew how to settle me down. I do trust Emily, it's everyone else I don't trust. I mean have you seen her body, it's beautiful, she's beautiful and mine!

The End.
