"The Neighbors"

Okay, okay, I hear you. I'm very excited for you to read the next few chapters. I thought a lot about what should happen next and what should happen in the near future. I appreciate that you want me to keep posting updates so quickly but that wouldn't be fair to those of you who are waiting on other stories. I don't want to rush my writing and end up writing myself into a corner. I think this is a good pace for the story and I think you'll be excited to read what I've come up with.

Just so you know I never planned on doing this to such an extent. I gave PLL the chance to redeem Maya in season three but I felt they failed us and themselves and Bianca Lawson. That's when I decided to try and make things right with Maya. This character deserved so much better than she got. So when I started writing (and I'm not a writer, these stories are the first ones I've ever done), I had no idea it would turn into this.

I also feel like I write more like a script than a novel and that's because I want it to play out like a movie giving you a clear visual of what's happening in the story. Though someone made mention of me needing to change points of view and use a Thesaurus. I am intrigued by the suggestion to use Josh and Ryan's points of views, we'll see. And I do use a Thesaurus so I'm not exactly sure what you want me to Thesaur…any examples you'd care to share?

Anyway I hope you continue to enjoy this story as much as I enjoy bringing it to you!

Chapter 11: A Date? A Date. A Date!

Emily POV

It's just a few days until the big Art Show at Maya's gallery. She's been busy organizing her paintings and getting them to the city. I've been studying like mad to make sure I don't have to fake my knowledge of the paintings that are being shown or their artists. I'm also getting anxious about random people seeing me naked especially since I haven't seen the finished portrait. Maya wants me to see it hanging in the gallery because she says it will leave me with a whole new perspective of art and of myself. I'm just glad Ryan and Josh won't be there to see it. I'd rather explain it to Ryan after the fact otherwise I might lose the nerve to let it be in the show. Just then my cell rings, its Ryan,

"Hey babe, are you busy?"

"No, not really, I'm just finishing up packing some of your things for your business trip."

"Oh, you know you didn't have to do that."

"I know but I wanted to." More so out of guilt from thinking about Maya all the time instead of you.

"So do you think you can come next door for a minute or do you need more time?"

"Oh, no, I'll come right over," I say kind of excitedly but then retract. "Umm, let me just pack the last few things unless you need me to come by right now," I say trying to cover up my exhilaration.

"No, no finish what you're doing and then come over."

"Okay see you in a bit."

I rush into the bathroom to fix my hair and put on some makeup for…Maya. It's been a few days since I last saw her and touched her and kissed her in my study and I kind of want to make sure she remembers what's she's been missing. Oh Emily, you really need to get a hold of yourself especially in front of Josh and Ryan. But all I can think about is her and looking good for her so of course my ego wins out as I decide to change my clothes too! I put on my sexy black lace bra and black lace hipsters just in case she sneaks a peak, and my nicer jeans, flats and a v neck sweater, a very tight v neck sweater. I only hope Maya notices…

At the Graysons…

"Hey everyone. What's going on?"

"Wow, don't you look nice, and sexy," she mouths to me focusing on my breasts just like I wanted her to. She licks her lips while eye sexing me making me blush a thousand shades of red.

"Yeah you do look nice," agrees Ryan. "It's perfect since you'll be going out with Maya."

"I will?" I question trying not to sound too ecstatic.

"Yeah, Maya, you wouldn't mind taking Emily out for a few maybe three hours tonight, would you?" asks Josh hopefully.

"Uhh, no, no, not at all. I'd love to," she responds looking me up and down the whole time. How our husbands don't notice is beyond me!

"Good, cuz Ryan and I are doing some serious work stuff to prepare for our big meeting on Thursday and we kind of need zero distractions so we can get this finished on time. You don't mind do you?" asks Josh adoringly.

"Of course not. I would be happy to spend the night with Emily," Maya states so nonchalantly with a wicked eyebrow arch making my entire body shiver from her words. She speaks so openly and no one suspects a thing! Wait a minute, has she done this before, stray from her husband and gotten away with it?

"Yeah why don't you go to a movie or something," suggests Ryan.

"A movie, I like that idea," smiles Maya mischievously. She looks me right in the eye making sure I get what she means. Oh, I so get it. We're going to the movie theater you go to when you're not really going to see the movie. Now my chest is rising making my sweater squeeze me even tighter pushing up my breasts. I can see her eyes noticing as she bites into her lower lip while the images of her lips on mine overtake my thoughts forcing me to shake my head back into reality.

"I'm just gonna put something else on since Emily looks so…nice," Maya finally gets out as she can't take her eyes off my heaving bosom.

Maya retreats to her bedroom to change while I wait all aflutter for her to return. The husbands are busying themselves with their work so I don't even think they are aware of anything more than just a good friendship between Maya and me but that doesn't keep me from, once again, silently freaking out. I mean making out is one thing but sex with another woman? Has she ever had sex with a woman? Oh my god, what if she's experienced? What if I'm not good? What if I don't like it? What if…

"Em. Hey Em. Hello?"

"Huh, what?"

"You looked really deep in thought and now you seem really nervous. Is everything okay?" she asks as she gently pushes the strands of hair that have fallen over my eyes off of my face. I love it when she does that. I take my eyes off the floor to look at her and my mouth falls open when I see her sexy body in those form fitting jeans and what a form she has especially with those knee high black leather boots! She's wearing a low cut sleeveless top with her black bra strap slipping down her shoulder (I know she did that on purpose) and she knows I like it!

"You two look amazing. If I didn't know any better I would think the two of you were going out on a date," chuckles Josh.

Oh my god! A date? A date.A date!

"He's right you know. I should be jealous," affirms Ryan as he walks over to me embracing me with a kiss on the cheek.

"I think it's nice that they want to look good when they go out together. Just do us a favor and keep the flirting with the guys, who will definitely be checking you out, to a minimum," jokes Josh as he too hugs Maya kissing her on the lips. Damn! I can't stand it when he does that right in front of me!

"You deserve a night off from thinking about the art show," asserts Ryan.

"So go on, have fun you two and don't even give Ryan and I a second thought," declares Josh.

No need to worry about that…

"Okay then, Em, are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."

Maya takes my hand, I so love it when she does that, leading me out of the house to her car. I go to open the passenger door but before I have the chance to, Maya reaches for the handle pressing the front of her body against the back of mine. Oh god, how I love the way she feels against me! She snuggles up to my ear to whisper with a sexy purr,

"I'm going to make this a date to remember."

Then she nuzzles my neck with her cute nose making my entire body go weak for her.

"Then I guess we should get going if you plan on making this date that memorable," I smile as she moves back to open the door for me.

"Oh Em, you have no idea..."

We drive away to the movie theater you go to when you're not really going to see the movie. Now I'm getting nervous. I thought we were just gonna make out but it sounds like she has a lot more on her mind to do with me. Damn Emily, just relax. You're where you want to be and you're with whom you want to be with which does take some weight off of my nervousness. I really am with whom I want to be with, aren't I?

"Do you want to grab a bite to eat before the movie?" asks Maya sweetly.

"No, I'm good. I honestly don't think I could eat anything right now."

"Why? Are you nervous to be alone with me?"

"What if I said yes?"

"Then I would say you have nothing to be nervous about but that would be a lie."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm a little nervous too, this being our first official date and all," she says with a wink. That beautiful sexy wink.

And all I can do is smile that smile she makes me smile…

In the meantime, Josh and Ryan have a plan of their own…

Josh POV

"I can't believe how easy it was to get them to go out together," recalls Ryan.

"Well, that's a good thing cuz we have a lot of work to do before they get back," I remind Ryan. Though they did look kind of… Nah, I shake my head, they've just been spending a lot of time together and I have to say, I'm glad she has Emily.

"Then lets clean up all these business reports so we don't have to worry about it in the morning," suggests Ryan.

"Do you have everything you need at your house?" I ask.

"Yep. They'll never suspect that we're going to give them the most romantic evening of their lives when they get home," smiles Ryan so proud of himself.

"Okay, if you need more candles, I've got plenty." I'm going to remind Maya of the first time we made love. Romantic, sexy, beautiful just like my wife.

"I think I'm good but if I need any more I know where to find some."

"So the caterers will be here in about an hour and a half to set up our romantic dinners for two," I inform Ryan.

"Great, let's see, I've got all Emily's favorite music programmed for our sound system, I've got the romantic ambiance, so all I need to do is set up the most perfect bedroom…"

"Okay, you can keep the details of your bedroom mystique to yourself." My, my Maya I can't wait to have you in my arms again, making love to you the way a man should make love to his wife. I go away so much leaving you to fend for yourself. Well, not tonight, because tonight is our night. Just the two of us…

"Sorry man."

"This is going to be a night they won't soon forget." The way it should be.

"I can't wait to see the looks on their faces."

Ryan and I clean up our business documents for our presentation. We are all set to go with our big meeting so now we can put all our energy into pampering our wives.

I feel so bad that I won't be at Maya's Art Show. This is such a huge deal for her, I just hope this romantic evening will be enough to say how sorry I am that I won't be able to be there for her in person. Maya, Maya, Maya, I love you so much! I am the luckiest man in the world to have fallen in love and married such an amazing woman like you. And I plan on saying all that to you and more tonight…

Meanwhile at the Movie Theater you go to when you're not going to see the movie…

Emily POV

"So, let's sit in the last row over to the side," points out Maya.

"Okay."

"Did you want any concessions?"

"No. I definitely don't want concessions."

"Em, it's gonna be fine. Just sit back and relax. If anything happens then it happens and if it doesn't it doesn't."

"Maya?"

"Yeah."

I take her hand in mine and say, "Have you ever done this before?"

"Done this before?"

"Yeah, have you ever done this with anyone besides me?"

"Oh, are you asking me if there were others?"

"Yes."

Maya squeezes my hand gently looking into my eyes to say, "Em, I've never had the urge to be with anyone but my husband until you came along. You make me feel things I've never felt before, not even Josh can make me feel this way. That's why I'm here with you right now." She kisses me lightly on the corner of my mouth just like the first time we accidentally kissed. I look at our hands when I say,

"Maya, I've never been with a woman."

"That makes two of us."

I look up at her smiling, letting her know that I feel a lot less pressured than I did a few minutes ago. I keep looking at her as the lights go down. There are very few people in the theater and no one even close to where we're sitting. I want to look away but I can't. No, I don't want to. She moves her hand to the side of my face keeping me looking in her direction. She smiles with her eyes as her hand slides to the back of my head. I can feel her warm breath against my lips as she pulls me towards her. I don't resist. The theater grows darker, our lips grow closer until they meet pressing softly against each other. I put my hand between Maya's legs slowly caressing the inside of her thigh, squeezing gently causing her to smile into the kiss. She moves back slightly to look into my eyes making sure I'm ready for more. And I am. She traces my lips with her tongue seeking permission to go further. Permission granted. Her tongue slides right in. She doesn't jab, it's not stiff; it's perfect. I never knew kissing could feel this way until I started kissing Maya. It's how love should feel, warm and inviting, hungry and sensual, fleeting and romantic, sexy and alive, vibrant and oh so right!

Maya moves the arm of her seat up bringing us closer together. At this point if anyone is watching, we really couldn't care less. Our bodies meet, my flesh spilling from my top, Maya takes the hair on the back of my head pulling it away from her giving her total access to my willing neck and my heaving bosom. Her lips touch my neck leaving a space for her tongue to explore me. She kisses down to my collarbone to my shoulder to the v in my sweater…

Slight moans escape my throat as I try to be quiet. I don't want to attract attention to us but as I open my eyes, I see that no one cares about the two women in the back of the theater making out. Her lips caress my breast gently tugging my flesh with her teeth. Oh god! I do like this! Who am I kidding? I knew I would like this!

"Maya, I want you so much."

"I want you too beautiful," she says, her words muffled from her mouth bearing down against my breast.

She moves her mouth away from me but still hovering close as she brings her hand to the v in my neck sliding the fabric over my breast. Her hand cups under me as she glides her thumb over the black lace rubbing my nipple back and forth making it rise for her. I know she wants to move my bra so her tongue can take over exploring more of me. Do I let her? Or do I stop this before we go too far?

I…
