Hey guys, I hope the last chapter made up for the short chapter before it. Thanks again for everything. You're all great. Today is my first day off in a few days so I wanted to get a chapter out to you guys. So here's chapter 5.
Emily's POV
Evening, day after the party.
"Then she bolted out of my apartment practically burning a hole in my floor." I said recapping the previous events to Aria over the phone.
"No way! Wow I wonder what her problem was. I mean who just does that? She's obviously not much of a morning person." Aria replied back clearly shocked on how Hanna left my house earlier today.
"I just don't get it Aria. I wouldn't have mind if she stayed and had breakfast or a tea or something." I said sighing.
"Emily you don't seriously have a thing for her do you?"
"I don't know maybe I do. Would it be that bad if I did? You're the one that wanted me to get back out there remember." Gosh, she wanted me to go out and get over Paige and now shes upset that I found someone I like. Make up your mind Montgomery.
"Come on Em. You know better than to have a thing for the rebound girl. It's like a heart break waiting to happen." A part of me knew she was right but it was taken over by the other part of me that was replaying Hanna's laugh and the sexy way she moaned in my ear. "Um Em. Em! Emily!?" I came back to reality from Aria yelling my name through the phone.
"Huh?" I said back to her. "Sorry what did you say?"
"I said what if she isn't even really into girls and it was just a drunk experiment for her? Then maybe that's why she ran out of your apartment this morning. That's the only logical explanation I can think of." Aria said to me trying to help me figure out why Hanna did leave the way she did.
"I don't know Aria. She definitely knew what she was doing like she had done it before. I just wish I could talk to her and ask her why she left so suddenly this morning that's all."
"I just don't want you to get your hopes up Em. I mean you were both drunk and you slept together then in the morning she left. But if you really are into her I can message Spencer and get her number for you."
"No, it's okay never mind. Maybe you're right. I guess she really just isn't that into me." I said to Aria. "Well I'm gonna go and finish my paper that's do this week. I'll talk to you later."
"Em I don't mean to be an ass about this I just don't want you to get your heart broken again and then me having to come and pick up the pieces."
"Well I'm sorry my relationships are such an inconvenience for you Aria." I can't believe she's going to throw my love life back in my face.
"I didn't mean it like that and you know it! I just hate seeing you sad all the time." Aria said trying to fix the growing argument between us.
"Yeah okay well I'm just gonna go then. I'll talk to you later." I hung up on Aria before she got the chance to say goodbye clearly annoyed.
I know that there was something between Hanna and I even if it was only a one night stand. I know that Aria also means well but I just thought she'd be a bit more supportive that I'm getting back out there. A part of me feels like maybe Aria was right, Hanna might not be into me at all. I just wish I got the chance to figure out. Too bad she left so quickly this morning.
Trying to take my mind off of the beautiful blonde bombshell I picked up my laptop and began to work on my paper that was due at the end of this week.

Hanna's POV
"So wait a second. She offered you tea and you completely rejected her and left?" Spencer said to me as we sat on the couch in my loft.
"Well I did totally break the code!" I said back to her.
"What code?" Spencer looked at me confused.
"Ugh, you know the One Night Stand Code. You're never supposed to spend the night. And I did!" I said sinking into the couch.
"So she seemed really into you. Plus don't think I didn't notice the way she was staring at you and the way you turned into a babbling idiot around her."
"Okay so what's your point?" I asked her annoyed with where this conversation was going.
"My point is that... God Hanna what is wrong with you?!" Spencer yelled, totally not helping my headache. "You're into her, she's into you, what's so wrong with that?"
"I don't know, but I mean I don't even know if she's really even into girls, or if she was just being friendly this morning or what!" I said sighing and sinking further into the couch.
"Well you could have at least stuck around to see if there was something there than just a bang. I say you text her and apologize." Spencer said to me.
"Um yeah.. about that. I don't really have her number." I said to her covering my face feeling totally embarrassed.
"Seriously Han, you didn't get her number at least before you bolted from her house?!" Spencer said hitting my shoulder playfully.
"My game has totally gone to shit!"
"Clearly. Okay, I have an idea. I'll text Aria and ask her for Emily's number. Then I'll give it to you and then you can call her and apologize. Actually, why don't you text her. Y'know just to avoid the manic rambling." Spencer said chuckling as she pulled out her phone.
"No wait!" I said stopping her from unlocking her phone. "Don't do that she probably doesn't even like me so why waste my time."
"Come on Han, don't chicken out!"
"I'm not chickening out. I just don't think I need a relationship right now or whatever."
"Hanna you haven't had a real relationship in like a year and even that didn't even last long."
"Yeah, well that girl was annoying and don't even get me started on the guy before that!"
"Alright Hanna, whatever you say! I just think you might like her. From the time I spent with her and Aria she seemed really cool and down to earth. She's your type Han!" Spencer said trying to convince me and honestly I was starting to feel fed up.
"Can we just drop this please!"
"Alright fine! I just don't think you should give up." Spencer said giving up. Even though deep down I knew though that I wouldn't hear the end of this conversation.
"Okay, so are we going to watch Gossip Girl or Gilmore Girls?" I asked Spence as I picked up the remote and started going through Netflix.
"Ugh, why can't we watch something interesting? Like oh! There's this new crime documentary on Netflix about this guy that-."
"Yeah um, as good as that sounds Nancy Drew. I don't think that's what we should watch for our girls night."
"Ugh fine, but we're watching Gilmore Girls then." Spencer said getting up from the couch.
"Wait where are you going?" I asked her.
"To grab the ice cream or do you want to binge watch Netflix without Ben and Jerry."
"No, no, I don't. Okay, continue." I said finding Gilmore Girls and getting to the episode we were on from the previous day.
"Maybe Spencer's right. Maybe I shouldn't give up on Emily but right now I've embarrassed myself enough for one day. I guess only time will tell, or something cliche like that that Spencer would probably say.

Aria's POV
Emily and I's conversation from the other day was starting to bug me. Even though our argument cleared over she was still in a bit of a funk over Hanna. Being tired of seeing her down once again I decided to take action. So I waited until I got a chance alone and called the person who could help me the best.
"Hey Aria." the voice said on the other end of the phone.
"Could you please tell me what happened the other night because Emily isn't the only one that's confused."
"Well you aren't the only ones that are confused because I am too. But Hanna says she really likes her though." Spencer said to me.
"She really likes her? What!? So why would she rush out of there like rushing bulls were chasing after her?" I can't believe this she likes her but she left like that whats wrong with her?
"Hanna has some... issues. She thinks she shouldn't have spent the night because it broke the code and-."
"Wait what code?" I asked. Code? What is she even talking about?
"The One Night Stand Code. I don't know it's some weird thing I guess Hanna told me about it but that's not the point though. She didn't know if Emily even likes girls or if she was even really into her." Spencer told me.
"Well Spence you know that Emily use to date Paige so she is into girls. Emily actually likes Hanna even after I tried convincing her not to like the rebound girl but of course she did."
"Well I tried talking to Hanna but she won't listen to me either. I told her to talk to Emily and apologize but she won't. Honestly, I think shes scared she will embarrass herself again but then again maybe third time really would be the charm for her." Spencer said to me. Deep down I was hoping she was right.
"So what do you think we should do?" I asked Spencer hoping she has a plan like always.
"Well, I have a plan. It's a long shot but I think it just might work." Spencer said to me.
I guess it's now or never. Talking to Spencer convinced me that maybe Hanna truly does like Emily and the two just need a little nudge to figure things out and actually talk. I guess we will see how Spencer's plan goes. But then again when does one of Spencer Hastings plans ever go awry.

No Ones POV
It has been over a week since Hanna and Emily hooked up the night of Ali's party. Neither of them made an effort to contact the other and both declined their friends offers of getting the others number. Little did they know that Spencer and Aria both created a plan for the two to meet again and talk over what happened the other week.
It was 11 am and Emily was at Starbucks like she always is every Sunday morning. She just finished ordering and was waiting in line for her drink. What the brunette failed to notice was the blonde girl that entered the Starbucks shortly after she began to wait for her drink.
Hanna ran into the Starbucks to grab her and Spencer's orders before she picked her up for their day out today. She got in the line and waited like everyone else. Unbeknownst to the girl that has been running through her head the past week in front of her.
"Ugh, could this line get any slower. Not only am I already late meeting Spencer but the lines also taking forever. Great I won't here the end of this." Hanna said under her breath.
"Hi, what can I get you?" The Barista finally asked Hanna. Ugh Finally!
"Can I get a an Iced Caramel Macchiato and a chocolate chip cookie. Also, a-."
"Grande Chai Tea Latte for Emily." The Barista at the far end of the counter said passing a drink to a newly familiar brunette. OMG she's here what do I do? Do I talk to her? Has she seen me? Should I run or should I stay and... Hanna thought to herself.
"Um miss?" The Barista said to her pulling Hanna out of her own thoughts.
"Oh shit right sorry. The last thing was a White Chocolate Mocha with a triple shot of espresso." She said ordering Spencer's drink.
Hanna paid for the order and started walking to the waiting area. She watched as Emily grabbed her drink and slipped into her regular booth near the back of the shop. As Hanna waited for the drinks to come she debated on whether or not she should go and talk to Emily and apologize for her actions the previous week. Since she wasn't drunk this time around she thought she might not make quite a fool of herself like she did before. Once she got hers and Spencer's drinks she walked over to Emily who was seated with her back to her. She prayed for the best as she got closer.
"Hey Emily." Hanna said to Emily as she walked up to the table.
Emily who was surprised to see Hanna, and even more surprised that she was talking to her after the previous week said nothing.
"Could I sit down? Look I know what I did was a total bitch move but I'd like to explain." Hanna said looking down afraid to hear Emily's response.
"Yeah I guess. Just try not to bolt again this time. I don't think the owner would like burn marks in their tiles." Emily said doing a poor job of trying to make light of the conversation.
Hanna sat down across Emily and placed the drinks and cookie she was holding on the table.
"I just want to say that well I'm sorry for how I left the other morning."
"Hanna you don't have to apologize to me. It's not like we're actually together. We got drunk and slept together and in the morning you left it's okay." Emily said to Hanna trying to help out the situation even though she wished so badly the blonde would have stayed.
"See that's the thing. We slept together and I stayed the night I totally broke the code. I shouldn't have stayed the night. This whole thing could have been avoided if I would have just left when I should have."
"Wait are you serious? You left because you broke some weird code about spending the night after you sleep with some random person? Did you really think I cared that you stayed the night?" Emily was completely caught off guard by Hanna's confession. I can't believe that's why she left. Here I thought she just didn't like me or was just a drunk and wild straight girl.
"Yeah. I'm sorry Emily. I enjoyed that night and you seem really cool I just wish we could start over. I totally messed everything up with my rambling and running away and I just wish it all didn't happen. Well the rambling and the running away that is. Not the other stuff because you were a lot of fun." Hanna said smiling at Emily with her adorable dimples.
"Well thanks. You weren't so bad yourself. Maybe we can start over." Emily said smiling back at Hanna.
"Great. Give me your phone." Emily unlocked her phone and handed it to Hanna.
Hanna quickly took the phone and added her number to Emily's contacts then called it.
"There now you have my number." Hanna said looking down at her phone and letting Emily see her number pop up on her phones screen.
About 5 seconds later a text message from Spencer came in.
"Where are you? You better not show up to my house empty handed!" Spencer's text read.
"Ugh that's Spencer. I was supposed to pick her up 10 minutes ago and go to the mall with her. Nancy Drew probably needs to pick up a new magnify glass." Hanna said to Emily who chuckled at the comparison.
"Well I better not keep you then. I'll text you." Emily said smirking at the girl who was already standing with her drinks and cookie back in her hands.
"I'm totally looking forward to it. Bye" Hanna said smiling and turning to walk away.
"Oh Hanna." Emily said stopping Hanna from walking any further. "It was the running away I didn't like.. not the rambling. The ramblings actually pretty cute." Emily said shyly.
"Well I guess I'll have to take your word on it. See you around Emily." Hanna said turning around and walking away. She took a few steps and turned around to find Emily looking back at her and watching her leave. Hanna winked at her and then continued to leave the Starbucks.

No Ones POV
10 Minutes later at Spencer and Toby's loft
Hanna finally got to Spencer's and honked the horn of her car to let Spencer know she was finally there. About 2 minutes later Spencer came out and got in the car.
"Well someone looks happy even though they're running like 20 minutes behind today." Spencer said to Hanna noticing the giant smile that she was sporting.
"Yeah well guess who I ran into at the Starbucks!" Hanna said to Spencer who could hear the excitement from her voice.
"Hmm, I don't know.. Bradley Cooper?" Spencer said joking around with Hanna about the Philadelphia native.
"What? No. I saw Emily there." Hanna said practically dancing in the drivers seat.
"Oh? And how did it go." Spencer asked her.
"Good we talked and decided to just start over and I even got her number. See! Who said Hanna Marin doesn't have game?"
"Um I'm pretty sure you're the one that said that last week." Hanna then shot Spencer a look telling her to stop talking. "But that's good though. So can we go now or do you need a minute to relax before driving?" Spencer said laughing and grabbing her drink from the holder and taking a sip.
"No I'm fine lets go."
They began their drive to the mall as Spencer pulled out her phone.
"It's done, it worked!" Spencer texted to Aria.
"Yes! Good job Hastings." Aria texted back to Spencer.
I hope you all liked this chapter. I tried to make it longer for you all since it might be a few days until I get another chapter up because of work. I already have some things planned to rock the boat a bit for these ladies. Until next time.
