Hanna's POV

As I rounded the corner to the Starbucks I took a deep breath and prepared myself. You can do this Hanna. Just be honest and open with her. Shes worth it. You can do it. I opened the door and walked in. As I let go of the door and looked up I was met the most beautiful women. Emily had just turned around from the line of receiving her drink and was now looking directly at me.

Well I guess it's now or never. I shot her a dimpled smile and walked towards her.

"Hey." Emily said to me as I was now standing in front of her.

"Hi." I said back. "Do you want to grab a table while I get my drink then we can talk?"

"Yeah, okay." She replied back with a smile and turned to fight a spot.

I quickly walked to the line and ordered my usual drink. I waited for my drink from the Barista and turned to find Emily. I stood and admired her as she sat in one of the larger chairs in the corner area of the Starbucks. Directly across from her was an identical chair for me. She sat with one leg crossed over the other. Emily was wearing a black semi tight tank top, light blue distressed shorts with a black and white plaid shirt wrapped around her waist. She looked so sexy. Just the simple way she pursed her lips and blew on her drink before she brought the cup up to her lips and took a sip. I couldn't help biting my lip and watching her. My eyes roamed down to her legs. The legs that made the simplest things look so good on her. I don't know if I should wonder why I don't have legs like that or wonder why those legs aren't wrapped around me.

Emily looked up and spotted me staring at her. She smirked at me and that was when I realized she was looking at me because the Barista was calling out my name for my drink. "Um Hanna? Hanna!" The Barista called trying to get my attention.

"Oh my god sorry." I said to the Barista and quickly grabbed my drink and headed to where Emily was sitting. I sat opposite to her and smiled as I sat my purse on the floor.

Emily watched me as I sat down with her sexy smirk still on her face.

"What?" I said smiling.

"Oh nothing, I'm just surprised your drink isn't cold since you got so distracted." Emily said licking her lips and staring at me.

I couldn't help but stare down at her lips. Oh my gosh, this girl is going to be the death of me!

"What are you talking about?" I said trying to cover up my previous staring, I looked down at my cup as I felt the warmth in my cheeks leading to my blushing.

"Really Hanna? You were biting your lip so hard I thought you were going to draw blood." Emily said laughing.

Ugh, I didn't think she was looking long enough to realize me staring at her like that. Great now she probably thinks I'm a creep.

"I um, um sorry, I didn't mean it's just that and then I looked over and I couldn't help but.-" I quickly started to ramble and couldn't stop, at least not until Emily cut me off.

"Hanna!" Emily playfully yelled at me.

"Yeah?" I gasp taking a breath internally thanking her from stopping me.

"You're rambling again. Just relax it's okay."

"Right, sorry I don't know why this happens." I said laughing trying to shake off my embarrassment.

"It's okay. Although, since we are on the topic of apologies I think I owe you one last one for our phone call the other day." Emily said biting at her lower lip nervously.

"Hey." I said softly to her trying to get her attention. "Don't worry about it I'm the one that should be sorry." I said reaching out and putting my hand on Emily's knee.

If I want something to ever happen between Emily and I or even for the two of us to just keep hanging out I have to be honest with her and tell her what's going on.

I inhaled and exhaled like they taught us to do at the yoga classes Spencer and I go to and I sat back in my chair. I looked Emily in the eyes and the way she stared back at me I could tell she knew what I was about to tell her was importantly. She sat there patiently and waited for me to talk. Spencer and Caleb are the only two people aside from my mom who I've ever really talked about my dad to. I mean what is there to say?

"Look, I don't really talk about this. Mostly because there isn't much to talk about and also because I learned along time ago he isn't really worth talking about. When you brought up my dad the other day I just got upset because I don't talk to him very often. He pays for my loft and I talk to him on birthdays and Christmas and even then it's only a simple text. My parents got a divorced a bit before I started high school. He moved out and I could probably count on one hand how many times I've seen him in person since then. So my dad hasn't said anything to me about being attracted to both sex because he doesn't take enough interest in my life to learn these things. I don't care much or ask much out of him though because I know how much the loft is and I appreciate him paying for that and helping out with school every once and a while. I guess it's the least he could do though." I say to Emily. I look over at her and she is simply just sitting there listening to ever word I said intently.

"Oh Hanna, I'm sorry. I think he's missing out though. If I was him I would totally want to take an interest in your life and be there to share moments with you."

"Yeah, but you can't make people care about you." I replied back to her.

"No, I guess you can't." She said sadly.

"Anyways, so yeah. That's why I acted that way. I'm sorry and I don't mean to be a bitch all the time."

"You're not a bitch Hanna, I understand talking about him must be hard. Aria's parents got a divorce when we were in high school and I remember how hard it was for her. So I can kind of get it. Just don't worry okay."

I can't believe she's taking this so well. I thought she'd be upset for how bitchy I was but yet she is totally understanding and sweet about it.

I lightly shook my cup and realized it was now empty. Emily's has been sitting on the table beside her for a few minutes now which told me she was either done with it or forgot about it while I was talking. I didn't want to end my time with Emily quite yet but I knew I had to hurry and get home so I could finish my design portfolio that was due this coming week.

"I'm happy I told you this. You're a great listener Em." I said smiling at her.

"Thanks, maybe it's because I like your company so I don't mind."

"I like your company too. But I do have to get home and finish up a portfolio that's due this week so-." Emily then cut me off before I could finish my sentence.

"Could I walk you home?" She asked and I could hear the nervousness in her voice.

"Yeah actually. I'd like that." We both got up and threw our cups in the trash. As we got to the door Emily held the door open for me allowing me to go first and lead the way.

We left the Starbucks and began to head towards my apartment that was about 15 minutes away. At first the two of us didn't say anything we both just seemed to be comfortable walking closely down the street with each other.

The streets were busy and the cars were driving past. The sun was shining and the chatter of people walking to and from could be heard. We walked for nearly 5 minutes in silence until Emily finally spoke up.

"So I was wondering, if you wanted to go on a date with me next weekend. I know you're probably really busy with school especially since we all graduate from our first 4 years soon but I'd love to take you out on a date."

"Well you're in luck then because I'd love to go on a date with you." I say flashing her a smile.

"Really? Okay great. I was thinking maybe like mini golfing or something?" She said clearly not knowing if I would be interested in something like that.

I exhaled in relief. "Mini golf. Sure, sounds like fun. Just as long as it's not bowling, because that's just nasty. I mean like hello people, you're all wearing the same shoes. It's like the want to get athletes foot or whatever." I said to Emily totally disgusted with the aspect of wearing shoes that 100 other stranger have worn at one time.

"Well considering I'm not very good at bowling I don't think I'd ever ask you to go there on a date." Emily said to me chuckling.

"Thank god because I would hate to have to turn down that gorgeous face." I said smirking and then realizing what I just said. My face quickly turning red.

"Well I'll just remember that. Although, I am good at swimming so watch your back." She said winking at me.

"Oh really, so what are you like some fish or something?" I ask laughing.

"I might as well be. Until I hurt my shoulder in high school I used to swim competitively. I won metals and broke a few records back then but lost my scholarship after the accident." Emily told me seeming pretty proud of herself until the end.

"Awe, well what happened with your shoulder?" I asked her.

"Aria, Alison and I were all out one night coming from a late movie. As we're walking home some asshole comes out of nowhere and almost runs us all over. I actually managed to push us all out of the way but of course with my luck after jumping out of the way I bashed my shoulder on a rock as I hit the ground." Emily said sadly.

"Oh well I'm sorry to hear that. It must have really sucked for something like that to happen to you." I said sympathetically, turning my head and giving her a small smile.

"It's fine, it's in the past. Plus it's not like I can't swim anymore. I just can't swim competitively anymore so at least I can still do what I love." Emily said smiling at me.

"Yeah I guess it's better to have something than nothing."

Before I knew it we were nearing my loft. We walked the last block away and came up to the door step. I was contemplating if I should ask Emily to come in or not. Although, I didn't know if she had any plans and I didn't want to keep her much longer if she did. I also didn't want to see her go either and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.

"Well I guess this is it. I say stepping up one of the stairs." I was now looking down at Emily nearly an inch taller than her. "Thanks for walking me home."

"No problem. I had fun hanging out with you today." Emily said and I noticed she took a small step towards me.

"I had fun too. Do you um, I don't know maybe want to come in?" I say pointing behind me and pointing to the door to the apartment lofts.

"I'd love to but I think I'm going to head home. Plus you said you had to work on your portfolio and I don't want to distract you anymore than I already have." Emily said to me flashing me her sexy smirk one last time.

"Yeah okay, I guess you're right." I said to her feeling a bit disappointed.

"So we will say around 7 next Saturday?" Emily asked me referring to our upcoming date.

"Yeah sure that sounds perfect." I say smiling back at her.

"Great, now that I know where you live I will pick you up then."

"Alright, I'm looking forward to it."

I watched as Emily's roamed to and from my eyes to lips. I knew what was to come next and If I'm being honest I was totally looking forward to it. It has felt like forever since my lips touched her plump, beautiful ones. She took one more small step toward me so that she was closer to the step I was standing on. I leaned in an placed a hand on her cheek as I brought our lips together. The kiss was filled with a passion that I have never felt with anyone else before. Our lips moved in sync with each other until we both stopped to catch our breaths.

"I guess I'll get going." Emily said to me and took a step back.

"Alright, I guess so. Bye." I say smiling at her. She returns the smile and begins to turn around. I watch her as she walks away just staring at her toned olive skinned legs. Well Marin, you did good. You did good!

It might not have been as hot and steamy like my dream was last night but it was totally worth every second of it to get to spend time with Emily and feel those lips on mine again. I would give up chocolate chip cookies if it meant I could kiss Emily whenever I felt like it.

I walked into the building and took the elevator up to my loft level. I unlocked the door and walked into my living room area and dropped my purse onto my coffee table and sat down on the couch. I picked up the TV remote and also turned on my Apple TV box. I turned on one of my pop playlists and place my phone and the remote onto the coffee table beside my purse.

I got up and headed towards my kitchen. I started rooting through the fridge and pantry looking for something to cook for myself for dinner. Even though I just saw her I couldn't get Emily off of my mind. I wanted to see her again already. This was getting bad. I'm really starting to like this girl. Oh no. I have to call Spencer!
