If I love you was a promise

CHAPTER 8: Ghost

After her talk with Helena, Dani decided it was the moment to make a toast. 

She started clinking her glass, standing by the pool asking for everyone's attention before saying: "Hello everyone, I know this might be the beginning of a weird speech but I wanted to thank you all for being here even if I don't know all of you. Anyway, I will keep it short. As you know we are celebrating my new house has a symbol of a new beginning so I hope you really are enjoying this party and thank you again. I look forward to meeting all of you."

After her speech, a few people came to her willing to meet her, getting to know each other so they can keep in touch.

Dani was feeling excited about this evening, this party she had built with Bette's help. She knew she had new friends including Helena as one she bets would help her a lot in the future. She also had a feeling about that night as if something new was coming.

The party was going really well, Bette had ordered other packs of beer and even for some Chinese food. The conversations came streaming, Alice was talking to Micah about her ideas for the show and Shane was listening to them trying to keep up, avoiding Quiara's insisting stares.

Dani was having a conversation with Helena and Tina who managed to come. They'd been friends for a while now and had a lot in common, they seemed close and talked about being a mother and how hard it was from time to time but also how amazing that was. Helena agreed to that.

After a while, Dani decided to go up for a bit on the balcony above the terrace to smoke a cigarette. She took the packet out of her pocket and lit one. She sat on a wooden armchair observing the sky, the cigarette hanging out of her mouth. 

She turned her head to see what were her friends doing, but she found herself facing a familiar silhouette.

« Emily?! » She took her breath away. She felt like she had seen a ghost. Some lost memory from the past coming back to haunt her. 

She remembered everything about the mysterious woman.

*Flashback*

One evening back in college, when Dani was studying for her PR degree, she was desperately searching for this book mentioned by the professor. After desperately looking for it for a while, she found it and was about to grab it when she felt a resistance on the other side of the shelf. 

Someone was grabbing it too. As desperate as she was about getting a good grade Dani said to the stranger:

« I'm sorry, do you even see what you're grabbing? Cause I'm the one facing the book's spine. » Suddenly, a brunette with an amazing olive skin came to the other side of the shelf to face Dani.

« Easy, I come in peace. I'm just so used to this book that I know where it is, sorry. I'm Emily, Emily Fields. » she replied, with a bit of a Canadian accent.

Dani was absolutely charmed by the woman. She was a beautiful with long hair black as night with eyes that shone in a particular way. She was wearing a red leather jacket with black jeans and boots. 

Dani remained with her mouth opened before noticing that Emily could see that too.

« I'm Dani, Dani Nuñez » she said softly, with a gentle smile on her face, offering her hand that the brunette decided to shake.

Emily seemed pretty charmed too. There was this familiar tension between them. After that, they became inseparable and soon enough they ended up dating after admitting their feelings for each other, obvious feelings Dani thought.

At some point in their relationship, Emily had planned this romantic evening, the both of them knew this would be their first time. 

The date had been great and they finally got back home from a ride that felt like forever. They walked up to the apartment and Dani took out her key. She tried putting it into the key hole without success because of how nervous she was. 

Emily gently took the key from her hand and unlocked the door herself.

They entered the apartment and the tension grew. Emily quietly came towards Dani and began stroking her hair. The latina felt electrified for some reason, she had the urge to do something about this tension. She wanted Emily so badly. 

The next thing she knew is that they ended up kissing more insistently than usual. Dani was holding Emily's face in her palms deepening the kiss every time she could. Emily loved hearing the tiny noises Dani was making each time they kissed this way. 

Dani pressed harder against Emily's lips and started to unbutton her shirt. She then took her own shirt off in a rush and unhooked the brunette's bra cautiously slipping it off. 

She then stared at Emily who saw the intensity of the latina's desire for her who then looked at her breast, firm and blooming. She decided to throw her bra to the side before crashing her lips into hers once again.

« God Dani » Emily moaned. She went down her neck to then lick it up to her earlobe causing Emily to moan even louder.

Suddenly Dani's memory was interrupted by the brunette repeatedly calling her:

« Dani! ... Dani! Are you here? Planet earth for Dani. » Emily said a bit concerned.
