The sun beamed all over the expanse of the Dickinson’s garden, warming up Emily’s face as she decided to spend her morning outside, leaning on her favorite three and just soaking up in the calmness that was the nature. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back on the tree’s trunk surface to take a few moments of quietness in, smiling widely when she heard a few birds chirping around her, setting a warm and fuzzy feeling in her chest that always put her in a good mood. "Emily!"

The brown haired girl sighed loudly at her moment being ruined and tried to drown the sound away, but she heard it again a few seconds later and inevitably opened her eyes and turned towards the source of the sound coming from her right side, right where her house was, "yes?" Emily had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes when her mother called her name once again, ignoring her answering to her calls and making her sit up and abandon her morning in the nature to go and see whatever she needed from her.

"Emily?! Emily?!" The brown haired girl scoffed under her breath on her way back to her house, she knew her mother had head her when she was leaning on the tree but called her over nonetheless and was keeping calling her despite seeing her walking over her house, "oh Emily, dear, you’re here."

"Yes mom, what did you need? I was enjoying my day out in nature."

"I am sure it can wait, honey. I need you to go fetch water."

"Why can’t Austin or Lavinia do it?"

As if on cue the blonde made her appearance from behind Emily’s mother with what Emily deemed her trademark adorable frown since they were kids, "I did it yesterday and Austin is a man. He can’t do it."

"Right, you would believe he would be perfect for it since men’s are always bragging about themselves being strong, stronger than women, when in fact they are staying all day behind a desk while women do all the physical, exhausting stuff."

"You’re talking nonsense sweetheart." Emily rolled her eyes right in her mother’s face and grabbed the two empty buckets she had in her hands and trudged begrudgingly outside her house to walk towards the well to go fetch water as her mother asked her to.

-

"Oh no, I’m so sorry! I should’ve watched where I was going! Oh no, your dress is completely drenched, here let me help you." In mere seconds Emily bumped accidentally into a girl carrying four buckets full of water, resulting in one of them spilling over her blu navy dress, but got also got flooded with a multitude of rushed words of regret and of apology, an adorable sight that made Emily forget about her dress being completely drenched in the late summer weather.

"Don’t worry, it’s totally fine. I wasn’t watching where I was going, I had my head elsewhere. So I should be the one apologizing." Emily smiled reassuringly at the distressed girl as she desperately tried to find something to dry Emily’s dress.

"No, no. It was my fault!"

Emily tried to look at the girl’s face but it was completely covered by her hair cascading in front of it as she had her head down in search of a cloth in her small apron’s pocket she had around her hips, "I insist on taking the blame. Hey, please stop worrying. It will dry up eventually, it’s not a big deal."

"No, no. It should be here. I had it here an hour ago!"

"Hey, please. Relax, take a deep breath." Emily tried to calm the girl down and for the first time she seemed to do listen to her, sighing loudly as she took her hands out of her apron’s pocket and lifted her head up slowly.

Emily felt like the world stopped existing for just a moment when her eyes met the girl’s ones, establishing a connection that send a thrill down her spine and that lighted up her whole body, a sensation she had never felt before. "Are you okay?"

Emily took her time to commit to memory every single feature on the girl’s face, from the perfect slope of her nose to the soft bump of her cheekbones, from the gentle but still defined angle of her jaw, to the smooth surface of her chin and finally focusing all her attention on the plumpness of her velvety lips. Emily almost got lost again in the vastness of the girl’s eyes when she met them again that she almost forgot to answer the girl’s question, making her appear a bit dumb in front of her for gawking at her, "yeah, yes. I’m fine. Totally fine. Great. Hm-." Emily cleared her throat to stop herself from embarrassing herself some more continued with a regained composure, "how about you? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am fine. Thank you."

"Good, I’m glad to hear that." Emily smiled gently at the girl before shaking her head as if she was the dumbest person on earth, "I’m Emily by the way."

"Y/N." The girl smiled gently at the poet while putting a strand of hair that fell in front of her face behind her ear, a gesture that made Emily’s brain melt as she took in the girl’s beauty.

"Y/N." Emily repeated, testing the girl’s name out, feeling a warmth spreading throughout her entire body as the name rolled over her tongue. "I like it. Y/N. It’s a really pretty name."

"Thank you. Emily is a great name too."

"Yeah, it has a Latin origin, it-."

"It’s a Roman name. It means laborious and eager among other things." Y/N interjected the brunette before she could speak and Emily had never felt so infatuated by someone in so little time.

"Yeah, how do you know that?"

"I like reading a lot. I do it whenever I can." Emily didn’t know it could have been possibile being interested in someone in so very little time, but she was starting to feel something for this girl, something she had only felt for one person only before.

"I like that too, a lot. What are you reading right now?"

"I just finished reading ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’ by Dickens. I liked it. What about you?"

"I am in the middle of reading The Divine Comedy by Dante. I’m halfway through Inferno."

"Oh I liked it a lot even though Purgatorio and Paradiso are just as beautiful. I mean his writing style gets more complex and more refined after each part."

Emily felt like she was floating through a new dimension where only Y/N and her existed, instigating a myriad of new emotions Emily never felt before that mixed with a few ones she only felt for Sue. "Wow, I-. I don’t know what to say. It’s the first time I hear someone talk about Dante’s amazing work without it being repeated from some stupid journalist’s review. No one really care to really read it. Or at least comprehend its real meaning behind his words."

"Because not everyone can see through what’s in front of them. There’s beauty hidden in every single thing we know, creating something new that just awaits to be discovered, studied. Most people just waits for someone else to do it." Y/N reasoned with a shrug, like she just didn’t made Emily fall madly in love with her brain.

"Wow- I- I feel like you had been in my mind and found a way to make it speak for itself. You-."

"Y/N! Are you ready to go?!" The poet got interrupted by a loud voice coming from behind Emily and when she turned around to look at who was yelling, she found a middle-aged woman with blonde hair styled in a perfect, classy bun, a blue dress with an apron on her front similar to Y/N’s one waving at her from the grocery’s shop a few feet from them.

"Sorry, I need to go. It was great talking with you Emily."

Emily felt her stomach drop at the aspect of having to part ways with Y/N, trying to find a way to prolong their time together. As she closed herself in her mind to think she didn’t notice Y/N refilling the bucket she unwillingly spilled over Emily and walked towards the woman, saluting Emily with a small nod. The gesture pulled Emily out of her thoughts and coming up empty-handed with ideas to make Y/N stay with her a bit longer, she could only sigh out loud, resigned but also completely smitten for the Y/H/C girl, before letting out softly, "the pleasure was all mine Y/N."

-

"Emily, where is the water?"

"What?" Emily got ripped out of her own thoughts full of the mysterious and intriguing Y/N by her mother as soon as she entered her house, her mother stopping her in their small hallway in front of the door and the living rooms before she could run upstairs and let her thoughts flow freely as she wrote a poem or two.

"The water Emily. I sent you fetching water an hour ago. Where is it?"

"Oh shit!" Emily just then noticed she came home empty-handed, she forgot her empty buckets at the well after her encounter with Y/N. "I forgot them at the well!"

"How?! You went there just for fetching water. How did you manage to forget that Emily?"

"I- I gotta go. Later!"

"Emily!"

"I don’t have time mom, I need to-." Emily got stopped mid-sentence and in her track towards her house’s door by her mother’s authoritative voice calling her from the living room.

"Emily! Come here, now."

"Mom, I have everything under control. I got distracted and I forgot the buckets there. I will be quick. I will go get them, fetch water and come back here." Emily explained quickly, hoping her mother wouldn’t be so much angry at herself for not doing what she asked her to do and getting ready for her scolding when she sighed out loud, pinched the bridge of her nose angrily and closed her eyes.

"It’s not that Emily. You are always avoiding doing chores, always complaining about them and never doing them in the end. It’s time for you to grow up. You will need to know how to be a proper housewife."

"But mom, I-."

"No buts." Emily’s mother ended their discussion with those final words spoken with authority and nodded at her daughter when she nodded dejected at her not winning this argument. "Since Lavinia is going to get a few groceries from the store and I’m going with her with the carriage, I’m going to go fetch water, while you’ll go into your room and think about what you did."

"Okay, mom. I’m so sorry." Emily’s mother smiled gently at her daughter for apologizing and laid a soft kiss on her forehead before she walked towards the stairs that would led to the first floor where the bedrooms were. She smiled apologetically at her mother once again but before she could go up the stairs and into her room to think and most importantly let her mind flow with writing her poems, she got stopped in her tracks.

"What is happening here?" Emily turned around at the sound of her father’s voice reaching her ears as he made his way into the living room after exiting his office, where he had been holed up the whole morning.

"Edward, your daughter Emily this morning was tasked to go fetch water and after disappearing for more than an hour, she also forgot our buckets at the well. Unbelievable!" Emily hung her head down in shame and closed her eyes to get herself ready for one of her father’s scoldings, not particularly thrilled on having her good mood ruined right now, but she had a feeling it was coming anyway as it was well due after her forgetting their buckets at the well.

"But also hilarious." Emily lifted her head up in shock after hearing her father’s words, not exactly expecting them, and widened her eyes comically. What was actually hilarious to Emily was her mother’s bewildered expression that stretched over her face as she stared in shock at her father. If she wasn’t already walking on thin ice, she would have laughed at her mother’s expression, so she kept quiet and listened to the conversation unfolding in front of her.

"Excuse me, dear, what?!"

"Oh c’mon, Mrs. Dickinson. You have to admit, it’s funny." Emily laughed nervously when her father started laughing loudly while looking at her mother then at her.

"But-." Emily bit on her bottom lip to prevent her smile to widen when her mother tried to reason with her father but he waved her off with a few chuckles still coming out of his lips.

"Oh, come on now Mrs. Dickinson. I know you want to laugh." Edward smiled at his wife and pointed his finger at the blonde woman, not putting it down until she saw a small grin making its way onto the woman’s lips, "ah there it is!"

"Oh dear, always finding a way to laugh! Anyway, I’m going with Lavinia to the grocery store and to retrieve our buckets to fetch water for dinner tonight."

"Great, I’m coming with you girls. I need to go to speak to Ronald about a really important matter I worked on this morning."

"Oh that’s wonderful, dear. Emily, why don’t you make it up to us by starting dinner?" Emily almost let her jaw drop down on the floor at her mother’s request. She knew she wasn’t a great cook, she hated cooking and something always ended up catching fire. But she also knew this was her mother’s way to tell her she wasn’t forgiven for the fetching water fiasco as her father made it sound and as much as she wanted to fight over it, she knew there wasn’t a way out of this. Oh, well it was worth a try.

"Mom, I don’t th-."

"Oh what a wonderful idea Mrs. Dickinson! I can’t wait to taste what you will prepare for us Emily! Let’s go now, we are gonna be late!"

Emily sighed dejected while making her way towards the kitchen to start up dinner and as she tried to not set the whole house on fire, she let her mind fill with the few memories she had of Y/N. She was fascinating, captivating, alluring. She piqued Emily’s interest with just a few words and when Y/N expressed her passion for books, ignited a fire in Emily that had been extinguished since she had broken things off with Sue. Could that mean something? Emily was sure she felt their souls connect in such a raw and deep way she had never experienced before, but would that be enough for Y/N as it was for her? As she started baking the freshly made loaf of bread, a sudden need to know if Y/N felt the same hit her and with a renewed determination she set her mind to try to encounter the Y/H/C girl the next morning.

-

"Good morning my dear mother." Emily entered the kitchen with a grin so bright they could have used it to light up the whole house at night, arousing suspects from her mother that stared at her warily as she watched her make her way towards her as she prepared their breakfast.

"Emily, good morning to you too. Did something happen that put you in a good mood?"

"Nothing in particular. I just woke up like this today. Do you need help? I still want to make it up to you again for yesterday. Maybe I can go fetch the water again? This time I will bring back the buckets, I promise." Emily tried to be as subtle as she could without making her mother ask the real reasons behind her intentions on wanting to go fetch water, finishing with a joke to sell it better.

"Oh sweety, what a wonderful idea. You can help me with putting everything in the living room. And don’t worry about fetching water, Vinnie already went this morning."

With her heart sinking down in her stomach, she reluctantly grabbed the tray full of their breakfast her mother already prepared to the living room, trudging a bit in her steps as she tried to think of another strategy to meet Y/N again.

-

"Emily can you please help me with dinner?"

"I can’t mom, I need to write. I don’t have time to help you with dinner or chores."

"Well, I am sure it can wait." Emily snorted under her breath at her mother’s rebuttal as she made her way into her room.

"No mom, it sadly can’t. When words flow out of me I can’t stop them or ask them to wait to help with chores."

"It’s worth a try, isn’t it? I need help Emily, Vinnie is setting the table after cleaning the house, so you’re the one who will help me. C’mon, it will be fun!"

"I’m sure it will, but I really can’t right now. It would be so much easier if we get a housemaid to help you out."

"You are talking nonsense Emily, I am perfectly capable of doing it all by myself and with the help of my daughters everything can be done faster, so now please come down with me and help me out. You will write later." Emily sighed out as she let her pencil fall down on her desk, the soft clinking sound of the pencil hitting the wooden surface of her desk calmed Emily just a little, making a quick grin appear on her lips before a small frown took its place. The poet sat up slowly from her desk, placing both of her hands on it to slowly stand up, the screeching sound of the chair moving back filling the sudden silent room as her mother watched her movements with rapt attention.

"I will help you for just a bit, but I can’t take too long on helping you with chores because I’m really trying to finish a poem."

"That’s the spirit! C’mon honey, I will show you how to make the perfect roasted chicken that will make you the perfect housewife every gentleman would love to marry."

More like gentlewoman. Emily added in her mind and as soon as that thought came into her mind, Y/N appeared right after as she smiled lovingly at her. That instantly made Emily stop in her tracks on the stairs, watching blankly her mother’s back as she descended the stairs and rambled about roasted chicken Emily wasn’t interested in listening at the moment. What made Emily freeze in her spot was the fact that for the first time since she could remember she didn’t imagine marrying Sue. She imagined Y/N. And that thought excited her to no end, instead of scaring her. "Shit." Emily sighed dopily as she smiled with her eyes full of love as another image of Y/N waving at her entered her mind.

"Emily, hurry up!" Emily let her dumb smile linger a few more seconds on her features before shaking her head and resuming her way down the stairs to join her mother in the kitchen and help her with their dinner.

-

"We should hire a maid to help mom out in the house."

"What?"

"We should hire a maid to help mom out in the house."

"I heard you the first time dear, I was just shocked by the request." Edward smiled gently at her daughter repeating herself before going back to being serious as he regarded her with a curious look in his features. "Why should we hire a maid? Your mother is perfectly capable of doing a good job here."

"Ah- a great job dear! I told you this earlier Emily. We don’t need a maid."

"But it would be so much easier for you. For all of us! She would help mom with chores so she doesn’t tire herself out every single day. And she would do a lot of things mom asks me or Vinnie to do. C’mon dad, think about it!"

"Well-."

"Edward you are not seriously considering it, aren’t you?"

"Honey, she is not completely wrong. She would help you out, you know I hate how much tired you are at the end of the day."

They kept discussing it for a few more minutes as they enjoyed their dinner but when the dessert came, her mother served it in an unsettling silence so they moved onto a new subject Emily wasn’t interested in listening. As she ate her dessert she couldn’t help but let her eyes linger on her mother a few times and observed her as she stayed quiet for the rest of the dinner with a sad expression on her features. Despite her mother not taking assuming a maid to help her too well, Emily was sure she will come around eventually. Emily knew she was asking to hire a maid to have more time to write but she also really wanted her to help her mother and ease her load of work to do in the house.

-

"Good morning dear family."

"Good morning to you too Edward." Emily’s mother smiled widely at her husband as she finished serving everybody’s breakfast before her grin got ten times wider and brighter when Edward leaned over and kissed her gently.

"Hm, I can smell so many delicious things today." Emily watched as her father sat down in his chair and brought up his newspaper to read the news, his smile never dampening.

"I can see you are in a good mood this morning, dear."

"Because I am."

"I’m glad to hear that, honey."

"How is my family doing this morning?" Edward brought his newspaper down after reading a few paragraphs of the first news and took a sip of his tea, then moving onto taking a bite of her wife’s famous scones, humming in satisfaction at the taste.

"I am good dad, I just finished reading an article about financial management that I found pretty interesting." Austin was the first to speak up after taking a sip of his own tea, smiling at his father as he did so when he nodded at him in understanding.

"And what about my girls?"

"Last night I finished sewing a pillow for my cat, he loves it!" Lavinia announced with a bright grin, her enthusiasm filling the room as everyone at the table smiled at the ecstatic blonde.

"I finished a few poems I was working on."

"That’s great guys, I see everyone is proud of their achievements! But now let’s move on why I am in a good mood today. There is a reason and that said reason is- after considering it for the last few days, I decided that we will hire a maid to help in the house!"

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed at the table at the same time with excited tones, except for Mrs. Dickinson, who looked at her husband like he went completely nuts.

"Yeah!" Edward smiled alongside his son and daughters, not noticing her wife’s expression yet, "I thought about it and in the end it was a really great idea Emily!"

"I’m so happy to hear that dad!"

"Honey, why are you doing this?" Mrs. Dickinson finally found her voice to speak up and asked in a strained tone the first thing that came up in her hazed mind still shocked from the news Edward delivered.

"Oh dear, it will be good for the house and for you. You tire yourself up too much for this house."

"But- I’m fine."

"I know you want to make it look like it, but I know some days are really stressful. I see how spent you are after those days at night. I’m doing this for you too!" Edward explained calmly as he enjoyed his breakfast, his good mood still on.

"Yeah, I can be a little tired, but a great night of sleep sweeps it all away and restores my energy back."

"I am sure of that, but it will good! We can do more small trips or spend days differently when I am not working and you’re not thinking about doing any kind of chore in the house."

"Yeah, mom, it will be good for everyone here, you’ll see!" Austin butted in with a cheerful tone and nodded at her mother still looking worried and skeptic.

"Yeah mom, you can finally focus on yourself a bit more." Lavinia then decided to add her thoughts too, trying to encourage her mother on relaxing on this topic, although she knew it was a sore spot since she always aspired to be a great housewife and having a maid restrained her from doing that in her mind.

"Mom, think about it, you can find a new hobby with the extra free time you will have!" It was Emily this time that spoke up, encouraging her mother with a brighter-than-the-sun grin that unfortunately her mother didn’t reciprocate as she stayed frozen in her chair with her eyebrows furrowed together and a sad expression on her features.

"See? The kids have all good points!" Edward looked at his wife with a wide grin, nodding at her encouragingly, "anyway, the decision is already made. They are coming here tonight."

"They?" Emily wanted to snort under her breath at the outraged tone her mother used to pose the question to her father, but decided to stay still for once and enjoy the show in front of her.

"Yeah, two of them. One of my dearest friends is moving to Minnesota and he doesn’t need his maids anymore since he won’t take them with him, so they are coming here. He told me they are the best maids in Amherst. An Irish woman and her niece."

"That’s so exciting!" Lavinia exclaimed as she clapped her hands enthusiastically, making Emily and Austin smile fondly at her.

-

"Ah, good evening! Come inside please!"

"Good evening Mr. Dickinson." Emily could hear from downstairs his father greeting guests at the door but she shrugged and went back to her poem, but for some reason her attention shifted back to the new guests in their house and after a few more attempt of focusing to write a few more lines in vain, the poet gave up and sighed out loud as she placed everything in her small drawer in her desk, before sitting up from the chair and making her way downstairs to greet their guests.

"We’re so happy to have you here!"

"The pleasure is all ours Mr. Dickinson." An Irish accent waved through the air, increasing Emily’s curiosity and made her almost sprint down the stairs to go see the new maids as soon as she realized who their guests were.

"Oh Lavinia, come here. They are our new maids."

"Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you Miss Dickinson." Something like a familiar voice reached Emily’s ears as she descended the last few steps and almost fell down of them when she got at the top of the last set of stairs and her eyes met with a pair of wonderful, familiar irises.

"The pleasure is all mine, trust me!"

"Ah, Emily! You are here too. They are our new maids."

"Oh hello Miss Dickinson."

"Good evening Miss Dickinson."

"H-hello. Just call me Emily, please." The poet found the strength to descend the last few steps and even talk coherently before walking slowly towards the two new guests in her house, stopping right beside her father.

"You will meet my son soon. He is coming here with his wife tonight. And about my wife, I really don’t know where she is." Edward joked, making the two guests laugh softly under their breath, clear, wide smiles etched on their lips. "Anyway, they are Mrs. Maggie and Miss Y/N."

"It’s a real pleasure meeting you both." Lavinia butted in sincerely and nodded at them softly, meanwhile Emily still tried to properly kickstart her brain.

"It’s a pleasure for me too. I hope you will enjoy staying here."

"Oh Miss Dickinson, I am sure it will be amazing staying here." Maggie countered back with a warm grin, mirrored by Y/N right after with a small nod of her head.

"Alright, girls would you mind showing them around?"

"I need to finish a few things for my art lesson tomorrow." Lavinia admitted dejectedly and the fact that she could potentially be alone with Y/N again thrilled Emily to no end.

"I can show them around the house, no problem Vinnie. Dad we will see you later."

"Okay, have fun!" Emily smiled and nodded at her father before dorkily lifting her thumb up and saluted him before signaling Y/N and Maggie to follow her in the kitchen.

"Alright, this is the kitchen. A place my mom likes to call her kingdom." Emily joked with a soft snort that morphed into a squeal when her mother appeared out of nowhere.

"That’s right dear."

"Mom! You scared our guests!"

"I think you were the most scared here, honey." Emily rolled her eyes at her mother’s teasing and shook her head with an amused smile.

"Mom, they are Y/N and Maggie. Our new maids."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Dickinson." Y/N was the first to speak up, trying to look cool when inside she was freaking out about meeting Emily again. She thought she would’ve never encountered her again.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Dickinson."

"You are so young Maggie." Emily smiled subtly as she sunk her teeth on her bottom lip to prevent to be caught laughing about her mother being so caught up in being mad for having maids in their house that she didn’t even pay attention remember their names, since she called Y/N Maggie.

"Mom, she is Y/N. She is Maggie." Emily emphasized the word ‘she’ as she pointed to the redhead and noticed, to her surprise, that both of their guests had amusement on their faces.

"Oh sorry, I have a terrible headache and I do not have my usual laser focused attention on anything today." Emily’s mother tried to cover up her mistake with a made up lie and laughed softly to light the air up quickly.

"Ah you should see me with an headache, I don’t even walk straight. I bump into things all the time." The redhead joked before moving on telling Emily’s mother an old Irish remedy for headache.

-

After a delicious dinner her mother prepared Y/N and Maggie disappeared into the kitchen to clean everything up, despite her mother’s protests, who in the end stayed still in her loveseat in the living room. The whole family stayed about an half an hour to chat, before everyone called it a night, saying goodbye to Sue and Austin, before going upstairs to sleep. Emily stayed in the living room a little bit more to pretend to read, staring at the words written on her book, as she waited for the perfect moment to ‘casually bump’ into Y/N before she could go to sleep in her room. Luckily she didn’t have to wait too long. "Go to bed aunt Maggie. We are almost done. I can finish the last touches myself."

"Are you sure?" Emily could hear the hesitation in Maggie’s tone, not wanting her niece to finish alone, but she could already picture Y/N protest with a resolute nod despite not knowing the girl at all except for a few details they shared a few days prior.

"I am sure auntie. Go. I will finish this up quickly and I will go to sleep too."

"Okay munchkin. Don’t wear yourself out. We have to wake up early tomorrow for breakfast."

"I won’t. Goodnight auntie."

"Goodnight Y/N/N." Emily immediately moved herself from her position on the loveseat as she was leaning over to take a small peak from the kitchen and eavesdrop as good as she could and pretended to casually read before Maggie could catch her. "Oh Miss Dickinson, still up?"

"Oh hey, Maggie. Yeah, I couldn’t sleep so I decided to read for a bit hoping sleep to find me."

"Ah, you should try the concoction my uncle used to make me when I couldn’t sleep. It was disgusting but it always made me sleep like a baby." Maggie delivered another one of her great and funny anecdotes to give her personal advice and Emily smiled kindly up at her as she caressed the pages of her book.

"One of these days you could make me some and we will see if it works for me too!"

"Alright. Goodnight Miss Dickinson."

"Goodnight Maggie." Emily smiled widely at the redhead before watching her walk up the stairs until she disappeared behind the wall. Emily stayed still for a few more seconds, listening for Maggie’s room’s door to close before immediately closing her book and sitting up, placed the book back in its designated place and almost sprinted into the kitchen, excited to finally spend some time alone with Y/N. She had been trying to do that for the whole evening, but she always had something to do with someone always in the way.

"Spying on people is wrong Miss Dickinson." Emily jumped up in fright as she had been caught staring from the threshold of the kitchen Y/N putting the plates they used during their dinner in the cabinet on top of the counter.

"Sorry, I was watching you work."

"Yeah, I noticed it." Emily smiled as her teeth sunk in her bottom lip at Y/N’s sarcastic counter back and walked into the kitchen, stopping right in front of Y/N, the kitchen’s wooden table separating them. The fire in the fireplace was still crackling softly in the silent room, bathing the room with an orange light that highlighted Y/N’s Y/E/C irises and almost made Emily faint at such ethereal beauty.

"Have you finished yet? You must be tired."

"I am, just a bit, but I am almost finished."

"Do you need some help?" Emily asked in hope Y/N would say yes, so she could prove to her she wasn’t the snotty rich girl that didn’t want to help in her house with chores. She didn’t exactly know why, but she just wanted to do it.

"No don’t worry. Aren’t you tired?"

"Not at all, I tend to have a lot of energy at night."

"Oh so you sleep during the day?"

"Not really. I am not a morning person, but I don’t oversleep."

"Oh I see." Emily detected a sarcastic lilt in Y/N’s tone and immediately wanted to prove to Y/N she wasn’t a lazy person.

"I swear I am not! Do you remember when we met a few days ago? It was around 7 a.m.! That was early in the morning!"

"Yeah, but I also remember that after that you forgot your buckets at the well." Y/N teased making Emily drop her jaw on the floor flabbergasted, making Y/N snort under her breath.

"I-I was distracted! I wanted to get them back but my mother prevented me to and did it herself."

"Yeah, I saw her." Y/N still had an amused grin on her lips but Emily could see the entertainment in her eyes that made Emily realize she was just messing with her and for a mysterious reason Emily wanted her to keep going, she wanted to be the subject of her teasing and entertainment just to see her smile.

"I tried to find you again at the well the next few days but I never did."

"Yeah, I was busy in the house helping Mr. Peterson with packing all his family’s stuff for their moving."

"Oh, yeah. That makes sense." Emily nodded in understanding before detaching her eyes from Y/N’s magnetic ones and focused instead on her wringing hands.

"Did you finish Dante’s Divina Commedia?"

"Yeah, last night actually. This morning I tried to find something new to start but nothing piqued my interest." Emily admitted after moving her gaze back on Y/N, who now placed the cloth she had previously in her hands neatly folded on the table.

"Ah I see. It happens to me all the time."

"Do you have some recommendations?"

"Hm, I need to think about it. I am a little bit tired and I can’t actually think about anything worth your while right now." Y/N chuckled after finishing speaking as she shyly made her way towards Emily, who stood a few feet from her.

"Oh then I won’t keep you away from sleeping."

"No, no. Don’t worry. I like talking to you but for now, as late as it is, I would like to keep our conversation as simple as possible."

"That’s fine by me."

"Do you want to stay here or-."

Emily didn’t let Y/N finish as she spoke up without thinking, blurting words out without any control, "we can go up to my room."

Y/N seemed taken aback for a few quick moments before a mischievous grin replaced the confused frown she had on, "oh I see where this is going."

"What-? OH! NO, NO, NO, NO! Y/N!" Emily exclaimed in shock before slapping Y/N’s shoulder gently, watching as she snickered under her breath at her joke.

"What?! It was a legit reaction from me!"

"I am not trying to seduce you!" But I would like to. Emily thought wistfully in her head as she tried to look as shocked as she felt a few seconds prior instead of looking like a kicked puppy yearning for cuddles.

"That’s not what your words sounded like Miss Dickinson."

"Ugh, you are unbelievable!"

"Let’s go now." Y/N shook her head with a small chuckle, making Emily’s heart clench at her cuteness.

"I-Okay. But it’s not done!"

"Whatever, now let’s go!"

"Okay, okay. Relax." The two made their way up the stairs as quietly as they could since everyone was already asleep and as soon as Emily closed the door behind herself, she felt butterflies fly around her stomach in excitement. She was with Y/N, in her bedroom, alone.

"Nice room." Y/N admitted as she took Emily’s bedroom in, walking around the small room to try to take in as much details about Emily as she could in the softly lit room.

"Thank you. You can sit on my bed, you are tired. I will take the chair."

"I can’t sit down Emily. I am your maid."

"I don’t care."

"I am serious Emily. It won’t be a problem-." Emily stopped Y/N mid-sentence by walking towards her and stopping right in front of her before placing her hands on her shoulders and pushing her gently backwards until the back of her knees touched her mattress, then she pushed her down and made her sit on the bed.

"There, it wasn’t so bad, was it?" Emily smirked proudly down at a shocked Y/N and following the bold thrill she had been hit on, she sat right beside Y/N and bumped their shoulders together.

"You are always so full of surprises Miss Dickinson." Y/N admitted and Emily called herself crazy because she saw Y/N blush slightly under the soft light coming from the fireplace. It must be her infatuated mind playing her games.

"It’s something you need to get used to from now on."

"Hm, I like it though."

"I’m glad to hear that." For a moment they just stood there, sat in silence in Emily’s room, gazing into each other’s eyes as small smiles adorned their features.

"I noticed all those small scraps of paper on your desk, what are those for?"

"Oh I write my poems on them. I am actually working on a poem right now."

"Are you serious?"

"Very." Emily nodded and smiled as she pushed her chest up proudly, "do you want to read a few things I’ve written?"

"Oh yeah! Absolutely!"

"Okay then." Emily sat up from her bed and walked towards her desk, opened the small drawer and grabbed a few poems she was sure Y/N would’ve liked, of course she didn’t grab the few ones she wrote about her.

"Wow, there are so many!"

"Yeah!" Emily smiled brightly like a kid on Christmas Day, just like every time she talked about her poems, and watching Y/N’s eyes fill with excitement warmed her heart.

"I can’t wait to read them!"

"Okay, which one do you want to start with?"

"I don’t know, you are the poet. You should tell me."

"I- I don’t actually know! Let me think- I want you to start with-." Emily trailed off to pick one out of the five ones she brought to Y/N as she sat back down on the bed, "this one, but then I also want you to read this one first." Emily pointed to another poem with her pointer finger as she held the previous poem she choose in her hand and smiled sheepishly at Y/N.

"Okay, let’s try with this. What is the poem you are the most proud of. Don’t think too much. Just point at it."

"Okay, hm- this one then."

"Alright." Y/N grabbed the poem Emily gave her and opened the small folded up paper, reading the words written in Emily’s elegant but a bit messy handwriting. The edges of the paper were a little bit dirty with ink but it only made the poem ten times better, full of raw emotions and vulnerability.

"What do you think?" Emily asked anxiously after a few minutes passed by and Y/N haven’t opened her mouth yet, her Y/E/C irises glued on the small piece of paper and her face completely blank, making reading her face a really difficult task for the poet.

"I-I-. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read, Emily. It’s so raw, so real. It opened my mind to new possibilities, it made my eyes see the world from another point of view. It felt like I was in your mind and I could see the world how you see it."

"Do you think so?"

"Absolutely!" Emily felt tears prickle behind her eyes at Y/N’s words, something really rare despite how emotional Emily was about her poems. She was very proud of them and when people complimented them it only helps to boost her self-esteem but it never happened that just a few words made her almost cry. Y/N was really special.

"Thank you. Truly." Emily smiled appreciatively at Y/N as she tried with all her might to not cry in front of Y/N. "No one ever complimented my poems that way."

"Well people are dumb and stupid. You are an amazing writer and your poems will change lives." Emily smiled bittersweetly at that as she picked at a thumbnail nervously. Those words. She recalled them being said by Sue.

"Yeah, I already heard that. Someone already told me."

"And why do you not believe in them?"

"It’s not that I don’t believe in them." Emily started slowly, swallowing the small lump that immediately formed in her throat as her mind filled with memories of Sue, of all the great time she spent with her, of how much she cared for her. "It’s just that- the person that told me that doesn’t tell me those words anymore."

"Why? Did they change their minds?"

"No absolutely not. We just- grew apart I think. She has a new life now. I’m not a part of it anymore."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Y/N asked in a soft voice, leaning her head to the side, in a cute manner Emily noted, and looking at Emily with a gentle gaze as soon as she noticed the poet’s sad expression on her features.

"Not right now. I will, I trust you. I just- I don’t want to ruin the mood or like- annoy you."

"You won’t ever annoy me Emily Dickinson. You have such a way with words that you make listening to you alluring." Emily felt her eyes prickle slightly with unshed tears again as she listened to Y/N’s words and smiled appreciatively at her.

"I- I don’t know what to say. I-thank you."

"You don’t need to thank me Emily. I mean that. I hope you know I am sincere."

"I know, I can sense it from your voice and your eyes." Emily pointed her words out with her brown eyes as she glued them to Y/N’s Y/E/C irises, noticing Y/N swallowing almost imperceptibly at the bold gesture but decided to not comment on it.

"You know-." Y/N started after a few moments of them just staring into each other eyes, both feeling the air around them charge with an unknown electricity but not dwelling or thinking about it too much, but got cut off by a big yawn. She promptly covered her mouth with her hand before placing it back on her lap and smiling embarrassedly at Emily with a small blush on her cheeks, "sorry, I am a bit tired."

"Don’t apologize. I should be the one apologizing for keeping you up this late at night after the busy day you had. Not to mention the busy early day you will have tomorrow. Shit, I am so sorry." Emily grimaced after she realized she had been keeping Y/N from her well-needed sleep, but Y/N, the cute self she is, only shook her head gently.

"No, no, no, Emily. It’s fine. I wanted to spend some time with you too."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." Y/N smiled widely at Emily before starting to get up from her bed, "well, I should go to sleep now. I need to be up at 6 a.m. to start preparing breakfast."

"Do you need some help with that tomorrow morning?"

"Another one of these questions. Hm, are you sure you really needed a maid? You seem to want to do all these chores by yourself." Y/N questioned with a mocking tone as a small, entertained smirk appeared on her lips, mirth clear in her Y/E/C irises as they eyed Emily teasingly.

"I just-." Emily trailed off to ponder her options. She could easily lie about her real intentions behind her question or she could be bold for once and actually tell she just want to spend as much time as she could with Y/N to get to know her. She decided to be bold for once. She was tired not listening to her heart’s desires. "I like your company and I really want to spend more time with you."

"Oh Emily, we will spend more time together, I promise. My aunt Maggie established a few shifts between us. I have an early morning but I work till 6 p.m., then I’m done for the day. We can do something together after dinner like tonight." Y/N suggested as she idly played with her fingers, anticipation filling her whole body as she waited for Emily’s reaction to her suggestion.

"That would be great!" Emily exclaimed excitedly and had to really stop herself from jumping up and down in happiness at the prospect of spending more time with Y/N, just sticking on grinning widely at Y/N, who did the same.

"Okay then. Goodnight." Y/N nodded towards Emily and turned around to open the door, before turning her head back around to look at Emily once again, waiting her answer.

"Goodnight Y/N. Sleep well."

"You too."

Y/N opened the door completely and exited the room, smiled at Emily one more time before closing the door, sauntering into her room, across from her aunt’s one. As soon as the door closed, Emily sighed out dreamily and let herself fall on her mattress with a dopey smile on her lips, the soft thud filling the silence in the room. "Y/N." She whispered under her breath before closing her eyes and let her mind be filled with images of Y/N as she let sleep take over her.

-

"Good morning!" Emily exclaimed as soon as she entered the living room, her face illuminated by a big grin that lighted up the whole room, making her whole family, already seated at the table, look at her curiously.

"Someone is in a great mood today." Edward pointed out after he pushed his newspaper down and took a look at her daughter.

"I just slept good, that’s all."

"You are right on time honey, I was just telling your father that Austin and Sue will join us for dinner tonight again." Emily spit the sip of tea she was drinking at the news, not noticing the small snort that left Y/N’s mouth as she served the poet her breakfast, luckily only Emily heard that.

"What?"

"Isn’t it amazing? It’s been too long since they had been here with us. They are so busy with their sophisticated parties these days. It’s a rare occasion having them joining us for two nights in a row."

"Parties I am paying." Edward pointed out making Emily grunt in acknowledgement. She was avoiding Sue at all costs and she was glad the night prior they were all busy chatting, it made avoiding Sue easier.

"Parties we are not invited to. Em you are Sue’s best friend, why don’t you ask her to invite us?" Lavinia lamented with a whining tone, pushing gently on her sister’s shoulder but then crossing her arms stubbornly when Emily just gently shook her head.

"She has new friends now. She is not interested in hanging out with us anymore." Y/N couldn’t help but notice the bittersweet tone Emily used as she addressed her sister’s question and the sad expression that flitted over her features for just over a second before it got covered by a calculated blank expression, but she couldn’t dwell on it too much as she kept serving breakfast to the Dickinson family, so she made a mental note to ask Emily about it that night.

"Speaking of friends, Emily!" Emily’s mother caught the poet’s attention and continued only when she met her eyes, "I met George this morning at the grocery store. He is such a nice guy."

"I know where this is going mom. I’m not going to marry him. He is a great friend. That’s all." Y/N missed Emily’s mother counter back and she didn’t hear the rest of the conversation going between Emily and her mother as she returned to the kitchen to tidy up the kitchen a bit before starting up lunch, not having the time to notice her stomach jumping up in happiness at Emily refusing to marry her friend.

-

"Are you sure? I can help you with all this mess."

"Oh don’t worry Y/N/N, go get some rest. You had a very stressful day. It’s my turn now." Maggie assured her niece, waving her off as she tidied up the kitchen after the Dickinson’s dinner. "No, don’t try to convince me. Go!"

"Thank you. Goodnight."

"G’night."

Y/N exited the kitchen to go up the stairs and to her room, but unfortunately she had to pass by the living room where the Dickinson family was still chatting after their dinner. Y/N sighed out of relief when no one seemed to notice her presence and kept minding their business and continued her quiet way up the stairs, a little bit sad that she probably won’t spend some time with Emily like they planned. Despite good mood being slightly dampened by hers and Emily’s plans ruined, when she arrived at her door she sighed out wistfully at the mere thought of finally getting rid of her devilish corset and lay on bed, but before she could open the door a hand touched her shoulder and squealed in fright. "Shit- Emily!"

"Sorry, sorry! I thought you heard me." Emily reasoned with an apologetic grimace, warming Y/N’s heart at the cute sight when she turned around and was met with puppy dog eyes.

"No, I was just thinking about getting rid of my corset."

"Oh I know the feeling. Looking forward on breathing normally again, hm?" Emily joked, making Y/N snort softly as she nodded in agreement with the poet.

"You have no idea."

"I have actually, because I need to get rid of my corset too. I can’t stand having it on me for one more second. Do you mind if I change in my night gown and then we can hang out?"

Y/N looked a bit taken aback from the question, not really expecting it from the brunette, "don’t you have your entire family downstairs?"

"Yeah, but they will be fine. I spent enough quality time with them, now it’s time to spend some quality time with you." Emily admitted with the slightest rosy tint on her cheeks and for once she was grateful for the lightly lit hallway so she can hide it from Y/N, who didn’t seem to notice Emily’s shy behavior.

"You make me feel too special Emily. Choosing me over your family, wow- that’s flattering." Y/N felt the need to half joke with her hand on her heart as she tried to not show how much touched she was by Emily’s words, since she only met the poet a few days prior and she was her maid.

"Get used to it! Now let’s go, I’ll help you with your corset then you’ll help me with mine."

"Hm, so eager to see me naked. Are you trying to seduce me Miss Dickinson?" Emily felt her face heat up in a millisecond at the question, not sure this time she could hide it from Y/N, her heart skipping a beat before starting beating fast in her chest as her mind filled with completely not innocent images of a naked Y/N on h-. "Emily? Are you okay?"

"Oh- I- I was-wasn’t. I was just trying to help, y’know since corsets are so difficult to take off. I always ask Lavinia to help me because I can’t reach the strings behind me, but she is busy right now so sh-."

"Emily, it’s okay. I was kidding, relax." Y/N giggled softly under her breath and bumped her left shoulder with Emily’s one to help the girl calm down, effectively stopping her ramblings.

"Oh I- I knew that." Emily laughed awkwardly for a few moments before clearing her throat, "should we, I don’t know go in your room or-?"

"Oh yes, let’s go, so I can help you undress." The last part of Y/N’s phrase sent Emily’s brain out of control as it replayed those words over and over again and each time it only helped melting her brain into mush as far from innocent images filed in.

"O-okay, let’s go." Y/N nodded and opened her bedroom door, letting Emily in first then following her, closing the door a moment later to have some privacy.

"How was dinner?" Y/N asked as she tried to look as nonchalant as she could despite having a really pretty girl in her bedroom about to undress her. Okay that totally sounded really dirty and out of context it could sound like what it actually sounded like, but we all know the truth, right?

"It was good. I liked your special bread recipe, you need to teach me how to make it."

"Oh yeah, it’s actually aunt Maggie’s recipe, but I added a little bit of raisins to enhance its flavor."

"They definitely do their work because it was the best bread I’ve ever tasted. Do not tell my mother that." Emily was quick to whisper the last part with the hand on the left side of her mouth, making Y/N laugh heartily at her goofiness.

"Noted." Y/N nodded as she still smiled widely at Emily, before starting playing with her fingers nervously. "Hm-."

"What?"

"I- I really can’t resist another second in this. Can you please-?" Y/N trailed off, letting the half-finished question hang in the electrified air between them as she stared at everything around the room but at Emily’s magnetic brown irises, moving her hands to signal behind her back to hint at Emily she needed to take off her corset.

"Wha- OH! Your corset. Of course. Yeah. Yeah." Emily nodded as she stumbled over her words, grimacing inwardly at her awkwardness. "Hm- turn around please. I’ll help you out."

"Oh yeah, thank you." Y/N held her breath as she turned around and almost gasped out loud when a pair of slightly cold hands touched the skin of her back.

"Sorry, my hands are a bit cold."

"Don’t worry." Y/N let out in a breath as she tried to calm herself down and not look like she was actually melting under Emily’s touch. After a few moments, Emily succeeded in loosening the strands of Y/N’s corset and the girl visibly relaxed, "letting your corset loose is like- the best feeling ever, right?"

"Yeah, every night I feel like my soul comes back in my body."

"Yeah, they should be banned. Why women need to suffer this much while men wear the comfiest clothes ever created?"

Emily listened to Y/N talking as she focused on her fingers unfastening Y/N’s corset, "that’s what I’m always thinking about. I tried pants once, it was a breakthrough. Never had on something so comfy in my life. Even my night gown isn’t that comfortable."

"Wait- you had the privilege to try pants on?"

"Yeah! Of course my parents don’t know that, but yeah."

"Wow, I always imagined trying them! How do they feel?"

"Amazing! And I even tried a blouse with a vest. No corset on. Even better than having pants on." Emily admitted and watched delighted Y/N’s face illuminate like a Christmas three, full of curiosity and wonder.

"Wow, that sounds amazing." Emily focused on untying the last strand of Y/N’s corset with shaky hands even if she tried to stop her body from shaking with her nerves, the mere thought Y/N was a few beats away from being naked short-circuited her brain. "I always wanted to try men’s clothes on."

"When do you have the whole afternoon free?" Emily asked with excitement shining brightly in her eyes, almost jumping up and down in her spot in anticipation as an idea popped in her mind.

"Thursday. I start at 18 Friday afternoon then."

"Alright, I really hoped it was Thursday afternoon. My parents and Lavinia are going to some kinda spa thing my aunt Lavinia organized, I’m not going because I’m not in the mood to go, even if my mom and Lavinia have been trying to convince me for days. But now that I know we can have almost 24 hours together I’m definitely not going."

"Wait- hold on, are you serious?"

"Yeah, I can even convince them to bring Maggie with them or let her have a few days off. I think they will be back Friday night or maybe Saturday morning, I need to ask them."

"Wow, I don’t know what to say!"

"Well, my dear Y/N get ready for these days all by ourselves." Emily announced excitedly, finding the same amount of excitement she had in her eyes into Y/N’s Y/E/C irises, warming her heart to no end. She was afraid she could come off as too eager to spend some alone time with Y/N, but the Y/H/C girl didn’t seem to mind or she didn’t pay attention to it and it reassured Emily.

"I can’t wait." Y/N exclaimed excitedly before shivering slightly as cold air hit her hot skin, "I should put something on quickly."

"Oh yeah, it’s freezing!"

The two girls stayed looking at each other for a few more seconds before Y/N moved her gaze away to find something to put on, Emily quickly turning around as her cheeks warmed up and her heart beat loudly in her ears. "Okay, we can go now."

"Oh thank God, I seriously need to get rid of this corset as well."

"We better hurry up then." Y/N snickered at Emily’s whiny tone, ushering her out her room.

"Have you ever thought-." Emily stopped in her tracks when, after looking at Y/N for a moment on her way out Y/N’s room, she turned back around to look where she was going to not trip over something and she was met with a pair of familiar eyes.

"Emily."

"Sue." Y/N exited the room right behind Emily and stopped in her tracks too when she was met with Sue’s confused and also a little bit… jealous? - Y/N couldn’t tell - eyes, but she sure she could feel a little bit of electricity palpable in the air, especially when Sue detached her eyes from her and stared Emily down with an hard gaze, silence filling the small hallway for a few long moments.

"I- I hoped we could talk a bit. It’s been a while."

"Oh- can we do it tomorrow? I am a bit tired."

"Oh- oh y-yeah, s-sure. How is it going with your poems?" Sue asked with a bit of a shaky voice, her eyes full of a nostalgic glint that intrigued Y/N to no end.

"It’s going just fine. They are my safe place where I can hide when I need to be away from the world."

"Yeah, I remember. They were the most powerful way for your heart and mind to speak out loud. I miss them." Sue admitted with a nostalgic tilt in her tone that kept fueling Y/N’s curiosity about the strange dynamic that Emily and Sue shared.

"Well you decided you didn’t want them anymore. So it’s a bit hypocritical missing them, don’t you think?"

"I- I- uh, that’s why I wanted to talk to you." Sue started with her voice full of anxiety and anticipation, "it’s been too long and I-."

"You were pretty clear the last time we spoke to each other. If you want to tell me about your amazing parties and your new friends, fine. But if you want to say anything else, you don’t need to worry. There is nothing else to say."

"I-." Sue sighed out loud while her shoulders lost their tension and slumped back in their position, "I guess you are right. I have no right to want to make amends after what I did and said. I just miss my best friend."

"What? Aren’t your new friends enough? This explains your need to always want more."

"I guess I deserved that." Sue hung her head down a few beats before meeting Emily’s eyes again, "I didn’t want this. Us fighting."

"I didn’t want this too. I- listen, we will talk. Tomorrow. Okay?"

"Thank you." Sue went to hug Emily but she stopped in her tracks when she stepped back and shook her head a bit.

"Right. I’ll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"Have a good night Mrs. Dickinson." Y/N chimed in for the first time since they bumped into Sue and smiled politely at the girl who looked her up and down before smiling politely too and nodding back.

"Have a good night too-."

"Y/N." Y/N finished for Sue, who trailed off waiting for the Y/E/C girl to help her out.

"Y/N." Sue repeated before turning around and going down the stairs where chatter was still going animatedly. Y/N watched the brunette’s back a few seconds as her mind replayed everything that went through in the last couple of minutes before focusing her attention back on Emily, finding her already looking at her, making her heart skip a beat.

"Hey." Y/N started with a soft voice, her smile widening when Emily grinned gently at her.

"Hey. Sorry you had to witness that." Emily apologized as she opened her bedroom door and lead them in her bedroom.

"That’s fine. Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Emily sighed out loud and nodded gently at the Y/H/C girl while closing her bedroom door. She stared a few seconds at Y/N before turning around, "can you help me?"

"Yeah sure." Y/N’s voice was a slightly bit hoarse as she walked on shaky legs towards the poet, who was standing in the middle of her bedroom, but she paid her no mind as her brain played the conversation she had with Sue a few minutes prior.

"I can’t believe she told me those things. She had no right to tell me those things!"

"I’m sorry Emily but I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You’re right. I will tell you after getting out of this damned corset."

"I feel you." Y/N snorted as she started unfastening the knots on Emily’s corset to help her out of it faster, the poet already sighing out happily.

"Oh yes. This is wonderful." Emily moaned out in delight as soon as she felt the corset starting to loose around her upper body, creating a tingling sensation all over Y/N’s body at the unexpected sound, but she kept going instead of fainting embarrassingly behind Emily.

"Yeah, I feel you."

"I hope one day we can get rid of these things. They are awful." Emily admitted and watched as Y/N nodded in agreement when she turned her head around slightly to Y/N behind her still working on unfastening her corset’s straps.

"Yeah. It will take a lot but I’m sure they won’t be used anymore."

"We would wear something similar, maybe something that doesn’t feel so tight and that doesn’t need help to take it off."

"Oh wow, that would be wonderful. I still struggle trying to take it off myself." Y/N snorted under her breath as she shook her head.

"Wait, do you really take it off yourself?"

"Well yeah, most of the times I ask my aunt Maggie to help me, but a few times I had to do it myself when she is still busy or not around in that moment."

"Wow." Emily exclaimed, but furrowed her eyebrows when she heard Y/N chuckle under her breath, "why are you laughing?"

"Because I remembered I once struggled so much in taking my corset off that I didn’t see the bed and fell down on it and then on the floor." Y/N explained, giggling after finishing with Emily doing the same as she imagined the hilarious scene, "here you go. I’m done. You’re free from your corset."

"Oh yes! Thank you!" Emily moved without properly thinking and pushed the top of her dress and her corset down to her hip as she turned around, exposing her upper body to Y/N, who widened comically her eyes as they inevitably fell on Emily’s exposed chest. "Oh my God!"

"Oh- sorry, sorry!" Y/N immediately turned herself around and covered her eyes as a deep, burgundy blush fell on her cheeks. "Sorry for looking I- hm." Y/N cleared her throat and tried to find the right words that would not make this situation even more embarrassing but her brain seemed to be stuck in a spiral of images of Emily’s round and full breasts and was incapable of forming coherent thoughts, so she decided to just shut up.

"No, no. Don’t apologize. I should be sorry for- flashing my tits in your face." Emily turned around too, making now both of their backs face each other, and touched her cheeks to try in vain to subdue her scorching blush, while frantically searching her night gown to put on.

Y/N snorted imperceptibly under he breath and let the next, murmured words slip out of her mouth without her consent, "I should thank you instead."

It was almost imperceptible, but Emily caught it since the wired silence surrounding them was almost deafening and it made her stop in her tracks as she opened her drawer. She couldn’t have heard right, could she? Do those words mean Y/N felt something for her too? Or maybe that she was at least attracted to her? She needed answers. "I’m sorry again. I wasn’t thinking."

"Don’t worry. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable."

"Are you serious? I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable." Emily countered back as she carefully took her dress and corset down her body, then putting her night gown on, purposefully choosing one that has a slight see-through fabric around her chest area. This way she could know if Y/N was interested in her in that way or not. If her eyes struggled to not stay focused on her chest, maybe she had a chance with her. "You can turn around."

"So, what happened with-." Y/N did as Emily told her but stopped mid-sentence when Emily turned around and she almost flashed her breasts to her again. The top half of Emily’s dress’ fabric was see-through, that much so that Y/N could see Emily’s erect nipples, but she wasn’t sure they were erect from the cold of the room despite the fire crackling on the right side of the room or from something else. Y/N immediately noticed her slip up and her ogling and forced her eyes to look at a portray on Emily’s wall, beside her head, instead as she cleared her throat, forcing herself to not stare at Emily’s visible chest again, "hm- with Sue?"

"Oh yeah, right, hm. Can I trust you?"

"Emily of course. I promise your secrets are safe with me."

"No, I know it. It’s just- nobody knows about this but- we had a thing going on." Emily admitted quickly, not exactly knowing how to put into words what she wanted to say, extremely afraid to watch Y/N’s facial expression at her revelation, so as soon as she finished talking, she focused her eyes on the fire crackling on her left and played around with her fingers.

"Oh wow."

"Yeah."

"Did you love her?" Y/N asked after a few beats of silence, completely taking Emily off guard.

"Wow, I wasn’t expecting this question."

"Sorry, it was too personal. You don’t have to answer me."

"No, I didn’t mean it like that. I-hm, I was expecting you- well I don’t know what I was expecting. Maybe you asking about our arrangement. Or maybe not reacting this well about this- new information about me."

"Oh yeah, I got it. You don’t have to worry about that. Like ever. I- I know what it feels like to like- love a woman."

Emily had to rectify her previous statement. That took her off guard. "Really?"

"I realized it when I was 15. I started working with my aunt Maggie in a beautiful house. Their owners were a wonderful family. Always so polite, never getting angry, very sweet with me since I was a kid but also with my aunt Maggie. They were treating us like we were part of their family. But Molly. Molly was the sweetest of them. Not to mention beautiful. We were close since we were the same age. But- hm- you were lucky enough to have some kind of something with the person I presume you loved. I wasn’t that lucky. I had to endure watching her loving someone else. For the entirety of my time as a maid in their house."

"I’m so sorry Y/N." Emily butted in as soon as Y/N, after turning around towards the fireplace, trailed off to stare blankly at the fire, too caught up in her thoughts to notice Emily approaching her slowly.

"Don’t be. It happens. Especially in the world we live in. Where people like us has to hide."

"I hope one day we don’t have to." Emily admitted a little bit wistfully, her heart aching for the pain she can clearly see in Y/N’s Y/E/C eyes when she finally looked into her brown ones. She had been lucky enough to at least act on her feelings somehow. Y/N hasn’t been that lucky.

"I hope that too." Y/N smiled gently at Emily, their eyes meeting a few seconds before Y/N’s Y/E/C one’s focused on the fireplace again.

"Did you tell her how you felt?"

"Oh God, no. Are you crazy? She would’ve ruined my life, my reputation, I could have lost my job."

"Yeah, but you broke your heart that way."

"Yeah. It will heal, eventually." Y/N shrugged like it was nothing, "it’s already healing."

"How long has it been since it happened?" Emily asked a little bit sadly, her eyes conveying as much compassion and sympathy she could to try to make Y/N feel a little bit better. Little did she know she was already making her feel better by healing her broken heart.

"About two years."

"Wow." Emily exclaimed as her brain wrapped itself around this new piece of information. She didn’t know what to say to Y/N to help her make her feel better, she had been broken hearted by Sue, but they at least had some kind of relationship.

"Woman full of words I must say. It must be easy being a poet."

Y/N’s joke made Emily snort under her breath, a gesture that she hoped distracted Y/N enough to not make her see the blush she triggered with her words. "Shut up. I was just shocked." Emily pushed on Y/N’s left shoulder when she snickered under her breath and pretended to be offended.

"Oh no, don’t be mad. I was joking. Well- not completely but- HEY! Don’t hit me with your pillow."

"Or what?" Emily smirked widely when, without Y/N noticing, grabbed the pillow laying on the chair beside her and lifted it up to hit the Y/H/C girl, but before Y/N could form any sort of warning, she got blocked by Emily swinging the pillow forward and hitting her on the face.

"Ok, you asked for it." Y/N stopped another hit with her right arm while she fumbled behind her to grab a pillow on Emily’s bed and as soon as her hand wrapped itself around the soft pillow she flung it around and hit Emily right on the face, stopping her movements altogether as she stared with a shocked but amused expression on her face at Y/N.

"You. Didn’t."

"Oh I did. I can do it again if you want."

"Don’t you dare! No! Y/N!" But it was too late. As soon as Emily finished threatening Y/N, a pillow hit her face and made her stumble a bit, but she regained her balance quickly and flung her pillow at Y/N, hitting her on her arm.

"Alright, alright. Truce." Y/N placed the pillow back on the bed and waited with an entertained smirk on her lips for Emily as she mirrored her gesture and placed the pillow onto Y/N’s one on the mattress.

"Anyway, before someone interrupted me, I was gonna say I am sorry for what you went through."

"It’s in the past now. I’m finally healing. I’m finally moving on." Y/N admitted, a slight rosy pink tinting her cheeks, something that didn’t go unnoticed from Emily but the poet decided to not ask anything about it, for now.

"I'm so happy to hear that."

"Yeah. It’s not that easy, but I will be fine. Hopefully soon." Y/N admitted with a shy smile, a gesture that Emily mirrored as she nodded in understanding.

"Good, you deserve to be happy."

"Yeah, you too. Speaking of which, how about you?"

"What about me?"

"You two had a thing going on. It must be painful calling everything off."

"It’s actually going good. I missed her a lot since we stopped our thing, but it got better in the end."

"I’m glad to hear that." Y/N smiled widely at Emily and nodded, igniting a fire within Emily that she thought it was extinguished when her thing with Sue was over.

"I- hm." Emily trailed off to ponder her next words carefully, not completely sure she wanted to admit out loud and to Y/N what she wanted to say. After a few beats of silence she made up her mind and decided she wanted to be brave, she wanted to take a shot and discover if Y/N actually liked her more than a friend. "I met someone. I- she made me feel things I thought I only felt with and for Sue."

"Oh." Y/N cleared her throat, successfully getting rid of the jealous lump it formed in her throat at Emily’s admission, but as hard as she tried no other words left her mouth.

"Yeah."

"How is- she?" Y/N stuttered, cursing herself for being so obvious about her jealousy, but it seemed Emily paid no mind to it.

"Perfect. Extremely funny, always so polite and sweet." Emily gushed uncontrollably, her eyes shining brightly with all the affection she felt for the other girl, "oh and she has a great mind too, full of ideas that fascinates me. We have a lot of hobbies in common. She is perfect."

"Wow, from what I’ve heard from your description she might be. Is she pretty?"

"No. She is beautiful."

"Already so smitten for her, hm?" Y/N teased with an arched eyebrow and a small grin to try to divert Emily’s attention on her to prevent the poet to detect her jealousy.

"How could I not? She is perfect. I think- I never felt something so hard for someone. Not even Sue."

"Does-hm-." Y/N cleared her throat when her voice wavered a bit, "does she feel the same?"

"I don’t know, but I’m trying to figure it out." Emily admitted a little bit cryptically, noticing every little reaction coming from Y/N to at least detect any kind of sign from her and if her instinct was right, she was jealous, so she maybe felt the same.

"Have you told her?"

"No. I’m a little bit insecure about it. She could feel the same but- what if she doesn’t?"

"Yeah, I know what you’re feeling. I felt the same way with Molly. I spent a year beating myself up for not telling her. Maybe we could have worked out in some way or maybe definitely not. I spent a year living on ‘what ifs’. But I have to be honest, now that I’ve moved on I think it was better that way. I don’t think she was the one for me."

"So you’re saying I shouldn’t tell her?" Emily smiled slightly at the girl rambling her thoughts out, finding all of that an extremely adorable sight witness and it became ten times cuter when Y/N blushed at her stare before shaking her head softly.

"No, what I’m trying to say is-." Y/N trailed of to take a deep breath as she stared intently into Emily’s brown eyes, "do whatever your heart craves. I’ve thought a lot about it and with a clear head I realized I was just deeply infatuated with Molly. I wasn’t actually in love with her. If it was true love I wouldn’t have moved on. So if you feel like she is the one, like you need to tell her because you truly want her, then do it. Don’t think too much about it." Emily looked at Y/N like a lovesick puppy as she talked, flaring up the fire she felt burning for Y/N, so with a made up mind and without properly thinking, as soon as Y/N finished speaking Emily surged forward and planted a soft kiss on her lips, lingering only a few seconds before pulling away abruptly, fearing Y/N’s reaction when she felt the girl completely frozen in her spot.

"I- shit- I’m so sorry- hmph." Emily got stopped abruptly when a pair of soft lips unexpectedly pressed themselves hard on her own, making her head spin out of control with a plethora of emotions she only felt when she wrote her poems. Emily felt her brain completely shutting off as she completely dived into the blissful sensation of Y/N’s mouth on hers. Their lips danced sensually over the rhythm their heartbeats set, their bodies burned from the passion the two girls shared but had to suppress for their own fears of losing the other if their feelings weren’t reciprocated, their minds were a delicious mess as their senses were completely filled with the other’s taste, perfume, essence. It was a perfect mix that both of them wished it could never end.

But Y/N had to reluctantly slow their kiss down and pull slightly away from Emily to take some needed breath as her lungs screamed for some air and she was pretty sure Emily felt if her heaving chest was anything to go by. "Do not apologize for that. Because it was so perfect."

"I was just panicking. I thought I read your signals wrong and I went too far."

"It was extremely impossible to read them wrong since I’ve been trying to not stare at your boobs for the past 20 minutes and I’ve been failing miserably." Emily snorted at Y/N’s admission, feeling a sense of pride swell in her chest as well as a familiar burning sensation in her lower stomach lighting her whole body up at Y/N’s admission.

"I think now is the right time to confess I chose this night gown on purpose." Y/N swallowed loudly when Emily winked seductively at her while puffing her chest up, giving Y/N the intoxicating view of her half exposed breasts.

"You like to torture me." Y/N murmured under her breath as her eyes never moved away from Emily’s chest, watching it move up and down with every breath the poet took and feeling her insides melt each time a nipple came in sight through the see-through fabric of Emily’s night gown.

"Why?"

"Because I can’t touch them."

"Who said you can’t?"

"Yo- wait, what?" Instead of answering verbally Emily smirked mischievously, grabbed Y/N’s wrist and pulled her hand towards herself. Just when it was hovering inches from her covered chest, she lifted her right eyebrow and silently asked Y/N if it was okay for her and smiled widely when the girl instantly nodded enthusiastically. The Y/H/C girl’s grin dropped as soon as her hand came in contact with Emily’s right breast and let out a small moan without noticing, making the poet groan at the unexpected attractive sound.

"Oh, Y/N." Emily whined and gripped Y/N’s wrist a bit more strongly when the girl squeezed her breast tentatively, but just right to light up her whole body with need.

"Come here." Y/N snaked her other hand behind Emily’s neck and pushed her harshly onto her lips to share a bruising kiss, reigniting the fire they set up a few moments prior. Y/N promptly swallowed another sound coming from Emily as she changed the angle of their kiss, full of passion but still chaste. But Emily needed more. She wanted to taste Y/N’s mouth fully. Just when Emily was debating with her mind to try to find the courage to deepen the kiss, Y/N beat her to it as her tongue licked the seam of Emily’s lips to ask for entrance. The poet granted it a few beats later with another small whine and her body got completely wrecked by a shiver running down her spine when their tongues met just as Y/N’s thumb and pointer finger found her nipple and pinched it gently but firmly.

"Oh fuck." They let their desire take over for a few minutes, giving their tongues time to explore the other’s mouth, licking every nook and cranny of each other’s mouth and swallowing every small sound they could pull from the other. As they kissed fervently, Emily’s other hand, until now placed meekly on her lap, sneaked into Y/N’s hair, after freeing them from the bun she had on all day and pulled on the Y/E/C girl’s scalp each time Y/N found a new way to stimulate her nipple or when her tongue moved just right. Their small moment was abruptly interrupted when they heard Emily’s family wishing each other a goodnight and they had to reluctantly pull away from each other, but not before sharing a few small, sweet pecks.

"I should go."

"No please, stay." Emily begged, leaning their foreheads together and sighing disapprovingly when Y/N removed her hand from her chest, only to smile widely when she grabbed Emily’s hand and intertwined their fingers together.

"I can’t. Your family is going to be upstairs any minute. We can’t get caught."

"You’re right." Emily sighed and nodded gently. Y/N had a point. "With Sue it was easier. My parents always let her sleep with me."

"Already talking about your ex with me Dickinson? Are you trying to make me jealous?" Y/N teased with a wide grin that widened when Emily blushed softly and pushed her gently on her shoulder.

"No, you jerk. I just wished it was that easier with you too. We wouldn’t have to stop this." Emily murmured seductively before leaning slowly towards Y/N and capturing Y/N’s lips in a slow but sensual kiss, making it last just a few seconds to tease Y/N and smirking widely when she accomplished her mission after hearing Y/N grunt in disapproval at her pulling away from the kiss and trying to follow her lips to kiss her again. "But you have a point. You sadly need to go. When do you have some time off tomorrow?"

"Around 11 a.m."

"Perfect, meet me here. I will tell my mom I need some help with my surprisingly ripped dress." Emily winked as she stressed the word ‘surprisingly’ and felt her heart swell at the sound of Y/N’s cute giggle.

"Alright. Goodnight Emily. Sleep well." They shared another kiss full of passion before Y/N quickly slipped out of Emily’s room, just a minute before Emily’s parents walked up the stairs to go into their room, followed right after by Lavinia.

Both girls had some troubles falling asleep that night as adrenaline still pushed through their bodies still burning with their passion, but after about an hour both girls fell asleep with wide grins on their lips, excited for the next day.

-

"Good morning my dear family!" Emily entered the living room with a brighter-than-the-sun smile, making the whole family stare at her weirdly.

"Should we get used to her being in a good mood every morning?" Edward asked his wife as both looked at Emily weirdly, eyebrows furrowed and confused expression on their faces.

"I like it." Lavinia interjected and giggled loudly when Emily run towards her and hugged tightly her over the chair. After a couple of seconds she walked to her chair and sat down, immediately stuffing her face with the delicious breakfast she had in front of her on the table.

"Hm, Maggie this breakfast is amazing!" Emily murmured with her mouth full of chocolate cake, rolling her eyes back in pure ecstasy as all the flavors hit her taste buds, completely ignoring her mother’s reprimand stare.

"Thank you Miss Dickinson, but I didn’t make it. Y/N did."

"Oh really? Where did you take the recipe?" Emily’s mother spoke up in disbelief as she too took a bite of her cake and widened her eyes comically at the tasty cake.

"It’s actually mine. It’s not that difficult to make. The secret is chocolate."

"Ugh, Y/N you need to teach me how to do this." Emily requested as casually as she could, this time waiting to swallow the cake and swiping the chocolate away from her mouth before talking, to not rise her family’s suspicions of her asking Y/N to teach her how to make a cake since she always refused to help her mom in the kitchen. "It’s delicious."

"Oh please Y/N if you succeed in making Emily do anything in the kitchen I will give you a week off." Emily turned her head towards her mother and stuck her tongue out, making her mother laugh at her in amusement.

"It would be a pleasure Miss Dickinson."

-

"Miss Dickinson?" Emily asked in a mocking tone, trying to make her best impression of Y/N, on Y/N’s lips after pulling away from the bruising kiss the two shared after Emily literally flung herself into Y/N’s arms as soon as they entered her bedroom, slamming her on the door.

"I can’t call you with your first name Emily, even if you asked me to."

"I know, but it was hilarious hearing you calling me by my last name. It’s weird."

"No, weird is being in a room with your parents when all my brain could think of was how good it felt kissing you." Y/N admitted with her eyes glued on Emily’s plump lips, biting down on her own bottom lip then to emphasize her appreciation of Emily’s lips.

"Not as good as feeling your hands on me." Emily countered back, purposefully arching her back to flush their chests together but whining in frustration when their corsets and dresses prevented them to feel anything.

"Yeah, it’s pretty much a tie." Y/N joked and thanked the door behind her back holding her up when Emily giggled on her mouth and the cute sound made her almost faint. "You are so beautiful." Y/N spoke up without even noticing as she stared at the poet with a loving gaze, creating goosebumps all over Emily’s skin.

"Not as much as you Y/N. That’s the first thing I thought that day at the well. I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of the nature, but as soon as my eyes landed on you, it was like threes and flowers never existed. It was just you."

"Shit, do not say things like that." Y/N shook her head as she bit hard on her bottom lip while closing her eyes and leaning her forehead on Emily’s one.

"Why?"

"Because it makes me want to kiss you."

"Then why are you not doing it?" It was all the validation Y/N needed. After opening her eyes for a brief moment to meet Emily’s brown irises for confirmation, finding in them only affection and entertainment, she surged forward and captured Emily’s lips in a slow kiss, full of passion. Y/N decided to keep the kiss as chaste as possible to savor the softness of Emily’s lips, caressing her back with both hands to feel Emily’s every curve she could despite the dress and corset in her way, but when Emily’s fingers dug in the back of her neck to silently ask for more, Y/N whined softly into the kiss and immediately bit down gently on Emily’s lips. Y/N shivered at the poet’s whispered whine but took advantage of that to slip her tongue into Emily’s mouth and lick every angle she could reach. "Oh."

"Shit." Y/N murmured into the kiss when her mind finally stopped spinning from Emily’s moan and shivered wildly when the poet took advantage of Y/N’s dazed state to suck harshly on Y/N’s tongue, pulling a whine from her throat. After a few moments Emily had to pull away to take some needed breath, not too far away, just enough so their noses could brush together gently. "That was so fucking hot. And fuck- that sound." Emily giggled at Y/N’s murmured words, her eyes staring lovingly at the her and a dopey smile adorned her kiss-swollen lips, and she thought about how happy she felt in that moment.

"Ugh, I wish you could stay here all day." Emily admitted out loud after a few seconds of them basking in the comforting silence, the two girls just existing together, wrapped up in each other’s arms, with their forehead leaned together and with their breaths mingling, sighing out sadly and leaning into Y/N touch when she caressed her back comfortingly.

"I know, but your mother and sister will be back with my aunt soon." Y/N sighed out sadly, caressing Emily’s sides gently as she committed to mind every small detail she could.

"Yeah and Sue will be over in an hour. We still need to talk."

"She just wants her best friend back, Emily. Give her a chance to be a good friend. You two were friends before having what you two had."

"You’re right. I want to talk to her too. I want my friend back, but I just- want to spend more time with you."

"You will, tonight." Y/N nodded encouragingly and smiled widely to hope to make Emily do the same and when she did a few seconds later her own grin widened ten sizes.

"Do not forget we have the house all for ourselves on Thursday."

"Already trying to get under my dress Dickinson?"

"Maybe." Emily winked with a mischievous grin, making Y/N laugh heartily before kissing her gently and slipping out of her room.

Counting the lines in the sky

Emily Dickinson x Male Reader

Request - If you write for the Dickinson TV show (starring Hailee Steinfeld) could I request one where r is Emily’s brother who is a creative writer like her?

Emily wants to attend to a lecture but women aren't loud to attend. Then Emily gets an idea but Sue isn't sure about it.

“I don't think it will work. Why not ask, Y/n about it and he can tell you” Sue said.

“No! I want to be there and experience it. Not fair, that only men can go to the lecture” Emily said.

“I know. But how are we going to get in?” Sue said.

“We will dress like men,” Emily said.

“Excuse me?” Sue said.

“We will dress like men and we will sneak inside” Emily smiled.

“But we don't own men’s clothes. No one woman has ever worn trousers” Sue said.

“But we will. And we can wear Y/n’s clothing. Now follow me!” Emily smiled.

Emily went to her brother’s bedroom and opened his closet. She takes out a few pants and gives it to Sue. Now, Emily picked out the shirts

“Now, we put them on,” Emily said.

“I can't believe I’m actually doing this,” Sue said.

Now, Emily and Sue start to get dressed. Emily looks in the mirror and she likes how the trousers feel. They leave the house and head to the lecture and Emily is feeling excited.

You are at the University, waiting for the lecture to start. While talking to some friends, you noticed Sue and Emily. At first, you thought your mind was playing a trick on you. The more you kept looking at them the more you knew it was your sister and Sue. You walk towards them fast and Emily pretends not to know you.

“Emily and Sue, what are you doing here?” You whispered.

“I’m not Emily,” Emily said.

“Who is Sue?” Sue said.

“Okay, enough. That mustache is fake and why are you wearing my clothes” You said.

“Fine, we are here for the lecture” Emily whispered.

“But it's for men only,” You said.

“So!? Please, don't tell anyone. We just want to attend the lecture. As a writer, you should know that” Emily said.

“Fine! If you two get into trouble I don't know who you are” You said.

“Fine,” Emily said.

“This won't end well, I just know,” Sue said.

The girls followed you inside the lecture hall. You are hoping no one will recognize them. But Emily is feeling excited listening to a famous writer and Sue is enjoying the lecture also. But someone recognized Emily and she panicked. Sue and Emily started to run before the headmaster got to question them. But you quickly left the lecture and started to run.

———

You went to look for Emily in her bedroom, but she wasn't there. But on her desk, you saw her journal opened. You grab the journal and you start to read it. You keep reading it then Emily walks in and takes the book away.

“I was reading that!” You yelled.

“It’s mine and you shouldn't have read it, Y/n,” Emily said.

“Why not? Is it because I write better than you?” You said.

She laughed but you didn't.

“I’m a better writer. Just because you are a man doesn't mean you are good at everything” Emily said.

“I never said I was better than you,” You said.

“Just don't read my stuff,” Emily said.

You stand up and before you leave you turn around.

“What Austin said about you he is wrong,” You said.

“Thank you, Y/n,” Emily said.

You leave her bedroom and she hides her journal for now.

✯ ✬ ✯ ✬

Emily took a break from writing and she sees you from the window. You are sitting by a tree and you are writing in your notebook. She went outside and she sat next to you.

“What are you writing?” Emily asked.

“Just writing stuff,” You said.

“Sue told me what happened. Your headmaster doesn't know what he is talking about, you are a talented writer” Emily said.

“I think he was jealous of me,” You said.

You and Emily laughed. You let her read your writing and you just wait for her to say something.

“Wow, Y/n this is well written,” Emily said.

“I have written more than I started over because I didn't like what I wrote before,” You said.

“I’m glad you didn't stop writing when the headmaster said you were wrong,” Emily said.

“We are stubborn writers, Emily,” You said.

“Yes, we are” Emily laughed.

She gave you back your notebook, and then you and Emily started to talk about writing and poetry.

———

Not often but you and Emily would write together. But you and your sister don't agree on many things.

“Do you think, people will read our writing from different countries?” Emily asked.

“That would mean that we would be famous,” You said.

“You could work on your spelling,” Emily said.

“I know how to spell. If I become famous don't be jealous, Emily” You said and winked.

“Y/n, it will be the other way. I will be more famous than you” Emily smiled.

You rolled your eyes at her. Later, you went to write in your notebook, and you got new inspiration. Emily couldn't stop daydreaming about being a famous writer as a woman.

NOTE: If you see any spelling mistake im sorry, english is not my first lenguage and i try to do it the best possible.

Y/n's POV

It's been two days since dinner and I think Emily is avoiding me at all costs. I don't know what I have done at some point without realizing it or if something has bothered her about my presence to avoid me.

I don't really understand her situation or I don't see a logical reason for her indifference towards me. Lavinia has been glued to me almost 24 hours a day both days and I have hardly had time to be alone with myself. It's not that I dislike spending so much time with her, since I've missed her and I don't have many friends in Massachusetts.

Sue has even come over to my house once, where we spent hours talking to catch up and reminisce about old times. In fact, right now I'm arriving at Austin and Sue 's house, since the latter has invited me to a small meeting that they will have there.

So with nothing better to do, I had accepted the offer and dressed in a short-sleeved plain burgundy red dress with a slight neckline that accentuates my breasts. The fabric of the dress shone as if the color red was alive and today I had decided to wear my half up. I had combed my hair in a different way, deciding to tie the top part of my hair into two braids that meet at the back of my head and the rest of my hair loose; leaving my soft waves in the air.

I knock on the door with a little force, when I hear the noise and the commotion from inside the house. It's not long before the door opens and an oddly pleased Austin opens the door to the house.

Austin: Y/n you're finally here.- he greets me energetically, opening the door wider and giving me a step into his house. - We thought you wouldn't come anymore. - he assures me closing the door behind my back.

Y/n: Wasn't this supposed to be a small meeting?- I ask amusedly, starting to take off my thin coat and leaving it in his outstretched hand.

Austin: It's a Suare friend of mine, it's not a meeting or a party.- He answers me amused, putting his arm around my shoulders and heading towards somewhere in the house.

Y/n: That's a lie.- I deny amused, letting myself go. -A suaré is practically a definition of a party.- I point out and he laughs in response.

Austin: Oops.- He feigns innocence with an amused little smile. - Everyone 's here anyway , Sue wanted to hide it from you and it turns out this is your welcome party.- he assures me and I look at him wide-eyed.

Y/n: No, I refuse.- I say and try to escape.

Austin: But what little desire for protagonism.- He laughs making his grip on my older shoulder. -This is your night and as far as I can remember before you loved being the center of attention.- he points out and I shake my head, still trying to escape.

Y/n: Yes, when I was 9 years old and I wasn't a single 23-year-old who preferred studying to marriage.- I remind him and he just laughs in response.

Austin: Ladies and Gentlemen, the guest of honor has arrived ! - he shouts as he enters the room, before I can react and cover his mouth so that he doesn't attract the attention of the guests.

I feel my cheeks burn with embarrassment as everyone at the party falls silent and turns their attention to me. I bite my lip a little awkwardly, making a small wave of my hand in greeting and praying that's enough to get them back to what they were doing before I arrived.

Sue : Welcome Y/nn.- she greets me excitedly, hugging me by the neck and separating me from her husband. –I thought you weren't going to arrive.- she tells me when we separate from the hug.

Y/n: Yes, well, if I had known that this was a trap and that you wanted to give me a welcome party; that would have been what would have happened.- I assure her a bit uncomfortable, still feeling several looks on me and not being able to avoid the heat flooding my cheeks.

Sue : That's why I didn't tell you yesterday when I invited you.- She assures me with a little amused laugh.

Lavinia: You're finally here.- She reaches towards me hugging me tightly and almost leaving me breathless.

Y/n: I'm glad to see you too Vini , but I need to keep breathing.- I warn her by giving her a few small touches on her arm to loosen her grip.

Lavinia: Look Y/n this is Henry my partner.- she introduces me to a skinny guy with a crooked smile and I greet him in a friendly way.

Y/n: I didn't know you had a partner Vini.- I comment confused , since in the last two days she has told me everything that has happened in his life and she hasn't told me about the part of the couple.

Henry: We broke up last week but we're back. - He tells me with a not very reliable smile and hugging my friend over the shoulders.

Y/n: Well, I'm glad you're together.- I say with a somewhat forced smile, Vini deserves better and there isn't this weird guy.

Toshiaki : But look what the wind brought.- He says approaching and passing his gaze over my entire body in a scrutinizing manner.

Jane: You look different.- she comments with a certain point of venom in her voice.

Abby : Well, I think it looks impressive.- she tells her friend before turning her gaze to me. -I like, I love the dress. Who made it for you?- She asks me with a friendly smile and I return it.

Y/n: The seamstress from Cambridge.- I answer with a friendly smile. -She's very good with stitches and she has some impressive designs.- I tell her and she nods.

Jane: I would love to have a dress as alive as yours, but I'm in mourning and death envelops my clothes.- she says to return to being the center of attention and that's when I notice her completely black outfit.

Y/n: And who are you mourning for? - I ask interested.

Jane: For my husband and father of my son.- She answers me and I have to use all my strength not to show surprise on my face.

I can't believe someone would marry Jane and put up with her ego for over a week. Although I would not be surprised if Jane herself was in charge of getting rid of her husband, to be the center of attention and that people are interested in her.

Y/n: I'm so sorry for your loss, Jane.- I say with false modesty, seeing how my best friend raises an eyebrow and looks at me amused. -It must have been a hard blow for you.- I comment and she nods, contracting her face.

Jane: Very hard, he died shortly after I gave birth to our son and everything is so difficult.- She assures me, placing her hand on her forehead and sitting down on the chair behind her.

Toshiaki : She's fainted.- he exclaims with concern, approaching her and giving her air with his hand.

I just look at my friend, seeing the shock on her face and a hint of humor at the wrinkles around her eyes. I think she senses my gaze, as she locks her gaze with mine gaze and rolls her eyes at the young widow's exaggeration.

I bite my lip, to keep from laughing and drawing even more attention. I shake my head in amusement, turning my attention back to the "fainting" woman and watch as she is coming back.

I take advantage of this distraction, I walk stealthily trying not to let anyone notice my movements and my escape. I walk out of the room, deciding that I need some air and space from the lockdown of my friends.

I sigh walking to the front door, slipping out as quietly as possible and walking around the side of the house and enjoying the darkness and stillness of the cool night.

I walk aimlessly across the grass, stopping when I see a silhouette on the back porch of the house and it catches my eye. I decide to move in that direction carefully, making out the silhouette of a woman sitting on the stairs and staring at the horizon.

Emily's POV

I don't understand how I got dragged and talked into coming to this stupid party by my sister and Sue. I don't like these kinds of parties, especially when they trick me into coming.

Turns out it wasn't going to be just any party, but a welcoming party for Y/n; whom I don't know and with whom I haven't spoken since dinner three days ago. The worst of all is that all the guests were commenting on their memories of her, some anecdotes and moments they spent together while we waited for the guest of honor.

Even Jane and Toshiaki who are the most narcissistic have told anecdotes and positive moments they had with her in the past. All this while I remained silent, unable to remember anything and listening to the rest talking about her.

The worst part is that every few minutes someone asked me about an anecdote and I couldn't do anything but keep quiet. Until the frustration got the best of me and I decided to leave the party to get some air.

Y/n: What have I done to you? - I hear how she ask me from behind, causing me to scream and jump in the spot in shock.

Emily: For the love of God, you can not do that and it would be nice if you avoid appearing from the shadows.- I ask with accelerated breathing, placing a hand on the unbridled beating of my heart and trying to calm down after the scare.

Y/n: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you and even less to make you have a bad time.- she excuses herself walking a couple of steps towards where I am and sitting next to me on the stairs.

Emily: They should put a bell on you like Lavinia's cats.- I assure her a little calmer now .

Y/n: I think my mother would agree with that.- She assures me with a small smile.

I just stay silent, watching every feature of her face and trying my hardest to remember her. It doesn't have to be everything, but something; some small memory or something that makes me see that I really know her from the past and thus be able to feel less guilty.

I realize that my silence causes a somewhat tense and uncomfortable atmosphere between us, so I think about how to break it so I can lighten the atmosphere.

Emily: Are you enjoying your party? - I ask the first thing that comes to my mind a little unsure.

Y/n: I don't really like parties and even less so when I'm the center of attention at them.- she answers me with a scowl on her lips and my gaze moves to them.

Emily: There are already two of us then.- I assure her and return my gaze to her eyes, hoping that she hasn't noticed my look on her lips a few seconds ago.

Y/n: I know , you have never liked large crowds and less when you are the center of them.- she comments with a somewhat sad look; or so I think.

Emily: Well, I guess that hasn't changed.- I sigh, turning my gaze to the front again.

Y/n: I guess it's one of the things that still stays with you.- she whispers and I can feel some pain in her voice.

Emily: People don't really change much.- I assure her, turning my face to look at her, seeing that she is also looking straight ahead and that makes her profile be lighted by moonlight.

Y/n: You'd be surprised how much a person can change over the years.- she assures me and I see her face contract in another grimace, but this time a sad grimace.

Emily: And why do you say that ? - I ask interested in her answer.

It's like dinner night, there's something about her that intrigues me and pulls me in like a magnet. I don't know what it is, but it's strong and draws my attention to her and her alone.

Y/n: For example Sue .- She answers me and that calls my attention even more .

Emily: What do you mean by that? - I ask confused and very interested in the new answer.

Y/n: When we were children, Sue was simple in a natural way, she liked to be the mother in everything and she was a calm person.- she begins to explain to me. –Now, on the other hand, she looks more complicated, she dresses in a flashy way, pretends to be an outgoing, crazy, intellectual and a materialistic person.- she answers me and raises an eyebrow in disagreement.

Emily: That's not true.- I deny in defense of my friend. -She is still the same person she was before, only she has suffered a lot and there are certain things she prefers to keep hidden.- I assure her and she shakes her head.

Y/n: Are you saying it from an objective point of view or from a sentimental point of view? - she asks turning her face to see me and I look at her surprised.

Emily: From the point of view of someone who has been by her side for 25 years.- I answer seriously and with a slightly angry frown.

She only watches me for a few seconds, to let out a sigh and turn her gaze forward. Now I'm the one watching her, noticing how she plays with her hands and keeps her gaze on the floor.

Y/n: I guess you're right, after all you've spent more time with her and you're able to notice the differences better than me.- she says and there's something in her tone of voice that I can't describe.

Emily: Can I ask you a question? - I say calling her attention and she returned to turn her delicate face towards me .

Y/n: Sure.- she agrees with a small nod of the head.

Emily: Vini told me that you asked about me in your letters.- I comment and I see how something changes in her eyes. –Why did you ask Vini about me in your letters ? - I ask curious about her answer.

Y/n: I was asking about both you and Sue , because it was the only way to know about you and because even if it wasn't a mutual feeling; I have continued to be interested in your lives.- She answers me somewhat sadly and I feel guilt invade me.

Emily: I...- I speak without really knowing what to say and how to apologize.

Y/n: That's why I want to know what I did to you.- she says to me and I look at her confused.

Emily: What did you do to me? - I ask without understanding what she means with it.

Y/n: Yes, what did I do to you to stop answering my letters from one day to the next and to act so distant with me since I'm back in Amherts .- she explains with evident pain in her voice.

Emily: I don't know if the answer is what you expect.- i assure her with guilt, for the evident suffering that this has caused her and not wanting to make her suffer more .

Y/n: 13 years.- she says and I look at her confused. -Thirteen years in which I have thought that some of my letters bothered you or that some of the things I told you hurt you so much that you stopped responding to me.- se explains and I lower my eyes not knowing how to deal with this.

Emily: Not even I myself would know the answer to that.- I assure her somewhat embarrassed.

Y/n: I don't believe you Emily.- She denies and I look up meeting her penetrating green eyes.

Emily: I wish it was a lie and I knew the reason why I stopped writing to you, but it's not.- I assure her and she purses her lips in disagreement with my answer.

Y/n: I don't believe you at all.- She angrily denies again and getting up from where we are sitting. -The Emily that I know would be direct and would tell me the reason why she stopped writing to me, even knowing that it could hurt me; but above all out of respect for our friendship.- she raises her voice and I imitate her, rising too.

Emily: Maybe the Emily you know no longer exists.- I say starting to get angry and taking a step towards her.

Y/n: YOU yourself have said that people don't change.- She reminds me upset; placing a finger on my chest.

Emily: And YOU yourself have said that people change.- I remind her in the same way, tapping her on the chest with my finger.

Y/n: What did I do that you didn't even wanted to greet me after thirteen years? - She asks me annoyed and taking a step towards me in an intimidating way.

Emily: I don't know.- I exclaim just as annoyed and taking another step; just a few inches from her face.

Y/n: Yes you do! - she yells making her nose touch mine for two seconds and that annoys me even more.

Emily: I don't know, because I don't even remember you! - I scream in her face and as soon as the words leave my mouth I regret it.

Her face loses all the anger in a second and her gaze turns from a lit to an absent one. She takes a step back, as if someone or something had hit her in the face and her face contorted in pain.

I see how her eyes fill with tears and how her lips begin to tremble. I try to take a step towards her, so I can get closer to her and try to comfort her. But as soon as I step forward she steps back and holds her hand up telling me not to.

I don't know what it is, but seeing her so affected and hurt breaks my heart. I feel an emptiness inside me and a cold envelop my body that I didn't feel a few seconds ago. I don't understand why seeing her so affected is having such an effect on me.

Emily: I'm sorry.- I whisper feeling an indescribable pain inside me.

Y/n: You don't remember me? - she asks with a broken voice and the first tear falls from her beautiful eyes.

Emily: No.- I answer in barely a whisper and feeling a familiar itch in my eyes.

Y/n: How?- asks me confused and I try to approach her again, but I get the same result as before.

Emily: I don't know.- I answer honestly feeling the first tear slide down my cheek. -I didn't even knew about your existence until three days ago, when Lavinia came into my room excitedly and told me that her best friend had come back.- I explain feeling more tears fall as she nods looking away.

Y/n: I guess if you were able to forget me, I didn't mean as much to you as you did to me.- she assures and I deny it immediately.

Emily: You can't know that.- I take a step towards her quickly. -You can't decide how important a person is to me.- I defend myself and try to grab her hand, surprising myself when she doesn't push it away.

Y/n: I don't decide it.- she denies looking at the ground. -Your own conscience has decided how important I was to you and I can only accept it.- she assures me, turning her face to look at me, and something in me moves at the sadness shown in her eyes.

Emily: That's not true, because if you hadn't been important to me, I wouldn't be feeling everything I'm feeling now and I wouldn't get so frustrated trying to remember someone with all my might.- I assure her and I observe every detail of her face slowly.

Y/n: That's because you are a curious person by nature and you pay attention to every possible detail.- She assures me and I look at her with interest. -And I know that because I do remember you, because I know I couldn't forget someone who has meant as much to me as you did.- she says separating her warm and soft hand from mine.

Emily: We can talk and try to see if I can remember.- I beg her, not wanting this to stay like this and feeling an immense emptiness just thinking about not talking to her again.

Y/n: There are things that cannot be achieved.- she denies sadly, taking a step back and letting the lantern on the porch illuminate the left side of her face.

Emily: We won't know if we don't try it.- I assure her, running my eyes all over her face and noticing for the first time the small scar on the lower part of her left eyebrow.

Y/n : I think it's better that we leave it here.- she says and before I can refuse, she speaks again. -You've been thirteen years without knowing i existed, i'll be leaving soon and the best thing for both of us is that it stays that way.- she assures me, wiping the tears from her face and I strongly deny.

Emily: Please, let me try to remember you and see if I can do it.- I beg  without stopping my crying.

Y/n: I've been here three days and you've barely looked at me.- she says with a serious face. -Let's keep it that way and I won't bother you anymore.- she nods and quickly walks away from me.

Emily: You don't bother me.- I whisper with pain, placing a hand on my chest and feeling that with each palpitation my heart hurts.

I'm left alone in the dark, feeling how my heart aches with every beat and how my mind burns at the shattered image of my childhood friend, whom I don't remember. I sigh closing my eyes trying to calm the pain in my chest and mind, before a blurry image comes to my head.

A blurred image of a young face, as young as a child's in black and white. But a color on the child's left side shines, a color that defines the human being from the living and the dead. Crimson red color trickles down the left side of the boy's face and a pressure settles in my chest.

The image becomes clearer, letting me see not a child; but to a blonde little girl with green eyes crying and with a gap in the lower part of her left eyebrow. Blood comes out of that wound, running down the girl's flushed cheek to her chin and ending up on her sky-light blue dress.

You moved to Amherst about three months ago and became really good friends with your next-door neighbour, Emily. Friends aren’t the only term that should describe this relationship. The two of you are a little more than friends. You’re not really dating Emily, it’s more like she owns you. She gets to do whatever she wants to you, whenever she wants to do it. Tonight she and her siblings are throwing a party where they will invite half the town while their parents are away in Boston. You decided to go over earlier to help them set up.

You knock on the door and it swings open with Emily standing in the doorframe looking you up and down in your dress.

“Hi princess.” She says as her eyes are practically undressing you as you stand on her front porch.

Your cheeks blush as you take a step through her door.

“Hi, Emily.” You say as you pass by her and she immediately wraps her hands around your waist pushing you against the wall behind you.

“What did we say you call me when we’re alone again?”

“Sorry, I didn’t know if anyone was around or—“

Emily raises an eyebrow at you only inches away from your face.

“Sorry, mommy.”

“Better.” She says as she kisses down your neck. You hear footsteps quickly approaching and you give her a little tap on the waist letting her know. She takes a small bite into your neck and pulls away.

“Hey, Austin!”

“Hey y/n! Excited for tonight?” He says with an adorable smile.

“I am, I am! What can I do to help set it up?”

“Oh! Actually, that’s perfect can you—“

He’s cut off by Emily, “sorry Austin, I actually need her help with something. I’ll send her down to you when I’m done with her.”

A small shiver goes up your spine hearing Emily say that. What was she going to do with you?

Emily grabs your hand and pulls you upstairs. As soon as she shuts the bedroom door behind you she immediately resumes where she was 2 mins ago. She’s leaving little kisses trailing down your exposed collarbone. Little moans escape your mouth as she touches a sweet spot on your neck.

“Excited princess?” She whispers in your ear.

Your eyes are practically rolling back in your head at the feeling of her hands wandering about your body. She quickly pulls you away from the wall and crashes against her lips as she pushes you back against her bed. She’s sitting on top of you kissing you and you didn’t even realize she already undid the back of your dress. Your dress is pulled down revealing your chest and a Lacey black bra underneath.

“Did you wear this for me princess?” She moans at you.

“Yes, Mommy.”

“Good girl.”

Emily starts kissing down your chest in between your boobs slowly making her way down to your underwear. There’s one spot on your hip that when she kisses it your hips buck and you can’t help but squirm. She loved seeing you squirm. She slips her hand down the front of your underwear as one finger slips between your wet folds.

“Holy shit, you’re so wet, princess.”

You can’t help but moan as her finger traces over your clit. “Oh, somebody likes that.” She says with a smile. Without any warning, Emily shoves two fingers inside you and your back arches up and your eyes roll backwards. Fuck all you wanted— needed was to feel her touch. She never does this. She always makes you beg on your knees to have her even look at you. Something about tonight must have her excited. She is quickly pumping her hand in and out of you as your underwear shimmied down your legs a bit, just enough for her to get a better angle. As you feel yourself close to your high her tongue comes down to your pussy and starts drawing circles around your clit.

“Oh— mommy— I think I’m going to cum.” You moan out as she continues pumping her long fingers in and out of you. As your heartbeat increased and your breathing got more and more shallow she pulls away.

Your head shoots up and looks at her in confusion.

“Nice try princess. If you want to cum tonight you’ll have to work for it.” She says licking your juices off her fingers.

You knew it was going to be too good to be true. Your hand slowly slithers down to your pulsing core as she slaps it away.

“Uh no baby. Like I said, if you want to cum tonight you’ll have to work for it. I have a list of rules you need to follow if you want to have a good night after the party. If you don’t follow the rules, well, bad girls get punished right?”

You nodded at her agreeing.

“Sorry, what was that?”

“Yes, mommy.”

“Good girl. So tonight, I don’t want you to wander far from me okay? I want to be able to see you at all times. If I see you flirting or getting too close to another person you will pay for that. If I see you getting too drunk and sloppy, you will pay for that. If I hear you call me Emily or anything other than mommy when other people aren’t around you will definitely pay for that. Got it?”

“Yes, mommy.” You say still trying to calm yourself down after not being able to feel the release you thought you were promised.

“Oh, and if I catch you trying to play with yourself at any point…you will be punished.” She says with a huge smile.

“Now! Let’s go help Austin set up.” She says helping you out of bed and doing up your dress in the back as she places soft kisses on the back of your neck causing your knees to feel like they were going to buckle.

The two of you helped Austin set up food, drinks and other items as the guests started showing up.

In the first few guests, one of Emily’s other really good friends Sue showed up. Sue was gorgeous. You loved Emily but oh my gosh was Sue beautiful. You couldn’t help but allow thoughts of her to slip into your mind every now and then, especially when Emily was having her way with you.

“Hi, y/n!” “Sue! It is so lovely to see you.” You say with a big smile.

“Oh– um, let me help you with that.” She says noticing your falling out a bit in the back. She turns you around and quickly fixes it with a small pin.

“Thank you.” You mouth to her as you see Emily starring the two of you down. “No problem,” She says as her hand rests on your lower back, a little too low for comfort for Emily.

More guests pile into their house and all of you start dancing and drinking and having a great time. You keep an eye on Emily to ensure you’re not wandering off too far from her. There may have been one or two times where you left the room briefly but you always came back, ensuring you didn’t break any of her rules.

“Hey, y/n, can you show me where you guys keep the extra drinks? The punch bowl is empty.” Sue says to you.

“Hey, yeah, of course, follow me.” You say as you walk to the back of the house not even thinking of staying around Emily. You were slightly intoxicated, not like dancing on the table drunk, but out of your mind enough to not be overthinking every little action you do to ensure you’re pleasing Emily.

“Here we are!” You say pointing to the extra bottle of champagne. The champagne was in a tiny little closet that was big enough to fit two people at the end of the back hallway, far from everyone else. When you look up at Sue wondering why she hasn’t grabbed a bottle yet she looks at you with absolute hunger in her eyes. She quickly grabs your hips and pushes you back into the closet, closing the door behind her. She crashes her lips against yours as your eyes shoot open widely. Not sure what to do, you being slightly drunk did not help you make a decision fast enough. Before you could even push Sue off of you the closet door swung back open and Emily was standing there looking at the both of you. She grabbed your wrist not saying anything and pulled you out of the closet and practically dragged you upstairs. As the door slammed behind you she immediately pushed you onto her small bed. “Now what did I say about breaking my rules? You’re in so much trouble puppy.”

You look up at her with slight worry in your eyes. “Emily– I tried pushing her off she was the one–” She cut you off. “Wow. Calling me Emily and talking when you weren’t asked to? Did you want to make this even worse for yourself?” You gulped and stayed quiet trying not to fear what she had in store.

“Get undressed. Now.” She says to you in a stern voice as you start quickly peeling layers off yourself. You have all your clothes off to then turn around and see Emily standing there wearing a lacey red bra and a huge strap on. “Get on your knees.”

You quickly do as she says as she grabs the back of your hair and pulls your head back causing your mouth to open. She slowly starts drawing circles around your mouth with the tip of her dick and without warning shoves it all the way in, as far as she could get it. She pulls it back out with all of your salivae as well and continues to thrust back into you. “You look it when I fuck your mouth with my cock princess?” “Yes, mommy.” You try to say as you’re choking on the silicone in your mouth. She pulls out and orders you onto the bed. As you lay down you feel her flip you over onto your stomach as she positions herself behind you. One hand slips under your waist and pulls upwards bringing your ass into the air as you hold yourself up on your hands and knees. You feel the cold sensation of her cock pressed up against your wet folds. All you wanted was to feel her inside of you. You slowly try pressing your hips back when she grabs them with both of her hands and pushes you forward. “No, no, no princess. I’ll say when you get to feel me inside of you.”

She slowly brings her dick back to your entrance and teases you by running the tip and down your clit, through your folds. You can’t believe how good something as simple as this felt. After her not letting you release earlier, this was almost enough to get you off. You started breathing deeply and letting out little moans. Emily noticed this and she didn’t want you getting too excited so she immediately thrust into you. You let out a throat-wrenching moan when she pumps in and out of you. She quickly brings one of her hands to your mouth covering it and pulling you up towards her so that she could whisper in your ear. “We can’t be too loud princess. You don’t want anyone to hear and come upstairs do you?”

“No, mommy.”

“Okay, then be a good girl and swallow your screams.”

You let out a quiet moan as she says this while her hand drops down to draw little circles on your clit as she continues to fuck you from behind. You were practically whimpering at her touch. As pulls her hand away, it moves to your middle back and pushes you back down so your face is buried in her pillows. Using both of her hands to hold herself on your hips, she starts putting everything she has into thrusting in and out of you. She is spanking your ass as her cock slams into you from behind. You had to cover your own mouth to not scream out her name. “Mommy– I think I’m going to cum.” You say. That was a mistake. Emily immediately pulls out of you and you let out a groan. “I want to hear you beg for it, princess.”

“Please mommy– Please let me cum.” You whimper out as she flips you onto your back and starts trailing kisses down your stomach. “More.”

“Mommy, please! I want to feel your touch I want you to make me cum.” You say

She slowly starts pumping one finger into you as your walls wrap around it she can feel the tension building. Her tongue flickering up and down your folds ever so slightly grazing your clit with every pass. You could feel yourself getting lightheaded from her slow motions. “Faster– Please, faster.” You grunt.

Emily interest another finger into you and she picks up the pace as she uses her tongue to spell out her full name on your clit. A few seconds later she could tell you were going to climax.

“Cum for me princess.”

With those words, she pushed you over the edge, continuing to thrust into you as your body spasmed and you grabbed her head pushing it further into you. She let you ride out your high as your body jerked on her fingers and you squirted your juices all over her face. Once your body finally settled back down onto the bed she comes up to you and lays a long kiss on your lips. “Do you like how you taste princess?” she asks. “Yes, mommy.”

“Good. Be ready in 10 minutes to go again. You still have a lot of work to do tonight.” She says taking her strap off and guiding your hand down to her centre. She smirks at you and you knew you were in for a long night but there was no other place you would have rather been.

-- The End --

Emily x Reader Come With Me part 1

Emily had you pressed up against a tree her hands settled on your waist, and her lips were currently attached to your neck. Usually you wouldn't mind at all but she was making it really hard to remember. Why you asked her to meet you out here in the woods in the first place. While you knew a make-out session was bound to take place considering the two of you hadn't seen each other in almost two months.

Because your mother asked you to accompany her on her trip to California, and of course you said yes with your taste of adventure. It was hard to turn her down the only downside was that Emily couldn't go with you, because she wanted to stay. So she could be there when Sue finally had her baby. You knew things between the two of them were over considering Sue had not only married Austin, but now had a child with him. But there was a part of you that couldn't help but be jealous of the hold. She still had on Emily.

Which led to a huge argument between the two of you before you left. Emily wrote you countless poems apologizing and trying to profess just how much she loved you. At first you didn't reply to any of them only because you were so caught up with being in a new place. But eventually you took the time to sit down, read them, and they reminded you. Why you fell for Emily Dickinson in the first place.

You finally wrote her back but by the time your letter reached her. It'd been so long so as soon as you were within reach of her. Emily pinned you back to the tree muttering out a quick apology. When you grunted when your back made impact with the tree none too gently. But that was as far as you got before her lips were on yours making all your thoughts go haywire.

You gripped her arms with intention to make her stop, but then your earlobe got caught between her teeth. Then your hands were moving up to cup her face so you could bring her lips back onto yours. Emily let out a soft moan wrapping her arms around your waist to bring your body closer. But before things could go any further your mother's words rung in your head. It took quite a bit of willpower, but you managed to unlatched your lips for her's. You moved your head away as she chased your lips letting out a whine. Emily started peppering kisses on the side of your mouth instead.

"Emily we need to take a breather" you panted gripping her arms again.

"If you need a breather that's just fine y/n. I'll take care of you." She murmured moving her lips back to your neck finding your sweet spot.

Oh god she had to stop you wouldn't be able to control yourself much longer. This conservation couldn't wait till later considering you had limited time to tell her.

"Emily seriously stop I need to talk to you" You said a bit more serious this time.

Emily pulled away immediately with a worried expression on her face. Had she offended you? Were you still angry with her? "y/n is everything okay I'm sorry if I overstepped your boundaries. I-I ju-just thought yo-you wanted th-this to." Her voice started to crack up at the end as tears started to well up in her eyes.

Oh good lord you wasn't trying to hurt her feelings. "Hey hey calm down of course I want this. I always want you I just need to talk to you about something important." You reassured her taking her face in your hands using your thumbs to wipe the tears away.

Emily let out a cry in relief nodding her head "what's so important?"

You led around the giant tree to a clearing where a blanket was laid out for the two of you. There was small box and a picnic basket on it. "I got brought a gift back from California, and there are some baked goods in the basket."

"You didn't bake those did you?" She asked her tone teasing.

You shot her an obvious fake angry look before digging your fingers into her side making her squeal. "No I didn't actually my mother did."

"Ok ok I'm sorry" she pleaded trying to pull away from your embrace. You decided to have mercy bringing your fingers to a stop. The two of you went over to the blanket and sat down.

"So what did you get me?" she asked laying her head in your lap.

You grabbed the small book shaped wrapped gift and held it over her head. "Open it and and find out my love."

Emily sat up and took the gift tearing the paper away with excitement to reveal. A brown leathered journal with the word wanderlust on it along with a pack of pencils.

"I figured you need something to keep a better track of all your poems plus. Once you fill it you won't have to worry about stitching it together like a book. It's already in book form for you what did you think?" You asked bumping her shoulder.

Emily was silent for a while trying to find the words to truly thank you for such a great gift. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes and this time she didn't hold them back. Instead she turned to hug you burying her face into your shoulder. "Its perfect y/n thank you this must have cost you so much."

"Hey nothing cost too much for you" You murmured into her ear letting her hold you as long as she wanted. Eventually she pulled away to reach for the picnic basket. For a while y'all just shared the baked goods as she listened to all of your adventures in California.

"My mom never looked so angry she wanted to have my head for getting my dress so dirty." You laughed laying back as your stomach began to hurt.

Emily was in hysterics at this point as well her head back in your lap. "But was it worth it though?"

"Are you Emily Dickinson really asking me if it was worth to try and do man's work?" You shot back referring to her story about her and Sue seeking into a lecture dressed as men.

"Oh just answer the question y/n"

"Of course it was worth I found two pounds of gold, and this gentleman made the other men let me keep it. I'm pretty sure he fancied my mom and was hoping to get in her good graces for his act of bravery."

"I'm starting to think your mom was in on it" Emily said raising a eyebrow at you.

"if she was I didn't know" You said holding up your hands.

"Alright as much as I love your stories what did you really need to tell me?" she asked making eye contact with you frowning when you looked away. Her hand reached out to yours gripping it as tight as she could to encourage you.

"My mom really fell in love with California, and ever since my dad died. Things just haven't been the same here she hates being in the house where everything started. The constant memory of him is just too much, so she wants a fresh start in Cali."

Emily sat up "okay what's that gotta do with us?" Her question held a knowing tone as if she was predicting exactly where this conservative was going.

"Emily I'm all my mother has I can't let her go off to such a faraway place alone. She needs me plus she's selling the house to pay for a new one out west. I want you to come with me to California it'll be our first adventure together."

"You're not just going for your mom you're going because your insatiable taste for adventure y/n. And what about my sister I can't just leave her behind plus Aust-"

You cut her off before she could finish "Your sister can take care of herself, and Austin has a whole family to take care of. He will be fine without Emily are you saying no because of Sue?"

"No its not stop bringing her up every time I turn you down. I told you I love you, and have done more than enough to prove it." Emily said angrily scooting away from you.

"Yeah everything except pick me there's always something standing in your way. I would drop everything to follow you anywhere Emily Dickinson and you know that. Is it so bad that I want you to do the same for me." You cried getting to your feet.

"Y/N my family is important to me you know that. Of course I want to go with you but I just can't" she pleaded grabbing your wrist. You paused to look back at her.

"That's a shame you know you're the most important person in my life. I wish it was the same vice versa I need to go home see you later." Were your last words as you pulled away and began to walk away.

Emily called out to you pleading that you come back, and just talk it over with her some more.

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back: From a Certain Point of View-Review

2017′s From a Certain Point of View was the sort of risk taking, unique little Star Wars book that quickly earned a special place in the hearts of fans and readers. While The Empire Strikes Back follow up may not quite reach the creative heights of its predecessor, it still makes for a eclectic, often mesmerizing read that pays homage to one of the best Star Wars movies ever made.

The premise to From a Certain Point of View is a simple, but ambitious one. Gather forty authors to tell forty self contained Star Wars stories that when stitched together convey the entirety of the plot of a given movie. It’s a creative way of paying tribute to the storytelling legacy of these iconic films while also mining their narrative nooks and crannies for the original tales hiding in the shadows. Like last time, Lucasfilm Publishing has gathered many of their mainstay writers like Delilah S. Dawson, Jason Fry, Charles Soule, Christie Golden, Daniel Jose Older, and Alexander Freed, but alongside are all manner of genre fiction heavy hitters such as Martha Wells, Catherynne M. Valente, and Hank Green. It allows for a wide variety of voices to take a swing at an iconic story and bring different stylistic flourishes to this universe.

As would be expected from an anthology, the stories in this installment of From a Certain Point of View run a tonal, thematic, and quality gamut. Many experiment with form and concept while others are perfectly content to tell well realized, if familiar Star Wars stories. Jason Fry, for example, spins a tight, exciting, and emotionally engaging Wedge Antilles story that is sure to please fans of the character and of the classic X-Wing novel series. Michael Kogge’s Bossk story, “Tooth and Claw,” is a brutal and affecting narrative of prejudice and interspecies conflict that feels like a natural culmination point for the character.

There are others that experiment with style and point of view. From a Certain Point of View provides stories told from the minds of tauntauns, wampas, ship computers, space slugs, and even the Force cave on Dagobah. While not all of these prove as exciting as others, taking a step into these riskier and more bizarre narratives is part of the treat of this collection and when they work, they really work. Somehow Catherynne M. Valente’s space slug piece ends up being the most emotionally affecting story of the entire collection. Other experimental stories include Charles Yu’s “Kendal” which takes a page from Tobias Wolff’s iconic “Bullet in the Brain” to explore the final moments of consciousness of the ill-fated Imperial Admiral Ozzel.

Those looking for insights on familiar characters will find themselves best served by Jim Zub’s “First Lesson,” Mike Chen’s “Disturbance,” and Mackenzie Lee’s “There is Always Another” which focus on Yoda, Darth Sidious, and Obi-Wan Kenobi respectively. However, some of the most rewarding stories are those that create a world hiding in the margins of Star Wars. Hank Green’s “A Naturalist on Hoth” imagines the careers of Rebellion ecologists and the complicated roles they must take in the support of the Alliance’s warfront. Django Wexler’s highly amusing and even romantic “Amara Kel’s Rules for TIE Pilot Survival (Probably)” adds needed empathy to the hapless pilots of the Empire. S.A. Chakraborty mines both humor and unexpected drama out of the poor cook assigned to prepare a meal for a certain Dark Lord of the Sith. And perhaps most welcome of all, Brittany N. Williams gives us the L3-37 follow up we’ve all been waiting for in the gratifying and tragic “Faith in an Old Friend.”

There is also one story in here that transcends the function all together and becomes a genuinely stirring and unsettling science fiction narrative of its own. Seth Dickinson’s “The Final Order,” which follows the final commands of an Imperial admiral before being crushed to death by an asteroid, is an incredibly realized narrative of a man who has spent his life willed and shaped by the forces of fascism and now stands unable to escape it. It’s an unflinching look at the harm of an organization like the Empire while creating an understanding, if not sympathy, for the men and women caught up in its wake. It’s a standout story by any regard and easily one of the best pieces of Star Wars prose that has been released in recent years.

There are, of course, other installments that aren’t as successful. The lone comic installment, Katie Cook’s “The Dragonsnake Saves R2″ is cute, but also hard to follow and too short to make much of an impression. “A Good Kiss” and “Heroes of the Rebellion” tell stories that cover similar ground and in too quick a fashion to create distinct identities for themselves. Karen Strong’s “Into the Clouds” tells the story of a wannabe bounty hunter that experiences a change of heart that feels too simplistic and easily charted to reach the earnest emotional beat that is searched for at the end. None are bad, but there are quite a few stories in this forty installment stack that simply don’t reach the mark that they are shooting for.

One oddly unexpected problem occurs in that much of the first and second halves of the collection tend to blur together and read strikingly similarly. It only makes sense that given their vibrant settings and dozens of intriguing periphery characters that Hoth and Bespin would command large portions of this book’s page length. However, given that The Empire Strikes Back has both of these settings evacuate under threat of the Empire, a wide number of stories end up following different characters in scrambles for safety and escape before disaster. It would normally make for thrilling content, but after reading four stories in a row of rebels escaping Echo Base, the film’s middle act feels like a welcome reprieve, only to do a repeat in the final third in Cloud City. It’s a minor complaint, but it takes away much of the always fresh feeling of discovery that makes these collections their most enjoyable.

As a whole, this latest From A Certain Point of View collection is still worth your time. Those looking for something different mixed with something familiar will get a lot out of this collection that spans a wide breadth of Star Wars iconography. Also, given that this project, like its predecessor, was designed as a charity object for “First Book,” an organization that provides reading material to under served communities, its a project that has great intentions and, hopefully, impact as well.

Finally, since I just can’t get enough lists. Here are the forty stories of this From A Certain Point of View ranked:
