thirty-eight.

"I feel like we haven't gone out together in ages." Emeraude sighed as she flicked through multiple items of clothing on the metal rack.

"That's because we haven't." Aria replied, as she paid for the new shoes she had fell in love with.

"Also because Aria is so sexually active and can't stand being an hour away without Matt inside her." Katherine said lowly once Aria had returned by their side, humour laced in her tone.

Aria gaped and smacked her arm, at which Kat laughed loudly to. "No but seriously, since you went to New York, we've hardly hung out."

"Well," Aria spun around with a large grin. "I call for a girl's night, at my house."

Em gasped. "Us? Kat and Em, have finally become worthy to enter your humble abode?"

Kat cleared her throat. "Actually," She paused, glancing awkwardly to Em. "I've been to her house."

Emeraude's mouth dropped open, mock hurt etched across her face. "When?"

"For the finding dory premier a couple months ago. She helped me get ready." She replied. Once seeing the solemn expression on her face, she defended, "You were away with Royce!"

Emeraude's eyes widened in realisation as she nodded, "Oh yeah, sorry."

"Well if we're done crying about how you weren't invited to my house, maybe we should actually make our way to my house?"

The two other girls simultaneously nodded. "Let's go."

"Okay, so tell us." The Latina said, crossing her legs comfortably on Aria's bed.

"Tell you what?" Aria absentmindedly said, as she munched on her bag of Doritos.

"How are you and Matt doing? And I don't mean the typical "good", I mean really, how are you doing?" Emeraude asked, her question now setting the mood serious.

Of course, Kat had to be the one to break the now serious mood.

"By the looks of it, they're doing very good."

The two girls turned to see her holding up an almost empty condom box, a mischievous grin playing on her lips.

Aria gasped and shot up, snatching the box away from her hands. Kat laughed out loud, Emeraude soon joining in.

"Guys stop, oh my gosh." Aria tried to calm them down, but her reddening face only made them laugh harder.

"You know Em, you're sitting on the exact spot where all the magic happens."

And with that simple line, the brunette shrieked and jumped off the bed. "You guys are too much."

With their laughter dying down, the mood eased back to the previous mood, before Kat interrupted it.

"Now answer my question." Em whined, chucking a pillow at her face.

Aria's head bent down, a small smile playing on her lips. "It's amazing. Like, I've been in relationships that have lasted a year even, but Matt and I's relationship, even though we've been dating for less than a year, it's so real. You can really feel that this relationship is something worth keeping, that it's a relationship that will really last."

"Do you see yourself having a future with him? You know, marriage, children, and I'm being serious this time." Em said softly.

Aria nodded after a few moments. "I do. At first, the idea of kids, marriage, that life, seemed so terrifying. I didn't think I would commit my self to that life. But being with Matt, changed it all. I love him, so much, that I would spend the rest of my life with him."

"And you mean this? All of it?"

"I do."
