Based on the facts you gave. It would be very difficult to sustain a conviction against you.

legally you are not guilty but if she claims that you two planned it together it is remotely possible for you to get charged.

It is not likely based upon the facts as described. However if a conspiracy is alleged,it is possible to be charged. It is highly inlikely you would however be convicted.
