Emily goes for an optometrist appointment knowing Alison is the optometrist. Although her eyes may be perfectly fine, she just wants to see the blonde and eventually ask her out by purposely 'ruining' her eyes.
Emily has been swimming competitively for five years now. She knows the limits when she's pushing herself way too hard. When Emily's mother, Pam wanted her to check up on her eyes, she was met with the most beautiful optometrist in the world. Her dirty blonde hair and intense blue eyes were constantly locking at her gaze when she went to get her eyes checked.
Emily knew that she was one hell of a catch, and so for the next month of so, Emily has purposely swam without her goggles. Her eyes would then become irritated and red, eventually pushing her mother to take her to see Alison, her optometrist. It has been ongoing, only having Emily to lie saying, 'oh that's really blurry' or 'my eyes really hurt in the sun.'
She knew it was stupid, but she wanted to see Alison. Again and again. This time, Emily was alone. Her mother wasn't able to come with her since she had to pick up her husband, Wayne from the airport.
"Emily?" Emily shot her head up from the waiting room to meet the same blue eyes she's grown accustomed to. She stood up and gave a shy smile.
"That's me."
"I know who you are." Alison says with a wink which makes Emily blush like mad. "You come quite often." Alison says as Emily enters the room and takes a seat.
"Yeah, you know. The chlorine and stuff really stuffs my eyes from swimming." Emily says with a shrug.
"Hmm." Alison hums, before applying eye drops into Emily's eyes. Cupping her chin gently, although it was a simple gesture, Emily couldn't help but scream a little inside. "The thing is Emily, is that I don't see a problem with your eyes. I took photographs of them and they seem healthy. You can read both short and long distance. I've given you eye drops from the redness and dryness the chlorine's giving you." Alison says with a frown as she stares deeply into the mocha coloured orbs, as if trying to find an answer from them.
"Well, they're giving me headaches." Emily lies rather obviously. Alison raises her brow.
"Is that so ?" She asks, earning a nod from the younger girl. "Well, how long has that been going on for?" She asks.
"Few weeks."
"I think you may need glasses." Alison challenges, which got the swimmer's attention.
"What? No! I don't need them! My eyes are fine there's nothing wrong I swear, don't tell my mum that." Emily says, sitting up straight. Alison smirks now that she's caught her red handed. "Dammit." Emily mutters.
"So, you're eyes are fine." Alison says as Emily nods in shame. "Why are you here then?" Alison asks.
"I just, don't have anything better to do." Emily says.
"So you come to eye check ups in your free time?" The blonde asks with a chuckle. "Wait, are you intentionally damaging your eyes, Em?" Alison asks her and Emily likes the way her nick name falls off her tongue.
"Well..."
"Emily! Why would you do such a thing?! Never take things for granted!" Alison lectures her.
"I know! I just wanted some time to spend with you cause I think you're cute." Emily blurts.
"What?" The blonde blinks in confusion.
"What?"
"Emily..."
"Alison..."
The blonde sighs in frustration before she starts giggling, soon after the brunette joins her. "You did that just to spend time with me?" Alison asks, earning a shy nod. "That is probably the most stupidest and cutest thing." Emily snaps her head to her, shocked.
"If you wanted to see me, just ask. Don't damage your eyes for me. How about this Friday a movie at my place?"
Emily's mouth drops slightly, unable to answer. "I'll take that as a yes. Well, I need to get the next client. I'll see you then." Alison winks as she escorts her out of the room.
