Emily Fields had the late shift at the Cafe, which required her to close at 9p and do inventory. It was a five to 8 when her last customer left the shop. She had made the decision to close early if it continued to be slow like it had been all day. Just when 8p hit, the bell above the door rang and she looked up to see a beautiful blonde with the most captivating eyes. "Hi, are you guys still open?" asked the gorgeous stranger. "Erm, y-yeah, yes w-we are," Em stammered. "Can I help you?" A nod. "Yeah, I pass this place all the time. I moved her a month ago and I need a break from unpacking and parents," she says with a shrug. "I'm Alison Dilarentis, but you can call me Ali," she says as she extends her hand. Emily accepts it, ignoring the shiver going down her spine at the contact, "Emily Fields, nice to meet you Ali. So, what can I get you on this great escape of yours?" Ali giggles and places her order for a tea and croissant and sits at a table by the window, pulling out a book, Lolita, to read. It doesn't take Emily long seeing as Ali is the only customer, she approaches her and sets her order on the table. Looking up from her book, Ali smiles at Emily, "Would you mind joining me Emily? I could use the company seeing as there's no one else is here," she says as she surveys the empty Cafe. "Sure," replies Em as she takes the seat opposite of the blonde. "So tell me a little about yourself Emily," she states as she takes a sip of her coffee. "What do you wanna know?" Ali grins, "Everything." They talk well into the night, before they knew it, it was pass 9:30p. They discussed Emily's parents, her best friends (Hanna, Aria, and Spencer) and Rosewood High, where Ali will be attending in the fall. Ali was a little discreet, speaking on her parents, brother, as well as her grandma who is her favorite person in the world. She also explained how she moved because her dad got a job transfer. "Whoa is that the time," exclaims Emily as she looks at the time on her phone. "I am so sorry Ali, but I have to lock up and head home. It was great meeting you and getting to know you a little," she smiles. "Oh that's okay. How about we get to know a little bit more about each other on our second date?" smirks Ali. "Second? When did we go on a first date?" Ali smiles and moves in a little closer, "Well, I don't know about you, but the moment I entered into this Cafe and saw this beautiful girl and saw her smile I was hooked. Also it just so happens that she joined me and we had great conversation and I want to do it again. So, I would like if this counted as our first date, seeing how I'm about to kiss you," Ali says already leaning in and kissing Emily softly and sweetly before pulling back. "Bye Em." Ali walks out the door leaving a smiling, but shocked Emily standing in her wake. Exchanging numbers at some point during the night, Emily quickly pulled out her phone and texted Ali. I can't wait for our second date. Goodnight Ali. Ali was quick to reply with a simple, Goodnight beautiful. Emily went through inventory before heading home heading straight to bed, in anticipation for tomorrow.
