Over the next three day's Emily made it her mission to get better for the date; she took every medicine she could, she stayed in bed and eat properly. All that obviously helped but the fact that every day after work Alison would come over and take care of the blonde worked better than any medicine in the world; well at least that's what Emily thought. Even though she couldn't kiss the blonde because she refused to make her ill before the date, Alison's presence simply made her feel better.
And so, three days later the blonde lightly chapped on the brunette's door; she couldn't wait for their first date. She had waited so long for this and couldn't believe that it was finally happening. As she drifted away in her thoughts the brunette checked herself in the mirror one last time before opening the door. She wanted to look perfect for this date and she did; she wore a short, tight black skirt with a white top tucked into it to make it look like a dress. Her brown curls flowed perfectly over the outfit.
The blonde on the other hand was wearing a fitted short, low cut black dress with a long coat on top to protect her from the cold. Funnily enough she had also decided to curl her hair and the curls went perfectly with the dress.
"Wow." Was the only thing that escaped Emily's mouth when she opened the door; her eyes were firmly glued to Ali. The blonde couldn't help but smirk; she loved the effect she had on the brunette.
"You look amazing." Emily finally managed to say after a good minute of staring.
"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." Alison replied with a smirk as she stared at the brunette; Emily's cheeks began to blush at the statement. Alison moved closer to Emily who was still standing inside until she was just a few inches away from the brunette.
"So, um now that you're not ill, do you think I can get that kiss I've been waiting for?" Alison said with a slight smirk. Straight away the brunette closed the distance between their mouths. The blonde couldn't help but smile into the kiss. As Emily wrapped her arm around Ali and pulled her closer the butterflies in Ali's stomach grew; she hadn't felt like this about anyone in years. Wait, that's a lie; she hadn't felt like that about anyone apart from Emily. Eventually the two had to pull away to catch their breaths; as soon as they looked at each other huge smiles grew on their faces, they knew that this was going to be something amazing.
The blonde and brunette decided to walk to the restaurant since it wasn't too far away. The whole way there they held hands and were amazed at how perfectly their hands fit together; they truly were like yin and yang in every way.
Emily and Ali were taken to a quiet table at the very back in a small corner at the restaurant; they both liked how private it was. Neither of them had been at the restaurant before since it just opened and seemed to be a big hit in Rosewood; it was strange that it was so quite on a Friday night. Either way the girls didn't mind, it meant that no one could get it the way of their so far perfect date.
The night seemed to go by quickly; for hours, they laughed until their stomachs hurt and talked about everything you could possibly think of. It really was perfect but suddenly they were rudely interrupted.
"Emily?" A familiar voice said. As the blonde and brunette looked up they saw someone who they hadn't in years.
"Paige?" Emily couldn't believe her eyes. She hadn't seen her since they broke up just over three years ago. Emily broke it off because she could no longer lead Paige on; she knew she loved Alison and wouldn't be able to get over her any time soon even if she tried to do so with Paige.
"Hey." Paige said to Emily completely ignoring Alison. Paige had always hated Alison and even though they were now both adults and Ali had changed she still hated her and held a grudge. Plus, she always sensed that Emily broke up with her because of the blonde even if Emily had never admitted it.
"What are you doing here? I thought you left Rosewood." Emily said with a very confused tone.
"I came back and decided to start a business." Paige replied; she was the owner of the restaurant. The brunette and blonde both wondered how they hadn't heard about that since news spreads like wild fire in Rosewood.
"Wow." Paige only smiled. She continued to ignore Alison and it started getting on her nerves.
"Well it's a really great restaurant Paige." The blonde said trying to be as nice as possible. She might have never like Paige either but she had truly changed and wanted to show that. Paige finally turned around and looked at the blonde, she gave her a fake thankful smile and turned back to Emily. Alison's anger began to build; she couldn't believe how childish Paige was being.
"So, what brings you to my restaurant?"
"I'm actually on a date with Alison." The brunette said with a big smile on her face as she looked at the blonde who had the exact same smile on her face. The statement clearly angered Paige.
"Oh, with that bitch?" She said pointing to Alison.
"Hey, don't call her a bitch! She's changed whether you believe that or not." Emily said immediately jumping to Alison's defence.
"You know what Emily? I thought you were better than that." Paige said as she walked away. Emily couldn't believe her; how dare she say such things?
"I'm so sorry about her." Emily said quickly.
"No come on, you shouldn't be sorry about her. She said those things not you." The blonde said as she grabbed the brunette's hand which was lying on the table in reassurance. Emily just gave a slight nod.
"Let's leave." Emily said as she got up and grabbed her jacket. The blonde didn't argue; she didn't want to stay anywhere near Paige any longer either.
The two decided to go for a walk in the nearby park. Hand in hand they walked down the long paths in between the trees. It was truly a beautiful night and it made them forget about what happened in the restaurant. The moon shun brightly down on them and Alison couldn't believe how beautiful the brunette was. Her big browns eyes glistened in the moon as they quickly stole glances at the blonde when she thought she wasn't looking. Alison loved how pure the relationship that they have is. During the whole night, she had been wanting to ask Emily a special question and now felt like the perfect time to do so.
"Em?" Ali said as she suddenly stopped walking.
"Mhm?" Emily asked with a confused expression as she turned to face the blonde.
"I really want to ask you something." She said trying to hold back a smile.
"Okay?"
"Uh- I feel like I'm in high school again-" The blonde said with a slightly nervous giggle.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" She quickly said. A huge smile formed on Emily's face; the blonde could swear she had never seen her smile so brightly before.
"Of course I will." She said as she kissed the blonde. Once again, those butterflies returned to Alison's stomach; she absouelty loved this feeling and she hoped it would never ever stop. Little did she know Emily felt the exact same thing, and felt the exact same way about it. They both wondered why the hell it took them so long to get together but at least they got there eventually and were truly happy.
