Here's another chapter for you. Please review after xoxox
"Morning Ali, How did you sleep?" Emily asked rolling over to see her blonde beauty stretching her tired limbs.
"Like a baby thanks to you" she smiled "But to be fair I always slept well when I shared a bed with you". Emily took the blondes hand giving it a light squeeze.
"You're stronger than you give yourself credit for Ali. You're the strongest person I know." her brown eyes staring into the deep blue of Alison's. "There is something I want to talk to you about though."
"What is it?"
"It's about our future. Remember last night we were talking about where we wanted to be in 5yrs?" Emily said sitting up in bed.
"I remember,"
"Well I was wondering...if you'd like to...start that future now." Emily smiled shyly crawling over Alison to get to her bedside table.
"What are y-"
Finally after a minute or two of scrounging around in the top drawer she sat back placing a small box in front of Alison.
Alison was shocked to say the least, for a moment she stared at the box then to Emily and back again.
"Well...say something,"
"I-I don't-"
"Want to marry me, do you?" Emily said sadly finishing the blonde's sentence, slamming the lid down on the ring box. All hope had drained from Emily in one quick motion. Her body went numb. Alison didn't want to marry her, had she misread the last few weeks they'd had together?
"That's not what I was going to say Em. I just wasn't expecting this...so soon,"
"I want this Ali. I know you do too. Stop pushing me way again! I want us, I want Paris, I want the white picket fence with our four kids. I want to grow old with you and spend the rest of our lives together." she paused looking deep into the blonde's eyes, her voice steady but serious "So I'll ask you again, Alison Lauren Dilaurentis will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Alison kept her gaze locked on Emily's her face like stone not giving anything away. The brunette swallowed hard as she waited for an answer. A million thoughts swirled in her head at once. Before she could say anything else a pair of lips and mess of blonde hair blurred her vision. Alison was kissing her softly with her arms around her neck. "All I have ever wanted was to be happy with you," the blonde smiled widely. At the sudden contact Emily internally cringed as the pressure of Alison's body against hers aggravated the surgical scar but she didn't care. All she cared about was having the blonde so close and in her arms again. Finally breaking apart for much needed air Emily placed the ring on Alison's finger "You're the love of my life,". She said lunging at Alison peppering little kisses to her lips & neck as they fell back on the bed among the sheets.
For a while they lay there blissfully unaware of the time that had passed until Alison's phone buzzed.
"Who's that babe?" Emily smiled teasing Alison's neck with her tongue leaving soft kisses behind.
Alison purred under her mermaids touch "It's Charlotte texting from the Brew asking if she should bring us some breakfast & I quote 'Don't want to walk into you & Em getting sexy between the sheets?'. God she's so embarrassing" Ali laughed.
Emily smiles to herself, she loves that Charlotte approves of their budding and long awaited relationship. "We didn't have sex." she states defensively.
Ali looks at Emily as they still lay huddled together. "I know babe, but she'll swear up & down that we did it & somehow we'll end up confessing with her that we did. So it's just easier to let her think it."
"So...should we tell her the good news?"
Alison placed her phone back on the bedside table admiring the sparkling diamond ring that adorned her left hand.
"How did you even know it would fit me?"
"I had it resized. I knew from our school days what size ring you wear and just hoped that it hadn't changed."
"Have I told you how much I love you? How much I've always loved you?"
"Hmm must have missed that." Emily said sarcastically.
Ali leaned in and brushed her mermaids lips with her own, hovering over her "You're by far the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I never want to forget this moment. With us right now as we are. I need you to know that I've always loved you deep down to my soul. I've always needed you."
At hearing the sincerity in the blondes voice Emily embraced her in a warm hug. "I know babe. I know." she whispered, tears threatening to spill over the blondes shoulder as they continued to hug it out. "So...breakfast? What are you in the mood for?"
"Oh, I'm in the mood...just not for breakfast" Emily said suggestively tugging on her girlfriends waist when she attempted to get out of bed.
Alison blushed, playfully swatting the brunette on the shoulder "Em, we can't stay here all day."
"Please?!" the brunette pouted
Alison rolled her eyes "Tell you what, if you get out of bed now I'll let you join me in the shower,". Immediately Emily jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom. "I'll be there in a minute. I'm just gonna text Charlotte back & let her know that we won't be coming for breakfast,".
"Ok babe,".
I know this is a short chapter but I've run into a brick wall with this story. I do have a few extra ideas to move this story forward but that requires a flash forward at least a few months if not a few years. Would you be ok that? Any ideas from you about characters, settings or storylines you would like to see would be extremely helpful.
