Now, to answer some of your questions, Alison hasn't any agenda or any plan, in last chapter, when I mentioned 'plan', her only plan was to kiss Emily to get rid of Mona, that was all but, what she didn't considerate, it was that she would like it, the kiss. I hope it's clear now.

Let it Be – Part III
*** Alison's narrative***
Has someone taken your breath away with just one kiss? Has someone kiss you and leave you dizzy with that kiss? Have you ever fell in love... really in love...? Life is a funny thing, you make plans, goals... you build your life around those plans, those goals and then... then, the unexpected happens... and you have two options: fight it... or let it be... so, what it will be? What would you do if you were me? Would you fight it? Or would you let it be?
In a coffee shop, there she was... Alison... doing what she has never done before: losing track of time. The blonde has completely zoned out; consumed by her thoughts, by the memory of recent events; Alison just stays there... sitting there, letting her coffee to get cold since the only thing she has in the lips is her fingers, she maps her lips as she recalls the sensation of Emily's kiss, kissing Emily, it brought in her a feeling... something she has never felt before...
Someone sits in her table, calls her name, several times and this person is just able to get Alison's attention when this person play-fully hits Alison's head...
Alison whines. - "Hey?! Why was that for?!"
Spencer. - "I didn't ask you to meet me, just to watch you daydreaming... what it's with you these days? I've never seen you like this?"
Alison blushes and looks down at her coffee. - "I don't know what you are talking about..."
Spencer. - "Fine... keep denying something is going on with you... just don't come looking for my help when the bomb explodes..."
Alison chuckles. - "Oh, come on Spence... you're talking as if I was in some kind of a problem..."
Spencer asks. - "And you're not?"
Alison looks at her coffee, she sighs deeply as she plays with her fingers...
Spencer. - "Ali...?"
Alison. - "Relax, Spence... I'm fine... I just... I'm just adapting myself to NY..."
Spencer. - "You were in the big Apple of France; so, I don't see why you need to adapt... you're used to constantly move out from one big city to another... Berlin, Rio, Paris... and now NY... who knows which will be the next..."
Alison smirks. - "Well, I'm crossing fingers for Tokyo..."
Spencer smirks. - "Really? You just moved in and you're already thinking on moving out again?"
Alison chuckles. - "You know me, Spence... I'm a nomad... I'm a free spirit which can't stop moving..."
Spencer smirks. – "Well, you're not so free now, you're married now..."
Alison blushes, she buries her red face in her coffee and tries to change the subject, but her cousin doesn't let it go.
Spencer. - "Don't try to change the subject ..."
Alison rolls her eyes and starts playing with her napkin; Spencer takes if from her...
Spencer scolds. - "Seriously! How old are you?! 8?! Can't you just give me 5 minutes of your attention?!"
The blonde takes a defensive posture, crossing her arms above her chest; she stares at her cousin with an annoying pout...
Alison huffs. - "Fine... you've 5mn... and I'm counting..."
Spencer. - "Even if you look at me like that... I'll not drop it; Ali, this is going too far! First you marry Emily and now that she's going to be released from the hospital, you asked her to move in, with you?! In your apartment?!"
Alison smirks. - "I didn't ask her..."
The blonde has a huge smirk in her face as she remembers…
*** Flashback ***
(In the hospital)
The blonde was upset, and Emily didn't know why…
Emily gulps hard. – "Did I do something wrong? You look pissed off…"
The blonde doesn't reply, she just takes the magazine she left in the chair and says…
Alison. – "While you were sleeping the doctor came and told me, you'll be released next Friday…"
Emily. – "Oh… okay… thanks for telling me…"
Alison. – "I'll take the day off from work and I will bring you home…"
Emily wildly opens her eyes and she gaps with surprise, not knowing what Alison means…
Emily. – "Uhmmm… wh-…?"
Alison cuts her off and says. – "Just to be clear, when I say 'home', I mean my apartment… Hanna showed me that dump where you live, in hell I will live in a tiny place like that, so, we will be staying in my apartment…"
Emily. – "Huh?! Dump?! But… I…"
Alison. – "I'm not asking you Emily, I'm telling you, you're going to live with me and that's final…"
The brunette doesn't know what to say, she just blushes and stays with the mouth opens…
Alison smirks. – "This is your punishment for what you did to me earlier…"
Emily. – "Huh?! What did I do?!"
Alison doesn't reply, she just smirks and leaves her alone…
*** End of the flashback ***
Alison was just smirking, as she was lost on her thoughts, so, Spencer hits her head again…
Alison whines. – "Spence! What the hell?!"
Spencer. – "You spaced out! Again!"
Alison huffs and rolls her eyes…
Spencer scolds. - "Ali! We've been over this, you told me this was just like a business arrangement, nothing more, so, please, illuminate me and explain me how, she moving in with you, it's a business arrangement?! Why she must move in with you?! She's not homeless..."
Alison says with a possessive voice. - "She's my wife! I might have zero experience in relationships but it's logic for a married couple to live together..."
Spencer. - "Ali… like you said, you're a free spirit... living your life without attachments... and I respect that... being free of commitment it's what has always made you happy... so, please explain me how it's that now, you're so committed with this fake marriage?!"
Alison. - "It's not fake! I've a marriage certificate to prove it!"
Spencer. - "Ali! You know what I mean!"
Alison rolls her eyes and huffs...
Spencer. - "Ali... I'll not let you to play house with Emily... she's not a toy... she's a person with feelings and..."
Alison. - "And I know she's not a toy! And I've zero interest in playing with Em's feelings, I care about her... really..."
Spencer sighs and frowns her eye brows since Alison was being serious; the last thing, Alison wanted to do, it was to hurt Emily...
Alison. - "I don't know if you remember but I've that sneaky short brunette of the insurance's company; breathing in my neck! Appearing everywhere without warning..." (She turns around and says) "Really, I would not be surprised if she's here, spying at us..."
Spencer. - "Ali... don't be dramatic..."
Alison. - "Look, I don't want to have legal problems with the insurance and I'm sure Em, neither... so, to dispel any doubt; we need to act like a real couple..."
Spencer. - "Ali!"
Alison doesn't want to keep arguing with Spencer, so she does what she always does… run away…
Spencer. – "Where are you going?! We're not done!"
Alison. - "Sorry, I've to go, nice talk!"
The blonde leaves and Spencer just huffs…
(In the hospital)
Emily has been trying to remember what she did to Alison, the last time she saw the blonde, she left with an angry pout and Emily wants to know why, she has been forcing herself to remember and then, it hit her… she recalls it… everything that happened when she was under the influence of the medication…
*** Flashback ***
Alison was reading a magazine, sitting beside Emily's bed as the nurse was checking the brunette…
Nurse. – "Everything is fine, I believe you'll be able to leave the hospital very soon…"
Emily. – "Really?"
Alison smiles. – "Well, that's great news!"
Nurse. – "Ok, I'm done here, I gave you some pain killers for your abdominal pain, so, if you feel dizzy, not being yourself, it's normal…"
Emily nods. – "Ok, thank you…"
The nurse leaves the room and both girls, they stay alone; Alison closes the magazine and leaves it in the chair as she sits in Emily's bed; she brushes the messy hair of Emily and puts it behind her ear; the brunette just stares at her, at the motion of Alison brushing her hair and she can't help it, she just blushes, red as a tomato and smiles, she smiles as she has never done it before…
Alison says as she keeps caressing Emily's face. – "How are you feeling? Any pain?"
Emily smiles and says with a goofy smile. – "Nop… nop pain… everything is great! Just great! Great, great, great…"
The blonde notices the 'happy' voice of the brunette, the giggling, the goofy smile and she says as she raises an eye-brow…
Alison smirks. – "It looks like the pain killers finally kicked in…"
Emily nods with a smile. – "Hmmm…"
The blonde chuckles; she's amused of how the shy Emily changes when she's under the effect of the pain killers; without any inhibition…
Alison says as she tries to leave. – "Well, enjoy the ride… I should leave then…"
The brunette grabs Alison's arm, stopping her…
Emily. – "You can't leave…"
Alison. – "Oh, really, and why not?"
Emily presses her lips together, not knowing what to say. She stares at the blonde with deer eyes and Alison smiles and then an idea gets inside Emily's mind as she stares at Alison's lips…
Emily says as she points out towards the door. – "Look, the insurance's lady is coming!"
Alison. – "What?!"
The blonde tries to turn her head and see if Emily was right and Mona was there but, she can't since Emily pulls Alison against her from the arm for a kiss. Alison leans her body over Emily and she just gasps of surprise and blushes as she notices how Emily just wraps her arms around her and kisses her deeply in the lips. It took her by surprise and she wasn't sure of what to do but when Emily's tongue started exploring her mouth, Alison couldn't help it, and she just succumbed to the temptation of kissing Emily. Alison puts one hand in Emily's neck for support and her other hand was gripping the sheets harder and harder as the kiss became heater…
Emily was desperate to taste again those soft lips, she was desperate to taste the sweet mouth of Alison. The brunette kisses the blonde like she has never kiss anyone else in her life. A lusty rush of adrenaline runs in Emily's veins and as her mouth is devouring Alison's mouth, her hands starts roaming Alison's back till her butt. The blonde wildly opens her eyes when she feels the squeeze; she feels a tingling between her legs as Emily keeps massaging and squeezing her butt; Alison moans in Emily's mouth and the brunette groans, feeling so aroused…
Alison asks without breaking the kiss. – "Is she still there?"
Emily. – "Huh?"
The blonde turns around a little and she notices there was no one. Alison pulls back, she gets off the bed and the brunette pouts with a sad pout…
Alison. – "There's no one there, Emily…"
Emily giggles, she just blushes and pouts with a guilty look in her eyes; Alison wanted to scold the girl, but she just shakes her head and laughs as she can't believe she fell for it…
Alison. – "I can't believe, you tricked me… for a second I really believed Mona was there…"
Emily doesn't reply; she just giggles and blushes as she licks her lips and stares at her hands…
Emily giggles. – "You've a really nice butt… very big and soft…"
Alison blushes, she knows Emily is like this because of the pain killers but even then, no one tricks Alison DiLaurentis. Alison play-fully hits Emily's arm and the brunette pouts with pain as she rubs her arm…
Emily pouts. – "Hey! It hurt!"
Alison squints her eyes. – "Well, good… that's for tricking me… don't do it again…"
Emily teases. – "What I can't do again? Trick you or kiss you?"
Alison blushes; she avoids eye-contact, not able to reply; she tries to leave again but Emily stops her, grabbing her from the arm.
Emily. – "Don't go… the insurance's lady is there… we need to kiss…"
Alison smirks. – "Oh, no… I'm not falling for that ever again…"
The blonde tries to get her arm back, but Emily doesn't let her go…
Emily. – "Ali… wait, wait…"
The brunette pulls Alison against her and once again, Alison lies down in the bed with her; the blonde blushes as the brunette wraps one arm around her and the other hand was brushing her golden hair from her face, just to get a clear view…
Emily says as she keeps brushing Alison's hair and staring at her into the eyes. – "I've been thinking, and I think I figured it out why…."
Alison blushes. – "Why what?"
Emily. – "Why I can't stop doing this…"
The brunette tries to kiss her again, but Alison avoids the kiss, she pulls back and sits in the bed…
Alison. – "Those pain killers really kicked in… I should really leave…"
The blonde tries to leave but Emily holds her hand and stops her…
Alison. – "Emily…"
Emily. – "You're my wife… my wife… MY WIFE! And I'm your wife! Let's do it! Let's be together!"
Alison blushes. – "Huh?!"
Emily. – "I mean… look at you… look at your eyes… I mean… I could look into your eyes my whole life…"
The brunette grins as she says those words and Alison just smiles and blushes; no one has ever made her blush like that. Alison looks downs, she waves a foot back and forth, she was going to say something but when she looks up; Emily was already snoring, sleeping…
Some hours, later; Emily wakes up, she rubs her head as she was having a huge hangover; she turns around and gulps hard as she notices the serious look of the blonde who's standing beside her…
Emily. – "Ahmmm… mmm…"
Alison. – "Do you remember what you did, what you said before falling asleep?"
Emily tries to remember, but the last thing she remembers it's the nurse leaving the room after giving her some pain killers. The brunette shakes her head, admitting she doesn't remember anything and Emily gulps hard as she notices Alison doesn't look happy at all…
Alison says with a sarcastic. – "Oh, you really are something…. My dear wife…"
Emily gulps hard. – "Did I do something wrong? You look pissed off…"
The blonde doesn't reply, she just takes the magazine she left in the chair and says…
Alison. – "While you were sleeping the doctor came and told me, you'll be released next Friday…"
Emily. – "Oh… okay… thanks for telling me…"
Alison. – "I'll take the day off from work and I will bring you home…"
Emily wildly opens her eyes and she gaps by surprise, not knowing what Alison means…
Emily. – "Uhmmm… wh-…?"
Alison cuts her off and says. – "Just to be clear, when I say 'home', I mean my apartment… Hanna showed me that dump where you live, in hell I will live in a tiny place like that, so, we will be staying in my apartment…"
Emily. – "Huh?! Dump?! But… I…"
Alison. – "I'm not asking you Emily, I'm telling you, you're going to live with me and that's final…"
The brunette doesn't know what to say, she just blushes and stays with the mouth opens…
Alison smirks. – "This is your punishment for what you did to me earlier…"
Emily. – "Huh?! What did I do?!"
Alison doesn't reply, she just smirks and leaves her alone…
*** End of the flashback ***
Emily buries her face into her hands, she was rolling in bed, blushing a lot as she recalls what happened…
Emily. – "OMG! No… what did I do?! How could I…. God… How I'll be able to look at her into the eyes, now…"
Before she could answer herself that question, someone emerges inside her room…
Alison. – "Hi, Em…"
Emily jumps in her bed, she blushes a lot and she looks down as she says with shame…
Emily. – "I… I'm sorry…"
Alison. – "Why you're apologizing?"
Emily babbles. – "Well… for… you know… I… uhmm…"
Between all the babbling, Alison figures out Emily just remembered what happened when she was under the effects of the pain killers…
Alison. – "Don't worry, I'm not angry, you were just hopped up on pain killers…"
Emily blushes, she knows she was with her inhibitions down because of the medication but even then, she couldn't stop feeling guilty for her behavior…
Alison asks. – "Did you meant what you said?"
Emily. – "Huh?"
Alison shakes her head. – "Never mind… you know what, I forgot I've this thing in the office and I should go…"
The blonde just came in and she was ready to leave but Emily stops her; she grabs Alison's arm and doesn't let her go. They stare at each other into the eyes and they blush as their eyes meet…
Alison. – "Emily… what are you doing? Are you hopped up again on pain killers?"
Emily. – "No… I'm… not under drugs… I… I…" (She takes a deep breath and says) "I meant it…"
Alison blushes. – "Huh?"
Emily. – "What I said about your eyes… it wasn't just the pain killers talking…"
Alison blushes, she avoids eye-contact and says as she tries to release her arm from Emily…
Alison. – "Emily, you need to stop talking to me about my eyes and kiss me whenever you want…"
Emily sighs. – "Yeah… you're right… I'm sorry…"
The brunette tries to let her go but her hands doesn't move, it was like her hand was glued to Alison and then, she gets what her body was trying to say to her…
Emily. – "You know what… No! I'm not sorry… I meant what I said… all of it… if not more…."
Alison chuckles, she looks down and says. – "I get it… it's a great story… we get married to save your life and then we fall in love… I mean, how romantic is that? Not to mention that you're smart and funny… and beautiful… and I'll be lying if I say, it never crossed my mind…"
Emily smiles
Alison gets free of Emily's grip and says, looking at her into the eyes. – "But, Emily… you don't know me… I'm incapable of loving someone, I'm too selfish… so, this… us… it's not real… this is just a good story…"
Emily notices something in Alison's eyes… a little of pain in her eyes and she doesn't know why but she knows what she feels for the blonde is real… the most real thing she has ever feel in her life…
Emily. – "And what's wrong with a good story…?"
Alison. – "Emily…"
Emily pulls Alison towards her, she kisses her in the lips; Alison tries to fight it but eventually, she gives up and kisses her back…
*** Alison's narrative ***
Like I told you, you plan your life and life surprises you... it always surprises you... so what do you do with it? Well... that's up to you... me, for example... I decided to let it be because you know what? Maybe be... just maybe... it was meant to be...
