Hi again, wow thank you so much for your beautiful words; it makes me very happy knowing that you like my work ^^.
Now, this is a one shot, inspired by two things: the video of 'Elise & Natasha - 2017 Really Weird Pick up Lines' (I just love these two! 😊) and the song 'Surrender' by Natalie Taylor.
For the context: The girls don't know each other, it has nothing to do with PLL story line.
So, it's a long one shot, hope you like it and like always, thank you if you have the time to leave a review!
Whenever you're ready
Dear Cupid,
Where the hell are you?! Have you forgot I exist? Don't you remember I'm still here, waiting... waiting for love...?
Don't be cruel with this fragile heart, don't forget I'm still here without love...
Life has been cruel enough with me and you, leaving me into the oblivion, it's just the cherry on the top...
You might think I don't deserve it... LOVE... but even if that's true, have mercy of this lonely soul and, just show me the way to the owner of my heart...
Immerged in her own world, Alison spends her free time, writing to Cupid, writing to Love; just the bell of the school, announcing the end of lunch break, gets her back to reality. With a sad sigh, Alison closes her diary and gets ready to welcome her students of the next period...
A student. - "Hi! Miss. D!"
Alison. - "Hello Daniel..."
Daniel. - "You look sad again Miss. D..." (He gives her an apple) "Here... for you... cheer up!"
Alison chuckles with sadness, she can't believe Daniel's gesture has been the best thing of her week. The blonde takes the apple and the lesson starts.
Another year... another month… another day without love... Alison walks through the hallways of the school and a sad bitter nostalgic feeling hits her heart when she sees, by the corner of her eyes, the new version of her; seeing the actual Queen Bee of High school surrounded with friends, it brings old memories to her mind. She remembers her glorious days when she governed the school, she remembers how she was always with people at her side... yeah she remembers those days and Alison takes her phone, feeling the impulse to reach the girls whom, she called once her friends, her more loyal followers but, her fingers freeze, a moment of hesitation, a paralyzing fear of rejection and the blonde puts down her phone and once again, she decides to leave the past in the past and, just keep walking alone...
Time keeps running and in a wink of an eye, it was already December's holydays. Alison and all the teachers gasp with surprise, looking at the euphoric teenagers, running in the hallways...
Alison scolds. - "Daniel! No running in the hallways!"
Daniel screams as he keeps running towards the entrance of the school...
Daniel smiles. - "Sorry Miss. D! No can't do!" (He yells like Tarzan) "I'm Free!"
Alison chuckles and shakes her head in disbelief. - "Double negative... I'm really so bad teacher?!"
All the euphoria brought a little of energy in Alison's heart. And for the 1st time in a long time, Alison decides to prepare something nice for dinner. In the supermarket, the blonde was in the wine section when she saw a familiar face, holding a bottle...
Alison scolds. - "Daniel, you can't drink! You're under age!"
The boy was going to defend himself but someone else stepped up at his rescue...
A brunette says as she runs towards them. - "Wait! It's not what it looks like... it's for me..." (She stands beside Daniel and stretches her hand towards the blonde teacher) "Hi, I'm Emily..."
Alison looks at the brunette, up and down with a serious disapproval look and Emily just raises an eyebrow, feeling the piercing look of the blonde...
Daniel whispers to Emily. - "I know that look... you're so screwed..."
Emily looks at the boy with an interrogation look, and then her eyes turns in direction of the blonde when Alison starts talking...
Alison scolds. - "Really?! Asking a teenager to buy you alcohol?! Shame on you..."
Emily raises an eye brow. - "What?!"
Daniel nods. - "Yeah... shame on you..."
Emily looks at the young boy and says to him. – "What?!"
Alison says to the boy. – "Daniel, you shouldn't date older women, I know that you might find it appealing, but…" (She points out towards Emily and says) "Really, her? She obviously is bad influence for you…"
Emily feels offended and gasps with shock…
Daniel nods. – "Yeah, you're right, she's really a bad influence…"
Emily play-fully hit Daniel's head and says to him. - "Shut up!"
Daniel whines. – "Augh… it hurt…"
Emily. - "Ok, this is a complete misunderstanding, I just asked my nephew to get the wine since I was picking the rest of my mom's list... really, I'm her Aunt, NOT her girlfriend…" (She says with a cocky tone) "He would like to get a girl like me but girls like me are so out of his league…"
Daniel says with sarcasm. – "Yeah... right… my dream girl is a party girl, unemployed who just drinks all day…"
Emily squints her eyes towards her nephew and Daniel just smirks. The blonde stares at them, Alison is not sure to believe Emily's words, she knows very well Pam and Daniel Fields, they're neighbor after all and, she finds hard to believe Emily's argument as she has never seen the brunette before. The blonde is still doubting and her student notices it…
Daniel. - "It's true Miss. D..." (He waves his finger between Emily and him and smirks) "Don't you see the resemblance? Well, I'm more handsome and attractive but..."
Once again, Emily play-fully hits his head and says. – "Just shut up!"
Alison gazes at Emily with a disapproval looks... what did I do now?! Emily asks herself that question as she looks at Alison's gaze; the blonde softly caresses Daniel's head with tenderness and says...
Alison. - "Ok... let's say you two are related... that you're his aunt... but even then, you've no right on hitting his head like that..."
Daniel plays the victim, making deer eyes to the blonde, the blonde has a soft spot for deer eyes and, he gets a big hug from Alison and even a kiss in his head. Emily stares at them and she just hiss and rolls her eyes... With this 1st encounter, Emily wasn't fascinated with Daniel's favorite teacher, the blonde was too stiff and judgy for Emily's taste, but that bad 1st impression was going to change very soon...
After getting the supplies for dinner, on the bus stop, Emily and the boy were holding the bags with food, waiting for the bus when it starts to snow...
Daniel pouts. - "I'm cold..."
Emily sighs. - "I know... me too but hopefully, we will not wait too long in the cold..."
The brunette looks at the boy, freezing, she puts down her bags and takes off her jacket. Daniel smiles at his favorite aunt when Emily puts her jacket over him. It was getting colder, there was no sight of the bus and, Emily was thinking on walking home, but her nephew stops her when a car, parks in front of them…
Alison opens her door and says. - "Get in..."
Emily shakes her head. - "Thank you but..."
Before the brunette could decline Alison's offer, Daniel was already inside the car.
Daniel says, smiling from the back seat. - "Come on Aunt Emy! Get in!"
Emily sighs with resignation and sits in the co-pilot seat. Once everyone is inside, Alison sees Emily's body still shaking for the cold and she increases the heater of the car; Emily smiles, enjoying the warmth. The drive home was very quietly, Emily hardly said a word but, she did notice how kind Alison was towards Daniel…
Daniel says with enthusiasm. – "You should have seen her, Aunt Emy! It was amazing how Miss D stood up for me in front of the Principal! So, bad ass!"
Alison chuckles. – "It wasn't a big deal…"
Daniel says with a warm smile. – "It was for me… besides grandma, no one had ever done that for me before…"
Emily gulps hard, she knows the feeling… the feeling of fighting this nasty world alone… Emily looks at the blonde who's driving and asks…
Emily. – "Why did you do it? You could have lost your job?"
Alison looks at her by the corner of her eyes and then, through the rearview mirror, she smiles as she sees the big smile on Daniel's face…
Alison. – "He didn't do it, the prank, he didn't ruin the Principal's car, I know my students very well to know what they're capable or not to do… just because the Queen Bee of the school pointed out her finger towards him, all the school labelled him as guilty… that wasn't fair… it wasn't right… so, yeah, I yelled to the Principal, I went all 'killer mode' with him and I didn't stop till justice was done…"
Emily smiles, she can tell that the blonde cares a lot for her students and she can't stop asking herself, that maybe, if she had had a teacher like Alison, maybe, she wouldn't be such a screw-up. They keep talking, mostly about Daniel's school. Emily is surprised with everything she hears; the last time she saw Daniel, it was when her sister Maya passed away, four years ago… Emily thought that Maya's Death would screw up Daniel's life, just like Wayne's Death affected Emily's life, but, she was happily surprised to find out that the boy has accomplished a lot of things, all by himself even without his mom…
Inside the building, Daniel runs over the stairs and both girls, just scold him at the unison, they look at each other and chuckle with blush. They climb the stairs, side by side, each one holding their bag of foods and Emily feels nervous for the 1st time in her life… the blonde is making her feel nervous and Emily doesn't know why…
Alison asks. – "So, I guess you came to spend Xmas with them…?"
Emily. – "Huh? Oh, yeah… yeah…" (Sad chuckle) "Well that and I'm broke, California didn't work for me so, I'm here… trying to decide what to do next…"
Alison. – "Oh…"
There was an awkward silence till the brunette decides to talk…
Emily mumbles. – "Thank you…"
Alison. – "For the ride? It's nothing…"
Emily shakes her head. – "No, no for the ride… well, yes, thank you for the ride home but… I… I…"
Alison sees Emily, struggling with her words and the blonde chuckles…
Alison chuckles. – "Now, I see the resemblance…"
Emily. – "Huh?!"
Alison chuckles and shakes her head. – "Nothing… it's just that Daniel has that same problem, when he's nervous, he can't find his words, it's hard to make him talk in front of the class and that's a shame since he's really smart…"
Emily smiles. – "He's?!"
Alison nods. – "Yeah… he has great potential, I'm sure he will get into any college without a problem…"
Emily gulps. – "College is very expensive… you shouldn't put his hopes too high, we may not be able to make them real…"
Alison sees the sad look of Emily and she squeezes her hand, and Emily turns in her direction, she smiles as she gets entranced on those beautiful blue eyes…
Alison. – "Hey, don't worry about it, we're working hard to get him a full scholarship and I promise, I will do everything I can to help him in his studies…"
The brunette smiles and blushes; she blushes more when she sees the warm smile of the blonde and for the 1st time in her life, she gets speechless... Emily has always been a smooth talker, especially with girls, but with Alison… she couldn't just find her words…
They arrive to the 3rd floor and the blonde stands in front of her door, putting the keys on the lock and Emily feels the impulse to don't let her go inside the apartment, no without telling her what she wanted to say…
Emily. – "Wait!"
Alison stops her motions, she turns in direction of the brunette and raises an eyebrow as she stands, face to face, with the mute brunette. Alison is looking at her and Emily chuckles nervously since she can't find her voice again. The brunette starts rambling nonsense, and Alison chuckles…
Alison chuckles. – "You're cute…"
Emily blushes. – "Huh?!"
Alison turns towards her door and says as she opens her door. – "Well, I'm just at one door from you, so, if you need anything, just knock, ok… good night…"
The blonde was getting inside her apartment, Emily's jaw shakes open as she wants to say something to stop her but, she finds no words… thankfully, someone gets to her rescue…
Daniel. – "Miss D, why don't you have dinner with us?"
Emily nods smiling and gets something out of her bag. – "Yeah! I have wine…"
Alison sighs, she would love the company but, like always, she's hesitating…
Daniel pleads. – "Please Miss D! Help me with the dinner! Aunt Emy doesn't cook and grandma is working double shift tonight!"
Emily. – "Hey! I cook!"
Daniel smirks. – "Yeah… using the micro-wave is not cooking…"
Emily rolls her eyes and the blonde chuckles. In the end, Alison cooked everything, Daniel got distracted with the tv and Emily, well, the brunette wasn't really any help in the kitchen…
Emily says as she puts a band-aid in her fingers. – "Sorry… I wasn't helpful at all, isn't?"
Alison smirks as she settles the table. – "Well, you were helpful when you stopped trying to cook…"
Emily. – "Ha-ha-ha… very funny…" (She touches her open cut and whines with pain) "Auch…"
Alison finishes putting the table ready, she looks at the brunette, sitting in the kitchen table, trying to bandage her injured fingers.
Alison. – "Let me help you…"
The blonde sits, beside Emily, Alison takes the 1st aid kit and starts taking care of Emily injuries. The brunette stares at her, she sees how the blonde takes care of her and she can't stop looking at her…
Alison. – "Ok… it's done…"
Emily mumbles. – "Thank you…"
Alison. – "It's nothing… besides I'm half responsible for putting you in charge of cutting the vegetables…" (She chuckles) "Daniel wasn't joking, you really don't cook…"
Emily nods. – "Yeah… I don't… but you're a great chef…" (She bites her internal cheek as she says) "Your husband is a lucky guy…"
Alison. – "Husband? Oh no… I'm not married…"
Emily smiles. – "Really? Uhmmm… boyfriend then?"
Alison shakes her head. – "Nop…"
Emily's smile gets bigger, she feels so damn happy, she doesn't know why, but knowing that the blonde is single, it makes her really, really happy…
Alison. – "Why you just mentioned 'men'?"
Emily. – "What do you mean?"
Alison. – "Well, you just asked me if I had a husband or a boyfriend… why you didn't ask if I had a girlfriend?"
Emily's eyes get bigger of shock…
Emily. – "Girlfriend?! You mean… you like… you like…."
Alison. – "I like girls?" (She nods) "Yeah…" (She takes a defensive posture) "I like girls, you've a problem with that?"
Emily shakes her head and blush. – "No… I… I… I also like girls…"
Alison was going to say something but someone who emerged inside the kitchen cuts her off…
Daniel smirks. – "Yeah, she's so into girls, a great player, Mom said that Aunt Emy was known as the 'womanizer of Rosewood'…"
Emily scolds. – "Daniel! Go and wash your hands! Dinner is ready!
The boy leaves them alone when he hears Pam arriving. Emily looks downs; the brunette is just capable to look at the blonde when Alison touches her hand…
Alison asks. – "Are you really a womanizer?"
Emily presses her lips together, she has always been proud of her reputation but for some reason, in front of Alison, she feels ashamed. The brunette can't deny who she's, Emily nods and tries to avoid eye-contact but, when she sees the big smile of the blonde, she can't turn her look in another direction…
Emily asks. – "Why you're smiling like that?"
Alison. – "I want to ask you something… but I don't want Daniel or your mom to hear us… could you come later to my apartment…?"
Emily blushes, she can't speak, she just nods with a big smile. Since that moment, Emily wasn't on earth, she was walking on air. Her mom arrived, they had dinner, she remembers talking, about superficial thinks, and then, she remembers standing in front of Alison's door, looking very nervous, not daring to knock the door. Emily was holding the bottle of wine, the brunette sniffs her t-shirt and she freezes when the blonde opens the door and catches her in the act…
Alison chuckles. – "Are you sniffing your clothes?"
Emily blushes and denies it with a pout. Alison just laughs since Emily was a terrible liar. The blonde invites her in and with nervous steps, Emily gets in; they open the wine and sits in Alison's sofa…
Emily mumbles with a smile as she looks around. – "It's lovely…"
Alison says with a shy voice – "Thanks…"
They sit in the sofa and Emily's heart can't stop beating fast; Alison was making her feel so nervous, so anxious and Emily chuckles at herself, because after all, she's a player, a womanizer, and she can't recall when was the last time she felt like this…
Emily bites her lips and says with a cocky voice. – "So… you invited me into your house… for…?"
The brunette was already imagining what could be her next move, her eyes roams the hot body of the teacher and Emily was completely turned on till Alison starts talking…
Alison. – "This might sound weird but… since it's obvious you have skills to get your way with girls… mmm… could you… could you give me some good tips to flirt? I'm very shy and I… I… I really want to get better in the dating part…"
Alison words' felt like a cold bucket of water; Emily looks down, she chuckles and tries to don't overthink on how crushed she feels. Emily covers her eyes with her hand and keeps chuckling with sadness, Alison finds it weird and asks…
Alison. – "Everything ok?"
Emily rubs her eyes and nods. – "Yeah… it's just…. I wasn't expecting this…"
Alison raises an eye brow. – "What were you expecting then?"
The blonde really didn't have a clue of Emily's expectations and the brunette decides to drop it, and leave it like that…
Emily. – "Never mind… so… lets start with the basics… show me what you've…"
Alison. – "What do you mean?"
Emily. – "Everything is about the 1st impression… mmm… you've to know how to do the 1st move and you've just one shot to impress the girl… so… show me… tell me your pick-up lines…"
Alison blushes, she buries her face in her glass of wine and Emily takes it away from her…
Emily – "Come on… do you want my help or not…?!"
Alison plays with her fingers, she doesn't look at the brunette into the eyes till she sees Emily standing up from the sofa…
Emily – "Look, I don't have time for this… call me when you're ready to practice your pickup lines…"
Alison grabs Emily's arm and forces her to sit on the sofa…
Emily smirks – "Uhmm… strong… that's good… what else do you've?"
Alison blushes and she looks at her blouse…
Emily sighs – "Look, if you will say nothing, then I'll leave…"
Alison – "Before you go… I just want to ask… can you just feel this for a second…?"
The brunette touches the fabric of Alison's blouse, with their eyes on the blouse, Alison says as they keep touching it…
Alison – "Do you know what is made of?"
Emily. – "I don't know… cotton?"
Alison smirks. – "No, it's not cotton…"
Emily looks at her into the eyes and the blonde says…
Alison smiles. – "It's girlfriend material…"
Emily blushes and chuckles with Alison's pickup line…
Emily chuckles. – "Wow…that… that caught me off guard, I…" (She says with a seductive voice) "I can't even see straight anymore when I look at you…"
Alison smiles. – "I know… smoothie, right?"
Emily pouts and Alison notices, it…
Alison. – "What?"
Emily. – "I just threw you a pickup line and you didn't get it…"
Alison thinks about it and blushes. – "Oh, that was one of yours…?"
Emily chuckles. – "You need to get your head into the game and don't get so wrapped up into your own world if you don't want to miss the reply of the other girl…"
Alison smirks. – "Well, it's not my fault that your pickup line was so bad…"
Emily gasps. – "Bad?! Excuse me! But I'm not the one asking for help to get girls into my bed!" (She huffs and rolls her eyes) "Bad, my ass…"
Alison chuckles, she sees how badly she hit Emily's ego, the brunette was drinking her wine and Alison playfully leans over Emily's arm and says…
Alison. – "Oh Emily… on a scale of one to ten… you're nine…"
Emily. – "A nine?! I'm more than a nine I…."
Alison cuts her off, putting her index finger against Emily's lips, sealing them; Emily just gulps hard and stares at the blonde without winkling…
Alison smirks. – "You're a nine Emily but I'm the one you need…"
The brunette blushes a lot, her heart beats faster and faster; noticing the blush in Emily's face, Alison' smirk gets bigger…
Alison smirks. – "So, my pickup lines really work… look, you're blushing!"
Emily blushes a lot and that night, she keeps blushing as she keeps practicing pickup lines with the blonde.
The next night, Emily was zapping the channels without really carrying on what was on tv; she sighs heavy as she sees the clock; the brunette was bored but mostly anxious. Last night, she helped Alison to discover Tinder; Emily was so shocking, she couldn't believe that the teacher didn't know about Tinder; Emily insisted in download the app in Alison's phone, but the moment Alison's phone started ringing, the moment Alison started receiving so many likes and invitations to get out, that same moment, Emily regretted her big mouth and introducing the apps to the blonde. Emily had zoned out, but someone brings her back to reality…
Daniel pouts. – "Aunt Emy… I don't feel fineDDD…"
Emily. – "If you say 'fine' with a 'd' at the end, you definitely don't feel fine… come here…" (She sighs as she touches his front-head) "You've fever…"
Daniel sneezes in Emily's favorite t-shirt…
Emily sighs. – "Yeah… you've the flu…, go to your bed and I'll bring you something…"
The boy follows Emily's instructions but, now, Emily has no clue of what to do. Then, she types in her phone, sending a SOS to the only person she knows in town. Some moments later, someone knocks the door and a big smile appears in Emily's face when she sees Alison, looking smocking hot in a beautiful dress…
Emily blushes. – "Damn, look at you…"
Alison. – "What?"
Emily bites her lips. – "You look amazing, you were in a date, don't you? I'm sorry I shouldn't…"
Alison walks in and says. – "Hey, don't worry… where's he?"
The blonde takes control of the situation, she goes to the pharmacy and when Daniel's fever goes down, they leave him alone to rest.
Emily presses her lips together and feels guilty. – "I'm really sorry, I… shouldn't…. you were in a date and I…"
Alison. – "It's ok… actually you saved me from the longest date with the most tedious girl I've ever known…" (She looks for something in her bag and says) "The only good thing that came out of that date was the dessert… do you wanna try it?"
Emily bites her lips. – "I shouldn't… it's your dessert…"
Alison says as she walks towards the kitchen. – "So, let's share it…" (She sits in the kitchen table with two spoons and opens the box) "I've two spoons and a big piece of chocolate cake... what do you say?"
Emily chuckles. – "Well… who says no to a chocolate cake…"
They start eating the cake, and Emily can't stop looking at the blonde; Alison feels the gaze and she asks…
Alison. – "Did I get chocolate in my face?"
Emily blushes and shakes her head, she looks down and tries to focus just in the cake, but she can't…
Emily. – "Uhmmm… this cake is great…."
Alison nods as she takes another spoon…
Emily bites her lips and tries to sound casual when she says. – "So… tell me about this date…"
Alison. – "Well… her name was Helga…"
Emily. – "Uff… ok, so, strike one…"
Alison chuckles and they keep talking about how Alison's bad date and before knowing, they spend all night just talking. Time continues, and they were getting closer and closer…
Emily says over the phone. – "Really?! She made you pay for her parking ticket?!"
The brunette opens her door and she chuckles as she sees the blonde who's standing in front of her, looking gorgeous as usual, but looking exhausted and annoyed…
Alison nods as she hung up. – "Yeap… can you believe it?!" (She shows a box of food and says) "You gotta try this pasta, it's to die for…"
Emily smiles and welcomes her in. – "I'm in…"
One again, they sit together, eating the food leftovers and talking about how bad was Alison's date…
Alison. – "Did I tell you she fart during dinner?"
Emily smirks. – "Well, she was definitely a catch…"
Alison chuckles and shakes her head. – "I'm quitting in this Tinder thing…"
Emily smirks. – "Come on, you need to see the good side of this…"
Alison. – "What good side?!"
Emily says as she eats the pasta. – "Well, you're helping me in saving money since I don't have to buy dinner… God! This pasta is fucking good!"
Alison chuckles. – "Well, don't get used to, the next one will be my last date of Tinder, I swear!"
Emily teases. – "Then you better choose the best restaurant in the city, I'll be waiting for a huge luxurious dessert…"
Alison smirks. – "Yeah… well, we will see…" (She pouts) "You know, one day, you should be the one inviting me dinner… why it's always me the one bringing you food?!"
Emily chuckles and she gets an idea with Alison's sentence. The next night; with the help of her mom, the brunette prepares a nice dinner for two. In the kitchen table, their favorite spot during the last few nights, Emily settle the table with candles; the brunette smiles as she looks at the clock, the blonde is like a Swiss watch, always at the same hour, knocking the door and that night, it wasn't the exception…
Before opening the door, Emily looks at herself and she feels confident with the dress she picked up to wear; looking good in a black dress, Emily opens the door of what she thought it would be the best night of her life but her happy smile… her hopes and expectations, they just drop over the balcony when she sees the glowing in Alison's face…
Emily gulps. – "Ahmmm… you… you look happy… did… did the date end well?"
Alison giggles. – "Actually, it's still ongoing…"
Emily. – "Huh?!"
Alison blushes and she plays with her hair, Emily feels so crushed as she stares at the blonde teacher, acting like a teenager who has been just asked to go to prom…
Alison. – "So, her name is Spencer, she's a lawyer, so smart, funny, with perfect manners… I mean... she's just so damn perfect!"
Emily gulps hard, she looks down, hearing how wonderful this Spencer is, and, hearing Alison so happy, it's like stabbing her heart over and over; in comparison with Spencer, Emily has nothing to offer, she didn't finish school, she's without a job, she's not a good catch… she knows that, and maybe Alison knows it too, maybe that's the reason she doesn't see Emily like a possibility and that just makes Emily more sad…
Alison sees a tear in Emily's face and says with concern. – "Hey, are you ok?!"
Emily nods, she clears her tear and says. – "Yeah… I just… I was watching a sad movie… so…."
Alison. – "Oh… by your clothes, I thought you were going to go out…"
Emily looks at her dress and chuckles with sadness. – "I… I was hoping to have dinner with this amazing girl but…" (Sad sigh) "But, that was just a dream… she would never choose to be with a loser like me…"
Alison rubs Emily's arm and says. – "Hey! Don't say that! You're not a loser"
Emily mocks. – "Yeah right…"
Alison cups Emily's cheeks with her hands and says as she looks at her into the eyes. – "Look at me Emily…"
Their eyes meet, and Emily is entranced on those beautiful blue eyes…
Alison. – "You're not a loser, ok…"
Emily smiles and nods, the brunette pulls away, she can't feel the blonde close to her or she will definitely start crying…
Emily. – "So, if your date is still ongoing… what are you doing here?"
Alison. – "Oh, yeah… well, you asked for a luxurious dessert so, I asked Spencer to drive me here before going to her place, I wanted to…"
Emily says as she takes the box of food. – "To bring me the dessert… yeah… I got it…"
There was an awkward silence between them, Emily keeping her look down, gripping on the little box that Alison brought for her; the blonde asks one more time if Emily is ok and the brunette just nods without looking at her into the eyes. Alison feels something off in the brunette, but Emily insist she should leave and don't make her date wait any longer. Alison walks away, and Emily burst in tears when she closes the door; sobbing and with a broken heart, Emily walks to the kitchen and someone watches it…
Alison gets inside the car of her date, with a serious look since, it doesn't feel right to leave Emily like this… the brunette looked sad, upset and Alison can't stop asking herself why…
Spencer. – "Are you ok…? Did something go wrong with your friend?"
Alison looks at her and she was going to reply when someone calls her name…
Daniel says as he knocks the window of the car. – "Miss D! Wait!"
*** Alison's diary ***
Dear Cupid,
Where the hell are you?! Have you forgot I exist? Don't you remember I'm still waiting to be touched by one of your arrows? Don't you see that I'm still waiting... waiting for love...?
Don't be cruel with this fragile heart, don't forget I'm still here without love... whenever you're ready, just show me the way to the owner of my heart…
Sitting in the kitchen table, leaning her face against the table, Emily cries without stop, the brunette remembers why she liked to be a player, why it's easier to just have fun without feelings and deciding to don't ever, ever expose her heart like that, ever again, Emily sobs for one last time and looks up, she looks up, forwards a life without attachments, without love… without real love… but that thought vanishes from her mind, because, there she's… the one who has stolen her heart…
Emily sobs. – "Ali…"
Alison smiles, she takes a tissue from her bag and cleans the messy face of the brunette…
Alison chuckles. – "I never pictured you like a crying baby…"
Emily chuckles with sobs and then she closes her eyes and smiles when she feels Alison's hand caressing her cheek…
Alison. – "I'm so sorry, please don't cry…"
Emily chuckles with sadness, the blonde hugs her and for a moment, Emily allows herself to get lost in that hug. The brunette takes deep breath of Alison's fragrance… Vanilla, Emily mumbles with a smile and against her own desires, she breaks the hug and says without being able to look at the blonde into the eyes…
Emily. – "Don't worry about me… you did nothing wrong… you should go to your date, she sounds like the perfect catch… you don't walk away from the perfect girl…"
Alison nods. – "You're right, I found the perfect girl and I'm not letting her go…"
Emily nods with sobs, she rubs her eyes and then she looks confused when she sees Alison, sitting in front of her, in the empty chair…
Emily asks. – "What are you doing?"
Alison smiles as she puts the napkin in her lap. – "What it looks like I'm doing? I'm having dinner with the perfect girl…"
Emily smiles and blushes, they look into the eyes and keeps smiling at each other with lovely eyes. And since that night, Alison never wrote to Cupid again, because since that night, her heart inflames in love… pure real love…
Some years later…
Alison sighs with frustration. – "Ahmmm… whenever you're ready, really, there's no rush…"
The blonde was lying down in her bed, talking to her big belly when someone lies down beside her…
Emily kisses Alison's belly, her cheek and says with a big smile. – "Hi…"
Alison looks at her and she leans for a kiss in the lips; their lips connect, and Emily softly rubs Alison's belly as she deepens the kiss; their lips just go apart when there was no air to breathe…
Alison smiles with a dizzy smile. – "Hi…"
They look at each other with a lot of love and Emily just leans her head in Alison's chest; still rubbing Alison's belly, the brunette says…
Emily smiles. – "I can't wait to meet our daughters…"
Alison smiles and says as she caresses Emily's hair. – "Me neither…"
They stay like that for a while till Emily stands up, sitting in the bed as she looks for something in her bag. Alison looks at her, curious and she smiles a lot when she sees what Emily was looking for…
Emily smiles. – "So, I've two spoons and one piece of chocolate cake… what do you say? Do you wanna give it a try?"
Alison licks her lips and nods; Emily chuckles and they lean their heads together as they eat the dessert that Emily brought from her work; who would have thought that Emily would ever become so great chef… Emily never saw herself doing anything great in life but thankfully, Alison got the best on her, just like she did with Daniel and Emily feels blessing with such angel in her life…
Emily smiles. – "Thank you…"
Alison. – "Huh? For what?"
Emily smiles. – "For being in our lives, for being in my life…"
Alison smiles, blushes a lot and curls on Emily; eventually, the blonde falls asleep in the arms of the owner of her heart and Emily falls asleep too, hugging her blonde.
Whenever you're ready, you'll get surrender to the power of Cupid's arrow and for these two girls, they surrender more to the LOVE when Lilly and Grace born…
