Hey, guise. I have lost internet, so my updates will be very scarce in the next few weeks. Do know I will have plenty of chapters to catch up on when I do get permission to use the WiFi.

Chapter Five:

Alison watched as Emily shined her bemused drunken smile. It was one that screamed trouble and innocence all at one. Alison was fairly sure that that was the same smile that had her falling head over heels for her.

Alison sighed as Emily stood in her doorway before she beckoned her in. Emily's grin broadened as she walked through the door and passed Audrey and Alison. Emily instantly made herself at home falling onto the couch in the living room without asking. Alison didn't know whether to be amused at Emily's drunken behavior or irritated at her for showing up without asking. Again.

Alison spoke softly, "Hey, Em. While I would love to talk to you and figured out why you're here, I really need to put Audrey to bed. Do you mind waiting a few?"

Emily pouted a little at the idea that Alison was leaving, but she conceded. As Alison was walking up the stairs, Emily called out, "Please, don't take too long. I'll miss you."

Audrey grimaced as she heard Emily's voice call out. She reached for her mother's hand and held to it tightly. Alison, who hadn't reacted to Alison's comment outwardly, glanced worriedly down at her three-year-old daughter. She raised an eyebrow at her, but Audrey wouldn't meet her eyes.

They entered Audrey's room and turned on the light. Alison picked Audrey sleep clothes and they walked to the bathroom. Alison adjusted the water correctly before letting Audrey jump in. As Alison helped bathe Audrey, Audrey asked, "Mommy…?"

Alison glanced down at her and smiled, "Yes?"

"Do you like her…?" Audrey whispered.

"Emily?"

"Yeah… The woman who keeps showing up…?"

Alison nibbled on her bottom lip as she tried to come with an age appropriate way to describe how she felt about Emily. She briefly thought of lying about, but she didn't believe in lying to her kids. Heck, Alison didn't even tell them Santa was real. She slowly replied to Audrey, "Baby, you know I said I would never lie to you…?"

Audrey nodded her head solemnly. Alison slowly continued, "Well… Emily… For the better part of my life… She was my best friend… And-"

Audrey interrupted Alison, "Like how Aunty Spence and Aunty Aria are to you?"

Alison pursed her lips. "Uh… yes and no," Alison paused trying to gather her thoughts as Audrey stared confusingly up at her, "Emily and me… We have a very complicated relationship… You see… When we were younger… We were like Aunty Spencer and Aunty Aria are to each other…"

Audrey's face shown with understanding, "OH, SO YOU GUYS WERE A COUPLE? Why didn't you just say that, mommy?"

Alison flushed as she looked at her daughter, "Because… Uh, I don't know… Anyways, Emily is my ex… Which means we used to be but now we are not… So, uh… Her being back means we are trying to go back to how Ar, Spence, and I are."

Audrey looked thoughtful as she replied, "I don't think I like her…"

Alison eyed her daughter curiously as she replied, "Why?"

"She seems like she hurt you… You act around her like how you would act when daddy was around after he would get mad…"

Alison felt tears pool up in her eyes as she gently pulled Audrey out of the shower. She softly cooed, "Babygirl… I'm so sorry that you had to see that… But Emily… she… she's not like that… Emily is kind and gentle. She never… She would never let… She wouldn't do what your dad did when he was mad… I promise, sweetheart. I wouldn't let her…" Alison's felt a bulb go off in her head as she dried Audrey off. "Baby… did your dad get mad last night?"

Audrey looked down as she muttered, "Maybe…"

Alison felt her blood boil. "Did he… to Mona... did he?"

Audrey nodded. Alison instantly felt angry. At herself, at him, at Mona. At everyone. She couldn't believe she thought he was better. She should have known. She now helped Audrey get dressed as they walked down the hall to Audrey's bedroom again. Audrey climbed up into her bed and waited until her mom had tucked her in and laid beside her before saying, "Emily is very pretty, mommy."

Even though, Alison's blood was pumping at a dangerous level, Alison granted her daughter a half smile. Alison answered, "That she is."

"I like her brown hair… How come I don't have brown hair? I want brown hair. That's not fair." Alison grinned at her daughter's amusing antics.

She wrapped her arm around Audrey as she began her nightly ritual. She told her a new part of the Princess Em story as she watched Audrey's bright blue eyes begin close. She tiptoed out the room and silently closed the door.

Alison's head was full of disbeliefs as she walked down the stairs to go confront Emily. Alison couldn't believe Emily was at her house. Alison couldn't believe that she was drunk again. She really couldn't believe that she allowed Audrey and Laken to be put in position of getting hurt again. But, mostly, what she couldn't believe was that Audrey hadn't told her sooner about her dad.

Emily looked up from her phone as Alison slowly walked down the stairs. She caught herself taking in everything she didn't get to this morning. She took in the way Alison's legs were toned at how long they seemed to be in tiny, tiny shorts. She took in the way Alison's curves were visible even under a baggy t-shirt. She took in the way Alison's breasts seemed to have gotten bigger. She took in the way Alison's tantalizing curve of her neck that still made Emily feel weak. She took in the dimples that grace her face with every smile and that appear randomly as she talked. But mostly, what she took in was Alison's eyes.

Alison's eyes were deep blue orbs that took in everything. When she was younger, those orbs were the only thing that could scream that she was lying. They were full of secrets, lies, and deceits. But now, Alison's eyes were filled with light. They are filled with happiness, comfort, and strength.

Alison watched as Emily checked her out. She smirked as she thought that Emily was being way too obvious. When Emily finally looked up at her, she flushed as she knew she had been caught. Alison lightly laughed.

She sat on the opposite end of Emily and waited until Emily spoke. Emily lowly said, "Hey…" Alison looked expectantly back at Emily and nodded her greeting. Emily sighed, figuring that was the best reply she was going to get, and continued, "So, I know I ran out this morning and for that, I'm terribly sorry."

Alison nodded again. Emily sighed again, "I am also sorry for jumping down your throat this morning and not giving you time to explain yourself."

Alison nodded again. Emily become irritated at Alison's silence, and said, "So, basically, I'm sorry I'm an ass and haven't improved over the years we haven't talked."

At this moment, Alison burst out laughing. Emily looked shocked and her jaw dropped in disbelief. Alison quickly recovered and said, "Emily, look. You're okay. I get it. You were overwhelmed with the idea of us sleeping together, combined with our used-to-be feelings for one another, and my two beautiful children. Don't worry about it."

Emily still looked stunned. Alison lapped back into silence again. They sat there staring at each other while Emily thought about what she said. She slowly choked out, "Used-to-be?"

Alison blinked confusedly, "Yeah… We used to date… We used to love each other… We used to think that we were going to have kids of our own… We used to be the perfect couple… We used to be."

Emily felt what was little left of her heart shatter again. She couldn't believe Alison didn't love her. She couldn't believe that Alison so easily moved on. She especially couldn't believe that Alison used to think of their kids and she threw it away.

Emily's eyes filled with hurt as her mouth moved without her direction, "I didn't use to love you… I'm still in love with you."

As soon as Emily said it, Alison filled with dread. Her head was filled with denial, and all the sudden, she spoke emotionlessly, "Get out."

Emily was confused and began to protest, "What?"

Alison spoke again, "Get out!"

Emily still protested.

"Emily Fields, if you do not get the fuck out my house, I swear to god they won't find your body."

Emily opened her mouth to protest even more but decided against it. She slowly walked to the door. She reached for the doorknob but turned around. Her mouth opened again and whispered, "Please…"

Alison's eyes flared. She reached behind Emily to open the door for her and shove her out, but Emily's eyes dilated the minute she got closer. Alison instantly became aware of how close Emily was. Her hand was placed on top of Emily's to turn the knob. Alison's torso was almost touching Emily's. Alison could even feel Emily's breath ghosting over her lips.

Emily's brown eyes seemed to swallow Alison's blue eyes. Her eyes seem to swallow Alison's hatred for Elliott, sadness for her kids, and confusion over what Emily was getting to do to her. The eyes swallowed everything wrong and seemed to confuse everything more. As the blonde stared into them, she was slowly forgetting why she wanted the brunette beauty to leave.

Alison desperately wanted to tell her to leave. She wanted to push Emily out of her house and never look at her again. She wanted Emily to go back to leave her alone. But, really, what she wanted more than anything else was to push past the line they were bordering so closely and kiss Emily until she couldn't remember how to breathe on her own.

The hand placed on Emily's hand began to move up her arm. It came to stop curled around Emily's warm neck. Emily forgot about leaving and instead slowly slid her hands around Alison's waist, resting on the small of her back. Alison's other hand, on its own violation, reached up to curl around Emily's neck as well.

Alison was now fully pressed up against Emily and Alison couldn't remember why she had wanted Emily to leave. Alison still hadn't connected their lips, but Emily was about to scream 'fuck it' and go for it. Alison was trying her hardest not to break their silent decision to wait and not pass the line.

This line that would allow them to be back friends. This line that would allow her to pretend as if Emily didn't make her knees weak just by smiling. This line that would allow her to pretend as if Emily couldn't change her day just by how she talked. This line that allowed her to pretend as if she still wasn't madly in love with Emily.

Somehow, Emily kept her control. She didn't push the kiss, she just waited. Alison still hadn't made the move, but her eyes kept flickering between her lips and her eyes. Alison knew if she looked at those soft lips one more time, though, she was going to give in.

Alison kept her eyes locked with Emily's, but she had subconsciously moved close to Emily. Their lips were now barely a centimeter apart. If one of the girls breathed too fast, it would break their silent agreement.

With their eyes still locked, Alison passed the line. She tentatively connected their lips. It was slow at first. Just the new exploration of old territory.

Alison pulled Emily's bottom lip into her mouth and bit down gently. This caused a gasp to come from Emily's mouth which made Alison slide her tongue into the hole. Emily's gasp quickly turned into a moan as Alison and Emily clashed over dominance.

They could have stayed in that hallway kissing for hours or it could've been minutes. Both girls had lost track of time. They were both so caught up in the other that neither noticed what happened.

When they finally pulled apart, both were breathing pretty heavy. Their foreheads were pressed against each other's and their breath ghosted across their lips. Alison had her eyes closed as she worked on controlling her impulses. She slowly opened her dark blue eyes, but when she did she was surprised at how dark Emily's were.

Alison wanted to lean forward again. She wanted to explore other body parts upstairs. She wanted to push Emily up against the nearest flat surface and fuck her until she wouldn't be able to walk right for days. She wanted so much in that moment, but standing there, watching Emily just made her feeling drained.

She closed her eyes and stepped back. Emily watched in confusion as Alison reached for the doorknob and opened the door behind her. Alison clearly with no emotion said, "Please, Emily, leave. Don't come back. Leave our past relationship alone. There's too much at stake for you to show up again. So, please, just leave. Leave and never come back."

Emily felt herself break what little heart she had left. She nodded to Alison and walked out the door.

Sorry guise for this. But I mean, I'm going to give you Emison eventually. I'm not PLL, I won't take too long to get them to a date. Trust me. I'm more impatient than you guise probably are.

Please review, my lovelies.

Thank you for reading! xx
