I message has been going crazy for the past hour causing Emily to become less concentrated on her home work. With her phone vibrating and lighting up more than three times, Emily decided to closes her text book, give up for now and instead collected her phone and began reading her messages

Closing her phone, Alison sat down on the edge of her bed. Love you? I new Aria and Emily had a thing. Alison talked to herself as she got ready for bed. Why? Why her, I mean yeah Aria is great but what does she have that I don't? Ali sighed as she began to change her clothes before switching off the light. Alison has had a crush on Emily for almost a year now but has been keeping quiet in fear of Emily liking Aria, and reading the two of them send I love you messages before bed, practically confirmed it. At lest that's what Ali thought.
The next morning, Emily felt bad that her dad was the one coming to watch her swim instead of Ali. Alison had started coming to watch Emily during swim practice a few months ago, and while she loved having Ali's attention all to herself, she also didn't want Ali to become bored. The blonde probably had a million other things she would rather do, one of which is probably shopping with Hanna. Ali loves spending time with just Hanna, and isn't ashamed of showing it. The two of them have become inseparable the last moth making swimming the only time Emily and Ali seems to get alone, which when Emily has a crush on the blonde is not nearly enough time in her books. It's quit obvious to Emily that Alison has developed feelings for the other blonde in their group and while she has nothing against her best friend, she only wishes it was herself. normally Emily's mother would drop her off to swim practise and Ali would meet her there, giving her a ride home after watching her for an hour. However her dad was down from the army, and is also her biggest fan when it comes to the pool so today was his day, even though she kind of wished that maybe he couldn't come.
When Ella Montgomery arrived home with four bags of food shopping, she was greeted by her daughter who was sat on the couch studying. "Aria honey would you help me with these?" Aria nodded following her mother into the kitchen and emptying the content into the fridge. "Have you got any plans tonight? Your father and I would like to catch a film and Mike is out with a mate". Yes mum don't worry, it's just another girls night at Hanna's no biggy, I should be back mid afternoon. Alright well I'm going to grab a shower before we go, make sure you say goodbye to your father before you leave". "He is in his office, oh and be safe". Heading upstairs to her room, Aria began to pack her bag with all her essentials before changing into her favourite sweats and a tank. one of the things she loved about girls nights, was that she could turn up in almost anything without being questioned, which means no make up or jeans were necessary. Of course Alison, and Hanna dressed to impress all the time, but knowing Emily would likely be in her sharks tracksuit she put on a grey jacket and sweats before looking for her keys. When she couldn't find them, Aria decided that walking the short distance to Hanna's wouldn't kill her and as promised said goodbye to her father on her way out.
Swimming training seemed to drag on forever today according to Emily, And she was now seriously considering weather her favourite blonde not being their to cheer her on had anything to do with it. Her dad enjoy watching her swim again, and after woods offered to take her out for a coffee on sunday. When he dropped her off to the pizza shop, Emily ran inside to collect her order before beginning her walk towards Hanna's. Turning onto Hanna's street Emily could also see someone walking up ahead of her. The smaller person tripped, which was followed by a small yet high pitch scream. Picking up her pace, Emily hurried towards the unknown girl to find non other then Aria clutching her knee. "Shit" the smaller girl cursed as Emily crouched down to her level. wow Aria are you okay? "Yeah, I... I guess I just tripped on the concrete, I wasn't exactly watching where I was going, I was to busy texting Hanna". Can you stand? Aria tried before failing miserably and sitting back down. Here let me help you, Emily placed her bag on her shoulder and the pizza in one hand offering Aria her other arm to get up. Look we can clean your knee when we get to Hanna's for now how about I just give you a ride? Aria looked at Emily confused not seeing a car and laughed. Hop on my back, I'll just carry you. Aria smirked Are you sure? Positive unless you would rather walk? Aria quickly shook her head and with the help of Emily and her good leg was able to wrap her arms around her neck and hop on. With Aria safely on her back, and the pizza in her hand Emily concentrated as she continued to walk towards Hanna's door. When she arrived, Aria pressed the bell and found that Ali was the one to answer it. What... What are you two doing? "Hello to you two Ali", Emily grinned as she held out the pizza and waited for Ali to take it. Aria fell, I was on my way when I saw her guess she busted her knee. Right well that explains the piggy back. Emily nodded as she entered making her way towards the couch, Where Hanna was already waiting. Hanna smiled when she realised Emily had got pizza, her request but frowned when she saw a now injured Aria attached to Emily.
"God what happen Aria? are you okay"? Emily placed Aria onto the couch and she smiled, "yeah I will be thanks to Em here, I never new she was so strong". Hanna rolled her eyes and faked a smile. Ali was the only one who saw it and she new that it was because Emily was once again charming the pants off Aria and it wasn't Her. "Well let me get you a ice pack". Thanks Han. When Hanna returned she handed Aria some frozen peas seeing how it was all she had and smiled. Hanna then shared another look with Ali as the two looked confused watching Emily clean Aria's cut. "I never new you learnt first aid Em" Hanna commented and Emily smiled. "Well it just so happens that my swim coach thought it would be best we covered the basics. I'm no doctor but I'm qualified to fix a scrape" Right well now Aria's knees fixed lets eat. oh and bye the way guys it looks like I'm Em's favourite after all, she got pizza. "Actually Hanna the Chinese shop was closed", Ali smirked blushing when Emily made brief eye contact. "Wait so I'm third? Man thanks Em". Aria nudged Emily and laughed. "it's not like that, you know I don't like taco bill, pizza just also happens to also be my favourite, I like you all equally". Relax Em we just like messing with you, thanks for fixing my knee. your welcome Aria.
"So Emily how was swim practice"? Ali questioned as she took her place on the couch next to Hanna. She watched as Emily lifted Arias legs before placing them into her lap. Long, I'm so tired coach had us swim extra laps for the meet that's coming up. Sometimes I wish I could just have one day to myself, without swimming. "Well maybe next Saturday you should just blow it off?" I wish but theirs no way I will be anchor if I do that. Ali nodded reaching for a blanket and curling up with Hanna. Emily sighed wishing that for once Ali would want to sit next to her, but kept quiet instead focusing her attention on the movie. When the girls finished eating and watching mean girls, Hanna suggest a friendly game of truth or dare.
Joining the circle on the floor, Ali decided that if she was going to play she was going to go first. Aria truth or dare? Truth, okay if you could trad one think about yourself with each of us what would it be? Easy I'd take Emily's body, your eyes, and Hanna's personality. Em truth or dare? Aria smirked waiting for the chance to ask her something. "Hmm Dare", I dare you to kiss anyone one of us on the lips. Emily bit her bottom lip and tensed. "do I have to"? She questioned Aria and Aria giggled. Yep, Aria new about Emily's little crush on Alison and figured that maybe this would be her chance to test it out, but when Emily proceeded to make her way towards Hanna Aria immediately regret suggesting such a thing. Emily new that Aria was into Hanna, and Aria couldn't for the life of her think of why she would kiss Hanna but she did, and when their lips met both Aria and Alison filled with jealousy and couldn't watch. "Their you happy"? Emily sat back down opposite a now grinning Hanna and smiled. My turn Emily mumbled before facing Ali truth or dare? Ali fidgeted with her hands. "Umm truth I guess". Is the person you like sitting in this circle? Ali blushed causing all the girls to laugh. "Yes she is". Ali faked her confidence before turning to Hanna. "Your up Han truth or dare"? "Dare"! hmm how about for the next 2 rounds you have to take your top off and sit in just your shorts and bra. Hanna rolled her eyes unfazed with this dare as she is confident, and removed her shirt revealing a red bra. Arias eyes were immediately drawn to Hanna's chest and she mentally thanked Ali for making her do such a thing. "Alright Aria your turn", Hanna smiled "Truth or dare"? "Dare", I dare you to kiss one of us, it's only fare since you made Emily do it. Aria rolled her eyes knowing that it was just a matter of time that this dare would be thrown back at her, and as much as kissing Hanna right now was quiet appealing, seeing as she was topless Aria played it safe and kissed Emily, not letting herself change her mind. A now shocked Emily Pulled away, before noticing Hanna and Ali sharing a weird glance for the third time tonight. Alison then excused herself claiming she was going to the bathroom, and Hanna headed into the kitchen looking for the alcohol to add a edge to the game, leaving only Aria and Emily in the lounge room.
"What the hell?" Emily questioned Aria. Hanna just gave you the perfect opportunity to kiss her why did you kiss me? "Why did you kiss Hanna?" Aria answered the question with her own question. "You know I like her... You should have kissed Ali". Yeah I know but I chickened out, I couldn't kiss Ali I mean I'm pretty sure she likes Hanna like you do remember? I mean what is wrong me? am I like not girlfriend material? what's Hanna have that I don't? Aria frowned, "Emily it's nothing against you I swear, Hanna just...I dunno she just make me feel all giddy inside probable the same as Ali does to you huh?" Emily nodded before Hanna came back in caring four shots. "What's taking Ali so long"? She questioned the two girls and Aria nudged Emily. Umm I'm not sure maybe I should go make sure she's okay. Emily stood up leaving Hanna and Aria alone before heading upstairs in search of Ali. When she knocked on the bathroom door, and there was no answer Emily walked in to see that Ali was no longer in their. Calling out to Ali, Emily decided to try Hanna's room and when she opened the door, Emily found Ali sitting on the edge of Hanna's bed her back towards the door, with her head resting on her knees.
"A... Ali are your alright"? what are you doing? Hearing Emily's voice startled the blonde causing Ali to jump. God Em you... You scared me. Ali stood clutching a pillow around her stomach and sniffed before wiping her eyes. Stepping inside Hanna's room, Emily closed the door before making her way towards Ali, and it was then that she realised that the blonde had been crying. "Ali are you okay"? Emily asked the question again hoping this time she would get a answer. Yeah... I just needed a minute alone I guess, I'm not really feeling that well. Emily sat down on the bed hoping Alison would join her, and when she did Emily smiled. "Ali I may not know you that well, but you and I both know you never get sick, what's really going on"? Emily nervously placed her right hand on Ali's lower back in an attempt to comfort her friend. Nothing it's stupid really I just got worked up over nothing. "Ali was it something I did"? What no Em, you didn't do anything wrong I just got a little jealous so I left. "Jealous? Jealous of what"? Emily looked more confused then she did when she walked in. Em I'd really rather not say it's embarrassing. "Ali come on we are best friends, I'm not leaving this room until you tell me".
Fine. I started getting jealous last night when you said I love you to Aria. when I wasn't needed at your swim practice today I was a little bummed, and I guess seeing the way you took such good care of Aria tonight when she hurt herself and watching you kissing both Hanna and Aria pushed me over the edge. I mean is there something wrong with me Emily? I...both you and Hanna, clearly like Aria as more than a friend and I just... Am that bad? Why do I feel like no one would ever even consider kissing me? Am I not good enough? I like you Emily... when you asked if the person I like was sitting in the circle I was talking about you, but I feel like your to busy falling for Aria to even notice. Ali covered her face again with her hands.
"Wait what? Ali I don't like Aria Emily chuckled... I mean not like that any way". Emily shook her head causing pulling Ali's hands away from her face. You don't? "Nope". Well then is it Hanna? Emily shook her head. "As much as I love Hanna as a friend Ali she's not the person I'm interested in as more then a friend". Well then who is? ... And Why did you kiss them? Emily blushed tucking a peace of hair behind her ear. "you want the truth"? Ali nodded. "I kissed Hanna because I was to nervous and a little scared of what you would think if i kissed you". Ali's eyes widen. But I thought you didn't... "You thought wrong", Emily took Alison's left hand and held it in hers. "The person I'm into happens t have these amazing eyes that I always seem to get lost in. They remind me of the water and when she smiles it is contagious. The person I'm into has perfect blond hair that falls into curls around her face, and a killer body that I can never seem to take my eyes off. Oh and did I mention she also has these beautiful pink lips that I've spent way to much time thinking about. I often wonder what they would feel like if I ever get the chance to kiss them. I didn't kiss Aria by the way, she kissed me". Well Then... That person doesn't know how special they are. Ali sighed still not realising what Emily just said. Emily shook her head "no you don't know how special you are, I like you too Ali and if I had of known that it was me you were interested in and not Hanna, like I thought you were I never would have made you think for a second that you are not worth kissing because you are Ali, you are more then enough for me". I am? "Yes". Emily I don't no what to say, wait... Did you just say you thought I was in to Hanna? Well yeah I mean you know your always jumping at a chance to spend time alone together and I just thought well that I didn't stand a chance. Emily I could never like Hanna. "Really?" Really, she is way to much like me, that would be so weird. Ali laughed and Emily couldn't help but smile. "You don't no how glad I am to here you say that, If it makes you feel better I was a little jealous too".
You want to know a secret Em? Emily nodded as she traced a pattern on the back of Ali's hand with her thumb. I... I've never kissed a girl before, I mean boys yeah but I've never... You kn... Alison was cut off by the brunette who placed her index finger on her lips. smirking at Alison who was lost for words. Before letting Ali continue her rant Emily brought Ali's pink lips that she so often stares at down to hers in a searing kiss. That was all the encouragement Emily need to know that Ali had never kissed a girl and she was determined to show her what she had been missing out on. The brunette and blonde instantly melted into each other, as Ali tugging on the hem of Emily's shirt to pull her closer. Alison felt as though she was now on cloud nine, the kiss that she too had thought about for so long was now actually happening, and she couldn't believe it. It was everything and more then she ever could have imagined it would be, and as the two love birds broke for air they both erupted into a fit of giggles. lying down on their backs and turning their heads to look at each other, Emily spoke. "Now you have kissed a "girl" Emily smirked feeling a sense of pride knowing that she was the first girl to have ever had the oner of kissing the blonde, and held her gaze. "You are so beautiful Ali I hope you know that". Emily reached out her hand, brushing a few curls off Alison's face who was shaking her head in an attempt to disagree. That would be you Em, your so sweet too sweet. Ali flashed her famous Ali D smile that always made Emily go week at the knees before regaining some confidence and rolling on top of the brunette who let out a quiet moan, before placing her hands on Ali's hips. So mermaid, Ali used her nick name for Emily to lighten the mood. How would you feel about maybe becoming my girlfriend?... "Hmm I don't no, I... I Might just have to think about that". Emily teased the girl on top of her and Alison pouted. Emily was then egger to kiss that adorable pout away knowing full well that it wouldn't be the last time she saw it. "I'm kidding Ali you have no idea how long I've wanted that". Oh yeah? "Yeah", and just so You know I love you Ali you are my favourite and I'm all yours".
Alison's heart burst with happiness at the feeling of hearing those words and smiled. I love you too Em, Ali place a kiss to the side of her check before reluctantly pulling away from the brunette, this time standing in between Emily's legs at the edge of the bed and waiting for Emily to sit up. "Hey where are you going"? Emily frowned instantly missing the warm contact of the blondes body on hers. Down stairs, I'm sure Hanna and Aria will be waiting. "So? they... They can wait a little longer I'm not done yet. I haven't had enough Ali time". Emily reached for Alison's free hand and pulled the blonde back towards her for a kiss. Alison didn't even try to protest, the brunettes kisses quickly becoming an addiction and she crawled her way onto Emily laps. when the kiss broke Ali looked at a now satisfied brunette who was lying trapped underneath her warmth. What's Ali time? "It's when I get you all to myself, and since you didn't come to practice today I didn't get any". Emily this time copied Ali's earlier pout and the blonde blushed. Aww well I'm happy to know I'm wanted, Emily smiled "your always wanted In fact I don't think I could ever get enough of you, but now that can change. Now your mine an I don't intend on sharing". Ali laughed a genuine laugh, Em your like a little kid without her puppy. "I know, that's how I feel when I'm not with you, as cheesy as that sounds it's true". God I swear you make it impossible not to love you Emily Fields. "Is that so miss Dilaurentis? Mmm hmm, "well I guess you do too when you look at me like that. if you want to go back down stairs your just going to have to kiss me my love". Emily winked causing Ali to roll her eyes at her girlfriends behaviour before she kissed her like it was going to be their last.
Meanwhile down stairs a similar conversation was going on. "You... You know Hanna you should probably put your shirt back on". Why? "because you... It's... It's Distracting me from even forming a proper sentence". Hanna's eyebrows raised a she realised what was just said, before catching Aria looking at her chest. Oh is... is that so? Hanna crawled her way towards Aria making a bold move to straddle her lap. "Han... What... What are you doing"? Oh nothing I... I just thought I'd give you a better view that's all. Aria blushed "I wasn't... I mean I... I didn't mean to look I just... I umm". Aria relax you can look. I have been checking you out all night too, Hanna grinned from ear to ear. "But... I thought you... You and Ali were like a thing. don't you like have a crush on each other"? Hanna shook her head. Nope no way, I prefer brunettes. "You do"? Yeah. I can't believe you thought Ali and I were a thing. "Well you have spent a lot of time together of late you can't blame me for wondering". Aria I spend so much time talking and hanging out with Ali because I need someone to listen to me when I talk about you. I would have talked to Emily but I figured it was her that you liked. "Emily"? Yeah like when tonight you know she helped you with your knee, I would have but I'm not good at that stuff. And then when you kissed her I was kind of hoping you would kiss me but you didn't. Hanna blushed removing herself from Aria and sitting on the couch instead. "Hanna I'm not into Emily like that, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea I... I wanted to kiss you too". Then why didn't you? Hanna frowned and Aria attempted to stand using the arm of the chair and her good leg, hobbling her way towards Hanna. "I didn't kiss you because I wasn't sure i would be able to stop. I mean you didn't have a top, I don't think you realise how much seeing you like that was turning me on, your like perfect. I figured kissing Em was a safer option". Aria began to fiddle with her hands as she stood in front of Hanna looking any where but her chest. Hanna then reached for her top pulling it back on much to Aria's disappointment and smirked. "Han why are you looking at me like that"? Like what Hanna questioned the smaller brunette. Hanna reached out for Aria grabbing her waist until the girl was now sitting on her lap. Kiss me, Hanna whispered in the brunettes ear causing a shiver to crawl down her spine. "What"? You heard me kiss me, I... I put my top back on. Aria chuckled finally understanding why Hanna had bother putting her top back on and truned to face the blonde as best she could. "Are you sure"? The brunette questioned her in a some what nervous tone. I'm sure, now please kiss me or I will just have to kiss you myself. Aria smirked realising that Hanna was dead serious and closed the gap between her and her favourite blonde, the both of them smiling like idiots. When they broke apart Aria quickly buried her head in Hanna's neck. "I really like you Hanna". Aria mumbled and Hanna grinned. I really like you to kid, That was amazing did you feel that? Aria nodded pulling away enough to see Hanna's face and when looking at her bit her lip. "Can I kiss you again"? Aria questioned the blonde and she laughed. Aria you can kiss me as many times as you want, on one condition. "what's that"? You become my girlfriend? Deal? "Deal" Aria smiled with joy as she prepped the blondes face with lots of kiss, before wrapping her into a tight hug which was returned.
Heading back down stairs, Alison and Emily held hands as they joined their friends in the lounge. Hanna was the first to notice the small gesture between them and smiled. "does this mean what I think it means"? Hanna questioned the blonde standing next to Emily and she smiled. "That depends does that look like what it looks like"? Ali pointed to Aria who had some how fallen asleep against Hanna's chest. her head was resting in the left side of Hanna's neck, and her right arm had a firm grip around Hanna's waist. Hanna grinned. "It sure does, but try to be quiet I don't want you to wake my girlfriend". Emily smiled at the smaller brunette " congrats you want a blanket Han"? Hanna nodded and Emily let go of Ali's hand reluctantly, to place the blanket on top of Hanna and Arias bodies. When she turned around she saw Ali waiting patiently for her to join her as the big spoon on the second couch. "Babe I'm cold come cuddle"? "Sure just a sec, I need to go change out of this tracksuit". Ali pouted un impressed that Emily was going to make her wait longer, causing Emily to hold in a laugh. when Emily crouched down to Ali's level and gave the girl a innocent kiss on the lips, it confirmed Hanna's suspicions. "you two are cute, but please no funny business when you get back Em". "Eww Han who do you think we are? we only started dating hmm... a proximity 45 minutes ago". "Well then in that case I can sleep without any worries. Make sure you hit the light when you get back, goodnight love birds". "night Han" Emily rolled her eyes and Ali giggled waiting for her girl to return. Turning off the lights, Emily crawled her way behind an almost asleep Ali. "Mmm your back". Ali mumbled as she turned herself around so that she was now facing Emily. "Mmm I'm back, you sound half asleep you didn't have to wait for me". "I wanted to""Why"? Because if I didn't then I would have missed out on a good night kiss". Emily grinned pulling the blonde closer towards her by the neck and granting her with the kiss she so desperately wanted. "Goodnight Ali I love you sleep well", Mmm "goodnight Emmy I love you too" xx
