Always Have and Always Will: - Chapter 6
"Ali, hurry up!" Emily shouted as she grabbed their bags and put them in her car.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." The blonde replied as she walked down the stairs.
"Not yet you're not." Emily whispered under her breath.
"What?" Alison asked as she walked over to the car trunk.
"Nothing." Emily said with a smile as she kissed the blonde. Alison had a suspicious look on her face but decided not to ask any more questions. They quickly got into Emily's car and began their journey.
"Babe, how long are we going to be driving for?" Emily smiled at Ali's question; she loved it when she called her babe and the blonde knew that very well.
"Around 2 days."
"I don't know if I can survive that long with you." The blonde replied with a sigh as she tried not to laugh.
"Hey." Emily said with her puppy eyes. Alison absolutely melted when Emily quickly looked at her.
"You know I love you." The blonde said after she kissed the brunette's cheek.
"Mhm." Emily said with a smile as she tried to focus on the road. After a few minutes of Alison just staring at Emily and Emily smiling, the blonde pulled out the camera she had beside her leg and began taking photos of the brunette.
"What are doing?" Emily said quickly.
"Admiring you." Alison said as she continued to take photos of Emily who now had a huge grin on her face.
"Stop it, you're distracting me." Emily said with a slight laugh.
"Oh, this is just the beginning of me distracting you." Alison with a smirk. Emily shook her head and continued to focus on the road.
The summer came quickly and so the two decided to that a vacation was long overdue. But for the two a simple vacation wasn't enough; they decided to go on a road trip to California. Yes, Emily did live in California for about 3 years but she never really got a chance to visit around much; she was always busy with school and then when she quit she was busy with work and trying to make sure her mum did not find out about her not being in school anymore. Plus, it had been nearly 4 years since she came back from there.
"Can you believe we've already been together for 6 months?" Alison said after a bit of silence.
"Nope, its went by so quick." Emily replied with a smile as she thought about the past 6 months which had been some of the best in her life. Alison nodded with a smile and she thought about the exact same thing.
"They past few months have been amazing." Emily nodded in agreement.
"I love you so much." The brunette said as she stopped at a red light and looked over at the blonde who had a huge grin on her face. She leaned in and Emily closed the distance. The kiss quickly became passionate until a car started honking at them. The two laughed as they pulled apart and Emily started the car again.
"So, what have you got planned for us in California?" The blonde asked.
"Well actually nothing." Emily looked over at the confused blonde and smiled.
"We are going to be spontaneous, everyday we'll decided to do something different together." Alison smiled; she loved this side of Emily. Usually it never really came out but ever since they had gotten together with the blonde it had and Alison loved it; it made their lives exciting and unpredictable.
"I love it, and I love you." A huge grin appeared on the brunette's face; she would never get tired of hearing those words.
6 HOURS LATER
"It's getting late, babe. We should stop somewhere for the night, I'll drive in the morning." Emily yawned and nodded in agreement.
Emily pulled over at the next motel. It looked a bit shabby, but neither wanted to complain; it was late and they were tired. Alison went to get a room whilst Emily unpacked some clothes for them and popped them in her back pack.
"Room 203." Alison said as she jingled the keys whilst Emily closed the trunk.
"Let's go." The brunette replied as she grabbed her girlfriends hand. Alison opened the old door to find a small dark room with a double bed in a middle and what looked like a door at the back. Switching on the light they found a small tv and cabinet underneath it.
"Well this is going to be an interesting night." Emily said as she sat down on the uncomfortable bed.
"Yup it will indeed." Alison said as she walked over to Emily and began kissing her. Within second the blonde was on top of Emily and caught in a passionate make out session until after a few minutes Emily pulled away.
"I'm sorry but we need to get some sleep babe." Ali sighed. "Yeah you're right." She replied with a sad pout. Emily gave her one last peck on the lips before they got ready for bed.
They quietly lay in bed for a while; neither of them could seem to fall asleep on the uncomfortable bed. Emily rolled over and put her arm over Alison.
"Can't sleep?" She whispered into the crook of the blonde's neck.
"Nope." Emily began kissing Alison's neck; a smile began to form on the blonde's face.
"I thought we had to sleep."
"We do, I'm just trying to help you relax." The brunette replied in between kisses.
"Mhm right." Alison said with a smirk.
Eventually the two feel asleep. Alison was so tried that the bed ended up not bothering her until she woke up and found that the bed was empty.
"Emily?"
"Babe?" Alison said as she got out the bed and checked the bathroom. Nothing, then suddenly she heard the door open. "Oh, my god." She said with a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I just went out to get breakfast." Emily said holding up a bag of food, Alison smiled.
Breakfast were their favourite part of the day; they talked, laughed and kissed any moment they got. It was a special morning routine for them; they both loved in and wouldn't trade it for the world, even when they were sitting in an old motel room nothing changed.
After they finished breakfast they decided it was time to get back on the road; this time Alison was driving and Emily got to distract her. She started off by simply starting at the blonde and occasionally sneaking a photo of her thinking that Alison didn't notice but then she decided to step up her game. She began playing with the blonde curly locks like she would when they'd be lying on the couch watching a movie; Emily knew that Alison loved it when the brunette did that.
"Okay this is unfair I was going easy on the distractions."
"Who said I had to play fair?" Emily whispered into Alison's ear; her quiet and seductive voice sent shivers down Ali's spine. She then put her hand on the blonde's thigh and began rubbing it gently with her thumb.
"Okay, if you don't stop I'm going to end up crashing." Alison said, Emily fell back in her seat with a laugh; 1:0 to Emily.
The next few hours were boring and long, they listened to music and talked but nothing could stop take their minds of how hot and long the road was.
"I think we need a break." Emily said as she tried to cool herself down with her hands.
"Yeah definitely." Alison pulled over at the next restaurant they saw. It was in the middle of nowhere but seemed really popular. The two got out the car and stretched; they couldn't believe how much they hurt after only 6 hours. Emily walked over to the blonde and stretched her hand out; the blonde tangled their fingers together and walked into the restaurant with the brunette.
The restaurant wasn't any better than the car; it was hot and crowded with sweaty people. The two gave each other a well we've got no other option look and found somewhere to sit down and order.
After a minute a young, tall and blonde waitress came over.
"What would you girls like to order?" She said with a smile.
"I'll have the waffles and water with ice please." Emily said quickly.
"I'll have the same."
"It'll be right out." She said as she walked away to the counter.
Quickly the waitress came back with the water and then waffles.
"If you need anything else, just call." She said to Emily with a flirtatious wink; Emily blushed slightly and nodded. The waitress smiled and walked away; when Emily made eye contact with Alison she could tell the blonde wasn't too happy.
"Did she just wink at you?"
"Uh yeah, she did." Emily said not knowing what to think of it.
"Wow, okay." Alison said shooting the waitress an unpleasant look; Emily laughed.
"Calm down, you've got nothing to worry about; you're way hotter than her." Emily said with a smirk; Alison still wasn't satisfied. "Plus, I love you."
"That's better." Alison said with a smile; Emily only giggled.
After the two finished eating they couldn't wait to get out the restaurant; it was only becoming more and more crowded by the minute. But before Emily could leave behind Alison as they went through the crowd she was stopped by the waitress.
"Call me." She said with a wink as she handed her a napkin with a number on it. Alison turned around and saw the whole thing; she was just waiting for Emily's reaction.
"Uh I'm flattered but I have a girlfriend so uh you can take this back." She said as she handed the napkin back and walked over to Alison who was smiling.
"What?"
"Nothing." Alison said as she kissed Emily. Alison never worried about Emily cheating on her or leaving her; she just loved hearing the word girlfriend leaving Emily's mouth.
The two reluctantly got into the car; even though it was impossible the car seemed a hundred degrees hotter than before.
"Babe?"
"Mhm?" Alison replied without taking her eyes off the road. They had been driving for a few hours now with mostly silence; they were both tired but Emily had been deeply thinking about something.
"Do you think if we had gotten together before I went off to California we would have survived?"
"Um I'd like to think so but I guess you never know. Why?"
"I was just wondering how different our relationship would have been if we had admitted our feelings for each other before we went our separate ways for three years."
"I think we could have made it or if we hadn't we would have found our way back to each other." Emily smiled; she loved how much faith Ali had in their love and relationship.
"Why did we admit our feelings to each other before?"
"Well I hadn't really come to terms with my sexuality yet so I guess I was just too scared too. You?"
"I don't know, I didn't think you felt anything for me anymore."
"Yeah I guess I didn't really show it."
"At least we're together now." Emily said with a smile which Alison mirrored.
"Yeah, I love you." The blonde said as she grabbed the brunette's hand and tangled their fingers together.
"I love you, too." Emily said with a huge smile on her face.
After more hours of driving they finally decided to stop at yet another motel for the night; they had to admit this one was much nicer than their last one.
"Wow, not bad for a motel." Alison said as she put her backpack down on the bed.
"Yeah." Emily said as she looked around. The room was much bigger; it had a better tv and bathroom, the bed was actually comfortable and even it even had a small table with two chairs. The two lay on the bed in silence. They were both exhausted but couldn't seem to keep their hands of each other; Emily moved closer to Alison and tangled their fingers together when she grabbed her hand. Alison smiled; she loved these small gestures.
The blonde turned on her side so that she could look at the brunette who also had a smile on her face. Neither of them could believe how beautiful the other one was even after such a long tiring trip. Emily moved closer to Alison and kissed her.
"You are so beautiful." The brunette said as she brushed a strand of the blonde's hair away with her free hand. A huge smile grew on the blonde's face as she closed the distance between their mouths again; the kiss quickly became passionate and heated. Their mouths moved together in sync as butterflies grew in their stomachs. Suddenly Alison found herself on top of Emily pining her hands behind her head. Then she began placing kisses down the brunette's neck; Emily realised as slight moan.
Quickly pieces of clothing began flying all over the room and well you know what happened next.
The next morning the two woke up in each other's arms; even though they didn't get much sleep they felt very refreshed.
"Mhm morning." Emily whispered into the crook of Alison's neck with a smile.
"Morning." The blonde replied as she pressed a kiss on the brunette's lips.
"Come on, let's get breakfast." Emily said as she got out of bed and began to pull Alison up; in response, the blonde grunted, she wanted to stay in bed with her girlfriend for just a few more minutes.
"The faster we leave the faster we'll get to sunny California." Emily said with her puppy eyes which Alison couldn't say no to.
"Fine." The blonde said with a huff as she got up and got dressed.
The two quickly grabbed some breakfast and in no time, were back on the road. Eventually after 6 exhausting hours, they finally reached California.
"Finally!" Alison shouted in the passenger seat as they passed a sign saying 'Welcome to California'.
Emily smiled; she couldn't wait to get this vacation started with the person she loved the most. It didn't take them long after that to get to the hotel; they quickly checked in, got changed into their bikinis and headed to the pool. They grabbed two sunbeds and moved them next to each other, Emily grabbed two cold margaritas from the bar and finally after their long but fun road trip they relaxed.
"This is amazing." Alison said as she sipped her cold drink with her eyes closed simply enjoying the sun.
"Come on." Emily said as she grabbed Ali's hand and began pulling her up.
"What? Where?" The blonde asked with a confused expression.
"Into the pool." The brunette replied like it was the most obvious thing ever. Alison grunted but Emily managed to pull her up and push her into the pool; the blonde screamed as she hit the water. Quickly Emily jumped in after her with a laugh.
"Emily Fields, I'm going to kill you." Alison said as she pushed her hair out her face; Emily only laughed as she pulled the blonde closer.
"No, you won't; you love me too much." Alison smiled. "Yeah that's true."
Alison wrapped her arms around Emily's neck and began kissing her; slowly they started going underwater and the scene was becoming more and more like a romantic pool scene you would see in a sappy romantic comedy when the two characters finally decided to get together.
Once the two came back up out of breath they couldn't help but smile; the vacation was already off to an amazing start.
"I love you so much." Alison said as she kissed the brunette again.
"I love you too." Emily said as she began swimming away and splashing the blonde.
"Hey!" Alison shouted as she began retaliating. The two laughed and had a great time; Emily truly missed begin back in the water.
The rest of their vacation was peaceful and amazing; they visited the whole of LA, went to every beach, every museum and every restaurant they could. Neither of them could deny that it was the best vacation that they had in their life and that the 48 hours of driving were totally worth it.
