Always Have and Always Will: - Chapter 7
It had been a quiet Saturday morning at Ali's house a few weeks after they came back from California. Emily had been staying at the blonde's house basically every night, she had most of her clothes at Ali's and was in general basically living with Alison. The blonde obviously had nothing against it; she loved waking next up to the brunette and having her there nearly every minute of the day. However, neither of them had actually mentioned anything about officially moving in with each other.
Alison walked down the stairs in Emily's Sharks t-shirt to the smell of fresh coffee and pancakes. The sight of Emily cooking always formed a huge smile on her face. She leaned against the door and just admired the brunette for a few minutes. Her long brown hair flowed perfectly down her back as she flipped a pancake, she smiled and hummed lightly to herself; Alison's grin grew bigger and bigger with every minute. She simply could not believe how beautiful her girlfriend was.
Eventually Alison moved behind her girlfriend and wrapper her arms around the brunette's waist.
"Morning." The blonde whispered into Emily's ear. Emily leaned back into Alison; she felt so safe and comfortable in her arms.
"Mhm morning." Emily said with a huge smile. Alison kissed the brunette on the cheek and went over to the coffee maker to pour herself a cup of coffee; she couldn't help but smile when her favourite mug was already waiting for her there like it does every morning when Emily wakes up before her.
"So, I was thinking we could go see a movie today and then maybe go out for dinner? You know basically just have a date night." Emily said as she placed the last pancake onto the rather tall pile she had made.
"Sounds great." Ali smiled. Recently they have been having date nights a lot, they both absolutely loved them. It was few hours in which they would completely forget the rest of the world existed; it was just them two having an amazing night without any interruptions.
The two moved over to the dining table and began eating in silence. After all these months Alison was still amazed at how amazing Emily's pancakes were.
"Em?" Alison suddenly said.
"Yeah?" The brunette replied with a smile.
"Move in with me." A huge smile formed on Emily's face as she paused for a second.
"I'd love to." Alison sighed in relief. The brunette leaned across the table and kissed Alison; the blonde couldn't help but smile.
"Where did this come from?" Emily asked after they pulled away.
"Well, having someone make breakfast for me every day is great." The blonde said with a smirk.
"Wow, is that it?" Emily said slightly offended.
"Hmm well there is the fact that I love you a lot and I love having you around 24/7."
"That's much better." Emily said with a goofy grin as she kissed the blonde again.
After a few hours of simply being lazy on the couch with a few make out sessions the two decided to get ready for date night. Neither of them dressed in fancy clothes; for them date nights were all about being comfortable and happy.
At the cinema, they enjoyed La La Land; neither of them liked to admit it but they did love musicals. On the way to the restaurant both of them could not stop humming 'City of Stars'; they literally fell in love with the song.
Funnily enough when they walked into the restaurant a similar tune from La La Land was playing; they both smiled. They sat down at a quiet table at the very back so that they were far away from everyone else.
"So, when should I start moving my stuff to our place?" The brunette asked with a huge grin that Alison mirrored as soon as she heard 'our place'.
"As soon as possible but you are throwing out that horrible green chair from your room." The blonde said with a face of disgust as she thought of the chair which she had never liked.
"Hey." Emily said slightly offended; Alison raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I'll compromise but only because I love you." The blonde smiled and leaned across the small table to kiss the brunette; Emily quickly closed the distance.
As they pulled away a familiar voice said Emily's name. The two looked up to find someone they hadn't seen in months and to be exact; since their first date.
"Paige? I thought you had left Rosewood again." Emily said with a very confused tone. About two weeks after Emily and Alison had the fight about Paige she left and moved to Toronto. She closed her restaurant and hadn't been seen since.
"I decided to come back and this is a nice surprise; you're still with this bitch." Alison's anger began to build but she did not want ruin the night.
"Don't you dare call her that, she is my girlfriend. Say on more bad word about her and you'll regret it." Paige giggled at the threat.
"Wow, you're actually serious about her. Emily Fields, the girl who had a revolving door of girls has settled down. What a shame it's with the Queen Bee of Rosewood."
"Paige, if you have something to say to me say it me not Emily or just leave." Alison finally said as she stood up from her seat to be face to face with Paige.
"Oh, I have plenty to say to you. You're a bitch who has ruined my life and stole someone I love, want me to carry on?"
"Paige, I never stole Emily from you and I don't care whether you believe that or not but it's the truth."
"Whatever, you're perfect for each other; both just horrible, heartless bitches." Paige walked away and neither Emily or Alison could figure out what had just happened. Was confronting them 8 months ago, not enough for her?
"What the hell?" The blonde said as she sat down.
"I have no clue what is wrong with her, it's been 8 months."
"You know what, let's not think about her; today has been a great day and not even she can ruin it." Emily nodded in agreement because Alison was completely right.
For the rest of the night Emily tried to forget what had happened but she couldn't believe that she hadn't seen this side of Paige when they were together. It was a side that she managed to completely bury; if Emily knew about it she would have never stayed with Paige for as long as she did.
As they walked home Alison couldn't help but pick up on Emily overthinking.
"Hey, babe." Alison calmly said drawing Emily out of her thoughts. "What are you thinking about?" Emily sighed.
"Paige and how over the full time I was with her I had never seen that side of her. How is it possible to hide such a horrible personality?" Alison stopped walking.
"Em, you always see the best side of everyone; Paige just used that to her advantage and pretended to be someone she wasn't. Please don't beat yourself up over it, you couldn't have known; no one could have." The brunette nodded and smiled; Alison always had the ability to make Emily feel better about everything. Emily let go of Alison's hand and hugged the blonde; Alison placed her hand around Emily's waist and smiled.
"Thank you." Emily whispered; this made the blonde's smile grow even bigger.
"You never ever have to."
"I love you, so much." Emily said pulling back slightly; Alison smiled and kissed the brunette.
"I love you too"
