Alison's POV

It's Christmas in New York, Emily's very first one. We've been dating for a little over two months and we couldn't be happier. Aria invited us over for a Christmas dinner with her and Ezra. They started dating a month ago, and are happier than ever.

I finish curling my hair just as someone knocks on my door. I smile and make my way to the door, knowing its Emily to pick me up. I unlock the door and swing it open. I see my beautiful girlfriend standing in front of me in a champagne colored sparkling dress. Her silver heels making her even taller than me than usual. My jaw drops to the floor and I finally take in her hair and makeup. Emily isn't one for makeup but she's wearing some tonight since it's an important night. Her hair is nicely up and she's the most beautiful girl in the world whether she is in sweats, a dress or her work uniform.

"Hey baby!" I grab her hand and bring her into my apartment.

"Hey gorgeous, you look amazing. I might not be able to let you out tonight." Emily tells me. I blush and giggle slightly.

I am wearing a sparkling red dress, the same length as Emily's with ruby colored heels to add some height. My blonde hair is hanging in curls loosely against my shoulders.

"Thank you, but I cannot compare to your beauty. Seriously, you are too gorgeous right now. I might actually have to keep you in tonight." I smile and press my makeupless lips to her red ones. I smile and so does Emily.

"I'm wearing your gift for me." Emily whispers softly and I look down at her neck. A gold necklace with two hearts, one with EF on it and another with AD on it. Our initials. It was real gold because my girlfriend doesn't deserve anything fake.

"I'm wearing what you got for me!" I hold out my wrist and show her the charm bracelet she got me. It is also real gold and so far it's only got an apple on it to represent New York. I think back to when she gave it to me this morning.

I had just given Emily her necklace and she cried at its beauty. Just as I am getting up to use the bathroom, she pulls me back down.

"Babe, I gotta use the bathroom," I whine. Emily holds out a box to me. It's wrapped up with a cute little bow on top.

"Stop your whining and take this. It's your Christmas present; I thought it'd be pretty meaningful to you." Emily tells me as I open up the box. Inside is a gold bracelet with an apple. I look up at her in shock and confusion. Emily grabs the box and puts the bracelet on my wrist.

"It's beautiful Emily, thank you! It's the best gift anyone could've given me. One question though, what's the apple for?" I ask, still confused.

"The apple represents New York. I know you love traveling and so do I, so I figured that we could add to the charm bracelet every time we go somewhere together. The apple is complete without a single bite, because it's the very beginning. Not even a single bit, or bite I should say, closer to the end!" Emily smiles and I giggle. Tears fill my eyes and begin to cascade my face.

"That's so beautiful and I can't wait to add more charms to it." I say as I pull Emily in for a kiss. The kiss starts of soft, delicate and passionate. It quickly starts to get heavier and our hands begin to search each other's bodies. I pull away quickly and stand up.

"I'm sorry, but we can't. Not yet. I want to wait before we go any further because I want to spend the beginning of our relationship finding out stuff and going out. I don't want it to turn into something so sex based. Believe me, I want to so badly, but I am sticking to my word." I'm breathless and I can tell Emily understands. She doesn't look sad at all. She just catches her breath, nods and leans back. I smile and go to finally use the bathroom.

I smile at the memory as my phone chimes. I rush over to the table and answer it.

"Hello?" I ask. I can hear breathing and laughter on the other end.

"Hey, are you guys on your way yet?" it's Aria. I smile and look at the time. My smile drops as I realize the dinner started 10 minutes ago.

"We are leaving now. We'll see you in 15 minutes!" I hang up and grab my jacket and my gifts for Aria and Ezra. Emily follows me out the door, rushing as well.

"Whoa! Slow down, where's the fire?" Emily calls out as I rush to her car.

"We're late." I call back shivering.

We reach Aria's house in record time and knock on her door. She swings the door open and smiles.

"Hey! Come in! Thanks for coming you guys." Aria tells us, we obey and start to take off our jackets. I inhale and the smells consume me. Ezra comes over and hugs Aria from behind.

"Merry Christmas" Emily tells Aria and Ezra.

"It smells amazing, Aria. Merry Christmas!" I say as well.

"You too! Well, come and eat before it gets cold." Aria orders. Emily and I put our gifts under the Christmas tree and sit down at the table. One by one we pile food on our plates and I can tell it's going to be a good night. There's wine on the table and vodka in the fridge.

I hope you guys enjoyed it and I'd love to hear any ideas or whatever that you have. I read all your reviews :D See ya! I love you guys!
