Alison and Emily have been dating for 5 years, they started dating three years after they left college, even since Alison came home after she disappeared when they were in high school all Emily wanted to do was to protect her and love Alison for the rest of her life.
All Emily would think about when she was with Alison was how she could make her happy with each day together but when she wasn't with her Emily would think about the future with her love.
This future included marriage, leaving work after a long day to come home to the woman who held her heart with care and their baby fast asleep in the arms of beautiful blond.
Emily wanted to make the dream future into a reality, so she was on the hunt to create the perfect, memorable engagement to her beautiful blond.
She would need the help of her 3 besties Aria, Spencer and Hanna to find the perfect ring, the location but importantly not to tell Alison.
Emily's POV
I'm sat on Spencer's couch in front of Spencer, Aria and Hanna telling them about me asking Alison to marry me and how I want to ask her. "So, What do you think?" I sat shitting myself what they would say or whether the plan was stupid.
Aria was the first to speak up "So beautiful, I'll help"
I smile and look at Spencer "I'm all about love, so of course I'll help" Spencer says smiling.
Then I look at Hanna hopeing she'll help me the most "Hanna?" Hanna smiles "bout time you asked her... I'll help .. but I'm dress shopping with you.. cause you gotta look hot as fuck"
All the girls laugh at Hannah's comment but Aria , Spencer and Hanna stand up and give Emily a hug.
Then Hanna stands back and says "girls let's go shopping" and starts jumping and clapping her hands.
The rest of the girls look at each other and giggle.
A few hours later
Right now me and the girls minus Ali are looking at dresses for me to wear on the night I ask my beautiful blond to be my wife.
Aria shows me a blue plain long dress, Spencer shows me a purple long with a belt dress and Hanna shows me a short dress sparkly dress "After Ali says yes to you, she'll be dragging you upstairs in this" Hanna says while winking, Aria and Spencer laugh but they agree.
So I go and try the dress on which fits perfectly, then I pay for it and we go for some lunch.
After lunch
Aria looks at her phone "shoot, I've gotta go and meet Ezra, sorry girls" Aria stands, hugs the girls and leaves the mall.
Spencer then stands "I better go check on Toby and make sure the house is still in one piece" Emily and Hanna laugh and Spencer leaves the mall.
Hanna stands up and says "I should go too, my mom asked me to help her at the Radley"
Emily stands hugs Hanna "thank you for helping"
Hanna smiles "if there's shopping involved... I'm there"
Emily shakes her head and smiles and waves Hanna goodbye
In the ring store
As I look at the wedding rings I began to worry about what the staff members thought of me looking at engagement rings but those thoughts were interrupted by an lady who must of been in her 50s who worked here but asking if I was ok I replied "Yes I'm ok thanks just looking" I politely smiles and carry on looking.
The lady spoke again "I hope you don't mind me asking but who is the ring for?" as she looks at me for an answer I'm thinking to myself should I tell her the truth or say I'm looking so I can hint to my boyfriend.
As I think about it, I take a deep breath and say "I'm going to as my girlfriend to marry me" thinking she's going tell me to leave but to my amazement she smiled and said "How wonderful, I've been with my partner for 37 years" I smile as the lady carries on "tell me about your love".
Emily smiles and goes red in the face "Well we met in high school became friends but after everyone left in our French class to go the lunch , Ali showed me some pictures of her recent holiday to Paris, I remember saying 'I wish I could go there' she said 'we can go together' I smiled at Ali and simply asked 'how long?' Ali replied 'how about forever?'" I smile at the memory "in that moment I knew I wanted her to be in my life not just as a friend but the love of my life" I bite my lip in embarrassment as I was so red in the face but the lady smiled "how lovely, shall we have a look " I smile and nod.
About an hour or so later I found the perfect ring to ask my beautiful blond, I pay for the ring, thank the lady who helped me and left the mall with the ring and dress with a huge smile on my face thinking how surprised Ali will be.
