PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

"You're going out on another date with her?" Hanna demanded.

"Is there a problem with that?" Ali snapped at the other blonde over the counter.

"No, I'm just a little surprised," Hanna admitted, as a woman came up to the counter to purchase a shirt that was totally the wrong color for her. Alison held her tongue about it and looked back at Hanna.

"What's so surprising about it? That I would go out twice with the same person?" Ali asked, scowling.

Hanna rolled her eyes as she checked the woman out. "No. It's just... I never thought that you had any interest in dating girls."

Ali's heart rate picked up a little when she heard that. Saying things like that out loud still made her a little nervous. It was a hard thing to get used to, the fact that she was out of the norm. Trying to seem nonchalant, she just shrugged. "Yeah well, I do. And I like Emily."

Hanna gave Alison a smile as she bagged the woman's shirt and slid it across the counter. "Well, as long as you're happy. Where are you taking her tomorrow night?"

"None of your business," Ali snapped.

"Okay," Hanna replied defensively, but then she grinned. "I'm so glad we're all going to get to hang out with her at once on Sunday. She seems kind of shy."

Alison just nodded. Emily did seem kind of shy, but Ali had a good feeling that once she knew all of the girls really well, she wouldn't be as shy. Finally, she answered, "I think it'll be fun. She doesn't really know a lot of people here except for us."

"Didn't she go to high school here?" Hanna asked.

"Well yeah," Alison answered, "but she didn't have a lot of friends."

"I wonder why that is," Hanna said vaguely as someone else came up to the counter to buy some jeans.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ali snapped.

Hanna shrugged. "Nothing. I just wonder why she didn't have a lot of friends. Isn't high school the time when friends are the most important people in a girl's life?"

Alison just shrugged, glancing at the woman checking out with the jeans. They were way too tight for her, but Ali held her tongue again. She looked back at Hanna. "Why are you working the checkout anyway? Don't you manage this place?"

"The new checkout girl for the shift didn't show up. It's fine, it'll come out of her paycheck and slip into mine," Hanna replied with a shrug. "But don't worry, it's almost over, and I don't have to stay any longer."

Alison glanced at her phone. Three. That meant that Emily had been off of work for an hour. Would it seem weird or random if she texted her? Alison, stop being so freaking paranoid that you're going to do things wrong.

"What are you staring at on your phone?" Hanna asked curiously as she started to check out some guy buying a tie.

"Nothing," Alison replied, slipping the phone back in her pocket. She glanced at the guy buying the tie. What was with people and buying horrible choices in clothing? The tie was neon green. When the guy left with his tie, Alison looked at Hanna incredulously. "They sell neon green ties here?"

Hanna shrugged. "I don't own the place, Ali, I just manage it."

"Ugh, this is why I don't shop here," Alison muttered. "Are we going to grab takeout?"

"Text Spencer and see if she wanted it," Hanna answered. "Otherwise, I have stuff we can eat at my place."

Alison nodded and took out her phone to text Spencer.

To Spencer- Do you want takeout?

From Spencer- Toby got back early. Won't make it to Hanna's. See you Sunday.

"She's not coming," Ali told Hanna.

"Why not?" the other blonde questioned.

Alison raised one of her eyebrows suggestively. "Toby just got back early."

Hanna smirked. "No need to guess what they'll be doing all afternoon." Alison smirked as well and glanced back at her phone. "Is Aria coming to my place?"

"No," Ali replied, "she has to stay late for a parent conference about a little boy who won't stop biting the other kids."

"I'm sure she'll have fun with that," Hanna commented. Suddenly, a girl wearing the store's t-shirt approached them.

"Hey, the new girl didn't show?" she asked Hanna.

"Nope. I'm gonna go, call if something needs managing," Hanna told the girl, before grabbing her purse and her phone and walking out from behind the counter. She looked to Alison. "So it's just us tonight?"

"Guess so," Alison replied. "I'll meet you at your place, after I grab Em's key."

"Her key?" Hanna questioned.

"Her water keeps not working, so I'm getting a key to my place made for her," Ali replied. "It's no big deal. I'll see you when I'm done."

"Wait, Ali," Hanna called. Alison turned and raised an eyebrow, asking Hanna what she wanted. "Emily can come to my place if she doesn't have anything to do."

Alison smiled at Hanna. "Okay, I'll ask her."

Now she was just a little more excited about going to Hanna's.

EEE

After Emily got out of her work, she'd had no idea what to do. Her life suddenly seemed so boring without classes to go to, and tests to study for. So, seeing no other option, she just went back to her apartment.

Around three-thirty, she got a text message from Alison.

From Ali- Hey you! I just got your key to my place made (:

To Ali- Oh, great. (: When can I pick it up?

Emily hoped she could pick it up soon, because she really wanted to see Alison soon. It was like she and the blonde were tied together, and once they got too far apart, it was painful. Even if they had only known each other for less than a week.

From Ali- Now, if you want. I'm about to go to Hanna's. I can give you the address and you can come hang out with us?

Emily bit back a grin. She would love to go hang out with Alison some more. It would be different, around Hanna, but at least she knew Hanna. She'd seemed pretty nice before, when she was helping Emily with her clothes and hair and makeup.

To Ali- Sounds fun. (: What's the address?

She first got a text with the address, and she grabbed her purse and her keys and got ready to leave her apartment, before she got a second text.

From Ali- One condition! You have to pick up the takeout.

Emily was pretty sure she'd go through any and all conditions to see Ali, so this didn't seem so bad.

To Ali- Deal.

Emily knew where the good places to pick up takeout were. She used to get some every time her mom was working at the station late.

So she left the building, hopped in her car and headed for a Chinese place. Alison texted her what she and Hanna wanted, and Emily placed the order. She only had a wait a few minutes before they had it all neatly put into two paper bags, and then she headed for the address that Alison gave her.

When she parked outside the apartment building, she grabbed her stuff and the takeout and headed to the front entrance. She looked for the buzzer that said "Hanna Marin", since it was the only Hanna listed, and waited to hear something through the microphone

"Emily?" came Hanna's voice.

"Yep, I come bearing takeout," Emily replied. The door buzzed, signaling that it was unlocked, and Emily quickly grabbed it and entered the building. She went to the apartment number that Hanna's name had been listed next to and knocked on the door.

Ali opened it, and greeted Emily with a wide smile. "Hey!"

"Hey," Emily returned, giving Alison a smile. The blonde opened the door wider, letting Emily into the small apartment. "Hey, Hanna."

"Hey, Em!" Hanna greeted. "Mm, bring the food! I'm starving!"

Emily brought the takeout over to Hanna, who was sitting on a couch. There wasn't room in the apartment for any sort of table and chairs, but there was a coffee table in between two love seat couches. Emily handed Hanna he food, and sat on the couch across from the one Hanna was sitting on. She was pleased when Ali sat next to her.

"Are you liking it back in Rosewood, Emily?" Hanna asked, giving her a smile.

"Yeah. It's a lot better than I remember it, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm not in high school anymore," Emily answered.

"You didn't like high school?" Hanna wondered, as she split up the orders in the takeout bag and passed each person what they ordered.

"No. I liked college a lot more," Emily admitted.

"I bet you were one of those big party girls," Alison bet.

"Why do you say that?" Emily asked, giving her an odd look. Thinking back, she had gone to a lot of parties. She used to say it was because her roommate or Paige was dragging her out, but she had enjoyed them.

"Because, the girls who seem shy are usually the wildest ones," Alison told her, giving her a suggestive smile that made Emily blush. She thought back to when Ali was helping her unpack, and she saw Emily's underwear.

"Well, I did go to a lot of parties," Emily admitted, looking down at her food as she started to eat. "But I didn't throw any."

"What did you get your degree in?" Hanna asked.

"Uh, I actually was studying swimming to like... be a coach," Emily explained. "But my mom told me that Rosewood High is a little short staffed lately, and that all of the coaches have to teach a class, too. I can't teach there until I finish my teaching degree in something else. It should only take one semester."

"You should enroll at Hollis for their summer classes," Ali piped up.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking about doing," Emily agreed.

"Aria said that she's going to go back to school in the summer classes, too. She said she wants to finish a class that will let her teach high school kids," Hanna said.

"I bet she finally got tired of the snotty little kids," Alison said with a laugh. "I don't blame her. But at least the way she works right now, she only has to teach in the afternoon."

They finished up eating while talking about Hollis and about jobs. It was nice to see Alison interacting with other people. She was different than when she was just around Emily. More aware of what else was around her, and her voice and words came out a little harsher sounding sometimes, but always when they were directed toward Hanna. Emily never heard Alison sound at all rude when she was talking to her.

She took that as a good sign.

After awhile, she decided that she should probably head home. "Are you sure?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah. Thanks for letting me hang out, though," Emily thanked.

"No problem."

"Oh, hey, Em," Ali said, reaching in her pocket and producing a green key. "Here."

"Why is it green?" Emily asked, taking the key from the blonde. Alison's cheeks turned a little rosy.

"I uh... when you gave me your keys earlier, I saw they were color coded. You didn't have a green one," Alison answered. Emily smiled.

"Thanks," she said with a chuckle. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yep, see you," Alison answered, and Emily gave her another smile, and gave Hanna a wave, before she left the apartment.

AAA

Alison turned back around and saw Hanna raising an eyebrow at her. "I saw that blush."

Ali rolled her eyes. "I didn't blush."

"Uh huh," Hanna returned, smirking. "Sure you didn't."

"Lay off, Hanna," Alison snapped, sitting back down on her couch. "Turn on a movie or something."

"What do you wanna watch?" Hanna asked. "One of those cheesy love movies?"

Alison huffed. "Okay, I'm leaving if you're just going to tease me forever."

"I'm sorry!" Hanna exclaimed with a laugh. "I've just never seen you look at someone like you look at her."

"Which is how?" Alison demanded.

"Like you really, really care about her," Hanna answered, shrugging. "It's just a side of you I haven't really seen. Pick a movie."

Ali sighed and went into Hanna's bedroom to find a movie. She made a point of not picking any of the love story movies. She didn't need any more teasing from Hanna.

Even though she had every right to be teased. She knew she was already falling for that beautiful brunette that had just come into her life.
