"Emily," Ali groaned, panting. She was still so much slower than Emily when it came to running. "Slow down!"

"Oh come on," Emily teased, but she slowed down anyway.

"You're going faster than normal," Ali commented through her deep breaths.

"No I'm not," Emily denied, but Ali knew that she really was, and that she was doing it to let off whatever steam was left from Paige showing up the previous day.

"Are we almost back?" Ali asked, changing the topic.

"Almost," Emily replied.

They finally got back to the apartment. "Do you want to shower first?" Emily asked.

"How about..." Ali smirked and grabbed both of Emily's hands. "How about we shower together?"

Emily chuckled and Ali pulled her into the bathroom. They hastily removed their clothes and stepped into the shower, turning the water on. In seconds, they had their lips on each other and water soaking their hair and skin. Ali felt Emily's mouth on her neck, and her hands everywhere at once. Despite the cool water, the blonde felt very hot. Of course, she wasn't opposed to feeling that way.

Emily's thigh pressed in between Ali's, rubbing onto her core and getting a moan out of her. "Emily," she moaned out, rolling her head back as Emily continued to suck on her neck. Her thigh was driving Ali's need up, but it wasn't enough. She reached for Emily's hand, which was resting on her hip, and squeezed it in her own hand. Then, she guided it down to her center. Emily got the clear message and began to touch Alison.

Their shower lasted a little longer than it needed to, but both of the girls were pleased and, somehow, clean by the end of it.

"You'll be home by three, right?" Ali asked, as they began to get dressed. It was Wednesday, which meant that they had dinner with Ali's mom later.

"Yep," Emily answered, smiling. Ali retuned the smile. She was honestly a little bit nervous for her mom to meet Emily. Of course, as long as the brunette acted like she always did, who couldn't love her? "Oh hey, by the way, Paige texted me back. We decided to meet up after my work tomorrow, and right before my class with Aria."

Okay, I know this meeting up of Paige and Emily was my idea, but I'm not liking it anymore. "Okay, cool. So she's not stealing too much of my Emily time."

Emily smiled a small, cute smile. "Nope, I'll be all yours after class." She leaned over and pecked Ali on the lips.

"I think you're all mine all of the time," Ali corrected as soon as the brunette had pulled away from her. Emily chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"I guess I am." Emily grabbed her purse and her phone once she was dressed, and the turned to look at Ali. "Do you want to come to the shop with me, or just drive to the Grille?"

"I'll leave in a little while," Ali decided. She gave another kiss to her girlfriend, who said goodbye and then left the apartment. There was something weird about their goodbyes, ever since they first had sexual relations. It was like there was something missing.

Ali was very aware of what it was, but she didn't know the right time to say those words. I love you, Emily, she said to herself. It was true, but Emily couldn't really know until Alison voiced it to her. Unfortunately, she had no idea how or when she should say it. She hadn't done it before. This was all new territory for her, and that wasn't even including being a girl. She hadn't felt this way toward anyone, and now she felt it growing too quickly and too fiercely. She was deep in love with this girl that she'd known for a month.

That happened, right? Falling in love with someone in a month?

Well, it did now.

Alison sighed and started to put on her makeup. She pushed all thoughts from her mind and focused on the complexion of her skin.

EEE

Emily was a little bit nervous to meet Alison's mom, although the blonde herself hadn't seemed to share the same feeling. Ali could be a little intimidating, even if Emily wasn't affected by it anymore. What if her mom was like that, too? Emily had no idea what would happen if Alison's mom didn't like her or approve of her.

Would it change how Alison felt about her?

No, of course it wouldn't do that, you idiot. Alison really likes you.

Emily knew that Ali really liked her, but that's not what she wanted. To Emily, it felt like she hadn't been whole until she met Ali. It was not an easy feeling to explain, but it was her feeling nonetheless. She was head over heels for this girl, and she had no idea if Ali was in the same position with her.

Emily unlocked the door to the coffee shop and breathed in the smell of the coffee. She'd always loved that smell, and now she worked around it all the time. It was soothing, honestly, because it reminded her of working, and when she worked here, it was also her alone time. Sometimes, it was nice to be alone.

Then, the morning rush came in and Emily found herself not so alone. She was really glad that Paige had no idea where she worked, because she had a feeling that the girl would sit in there for hours until Emily talked to her. They'd agreed to have coffee at the Brew the following day, just to talk about things. Emily knew that whatever Paige had to say wouldn't change anything between them, but maybe Paige needed closure to accept that herself.

Plus, Ali had suggested it, and if Ali thought it was the right thing to do, then Emily didn't have much of an objection to it. What would really go wrong with it anyway?

Anyway, Emily was much more worried about meeting Ali's mom than meeting with Paige.

In fact, she went her whole shift worrying about it. She managed to not think about it when she went over to the Grille for her lunch with her girlfriend, but as soon as she was back in the shop, she got intimidated about it all over again.

At two, she passed off her job to the next employee and then drove over to the Brew to grab coffee for her and Ali, before finally heading back to their apartment. It was so easy now that they shared one, because they could split the payment and they both had extra money to spare now.

She got back before three, just like she'd planned, and went into the apartment to find Ali napping on the couch. Emily wasn't surprised, because she'd really pushed the both of them that morning while they were running. Honestly, the brunette had been running on her stress, but it wasn't fair for her to push Ali like that.

She debated whether or not to wake her girlfriend up, but then she decided that it couldn't hurt. She set the coffee down on the small coffee table in front of the couch and then leaned over and placed a soft kiss on Ali's neck. She placed a few more in that area until Ali finally began to stir. She rolled so that she was on her back, and Emily couldn't help herself.

She straddled the blonde and lowered her lips onto Ali's. Ali moaned instantly, likely at the feeling of Emily sitting on her core. Their lips moved forcefully against one another's. "Mm," Ali moaned against her lips. Her hands moved up to Emily's back, but then she pushed Emily off of her. "You feel tense, babe."

Emily sighed and leaned against the back of the couch. "I'm nervous to meet your mom."

"Don't be nervous," Ali insisted. "She will love you, I promise."

She'll love me? No, she won't, because you don't even love me.

Okay, Em, that was harsh. You don't know that she doesn't love you. Maybe she really does love you, and she just doesn't know how to say it.

Whatever was going on in Ali's head, Emily really hoped that she would show it soon.

Ahhh Em is gonna meet Ms. Di next chapter! And omg she's really gonna meet with Paige too D: :S Hmm...

Like it? Please let me know in a sweet little review, or you're welcome to send me a quick PM if reviewing isn't your thing. I'm sorry I haven't updated, Ive been busy with life and I also have my EOC exams as well as my finals coming up and I've been studying and doing homework and projects as the school year draws to a close. Plus I have betaing jobs and such and ugh I feel so bad for not writing as much or being on Fanfiction at all. I've hardly even been on Twitter. Actually, this is the part of the year where it gets like that for me. For some reason, I'm so much more active online in the fall.

I promise I'll do better though ;D Trying very hard to work on my newest Dantana idea as well as my Karmy fic. The Delena thing probably won't happen. Also I just started watching The Fosters and it's really hard for me to tear my eyes away from Netflix because I'm stupid and I get addicted to shows easily XD haha okay, that's not stupid. I'm a teenage girl, whatdya expect? XD

Alright, goodnight loves! Please review :)
