Chapter 32 college acceptance

Ali's pov

School has been back for almost a month now and with thanksgiving behind us It is getting close to Christmas. That means it's now the time our college expectance letters are due to arrive and I'm dreading getting mine. spencer was the first to receive hers 2 days ago And She practically ran into my room with excitement. "Alison omg you will never guess what happen" the smile on her face pretty much gave it away. "Did you get into upen spence"? I questioned and all she could do was nod. "Actually I got into all three" she says as she sat on my bed. I crawl over to her before wrapping her in a hug. Congratulations spence, I'm proud of you I say with a half smile and I really am I just can't help but wonder what is taking mine so long. Spencer turned slightly "thanks Ali have you heard anything yet"? I shook my head nope but I'm fine really I'll be lucky if I get into any. Spencer rolled her eyes, "will you please just tell me where you applied"? she gave me her best pleading look but I refused to tell her. No way spencer I haven't told anyone Em included, I'm not telling you anything until I find out. "Fine well when you get your letters maybe then you can help me decided where to go and I will help you. I smiled sure spence, I promise you will be the first to know. Go celebrate with Toby I'm sure he will be just as proud.

When spencer left I changed my clothes grabbed my homework and left in the direction of Em's house. Her mum had invited me for dinner, but she had swim practice after school so she told me she would just meet me there. When I Arrived at the fields house I was surprised to see that I had actually beaten Em. pam greeted me at the door making polite conversation before allowing me to head up to Em's room. promising to send Emily up when she got home. When I entered Emily's room I spread myself out on her bed and decided to get in as much study as I could before she was here to distract me. I couldn't help but notice though three letters that were un open on her desk. Having a pretty good idea of what they were I managed to talk myself out of having a look to see which colleges they were from and respected her privacy. They were covered with a few sets of homework which told me that Em was most likely to scared to open them and had seen them before. I began smiling thinking about how cute she looks when she's nervous, and new that if I had just gotten mine already I would rip it open regardless of what is inside. I didn't even notice her presence in the room until her bed sunk and she sat down. I turned quickly and smiled. Hey babe how was swim practices ? "Mmm it was good but I'm so tired and sore". Em pulled a face before lying down next to me and groaning. I crawled my way on top of her with a smirk. Well maybe I can make it better? I watched as her eyes darkened while nodding her approval. leaning into her I closed the distance between our lips for a kiss, and She moans almost instantly. I smiled Into the kiss at how much I could feel her body relaxing underneath me. The kiss is cut short however when her mum calls use for dinner. I hop up quickly offering her my hand and stiffen a giggle at the sight of her now very frustrated face. "Please tell me we can finish that later" she flashes me her puppy dog eyes and I find myself nodding before speaking. sure Babe whatever you want, i say as I drag her Down The stairs.

After dinner Emily was keen as ever to continue what we were doing before and I let her have her fun before quickly putting a stop to it. Em not tonight okay, as much as I want to and believe me I do your mums home and the doors open. Emily rolls her eyes "okay fine point taken" she says and she creates a distance between us. Em seriously we don't have to sit that far apart she laughs ignoring me before suddenly becoming more interested in her text book. She doesn't attempt to move so I do, leaning closer to her so I can whisper in her ear. I'll tell you what if you behave now once your mums in bed asleep I'll compromise I'll give you a massage. Emily's eyes rise from the textbook and lock with mine. I can tell she is going to be making sure exactly when her mum plans on going to her room. The two of us study for a while but not without me noticing her eyes paying more attention to the three un open letters on her desk. When I Stand up and walk over to her closet pulling out one of her hoodies to wear for bed. I don't even bother to turn around, I just blush when I see her staring straight at me not even bothering to hide it. I walk closer to her in just some bike shorts and a bra waving my hand in her face. Hello earth to Em! What's gotten into you tonight? She looks up at me confused. you have been zoning out and staring at different thing all night "epically me and your desk".

I saw Em's check go red as though she was unaware I had noticed. Babe I'm flattered and all but seriously what's up? Emily sat up and I pulled the top over my head before hopping in next to her. "I got my college acceptance letters 2 days ago but.. I ... Haven't open them". I reached over and laced our fingers together. Em it's ok to be nervous I say wanting to try and make her feel better. "Nervous is an understatement, what if I don't get in at all, what if no one want me, then what? I can't even think about what I would say to my dad, Ali I can't disappoint him". Em look at me your dad is the most understanding human I have ever meet he will still love you just as much if you get in or not. 'She nods "I know and I keep telling myself that but I can't do it I've practically tried to keep myself busy the past 48 hours, thinking that they will some how just go away". Em you and I both know that's not going to happen. "Mmm, I know and that's why I've been looking at my desk for the last hour. I keep telling myself to just do it, do it when your with me that way if it's bad news your here, but every time I go to get up I chicken out". Em blushes and lowers her head. I let go of her hand placing a kiss to her check before walking over towards them and grabbing them myself. I place them in her lap and she looks up at me with a half smile. Em I'm sure your just stressing over nothing any college would be lucky to have you. I think your an amazing swimmer and if they don't want you then it's there lose. Not opening them is just going to make it worse. If you want me to I'll go down stairs and wait for you to say I can come back up, if not then I will stay just know that with or without a college acceptance letter your stuck with me.

Emily looked at me sweetly before grabbing my arm. "Your right like always, I'll open them but please stay I want you to be the first person I tell good or bad. I nodded as she fiddles with the first envelop in her hand. It's a small one with Harvard written on it and when she pulls it out and opens it I can tell just by the sigh that it's not good news. she scrunches it up before placing it on the end of the bed. I lean over and kiss her check for good luck but she doesn't even flinch. I could feel my heart pounding so fast, that you would think it was my letters and when she opens the second one, the one that was the same size as Harvard's I can tell that the y for Yale is taking up half of the page. I new it was another un acceptance, and By this stage She was holding back tears. Not once have I ever seen Em cry. "See" she say while throwing the letter on the floor "I told you it was gonna be bad. I'd rather not open the next one two is enough for tonight" she say and she hands me the last envelop which is much bigger in size and yellow not white. Standford's name is printed on the front and I new that this was the one she really wanted. Em it's your choice babe but I think you should open it, I have a good feeling. she rolls her eyes. "At lest one of us does", she mumbles as she moves closer burying her head in my lap.

"Open it for me, I can't do it" she whisper and I lift her head so she's looking at me. Are you sure I question her and she just nods. "yep it won't sound as bad coming from you" Em lies back down preparing for the worst and I open the envelop crossing my fingers. When to booklets fall out with welcome to Stanford on it along with a folded acceptance letter I smile placing it on the end of the bed. "Ali god say something please" she whispers and I grin even more leaning down and covering her face in kisses. Em babe you did it you got in your going to Stanford, I say and she immediately sits up. " Are you serious Ali"? I just nod and she leans forward to grab the paper her smile growing as she reads the letter. when a tear leaves her eye I'm quick to catch it. She place the letter on her night stand before looking at me. "I actually did it" she whispers and I just nod. yep you did babe, and I'm so happy for you. I move a strand of hair from her face and as my hands brushes her checks I kiss her softly on the lips. Emily is quick to jump out of bed and she looks just as excited as a little kid. she runs down the stairs and I can hear her talking to her mum. When I appear in the kitchen Pam stops hugging her and hugs me.

"Thank god you got her to open them honey, it's been driving me insane" I smile laughing quietly. What can I say it didn't take much convincing Em rolls her eye at me and I watch as she's already logging onto the computer to Skype her dad. when her dad appears on the screen the three of us stand around and say hello. Emily's is quick to tell him the good news. "Dad I got into standford" she smiles and holds up her letter. Wayne grins back at her and blows her a kiss. "that's fantastic Emmy I new you could do it I can't wait to tell my troops". "Thanks dad" Emily blushes and her mum places a hand on her shoulder. How's Texas Wayne"? She questions him and I whisper to Em that I'll be upstairs. Emily returns about 10 minutes later and I smile. "Hey why did you leave"? Oh I just thought I'd give you guys some family time that's all. "Ali that's sweet but you are practically family, even my dad thinks so" i smile well I'm glad that you guys feel that way I'll remember for next time. Emily smiles at me before getting back into bed. "So" she questions me and I instantly hear the change in her voice. "My mums in bed" she winks and I know exactly what she wants. Sitting up I pull the blanket back and motion for her to lie down I walk into her bathroom to grab the lotion and oil making sure to closer the door and hit her light on the way back in. walking over to her bed Emily had turned on the lamp enough that I could see her smooth and tan skin. Em was lying on her stomach and had removed all clothing including her bra except for her lacy black underwear. I felt my stomach twitch inside Me and inhaled a deep breath before climbing on top of her.

Emily's pov

Once Ali left the room I was quick to remove as much clothing as possible the only thing stopping me from being completely naked right now was the fact that she was being serious when she said "not tonight". Although I didn't hear her come back I relaxed into the bed when I felt two legs drape across each side of my lower back. When the lotions was squeezed onto my back I shivered at how cold it was and moaned into my pillow when her hands began removing the nots. Mmm, have i ever told you how much I love you and your hands? I sigh with contentment, feeling my body shake from Ali's cute laugh. "Mmm a few times babe" she says before I feel her place a kiss on each shoulder. Ali continues the massage and I begin drifting in and out of sleep when I hear her asking me to roll over. I do as she says thinking she is done but I see that's she has now removed her own shirt too and her eyes darken as she looks at me. I feel a wet trickle of oil trailing down my chest and I twitch unsure of what she has planed. As she leaned forward her Brest almost touched mine and I have to bite my lip to suppress a moan. All grabbed my arms placing them above my head. "Keep you arms still move them and I'll stop" she whisper and I nod not trusting my voice. I watched as Ali positioned herself on top of me and poured oil into her hands before rubbing them together. As soon as her soft hands cupped my Brest and began massaging them my back arches and I try desperately to not move. I watched as Ali was clearly enjoying the effect this was having on me, and I got lost in the feeling of her hands as I allowed her to massage the full length of my upper body. When the tension started to build in my stomach a moan escaped my mouth and Ali leaned down to silence it with a kiss. before she could break it I deepened it entering her mouth with my tongue, Ali's grip on my Brest tightened and I removed my arms from above my head unable to control myself any longer. I grabbed at her hips forcing her to lie down on top of me and smiled when she didn't fight it. I quickly switched our positions so that she was now the one trapped before reaching over and grabbing the bottle to poure the oil onto her.

I am so going to get you back for that, I grin making sure to take my time when rubbing it into her skin. I then lay down on top of her placing one leg In between hers and began rubbing our chest together. I re joined our lips and when I felt her hands grab my waste I new she was close to ignoring her rule of "no sex tonight" so I stopped and rolled off of her, leaving a now very sexually frustrated Ali. Night babe I smirk before facing her and placing my arm across her stomach. "God I wish your mum was in Texas right now" she groans and I don't even bother to hold in my laugh, you and I both babe you and I both but we seriously do need to sleep. Mmm, k I love you she whisper and I breakout into a silent smile, I love you too.

A week later and practically everyone I care about by now has got there college letters, even Hanna and Aria. Aria got into Hollis to do her arts degree and although Hanna didn't get into a university she did happen to get into the fashion institute she has been taking so much about. Meanwhile with only 3 days left till Christmas break I was beginning to lose hope. That's why when I got home from school today with Em, I was surprised to see spence sitting at the bench with 3 letters addressed to me. I wasn't sure if I was happy or not but I was quick to join her. Finally I whisper mainly to myself but I'm sure the girls heard me. I felt Em wrap her arms around my stomach allowing me to relax into her and When she kissed my check I smiled. Okay I wanna open them all at once sort of like a bandaid, it will hurt less. I passed spencer one, then Em one and left the last one with me. If I was going by Em's a big letter should be good news and a small one should be bad, and if that's the case then it isn't looking good for me as they are all small. Okay guys I applied for upen, Stanford, and Boston. I watch as their faces lit up when they heard that I had applied for at lest one of the same schools as them. I no you probably all think I only applied for Stanford because of Em, and I'm not going to lie I did consider it because she was but upen is different. It has always been my first chose even before I new spencer. Boston was just thrown in for good luck as it was the only other uni that offered both law and journalism. Okay guys on the count of three just help me rip them open. 1...2...3

spencer was holding the Boston letter and when she smiled I new I had got in, when our eyes meet it told me all I needed to know. I then began to unfolded the Stanford letter that was shaking in between my hands, but I didn't have the heart to look at Em when it was not what I was hoping for. Em was holding the upen letter and I watched as spence nervously taped her fingernails on the bench. when Em opened it and two extra pamphlets fell out along with the letter, she didn't even bother to read it just bent down to pick up the welcome to upen pamphlets and handed them to me. I stood there completely still shocked that two of three places had said yes and was only brought out of thought when spencer started jumping up and down hugging me. "Omg Ali you got In, we got in we both did! Please tell me your saying No to Boston, come to upen with me we will have so much fun". I hugged her back laughing at my sister. of course I'll go with you, you don't seriously think I would say yes to Boston knowing your at upen do you? She shook her head. " guess not, thank you I've gotta go tell Paige and Toby I'll see you later guys" spencer yells as she heads out the door and my attention was drawn back to Em who had been quiet ever since. Her head was tilted down so I lift her chin with my hand. Hey what's wrong Em? "what nothing, nothing I just can't believe you applied for Stanford I know that you did it because of me babe" I blush maybe I did babe and I'm sorry I didn't tell you or get in. "Hey none of that matters to me, it's the thought that counts, besides I'm happy for you and spencer at lest now I know you will have someone to look after you". I step closer pulling her by the shirt into a kiss. I Love you Em so much, "I love you to beautiful I promise we will work it all out".

On Friday the last day of school, I was given a lot of holiday homework as if I didn't already have enough. When I got home I walked into my room and added it to the pile on my desk. I love Christmas everyone who has ever meet me knows that it's my favourite holiday of the year, and the last thing I want to do is homework. I spoke to Aria on the way home from school yesterday and after a lot of convincing she agreed to keep her mouth shut about my birthday. Ali and I both have never told each other when they are and I hate it when people make a fuss, so with a lot of if's and buts she finally agreed to keep her mouth shut and still come to mine for a sleepover. it's been our tradition ever since we met, putting up my Christmas tree the night before my birthday and this time we decided to invite Hanna and Ali to make a night of it. We haven't hung out just us four in a while and as Aria would say I am more then excited about it, so I sent Hanna and Ali a text :

Me- sleepover at mine tonight Christmas tree time! See you in an hour xo - Em

Hanna- Oh god your in holiday mode already aren't you? :p

Me- Sure am Han ;) make sure Aria remembers the movies see you soon!

Ali- hmm sounds fun babe but only if you let me put the star on top :p xx

Me- you will have to fight Aria for that babe she's been doing it for years xx

Ali - well I'm sure I can do that ;) I'll see you soon do I need to bring anything?

Me- nope just your beautiful self drive safe 3 xx

Walking down stairs I began to gather all my Christmas boxes and place them in the lounge room. All that was left to do now was wait for the girls and if you thought I was keen already, I can assure you that you ain't seen nothing yet.
