Finally, it's date time. I hope you guys enjoy their little date and please remember to let me know what you thought of this new chapter. Thanks!
Emily's POV
"I'm freaking out Han!" I shouted while pacing my room, Hanna sat on my bed with a smug look on her face.
"Just go with the red shirt, I liked that one." Hanna teased because she knows I haven't been on a date in well over a year and I'm freaking out big time.
"None of them are red!" I shouted, making the blonde burst out laughing at my overall nervousness.
"Okay...calm down Em." She finally stood up and made her way over to the closet. "You go and get a shower and I'll work my magic okay?" Hanna suggested, making me let out a sigh of relief. At least I know I will be going on a date dressed like a somewhat decent person.
As I walked into my own personal shower I began to peel my layers of clothes off, I stop at the full-length mirror and look down at my now naked body.
"I'm not in as good of shape as I used to be that's for sure…" I mumbled to myself while patting my stomach. My eyes move to my right shoulder, the rather large scar would be a turn off for most, but I actually like it. I can't help but remember the first time I actually interacted with Alison, she had been checking my wound and I thought it would be the perfect time to make her feel uncomfortable, I remember I just wanted the blonde doctor to leave me alone...boy how that has changed.
I take my time in the shower, I've already had 4 in the last day. I just couldn't wait to get the smell of hospital off my body. I can't help but think about what Alison is doing right now, I know she's not working, I wonder if she's in the shower as well. I suddenly feel a well-known heat growing between my legs, it's amazing what this woman does to me when she's not even here!
Alison's POV
I can't believe I got called into work! I was about to head out to set up my date with Emily when I got the dreaded call. As I'm rushing into the hospital I run into Mona who is practically skipping out of the hospital, ready to enjoy her weekend off.
"Hey Alison, what are you doing here? Isn't today D-day?" She asked once she reached me.
"It's meant to be, but I got called in for a consult." I rolled my eyes and checked the time on my watch. 5 hours until my date with Emily and I have nothing ready.
"That sucks, you're all sorted though, right?" Mona questioned, making me hang my head in shame. I wanted this to be perfect for Emily and now I don't even know if I'm going to make it.
"Not exactly, I was about to head out and set everything up...but I got called in." I nervously ran my hands through my hair.
"That sucks! Is there anything I can do to help? I've got the whole weekend free so I don't mind giving up a few hours to help you out." Mona offered.
"Really? I would owe you big time!" I excitedly grabbed her arms and pulled her in for a hug.
"It's the least I can do for my new friend. So what do you have planned?" She asked while breaking the hug.
It's okay Alison, you've got this. Mona just texted me and told me that she's finally finished setting up. I really owe her a drink after all this, I got out of the hospital about an hour ago, thankfully I had time for a quick shower and I already had my outfit planned or I would have been showing up smelling of a hospital and dressed in scrubs. Mona sent me a few pictures of the setup and she truly did an amazing job, I can't believe we've reached this new level of friendship in such a short period of time. I only wish that I had of given her a chance all those years ago.
Emily had seen me in non-hospital clothes a few times before, but that had been my lawyer meet attire. So I wanted to push the boat out this time, I wore a tight fitting pink dress that hung to my curves nicely, my hair is curled ever so slightly and my makeup is to the bare minimum. I hope Emily likes it.
I'm currently standing outside of Emily's...well Hanna's house. I've been standing here for at least 10 minutes with my hand hovering over the door every once in awhile. I've never been so nervous before, it's not like I've never spent time with the younger woman, I mean we've even slept together...well not slept together slept together, but we've slept in the same bed, and I've seen her semi naked before, obviously I have operated on her and she was unconscious, but I guess it still counts...right? Oh god, why am I overthinking all of this? I fell in love with this woman, so why am I suddenly nervous about seeing her?
"I don't mean to break up whatever it is that is going on in that blonde head of yours...but would you like to I don't know, wait inside?" I jumped as the front door suddenly opened to reveal an amused looking Hanna, with who I now know as Caleb standing behind with a matching smirk on his face.
"Oh...umm yes, thank you." I politely accepted her offer and she leads me inside her large home. I look around to see the walls of their home filled with framed pictures of familiar faces that I have come to know over the last few months. I see pictures of teenage Emily, Hanna, Spencer and another girl that I met briefly when Emily was first rushed into the ER. Over on top of the fireplace, I see a picture of Emily dressed in her official police uniform, holding her detective's shield in hand and a toothy grin in place.
"You scrub up rather nicely Doc." Hanna's voice made me jump in surprise, I had gotten so caught up in the pictures littered around the room that I had forgotten about the blonde and her boyfriend.
"Why thank you Hanna...this is a lovely home you have." I politely nod at the younger woman.
"So Alison...what are your intentions with Emily?" Hanna smirked while taking a seat on a nearby arm chair and gestured for me to do the same.
"Well, tonight I intend to take her on a date…" I turned my face away to had the slight blush creeping onto my face.
"And what about after tonight?" Hanna asked in a serious tone.
"I really like Emily...and I want to make her happy." I wholeheartedly admit.
"The last person who said that ended up breaking her heart, how do I not know that you're going to do the same thing?" Hanna snapped slightly.
"I don't know that I won't, but what I do know is that I care about Emily. I was willing to risk my career just to get to know her...I can't promise that I won't hurt her, but I can promise that I'll try and make her happy for as long as she'll let me." I stopped before I felt myself starting to well up slightly.
"That's all I needed to hear...treat her right Alison, or I'll go all crazy best friend on you," Hanna smirked while standing up. "I'll go and tell Em that you're here...just wait till you see her!" Hanna clapped excitedly before disappearing into another room.
Emily's POV
Okay breathe, scratch that, how am I supposed to breathe in this thing?! I pull on the ends of the dress Hanna talked me into down to try and cover my knees while looking at myself in the mirror. Hanna was right, this is a good color on me. I think as I straighten my dark purple dress before fixing my hair slightly.
"You decent Fields?" I turn to face Hanna as she pokes her head through the slightly opened door.
"Okay, I want your honest opinion before Alison gets here…" I stand with my arms open, slowly I turn around for her to take it the whole dress.
"Wow…" Hanna opened the door fully to enter the room in awe.
"You like?" I asked while nervously twirling the ends of my hair with my fingers.
"I love, you look so beautiful Em." Hanna smiled proudly at me, before rubbing a run away tear away.
"Aww Han, don't cry…" I limped over to pull her in for a hug.
"Sorry, stupid hormones. Your date is here and she looks hot!" Hanna nudged me while laughing off her embarrassment from crying before.
"She's here?! Are you sure I look okay?" I pulled away to look in the mirror once again.
"You're perfect Em...come on." Hanna takes my hand and leads me out of my room.
As I walked into the room I saw Alison standing at the fire place with her back to me, my jaw nearly dropped as she turned around to face me. She was breathtakingly gorgeous and that dress!
"Wow...you look...you look amazingly beautiful…" I mumbled while staring intensely at the blonde woman in front of me.
"Thanks...you look...wow," Alison spoke nervously before walking over to meet me. "Are you ready to go?" She asked sweetly while taking my hand in hers for walking support.
"Ready if you are…" I mumbled while looking down at our entangled hands.
"Now you two kids have fun and don't do anything I would do!" Hanna joked while practically pushing us out the door. As soon as the door slammed I hear Alison clear her throat and squeeze my hand.
"Let's do this…" She leaned over and whispered in my ear, before placing a kiss on my cheek.
Alison wouldn't tell me where we were going once we set off on our journey and I didn't press her for any details. We've been in the car for about 20 minutes now and we've hardly spoken to each other. But it's not an awkward silence, it's refreshing. Every once in a while I would sneak a glance in the blonde woman's direction as she concentrated on the darkening road.
"How has your day off been? I know you don't get a lot of days off, it must have been nice." I talk absentmindedly while turning in my seat slightly to get a better look at the older woman. My eyes can't help but roam all over her amazing body l, stopping at the hem of her dress that has risen up her thighs slightly. I feel myself wanting to lean over and place my hand on her exposed thigh, but I don't have the guts to make such a bold move before our first date has even begun.
"It lasted till about 10 then I got called in for an emergency surgery...what about you? Enjoying your freedom?" She joked while stealing a quick glance at me, before focusing on the road once again.
"That sucks...are you off tomorrow?" I mumbled while sinking down in the seat.
"I wasn't meant to be, but chief gave me the day off after coming in on my day off." She looked over and smiled at me with the sweetest of smiles.
"At least that's something...where are we going, Ali?" I asked, the excitement finally bubbling up inside me.
"You'll see soon…" She gently reached over and took my hand in hers and squeezed it tight as she continued driving. I didn't bother replying, instead, I just held onto the older woman's hand and relaxed back into my seat for the remainder of the journey.
We continued down the darkening road in silence for another 15 minutes, Alison's hand never left mine the entire time. Every now and again she would give me a gentle squeeze or rub my hand with her thumb just to put me at ease. I can't believe we're actually doing this!
"We're here…" Alions smiled sweetly while untangling our hands to put the car in park.
"Umm Alison...this is a forest…" I asked confused with the older woman's location choice.
"All will be revealed very soon…" She replied before squeezing my thigh and hopping out of the car. Quickly she semi-ran around to my side of the car to open my door just as I was about to open it myself.
"Why thank you," I smirked at the blonde woman before leaving over to place a small kiss on her cheek.
"My pleasure…" Alison semi-whispered. Alison takes my hand once again and begins to lead us down a deserted path, surrounded by large trees and littered with muck and rocks. At this time I'm glad I wore ankle boots and opposed to the heels Hanna wanted me to wear. I look down at our connected hands and can't help but smile at how even the simplest of actions can give me butterflies in my stomach.
"Close your eyes…" Alison leans over and whispered in my ear in a low and seductive voice that I've never heard before. I do as she says and she removes her hand from mine to place both of her hands over my eyes for extra measure. We walk like this for a few minutes before she stops us, I stand waiting for her to remove her hands for a few seconds. "Open your eyes…" Alison whispered, with her lips practically touching my ear. Ever so slowly she removes her hands and placed them firmly on my hips instead. I take a much-needed breath and slowly open my eyes. Wow. Thousands of fairy lights are strung up on the surrounding trees forming an unintentional room deep in the forest. In the middle of the 'room' is a simple bunch of blankets spread out to create a floor for us to sit on without worry of ruining our dresses. At least a dozen pillows are scattered around, all different sizes, colors, and textures. In the middle of our own little part of the forest is a huge picnic and a small iced filled bucket, filled with different varieties of beer, soda and a bottle of wine.
"How did you…" I turn to face a nervous Alison.
"Mona helped...do you like it?" Alison asked.
"It's amazing Alison…" I walk over and place my arms around her neck before leaning in to meet her pink lips.
"Let's go and sit down, I hope you like pasta!" Alison giggles excitedly as she laces her fingers in mine and pulls me over to the blanket covered ground.
"Are you kidding? I love pasta!" I reply as she gently pulls me down onto the blanket. She quickly props a couple of pillows against a rock and helps me scoot backward until I am in a comfortable sitting position.
"Ali...this is truly beautiful. I've never had anyone do something as amazing as this before. Thank you." I confessed as Alison pulls over the picnic basket and retrieves two containers of pasta as well as two forks.
"Truthfully neither have I...I was going to take you out for dinner like a normal date, but then I thought that you wouldn't want to be cooped up inside all night. I remember coming here with my dad and brother for picnics when my mom was working weekends, which was basically all the time." Alison's explained as she opened one of the containers. "Here try this…" She stabbed a few pieces of pasta with a fork and then carefully lead it over to my mouth. Slowly I closed my mouth over the fork and let out a small moan as the pasta sauce danced over my taste buds.
"This is really good…" I mumbled while trying to lean over and steal the container from the blonde.
"Not so fast Ms. Fields!" She pulled the container out of my reach. "In my household, it was compulsory for each bite of Grandma DiLaurentis's pasta to he washed down with an exquisite red wine." Alison placed the container of pasta on top of the closed picnic basket and began to open a bottle of what looked to be extremely expensive wine. Without taking her eyes off of mine she slowly poured me a glass and handed it over. Watching closely as I took my first sip.
"Wow...fuck this is almost as good as the pasta! So you made this?" I questioned before taking another sip of my wine.
"Yeah, it's an old family recipe. My dad used to make it every Friday night, he'd call it date night and he'd set up a small table on the patio, with candles and wine, none alcoholic wine for my obviously. Then we'd eat all different recipes that my grandma left behind after she passed, but one was always my favorite. It's plain and simple, but so good at the same time." Alison explained before leaning over to feed me another bite of the heavenly pasta. I was so touched that Alison shared that story with me, she didn't seem like the type to share such intimate details of her past with someone she hasn't known for very long, but I am truly grateful that she felt that she can trust me enough to tell me about her past and even experience moments from her past with me.
"You know I can feed myself right?" I joked with the blonde who was currently taking a bite of the pasta herself.
"I'm aware...I just like doing it." She blushed at my comment before taking a sip of her wine.
"You're too cute Alison DiLaurentis…" I mumbled while leaning over to capture her lips with mine. Mmmmm she tastes like pasta.
Alison continued to feed me and suffered through the teasing because of it, but she didn't seem to mind that much. After we had eaten our way through two containers of pasta we scooted down the blanket so that we could lay down for a little while. Alison lay with her head on my chest and her arm over my full stomach, my arm was snaked around Alison and my other arm was rubbing up and down her arm.
"I like this…" Alison shifted to look up at me.
"Me too…" I placed a small kiss on her forehead before she got comfy again.
"It's getting kind of cold...I think that means our date is coming to an end." Alison sighed as she slowly pushed herself off me.
"Almost…" I gently pull her back down on top of me, she hardly has a second to catch her breath before my lips are planted firmly on hers. We stay like this for about 30 minutes, just contently exploring each other.
After our little make out session, we quickly pack everything up and walk hand in hand to the car. Alison's hand never leaves mine as she drives me home. I can feel her smiling into the kiss as we say goodbye at the door. I really want to invite her inside to continue where we left off in the forest, but I can't, I would never hear the end of it from Hanna and I don't think Alison would want to spend our first night together under the same roof as my best friend who up until a few weeks ago hated her. So I said my goodbyes, over and over as I threaded my fingers through her hair.
"Goodnight Em…" She whispered against my lips before peeling herself off me.
"Goodnight Ali…" I smile sweetly at the older woman before reaching for the door handle and entering the house. As soon as the door is closed, I can't help but fall back against the door.
"That good huh?" Hanna looks up from her magazine and smiles at me.
"Better than good…"
Soooo, what did you think of the date? Let me know what kind of dates you'd like to see them go on in the future. Also did anyone notice the reference to a previous chapter? Let me know!
