Hellllooo my beautiful Emison babes. I'm so excited to be back! This is a long chapter to make up for me being gone for so long! I want to say thank you to everyone who congratulated me on my wedding. I am officially a wife and have a wife (crazy shit)! My little closeted 15 year old self would be screaming right now if I told her lol. I wish I could show ya'll the wedding pictures because they're beautiful! Also, thank you for your input about me writing mature content. I am still debating on it, but I think I'm going to leave a rated M warning beforehand when we get to that point. Another thing, I don't have a personal twitter account anymore, but I have been considering making an account on there for us fanfic friends to connect. Does anyone here still use twitter lol? Alrighty folks let's dive back in. This chapter will be in Alison's POV. Enjoy!
In response to the reviews: •tflpellc , Hi and welcome! Thanks for your kind review and well wishes! Hope to see you next time. •Packersgirl492 , Now that the wedding craziness is over, I will definitely give those shows a shot. Thanks for the recs, and I'll let you know what I think later! Anywho, I love writing their cute little banter and back and forth teasing. It's been some of my favorite parts so far. There's still tension between Pam and Emily, and I definitely won't gloss over that fact as we continue. Lol you now have me thinking about a Pam run-in situation...I may use that idea of yours later (if that's okay with you?). Alison knows what she wants, but keeping Emily a secret might prove to be difficult and cause some issues. I loved Emily running into everybody at the school. Alison's bitchiness was mainly due to jealously, but it was still rude nonetheless. We'll see a little bit of that behavior come out later as well. I'm right there with you...I wish they could live in the fluff haha. There's still plenty more of that to go around though;) Thank you for your advice as well. I think a lot of us Emison fans tend to picture them like they were in the last season: adults, married, and def sexually active haha. As always, thanks for your reviews. I love hearing from you! I'm curious...have you ever been to a game at Lambeau field? I'm currently looking at tickets for the Packers/Broncos game in Denver this fall. It'll be my first NFL game to see in person so I'm stoked. However, it looks like I'm going to have to sell my metaphorical left nut to get good seats lol. PS, Lmk if the dissertation committee approves your proposal! Wishing you luck! •To the Guest who reviewed, Hi! I'm glad to be here, and thank you for your kind welcome. I hopped back onto fanfiction a year or so ago and saw that our little Emison fandom needed something fresh! So I took matter into my own hands lol. There's one newer story right now that I love...it's titled Seasons of Love by Forever without him. If you need another story to read, two of my absolute fav Emison fanfics are Hand In Hand by UnstoppableGirl, and Moments by TheHauntedTwilight. You can find those in my favorite stories. Thanks for your input! Hope to see you next time.

Chapter Thirteen: Stuck With Me
"You are not more than I can handle. Even if you come with a suitcase full of insecurities, I will still want to know you. Even if there are days when you are crying and don't believe in your worth, I will still want to hold you. I know you have struggled; so have I. I know that things are hard on you; me too. But it doesn't change how big your heart is. I am old enough to make my own choices, and I choose you."
-a poem from Pillow Thoughts 2 by Courtney Peppernell.
A week after their first date,
Alison was walking into the school on a Friday. She had a pep in her step and was smiling to herself, thinking about Emily. The two of them were so busy with school and work over the last week that they barely had time to see one another. To make matters worse, their manager somehow didn't schedule them together, so the two didn't even have time to spend with each other there. Alison would call Emily after either one of them got off of work, but it was starting to drive the blonde crazy not seeing her. Finally, last night, they both had the evening off and were able to hang out. Alison's mother left early yesterday morning to visit her grandmother in Georgia for the weekend. So, Alison invited Emily over to her house after the brunette was done with swim practice. The blonde dug through her locker absentmindedly, thinking about yesterday evening:
Alison was running around like a mad woman trying to get her room looking nice before Emily arrived. For some reason, the blonde felt nervous to have Emily over to her house for the first time. She grabbed all of her dirty clothes off of the floor and threw them into the laundry room. As she walked out of the kitchen, she heard a knock on the door. Perfect timing. Alison ran over to the door excitedly, and opened it up quickly. "Hi," Emily greeted with a big smile on her face. "Hi," Alison responded back and pulled Emily into a big hug, "Did you miss me?" The blonde asked into Emily's ear. The brunette started giggling and pulled out of the hug, "Of course I did," Emily replied, "Did you miss me?" The brunette retorted. Alison grabbed her hand, "So much," she answered. Emily smirked, "How much?" The brunette questioned, still standing in the doorway. Alison tugged on Emily's hand, pulling her into the Dilaurentis' home. She leaned up to Emily's ear while closing the front door, "I'll show you just how much in just a minute," she whispered seductively. Emily drew in a breath, redness covering her cheeks. Alison grinned up at her, and gave her a wink for good measure. "Come on," the blonde directed, "Let's go up to my room."
The two girls were ascending the stairway, giggling, when Jason walked out of his room. "Alison I- Oh hey. I'm Jason," he greeted while smiling at Emily, "You're not Hanna." Emily shyly smiled, "I'm Emily. Nice to meet you." Jason leaned up against his bedroom door, "You sure you want to hang out with Alison? I'm the way more fun DiLaurentis," he said flirtatiously. "Okay ew! Shut up Jason. She's literally my age," Alison snapped back. Jason rolled his eyes before looking back to Emily, "I'm throwing a big party tomorrow night since our mom is gone. You're definitely invited," he said. "Wait what? You're throwing a party?" Alison asked. Jason nodded, "Yup." Alison crossed her arms over her body, "Like hell you are. I don't want some of your gross college buddies fucking some girl in my room," she retorted. Jason sighed, "Just lock your door. You can bring your friends if you want," he offered. "Well I'm not helping you clean up. That's on you," Alison replied, "Come on Em, let's go." Alison grabbed Emily's hand and guided her towards her bedroom.
Once they got in her room, Emily walked around slowly, taking in every detail. "I love your room Ali," she said quietly, "It's very you," the brunette complimented. Alison shut her door and locked it, walking up behind Emily who was looking at the items on the blonde's vanity. Alison pressed her front up against the brunette's back, wrapped her arms around Emily's waist, and rested her head on the shoulder blades of the brunette's. Emily sighed and leaned her head back, enjoying the feeling of their bodies pressed together. "You smell good," Alison breathed out, tightening her arms around the front of Emily from where she stood behind her. Emily turned around in Alison's arms, smiling down at the blonde. She reached her hand out and moved a lock of Alison's hair behind the blonde's ear. Alison grinned up at her, "So, do you want to come to that party?" The blonde asked with her hands wrapped around the brunette's waist. "I have my swim meet tomorrow," Emily answered while grabbing Alison's arms and moving them up to her own shoulders. "You like my arms on your shoulders huh?" Alison asked, smiling with her dimples. "Mhm," Emily replied. "I'm going to your swim meet still," Alison said, "Just come home with me after. You, me, and Hanna can hang out before the party starts." Emily moved her hands around Alison's waist, "Ali, you know my mom...there's no way she's going to let me go to a party," Emily replied. "She doesn't have to know you're going to a party. Just tell her you and I are having a sleepover," Alison whispered, inching her face closer to Emily's.
Emily's eyes flickered down to the blonde's lips. Gotcha. Alison grinned devilishly, "I know you want to kiss me," she teased. Emily giggled, "I always want to kiss you," the brunette replied. Alison ran her fingers along the nape of the back of the brunette's neck, caressing the skin under her hairline. "Then what are you waiting for?" Alison asked in a hushed tone. "What about your brother?" Emily asked, trying her hardest not to let Alison's teasing effect her. "Oh please. He's so stoned all of the time he couldn't even tell you what our conversation 5 minutes ago was about," Alison replied. Emily glanced back to the blonde's closed and locked door, and then swiftly grabbed the back of Alison's legs. The blonde squealed in surprise from being hoisted up off of the ground. Emily spun the blonde around and gently sat Alison down on top of her vanity, standing in between her legs. Alison started laughing and wrapped her arms back around Emily's waist, "I thought you said you weren't strong enough to carry me," she joked. Emily smiled down at the blonde, "I lied," she answered. Emily cupped the blonde's face and leaned down, connecting their lips in a soft kiss. The brunette pulled away, looking at the blue eyes that were glimmering up at her. "Well you can pick me up anytime you want...it's sexy," Alison whispered back seductively. The blonde reached up and grabbed the back of Emily's neck, bringing her back to her lips. She used her other hand on Emily's waist to pull the brunette forward until their bodies were flush against each other's. Despite sitting below Emily, Alison guided the kiss, not letting Emily get control. Alison spread her legs open wider, giving space for Emily press her body impossibly closer to hers. The brunette tried slipping her tongue into Alison's mouth, but the blonde pulled back slightly, still keeping their lips together, but not allowing Emily access to deepen their kiss. Emily huffed lightly against the blonde's mouth, trying once again to slip her tongue past Alison's lips. After Emily's second attempt was denied, she pulled back and opened her eyes, looking in question at Alison. The blonde had a huge smirk on her face. "You're a tease," the brunette whispered, her frustration building. Alison giggled, but her smile was quickly replaced by a serious look that made Emily blush. "What are you going to do about it?" The blonde asked lowly.
Alison tilted her head up ever so slightly, looking up at Emily and batting her eyelashes. Emily placed one of her hands on the vanity beside Alison's left hip, leaning forward until her lips were brushing against Alison's. Alison's smirk disappeared when the brunette used her other hand to gently tilt up the blonde's chin. Alison's breath faltered, and Emily smirked before leaning to the side and connecting her lips onto Alison's throat. Alison slammed her eyes shut and gripped the vanity with her hands that she was sitting on. Emily slipped her tongue out and lightly licked the blonde's pulse point. "Em," the blonde moaned her name out. Emily, determined to make Alison fold, started sucking on her neck, feeling Alison's heart beat speed up under her lips. Oh god.The brunette switched from sucking to running her tongue along the place her mouth was previously on, getting Alison's neck wet. She breathed lightly onto the wet spot on Alison's neck, making the blonde inhale a deep breath. Alison moved her hands and laced her fingers into Emily's hair, gripping it tightly. Emily moaned onto the blonde's neck from the feeling of Alison's fingers running along her scalp. God I can't take this anymore. I need to feel her skin. "Em..." Alison whispered through heavy breaths, "Take me to the bed," she demanded. Emily peeled her lips off of Alison's neck, making eye contact with the blonde. Emily made a barely audible gasp once she saw the look in Alison's eyes. The blonde's face was completely flushed, and her eyes were darkened with lust. I want you. Alison reached up and grabbed Emily's face, pulling her back to her lips. This time, Alison freely gave the brunette access to the inside of her mouth. Right when she felt Emily's tongue brush up against her own, she felt two of Emily's hands slide under her thighs. Emily lifted her up off of the vanity, gripping the blonde's legs tightly to keep her steady. Alison kept her lips pressed against the brunette's, moving her mouth passionately onto the tanned girl's lips. As soon as Emily turned towards the direction of the bed, Alison wrapped her legs around the brunette's waist, helping Emily carrying her. Just as Emily reached her destination, Alison pulled away from their kiss. Emily stood by the bed, with the blonde still in her arms. "You're so fucking hot," Alison breathed out, chest heaving. Emily let out a laugh, "Oh yeah?" She asked, grinning at her. "Mhm," the blonde hummed through swollen lips. Alison bit her bottom lip, teasing Emily, and watched her brown eyes darken with desire.
In response, Emily gently laid Alison down onto the bed and crawled on top of her. Emily had her hands pressed into the bed by the sides of Alison's head, keeping herself held above the blonde. Okay. We haven't ever gone this far before. What do I do now? Alison watched as Emily's brown eyes soften slightly from their previous look of hunger and lust. I always know what you're thinking. Alison smiled shyly and reached a hand up to her tan cheek, running her fingers over the soft skin. "We don't have to do anything that you're not ready for," Alison said sweetly and quietly. "I-I haven't ever..." Emily responded with her voice trailing off. "I know. Me either," Alison comforted, "We are learning this together. We'll know what feels right and what we're ready for...or not ready for. There's no pressure. Just let me know how you're feeling, okay?" Alison asked, gently tracing her fingers over Emily's cheeks.
"Are you...? Do you feel...? I-never mind..." Emily stumbled over her words, getting shy. "Am I what?" Alison asked softly, running her other hand up the brunette's arm. Emily closed her eyes for a moment, clearly feeling embarrassment. "Em...am I feeling what?" Alison asked again after the brunette didn't respond. "It's stupid," Emily replied, avoiding eye contact with the blonde. "Hey," Alison said, "Look at me. Nothing you have to say is stupid. Tell me," she requested kindly, her voice soft. "Do you feel that...that feeling between your legs?" Emily asked, her cheeks getting redder. Alison giggled, smiling up at the brunette hovering above her. "You mean am I turned on?" The blonde asked. Emily nodded in reply. Alison felt a swell of love for Emily wash over, like waves crashing against the shore. You are so cute. God I love you. "Babe, you turn me on just by looking at me," Alison replied, her seductive tone returning to her voice, "I promise you, I'm more than turned on right now. My body lights on fire when you touch me," she admitted. Emily lips curled into a big smile. "What?" Alison questioned, starting to feel embarrassed by her admission. "You called me babe," Emily answered, her smile still dancing across her face. Oh my god I did. I didn't even realize I said that. It just came out of my mouth. "Was that okay?" Alison asked, feeling herself getting shy now. Emily leaned down and pressed a soft, gentle kiss on Alison's lips. Emily lifted her head up, keeping her face inches above the blonde's, "Yeah," she whispered low and sultry. Alison felt a wave of heat shoot straight down between her legs in response to Emily's tone. She grabbed Emily's cheeks and pulled her lips back onto hers. Emily slowly lowered her body onto Alison's, releasing the tension in her arms that were holding her up. Alison moaned against the brunette's mouth, a little too loudly, from the feeling of Emily's body pressed up against hers. The brunette pulled back, and as Alison opened her eyes, she saw Emily smirking.
Nuh uh. You don't get to be smug. Alison gripped the left side of Emily's hip, and in one swift motion she swung a leg over the back of Emily's thighs, giving herself leverage to flip the brunette onto her back. Alison was now the one who had her hands pressed onto the bed beside Emily's face. Alison was smirking down at the shocked girl. "When did you learn how to do that?" Emily asked, her mouth parted from breathing heavy. Alison shrugged, "Just now," the blonde answered. Alison took in Emily as she laid below her, her brunette hair splayed out onto the duvet, her chest moving up and down rapidly, and her cheeks red. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I never want to forget this moment. Emily propped herself up on her elbows to give herself closer access to Alison. The blonde leaned down an inch and pressed their foreheads together, grinning down at the girl below her. "Guess what?" Alison asked with a smile, feeling giddy and over-consumed with the amount of love she felt for Emily. "What?" Emily asked back. "I'm so in love with you," Alison answered in a whisper. Emily smiled, "I love you too Ali," the brunette murmured sweetly.
Alison's sweet smile morphed into a smirk. The blonde sat up from leaning over Emily, to sitting directly on Emily's hips. She watched as Emily stared at her, confused as to why the blonde moved. Alison purposefully moved her own hips down, putting all her weight onto the place she knew would drive Emily crazy. Alison got the reaction she wanted when Emily closed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows from the pressure Alison put on her. The brunette's smile was completely gone now. Her eyes fluttered open, watching Alison above her. Emily's mouth was parted slightly as she became completely entranced by the blonde. Alison reached her hands down to the hem of her own shirt, slowly pulling it up and over her head, leaving her topless aside from her blue laced bra. "Ali," Emily breathed out and hesitantly put her hands on Alison's thighs that were straddling her, "You're so beautiful," she whispered. Alison felt her heart beat speed up as she watched Emily's eyes graze over her body. God I love when she looks at me like that. I never want her to look at anyone the way she looks at me.
Watching Emily's eyes glaze over her with desire spurred something inside of Alison. The blonde grabbed Emily's hands that were placed on her thighs and gripped the brunette's wrists. She moved forward on top of Emily, placing the brunette's arms above Emily's head on the bed. Alison moved one hand away and kept her other holding both of Emily's wrists. Emily's breath was slow and heavy, the two of them sharing oxygen with their mouths almost touching. They looked into each others eyes for a moment, and leaned in simultaneously, connecting their mouths in a passionate kiss. Alison loved the feeling of being on top of the girl. She felt Emily's wrists try to move out of her grip on the bed. Alison tightened her hand around the tan hands, keeping them trapped. The blonde shifted her hips from her position on top of the brunette, sliding a thigh in between Emily's legs and pushing down with pressure onto the brunette's center. Emily gasped into her mouth, causing Alison to smirk against her lips. I love having power over her. I love hearing the sounds she makes. I want to hear it for the rest of my life.
Alison slowly and purposely kept moving her leg that was in between Emily's legs, causing the brunette to moan against her lips. The blonde slipped her tongue into Emily's mouth, swallowing her moan. Alison was so distracted by kissing her, she had no time to react to Emily yanking her hands out from under the blonde's grip. The brunette mirrored Alison's previous move and flipped the blonde back onto the bed. Emily started kissing on the blonde's neck again causing Alison to squeal and laugh. God I love her. I love her so much it hurts. Emily pulled back and looked into her blue eyes, saying nothing. Alison smiled sweetly and lovingly at her, and watched as Emily repeated the same movements. She sat up onto Alison's hips, pulling her own shirt off, exposing her tan, caramel skin. The girl had on a plain black sports bra. You are perfect. Every single inch of you is perfect. Emily swiped some of her own hair to the side, visibly getting shy from the blue eyes roaming over her. Alison reached up and put her hands on Emily's exposed hip bones. "You're the most beautiful girl in the whole world," Alison murmured, trying to give the brunette some confidence. Emily shook her head. "You are," Alison said firmly, but lovingly, "I wish you could see the way I look at you through my eyes," the blonde added. Emily smiled softly, still saying nothing. "Hey...we don't have to go farther than this, okay? I want you to be comfortable," Alison said while rubbing her fingers over Emily's naked sides. "Do you...want to go further?" The brunette asked quietly, finally speaking up. Alison grabbed Emily's hands and held them on her bare stomach. "I only want to do what you want to do," Alison answered, "Don't get me wrong...I want to...you know...but I wouldn't ever push you to do something you're not ready for. Do you...want to go further?" Alison asked looking up at her while playing with their fingers. "I want to too...but I don't think I'm ready yet," Emily admitted. "That's okay," Alison said softly, "I would love for you to come kiss me though," she said, grinning up at the brunette.
Emily smiled and crawled back over Alison, pecking the blonde's lips. Alison reached up and grabbed Emily's cheeks, pulling her back into a deeper kiss. Emily held herself above the blonde, moving her mouth gracefully over Alison's. The blonde moved her hands to Emily's back, pushing down on her bare skin, silently asking the brunette to lay fully on top of her. Emily obliged and laid down, pressing her body onto Alison's. They both moaned into each other's mouth from feeling their skin touch. Alison ran her fingers up and down Emily's back, hesitating over the clasp of Emily's bra. Stop. Control yourself. She's not ready. Emily moved one of her hands over the side of Alison's cheek, rubbing her fingers over the pale skin. Suddenly, Emily repeated the same move Alison did again, moving her legs from the straddling position, and placed her thigh in between Alison's. Oh god. She can't tease me like this. I can't handle it. Emily glided her thigh onto Alison, causing the blonde to remove her lips from Emily's. She threw her head back onto the bed, breathing heavily and trying to control her desire to strip Emily of her clothes. After the blonde exposed her neck, Emily took full advantage and starting placing kisses on her pulse point, stopping occasionally to suck lightly on the skin. "Em," Alison spoke with desperation, "God..." she moaned out. The pressure building deep in her stomach started becoming unbearable. The blonde knew she was wet, and she was nervous Emily could feel it on her thigh. Emily had on short athletic shorts, but Alison had on thin leggings. I feel like she's going to make me orgasm without even touching me. Oh god that would be so embarrassing. Alison's thoughts were cut off by the brunette biting down lightly on her neck. "Emily," she moaned, "Kiss me," she breathed out, repeating the same words she spoke the very first time they hooked up.
Alison didn't give the brunette much of a choice. She grabbed Emily's head and pulled her up to her lips, kissing her with an aggression she had never shown before. Alison's fingers found the clasp of the brunette's bra again, tempting her own self beyond measure to undo it. Before Alison could move forward, a phone started buzzing on her vanity, causing Emily to pull away and look back to see who's phone was ringing. Oh my god not right now. Alison pulled Emily's face back to hers, "Ignore it," she said lowly through the kisses she was placing on her lips. "Ali," Emily mumbled through the kisses, "It might be my mom." Alison huffed in frustration and let go of the brunette, allowing her to go get her phone. Alison put her hands over her face as Emily walked over to pick up the call. I've never been more turned on in my entire life. Holy shit. She looked back to Emily as she watched her speak into the phone: "Hey mom" "I'm at Alison's" "Right now?" "Okay" "I love you too" "Bye". Alison rolled onto her side on the bed, "Please don't tell me you have to leave right now," she complained. Emily smiled and walked back over to Alison, picking up her shirt she tossed onto the bed, "I do. I'm sorry," the brunette said. "You didn't even try to put up a fight with her," Alison grumbled, feeling extremely sexually frustrated. Emily went to put her shirt back on, but Alison grabbed her hands and stopped her from dressing. "Stay," she pleaded, batting her eyelashes like a little kid asking for sweets. Emily giggled, "Ali, if you want me to come over for the party tomorrow, I have to be on my mom's good side," she explained. Alison groaned in frustration and let go of Emily's hands. She threw herself back onto the bed dramatically, "You sure know how to frustrate a girl," she said complaining again. Emily pulled her shirt over her head and crawled back over Alison who had her hands over her face, "Has anyone told you that you're dramatic?" Emily teased. Alison pouted her lips, and glared at the brunette, "No. Not ever," the blonde said firmly. Emily's lips curled into a smile, and eventually Alison caved and grinned back, "Okay. Maybe, but I have my reasons," the blonde retorted, "You're leaving me high and dry." Emily giggled and pecked the blonde's lips. The brunette had her mouth right above Alison's, "Mhm...I don't think you're that dry," the brunette whispered seductively. Alison opened her mouth in shock and smacked Emily on her arm, "Shut up!" She exclaimed, feeling heat on her cheeks. Emily pecked her again on the lips, "I'm not dry either," she admitted before immediately hopping off of the bed and walked over to her bag. Oh.
Emily glanced back to the blonde who was now sitting up on the bed. She smirked, knowing she left Alison speechless. Emily started digging through her bag, "Would you forgive me if I told you I got you something?" The brunette asked. Alison tugged her own shirt back over her head, "What did you get me?" The blonde asked, her curiosity spiking. She watched as the brunette pulled out a big blue hoodie. Emily held it up to show Alison: it was a Rosewood Sharks hoodie with Fields printed on the back. "It's one of my old hoodies. I figured you might like it," Emily said while handing it over to the blonde, "You don't have to wear it to my swim meets or anything, but it's yours," she added, smiling shyly. Alison took it from Emily's hand, feeling her heart flutter, "Really?" She asked quietly, "You're giving to me?" Emily nodded in response, before leaning down and kissing her, "I really need to go though, okay? I'll ask my mom about our fake sleepover tomorrow," the brunette mumbled across the blonde's lips. Alison hummed against her lips, "Oh I wasn't kidding about the sleepover part, but there will be a party before," the blonde said lowly. Emily raised her eyebrow, "You want me to stay the night?" She asked. Alison stood up and put her arms around Emily's shoulders, "Mhm," she answered while smirking at the brunette. She watched as Emily's cheeks reddened at the thought of sleeping in Alison's bed. "I'll see you tomorrow at your meet?" The blonde asked. "Okay," Emily whispered. "Thank you for the sweatshirt," Alison whispered against her lips before pressing another kiss onto Emily's. Emily hummed happily against the blonde, before pulling away and resting her forehead on Alison's, "I love you," the brunette said so quietly Alison barely could hear her. I want to hear you say that for forever. I'll never get tired of it. Alison played with Emily's hair with her hands that were rested on the taller girl's shoulders, "Say it again," she said sweetly with a dimple smile. Emily grinned and leaned her lips towards Alison's ear, "I love you Ali," she whispered softly into the blonde's ear. Alison's whole body became covered in goosebumps. "I love you more," the blonde replied softly after Emily pulled away. The brunette leaned down to grab her things, "I love you the most," Emily argued back. "Nope. Not possible," the blonde retorted, hands on her hips. "Okay I'll let you win," Emily relented, "Bye Ali," she said while reaching for the door handle. "Bye," Alison said in longing voice, wishing the brunette didn't have to leave so soon. Emily turned around before closing Alison's bedroom door, and the blonde gave her a wink just to see the girl blush one more time. After Emily left, Alison walked over to the bed and pulled Emily's hoodie up to her face, inhaling her scent. I'm so in love.
Alison applied her lipgloss looking into the small mirror in her locker. She saw Hanna walking up behind her through the reflection. "Hey Han!" Alison greeted, double checking her gloss and popping her lips. "Hey! I'm so excited for the party tonight," Hanna said. Alison called her last night after Emily left and told her the news. "Me too," Alison replied while fixing her mascara now. "Can I come over after school? We can hang out and get ready together," Hanna asked. "Actually I'm going to watch Emily's swim meet after school, but after I'm done with that you can come over. Emily is coming to the party too," Alison said while avoiding eye contact, still re-applying her makeup. "Since when do you go to sporting events other than football to check out the guys' butts?" Hanna inquired, also checking her makeup in her tiny, compact mirror in her hand. "Since Emily and I have become friends, that's when," Alison retorted, "She needs someone other than her mom to come watch her. Her dad redeployed again, so I thought it would be nice to go show her some support. Want to come with?" Alison asked. "Hell no. The smell of chlorine makes me want to gag. That's sweet of you though for going and watching her," Hanna said. The smell of chlorine makes me think of Emily...and that definitely doesn't make me want to gag.
Alison flipped her hair over her shoulder, and immediately noticed that her concealer hadn't completely covered the new hickey Emily gave her last night. Alison wasn't the only one who noticed...Hanna squealed, clearly seeing the mark at the base of Alison's neck, "Oh. My. God!!! Ali! You totally did it with someone!" Hanna exclaimed. "Is that why you broke up with Bradley?! There's someone new huh?!" Hanna asked, practically shouting. "Han, keep your voice down, jesus. I don't want the whole school to know all of my damn business," Alison said before digging through her makeup bag to find more concealer, "And yes there's someone new," the longer-haired blonde admitted. Hanna squealed again, "Oh my god is it Noel?! Ben?!" Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. She's like a dog with a bone. Alison rolled her eyes and grimaced, "Ew! Hell no Hanna," Alison replied, rubbing in more concealer on her neck, "It's not a guy who goes to school here." Hanna stood close to Ali, "Holy shit you're hooking up with an older guy?!" Hanna questioned. Alison finished covering up her hickey. Next time, I need to tell Emily to chill out on giving me hickeys. It is kinda hot though. "Maybe," Alison answered with a lie, "Listen, it's private okay? It's just between me and this person," Alison finished, unable to keep herself from smiling. "Omg you really like this guy huh?" Hanna stated. Alison shut her locker and turned to the shorter-haired blonde, "Maybe," Alison lied again. I don't just like her, I love her. "'Maybe' my ass! You're totally blushing right now! No amount of foundation can cover that," Hanna pointed out, grinning. Alison rolled her eyes again, trying to cover up her emotions. Thankfully, the school bell rang signaling it was time for first period. Thank god. "Come on," Alison said while already walking away, "We can't be late for English."
The school day drug out for Alison. She was excited to see Emily, and she wasn't blind to the fact that she was starting to want to spend every waking minute with the brunette. The swim meet started 30 minutes after last period, and Alison barely had time to go grab Emily flowers and get herself an iced latte before the meet. She huffed in frustration, annoyed with how long the line was at The Brew. Damnit I should've left earlier. At this rate, I'm going to be late. I wanted to get her flowers though, so it'll be worth it. Alison pulled her phone out of her purse and texted Emily: "Hey beautiful! So don't kill me, but I went for a coffee after school and it's taking longer than I thought. I might be a few minutes late, but I promise I'll hurry. Good luck XOXO". Alison finally reached the front of the counter and ordered her drink. As she sat down to wait, her phone buzzed. A text from Hanna: "So is mystery man going to be at this college party your brother is throwing tonight?" Ugh. I can't believe she saw that hickey. She's never going to drop this now. I didn't say it was an older guy...or a guy at all...but Hanna just ran with it. I guess it doesn't hurt to let her think it's an older guy. Maybe I can lie and say he's in a relationship or something and wants to keep it a secret. Then maybe that'll stop her from pestering me. Her phone buzzed again. A text from Emily: "I see how it is...coffee before me ;)" Alison smirked, knowing the brunette was only joking. She texted Emily back: "My caffeine addiction is serious, but not as serious as my addiction to you." Alison hesitated before pressing send. Will she think I'm being crazy...? Clingy...? She pressed send anyhow, biting her lip while waiting for a response. She went back to her and Hanna's text conversation, and typed a message to Hanna: "Nope. Just you, me, Emily, and Vodka." Her phone buzzed signaling a text from Emily: "I've got you hooked huh? Lol, no worries about being late. I'll see you after the meet! Love you." Alison's heart fluttered seeing the 'Love you' at the end of the text. Neither one of the girls had said that over text before, and it made Alison blush. She texted back: "You have no idea ;) Love you too. XOXO". Her name was called out by the barista at the counter, interrupting her texting. Finally. Took long enough. Alison rushed out of The Brew and hurriedly walked over to the flower shop.
"Go Em!!" Alison screamed at the top of her lungs as Emily dove into the water. As usual, the brunette was anchor. The Sharks were in third place, but the Rosewood swimmer before Emily gained a lot of time on the swimmer in second place. It was now down to Emily to close the gap on the swimmer in second, and hopefully reach the swimmer in first. It didn't take Emily but 10 seconds to overtake the swimmer in second place. Yes! That's my girl. Alison cheered with all of the other Sharks swimmers' family and friends in the bleachers. Alison cupped her hands over her mouth, holding her breath as Emily swam. There was only one lap left, and Emily had about 5 feet of water between her and the swimmer in first. Come on Em. Emily gained on the swimmer in front of her, but they were both nearing the end of the race. You can do it baby. You got this. Alison wrung her hands in anxiety, secretly wishing Emily could hear her cheering her on. The two girls were a yard away from the end of the pool, and Emily got in exact stride with the swimmer in first. Oh my god. They both finished the race at almost the same time. Everyone erupted with screams as they finished, but no one knew who won yet. Emily and the other swimmer waited in the pool until someone signaled the outcome.
"First place goes to...The Sharks!" Alison yelled with the rest of the crowd, beaming with joy that Emily won. She watched as the brunette's teammates hauled her out of the pool. Alison's smile quickly disappeared when she saw Paige pick up Emily and spin her around. Get your hands off of her. Her frown turned into a glare when she saw Emily laughing at something Paige said into her ear. I'm going to kill that bitch. Stay the hell away from Emily. Alison's hateful stare was broken up by Pam coming up to her. "Alison! Hi! I didn't know you were coming, or I would've asked you to sit with me," Pam said. "Hi Mrs. Fields! I would've, but I was running late so I had to grab a spot at the end. Thank you though," Alison answered sweetly. "Emily tells me you two are having a sleepover this evening?" Pam asked. "Yes we are, thank you for letting her stay over," Alison replied. Pam's eyes drifted down to the flowers Alison held in her arms. Oh god. "Of course! Those are beautiful, Emily will love them," Pam said, "You're such a good friend to Emily." Phew. Alison smiled, "She's a great person. You've raised a very kind girl. I'm glad to have her in my life," Alison said. "Mom! Ali!" Emily greeted as she hugged her mom. Alison stood back smiling as she watched the two. "You did incredible Emmy," Pam said while hugging her daughter, "That was a close one!" Emily pulled out of the hug, "Yeah it was. I honestly didn't think I beat her," Emily replied while glancing over at Alison. The blonde watched Emily's face blush as the brunette noticed the flowers. "Well you two girls have a fun night tonight," Pam said while looking at Emily and Alison, "It was nice to see you Alison." "Likewise," Alison said goodbye to Mrs. Fields with a smile.
"You were amazing out there Em! Here, these are for you," Alison said, handing the flowers to the still wet brunette. Alison picked out sunflowers, unsure of what Emily liked. "Ali, they're gorgeous," Emily noted while grabbing them from Alison, "How did you know I love sunflowers?" The swimmer asked. Alison smiled, "I didn't to be honest. You just remind me of them. Bright, beautiful, and able to withstand anything," the blonde commented. Emily smiled, "You didn't have to..." the brunette's voice lingered, "Thank you." Alison put her hand out onto Emily's arm. She rubbed her thumb against Emily's forearm, but kept it there for only a second, aware of their surroundings. "Now we can celebrate your big win tonight with shots," Alison joked. Emily let out a laugh, "I've never taken shots before," she admitted. "Hm, well I guess I have something new to teach you then," the blonde teased. "Emily! Let's go!" Coach Fulton yelled out to the brunette. "Shit, sorry Ali. I need to go to the locker room. Give me 15 minutes and I'll meet you out in the parking lot?" Emily asked. "Sure," the blonde answered sweetly. "Oh here," Emily said while handing back the flowers, "Can you hold onto these for me?" Alison nodded and smiled before Emily took off towards the locker room.
"So, Alison decides that we should just chug the beers in our hands instead of throwing them out," Hanna was in the middle of telling Emily a story while the three girls were getting ready for the party in Alison's room, "I, of course, follow along and chug my beer. Then, the cops walk up to us and before they can even ask us a question, Alison burps!" Hanna gushed, enjoying being able to tell Emily stories. Emily laughed from her place on Alison's bed, "Shut up! How did you guys not get in trouble?" Emily asked. Hanna's eyes lit up from her place on the floor by Alison's wall length mirror, "Well, Alison being the genius that she is, completely saved our asses! Get this," Hanna continued, "She proceeds to tell the officer that we had too much to drink and needed a ride home! They didn't even question that we were minors at a frat party!" Hanna exclaimed. Alison giggled from her spot in the chair by her vanity. The two blonde's were applying makeup in their respective mirrors. Emily already put on a simple look of makeup after her shower in the locker room. "That's crazy!" Emily remarked while laughing, "I can't believe you guys got away with that."
Hanna kept telling more details of her story to Emily, but Hanna's voice became background noise as Alison snuck a look at the brunette on her bed. Emily had on burgundy skinny jeans, a grey tank top, and an acid wash shirt over the tank. She looks so good. Part of me wishes I didn't invite Hanna over early, but I also think it's cute they're getting along. God, what I would do right now pull off those jeans and- Alison's thoughts were interrupted when she tuned back in to the other two girls' conversation. "Ali told me you have a boyfriend?" Emily asked. "Yes I do! His name is Caleb and he's literally perfect. He'll be coming over later tonight and you can meet him," Hanna revealed, "Do you have a boyfriend?" the shorter haired blonde asked. No. Alison watched Emily through the mirror, curious to see how she was going to answer her friend. "No, I don't," Emily answered, "Even if a guy was interested, I wouldn't be...I'm gay," the brunette said. "Omg that's awesome! I've always wanted a gay friend," Hanna admitted, causing Alison to smile and roll her eyes. "Do you have a girlfriend then?" Hanna inquired. Alison's attention was hyper fixated now on Emily. Before, she was trying to casually apply makeup while sneaking glances at the brunette, but now she fully stared at Emily through the reflection. Emily paused before answering, looking down at her hands, "Um no, I don't," the brunette answered honestly. "Are you interested in anyone?" Hanna kept prying. Yes she is. Me. Emily snuck a peek at Alison, making eye contact with her through the mirror. Shit. Alison quickly looked away, knowing she had already been caught staring at the brunette. "Yeah...there's someone," the brunette answered quietly, clearly starting to feel uncomfortable. "Well why haven't you asked her out yet?" Hanna asked, pushing for more details. Alison looked back to Emily through the mirror. "I don't know...it's complicated I guess," Emily replied. "Why is it complicated?" Hanna questioned. Alison watched as Emily looked down to her hands again. I should try to help her escape this conversation, but I can't help but hear what she has to say. Emily looked back to Alison, but this time Alison held her gaze through the reflection. Alison's heart dropped into her stomach from the look the brunette was giving her. Emily answered Hanna, but she was looking into Alison's eyes through the mirror the whole time when she spoke: "We haven't really talked about it yet. I don't know if an official relationship is even what she wants," Emily hinted. Alison knew Emily was really speaking to her, but Hanna didn't know that. The tension in the room went unnoticed by Hanna who was applying her makeup, but between Emily and Alison, it was thick enough to slice. Their intense eye contact was broken up by Hanna continuing her interrogation, "Well what do you want?" Hanna asked. Alison's heart was pounding. Emily hesitated to respond again, but she eventually spoke up, "I want her...all of her...but I don't think she's ready for that yet," Emily breathed out. I'm sorry. "That's too bad girl! You're beautiful and any girl would be lucky to have you," Hanna said sweetly, "You deserve someone who can give you the whole world." Alison felt like she was going to throw up now. "I am lucky," Emily went on, "It's just not all black and white," the brunette finished, sadness lacing her voice. I am lucky too Em. "Guess what? There's going to be plenty of hot college girls here tonight," Hanna consoled, "I bet some play on your team. Alison and I will totally be your wing-women, right Ali?" Hanna asked. Hell no. Alison cleared her throat, "Sure," the blonde chimed in, lying through her teeth. Emily suddenly sat up from the bed, "I'm going to go to the bathroom," she said while leaving the bedroom. Goddamnit.
Despite the intense moment that happened in the bedroom, after Emily came back from the bathroom, the brunette seemed completely unbothered. Alison knew deep down Emily was covering up how she truly felt. In actuality, Emily held herself better in front of Hanna than Alison did. The brunette was chatting with Hanna about some tv show, but as Alison sat silently beside the two on her bed, her head was somewhere else. She was feeling awful, and was in deep contemplation: I don't want Emily to think I don't want a relationship with her. I do. I want that more than anything. I want all of her too, but I'm terrified. I'm scared of what this all means. I'm okay with loving her, but everyone else knowing I love her...that's a whole other story. It's not that I'm ashamed of her. Not at all. Hanna was right...anyone would be lucky to have her. She is beautiful. She's more than just beautiful. She's stunning...interesting...funny...smart...talented...kind...compassionate...strong. She embodies everything I have ever wanted. I would love to show her off to every single person, but I'm afraid of what people will think. I'm not gay...maybe I am Bi? I don't know...I only see her...not any other girl. It's not her who I'm ashamed of, I'm ashamed of myself. I pretend to be strong, but I'm not. I'm scared of what people will think of me if Emily and I become official. I wish- " Alison's thoughts were cut off from Hanna jumping up from the bed, "I'm going to go to the bathroom," Hanna said, "BRB!"
The tension in the room instantly returned as soon as Hanna left. Emily cleared her throat, getting the blonde to look at her. They held each other's eye contact for a moment. "Are you okay?" The brunette asked, "You've been really quite." Alison nervously glanced down the her duvet, playing with a loose string. She sighed, "What did you mean when you told Hanna you wanted all of me?" Alison asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Emily turned slightly from her position on the bed, "Ali...we don't have to talk about this right now," she answered softly. "You meant a relationship..." Alison replied, ignoring the brunette. Alison looked back up and met the soft brown eyes she loved. "No...yes...maybe...I don't know Ali," Emily said softly. "You don't know?" Alison questioned. Emily broke their eye contact, "I mean...I do know, but I also know you're not ready for that," the brunette answered honestly. Alison sighed, "Em...I-I just...I just can't right now." Alison watched the heartbreak fill Emily's eyes after her admission. Alison started to reach her hand out to Emily when the bedroom door swung open. The blonde pulled her hand back at a lightning speed, but Hanna was completely clueless to their interaction.
"Guess what bitches?! I found some drinks for us downstairs so we can pregame!" Hanna shouted excitedly as she walked into the room with a bottle of vodka and another bottle of Sprite for a chaser. Alison hopped off of the bed, "Give it to me," she requested almost sharply, but Hanna still didn't notice. Alison proceeded to throw back a shot straight from the bottle, and handed it back to Hanna. Hanna repeated the same and then went to give the vodka to Emily. The brunette hesitated to take it, but Hanna insisted, "You don't have a choice miss long legs," the short-haired blonde teased, "You're getting drunk with us tonight!" Alison watched Emily grab the bottle and bring it up to her lips. Despite the brunette saying she hadn't taken a shot before, she threw it back like a pro. The blonde's eyes trailed down her beautiful tan skinned throat as she swallowed. Hanna grabbed Emily and pulled her into a hug, "I love you already!" She exclaimed. Emily giggled and looked up to Alison, smiling. The blonde couldn't help but smile back. "Alright, I want another," Alison said. Just try to have a good time and forget about it.
Jason's house party turned into a full on rager. College students filled the DiLaurentis' house, and their back yard was just as packed as the inside. Hanna, Caleb, Alison, and Emily were drinking on the outskirts of the crowd outside. Hanna was draped over Caleb, the alcohol making her extra affectionate. I wish I could touch Emily like that right now. She looks so cute tipsy. Throughout the evening, Emily would occasionally give the blonde a drunken smile, and it was starting to drive Alison crazy. Caleb was making small talk with Emily and asking her questions about swimming. In the middle of Caleb's sentence, Hanna suddenly grabbed Caleb's face and pulled him in for a kiss. Ugh. The annoyance Alison was feeling was not directed towards the couple, but mainly at herself because she couldn't touch Emily like that. "I'm going to go get us another round," Alison said, getting the pair to stop kissing, "Everybody want the same?" Alison asked. Everyone replied yes and the blonde made her escape back into the house. She took her time grabbing more drinks, giving herself a moment to relax. Maybe I should get Emily away from everyone and take her upstairs to my bedroom. Maybe I could "accidentally" spill a drink on myself and ask Emily to come help me clean up...yeah, that's perfect. Alison strutted out of the house with her hands full of drinks, smiling to herself about the plan to get Emily away. Her soft grin disappeared when she saw that Emily wasn't with Hanna and Caleb anymore.
"Where is Emily?" Alison asked while handing the two their drinks. "She's over there talking with that girl," Hanna exclaimed happily, "Looks like Emily found a potential hookup all on her own! She didn't even need a wing woman!" What? Alison's eyes whipped around the people standing in her yard, searching for the brunette. Her eyes narrowed once she finally found Emily. Alison felt anger fill her soul as she saw a blonde talking animatedly to Emily. What is Emily doing with her?! She watched for a moment as Emily laughed at something the girl said. Stop it Emily. Alison's anger turned into rage when she saw the blonde reach her hand out to Emily's bicep and rub her fingers on the brunette's arm. Hell. No. "I'm going to go give Emily the drink I got for her," Alison said curtly, trying her hardest not to show her raging jealously. "Wait! Ali don't interrupt them," Hanna replied, "Emily might have a chance with her! That blonde is definitely flirting with her." I fucking know Hanna! "Well I'm not going to stand here and hold her drink Hanna," Alison spat back. As soon as she turned her eyes back to Emily, she saw the blonde girl typing her number into Emily's phone. Oh fuck no.
Alison hurried across the yard, feeling her insides curl with every step she took towards the blonde Emily was with. Alison felt hatred towards the blonde the closer she got to them, trying to fight off the desire to grab her by the hair and yank her to the ground. "Emily," Alison said in a cool tone, interrupting the brunette's conversation. "Ali, hi!" Emily said happily, clearly not picking up on Alison's frustration, "This is Samara!" Emily introduced excitedly, her words slightly slurred showing her tipsiness. I don't give a flying fuck what her name is. Samara smiled kindly at Alison and stuck her hand out, "Nice to meet you," the other blonde greeted. Alison looked her up and down and crossed her arms, not shaking Samara's outstretched hand. Samara quickly caught the vibe Alison was throwing her way. The other blonde brought her own hand back, clearly feeling awkward. "Emily, I need you inside," Alison said to the brunette, turning away from Samara. "Oh, okay well just give-" "-Now," Alison interrupted Emily and grabbed the brunette's hand, pulling her away from Samara. Emily turned back while Alison was pulling her away, "It was nice to meet you!" The brunette called out to Samara. "You too!" Samara shouted back, looking confused.
"Ali, what's wrong?" Emily questioned Alison as she drug the brunette through the house full of people. Alison didn't answer Emily as they reached the stairs, still pulling the brunette behind her. "Ali?" Emily asked again as they ascended the stairs, yet still receiving no response from the blonde. Alison opened her bedroom door and pulled Emily inside. "Ali what is going on? I was in the middle of a conversation," the brunette said once the blonde shut and locked her bedroom door.
Alison whipped around to Emily with fury in her eyes, "What's going on? Emily you two were flirting with each other right in front of me!" She shouted. Alison watched as Emily flinched from the blonde's tone. Emily took a step towards Alison, but the blonde took a step back. "We weren't flirting with each other Ali," the brunette replied, keeping her own voice calm. Alison scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Then explain why you let her give you her number," she spat. Alison saw Emily's brown eyes fill with worry. The blonde knew Emily was tipsy and that it wasn't completely fair of her to confront the brunette right now, but she was angry. "If you would've waited another second before dragging me away you would've heard what we were talking about, we-" "-If I waited another second I would've hit her Emily!" Alison snapped and cut off the brunette. Emily sighed, "Ali she was telling me about this pride group on her campus. Samara gave me her number so she can give me more information about it. She was just being kind," Emily explained. Alison ran her fingers through her hair, still clearly frustrated, "She was practically eye fucking you Emily!" She screeched. "Ali you're being dramatic," Emily replied, some of her words still slurred. Alison eyes flashed with anger, "Don't you dare tell me I'm being dramatic! I'm not blind Emily," the blonde snapped back. Emily shook her head slightly, "I'm sorry if it seemed like she was flirting with me, but I wasn't," the brunette pleaded, taking another step towards the blonde, "But Ali, what was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to say 'Hey Samara, come meet my girlfriend Alison'?"Girlfriend?
Alison's eyes widened, "Girlfriend?" The blonde asked, the irritation in her voice suddenly gone. Alison watched as Emily mentally realized what she just said. "No that's not what I meant-" "-You think I'm your girlfriend?" The blonde interrupted Emily yet again. This time Alison was the one who took a step towards the brunette. Emily was visibly flustered, "N-no Ali, that's not what I meant to say I'm sorry," the brunette answered. "Well what did you mean then?" Alison inquired, her tone switched to curiosity. "I-I don't know," Emily replied with her voice wavering. "Em, you do know," Alison said softly while taking another step closer to Emily. The brunette broke their eye contact and walked away. Emily began pacing in front of the bed while she spoke: "Ali, that's my whole point! I can't call you my girlfriend because you aren't. So it's not fair of you for getting upset with someone flirting with me. Which again, I wasn't flirting with her, but what did you expect me to say?" Emily asked, her own anger now rising to the surface. "Maybe just don't let someone flirt with you?" Alison suggested in a rude tone. Emily threw her hands up in frustration, "You can be so frustrating sometimes Alison, you know that?" Emily replied back, "Do you realize how crazy I am for you? Just being in the same room as you makes my heart beat speed up. Feeling you touch me or kiss me makes my knees buckle. I would do anything for you! Do you know that? I would wait for forever for you Ali," Emily finally finished, taking a deep breath. "I don't want you to have to wait for forever Emily," Alison replied right back, "Hanna was right. You deserve the whole world. You don't deserve somebody like me," the blonde said sadly.
Emily's eyes filled with more passion, "Alison why do you do this? Why do you always place such a low value on yourself?" Emily asked, "Why do you think I don't deserve you?" Because you're too good for me. Way too good for me. Alison took a step closer to the brunette, "Emily...you are too perfect...too loving...too kind for me. I don't say those things to make you upset, but it's the truth," Alison said quietly. Emily mirrored Alison and took a step closer to the blonde and grabbed her hands. "Do you remember what you said to me yesterday?" Emily asked. Alison's eyebrows scrunched together with confusion, but Emily answered her own question: "You told me you wished I could see myself through your eyes. Well that's what I wish you could see too," the brunette said quietly, "You have no idea how in love with you I am Ali. You are the embodiment of perfection to me. There's no one better than you." Alison felt her eyes well up with tears as Emily kept talking: "I understand that this is new and intense. We fell for each other fast and hard, and I understand why this is scary for you. It's scary for me too, but please don't push me away Ali...please. I think everything happened so quickly between us that we need to take this slower. We need to take a breath." Alison's tears slowly started falling down her face as Emily held her hands and spoke softly to her: "Do you remember something else you told me that day at the lake?...You told me that all you knew was how you felt about me. All I know is that I love you too Ali. You are not in this alone, but we have to be honest with each other and talk about these things. I want to be your girlfriend more than anything, but I understand that you are not ready to make this official right now, and that's okay. I'll keep saying the same things you told me...because remember yesterday?...When I wasn't ready to have sex yet? You told me you never wanted to push me to do something I wasn't ready for. I don't want to push you into something you aren't ready for either. I don't need you to tell every single person you love me right now. All I need from you is to just tell me how you're feeling, okay? Please don't push me away," Emily pleaded, "Ali, you deserve good things. You deserve love." The brunette reached up and wiped Alison's tears away, but the blonde couldn't help but fall into a full on cry. Alison started weeping and pulled Emily into a tight hug. Through her tears she finally spoke up: "Promise me you won't leave me?" She asked as she cried onto Emily's shoulder. "I promise," Emily whispered back onto her blonde hair, "You're stuck with me," the brunette joked. The two held each other until the blonde's crying subsided. Alison pulled away and cupped Emily's face in her hands, "Are you sure you want to deal with my crazy?" The blonde asked. Emily giggled softly and wrapped her arms around Alison's waist, "Always," the brunette answered in return.
Ohhhhh man that was a biggie! Okay let's do a debrief: We had some fun fluff, rising sexual tension, Hanna seeing a hickey and now thinking Alison has an older secret boyfriend, Alison buying Emily flowers at her swim meet (cute!), an awkward tense conversation in Alison's bedroom between Emily and Hanna, Samara entering the picture, Alison getting way jealous, and some more insecurities coming to the surface. That was a whirlwind. Obviously they are both extremely in love, but Alison clearly is still not ready to tell people or make their relationship official. Do you think that's going to cause more problems? Leave some reviews my friends!
