Ali's pov
"You want to go on a date with me?"
"A date?"
"Yeah" Emily giggles
"Of course"
"I'll pick you up at 7"
"Pick me up?" I ask, raising an eyebrow
"Yeah. Seven at the front door" she kisses me and leaves the house, returning many hours later.
Emily's pov
It's 18:55 and I'm awkwardly standing at the front door waiting for Ali to come.
"Ready?" She asks me arriving at my side
"Yeah. Let's go. Don't want to miss our reservation"
"Where are we going?" Ali asks when we get into the car
"Ravenswood"
"Oh and we are staying at the Radley"
"The Radley? But I haven't got any clothes" Ali screams
"Well for what we're going to do you don't need clothes" I flirt "but don't worry I've packed you some PJs and fresh clothes for tomorrow"
"Thank you Em"
"You're welcome Ali"
"Do I look too casual?"
"No. We aren't going to a fancy restaurant we are just going to a diner"
"Okay good. I didn't want to be in black jeans and a leather jacket sitting next to some snob in a ballgown. I'd look like a hobo" Alison laughs
"You look stunning" I smile placing my hand onto her arm
"Alison"
"Yes Emily?"
"I love you"
"Emily please, I'm trying to create a vibe here and it definitely is not sweet"
"Oh shut up, that doesn't even make sense. Are you ever going to stop laughing at that?" I snigger
"No and I'm not laughing at you, I just find it funny, how sexy you sounded"
"Hmmm...okay then"
"Sorry Cathy I won't say it again"
"You told me you wouldn't call me Cathy again and you did"
"That's cause I love you and I have to make fun of you"
"Well that is true blondie, if you can't make fun of the people you love then you can't make fun of anyone" I say slightly sarcastically
"Exactly"
Ali's pov
We arrive at the diner and sit in Emily's "favourite booth"
"Wait so why is this your favourite booth?"
"It's kind of a long story"
"I have time, especially to listen to you. I love listening to your voice it makes me feel safe" I admit
"Well my mom used to work here and one day my dad came here and sat in this exact booth. He saw my mom and thought she looked beautiful so everyday he came to sit in this booth because he wanted to see my mom. But one day he wasn't here, my dad had gone back to the army. My mom was heartbroken that the handsome man, who sat in this booth and smiled at her, was gone. For three months my mom sat in this booth everyday waiting for him to return. He returned from the army and asked her out and the rest is history, every year on their anniversary they would come to this booth. And now I get to bring you"
"I'm honoured that you wanted to bring me here, I can tell this is an important place to you and your parents"
"Ever since I met you I wanted to bring you here"
"I'm glad' I blush
"What are you lovely ladies having?" A waitress asks
"Emily? Alison?" we hear a voice shout
I look up from my menu and see CJ hovering over us. I roll my eyes and let out a big sigh, Emily looks up at me and she looks just as annoyed as I am
"Date?" CJ asks
"Yes so go away" I accidentally mutter out loud
"Well I can see I am not welcome here" she says staring at me
"Wai..."
"Emily don't" I cut her off
We both order a burger with fries and get a strawberry milkshake to share.
"I'm going to the ladies room" I say once we finish our meal
"Okay I'll wait for the bill" Emily says leaning over the table to kiss me before I get up to go to the restroom
I come out the cubical and walk over to the sink when my eyes are covered by hands
"Guess who" a female says in a manly voice. That doesn't sound like Emily I think to myself, but it must be who else could it be?
"Em?"
The female twists me around and before I can see her face she kisses me. This is definitely not Emily I can tell by the way she kisses, I know Emily's lips, her tongue and this is definitely not her. My eyes ping open and I can see her face, as I struggle away she jumps back in shock
"What the fuck?" I shriek
"Alison. I know I pretended to love Emily, I pretended I wanted your life but I only did it because I'm in love with you"
Her voice echoes in my head "I'm in love with you"
"What the fuck?" I scream again
"Alison I know you are married but we can run away together. She never has to know, we can leave and be happy"
"I'm already happy. I have two beautiful daughters and an absolute drop dead gorgeous wife, who is sitting right out there" I point towards the door "I don't need some psychotic bitch ruining that for me" I storm out the bathroom
"Emily we need to go" I grab her hand and drag her quickly out of the diner
"Let's go to the Radley"
Emily's pov
Alison flings the hotel door open, grabs the collar of my t-shirt and drags me into the room. She pushes me against the wall and passionately kisses me. She traces her tongue across my bottom lip, before pushing her tongue into my mouth as she strokes my back with her hands. Her palms move down my body until they reach the bottom of my butt, she runs her hands back up into my hair
"You want to go somewhere more..." she pauses
"Private?" she whispers seductively into my ear, I can hear my heart rate increase
I follow behind her into the bedroom. She grabs onto my shoulders and throws me onto the bed, I feel her body on top of me pushing me into the bed
"I love you Emily. I hope you know that" her voice shakes and I can tell something is wrong
"Ali, what's wrong?" I ask pushing her off me
"Nothing" she says, kissing my neck, her voice cracking
"Ali, you're really vulnerable right now"
"That's not why, I promise" she giggles
"Alison what's wrong?" I firmly ask, wrapping my legs around her and flipping us over so I am now straddled over her
Alison sighs and I can see her eyes sink, I can tell she doesn't want to look at me. I delicately place my hands on her cheeks and force her to look at me
"Alison" I say quietly
"Emily. CJ kissed me" she sobs
"I'm so sorry baby" she cries
"Alison it's okay. CJ has kissed me too. She's just a psychopath. It's not your fault"
"Are you sure? You don't hate me?" She sniffs
"Alison you are the love of my life, I have never and will never hate you. I know that you love me with all your heart - just as I do you. Mitch is exactly what you call her a music bitch. I am in love with you Alison"
"I am in love with you too" she smiles, sniffling
She kisses me again
"Now. Let's make the most of this date" I smirk
I lower my body into Alison's. Massaging the back of her neck, we share a fiery kiss. Alison sexily runs her hands down my legs squeezing my upper thigh just below my butt, her nails dig into my skin leaving small marks on my leg. Ali lets out a soft moan as I kiss her stomach, making my way back up to meet her mouth.
"Best date ever" Alison huskily whispers
"Best ever" I whisper back breaking our kiss
"Now lets make sweet love" Ali laughs, running her hand through my hair and kissing me
"Alison, I'm trying to create a vibe here and it definitely is not sweet"
