Chapter 36: Back to You

Alison's POV

"Thanks for helping me" I say to my parents as we drop off the last boxes into the house I used to share with Elliot.

"No worries, sweetie" my mum replies "Are you sure you don't want us to stay and help you unpack?"

"No, that's alright thanks. I think I need to be my own"

"Ok, well, call us if you need anything. Love you" my dad kisses my cheek

"Love you too, Dad" I smile "Bye, Mum" I wave them off as they get in their car and go home.

I close the door and turn around to lean against it. I look at the sight before me. Ugh, so many boxes to unpack, I really can't be bothered... I start wandering through the house wondering how I'm going to organise the house, my house. When Elliot and I bought the house, I'd had to make a few compromises but now I could finally decorate the way I wanted and make it my space.

As I peer into the living room, I see that Elliot had left the couch, most likely because it wouldn't be easy to take with him. "I need to get rid of that ..." I think out loud. It would be so weird to keep it, this piece of furniture which somehow had become a part of our story.

Flashback

"I can't believe it's finally happened" I sigh happily as I fall back on our new couch

"You're telling me" he smiles as he sits next to me and wraps me in his arms "Dream job, dream house, and more importantly dream girl" he kisses my lips gently "How about I make dinner for you tonight and we eat outside on our new back porch?"

"That sounds amazing, baby! Thank you, I love you" I reply giving him a light peck

"On it! By the way, I love you more!" he winks running off before I have the chance to do him one better

God that feels like a lifetime ago ... I was so happy, things never felt so in place. It felt like I could finally, stop and breathe, live my life like everyone else. For the first time in my life, I was average.

"the Alison DiLaurentis I know is far from average" I suddenly remember Emily saying a few weeks ago when we'd returned from the lake house. I smile at the memory. She was so sweet and gentle but with this added charm of sexy confidence, not the shy confidence she used to have. And it was working on her so well. It was hard to think of her now and not get turned on a little...

Flashback to Ali's bachelorette

'' You're so smug you know that?'' I say pretending to be annoyed when actually all I could think was how I wish she had been grinding against me rather than this rando

She grabs my waist and brings me close to her '' I know but I know you find that sexy'' she murmurs sexily in my ear

My breath hitches in my throat and I fail to cover it as I gulp'' You wish'' I try harder to hide the lust I feel towards her right now - god dammit - why does she have to be so hot ''You're arrogant'' I manage as she pulls me closer and I tense up - Fuck, she will be the death of me...'"You're a player'' she steps closer to me - she's so fucking gorgeous, how am I supposed to resist her '' A drop-out''

'' Ouch, that stings Barbie'' she pretends to be offended and brings me close enough to her that I can smell the rum and coke on her breath and feel her heart beating against my chest '"But it's not enough to push me away from you''

Before I even have time to process what she said, her lips are on mine and she holds me tightly by  my waist. Holy fuck, is this happening? Did she really just say what she said? All my feelings suddenly rush to the surface and I'm engrossed into a fire of lust and passion. God, Elliot never makes me feel like this. Fuck, Elliot. I feel bad for him but right now I can't help but completely lose myself in this moment, in her. Fuck, I've missed her. I've missed this. This undeniable passion and chemistry. This fire so strong that you have zero control when you are with them. I let my hands wander across her body, unable to stop myself from wanting to feel every inch of her skin against mine. It felt so fucking good to kiss her like this again, to have this wild passion going through us, to have our tongues fight for dominance, to taste her like this. Suddenly, I feel her squeeze my butt and I can't help but moan as we keep kissing. God... I haven't felt this alive in so long. I had forgotten this feeling. This feeling of invincibility. This feeling of fire and passion. This feeling of I would do anything right now to be hers and her to be mine. I slowly pull away from her as my hands cup her face and I suddenly feel so raw, so vulnerable, so me.
