"can we go somewhere?" ali asks.

"yeah," i smile.

"come on, it's a few minutes from here," she says getting up, as i do too.

we go downstairs and i see my dad, "dad, i'm going to take em somewhere, i'll be back in 20."

he nods and smiles. ali exits the house and just as i'm about too, hear my name being called.

i turn around and see mr. dilaurentis.

"yeah?"

"please make sure she's safe," he says looking at me directly in the eyes.

"oh ok."

++++++++++

"come on, em," ali says taking my hand. these past few minutes, she had been extra jumpy, it's been very noticeable.

"slow, down, ali," i say as she laughs.

when we finally reach our destination i instantly remembered it.

it was the kissing rock.

floods of images of ali and ian making out start to fill my head. i block them out, reminding myself that that's all water under the bridge. besides, ali doesn't even like ian. she likes me.

and yeah, i'm dating Paige. but, right now she's not here. it's just me and ali, like old times.

ali twirls around. "here we are," she smiles.

"i guess so," i say, a little bothered by the last time I was here.

"i know your thinking about ian," she says. i swear this girl can read my mind.

"no, i wasn't," i lie.

"yes, you were,"she says coming closer.

"noo," i laugh.

she starts to intertwine our fingers. "it's okay, you know? i just want you to know that i regret it, so much. if i had the chance i wouldn't do it again, it was just dumb and stupid, you know? "

i nod slowly. she jumps up, frightening me and sits on the big, old, dusty old rock. she pats on the space beside me as i sit next to her.

"so, you and paige?" she asks casually.

"yep," i say.

"so, how does she look?" i ask, wanting to see if this 'paige' was a good match for em.

"um i, uh, actually have it on my phone." she says taking he phone out. she shows me her and my jaw drops open when insee who it is.

"pigskin," i mutter under my breath.

"what was that?" she ask.

"oh, um nothing. uh, does she know me?"

"what do you mean?"

"like, does she ever mention me?" i ask.

"well, she did call you a bitch when I told her about what you did to me."

"em, i am sorr-"

"you don't have to apologize, ali. you've done enough of that."

i smile slightly and look down.

she picks up my chin with her finger, exposing my face to her.

this look is the same face she made when i first told about the kissing rock.

   flashback

"they're go noel and prudence out to the kissing rock. people have been sticking out in the kissing rock for years."

"your making that up," she says unconvinced.

"just because i make it up, doesn't mean it's not true. you go there with somebody and you can feel the ghosts of the other lover's, spying on you. pushing you to do it. you know, you should never disappoint a ghost."

"it's just a dusty, old rock," she smiles.

"who do you want to take there?" i ask suggestively.

she smiles at me innocently as i smirk at her.

end of flashback

instantly i crash our lips together.

i pull away. "ali, i like paige. i can't do this." i whisper.

those words make my heart skip a beat. i exhale shakily as she ignores what i just said and leans down and kisses me, softly and sweetly, over and over again. she pulls back after a moment, still holding me in place, but i'm not ready for the moment to end. instinctively, my hand moves to her head, fingers running through her hair, as i force ali right back to me. she chuckles, not fighting it, and kisses me deeper. soft and sweet turns firm and frenzied, the once feather light kisses now brutalizing my lips. i'm not sure which way i like it better. one way makes my heart flutter; the other sets my chest on fire.

i pull back for air.

and go back again....
