Emily threw the ball at the bowling pins, she missed them all, as expected. she's not that good in this game. The only time she played this game was when she turned 16, her mom wanted her to play the game for her birthday cause she was sure the younger one would like it. I think Emily would have loved bowling if she was good at it, but she's not a natural talent like others, like Alison.
Alison and Emily went to get a drink, since it was disco night they could get anything they wanted for free, even though there was free alcohol they kept it with a coca and an Ice tea. They sat at a table in the corner, you didn't hear much of the music there, at other table's you heard the music really loud but not here, which was a good thing.
they could finally have a normal conversation. During the beginning of their " date" their conversations were mostly them just smiling at eachother and laughing no talking cause the music was always too loud, Emily stared at Alison as she threw her balls, Ali never missed a pin, it's frustrating that she's winning this game easy while Emily always threw like someone with two left hands, but it's also cute, cause the Alison was always smiling. That's what Emily loved most about this evening. " So, where did you learn how to throw like that?" Em asked.
" I used to come here with my dad all the time. When I was little girl he took me here, it was our way of bounding plus I could beat him at something. He was literally better than me in everything, then one day he took me to this bowling alley, and He teached me how to throw, there's allot of memories I have with my dad here, I remember one time I threw the ball so hard that I fell down the floor, he stood up wanting to help but turned out just laughing at me, I miss those memories, so I often come here"" do you miss your dad allot?" Alison's dad was always away for work, he lived 1 hour from Ali, she barely ever saw the man, last time she saw him was 4 months ago. Ms. DiLaurentis and Mr. DiLaurentis got divorced when Alison was 17 years old. It was hard, but it had to happen, Ali rather doesn't have them together cause they always fought about everything and it made her sad seeing them both so unhappy. " Offcourse I do, don't you?" Em's face went from extremely happy to a bit sad, Em's dad was in the army, she only saw her dad 4 times a year, that's not allot. " I do.., more than anything" she replied. " Don't be sad babe, it'll be alright, you're not alone. We both miss our dads, I understand how you feel, it's not easy.." She placed her hand on Emily's lap.
" c'mon let's move on before we both start crying" she smiled. " you wanna go another round?"
She nodded.
Emily was standing ready to throw another bowling ball but Alison stopped her. She puts her both hands on Emily's sides " here I'll show you how you should do it" The brown haired girl's heart skipped a beat by the simple touch of Alison. The blonde touching her, was one of the greatest feelings Emily had ever felt, at this moment this time, The world fell away, drained of all color, but Ali standing behind her, touching her sides. Alison moved her body with Emily's, placing her hand on the hand Emily was holding the ball with, Ali moved her hand forward and backwards as Emily dropped the ball, making them throw together.
" strike!" Alison yelled, letting go of Emily's sides and hand. " yesss finally!" Emily jumped up and down, she took a moment and looked at how Alison was smiling at her, Emily stared for a few seconds "what?" Alison smiled. Before Emily could stop herself or think or do anything that made any sense at all, she spoke.
'Ali...'
Then she stopped talking. She was so close to Alison, Emily's slender hand touched Ali's blouse, her eyes huge, her lips so close to Ali's, she couldn't stop herself from touching them, and she was compelled to know what those lips felt like.
'Emily, what are you...'
Her words were cut off when Emily's lips touched hers, Em felt a wave of euphoria wash over her. This was a slow, gentle kiss. Alison's lips tasted exactly as Emily imagined, like strawberries, her lips were soft. If only Emily could make this kiss last forever, Alison isn't stopping her from kissing, but she's also not kissing back. She's just standing there. For several seconds their lips kept touching, until she pushed the brown eyed girl away like suddenly she got the realisation she was being kissed. Pushing the girl away was like a dagger through Em's heart.
Alison gave Emily a shocked look, grabbing her bag from the floor and left the building quickly, she was in a rush. She didn't even switch her bowling shoes for her regular ones.What had Emily done?
