Chapter 3: What We Use To Be

...7 years earlier...

"Ali!" Em says as she sprints up the steps to our room. "Babe... hurry up. We're running late. We were supposed to meet my parents five minutes ago for dinner." She sighs being complete impatient with me as she walks into our master bedroom in her cocktail dress. Throwing herself on the bed pouting, dramatically. Isn't she so cute?

"I know baby. I'm sorry my class ran long. He normally lets us out early on Friday's. I'm almost done." I smile as I walk up to her, while still putting on my earring. Then placing both hands on the side of her face, standing in between her legs, causing her dress to rise and kissing her gently on the lips. "I missed you today my beautiful wife." I mumble against her lips.

"Hmm..." She hums in approval at my greeting, a big grin gracing her lips, with her eyes close just savoring our kiss. She then opens her eyes, like coming out of a day dream. "I missed you too wifey but don't try to distract me. We've got to go." She tells me seriously like I was stalling.

"Are you accusing me of not wanting to go to dinner with my wife and my mother-in-law?" I fake shock with my mouth wide open trying to pretend like I'm offended.

"What about your father-in-law?" Emily rises her eyebrow and chuckles.

"Oh... I like him." I giggle playfully. "I wouldn't try to get out of dinner with him." I say walking away from her putting on my heels.

"Ali!" Em gets up and acts like she's going to drag me out of the room. I can't help but laugh at her playfulness.

"I know. Hold on a second." I put a finger up to her to stop her playful assault on me. "I need to get my ring out of the polish solution it's soaking." I tell her as I walk back into the bathroom real quick.

"Did you go to school without your ring?!" She more accuses then asks, raising her voice so I can hear her in the bathroom.

"Em... I just wanted it to be clean for tonight. You know how much I love to show it off." I tell her winking as I walk back into the room.

"Well why don't YOU try showing it off to those horn dogs at the college instead of my parents?" Emily tells me acting jealous. Her face slightly frowning but more pouting than anything else.

"Oh my gosh..." I can't help but roll my eyes. "Come on were gonna be late." I walk over to her and grab her hands pulling her out the door with me, both of us smiling.

"How do you think they'll react to the news?" Em asks me, as she lowers the radio on her steering wheel. Grabbing my attention.

"I have no idea. I mean... they'll be happy, right?" I look over at her, hoping for a good outcome. "I mean they're not my parents. They are the supportive ones." I smile at her, knowing there should be nothing to worry about with the Fields'. Now my parents is another story.

"Yeah... I'm kinda scared what my mom will say. I mean... I know she wasn't thrilled about us getting married at eighteen. She wanted us to go through a long engagement. I doubt she'll support this. Especially, since we haven't finished college, yet." She says a little nervous, biting her bottom lip and taping her hand on the steering wheel.

"Babe... You know your mom. She'll come around, even if she does get upset now. She always does. She loves you so much." I tell my girl encouraging. Reaching over and grabbing her hand, then softly bring it to my lips for a gentle kiss, to calm her.

"Ali, how long have we been married for?" Em asks me seriously as I lay our intertwined hands in my lap.

"Really?" I turn to look at her, trying to read her mood.

"Yes. Really?" She looks at me seriously.

"Are you being sarcastic or do you really not know? Because for some reason I feel like this is some kind of a trick question." I look over to Em as she's driving us to dinner with her parents.

"You tell me?" She looks at me with a big grin. Now I know she's playing.

"You are such a brat sometimes." I roll my eyes at her as she brings our hands that are in my lap to her lips. Kissing my hand then making sure she shows off my wedding ring in the process. "We've been married for 2 years and 3 months." I look over to her, a blush appearing on my face. "Why babe?" I ask curious of what she's getting at.

"I just want to remember tonight... that's all." She smiles brightly at me as she pulls into the parking lot of the restaurant.

"Yeah?" I look at her in awe. I love this woman. She's perfect.

"The reason why I asked you how long we've been married is because I wanted to make sure you knew..." She trails off as she parks the car then gets out slightly jogging to open my door. She's always been such a gentle women with me. She politely gives me her hand as she helps me out of the car.

"Make sure I knew what?" I ask even more curious then before.

"Knew how long I was devotedly and completely all yours." She ends, pulling me close to her in perfect timing. Leaning her forehead against mine. I can't help the butterflies that irrupt in my stomach. I can feel all the love she's focusing on me. She slightly sways us in a playful manner then let's go of her hold on me, grabbing my hand and walking us towards the restaurant.

"Oh... so you're telling me that you've only been completely mine since we've been married?" I playfully tease her.

"Okay... correction. Rewind." She pretends like she's gathering herself. "Ali?" She stops where she's at and looks at me serious but still playing with me.

"Yes?" I play back with her smiling.

"How long have I known you for?" She can't keep her smile in anymore and she breaks out with a big grin, staring straight into my eyes.

"Smooth... and more like it Mrs. Fields." I step closer to her then bring my hand behind her neck pulling her in and connecting our lips in a passionate kiss. Then leaning my forehead against hers as I ghost our lips together with my eyes closed, just feeling her and whispering. "Four years and 9 months. My high school sweetheart."
