"I swear if you take that off, I'm not gonna put out for a month." Alison raised her eyebrows despite her eyes being covered by a blindfold. She knows her girlfriend was just kidding and there's no way they couldn't make love for a month. She heard the soft chuckles of Emily and she was torn between being annoyed and amused. "Baby, I've had this for half an hour and my eyes hurt." She whined; she was so excited about where they are going and she badly wanted to take a peak. "Babe, we're almost there. It'll be worth it. Well, I hope." Emily clasped their hands together and brought it to her lips and kissed Ali's knuckles. This earned a gentle smile from the blonde. It's funny how Emily Fields could turn the former queen bee, Alison DiLaurentis into a sap. "It better be." She chuckled lightly.
It was a calm Saturday morning, a weekend, thank God. They were busy all throughout the weekend in school: her with her teaching job and Emily being the new swim coach of the Rosewood swim team. Alison smiled as she recalled how she got Emily the job. It wasn't an easy one; especially once she knew that Paige was aiming for it, too. But there is nothing in this world Ali wouldn't do for her mermaid so she wrote a colorful recommendation letter for her girl and annoyed Principal Hackett any time she could until the good principal had conceded and had called Emily for the interview. Emily couldn't believe her luck, but nevertheless she was so happy she got the job. She spent the whole night thanking Alison for getting her the job.
Their relationship was new and it developed when they finally, finally, opened their feelings for each other.
*FLASHBACK*
Emily was making herself comfortable in the couch. She was staying over at Ali's again for she wants to make sure the blonde stays safe. After Ali was attacked by A.D., it seems like the brunette doesn't want the blonde to be out of her sight. Granted, she worked in the Radley and had classes at Hollis, but every time she can, she was always with Ali. This didn't same to bother the blonde as she always loved to spend time with her favorite. Emily knew she is still head-over-heels in love with Alison. She always was but she never had told anybody. Maybe when she was in those various relationships, it had wane a little, but she knew it never totally gone. That's why she felt guilty because even though she was with someone else, her heart has always belonged to Ali. And she isn't sure Ali returned her feelings in any way, but she liked to think that she means something to the blonde. There is nothing in the world she won't do for the girl she loves and she knows she had wronged her, and she's doing everything to redeem herself.
She didn't want to sleep with Alison when she was at the blonde's house. Granted, they had always shared a bed, but somehow to her it felt wrong. Ali just knew her husband was ruining her and wasn't who she thought he was. And Em knew that whenever she gets close to Ali, she might not control herself and maybe she'll hurl herself at the blonde. Ali doesn't need to be confused by Emily. So Em waited and is waiting for the time that she might confess to Ali. She didn't know it was that night.
It started out as soft grunting and Emily thought Ali was just uncomfortable in her bed that she ignored it. It was only when Ali was already shouting that Emily Fields had found herself running towards Alison's bedroom. She flung the door wide open only to see Ali so distraught, crying. She approached the blonde and held her. Ali was sweating but when she saw Emily, she felt a little bit calm. "Sshh Ali, I'm here. I got you. It was just a nightmare." Emily whispered as she lessened her control and tucked the blonde's head under her neck. Ali hugged her back and Em can feel her t-shirt getting moist with Ali's tears. It hurt her seeing Ali in this state. "I- I thought you were gone. I thought A had killed you... You were trying to save me but you haven't saved yourself. And I couldn't live with that." Ali continued to sob and Em didn't know what to do; except for one thing. She pulled out of Ali's embrace and look at her eyes; they were shining with tears but Em still found them so beautiful. She wiped the tears off Alison's face and caressed her cheek. "Listen, Ali. I'm not going anywhere. A might be capable of killing me-" Ali's face clouded with fear but Em held her face a little bit firmer. "But I'm not gonna let her, okay? I'll fight and I'll win. We have the girls and their... bed partners helping us." Ali smiled at the term. "There, I like you better when you're smiling." Emily bit her tongue as she said the word. It's now or never.
