Ch.4- Rumors and Runaways

Emily watched as Alison angrily walked up the stairs to their home. She'd be lying if she said that the blonde wasn't unspeakably attractive whenever she were upset like this. It was times like this when Emily knew that Alison truly loved her. Even though the rumors weren't true at all and it kind of hurt the brunette that her fiancé believed them, Emily was still grateful that Alison had so much of herself invested in "them".

  Emily looked at her phone to see no notifications or texts and was glad. Just to make sure she wouldn't be tempted to check them if she got any, the brunette turned the phone's sound off before standing to her feet. She knew this would be a long day.

  "Ali?" Emily asked as she opened the door to their bedroom to find the girl curled up in a ball on their bed. Emily's heart clenched at the sight and she sighed. "You know those rumors aren't true. You know I wouldn't do any of those things, especially with Paige."

  "Before...I thought I did...but then you went and kissed her. It kind of changed the way I looked at you", The blonde revealed and Emily couldn't blame her for thinking that way. In reality it was mostly the brunette's fault.

  Emily stuttered out, "I-I thought you were over that. I thought we were over that."

  "Well I'm not", Alison snapped, her blue eyes battling brown.

  "You're being completely ridiculous", Emily replied. She walked further into the room but decided it'd be best to remain standing.

  "After you kissed Paige but then apologized and fixed us, I did get over it Emily. I was over it completely. But now she's here and working literally right next to you", Alison let out. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes before opening them again. "If you kissed her once when we weren't broken up...then what would stop you from doing it again?"

  "My love for you and you only", Emily immediately replied while walking over to the bed and taking the blonde's hands in her own. "Paige means nothing to me. I don't want to be her coworker let alone her...kissing buddy."

  "I just..I don't know what to believe", Alison sighed but Emily stood abruptly. "Believe me", she exclaimed. "Your fiancé for crying out loud."

  "I want to okay? But-", Alison began but was cut off as Emily paced the room.

  She stood in place and calmed her breathing before asking, "How the hell are we suppose to stand up there at that alter and say 'I do' when you don't even trust me?"

  Alison shook her head. "I do trust you."

  "Sure doesn't seem like it. You're listening to a bunch of drama-loving teenagers. Are you seriously going to let them ruin what we have?" Emily asked in genuine curiosity.

The blonde haired girl scoffed. "I'm not letting them ruin anything. I...want to believe what you're telling me, I do. But..."

  "But what?" Emily sighed.

  Alison pushed a strand of her own hair behind her ear and crossed her arms. "There's a video", she quietly spoke.

  Emily's neck extended a few inches in shock as she stuttered, "A v-video."

  "Yes Emily a freaking video", Alison repeated in annoyance.

  "Of what?" The brunette asked. "Surely not of me doing anything with Paige."

  "I don't know. I haven't watched it yet", Alison said as she walked over to the desk and picked up the laptop to sit it on the bed.

  Emily slowly sank onto the bed herself as she asked, "What were you waiting for?"
