I've Always Loved You. Always Have, Always Will - Emison

Chapter 10: What Dreams Are Made Of

"I cant believe we just did that". Alison spoke in amazement about what they just did. As cliché as it sounds, Alison couldn't get over the fact, she is in Emily's car, driving into the sunset, going god knows where. What a moment to have to cherish for the future.
Alison couldn't have asked for anything better right now. For so long, she's fantasised about being with Emily romantically, so now that it's actually happening, she couldn't believe it was real life.

"I would do it again and again just to be with you". Emily softly spoke, reaching for Alison's hand to kiss the back of it as she was driving to an unknown destination. "So where do you wanna go?".

"I have no idea. It's been such a long time since I've been on a date, I don't really know how to have fun".

"Aww, that sounds so sad". Emily responded as she stroke her thumb against Alison's hand which she was holding for reassurance. "Well I can help you change that. Are you hungry, we could go get something to eat?".

"Sure, but you pick".

"Are you gonna make me decide everything?". Emily asked.

"You're the one who practically dragged me out here". Alison teased, trying to get a reaction out of her love interest. "If it weren't for you, I would be wined and dined right now 'til my hearts content".

"Yeah and we all know how much fun you would have". Emily said sarcastically.

"...Okay, you're right. You saved me. How did you know?". Alison caved into Emily's charm.

"Because I'm the one for you". Emily admitted confidently.

"My one and only". Alison smiled in response.

Five minutes into the car journey later, Emily and Alison finally reached their desired restaurant. An idyllic Italian venue, perfect for creating the atmosphere Emily was looking for.

"I don't know what to order. I don't wanna eat anything that will embarrass me". Alison stated her worry about first date etiquette as she read what was on the menu.

"Ali, it's not like we haven't eaten in front of each other before". Emily responded almost laughing at how ridiculous Alison was sounding, but she was still cute though nonetheless.

"True... Do you remember when, you and Hanna got really competitive during that pizza eating contest we had". Alison spoke as she remembered what happened, whilst trying to hold back her laughter. "Then there was Aria, Spencer and I, barely managing to eat one pizza".

"God, I've never felt so full in all my life after that day". Emily laughed along with Alison, thinking how beautiful Alison looked when she laughed. "I don't even remember who won in the end, I was too much in a food coma".

"I think Hanna called it a draw, but you argued you won because you ate your last crust and Hanna didn't". Alison continued to laugh, remembering Hanna's pettiness.

"Sounds about right". Emily replied, still not fully remembering what happened all those years ago.

"Are you both ready to order?". The waiter asked, once he reached their table.

"I think we are". Emily replied for them both, causing Alison to have a flustered expression on her face as she was put under pressure to know what to order. "I'll have a pepperoni pizza". Alison smiled at Emily's decision after their whole conversation about pizza.

"I'll have the lasagne". Alison decided on

"Can we get a bottle of white wine to share?". Emily added.

"Of course". The waiter responded as he wrote their order down on his notepad. "Can I get you two anything else?". He offered.

"No thank you". Emily replied, gaining a friendly smile from the waiter.
