Truth

Emily's POV

The sudden sensation of warmth and gentle pressure on my neck slowly coaxes me out of my sound sleep.

"Mmmm" I reactively moan as my eyes flutter open and I realize Alison is on top of me, straddling me at the waist, and peppering my neck with slow, sensual kisses.

Pulling away, allowing the long trellises of her hair to fall effortlessly over her face, Alison smiles widely and says, "Good morning Em".

Looking up at her, I stare deeply into her ocean blue eyes, completely in awe and entranced by everything about her. Even in the silence that surrounds us as we remain locked in our intense gaze, a thousand little unspoken words fill the spaces between us. "How did I get so lucky? You...are....so beautiful" I say in a dreamy tone of voice, earning a heavy blush to flood her cheeks before a wide, closed mouth smile cracks across her face.

"You mean so much to me in such a short amount of time. I've never felt like this before" Alison admits frankly.

"It's almost like words can't do it justice. I just feel it.... and it's intense" I reply knowing exactly what she's feeling.

Alison's eyes suddenly darken and her lids become heavy with desire as she begins to lean into me. Capturing our lips in a searing kiss, Alison glides her hands through my hair, earning a pleasurable moan in the process. Naturally, my hands gradually begin a happy decent along the outer curves of her body, leaving a trail of goosebumps behind me before resting on the soft flesh of her shapely butt. Alison moans into my lips the moment I begin to massage her cheeks, feeling the heat begin to rise between us. Seizing the opportunity, I quickly slide my tongue in her mouth and begin to explore every inch of her mouth.

Pulling away, Alison says breathlessly, "While I like where this is going... I think we should have some breakfast".

"Noooo" I whine as I pull her back to the bed before she successfully sneaks off to the kitchen.

Giggling in my firm embrace as we crash back down on the bed, I roll over on my side, and cup her face in my hand.

"I just want us to stay in this bed all day" I plead with a pouted lip.

"Let's shut out the rest of the world" I suggest hoping she'll give in.

"While I do love this idea, I'm hungry" Alison replies rubbing her stomach.

"Fine. I'll make us something" I reply giving her a quick peck on the lips and scurrying towards her kitchen.

Pausing in the doorway, I turn around and say, "But after this, I'm not leaving your side".

Alison and I spent the rest of the day in bed kissing, binge watching tv shows, ordering in, and soaking in each other's company. But there's something important that we need to discuss. I hope she's ready...

"Ali" I say suddenly breaking the comfortable silence between us while I mindlessly run my fingers through her hair as she rests her head on my chest.

"Yes babe," she replies as she traces figure eights over my stomach.

"You see... my parents are having a late dinner tonight for just the three of us" I begin to say nervously.

"And... well I was thinking about using this time away from the public eye to share with them that you and I are... well... a thing" I explain further.

Alison instantly halts her lackadaisical hands and replies hesitantly, "Are you sure you're ready for that?"

"Well I wanted to make sure that you were ready for that as well before I went ahead and told them...because I am ready" I reply honestly.
