Dangerous feelings

Chapter 9

Emily had spent more time at Alison's that past week than she had done her own house. She'd occasionally popped back to get some fresh clothes or see her mother for a quick catch up. But Emily and Alison couldn't get enough of each other and had grown closer with each passing day. Emily opening up and letting Alison in had been a huge step in the right direction and the brunette hadn't even thought about having a cigarette the entire time she had spent with Alison. She had never felt more relaxed and at ease.

They had spent many a evening snuggled together on the sofa watching movies on Netflix. They'd gone through many different genres but Emily still found horror her favourite especially as it meant Alison would cuddle in close to her for protection. Alison normally sat against the arm of the chair whilst Emily sprawled out along the sofa with her head in the blondes lap, the blonde absentmindedly playing with Emilys hair which helped them both to relax.

They were still trying to get to know one another, having not known each other for that long in reality. They found themselves quite often falling into a game of 20 questions, be it whilst eating dinner or getting ready for bed. Even after several rounds of the game they were still managing to learn different facts and kept being surprised by some of the other persons responses.

"Favourite animal?" Emily asked as she sat on the counter top, her legs dangling casually off the side whilst watching Alison cook their dinner.

Having finished work later than usual Emily hadn't even bothered to change into her casual clothing and had headed straight to where she could hear the blonde singing at the top of her voice. Emily had waited silently in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe her arms crossed but in a relaxed way. She was secretly admiring Alison's hidden talent before she decided she should make her presence known, a quick chaste peck on the lips between the two and Alison had then waved the brunette out the way so she could resume cooking the stir fry which was one of her specialities.

Emily had jumped up onto the counter with ease, having gotten used to having her arm in a cast pretty quickly. She was met with a glare from Alison who didn't like the brunette sitting on the counter tops, Emily however playfully wiggled her eyebrows in a childish manner and didn't move an inch. Alison looked deep in thought for several seconds whilst she twiddled the wooden spoon she was holding between her hands.

"A leopard" Alison decided upon before jumping straight into the reasoning behind her answer. "They're independent, graceful and strong willed... like me" she ended with her trademark smirk.

Emily nodded at the reply as she watched the blonde move closer to her. Alison made her way in between Emilys legs and brought her arms behind the brunettes neck. She had a look of lust in her blue eyes and Emily watched them darken with every seductive move the blonde made. Alison lent in to kiss Emily but paused once she heard the brunettes reply to the question.

"Mines a pufferfish... I don't really have a reason, they just look funny" and with that Emily puffed out her cheeks and moved her head from side to side as she tried to impersonate the animal.

This had caused Alison to break into a fit of laughter which was met seconds later by the brunette. It took them several minutes before the laughter even began to die down, their breathing loud and heavy as they tried to recompose themselves. Emily wiped a few tears from the corners of her eyes and her face ached from all the smiling she had done. As Alison lent in to kiss Emily once more she was interrupted this time by the timer alerting her that dinner was ready to be dished up. This interruption earned a childish pout and whine from Emily who reluctantly slid off the counter and made her way to the dining table ready for Alison to serve their dinner.

Emily hadn't even broken the rules with her friends and had spent much of Saturday afternoon and evening with them. She had been reluctant to leave Alison but the blonde had persuaded her it would be good to see them. It wasn't that she didn't want to see her friends as such it was more so that she was just wrapped up in Alison and she didn't want the feeling to end. The blonde had promised she would still be there and they would continue what they had been doing once the brunette returned.
