Dangerous feelings

Chapter 21

New Year's Eve was finally upon them and Emily sat besides Alison in Philadelphia airport incessantly tapping her foot with anticipation. She was so excited to be going away even if it was just for a long weekend, with Noah staying at Pam's it was the perfect opportunity for some much needed alone time. Or so she thought. She had been hyper ever since she had dropped her son off and they'd finished packing for the trip.

The weekend away was almost cancelled however when Emily tried to make Alison stay at home. For the last couple of days the blonde had been feeling under the weather once more and had spent several days no further than a few feet away from the bathroom. These bouts of sickness were starting to worry Emily but Alison just shrugged off her girlfriends concern each time saying it was just a stomach bug.

Emily had said that if the blonde wasn't well on the day of travel then they would cancel the trip and just go away when Alison was feeling up to it. The blonde however was determined for them to get away and luckily woke up feeling a lot better than she had the previous days. She had thrown up once but that had been when Emily was dropping Noah off at Pam's and by the time the brunette returned Alison had managed to perk herself up once more.

Emily had made Alison pull over at a shop on their drive to the airport and returned to the car with her hands full of different types of sweets for the plane ride. She really was like a child at times but that's what Alison loved about her, how fun and carefree the brunette was. Emily jumped back into the car with a giant grin upon her face before putting on her seatbelt and turning to face Alison.

"What?" Emily questioned with her eyebrow raised when she noticed alison was staring at her.

"Nothing, I just think you're adorable" Alison replied with a shy smile before turning the engine on and pulling out of the car park.

The trip to the airport was relatively short and they were soon sat in the departure lounge waiting for the announcement that their plane was boarding. Emily had filled her carry on with all the sweets she had purchased and nothing much else whereas Alison's had a book, all her money and a couple of magazines. Emily had ridiculed the blonde for packing so much for such a short flight but only time would tell if her words would come back to bite her on the ass.

Back in Rosewood Aria and Spencer were finally packed after Spencer was stressing about what clothes she was going to wear that evening and unpacking and repacking her case several times. They were sat in Spencer's living room drinking yet more coffee with the tv on in the background and waiting for Hanna and Caleb to arrive so that they could head over to the airport as soon as they received the go ahead from Alison. If Alison and Emilys plane was delayed even slightly the entire plan would be ruined and they would end up having to spoil the surprise early when they got through the departure gate.

Hanna and Caleb arrived two minutes before Alison text them to say they would be boarding soon and the couple didn't even have time to get inside the house before they were packing the car with Aria and Spencer's luggage and heading out to the airport. Hanna's overly excitable mood was enough to raise the mood of the entire car and within minutes they were all extremely buzzing for the weekend that was ahead.

Emily had lasted all of ten minutes after takeoff before whining at Alison that she was bored and needed entertaining. Barely looking up from her book Alison had passed one of her magazines over to her girlfriend before continuing where she had left off. The magazine had kept Emily quiet for almost another ten minutes before she was irritating Alison by shuffling around and constantly asking the blonde random questions. She didn't understand how someone couldn't keep themselves entertained for an hour long flight and thought she would have been better off bringing Noah as the three year old would have probably behaved better.
