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

Chapter 13: Honeymoon Phase

Alison's POV

I woke up in seemingly familiar sheets. But knowing they're not my own, I turned my head to the side, and then I instantly knew where I was - In one of my favourite places, next to Emily.

I turned my body towards her as subtly as I could, trying not to awake the brunette next to me. Her back was facing me with her dark locks of hair cascading down her bare back. I reached out with my hand to feel the softness of her hair against my fingertips. Under my touch, she began to stir and awaken from her sleep. I felt slightly guilty for waking her.

After a few moments, she turned her body to face me, holding on to the comforter that was covering her, and I was greeted by her beautiful smile.

"How long have you been awake?". She asked me with her morning, husky voice. Looking at me with her sleepy, dazed eyes.

"A couple of minutes".

"You should have woke me up". She spoke to me softly, whilst reaching with her hand to connect mine.

"Why, you looked so beautiful and peaceful".

"I don't want to spend a moment without you when I'm with you". She literally just woke up, and she's being this sweet to me. What did I do to deserve her?

"Aww, well aren't you sweet... Kinda makes me want to kiss you. But, I don't want to because of my morning breath, especially as I forgot to brush my teeth last night".

"Oh yeah, why is that?". Emily tried to tease me with her flirty smile.

"Let's just say, I got a little distracted".

"Distracted... Wow, is that what you would call it".

"Yes, you're very distracting". I couldn't help but smile back to Emily. With her infectious smile, she had this vibe of making me feel uncontrollably happy.

"Am I?... In what way am I distracting?".

"Everything about you distracts me. Your hypnotising eyes, your radiant smile, your perfectly toned body. The list is endless".

"Go on, we've got time".

"We can't have those compliments make you too big headed, now can we".

"I could listen to them all day, especially when they're from you".

"I think its time we got up to start the day, don't you?".

"Why move when I have everything I need right here".

"As tempting as you are, I'm still going to get up and brush my teeth". I settled on kissing Emily's forehead before kissing her hand and regretfully disconnecting our hands, and moving out of the warm bed to head to the bathroom.

As I walk to the bathroom, I realise I'm still naked. But, I still carry on walking without any apprehension as I already know that I can fully be myself with Emily. Which is completely different to how things were with Elliot. So, it's taking a little time to get used to. But, I'm loving the difference.

"Now that's a view I wouldn't mind getting used to". I hear Emily say behind me. I just smile and carry on walking, because for some reason, I feel a little shy. What has Emily done to me?
I reach the bathroom, and put on the robe that's hanging on the back of the door to which I assume is Emily's. At least, I hoped it was Emily's. It looks like something Emily would wear.
I finish up brushing my teeth, when I see Emily walking through the open door, this time wearing a long t-shirt to cover her.

"Aww, why did you get dressed?". Now, it's my time to tease her.
"I didn't want to get cold waiting for you". She walks over towards me and wraps her arms around me to rest her head on my left shoulder as we look at each other through the mirror. "Y'know, being in this room brings back so many memories of last night". Emily admitted to me whilst playing with tie on the robe.
"It does. But, you won't even get a kiss out of me until you brush your teeth". I playfully say to her, and break away from our hold to start to walk out the room.
"Uhh, rude". Emily feigns offence to my comment. "There I was trying to be all playful and flirty, and you just shoot me down with your hygiene routine".
"Yeah well, I guess the honeymoon phase is already over, sweetie". I tried to joke back to her. But in reality, the honeymoon phase was no where near finished, it had only just begun. I left the room, leaving Emily to do what she needed to do in here, on her own.
