Emily's pov

I woke up at the heat I felt on my bare skin.

Laying on my stomach with the duvet covering the lower part of my body, I squinted my eyes at the light, only to realize it was the morning sun rays coming through the window pane. As my head began to be cleared of sleepiness. Thanks to the sunlight on my face and my back, events of the previous night crossed my mind.

It should be a crime to feel like this, to feel something that resembles elation when someone so dear to me just passed away. I should get sued. The thought of last night made me smile like a lovesick idiot but then I remember I just lost my dad forever. After a mournful day yesterday, I was comforted by Ali's company all through the night. It may not be the best circumstance, no not at all, but I have always yearned for her and I gave in to what my body craved. And I cherish every single moment with her, even if it's that tragic moment where I just lost dad.

While the hollow my dad left in my chest is still empty, Alison managed to fill my heart with another beautiful memory that is last night. I don't know anymore if this should feel right or wrong. I do know that right now I do feel some kind of weightlessness.

Speaking of the beautiful princess that occupies a huge part of my heart and mind, I turned to the other side of the bed with my reaching arms. Grasping an empty space in the large bed made me frown. I was alone butt naked under the duvet and Ali is nowhere inside this room.

Which is by the way I just realized was hers.

As much as it pained me to wake up alone in bed yet again after an adventurous night with her, I willed myself to get up and go downstairs. Well, to be completely honest, it really doesn't matter because I have a flight going back to California today, so might as well get over it. I picked up my clothes and put it back on and checked the time.

10:27 am.

My flight will be this afternoon at five thirty. I got little time to say goodbye since I still yet to pack the meager pieces of clothing I brought with me. I just need to find where Ali is and get the goodbye part done and over with.

If I'm being completely honest, I really don't want to say goodbye...

I walked the hallway and as I bound the steps going downstairs, I was welcomed by the scent of bacon and cheese and strong coffee. Ali must be in the kitchen preparing her signature bacon and cheese toasties.

That brought another idiotic smile on my face again.

I quietly made my way to the kitchen. She didn't notice me yet as she was facing the stove and humming that familiar tune. The tune of that song she never gets tired of singing everytime it's playing on the car radio or her phone and I still never get to understand why. I watched her every move in deliberate silence as I crossed my arms in my chest, wary that my erratically beating heart would jump out of it and flutter around the beautiful blonde in front of me.

" 'cause I love her with all that I am... And my voice shakes along with my hands... 'cause she's all that I see and she's all that I need and I'm out of my - Jesus freakin' Christ!!"

She exclaimed as she turned to see me by the fridge behind her smirking, "I almost dropped the pan, you scared me!"

I can't stifle my laugh any longer so I burst out with a loud cackle. She's really adorable when she's all flustered and caught off guard with the pan and spatula in both of her hands.
