Worth falling for

Pushing further

Emily:
Well, Alison did make me do all the homework but she made up for it just by looking extremely attractive in her gray and white beanie.

"Okay, done." I pushed the books away from me and shook out my hand. It had a really bad cramp.

"Get over your hand." She glared at me and took her paper.

"You're welcome." I replied knowing she was horrible at any form of being nice.

"What's that on your neck?" She asked intrigued.

"Uh I don't know what you're talking about." I furrowed my brows together and went to go check out what she was talking about. I looked in the mirror and saw that Ben had bit the spot between my collarbone and my neck, "oh, a hickey I guess."

Something flashed in her eyes but I couldn't tell what it was.

"Oh. How are you and Ben?" She asked in a bored tone.

Images of what happened today flashed through my brain like a horror film. I folded my hands in my lap and smiled, "we're great."

"And you're a horrible liar." She curved her lip into a sneer and crossed her arms.

"Whatever." I used her signature line to let her know that the conversation was over.

"If you don't want help I guess I can't help you." She shrugged and went back to looking bored.

"I don't need help, because we're fine." I said maybe a little bit too sharply.

"K."

Talking to Alison was like walking on thin ice, if you said one wrong thing she was done with you. I kinda liked it.

"Well, I need to go get money so I can eat. I'll see you tomorrow in class." She said breaking into my thoughts.

"You can eat with us." I replied too eagerly, "it's just weird without my dad here.."

Alison looked at me sharply, surprised that I had opened up to her about my dad. I was kind of surprised myself. Why did I have so much trust in someone I hardly knew?

"Okay but I'm a picky eater." She said trying to be difficult again.

"I'll let my mom know," I laughed ecstatic that she was staying, "we can always just order pizza!"

"Why are you so nice to me?" She asked suddenly changing the subject. I stood up off my bed and went to go stand next to her.

"I don't know." I replied honestly, "but let's go eat." I didn't want her to know that I was totally crushing on her. What would she think? She would probably stop talking to me considering she had this weird thing with Noel and I had a boyfriend.
--------
An hour later we had finished getting ready for dinner and eating. I could tell my mom really liked Alison which was unusual considering how my mom was.

"Thank you for dinner, mrs. Fields." I know Alison forced herself to say. I was very proud of her for saying that.

"No problem! Come over any time. You're always welcome here. Emily needs to have more of a social life." My mom stated clearing the plates.

"Mom!" I exclaimed, I turned to Alison and mouthed, "it's not true."

Alison smiled.

Yep, she smiled. Her eyes lit up making them look even more like the sky. Her dimples made me go crazy on the inside and I couldn't help but smile back.

Okay, I should get a freaking award. I made Alison DiLaurentis smile.

Alison:
For once I couldn't control the smile that pulled at my lips. I loved Emily's mother, it felt like I was at home when I was over here at her house. I couldn't ruin this relationship I had created so now there was no way I was going to tell Emily I liked her. I cared about her too much.

I'm not going to hide it to myself anymore, I care about Emily fields. I care that Ben gave her a hickey, I care about her feelings. It also made me care about myself a little more too. What was she doing to me?

I didn't want to go to Noel's or my other friends houses but I didn't want to be rude and invite myself to stay either.

"Well, I'm going to go now..." I said awkwardly after we had gone back to Emily's room.

"You can stay! Like the night." She paused, "if you want."

"Yeah, whatever. You'd be so lucky." I ran my hands through my hair after taking my beanie off.

"Well if you don't want to-" she looked at me and winked.

Okay, that was hot.

"I know you want me to and since I'm in a good mood I'll stay." I replied shrugging it off hoping she would think I was still tough.

"Yeah, okay." She giggled and tossed some pajamas at me, "I'm going to go change. You can stay in here."

While she left and I changed I found myself thinking that she'd be a really good girlfriend. She always seemed to put others first and she hadn't given up on me yet. Which most people had by now. I hadn't felt her hands yet but I'm sure they were soft and loving.

"Are you changed?" I heard Emily's voice call out from behind the bedroom door.

"I'm not your typical girl, I don't take five hours to change." I replied.

She took that as a "yes" and came barging in.

I'm surprised my mouth didn't drop open. She was wearing spandex and a crop-top sleep shirt, revealing a little bit of her toned stomach. She walked over to the bed and sat down. I couldn't help but stare and her toned swimmer legs. I wanted so badly to run my hands over them and wrap them around me but I completely resisted the urge.

"Are we like sleeping in the same bed?" I curved up my lip hoping that she wouldn't know that I was interested in her like that.

"If you want to sleep on the floor, then no." She replied smirking.

"What would Ben think of this?" I crossed my arms thinking I had won.

"What would Noel think of this?" He retorted and I had to admire her guts and persistence.

"Ugh." I groaned but slipped into bed next to her. She made sure we had an even distance between us and that just proved she wasn't into me like that.

This was the best day ever.
