Emily awoke hours later to warmth surrounding her and something tickling her nose. She opened her eyes to see that it was blond locks that tickled her, and not just any blonde locks, but those of Alison DiLaurentis. Sure they'd slept together on numerous occasions, but that never stopped the flipping in her stomach or butterflies erupting. She felt the most at peace in her arms and she wished the moment wasn't so fleeting when she felt Alison stir. She felt Alison's arms unwrap from her and she had to stop it.

"Can we stay like this for a minute," she says grabbing Alison's arms.

"Of course," Alison responds sleepily. "How are you feeling?" she asks.

"Like crap," Emily responds. "I just feel so unbalances and out of control".

"I understand, but soon you'll be back to the old Emily," she says.

"I don't want to be the old Emily who cares what other people think and shoot for perfection. I just want to be plain Emily, why can't I be plain Emily?" she asks and her voice cracks.

"You can be Emily without the pressures, but you'll never be plain. You're so special," Alison says now forcing Emily's chin upwards so they could stare into each other's eyes.

"What's so special about me? That I'm too kind and trusting and the weakest link?" she asks with tears now flooding her eyes.

"No! You make this world a better place. You make it more bearable to live in. If all we had were a bunch of Alison's, Spencer's, Hanna's, Aria's, Mona's running around, we'd all be in trouble. We need more Emily's in the world to balance us. You're the good to our evil, your kindness may be a weakness to others, but it's also your strength. Not everyone has the ability to be as forgiving as you or see the good in everything or everyone. That's a gift that many would kill for, what I'd kill for," she says and the whole speech makes Emily lurch herself further into Alison.

"I love you," Emily mutters.

"What?" Alison asks not able to hear her against her shirt. Emily gets the courage to look up into her eyes.

"I love you," Emily says and she thought she would see anger, disgust, confusion written on Alison's face but all she could see was relief, happiness and maybe absolution from all her sins.

"You have no idea what it feels like to hear you say that," Alison says and now her voice cracks.

"What do you mean?" Emily asks now sitting up.

"I've been running away from something that has been staring me in the face for so long and I didn't realize that what I had was something that only a few people get to experience in their lifetime. I got to experience unconditional love and it didn't come from parents or family like you'd expect, but it came from you. I've never been good with my emotions and feelings, and I don't really know how to express them. I wish I could say I love you, but I don't," she says and hurt flashes across Emily's face. "It's more than that. I can't put it into words. It makes my heart ache when I'm not around you or I can't touch you. It hurts to see you hurting so bad, I feel over the moon when you smile at me, and God when you kiss me, my whole body becomes alive. I never thought I had a heart or soul, but when I'm with you, and you look at me with those eyes, I know you see something in me that I can't even see in myself and I just want to hold onto that feeling because I know that I will do something to mess this up," she cries.

"You don't have to hold onto it, because there isn't anything you can say or do to stop me from loving you the way that I do, hell even death itself couldn't stop me from thinking, dreaming, crying and obsessing over you and the way you would smile at me like you wouldn't smile at the other girls. Now that you've said those words, you have to know that there's no chance in hell that I'm letting you go," she says firmly.

"I wish I was as brave as you, I wish I could love freely like you do," Alison says.

"I can't love freely because the only person I can fall in love with is you. Everyone else I've dated, I've been so guarded because a person's heart can only belong to that one person once you meet the love of you life, and I'd already met mine by the time I dated Maya and Paige. Sure I loved them, but it was never like I could love you. With you it's so breathtaking and earth shattering and mind-blowing. It's like electricity falling from the sky; no one can explain it yet they can't take their eyes off of it. It's magnetic and I know you feel it too".

"I feel it so badly. That's why I could never leave Rosewood behind; you were always pulling me back. The only one I can see myself opening up to fully without all those damn masks is you. I can't love anyone else besides you and I guess that means that you're the one for me," Alison says bringing her fingers to her lips and a distant look appears in her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Emily asks snapping her out of her trance.

"The first time we kissed," she smiles and the light returns to her eyes making Emily beam.

"How's this?" Emily asks before leaning towards Alison. When their lips collide it's like a kaleidoscope of memories and pictures flash before them as they deepen the kiss. Flashes of their troubled past together and their carefree future take place in their minds making them subconsciously press their bodies together craving more contact. Emily's tongue darts across Alison's bottom lip and after a few seconds she's granted access. Her tongue nearly devours Alison's as she explores the depths of her lover's mouth. Their lips moved in synch as if they were lovers from another lifetime. Alison's hands find Emily's back and pull her weight flush on top of her. She moans at the contact into Emily's mouth and the vibrations on Emily's tongue causes a spark to ignite. Emily's hands are now busy trailing up and down Alison's curvaceous body and comes into contact with her breast before squeezing it gently eliciting an arched back from Ali. Alison's position causes them to break contact at their mouth and their lungs fill with much needed air. Emily presses her head against Ali's and they breath the same air before moving her head horizontally so their lips touch slightly. Alison leans forward to start another kiss only for Emily to pull away slightly and push her shoulders down. Emily's bottom lip touches Ali's upper lip a few times before giving in. Her thumb traces patterns on her cheek and moves blond hair behind the owner's ear. She leans forward to capture the cherry lips that makes her legs quiver in excitement. Alison's hands travel down to her ass and pull it not so gently into her and the friction causes them to gasp.

"Are you sure?" Emily asks hesitantly knowing what's going to happen.

"Yes," Alison smiles before Emily rolls off her and goes to lock the door. She comes back and strips off her shirt leaving her in a sport bra and jeans. She crawls back towards Alison and works on her pants. She unzips them and slides them off the blonde's legs to reveal red lace panties. She kisses Alison's legs and nips her inner thigh before playing with the waistband of her panties. Her hands trail up to the hem of her shirt while scratching Ali's stomach. She lifts the shirt past Ali's boobs and sees a matching red lace bra against creamy skin making her shiver in anticipation. The shirt comes off as Alison sits up and works on her jeans. She unbuckles her belt and unzips the pants to see Emily wearing black boxer briefs.

"I knew you were more of a boxer brief kind of girl," Alison winks.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Emily asks curious.

"You can tell a lot about a person by what they wear underneath," she says.

"What does boxer briefs say?" Emily asks.

"Shy on the streets, sexy in the sheets," Alison teases and they both remember the first time she said that.

"Oh you're in for a ride," Emily says in a cocky tone that put Alison off balance at her comeback.

"Good thing I don't like seatbelts," she retorts loving the foreplay.

"Good thing I don't come with any," Emily winks knowing that Alison is now speechless giving her to perfect opportunity to take off her jeans and climb in between her legs. They kiss slowly and Emily can smell her orange scent. "I love the way you smell," she says out loud.

"I'll keep that in mind," Alison smirks before resuming the kissing. Emily's left hand snakes to her back and Alison can tell she's an expert when it only takes one hand to unclasp her bra and leave her upper body exposed. She feels slightly uncomfortable with Emily now on her knees staring at her.

"You're so beautiful," Emily says and now she feels reassured. Emily places kisses on her neck before sucking on her collarbone.

"Don't leave any marks!" Alison says adamantly making Emily smirk against her skin.

"I'll try not to," she says honestly knowing she can be a little aggressive. She makes her way to Ali's right breast and wraps her lips around a nipple causing Alison to jerk towards her and moan loudly. Her tongue flicks over the nub before blowing on it to make it impossibly harder.

"Em," Alison whispers and Emily gives the same treatment to the left breast. She kisses softly in between her breasts before moving down to her navel and dips her tongue making Alison's stomach flutter. She slightly bites her right hip before moving to the place she desired most. She breathes heavily against it because she knows that Alison can feel everything through the thin material. Her body is quivering, waiting for Emily's next move. Emily spreads her thighs and bites her inner thigh and she hears a sharp gasp from the blonde. She places her index fingers inside the waistband and slowly moves the panties down her legs.

"Em," Alison says a little clearer making Emily look at her face and she sees fear and nervousness.

"Are you okay?" Emily asks again.

"I'm a virgin," she says and it shocks Emily. She thought Alison had so much experience.

"But what about?" Emily asks.

"I've only kissed them, nothing more," Alison says truthfully.

"Are you sure you want to continue?" Emily asks and Alison nods. "I'll be gentle," she says now sitting on her knees. She takes in the full sight of Alison now fully naked. She sees Alison's hands making their way to her boobs and now exposed vagina and Emily grabs her hands softly.

"Are you nervous?" Emily asks.

"Yes," Alison says.

"Why?" she asks.

"Because I don't know what I'm doing or if everything looks alright," she says.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You're breathtaking," Emily says softly removing her hands to uncover a sight that makes her speechless. "Have you ever had an orgasm?" she asks.

"No," Alison says and her cheeks flush red.

"Well good, I want to be your first," Emily says to take away from her embarrassment. She leans forward and captures Alison's lips in hers. She leans her full weight on Alison and feels the heat radiating off of her against her boxer briefs. Her hands rub Alison's nipples and feel her breath hitch. Her right continues on its path down her stomach to Alison's folds. She looks in Alison's eyes for the final confirmation before a finger separates her folds. Emily's finger traces around her clit making her shake at the contact but wanting more.

"Please Em," she says and Emily squeezes her clit between her index and thumb softly. "Ohh," she moans. Emily begins to rub the nub until it's swollen and her fingers trace down to her entrance. She circles Alison's entrance making her more frustrated by the second. "Please," she begs as her back arches when Emily leans forward to suck on her pulse point in her neck and enter her with one finger. It was slightly weird to have something inside her for the first time, but the feeling of Emily's lip on her neck overtook the weirdness. After a few moments, Emily begins to pump in and out of her causing Alison to gasp.

"How does it feel?" Emily asks.

"So good," Alison chokes out and Emily leans down to capture her nipple between her teeth and bites it softly and Alison's body jerks. "More," she says and Emily pulls out only to enter in with two fingers completely filling Alison. She repeats her actions five times before she feels a slight pressure on her fingers. She gets the idea to press her thumb to Alison's clit and curve her fingers as she blew on Alison's wet nipple. The reaction she received was Alison clenching on her fingers harder than anyone ever had. It was slightly painful, but the look on Alison's face was a beautiful sight. She was mesmerized by the sweat beading on Alison's skin, her mouth open giving off moans and calling her name, and her body arching into her radiating a heat that felt like lava. Overcome by her first orgasm, Alison wasn't able to form any coherent thoughts or words for a few minutes as she came down from her high. Once she was able to open her eyes, she felt herself loosen and Emily's hands leave from inside her. She immediately missed the contact and feeling of being filled, but she saw Emily lick her fingers. To any other person it might be weird, but it turned her on even more to see it.

"You taste like oranges," Emily smiles before leaning down to give her a chaste kiss and roll onto her back. Alison still trying to control her breathing is pulled into Emily as her head rests on her chest. She wraps her arm around the olive skin and revels in the contact. She can feel that Emily's body feels a few degrees below hers and also notices the sweat that formed on her naked body. Emily begins to blow on her as if it could cool her down before pulling a blanket over them. "How was it?" Emily asked.

"It was better than I can put into words," Alison said looking up at Emily and she receives a beaming smile knowing that she stroke what little ego Emily possessed or so she thought.

"I told you that you'd be in for a ride," Emily winks and says in a cocky tone.

"How come you're never this cocky with other things, not even swimming?" Alison wonders.

"I have no idea," Emily laughs. "I just take pride in my abilities in the bedroom even though I would never talk about them openly," she clarifies.

"Shy in the streets, sexy in the sheets," Alison says and they both laugh and feel the effects of their night as their eyes become heavy.

"I love you Ali," Emily says.

"I love you too Em," Alison replies and feels pressure against her head before she drifts into a peaceful sleep.
