ALIYA. "Easy. " I warn Sage as I press her head to my shoulder while trying to open my door with the other hand. I manage to successfully get her inside the room without stumbling, guiding her to the bed and carefully lowering her. "Come on. Let's get you out of these. " I mumble as I bend forward and hook my fingers around her pants button, only for Sage to hoist her leg and I lose my balance as I fall on top of her. She hooks her arms around me when I try to get up and I drop my hands to her sides, lifting my face to look at her. "Let go of me. "She giggles and tightens her hold, "I don't think I want to do that. "Her eyes are half-opened as she meets my eyes and I take a gulp. "Sage—" she's close. She's too fucking close and I can feel each breath she takes and let out. One slight slip will be my mouth on hers and that's far from what I want– far from what should happen. She averts her gaze from my eyes, and they're lowered; staring at a place they shouldn't be. "Stop. " I t

EVA. Emerson is moving off my lap with wide eyes. "You want to what?" "Talk to our parents about us. " I repeat my words and he says, "Eva, are you sure about that? I mean, I don't think it'd be that—" "I know how it'd be, Emerson but I'm willing to take that step with you. I don't want to wait for something bad to happen to us or having to take terrible decisions later before we let them know about our feelings. We have the chance to prevent those from happening, so why not take it?" "I understand you. " He sighs. "I mean I do, but still— are you sure you're ready to do this? You have to understand that your father won't easily give into this. " "And that's why we'll have to try together. " I tell him and he smiles. "We will. When do you have in mind?" "I'm thinking tomorrow. " I say and he exclaims, "Tomorrow?" "Yes, tomorrow. We can leave for my place after lectures. " "Do you want to meet your parents first?" He raises a brow and I nod, "I think my father is still more sof

EVA. They are both staring at me with mistrust shining through their eyes and the temperature of the room has turned a lot hotter. I try to control my breath and fold my trembling hands into fists as I say, "My roommate. My roommate wasn't a girl like I was told when I got to my apartment; it was Emerson and we've been living together for—""Enough. I don't want to hear any more. You'll move out of that house and you'll stay away from him. " Dad orders and I shake my head, "I can't. I'm sorry, dad but I can't listen to you. Not this time. "He rises from his seat, eyes challenging me as they meet mine. "I'm instructing you and you're refusing?""Dad, please. " I stand up to move in front of him. "I understand how you feel, but you can't blame me for this. ""Yes, I can and I fucking do! Why the hell didn't you tell me about this the second you found out he's your roommate? Why did you stay there? And why the hell did you lie to us about it?" Because I already had sex with him before

EVA. "Emerson. "My eyes open to the while ceiling and my hand move on its own across the bed, but end up with nothing. My chest drops as I sit up on the bed, my eyes glancing at the clock by the side which reads almost ten. And Emerson is yet to be back. I lift my body to grab my phone, and there are no new notifications from him. "Where did you go?" I mumble as I stare at the numerous messages I've left him before I climb off the bed and head out of his room. The uncomfortable silence in the house swims around me as I stride to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After having a sip, I take the glass with me and pace to the living room, dropping on the couch as I place the glass in front of me. Silence. A drop. A swallow. A heartbeat– the cycle goes on and on with my feet tapping against the floor and my phone in my hand, and when my thoughts go to the point of almost driving me insane, I move from the couch and place a call to Aliya, chewing on my lips as the line rings once a

EVA. "We got groceries yesterday, and you still want ice cream?" Emerson asks as he stops the car and I nod, "Ice cream is the better choice, Ford. ""I can't believe I'm letting you do this. " He sighs as he unfastens his seatbelt and I beam at him, "You love me. ""Damn right I do. " He winks, closing the distance between us to place a kiss on my cheek before he withdraws and says, "I'll be back. " I hum and watch as he takes his wallet from the car compartment before he climbs out while I grab my phone from the side, only for it to vibrate the second it's in my hand. I slide the button to receive before I press it against my ear, "Mom?""Eva. " Her voice comes through. "How are you, baby?""I'm fine. How are you?" I say and there's a sigh from her end. "You know how things are before you left. Your father wants you to come home. ""Why? So he can get me away from Emerson? I already told you, mom. I'm not leaving him. I took the risk of letting him know about my relationship and I

ALIYA. She's shaking. She's shaking too fucking much from all over and my heart is jumping in my chest in fear for her. In fear of what might happen to her. "Deep breathes, Eva. Deep breathes. " I try my best to calm her down, but the sobs don't stop and the trembles only increase, till a point where I'm fucking scared she has no control over it either. "Please, Eva. You need to take deep breaths. " I tell her again, rubbing her back to try to provide some warmth and her head only presses harder against my shoulder, her grip on me getting tighter as no words fall from her mouth other than cries, and my heart both hurts and shakes for her. I know the extent of Eva's love for Emerson, and I'd have thought of everything, but this. They might have misunderstandings and fight when the time comes for it to happen, but never would I have thought that Emerson Ford would take the big step of leaving her. Not this way. Not with her like this. We remain in the position and after several minu

EMERSON. "This place still looks the same. " I say to Eli as I walk inside the house and he lets out a chuckle as he closes the door. "You know I hate having different things often. ""Except women. " I mumble as I turn back to meet his eyes and he's loosening the button by his wrist. "Now come on, brother. Just because you got lucky to find one woman you love doesn't mean you weren't once like me. "I smile and look away from him, my eyes moving across the couch, and I see myself walking inside my living room with Eva sitting right there. My smile drops and I look away. Elias notices the change in my mood and he furrows his brows at me, "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I just remembered something. " I tell him and he hums before he strides into his kitchen while I follow behind him. He opens the fridge and what I see is her in her shorts with a smile on her face as she opens the refrigerator to get one of her favourite flavours of ice cream. She's here. She's everywhere. Every small actio

EVA. "Baby. " The voice echoes around me and a groan leave my lips as I turn my head to the side, only for it to come again. "Eva. " My chest drops and I slowly open my eyes to see him hovering over me with a smile on his face. "Hey, babe. " He grins at me, lifting his hand to my face to tuck a strand of my hair away and I shake my head, struggling to believe the sight of him. "You're here. How can you be here?""I'm here for you, baby. " He whispers, leaning forward to brush his lips against my temple and the familiar shudder rushes through my body. A breath of relief leaves my lips as I speak, "You're here. You're really here. You're here with me. ""That's right, Eva; I'll always be here with you. " He responds and a small smile graces my lips as I raise my hand and let it cover his. "I can feel you. You're here. ""I'm here. " He repeats, and I hum. "Kiss me. ""You need to go back to sleep, baby. " He says instead and I shake my head, "No, I don't want to. I want you to kiss me
