The call ended between the two of them with him saying that. Why was it that two guys were now trying to vie for her attention? It almost seemed laughable. If a third person came into her life saying they wanted to date her, she half thought she would pull her hair out. Emma Jean checked the mirror one last time to make sure she was presentable for the day. As she was heading out, she received another text message from Kenji. It was only an emoji. A winking emoji. Instead of replying she left the message on read.When she got outside the driver was there waiting for her. She gave him a smile. He was always there and waiting for her. Seeing as two men wanted her attention, she couldn’t help asking him about his feelings. “You don’t have any affections towards me, do you?”The man was taken aback by her statement. He never thought she would talk to him. He stood there staring at her. It took him until they both were seated in the vehicle that he f

The day went to hell after she had breakfast with Sam. He had gone out to get her a Denver omelet and orange juice from the waffle house. For himself he had a breakfast sandwich and strawberry milk. The two of them ate together in mostly silence. Emma Jean had been eating with a fork so to keep her hands as free as possible. Sam tried to hurry to eat to get out of her way. When she noticed that she laughed at him. “Sam, take your time. What will I do if you choke and have to go to the hospital?” “Choke? I used to be in the military. This is a normal, everyday way of eating.” “Well thank you for your service but you aren’t in the military anymore. So, you should slow down. Seriously what will I do if you go to the hospital. I wouldn’t be able to get home. And I would be without another person on my team.” “Is this your way of saying you care about me even a little bit?” “I care about everyone that works with me. even more if they’re a friend.”

Emma Jean got out of the car with a bashful smile on her face. Sam watched her head up the stairs. It was the first time since starting his job for her that he didn’t do his duties to the utmost of his abilities. She had caught him off guard. He placed his hand on his cheek wondering what will become of the two of them. Emma Jean was already inside with her back against the door. She fanned her face hoping the heat would subside. Looking at her wall clock, she pushed herself off the door to go and get ready. Initially she was going to wear a simple pantsuit but if the possibility of seeing Sam again come up, she wanted to look her best for him. “It’s probably wrong to dress up for another guy when you’re going on a date.” The suit she had laid out on her bed for tonight was placed back inside the closet. She thumbed through all of her dresses. Each one didn’t feel like it would make her desirable. She was nearing the back of her closet when she came across her pale b

A deep voice came from behind Kenji, when he looked over, he now had a face for what was causing her to be tensed. “Hello Sweet Emma Jean. It’s good to see you again.”She didn’t say anything just stared at him. Kenji took it upon himself to speak to the man. “It seems your presence is making her uncomfortable. You should leave.”“I could do that but then I wouldn’t be able to catch up with my sweet girl.”Somehow, she found her voice. She didn’t want Kenji to have to defend her. “No you should leave. It’s rude to crash someone’s date.”He expertly took her hand from Kenji’s and lifted it up to kiss the back of her hand. “It’s not rude. I am your captain for the evening.”She quickly pulled her hand away from him, wiping it against her dress. Just knowing that his disgusting saliva was on her once again made her want to vomit. “You&rsqu

Kenji leaned back from the table after he finished swallowing his first bite. His eyes were closed. The first taste he could tell the food was made perfectly. He opened his eyes to see Emma looking at him. “What?”“Nothing, just wondering if that’s the way you look when something is delicious?”“Yeah, maybe so.” He straightened himself up to continue eating. “So, Little princess, tell me the story about that guy.”She sighed, even though she agreed to talk about him she really didn’t want to discuss it. “Yeah, I did make a promise, right?”“You did indeed.”She stabbed at her mashed potatoes, then stirred them around. “So, you know his name is Johnny. He was actually my very first boyfriend. God, I think I was about fifteen maybe sixteen. I was completely innocent.”“I can’t picture you as this young innocent girl.”&ldquo
