"You seem happy today," Emma said. She dropped what she had been holding on the counter, turning to Mark's direction.Mark had been humming and smiling while cleaning. He was extra active on some days but today was different and Emma could sense it.He dropped what he was doing then turned in Emma's direction. "I submitted my Essay finally. Thanks for the advice. I also have a good feeling about it too.""You're going to get in, I know it. You're very smart too. No ivy league wouldn't rush for that kind of talent."Mark smiled. Before they could continue their discussion, they got distracted by Mark's classmate.The girl who came to the shop everytime just for Mark to attend to her and to see him.Emma smiled teasingly at Mark after the girl got to them. "Hey," The girl said shyly."Hello," Mark responded. He didn't do much talking to girl's so he didn't know how the conversation should go."So, I was thinking of going to the Movies. Would you like to come along?" She asked.Emma c

Emma's phone rang continuously. She had slept off. She reluctantly stood from where she was sleeping. Rubbing the sleep off her face. She picked up her phone, she had missed calls from her mum.It was almost midnight, she hadn't realized that time had gone that much. She switched on the light next to her bed. She struggled out of bed, She walked towards the living room. She realized that her mum hadn't gotten back from work yet, but she hadn't told her about being on any night shift.Before Emma could dial her mum's number back, She called her back."Hello," Emma said in a sleepy voice."I need you at the hospital now!!" She said, breathing heavily. Emma could sense the unease in her voice. Emma's heart began to raise rapidly."Mum, calm down, what's going on," Emma said, her hand trembling as she held the phone tightly towards her ears."It's Helen," her mum said, her voice breaking."What's wrong with Helen?" Emma asked."She is here, come quick." Before Emma could ask anymore qu

Emma turned to look at Eric. She could inevitable say that she had the best night in forever. She watched as he slept peacefully like a newborn baby. She kept her hands on his chest while looking up at him. she did not know what this was but she didn't want to think too much about it. Where they together now? Were they just going to be sex buddies? She had so many thoughts in her head this morning but she wasn't going to let it ruin her day."hello beautiful" Eric said, turning towards Emma. She smiled as he held her close to him. his morning breath didn't even seem so bad. She just really loved being there with him and wouldn't want to be anywhere else, except from the fact that her sister was still in the hospital and she needed to be there.She had thought about how her sister was in the hospital and she was here having sex but she had convinced herself that it was beyond her and it was not something that she could control.Emma stood from the bed after placing a kiss on Eric's lip

"I am leaving now, my shift starts at 9 and it's past 8 already," their mum said. Packing in her breakfast hurriedly and picking up her work stuffs."bye, mum," They both said.Emma and Helen sat in the dinning eating their sandwich."Are you sure you're ready to go to work?" Emma asked."I am. Don't worry about me.""Alright then, Do not forget to tell me everything about it, when you get back home. I should leave now too.""bye, have a great day at work dear."It's been a couple of days since Helen got back from the hospital and she was starting the new job today. She was excited really. Wasn't sure how she was going to fit in because everyone probably went to the best design school.She knew Emma must have gone through so much to get her this job and she wasn't going to let her down.Eric sat in his office scribbling down new ideas in his notepad about the company. He wanted something better than his step brother's idea but nothing was coming to his head. That was the first time h

"It was really nice, thank you for inviting me," Emma said as she and Henry walked back home from the anniversary done at the poetry house."Thanks again for agreeing to come with me. I would have never thought you would.""I honestly didn't think you would want to talk to me after last time," Emma said."why wouldn't I ? I am okay with whatever decision you make. I just couldn't hold it in again and had to say something. I am the one who embarrassed myself and probably should never have said anything," Henry said.Emma felt bad for how she had treated him even though she did nothing other than not reciprocate how he felt towards her."Don't be like that, It's alright.""I just don't want to lose my friend, that's all," Henry said, smiling and Emma did the same.Emma was glad that they had settled what was causing the tension between them. She liked Henry as a friend and enjoyed his company too. she wouldn't want them to have a fall out.Henry wasn't one who backed down from a fight e
