Emily

He came closer to me and pull me towards his lap, my leg was on either side of his leg as he pulled me in for a hug.

"I can't give you rainbows and sunshine, but what I can give you is my heart and my love." He said and nuzzled my hair. "Is this the reason why you didn't want us to be together?" and I nodded my head.

"Silly girl." He said quietly. "No matter what you do, I'm always here for you." He pulled away to look at me. "I'm sorry for being a bad friend and walking out on you when you needed me the most."

And I started crying and wrapped my arms around him. He pulled away after sometime and wiped my tears. "Things will be good, it will get better." As he touched my forehead with his.

"Can I kiss you?" I asked shyly.

He was taken aback.

"Don't do things that you will regret, Em." He said to me.

"I want to kiss you." I said to him and he nodded his head and I leaned closer to him and kissed him.

It's how I remember it felt and taste like. My stomach was in a butterfly and my heart was racing as I played with his hair, and his hair was as soft as I imagined it would be in my touch.

His hand was on my waist and he tried pulling me as close to him as possible. He tasted of mint and the chocolates that we just had.

We pulled away and he said,

"I'm here, Em. I'm here to stay."

Everett and I played UNO together. Usually, I would have preferred playing in groups rather than just two because it will be either one of us winning, but playing with Everett was amusing. He whines, huffed and pouts through out the game.

He folded his arms and turned away from me. He lost all five games and all the time I laughed at him.

I reached out and give him a quick peck on his lip and he was taken aback as I sat back on the bed.

"One more round?" I asked smiling.

"Fine." He said.

When he lost again, he threw the cards on the side and said, "I don't want to play that stupid game anymore."

I laughed at his attitude and he pouted before grinning and looked me with mischief in his eyes.

He reached out and tickled me and I fell back on my back and laughed and squirmed while he tickled me.

"No." I gasped. "Its .not. fair." I said trying to push him away, and he laughed at me. When he stopped tickling me. I pouted and turned my body away from him and folded my arms.

"Are you pouting?" He asked and I didn't answer him. "You're so adorable." He said.

"It's not fair."

He turned me around and pecked my lip. "I missed your laugh." He said to me and I smiled, forgetting about why I was upset.

"Do you miss London?" I asked him as I looked at my hands.

He put his hand on my chin and made me look at him.

" I told you, London and I was never in a relationship in the first place. We were together because she wanted to be popular and I wanted you." He said. "And I feel horrible now, you were going through so much and I was acting like an immature boy."

I give him a small smile and hugged him. "Do you still like me?"

"I do, Em." He said. "Why did you think that I wouldn't like you after hearing that?"

"My parents don't like me because of my biological father's history and I don't know how you will feel too. My mom said, my biological mom put me up for adoption also because she was scared that people will dislike me because of what her husband did."

"No one should hate you for what he did." His jaw was tensed and eyes was dark and stormy.

"I feel better telling someone about it." I said to him.

"Oh, Em.." he said as he pulled me close to him. "I hope things will get better for you."

Everett drove me back home.

"I will let Evan know I will pick you up tomorrow." He said to me.

"It's fine." I said. "You don't have to do that."

"As a boyfriend I should." He said with a grin.

"B-boyfriend?" I stuttered the word and he frowned.

"I thought..." he said.

"I like that." I tell him shyly.

And he looked relieved. "I should ask you to be my girlfriend in a better way."

"You tried a lot of times." I said.

"I know, we should go on another date." He said. "I will be a better date, I swear."

"You were a good date last time. It was just me." I said.

"You went through a lot that day." He said as he tucked my hair behind my ear. "Have a good night.." he paused. "Can I call you baby? Love? Sweetheart?"

And I chuckled at how excited he sounded.

"Yes." I said shyly.

"Have a good night, baby." He give me his dimple smile. "I will call you after dinner. Don't miss me so much."

"I will try." I teased him and he laughed.

I leaned forward and our lips touched. He pulled away quickly.

"If you don't stop now, I will pull you to my lap and things may get a little hot in here." He said and I gasped and smack him a little, playfully and he laughed.

I like hearing him laugh. "Thank you for today. Thank you for being there for me."

"I should have been there back then, I'm sorry about last time. I promise I will be here for you, this time and the rest."
