Shawn takes Emma in her room and making her lay in bed was about to take the couch when she stops him holding his hand. Shawn freezes thinking who held his hand when she was sleeping. He cranes his neck to find Emma's eyes glowing under the moonlight with a unknown wavering emotions lying in her eyes. Feeling confused he raises his eyebrows when she says, "Can you please sleep with me tonight? I-I feel scared", she said with a pain in her voice.From the moment she heard Nancy talking to her daughter showering so much love and endearment in call. And then running to meet her as she was returning from hostel last day, a sudden urge to have such a relationship with her mother also clouded her heart. And that's what she was busy thinking when she fainted and in her dreams she kept crying like that. Shawn didn't questioned her but simply slept beside her sliding under the duvet. He was feeling some foreign sensations rising inside him but pushing it inside he tries to remain calm and stra
Emma's POVLast night I was thinking that I need a doctor but today after seeing him, I'm sure he needs that more than me. Like did you just see how drastically he changed in this whole 24 hours. Like the one who I knew is far...like very far from this Shawn. He is flirting, smiling, being gentle and caring, and adorable and loving. And most importantly a flirt!!!I let it slide down from my head last night but now I'm sure he is actually doing those things purposefully. I mean he just picked me up in his arms, carried me and made me sit on the platform. Like dude he could have just said to me or get me a chair but no he actually did that. Then the way he didn't react to me kissing him mistakenly nor of being clumsy instead he mocked and smiled. He then made me taste that curry and after wiping it from the corner of my lips licked it. He actually did, and I saw that from my own fucking eyes. After that he picked me up to get me down from that, which I could have done all myself but no
Author's POVAfter doing prayers and getting some peace to their souls they left Gurudwara and on their way Shawn got a call for work. He tried to avoid that but hearing it's an emergency and he needs to meet them, he sulked and cut the call.He seems pissed, Emma thinks as she looks at him from the gunshot seat."Umm… are you okay? Who was that?", She asked."I-I have an emergency Em! And I need to leave there. I'm sorry!", he apologises with sad eyes and her heart clenched."It's okay… I'll go home alone. Have a good day", she said, understanding his situation.Emma was sure that it's really important or else he wouldn't have left her like that. She was about to open the door when he stopped her by locking the door. "You are coming with me. I can't leave you alone", he announces."But what will I do there? It's your work, do it and come back home. Don't act stubborn Shawn… I'm fine and I can stay alone", she insisted but he remained silent indicating he made his mind already and she
Author's POV After returning from there Emma was inside her room locking the door. She didn't want to face anyone but herself and stayed like that for hour's, sitting on the bed with her knees pulled close to her chest and head above it. She was holding on to her knees as she cried her lungs out but in a hushed tone. She didn't want Shawn to hear her cry like a kid but he knew already as he sat outside her door on the couch in the lobby of her floor. He didn't know how to coo her and hence silently sat there helplessly when George called him and after a little hesitation he answered it."Hey Shawn. I hope my daughter is not a pain in ass to you. Btw where is she? She is not answering my calls", he says, making Shawn sigh tiredly."Actually George, her phone is with me and maybe it's on silent. So, I didn't hear it. Sorry!!", he apologised in a low voice."What happened? Is everything okay? I mean her phone is with you and you are sounding low as well", he asks with concern and he sig
Shawn gave off for the day to all servants and locking every door and window he went upstairs with her favourite foods, gifts, ice-creams and a hot water bag kept in a trolley. While Emma was sitting in Indian style folding her legs with her head leaned in the headboard. She was silently watching the moon glow up the brightest while the stars tugged in the sheets of sky dangled. A serene smile spread on her lips as she hugged herself from inside the duvet when Shawn knocked at the door softly and grabbed her attention. Turning her head she was surprised to find him doing so much effort for her and was overwhelmed with everything. When Emma's eyes catch attention on a particular thing making her tear up in tears. Crawling she quickly grabbed it in her hands blurring other things and hugged it to her chest looking in awe. It looked almost like a replica of her pet dog she had and that made a sad smile adorn her lips. She misses that cute pet she had and gazes up at Shawn who had the s
Author's POV Sitting in her off white paint balcony on the deep red couch with white sheets on it having light orange, green and blackish blue vertical stripes. She seated there crossing her legs in indian style with a silvery brow cover cushion on her lap. The view of a beautiful garden from her lawn was captivating her eyes while the smell of different flowers filled her nostrils as the cold breeze passed by her every now and then. The sun wasn't bright instead it was clear blue sky weather today giving cosy vibes. And it reminded her of the past few days where she hugged him tight at night and slept like a baby. While he caressed her back and cheeks until she was asleep and recalling that a light pinkish blush crept on her cheeks. "These days were one of the best days of my life and today it will all come to an end. He will be gone to his house and she will be back to that nosy and detective mode. Tracking his location and crashing down meetings and visiting offices often just to
Days passed and now it's been a week but there is no sign of Shawn at all. Two days ago at least he answered her call and said he has a surprise for her which is somehow related to the question she asked him that day. But after that his phone is off till now and she doesn't have any news of him. She tried to ask her dad and even Shane but all they said was, "He is busy with some work and is out of town. No one knows where he is and when he will be back".I wonder if he has always been like this or it's just me acting a bit crazy after knowing that he has some surprise for me. But I don't know why the uneasiness I felt that day is unnecessarily just eating me up. I am feeling anxious and my heart gets heavy every now and then thinking about him and me aka 'US'. I feel like something big is going to happen, so big that it will change my life drastically. It's like a big storm is going to come and this utter silence in my life is a signal of that. The darkness is slowly consuming me and
Emma was about to walk out when that guy says, "Think again… you can't back off later on", he says, checking her feisty attitude which gives a killer vibes and feels amazed by it. "Emma Addison never backs off of her words… So.. you get ready to lose because Shane will win this match for me", she announces and sharing a last glare she walks out in fury.While her friends tail behind her, everyone feels under pressure and their hearts beat fast. They weren't sure whether they could win or not but now that Emma has got herself in a new challenge the tension arises. Shane stops her holding her hand as she is about to go back to her seat. "Emma.. why did…", she pauses him placing her finger on his lips."No one has any right to demean my friends and their capabilities and the one who does needs to go through my wrath", she seethes. "But Emma… what was the need to call on one more challenge?", he says feeling worried thinking what if he loses and she needs to kiss him."I trust you Shane…
