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…
Next day, Emma was wearing track pants of black colour with a turtleneck full sleeve crop top and a sling back on her matching her white sneakers and three chained necklace, a few rings in hand and her favourite bracelet went to Shane's house. Her friends' whole gang joined up there as well while Skylar was as usual busy in his studio and his mom was out for a charity event. The gang was relieved to know that or else they were surely going to have a lecture again.They all got settled in the theatre room Shane's mansion has and asked the caretakers to bring as much as junk foods they can load them with. Coke and Sprite were already there and they started watching "Jawan" , an Indian Bollywood superstar's new blockbuster movie. The film held them intrigued and captivated as it started and when 3 hours were gone they didn't realise. At the end, they were fluttering and content to see that movie. After that they walked back to Shane's basement whose half area was an indoor game area. Th
