The Meaning Of Love 59
ONE YEAR LATER Emma adjusted the black gown she was wearing, putting her hair up in a bun. She moved closer to the mirror, applying a lipstick and a bit of foundation. She was never the type of girl who knew how to do a make-up so she did the little that she could, once every now and then. She put on her black heels, picked up her red purse to brighten the outfit. She walked out into the living room where her mum and sister were at."You look so beautiful darling," her mum said. "You really do," Helen added.Emma sat next to Helen on the dinning area. She had moved back home after the book reveal with her mum and Helen.They had moved away from their former apartment into a much nicer one. With the money Helen had gotten from the lawsuit and the fact that they had promoted her mum at work, they had more than enough.Although, most of the money Helen had gotten had gone into charity because she believed that was the best thing to do with the money, they still had some left."I

"Who is that in table 5?" Emma asked, focusing her gaze on the guy She had just spoken to."I don't know, this is the first time I am seeing him here.""Here."Mark passed Emma the coffee he had ordered for."Does someone have a crush?" Mark said teasingly.Emma smiled, picking up the order. "I haven't even known him for an hour.""Love works in mysterious ways, my dear," he said and Emma chuckled.As Emma moved over to table 5, She caught sight of the smile that welcomed me. "Thank you.""You're welcome," Emma was ready to leave when he handed me the pay. "Here."She checked in it and he had left a 100-dollar tip. No one leaves that much tip. "Thank you."She walked back to the counter after she had resisted staring into his eyes again and behaving like some freak. He was fine actually, She wouldn't deny that."He gave a 100dollar tip.""Wow, he probably likes you too.""Mark," Emma said, raising my eyebrows at him."But he seems old.""Why would you say that? He is so fine, prob

"I want us to talk about you," Helen smiled."My life is boring, yours is more interesting," Helen said. She wanted them to stop talking about her life because it made her understand the reality of all of it more, which she is afraid to face.Helen pulled Emma towards her, making her rest her head on her shoulder."What happened this time?"Helen hesitated for a bit, as memories of the night came flashing back in her head."He found out about my contraceptive pills, he was enraged, threw everything out, hit me till I fell on the floor crying."A tear slipped down Helen's cheeks, as she narrated what had happened.Emma raised her head looking at her sister's face lingering with sadness and fear. Emma's heart aches for her."I don't want to have a baby with him, I don't!!" Helen sobbed and Emma pulled her into a tight hug.Emma knew that all that Helen said about it being hard to leave was true. Their mum was already too exhausted from taking care of her alone and if Helen were to ret

"Are you journaling?" He asked, looking down at the book on Emma's legs."I am writing," She said and could see how confused Eric looked, so she added. "I am a writer.""Like Shakespeare?" He asked, raising his brows.Emma chuckled. He was like every other typical person, who saw writing as probably something mundane."Yes, like Shakespeare but I haven't quite gotten to Shakespeare's level yet though.""So, is this like a hobby or something?""I want it to be more than that. I want to make a living out of it one day. Sell thousands of copies of my books, be the best-selling author someday," Emma explained with so much excitement.Eric noticed how her eyes shone, as she spoke about it but then the glow was drained out in a few seconds as her face fell and she looked down at her book."What's wrong? You seem both excited and sad about it.""Because I have to write a book to be an author and I can't seem to even get past the first chapter.""It's going to get better," Eric said, unsure.
The Meaning Of Love Chapter 5
Eric stared at the notepad, on his bed as he scrolled through his phone. He was trying his best not to open it because he didn't know what might be in it.He picked it up from where he had kept it, staring at the cover. He eventually opened it without thinking, he was bored and exhausted from all that had happened in the day and just really needed to do something different. He turned the first page and even after the bold warning of "do not open" was written on it, he still went ahead to open it.He saw her first poem written on the second page and read it slowly, it was nice and he loved it. He sat up straight on his bed, turning the pages one after the other and reading them. He had completely forgotten about the warning at the beginning and how she would feel about it if she found out.He wanted to know all there was to know about Emma and the book with him was one way he knew he could.Emma hurried to the park once it was time for her break, she was hoping to find her notepad th

Emma sat on her bed with her notepad in front of her. Staring at the only thing written on the first page which was "chapter One".She picked up her pen and then began "she knew him even before she met him. Everything about him was familiar, his touch, love, speech. Everything."Emma continued for about 2 hours later. She smiled as she dropped her pen, scanning through the two pages she had just written.Her writer's block was finally over and she couldn't be more excited."He has been sitting there for close to an hour, are you going to talk to him?" Mark asked as they both looked in the direction of Eric.He had been sitting at the restaurant and had requested to speak to Emma but she wasn't bulging."I don't want to," Emma said, picking up an order."He doesn't look like he will leave there.""Then he will have to remain there forever because I am not speaking to him.""I am lost about something. Catch me up real quick," Mark said, "you were going on and on about this guy some week
The Meaning Of Love 7
Emma looked forward to going to the park on most days. It was becoming a routine and a part of her life.She went there for her breaks and to brainstorm on ideas for her books while Eric found it so relaxing being with her."Why do you write romance genres?" Eric asked.They were both sitting on their usual bench at the park. It was a sunny afternoon and not so quiet one at the park like on most weekdays. Kids were playing on the swings while parents sat around, making sure their kids were within sight.Emma figured it was summer break and everyone had their kids at home and that was why the park was so filled. Emma dropped the pen she was using on her notepad then turned to face Eric."Because I love love," she said and Eric smiled"what does that even mean.""I feel love is the best emotion ever and it wouldn't be a life well lived if one didn't get to experience it.""It's just an emotion, nothing serious.""Don't talk about love that way, it's more than that. Love is beautiful, a
