“Emily,” said her secetary. “Yes?” “It’s about nine o’clock in the evening. I think you should go ahead and go home to rest.” “Wow, is it that late already?” “Yes.” “Alright,” said Emily. She got up and got her purse out of the drawer. She turned off the lights and walked out of her office. When she got down the elevator and was about to exit the main building’s entrance she noticed Joshua. Joshua was waiting for her at the front entrance. He seemed to be pacing around the reception’s desk. Emily frowned as to why he was still there. As she got closer she noticed that he was looking rather anxious. This is the first time she have ever seeen him so nervous. Knowing Joshua before, he was not the patient man to wait upon her. He is more of the man who would blew up the moment he have to wait any longer. That’s why if she was to take too long on getting ready he would just leave her. At least that’s what he did in the past. Emily didn’t think that he waited this long for her. Tha
When Joshua came home, he sat back down on Emily’s bed. He laid himself back down on the bed. He turned to his side and pretended that she was sleeping next to him. He said, “Emily, I really missed you. How I took you for granted.” He closed his eyes and another memories flashed through his mind.The next following morning he took the basket of flowers and went outside to the garden. He then put the flowers he plucked for her and dug holes and replanted them back into the ground.“What are you doing, young master MacClare?” asked Butler Shawn.“Planting,” replied Joshua.“Planting?”“Yes.”“What?”“These flowers.”“Huh?” asked Butler Shawn, leaning over Joshua’s shoulder.Joshua was digging holes with his hands and putting the flowers into the hole and burying the tip of it.Butler Shawn frowned as that is not a way to plant flowes and there is no way those flowers would survive being planted in like that without any roots.Joshua made space and planted every flowers from his basket.
“Come on, it’s getting late, grandfather must be worry sick about us.” “Alright,” nodded Emily. Joshua was leading them the path back to the cabin. “Oh, looks like your family is here to pick you up,” said Joshua. Emily saw a car and became sad. She didn’t want to leave yet. She’s been here with Joshua and his grandfather for a day now and she liked it. She liked the peace and quiet. They were both kind and sweet to her. She was happy. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua. Emily didn’t know how to tell him that being here with him have made her happy. She was stressfree. His warmth, gentlness, and kind words have made her feel at home. She was aching for more. She didn’t want to leave him yet. Joshua stepped in front of her and said, “What’s wrong little one?” Emily didn’t know what to say and said nothing. “Do you not want to go home?” “I do.” “Then why aren’t you excited about meeting your family again?” asked Joshua, leaning into her. Emily gasped at his closeness. She looked i
“Ouch,” cried Emily. She was rubbing her hands. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua, he ran back to her. “I fell and scrapped my hands.” Joshua lifted her sleeves up and saw that she was indeed bleeding. Her skin was scrap and some of her skins were peeled back. He blew on her elbows to try to help ease her pain. “Ouch,” said Emily. “Stop moving,” said Joshua. “But it hurts.” “I know, that’s why I’m blowing on it.” Joshua leaned into her and blow on her hands again. Emily looked at him and was admiring his handsome face. How close he was to her. She smiled and the pain in her hands was suddenly gone. “Come on, let’s go. There’s a first aid kit in the cabin.” Emily nodded. Joshua stood up and helped her get up on her feet. “Ow,” groaned Emily. “What’s wrong?” asked Joshua. Emily bent back down. Her knees were also scrapped and she was bleeding. Joshua gasped. “Oh, your bleeding.” Emily nodded. “Come here.” Emily walked to him. Joshua in one swoop lifted her into his arms. “
“Joshua? Joshua,” whisper Emily’s voice. “Emily?” groaned Joshua. “Wake up. You’re going to be late for work.” “What?” “You’re going to be late, so get up and take a shower. I got your breakfast ready.” “Emily?” asked Joshua, shaking his head. “What is it?” “Emily… You’re-You’re still here.” “Yes. Did you need something?” Joshua’s breathing quickened and he grabbed her tiny waist and pulled her to him. He held her against his body and kissed her. “Mmmph, Joshua,” groaned Emily. “Emily, how I miss you.” “Oh, I miss you too,” said Emily. Joshua eagerly kissed her lips. Beep. Beep. Beep. Joshua’s alarm clock went off. Joshua jerk himself awake. He woke up all sweaty. He lifted the bedsheet and found himself hard. “Crap,” he groaned. Beep. Beep. Beep. His alarm clock still going off. Joshua leaned over and turned off the alarm. He groaned as he woke up from his dreams. Sighing he got up and went to take a shower. As he was showering he chuckled as he was going insane. D
FLASHBACK JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL (Third year of high school) “Joshua, did you hear that we got a new student?” asked Victor. Victor is Joshua’s best friend. “Oh, do we?” questioned Joshua. “Yes, I heard that she’s pretty smart, so she’s in a few class with us.” “Oh. That’s cool.” “I heard she’s cute too.” “Hmm.” “What? As handsome as you are, shouldn’t you be surrounding yourself with girls.” “Pfft.” “What? You don’t seem to be interested in any girl at all. Why is that?” “I know,” said Dan. Dan was Joshua’s second best friend. “Who?” asked Victor. Joshua stared at Dan. “He’s not into girls, but guys,” laughed Dan. Joshua said in a nonchantantly voice, “No. I’m into girls.” “Then who?” asked Victor. “Not saying, Not telling. Not caring.” “Oh, then maybe you’re interested in girls from other school?” “Maybe?” “Who?” Joshua stared at Victor and didn’t say anything. “Fine,” pouted Victor. “But what about our school?” asked Dan. “What about our school?” asked
JOSHUA’S POV When they were in high school, Emily and him would often get seated together. For that Joshua didn’t mind. He like being close to her. Whenever she dropped her pens or pencils he would lean over and pick it up to her. Every time he hand it to her he would get to glance at her. Even if she just softly smile at him, he was happy. For she at least noticed him. Everytime he mustered up the courage to talk to her, she was busy talking to other people. She was always accompanied by other boys or always other girls. Joshua couldn’t talk to her even if he wanted to. When there are times when Emily is alone, he couldn’t talk to her as he was always dragged by his friends to go somewhere or do something. As time went on he noticed that Emily didn’t have a lot of friends. Wanting to keep her company, he would stay close to her. When he turns around Emily would be following him. He would smile that she follows him around. “It’s good that I got her tame well enough that she stays
Knock. Knock. “Who is it?” asked Joshua. “It’s me, Butler Shawn,” answered Shawn. “Come in,” said Joshua, picking off the glasses on their wedding picture frame. “Young master MacClare,” said Butler Shawn. “What is it?” asked Joshua. “I found out some details about your ex-wife, Emily.” “What did you find?” “I found out that Emily have indeed been working the entire time she’s been married to you.” “How?” asked Joshua, looking at Butler Shawn. He thought it was odd as Emily have always been home and stayed home. She never gone anywhere but staying home most of the time. Besides those times when she leaves to take money or spending times with those other men. “Your ex-wife, umm…” “What is it?” Joshua was fearing what butler shawn was going to say. “Please, say that she is anything else but a leecher,” he thought. “She’s a professional trader.” “What?” “She’s a day trader.” “I know what day trader is.” “Oh. Well, Emily trader nearly everyday when she’s not busy with the
