I woke up the next morning and went to the bathroom. I was looking like a zombie. My hair was all tangled and everywhere. My eyes red and puffy and my lips were pale. I took a shower and powdered my face to hide the evidence that showed I was crying because I seriously didn't want Scott to ask questions. I took Beth to school and told her she must have her inhaler pack at all times and she nodded. I left to the company and as I entered inside, I was met with a grinning Scott and beautiful daises.
"Hey girlfriend" he said which a smile which made me smile but on the inside, I was crying.
"Hey boyfriend" I replied. He smiled again and gave me the flowers. I smelt them and boy, they smelt nice. "They smell really nice Scott. Thank you" I appreciated.
"Your welcome baby" he said and kisses my forehead. I looked behind him and saw almost everyone staring at us with their mouth agape and then I hugged Scott unexpectedly. He was startled at first, but hugged me back. He wanted to pull away but I hugged him more.
"They're watching us and I seriously hate attention" I explained and hid my face in his chest continuing inhaling his scent.
"Its okay baby, you can look now. They're no more here" he said with a laugh. I hit him playfully on his chest.
"It not funny" I told him which made him laugh more then I turned my back on him and started walking away but he drew me back to his chest.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry." He apologized and I nodded my head to show him he was forgiven.
"Thank you" he said and turned me to face him. I looked into his eyes and I couldn't find that spark that was always there when he was with me-Emilia. I saw him leaning down and then he kissed me and I also responded.
"Go get a room bro. Seriously, this is a company." A voice said and I turned to look at the person and saw it was Blake. He also looked at me and gasped then he scowled at me.
"What the fuck is she doing here Scott?" He said, venom dripping out from every word which made me a little bit scared.
"Who are you talking about?" He asked him.
"Her of course! Her! Emilia! Who else would I be talking about. What the fuck is she doing here Scott. Huh?!!!!" He yelled making me flinch. I didn't know he hated me this much. Taylor came to calm him down by holding his shoulder and stroking his hair.
"Bro chill. Why are you so upset. its not Emilia. This is Emily. She just looks like Emilia in a way." He explained making Blake frown in confusion.
"Huh?" He said.
"This is not Emilia. This is Emily. she works here. She just looks like Emilia" he told him.
"Oh. Oh. Oh my god. I am so sorry. I'm really sorry miss Emily. Please forgive me. I'm really sorry." He apologized.
"Its okay. I understand" I told him.
"Sorry once again. I thought you were somebody else." He said.
"Its cool. I get it. Its okay" I replied.
"Thanks for forgiving me. I'm Blake by the way" he said and held out his hand for me to shake and I shook it.
"I'm Emily. Well, you already know" I said with a small laugh.
"Yeah" he said.
"So you two, are like dating?" He asked. I saw Scott roll his eyes.
"No, we were just eating each other faces off" he said sarcastically which made me also roll my eyes.
"Sorry. Sorry, it was just a question" Blake said raising his hands. in surrender.
"Hey! Let's have a triple date." Scott said with his face lit up.
"I and Emily, you and Taylor. Eric and Michelle. What do you say?" He said and Blake nodded his head grinning.
"You bet."
"So when's this triple date?" He asked.
"On Friday night." He said.
"I don't think I can make it." I told him. His smile faltered.
"Yeah, I also don't think Eric and Michelle can make it. You know....mike" Taylor said and then his smile faltered I want that smile back on his face.
"Uhm, how about we...." He trailed off.
