Chapter 8 - Emma

"What!!"shrieked Emma after i told her what happened between me and Adam .

" you fucking had sex ....with fucking Adam Hugo" . She shouted , then lowered her voice as her insticts drove her since our topic was more private ,

"Whats with the fucking?". I asked embarassed, then got off bed as i headed to the bathroom to put back my nail polish collection. Emma got up and grab my nail polish basket and placed it on the side table , then pulled me down on bed ,i clusmly avoided smearing my newly done toes.

She took my hands firmly , looked direct into my eyes, with desperation she said " you must tell me everything, every detail" then she grinned at me .

'Oh! No ' i thought to my self not sure of what i was actually going to say since I don't remember it all.

" Emma..."

'Oh god she's giving me that look ,how do i even disappoint her'

I cried to my self i know Emma she can be persistent especially now since she's been trying pretty hard to set me on atleast one blind date,which i strong heartedly rejected all.

" I don't remember " I blurted. I squeezed my eyes shut waiting to take on Emma's attack,

" whhaaaat! " ,

"why ? don't you remember something as crucial as that "

" were you that drunk ?"

Emma shot question not giving me a chance to defend my self,

I wasn't going to tell her that i had an episode , she would surge into Adam's office and demand for a brief explanation about that night and it would only make things more complicated .

" i was drunk ___he left alot of hickeys though, am sure it was a steamy night"

" you should ask him__".

" no!" I shouted at her , before realizing what i did , i blushed.

"Mghh!" She snorted ,

" too bad ... he asked for your number and i gave him"

She smiled at me sheepishly.

"Emma! " I exclaimed in disappointment.

" what? , how could i even guess he was your night stand ... by the way it's not something to be ashamed of".

Emma's phone rang and we both checked it , Kir's name was displayed on caller,

" is this for real?"

" what! " she grabs her phone and jumps off bed ,

" it might be about the painting ". She turned to leave

" has it even been 6hrs?" i asked just to be replied with a door bang as she left the room .

Thats Emma for you I don't know how she does it but , she always gets what she wants . She always has a broken relationship somwhere but still gets her self up , i can't even recall how many times she called me crying about her ex boyfriends, and just after i got back to venetia she dumped a guy and kept on going about how he cared about his looks and kept on going out with other women though they were already in a relationship.

She said this time round it wouldn't be about the looks she's tired of making the same mistake over and over , and yet she's swaying her way to Kir . I don't want to be a bitch or something but like any other friends i just don't want to see my friends get hurt especially Emma she's fragile despite her charisma and enthusiastic behavior , and the fact that she does what ever she wants and says her mind out .

I owe Emma my life if she hadn't found me back two years ago , i would have died right there in the bathroom, and she knew it better than anyone to keep it to her self till I regained consciousness.

Its been really hard for me , for the first six months I couldn't think of anything but replay that tragedy , it broke me , but Emma kept on attaching me she took as many leaves as she could from work flew 2hours just to check if i was doing fine,

And there is nothing in my power i could give her to pay for her kindness than to be there for her whenever she needs me as she was for me .

Emma is an all in person , am always there to keep her in check , despite we all tend to fall easily am good at keeping my emotions in check than her.

Emma came back in the room with a silly grin 'this can't be good' i tell myself , because i already knew this behavior from personal experience .

" well... we have a date" she said happily , and i could tell she was more than just excited, her eyes gave this gleeful sparkle,

" congratulations, " i said smiling at her with relief it wasn't as bad as I expected.

" both of us dummy" ... she chuckled teasingly fully aware of how am taking this knews

"What!" I yelped dump founded... with the side of my mouth twitching in disbelief as i try to keep the smile from earlier.

" well ... he asked if you could also come since we would discuss about the paintings, and I thought it'ld be good if Adam shows and you get to keep shit even and ask what you wanted to ask earlier "

" you ... you thought? " ,

" Saturday, dinner at star crest 7 pm". She spoke as she moved to the other side of the bed for her purse .

" i'll drag you if i have to" she spoke giving me the eye 'am so goddamn serious' , before shutting my bedroom door.

What just happened i was still recovering from the shocking news , the fact of meeting Adam again , while I don't know how to face him really wears me off, "what happened that night What did i do ... " . i mummble grasping my hair

" saturday...that's in two days .." i shouted but she was long gone .

" aarrgg am gonna kill you"

I crashed on to my pillow and writhed angrily dumping my duvet.
