Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

"Take...."Miles said handing Sarah a plate of ice cream. Sarah blushed collecting it, Miles sighed tucking his hands into his sweater pockets. The weather at the beach was always chilly, "it's nice to have you out with us"Brenda said smiling and glancing over at Miles, He starred at the rest of the girls searching for their approval, they all smiled showing their approval. He had come out for one reason, lately Emma had been having night calls with someone, it was surely not Ryan but she was not willing to tell who it was to him, so she had told him that if he followed them to the beach she would let him know who it was she had been talking, who he supposed was her new catch. So it was his curiosity that landed him here and now Sarah, he was obviously stuck with her. Miles was complicated, he wasn't sure if he liked her to the extent of being in a relationship with her. He glanced over at her,"I'll take a walk, I'd be back...." He said searching for her approval she nodded but turning to Emma she got a weird look signaling that she should have offered to walk with him, "I'll walk with you...." Sarah said hurriedly before he had gone too far. Grace eyed them both and glanced back at Emma, Emma smiled, Grace was not the kind of lady she wanted for her brother, not like Grace wasn't nice but that she kind of didn't know what she wanted in life, most of the things she was doing currently was on the basis of other people's choices. She never stood her ground to do something on her own. Emma set her scattered hair in place as she stroke it gently and suggested, "let's run girls," Miles turned around on hearing that, Grace starred back at them, Sarah's hand firmly fixed in his, "Emma you know you have a problem with dust, so you had better not run too close to the coast or else you want to learn to live in the coast" he said smiling, Sarah chuckled as they turned to go on. "It's not like I'm a kid either" she shouted after him, shrugging her shoulders she said to the other girls ," c'mon let's take off", they all stood up,"common!"Rose screamed with pure excitement but none was as half excited as her, and in a moment they started off.

Soon the sun went in and they as well thought they should get going since the sun was already retiring for the day, Emma sat on the mat taking water as she took a glance through her phone and with some kind of pleasure she shouted out to the girls, "our Visa is out girls!", They looked at her smiling, "to?" Roseline asked drying her hair with a towel, she loved to swim and had been swimming since. Grace laughed disbelievingly at her, "so you mean all these while you hadn't had a clue of where we were planning to spend summer?"she asked ridiculously, "well is it her fault?" Brenda asked Grace rudely, she continued to laugh, "to Australia", Roseline let out a side smile turning to Emma, "well I think we're all going to see Emma's boyfriend!"she shouted, "the cool guy" Grace blurted out, Emma just let them go on, even though she didn't like what they were saying but because Roseline was really enjoying herself with all of these. They soon started packing to go, flung water bottles kept carelessly were picked up when suddenly Grace remembered Miles and Sarah, they must have had such a nice time today she thought, "what about Miles and Sarah?" she said looking as though she didn't care they had been together the whole time, Emma looked up as she stopped packing, looking around, "they're surely not still at the beach" she said and continued packing. They were soon done and departed walking rather sluggishly they had had so much fun for the day.

Emma walked into the dining room, sitting down with Dad as Miles served dinner, she looked at him pleased, he eyed her, she was so pleased whenever him and dad made dinner not like dad helped him but dad would just keep talking while he did everything. He gave her a hand towel "thank you...."she said smiling, he almost threw her another towel except for dad's hard stare, he sighed and she laughed. "Where were you through out today" dad asked he's eyes fixed on his phone, "nothing much was just out with the girls", he nodded and smiled. "And you Miles?" Miles dished in some food on both their plates, Emma narrowed her eyes," uhm no where really....." Emma coughed and Miles eyed her, "well dad, sort of a date...."Emma said, "how was that supposed to be a date?" Miles asked ruefully, "obviously because you didn't tell us where you two disappeared to..." Emma was saying, "well dad I was at the beach too but with someone else" he sighed looking at Emma. "which girl's that?" Dad asked glancing at Miles, "well uhm Sarah" dad smiled at the thought of Sarah, not bad for a daughter in-law,he thought. Both men soon started discussing business, Emma yawned showing she was bored, They were soon done with dinner. "I didn't mean to leave you girls" Miles said slipping into her room, "but you still left us ...." Emma said, "Sarah wasn't feeling too well so I took her home...." He said, " hope it's nothing serious?"Emma asked, "well I guess it's water sickness..."Miles said, Emma looked at him with a side smile, "or was it a kiss that made her sick?" Miles laughed disbelievingly, "hey you, how do you think I could just kiss her like that?"He hit her, Emma rolled her eyes, "you know I'll be happy if you two mingle.....I wouldn't mind" She said, "well young lady I don't need your permission or approval to mingle with anyone" he said and she gave him a funny look, "Well likewise I don't need your approval of Ryan". She said sighing. Suddenly remembering something, he sat up," now tell me who it was you've been with all these while, the late night calls...", Emma gave him a mischievous smile, "well you didn't really come to the beach," she said, "what ?" he gave her an awful look. "If you really want to know you have to follow us again to the beach" she laid down on the bed meaning to sleep, "not fair..." Miles said smiling.
