After Jake came and cause discomfort, Emma was surprised Ryan didn't ask about it because she remembered he had once asked her if she had a boyfriend and she said no.
But wait..,I don't have to explain to him .. He's just my boss,Emma told herself and very soon the office phone rang.
She immediately went to Ryan's office after hesitating for a few seconds.
She opened the door and saw him standing still staring outside as rain drizzled,He wasn't wearing his coat only the white shirt inside and he looked really good.
He turned backwards and stared at Emma as she stopped day dreaming and dropped a new file on his table,He had not proceeded to take it he just stood there looking at her with his lazy eye.
Umm..If that's all I'll leave now,Emma said and turned to leave when he finally spoke up.
You said he wasn't your boyfriend,Ryan said and Emma's tired to look at him.
She wanted to say something but stopped"It's complicated".
So is he your boyfriend or not, Ryan walked closer to you as he said this making you uncomfortable and unconsciously move.
I noticed how you retracted when he kissed you..,Is he really your boyfriend.
Yes..yes he is,Emma said rushed as Jake had told her if any body found out she wasn't interested in dating him and he forced her..,He would definitely visit her mother so Ryan could NOT find out.
Like I thought..A player..,He murmured but you heard him.
I thought your mother is in the hospital but here you are pursuing a man,Ryan said and you looked at him hurt before leaving.
Emma was walking back that day drenched..why would he say something like that.., He has no idea but he talks like he knows it all..huh,As expected of someone whom everything was handed to him,Emma mumbled to herself as she went back to drink.
Emma had drank a lot and felt really light headed,she walked back to Jake's house.
What's wrong with you?,Why are you late?,Jake stopped you.
That's none of your business, I'm leaving you,Emma said and pusjed her way into the house going to the room she stayed in and took her bag away.
Where the heck do you think you're going?
Far away from you..Monster,Stay away from me and my family.
You won't dare, you're really daring me Emma.
Yes I am..And??, Jake I once was in love with you..you were the only person i trusted in the whole world,Emma said still tipsy with a small laugh.
I had already planned out future together..,And on the day we graduate you betray me Jake..I..
Because of you I got disrespected at work today..,I was called names because of you..
Look you can't do anything to me, I've called the police,they must be here noe so you can't try anything again and I'll protect my mom,Emma said and walked out of the house.
F*ck,Jake hissed with anger and punched the door behind him.
Emma went to Ana's cafe as luckily she was still there.
Seeing her friend..Emma lost control and began to cry..as Ana came and hugged her.
I hate myself so much..I am so weak and it's frustrating..,I can't even do anything myself Ana.
That's why you have me..,When you can't handle anything come to me..
Am so stupid..Ana I could've done that but I didn't,I tried to handle it alone but I failed.
Come inside,let's talk about it okay.., I'll make your favourite espresso,Ana said with a smile and Emma smiled back as she walked inside the cafe.
Emma ended up telling Ana everything and what Jake had said if she dared to disobey him.
Wow..you really went through that alone..
I didn't think he would be so despicable..
He is so lucky you kept it a secret from me if not his two front teeth would have been missing by now.., Emma laughed hearing this.
I'm happy I have you Ana..
I'm glad too.
They two friends went back home and Emma decided to contact Sam.
Hey..,She said.
I thought you wouldn't call..
How did you know it was me? Emma questioned.
You have a voice I don't think I'll forget,He said and Emma was quiet for a while.
Are you there?He finally asked after a few seconds of silence.
Can I ask you a favor?She replied with a question.
Sure..
Emma breathed a sigh of relief and told him everything.
So I don't know if someone can watch over my mom till I'm available...I beg of you.
Sorry you had to go through all that..,And of course we're friends so I'll help you but on one condition.
Have dinner with me Saturday night..
Um..I really don't know..
It's just a dinner as friend, nothing more I promise,He persuaded and Emma finally agreed before ending the call and laying on the bed.

Ryan had just entered the bar spotting his friends,he took a seat with them looking cold.
And what's got you bothered?,Sam asked as David stared at him waiting for the gist.
No one, He replied and gulped a whole shot.
Okay now it's definitely someone..,You have a woman or something?David asked.
I got a complaint from one of my umm..friends who was pissed off that the girl he liked was dating someone and lied to him,so he called her a player.
Dudes that's cold why would you do that..,Sam said.
It wasn't me but a friend umm.Kyran.
Hmm, Sam and David hummed in unison.
Any advice for my friend Kyran..
Well first off does this girl know that Kyran likes her?David asked.
Umm no..,I don't think so.
So if Kyran can't man up to tell s woman how he feels what make him think it's okay to lash at her for having a boyfriend.
Na dude you..or Kyran messed up for real,Sam said and patted his shoulder before his phone rang as it was Emma calling so he went out to answer it while Ryan sat thinking about what his fonky friends said to him.
He messed up...big time..
