Chapter 21
Thanks JennDur for beta'ing for me.
Emmett pulled away after making out for a while, leaving his forehead pressed against mine. "God, I missed that; missed you."
"Me, too. You have no idea how much," I whispered. He sat back, a serious expression forming on his face.
"I do know, Leah. I lived it, too. But I didn't know you still cared, like you did about me. So, I'm thinking I may have had it worse. What, with getting my heart stomped on with no explanation as to why."
I could tell he wasn't angry, just stating facts. "I didn't have a choice, Em. My dad went off the deep end and I had to, I didn't want to. Even if I had said no, and fought him on it, it wouldn't have mattered. He took my computer, my phone and I've been on house arrest. Hell, he even told my mom you dumped me."
"Your dad's a fucking dickhead, babe." His jaw tightened and he exhaled heavily from his nose. "I gotta ask, why are you here? Why'd you let me kiss you if your old man is going to stand in the way of more? I'm not the kind of guy who just fucks around or hooks up. I want it all and I really want it with you."
Didn't get a chance to update yesterday so... At least 2 today, maybe 4.
