He's Back But For How Long
Chapter 3
Emma woke up. She realized that she and Sean had spent the whole night in someone else's room at the pub. She slowly sat up from the bed and started to get dressed, but trying to be quiet so that she doesn't wake up Sean.
"Hey. You're up. What are you doing?" Sean mumbled and sat up a bit and started rubbing his eyes because he wasn't very awake yet.
"Yeah I am. Oh … nothing, just uh … getting dressed. I should uh … I should go."
"Emma wai …"
"No I can't. I have to get to the store, I have dry cleaning to pick up, then I need to …"
"Em, it's okay"
"What? This? How is this okay? We just spent the night in some old people's bed at a pub, this is so not okay."
"Yes it is. It's no big deal."
"How can this not be a big deal? There are people down there, tons. If we go down there, they'll all know what happened."
"Okay. Just wait here a second. Let me go check something."
Sean quietly stepped out the room to see if there was a way out of the pub so that they wouldn't have to go out the front where everyone would see them. He then saw a door in the back that led outside. After he saw it he went back into the room where Emma was and after she finished getting her things he grabbed her hand and they quietly made their way down the hall towards the door. Which seemed like a much longer walk then opposed to the night before. They opened the door and went down the five stairs out the back and started walking along the sidewalk. Just as they got out Sean's cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hi Sean its Jim."
"Oh, hi. What's up?"
"Turns out you have another week off."
"Oh okay thanks."
"Who was that?"
"My ah … my boss. Jim. He said that I have another week off of work."
"Well that's good then. Then I can see you more."
"Yeah that's good." Sean says and smiles.
"So I'll call you later?"
"Yeah. Okay. Sounds good."
Later that night Sean went over to Emma's apartment. Sean parked his car in the front, and then got out and walked up the stairs and knocked on the front door. Emma was just finishing an essay for school once she printed it of she went to answer the door.
"Hey. I'm glad you could make it. How are you?" Emma asked while hugging Sean. "Come on in." Emma said as Sean walked in and shut the door.
"I'm pretty good. So what did you have in mind for dinner?"
"I was just going to order a pizza. How does that sound?"
"Oh that sounds good. I see you're not much of the chef these days?"
"Ha ha. No. Are you kidding? I can barley make eggs without burning them."
"Yeah okay, then I'm glad there's no cooking involved."
"Yeah well good thing I hate doing it too. What kind of pizza do you like? Cause I can order it now if you'd like me to?"
"Anything's fine by me."
"Okay then I'll just get a pizza with everything on it."
Emma called the closest place that pizza could be delivered from, and she ordered the pizza, with mozzarella sticks and soda. The pizza came in about fifteen minutes, once the delivery boy rang the door bell.
"Wow. That was fast." Emma said grabbing the money out of her purse and answering the door.
"Surprisingly this actually tastes really good." Sean said taking a bite of the slice of pizza.
"Yeah I know. It looks incredibly disgusting, but it's actually really good. They have the best pizza in all of Toronto."
"Yeah and the most disgusting looking pizza all in one."
"So how about we watch a movie?"
"Okay. Like what?"
"How about …. The Notebook?"
"Sounds fine by me."
"Okay." Emma searches through her bin full of DVD's and once she finds the box that reads The Notebook she pops it in the DVD player and it starts, and she sits back by Sean. After a long awkward silence between Emma and Sean, Sean finally said something.
"Is it me or is this really awkward?"
"Yeah … umm it is. I mean it has been ever since you know … that night when we … you know …"
"Yeah exactly what I was thinking."
"I'm sorry what happened between us that night. It was my fault … or responsibility. I could have controlled it. Or handled it better. So that we wouldn't be stuck in this mess."
"I'm not blaming you. I'm not mad about what had happened between us. I actually … well I kind of enjoyed it. I mean sure things are weird between us right now. But it was bound to happen sometime right?"
"Yeah I guess so. I mean I was bound to have run into you again. And that's why this had happened between us."
"Yeah I guess you're right. I mean. Us meeting up again. It was bound to happen sometime or another."
Emma said and leaned over and lightly kissed Sean right during the same scene of "The Notebook" where the two main characters had a romantic kiss in the rain.
Authors Note: I know that this is kind of lame but I'm trying to improvise a bit so that I can get to the main point but not too fast. I know that this story is going off kind of slow but trust me in at least the next chapter this story will be much better.
