-1Back at Emma's House:

Emma walks in the door and calls out "Mo-om! I'm ho-ome!"

Emma looks around after she drops her backpack by the front door

"Mom?" she repeats nervously.

She walks into the kitchen and finds a note on the fridge.

Emma,

Went to the salon, there was a major beauty product spill,

& I have my shift at 7 anyways so I won't be home 'til late.

Don't forget you have to baby-sit jack tonight I dropped him off to be with Snake then Snake is going to bring him over before he goes for treatment at 4.

Love,

Mom

She mutters, "Great….great."

She picked up the phone to call her mom and just as she started dialing the phone rang in her hands. She jumped as it fell from her hands and hit the ground. She felt embarrassed as she picked the phone up off the floor and hit the talk button. She answered very timidly.

(phone conversation)

"H-Hello?"

"Um.. Hi is Emma home?" the voice sounded only a tad nervous.

She sighed in relief, "Oh hey Sean! Scare the crap outta me why don't you?"

"Huh?" he sounded confused

"Oh nothing…." she said, dismissing the subject.

"Okay…." he dragged out the word, still confused.

"So…you called-" she starts but Sean cuts her off to be funny

"Well obviously Em! That's why were on the phone!" he laughs.

"Ha ha Sean you are SOOOO funny!" she retorts sarcastically.

"I AM hilarious aren't I?" he says in a slightly vain tone.

Emma just laughs.

"Anyways… what I was trying to say was: you called because…." She left the sentence open-ended.

"Oh great so now a guy can't try to make his girlfriend laugh OR call her. I see how it is…." he says with his smart-ass tone.

"No Sean, you know I didn't mean it like that!" Emma sounded

Sean laughed at her in response. "I know, I'm just messin with you babe!"

"Ha ha you are such a comedian Sean!"

"Why thank you Emma." Sean feigns a formal tone. "Anyways did you talk to your mom?"

"I was just about to when you called."

"Oh sorry. I'll let you get back to that." he said apologetically.

"Thanks." she smiled hearing his politeness.

"I love you." he spoke softly.

"I love you too Sean. I'll call you back in 10 ok?"

"Sure. Bye."

"Bye." she said before hanging up the phone.
