Emma furrowed her brow in wonder ...pull off ? Pull off what ? .
Quietly she moved closer to the kitchen.
"Kendra I'll call you back" she heard Terry whisper
" ..Hello? "
Emma walked sheepishly into the kitchen
" sorry , the door was open . I didn't think anyone was home. "
"oh " Terry responded obviously flustered " did you hear what I was just saying ? " she continued gesturing to the phone in her hand .
Just as Emma opened her mouth to speak she was cut off.
" because I'm organising a surprise party for Will " she explained quickly " it's his birthday next month "
Of course .
" but you would already know that " Terry said placing the phone down " what with you being his best friend "
Emma couldn't help but notice the bitterness in her voice as the blonde smiled at her .
Feeling the air growing more awkward with each passing second Emma quickly spoke.
"Good idea " she complimented giving her a small smile " If .. .if you need any help with anything you know where I am "
" well I course I do " Terry tutted placing a hand on Emma's arm " sweetie I live with you "
"Yeah "Emma exclaimed quietly looking down at the manicured fingers spread across her sleeve .
"Excuse me "she continued turning and walking promptly back into the hallway.
When she was sure Emma was out of ear shot Terry grabbed the phone from its place on the counter and began forcefully pressing in the digits to her sister's number.
"Kendra we need to organise a party for Will "
Once she had reached the craft room Emma stepped inside and began to carefully unbutton her coat and lay it neatly on the "bed ".
Emptying out her bag she carried it across the hall, shutting the bathroom door behind her.
"Of course she was planning a party for Will "she thought to herself turning the faucet and filling the sink with water.
She was right it was Will's birthday next month.
Looking in the cabinet Emma soon found some cleaning solution she thought suitable and a clean cloth.
Rolling up the sleeves of her cardigan she began to scrub the bottom, sides and interior of her bag.
Hand washing was definitely the best option she thought running the cloth along the zip.
Emma didn't particularly trust washing machines for things like this. Why would she when hand cleaning was so much more precise?
Ensuring she had killed the smallest of germs she began to contemplate a present for Will .
She wanted something special he was her best friends after all (not to mention the fact she was head over heels in love with him ...but she wasn't going to think about that) plus he had been so kind as to let her stay even if Terry hadn't been so accommodating.
When she was convinced it was clean enough Emma opened the door to the airing cupboard in search for a clean towel , pulling out one made of soft white cotton and started to dry her bag off dabbing gently at the small puddles that had formed ... Good job she didn't buy designer.
Finally satisfied with the cleanliness of her bag Emma walked back into the hallway and into the craft room hanging her bag over the small radiator under the window sill.
She could see why Terry liked the room so much the view was lovely.
The small park across the street was full of laughing children chasing each other around and having the time of their lives.
Emma wondered whether Will's child would play on that park one day..She presumed so it would . The park was right across the street but wouldn't they get a bigger house? .
Glancing away from the park Emma's eyes moved down the street a row of houses identical to one another. All with the same paved drive way as Will's the same small lawn leading from the side walk and the same white mail box at the end of it.
She didn't know how long she had been stood there but before she knew it the clear blue sky had turned dark and the noisy park silent. Deciding she really should get some work done Emma moved back to the bed to retrieve the folder of paper work .
Skimming her eyes over the patterned sheets she realised it was missing; she must have left it in the car.
With a sigh Emma picked up her coat and slipped it on.
"Problem Ella? " She heard Terry call as she made her way past the living room ,
"No Terry its fine, I just left something in the car " ...And my name is Emma
The cold air hit her instantly causing Emma to shiver.
Trotting to her car she unlocked the door and reached inside for the polka dot folder on the back seat.
"Hi "
Startled Emma Jumped with a shriek banging her head hard against the ceiling "ouch! "
"Oh my gosh , Emma I'm so sorry are you ok ? "
It was Will .
Picking up her folder Emma ducked back out and looked up at him.
"I'm fine "She giggled nervously rubbing her head with a wince.
Will frowned " here let me see " .
"No Will its ok "
" Emma let me see "
" Will its .."
" Emma "
Sighing Emma gave in tilting her head slightly letting him take a closer look .
" ooo " Will grimaced touching her head gingerly " I'm so sorry Em "
" Will its fine really , I'm ok "
" hmm well I'm getting you a cold compress , come on "
Taking the keys from her hand Will locked her car . taking her arm in his as they both walked up the drive to the house .
" did you only just get home ?" he asked curiously .
" actually ive been back a couple of hours I left my folder in my car ."
Noticing the folder in her arm He nodded " Ah " .
Once they got inside Will headed straight for the kitchen instructing Emma to go into the living room.
"I'm going to get you an ice pack ...go sit down Em , you shouldn't be stood up too long when you've had a bump to the head . "
" Will I .."
" Sit "
Going into the living room Emma was greeted by Terry who was sat on the sofa reading the latest issue of the craft cassette.
" Was that Will I heard "
" uh huh " she answered sitting herself down in the large leather armchair .
Emma watched as Terry stood up and made her way to the door bumping into Will as entered to room.
" hey Baby " she welcomed reaching up to kiss him missing his lips however when he walked straight towards Emma .
" Hey Terry " he said over his shoulder .
" here you go Em put that on your head ."
Handing Emma the ice pack he smiled down at her.
Emma couldn't Help but smile back it was her instant reaction, whenever Will would smile she would melt. Despite this however it was hard to avoid the look of detest she was receiving from his wife..Oh boy
"Thank you will " .." I'll leave you to too it " she said standing up quickly.. a little too quickly as she soon felt herself become dizz .
Fortunately this was noticed by Will who held his hand out to steady her .
"Emma You're not going anywhere until I'm sure you ok , sit back down " he said , softly pushing her back into the chair . " Its movie night , join us relax "
" that's alright isn't Terry ?" he asked
" of course " she replied sweetly although it was obvious to Emma she wasnt at all happy about the idea .
"Great " Will smiled sitting down on the sofa Terry on his lap within seconds .
Great Emma thought holding the ice pack to her head.
