Chapter 4

Ash and Emma were finishing the decorations. "Hey Emma, are you free after the party?" Ash asked.

"Hmmm. Im gonna have to check my schedule, why?" Emma asked suspiciously. Ash's eyes darted back and forth, and his hands were becoming sweaty.

"Uh,Uh..." Ash tried to say.

Emma looked at him square in his eyes.

"Are you trying to ask me out.? Ash, I'm flattered,"Emma said.

"Well..No, I mean yes, uh..."Ash kept on stuttering.

Emma moved closer to Ash. "You don't have to hide it from me, Ash. Do you really like me?" Emma asked.

"Yes Emma with all heart and-", Ash couldn't finish. Because Emma leaned in and kissed Ash. Their lips were like glue, unbreakable.

2 hours later...

Wilfred walked into the juice net. He was amazed. "Wow. You, and Emma did great with the place. I have to saw you guys are the best workers I have ever known", Wilfred beamed to Ash.

Ash had no words. He was really happy and so as Emma.

A few minutes later...

People started to crowd the juice net. Wilfred nodded to Emma and Ash to take charge at the desk.

It wasn't long until Emma's Best friends came.

"Hey Emma, we have to show you to someone", Bella said.

"Yeah, so come with us", Cleo said with a waving motion.

Rikki just came in with a girl. "Hey Em, over here. I want you to meet my friend", Rikki said with a smile.

Emma was so confused with all the chatter, but she walked over to where Rikki was.

There, she saw a lovely girl with a nice summer dress on.

"Hi Emma. Rikki has told me so much about you", The girl said. "By the way, my name is Mcbeth Annamarie Noelle Anderson. I'm Charlotte's cousin", Mcbeth said with a sly smile.

Emma's eyes went wide. "You're Charlotte's cousin?" Emma asked. She couldn't believe her ears.

"Yep. I'm sorry she has hurt you and caused you drama. She just wanted to fit in. Anyways I will not hurt you. I promise", Mcbeth said.

While the girls were chatting, Emma shivered at the thought of Charlotte.

Emma noticed a dark heart necklace Mcbeth was wearing.

Hmm. Looks mysterious and dangerous, Emma thought, very mysterious.
