"What's going on between you and Ellie?" Emma asked bluntly. She laid on her side and propped herself up with one arm so she was looking directly at Sean.
"Ellie, huh? You don't beat around the bush at all do ya?" Sean asked. He sighed recalling the conversation he and Ellie had the day before. He knew in his heart it was over. It was over the moment the gun had gone off.
Emma stared at him intently waiting for his answer. "Ellie and I are over." he finally answered.
"Over? But why?"
"I'm not going back to Toronto Emma. Not for a long time anyway. It's not fair for her to have to wait for me." Sean replied. "Besides since I've been here in Wasaga, feelings that I used to have for someone else have resurfaced."
Emma's heart fluttered and she got butterflies in her stomach. Had Sean just admitted that he still liked her? It sounded like it to her. Truth be told spending the last 24 hours with Sean had felt good. Being away from everything and everyone had let her temporarily forget about the shooting. Maybe that's what gave her the confidence to do what she had decided to do next.
She stared at Sean until his eyes met her gaze. Without saying a word she leaned over and softly kissed him on the lips. She deepened the kiss and guided him down so his head was laying down on the pillow and she was over top of him. She let her tongue explore every millimetre of his mouth.
Sean moaned aloud. Hearing him moan satisfied her and she pulled away.
"Wow Em! Not that I'm complaining or anything but what was that for?" Sean asked. His lips still tingled from the sensation of her kissing him.
"Just thought I'd finish what you started last year back in the ravine." Emma smirked.
"Kids! Time to get something to eat." they heard Sean's mom yell from the other side of the trailer.
"We'll talk about this more later." Sean said as he jumped out of bed. He threw on a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt while Emma pulled on her jeans from the day before.
They headed down the hallway of the trailer to the kitchen where they were met by Sean's parents. Sean's mom had made them some lunch. They were both pretty hungry and scarfed down the food. After making small talk with Sean's parents they headed back down to the other end of the trailer to get ready for Jamie's birthday party.
Emma looked at the outfits that Jamie had brought over for her. Emma was a conservative dresser and some of the outfits were way too out there for her. She settled on a sleeveless red dress It was a little tighter than she was used to wearing but she didn't mind as she wanted to look nice for Sean.
She finished her hair and walked out to the living room where Sean was watching television.
"I'm ready." she announced.
He turned his head from the television to look at her. "Wow. You look amazing." he said.
"Thanks."
They got their shoes on and headed down the road to the beach to the party.
They arrived at the party which was definitely underway. There was a D.J. set up playing music. There were a few tables with food and drinks and a fire going a little further down the beach.
"Wow. Jamie went all out." Emma said noticing the amount of planning that had went behind the party. She had figured there would be just a few kids and a campfire. She didn't expect all of this.
"Jamie's been looking forward to her sixteenth birthday for forever." Sean explained. "Speak of the devil…."
Jamie walked quickly towards the pair. "Hi guys! I'm so happy you could make it! And Emma….you look great in that dress! Doesn't she look great Sean?"
"Yeah she does." Sean stated as he eyed her from top to bottom. Emma really did look hot in that dress. He couldn't wait for the D.J. to play a slow song just so he could wrap his arms around her and hold her close in his arms.
"Well I'll catch up with you two later. I've got other people to see." Jamie took off to greet other people who were just arriving at her party.
The music changed from an upbeat song to a slow one. Emma couldn't believe her ears when she heard the lyrics to the song begin to play.
"It was an average day, dull in every way
Until, until the sun broke through.
It wasn't in the sky, no
The light came from her eyes
She turned, turned the grey sky blue."
The song that they were listening to was the song that had played at her mom's wedding when they had shared their first kiss. Emma was lost in thought remembering that day.
"Can I have this dance?" Sean asked interrupting her thoughts. She nodded giving him permission to step closer. He slowly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close so that her head was resting on his shoulder. He held her and they slowly swayed back and forth to the music shutting out the rest of the world.
As the song ended Sean brought his lips to her ears and whispered. "Emma…..I think I'm falling…."
"My turn!" Jamie announced as she separated the two. "You don't mind if I steal Sean for one dance do you Emma?"
Emma looked at Sean trying to figure out what he had been trying to tell her. "It's okay. You're the birthday girl. I'll go get us some drinks Sean."
