Chapter 7: TOW Worst secret date ever part 2
Previously on Life of teenage Emma Geller
Passionate kiss between me and Dan was interupted by a british accent woman...
"Is this what you call a movie night with couple friends?" Voice asked
I looked up as I thought yes she had clearly aged from the pictures I've seen but still its the same person: Emily. A silent moment that I could have sworn took hours lasted only abaut ten seconds ended with Jack sarcastic comment, god I would've hoped that he would have understood to keep his mouth shut. I understand he is nervous but still...
"Well I think girlfriend still technically counts as a friend" Jack said sarcastically
"Why don't you 4 scoop I have a feeling that you guys may cause more troubles than you may be able to solve?" I asked immedeadly afterwards before Emily could counter
"Are you sure? We can stay if you want... I know you could use back up in case something goes wrong" Alex said
"But you also know that how badly this can go if everything goes heywire, are you sure you want to take the chance? I think you have more to lose here than, I can win " I asked to make sure she knew she knows what she's doing here.
I mean in every other case I would have understood this reaction we are team and we support eachother whenever needed, But now there was so much more on the stake. They didn't want to get exposed anymore than I did, no reason for both of us to take the fall. But before Alex could answer Emily decided to jump in since she was clearly intrested what was going on...
"Hey no reason to be affraid of me. Yes I am Daniel's mother, but still I'm just a human myself. Let's start by introductions your friends can stay if they want to I'm intrested to hear more abaut this story and any friend of Daniels is a friend of mine. But anyways, my name is Emily, Emily Waltham" Emily startted
"Well glad to hear that, well lucky girl here is Emma, those two are Jessica and Alex her two best friends and other two are her cousins Jack and Erica" Daniel took control hoping that his mother wouldn't ask last names, just yet anyways
"Okay so what is this? to be honest I wouldn't call this a date, I mean 4 girls and 2 guys. Without seeing the kiss I probably would have bought the whole "it's just a movienight with friends". So why Emma is so scared of me? is there more to this story than just this?" Emily asked curiously
I checked on Alex she seemed now to understand what I meant earlier when I said that she has pretty much to lose. But she decided to just accept her mistake and nodded me as a sign that I can tell the whole story I still hoped that I didn't have to tell my last name on first date. I was so affraid that it would be the end of all of it.
"Well we aren't exactly the only ones dating tonight Alex and Jack on their first official date too. And we all wanted to keep this as a secret if possible. So I am sorry I judged you so quickly. I'm just so nervous abaut the whole thing that I didn't want everything to fall appart." I said with a scare
"Well I understand that everyone is on their toes when it's their first date, but I still don't understand why did you think I was ultimate evil and I will ruin everything, becouse ever since you calmed down you seem to be the most confident one of this croup. You are not telling me something my question is that what are you really hiding? But I quess I'll let you guys off the hook for now and let you guys enjoy your dates, but I want to catch up with you someday Emma, you can set date and you can tell me where but questions will be from me. Oh and by the way it's just 2 of us okay?" Emily said
"Well fine by me if that's what is gonna get this date to keep going, I'll promise I don't have any that big secrets up my sleeves. Just an ordinary girl." I said with mysterious voice
"I'll look forward to it, and to rest off you: enjoy your date and sorry for interupting. First dates are allways special remember that" Emily said
It took me a while to catch my breath. I was so much in disbilief that what just happend: first I found out that I'm dating Emily's son then I pretty much lie straight to Emily's face, and now I had to talk with Emily and probably reveal everything. I didn't even know what to do anymore. That was pretty new situation to me I pretty much allways had some idea what I could do, but now I was perfectly out of friends tried to calm me down
"Emma calm down everything is going to be fine. You will find a way to make this work... You allways do" Alex started
"But that's just it I don't know that, first time, in a very long time I'm pretty much on nothing. I have zero ideas how to get out of this one. All I can say that you guys have to start talking to your parent's becouse this isn't gonna last. I seriously have to think what I'm gonna do with this... I have to face Emily that's a fact, but should I tell my parents before or after that, that's the real question. If you wanna blame me go right ahead this was all my fault" I said and burried my head to my hands
"Hey Emma look at us, we don't blame you for anything. If someone should be blamed it's me and straight asked us why did his name sound so familiar and we should have told you, so that you could have been more prepeared. It was you who got us a chance to go out without telling Monica and we're truly grateful to you for that. So don't feel so down. If you have to tell her just inform us so we know that it's coming. We are a team we will rise and fall together and support if needed. You did everything you could but still you know as well as we do that when it comes down to love there is no guarantees." Alex said
"Your friend is right and you know that, don't lose your faith now. My mother is gonna love you as soon as she gets to know you. Yes your father did a bad things but if everything I've heard abaut that incident is true, then they both made pretty big mistakes begining with getting engaged after few weeks of going out and married in month afterwards Besides we're not them. We just have to get them to talk with eachother that's all.. And when it comes to your parents I would say that they will more likely wanna hear it from you than my mom or anyone else." Dan said trying to calm me down.
" You guys are right. You guys are allways right. I just wanted this to be perfect with no big surprises or interuptions... and no you shouldn't have told me becouse I would have probebly paniced and called the whole thing off if I knew." I said trying to calm myself
"Emma this was a pretty big chance what you guys took here. There was no guarantee that this would work even this well. Nothing has been lost yet everything is allright, as long as we dont run into your parents or Monica I'd say this double date was a more or less succes, hey atleast now you know who your dealing with. I know you want to be on top of everything and want everything to go perfectly but it doesn't allways work that way. Specially not in love..." Jes said with a little sigh
"I know, by the way Jes anything you wanna share with the group, I have a feeling you've thougt abaut something the whole night?" I asked noticing that she has that look again, trying to get something else to think.
"W-What? I was just thinking abaut, you know things..." Jes said pretty much in panic
"Wanna be a little more specific? Maybe we can help" Dan said
"Hey I don't wanna ruin your date anymore than it's allready been ruined..." Jes said still panicing
"I'm pretty sure that this date can't get any worse from anything that you say or do, so spill it sis what's on your mind? Is it abaut that mystery guy you mentioned at my birthday, has something happend?" I asked trying to be as teasing as possible trying to hide my own nervousnes
Everyone started to look at Jes whose face went complitely red.
"Well nothing has exactly happend otherwise I guess there would be one more of us here don't you think? Well it's just that I don't just know how I feel abaut her, I dont know if I'm ready for it yet..." Jes said without realising that she had again spoken abaut her instead of him
"Her? As in you're in love with a girl? Not that there is anything wrong with I was just wondering. No one told me you're that way." Dan decided to ask with curiosity clearly a little shocked
I was kinda glad that it was him who brought it up, I didn't want to be the one who brought it up second time. And well he was the new one in the group so I knew he may be forgiven a little easier than rest of us, I mean hadn't said anything to Alex either so I was the only one who did know abaut the slip from earlier
"W-what did I just use her again instead of him? God what's wrong with me can't I use right pronauns for once when talking abaut future boyfriend..." Jes said clearly fustrated abaut something
"I want this just for the records so don't take this personally: Is there someone in this group who would have some kind of a problem with one of the other's being gay if it's not your boy or girlfriend?" I asked just so that Jes would know
No and of course not were the answers pretty much summed up. Jes looked clearly a little annoyed
"So Jes why don't you tell us abaut him then where did you meet? What does he look like? What's his name?" Alex said all exited
"Calm down Alex, maybe some other time. This night is all abaut you guys I don't wanna take away your thunder" Jes said trying to get away from the awkward situation Clearly she wasn't prepeared for a third degree questioning tonight.
"Well you wouldn't have, but don't think that I will forget it so easily I want to hear everything abaut this guy sometime so be prepeared." Alex said and Jes nodded
"As much of fun this has been should we get to the movies otherwise it will go way too late" Jack asked
"Goodpoint even though, my mom said that there is no need to hurry back I don't think we should be out for too late either. I know I need to get my mind of all of this otherwise we're gonna get gaught on the second my mom and dad will see us" I said realising that this whole episode had took almost an hour.
The movie itself got me to calm down. Everyone else seemed to be more relaxed than before the movie. Alex and Jack had clearly relaxed and were kissing clearly more freely. So did me and Dan. After the movie it seemed that everyone was more or less calmed down from the episode before. That was before another voice called for one our group this time I had no idea who was it but it was abaut to come clear in just moment
"Hey Jessica, wait up!" I heard girl voice from behind us. It was girl abaut our age, little taller than Jeessica and had pretty long hair
Jessicas POV
Oh crap and here I thought that I could get rid of all the suspicions of my sexuality I'm nowhere near ready to come out of closet not atleast in this way... So I decided it's best to try get rid of her as soon as possible.
"Oh hi Melissa what are you doing here?"
"Well trying to find you. Seems to be a little hard nowdays. I wonder why you're hiding?"
"Um..."
"Well what now? Did a cat catch your tongue? You know as well as I do what I want... And I also think that atleast one of your friends does too... Have you lost your fight along with your confidence? So do we talk private or do we do introductions? I'm fine either way.
"Could you guys wait for second we talk in private?" Jes asked a little confused
Emma's POV
I saw Alex try to say something. I showed her to stop
"Dont make a move... She has to do this on her own" I said to Alex
"No that girl is a bully don't you see that? Why are you defending her?" Alex asked
"You don't see that there is much more to this than there is to the eye." I said back
"What do you mean Emma?" Alex looked me with confusion
"What if I told you that everyting untill now has been going perfectly according to my plan?" I asked with a wicked smile
"YOU SAID WHAT!?" Came from Jack, Alex and Erica
"That's right Emilys appearence wasn't just a random accident. Neither is Melissa's. Do you really think a Mother wouldn't ask lastname of her son's girlfriend? Don't worry she promised to keep her mouth shut... Abaut you guys that is..."Dan said
" And what she meant before that we have meet just 2 of us meant that I have to arrange meeting between her and my parents... She has allready forgiven both of them what happend and she likes me alot. And by the way that whole I don't remember Waltham thing..." I began
"I call bullshit on that one with this knowledge" Alex startted to realize.
"But what was the point of all that happend before?" Jack asked
"You dont get that? To open Jes' defence of course. Didn't you guys see how closed up she has been this whole night. I knew that I wanted her to open up at all I had to show vulnerability to get her to help me and open even a little up. So that I could make her vulnerable herself"
"So you could bring her to Melissa... Of course, but wait how do you know her?
"Melissa? Old friend and judo rival of Jessicas. Haven't seen her in a while, but she came to my house and told what's been going on lately. After her story I wanted to help. Trust me Jessica smelled that somethig was going on and didn't want to come with us to our date. But I decided to throw a little bait for her..." I looked at Erica
"But I'm not g..." Erica began
"I know that, nor did I need you to be. But she needed something to admire while all the other action was going on, and I needed you to come anyways becouse of Jack... Didn't you see how she was looking at you the whole night?" I asked
"And I thought I was seeing things. I was wondering that myself what was going on... So that's the "her" she was talking abaut earlier?" Erica said wondering
"Yes" I simply said
"Do you think they're gonna be allright?" Alex asked
"Sooner or later they will be. Let's just hope that everything will go all right between them for now let's head back to home I think Jessica doesn't need us right now.
" By the way Emma have you talked to uncle Joey lately? Jack asked from
" Not in a while, why? I countered
"Well I think he would be proud of your acting performance today. Maybe you should call him after you tell your parents, maybe he could get you in a movie role in hollywood." Jack startted laughing
Please forgive me, my friend I couldn't watch your suffering anymore. It's time to let it go. I hope she's ready. Maybe not today but some day soon. I thought to myself
We arrived back to our house everyone still pretty much shocked for late reveal. Jes hadn't called me since we left so I assumed that she wanted to think things through after the talk with Melissa.
"So did you guys have fun at the movies" My mom asked
"Yeah it was awesome Jennifer Aniston still has it" I said
"Well nice to hear that I hope twins weren't that much trouble" Monica said
"No of course they weren't they behaved perfectly, I'd say if they lived closer they would be good additions to the team." I said back
"But isn't one of you guys missing, where is Jessica?" my dad realised
"No worries Jes met with an old friend of hers and decided to do little catch up, she told us that we could go without her." I said
"Oh okay"
"So I quess I better get going my mom is probably worried sick abaut me." Alex said
"Okay bye I'll see you at school" I said
Everyone said their goodbyes Jack was clearly a little upset that he had go while again without seeing her face to face. I knew everything was gonna be okay sooner or later it was all out and open
Little bit longer chapter with a little twist huh. Next time we continue with the one with all the confusion...
Since you guys who read this don't leave me any feedback I'll ask you if you have read it all the way over here. Should I indicate somehow that It's Emma or someone else thinking instead of actual conversation. I've realised that it's not that clear when I have read other fics so I wanted make sure. I mean like make it more clear. Bolding the text or something? Or is it fine as it is? Please leave me some feedback, follow and favorite if you like it would mean a lot to me to know that people actually like this (or dislike, but if you dislike then tell me what I can do better.) Hope that you guys enjoy these.
