Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter and to all the people that followed and favourited this story. Again I'm sorry for the short chapter, I promise the more I get into the story the longer it will be. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think, cause again I say this all the time but they really do make me want to write more. :)
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing I just like to borrow them
Emily got up really early because today was the day Derek was coming. She was really nervous and didn't know how this week would go. She hoped it would go ok and that they would know where to go from here.
A couple of hours later her door knocked and she knew it was him, her stomach was full of butterflies as she made her way to the door to let him in. She opened the door and there he was she wanted to hug him but he bet her too it. As soon as he saw her he pulled her into the biggest hug.
"I have missed you so much Em"
"I've missed you too, come through"
He lets her out of the hug and they make their way through to the living room. She doesnt really know what to do or say, she is just looking at him with a confused expression on her face.
"What's wrong Emily?"
"Nothing, I just dont know what to say or do. I am so happy you are here and i don't want things to be awkward between us, i want us to be back how we were and i dont know how to do that."
"There is no akwardness here, i think you are just overthinking things, lets just relax get something to eat because i am hungry and we will watch a movie. We do need to talk but i am here for a week it can wait ok."
She smiles at him because he always knows what to say to make her feel better.
"That sounds really good, I'm not a great cook but i can make us a sandwich and while i'm doing that you get yourself comfy and pick a movie."
"Sounds good Em."
Later that day still sitting on the couch, Emily looks over at Derek and she just wants to hug him, but she feels that they need to talk before they get to that stage.
"Derek, can we talk now?"
"Of course we can"
"I'm sorry for the way i reacted, and for not really saying anything the last time we spoke. I want to be with you, I want to come home. I also want to be honest with you about how i feel."
"I want all of that too"
He reaches over and clasps her hand in his.
"Ok, the reason i didnt come to D.C and asked you to come here instead is because, now i know this is stupid ok and i'm going to sound completely crazy but i want us to be truthful right from the start, the way you were with me i guess. Anyway the reason was because all i could think about was you and that girl in your house and i didnt want to be there. I know it's stupid and pathetic and everything else in that category but yeah"
He lifts his hand to stroke her face.
"Emily, listen to me ok. You are none of those things well a little crazy but thats another reason why i love you. I understand why you feel like that, and i kind of thought that was the reason. I have a solution, I've just bought another property to do up, and right from when i first looked at it, i thought of you and me. I don't want us to live at my house i want us to live in our house."
Hearing him say those words was all she needed, she should of realised he wouldn't expect her to live in a house that was just him, he wasnt like that.
"I love you Derek"
"I love you too, baby now come over here and give me a hug."
She makes her way to him and they both get comfy on the couch holding eachother and to watch the end of the film, they both know there is a lot more to talk about but like they said before that can wait. For the rest of night they are just going to enjoy being with each other again. The important stuff will still be there another day.
