I started going to school yesterday, so I'll be more busy for now on. Anyway, I'll try to update everytime I can, I swear!
This is a kind of short chapter, I'm so sorry! I wrote it at school and will have to do that always I think, I just dont have time but I can't leave you guys in the middle of the story, I know! I'll do my best to write longer chapters.
Enjoy and thanks for the reviews.
I arrived at the hotel early, it was around 10 a.m., I wanted to take Emma out for breakfast. I'd even brushed my hair today and, believe me, I never do that; Emma had always bothered me about that, I wanted she to see I could change if I wanted to.
I walked in and looked around; the place was huge and, his father must have loads of money! I walked toward the receptionist and aksed her about Emma.
"Miss Darling's not in her room right now" she told to me.
"Oh... Do you know where she is?"
"Yes, she asked us to call a cab about two hours ago. I believe she was going to the hospital"
That horrible feeling in my body came back. Have you even felt like something is seriously falling inside your body? As if your sould was falling... I felt that way, I felt horrible.
"Is she alright?" I asked.
"I think so"
"What do you mean you think so? Is she or not alright?"
"Sir, please, keep your voice down"
"Is she or nor alright!?"
"Her nose was bleeding"
"Oh, fuck..." I bitted my lower lip and ran outside. I was running toward my car when I saw Emma coming down from a cab. I ran to her and held her tighly in my arms "What the hell happened to you? Why did you go to the hospital? Why didn't you call me? Is your nose alright?"
"This is exactly why I didn't call you" she smiled.
"Is this funny for you? I almost had a heart-attack, Emma!"
She sighed and took both my hands with hers. She looked me in the eyes, her face was serious but also kind "I'm ok, Dougie... You brushed your hair, it looks nice"
I smiled at her surprised look "It always does, baby"
She laughed "Now why dont you take me to eat something? I'm starving"
"Wait... Why do I feel that you are not telling me something?"
"That's funny, I feel the same way about you. Why dont you tell me what you are hiding?"
Ok, she got me "Let's go to eat"
"Yes, that's what I thought" I rather be a coward that being rejected.... I'm no way telling her about my feelings.
Anyway, why is it that she always wins even if we are not competing? She's so damn smart!... She took my hand again, forcing me to push my thoughts to the back of my mind again. I loved it when she did that, though it was something normal between us.
I took her to the nicest place in London; she deserved it, I could afford it and I wanted to impress her. I noticed she didn't ever took off her coat; I wondered if she was still hiding the big bruise or if she had blood over it. She didn't eat much or maybe I wasn't use to eating with normal people anymore... Though Giovanna was keeping Tom under a serious.
"Did you love anny of the girls you dated?" she asked me.
"Well... I think I felt something for Louise, but I was never around by then, the band was keeping me so busy. Though no, I never really got to feel anything for any of them"
"How long is it going to be until that happens to us?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"How long is it going to be until you won't be around me anymore?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"Should I?"
"Of course! I won't let anything come between us ever again, I promise"
"Don't make promises you can't keep"
I was upset and she didn't seem to happy either. Why is she saying this to me now? Everything was just perfect two minutes ago! Is she trying to tell me she's leaving or something like that? Does she still hate me that much?"
"I want to go home" she said "I want to rest"
I paid and drove her to the hotel. I didn't even understand whow we had started fighting, it was so unlike us, but she was silent and I was too damn proud to break the ice.
"I'm not upset" she said before leaving "Pick me up later if you want"
Being on my own with my feelings wasn't something I wanted, so I drove to Tom's house and found him writing a new song in the living-room.
"Where's Emma?" was the first thing he said.
"Nice to see you too" I said abd sat next to him "I'm not married to her, you know?"
"Well, I hope one day you will, she's awesome" he said.
"She's not even my girlfriend yet"
"You should hurry up, dude, or someone else will get her"
"You think?"
"Of course, she's the kind of girl every guy wants"
"You already have Giovanna, remember?"
"Oh, I forgot" he raced an eyebrow and I laughed. He was right though, Emma was the kind of girl you would want to keep if you were a guy, but I was too insecure and immature to do something about it, I hadn't made up my mind yet and now Tom had said that to me, I felt the pressure of time... It was all about time. How long was I going to fool around with her? How long would I resist watching her from the distance? How long would it take until someone else got her attention? How long was it going to be until she fell in love with someone who wasn't me? How long was it going to be until I admitted I was in love with her?
"I think she's hiding something..." I sighed.
"Stop doing that, you always screw up every relationship you ever have"
"Thanks for the support"
"What I mean is that if she has something to tell you, she will, Doug... We all see how you are when you are together, she's not the type of girl who would hide something... At least not from you. And if she did, I bet she has her reasons and that she will tell you sooner or later"
"Yes, I guess you are right"
"Just remember that she wont wait forever"
