I walked away very fast; I couldn't breathe, my chest was heavy, I thought my lungs didn't work anymore...I needed to get some fresh air quickly or I would die in two minutes, my mind was out of order.
Emily...I have dreamed about this moment for such a long time, I was afraid I would go crazy thinking about you...and now? What now?
I wanted you so bad...
This is not real, it can't be real.

I was almost running when I heard a few steps behind me and another breath. I stopped walking and all of a sudden I realized I was in the middle of nowhere, there were only bushes, trees and two houses.
Apparently I had walked a lot without a particular direction and there was where I stopped and I got scared hearing the steps getting closer to me.
Someone cleared his throat to warn me was right behind my back, so I slowly turned and I saw Emily- Oh my god, she was really gorgeous- I stood stunned a moment, then I had to reply her greeting.
"Uhm...Hi, Emily" I blushed.
"I was looking for you, where were you going in such a hurry?"
"What? Oh, anywhere...I was just taking a walk" I smiled embarrassed. I couldn't tell her I was freaking out because of her. My heart raced and stopped at the same time.
"Amy, are you okay? You are looking pale..."
"Ehm, yes. I'm fine. Really" I faked a smile. She gave me a worried look, I was about to panic.
"Thanks God. Did I chose a bad moment to reach for you?"
"What?" I was enable to understand, as if she was speaking another language.
"I need to talk with you..You know, I haven't travel this far to visit the Blanton Museum of Art..."
"Oh, yes. Right...I'm sorry, but I am not in the mood...Maybe we could..."
"Don't"
"What?"
"Acting like this, as if you don't care"
"What should I do? You got me by surprise and right now I'm not ready to face the music...I have spent a lot of time thinking of you, but at last I made up my mind"
"What did you decide, then?"
"I decided to forget you"
"Is it really necessary?"
"Of course. Probably you are still into Paige..I don't want to flog a dead horse..."
"I came here to tell you there is no dead horse. As soon as I understood that Paige wasn't the right one I planned this trip. Just to see you and tell you what I feel" She looked me in the eyes, I was touched, ready to cry, she was really beautiful.
Emily smiled a bit then added lowing her look:" I really like you. I want to give it a shot. Please" Her glance was warm.
"Uhm...what am I supposed to say? Obviously I want to try, but what if you change your mind? You will break my heart in thousand pieces"
"Amy, look at me" she stared at me until I raised my eyes toward hers "It is not going to happen, this is a promise"
I wasn't able to speech a word.
"Amy, I'm here to apologize. I didn't want to send you a message or give you a call...I needed to see you, to tell you face to face. I was nervy, I didn't know if you would be happy or angry, but I decided to come here and try. There's no harm in trying...While we were driving I realized it was the best decision ever and I am glad to see you. Now I am in your hands...it's up to you"
"I don't know what to say...I'm confused. I haven't heard from you for ages, now you show up and you make me feel such a mess. No, I can't..."
She didn't let me finish, Emily came closer to me and put her mouth on mine. I felt her heat through her touch, her lips were soft and tasty, she put her arms around me and wrapped me. I returned the kiss. It lasted for a couple of minutes and was so great. When we divided I already missed her lips, her tongue, her body near mine.

"Was it helpful?" She asked with an innocent voice.
"Not really"
"Can I invite you for a coffee?"
"When?"
"Later...Now I should meet the girls"
"Oh, great. Okay"
"Amy, don't worry. I'm not here to ditch you. I'm here because I acted like a bitch, I pulled you away, but I like you and I want to mend, if you only give me a chance"
"I have a question.."
"Ask, then"
"How did you menage to convince the girl to go on this trip?"
"Oh. I didn't know what to make up so I confessed Hanna my feelings towards you and she made up she wanted to go and see her mother, who lives in Dallas with Tom. There don't live in Dallas, actually they live in California, but she wanted to see me happy so she doesn't care about lying"
"What about the other if they find out?"
"They won't. We have already organized everything, and our winning move is that Aria and Spencer don't know you live here in Austin, they don't have a clue. I just told them we could stop here in Austin for a while before getting to Dallas, they were very excited, so we stopped by. Spencer and Aria also decided to go to San Antonio this evening, Hanna and I told them we would have book a room here. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Dallas, but I'll think something out to stay here. Now I have to go. Spencer drove Hanna to the library, so Aria asked me to go with her visiting a bit around, then we should meet at the square. Amy, don't worry. I want to see you later, I'll text you"
She smiled in a way that disarmed me. I was completely lost, but the I really liked the idea that someone had to hide me, to be a someone's secret. I pinched my arm to wake me up, but I didn't wake up, because I wasn't dreaming, that was the fucking reality and Emily was right in front of me in the flesh!
"Okay, Emily. I'll wait "
"It will worth it, I swear" she hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"See you"
"Bye bye" she waved me and I stood up watching her walking away, slowly, out of my sight.
Suddenly I felt the happiest girl in the whole world and nothing could bring me down, because it was a dream that was about to come true.
