CHAPTER 62:

Emma's POV:

It's Monday morning and I am up at 6 in the morning. I am still thinking about what Jeremy said and I still don't know what to do. I get out of bed and get ready early.

I can not fall asleep again so I grab a cup of coffee and prepare one for Ver. I walk out with all the stuff needed for Uni and just start driving around. I decide to wear black sweat pants and a white knitted sweater with that. I wear thick boots to keep my feet warm.

I wander around for a few minutes before heading straight to Uni. I sit through all the lectures. But instead of not paying attention, I paid attention in every single lecture. I made conversation with everyone around me. I don't know what changed but I am glad it did.

I didn't know how to talk to jeremy after what happened but I was surprised when he came over and made a light conversation. It felt nice and refreshing. I could see that it was really hard for him to not pull me in a hug and kiss but I could see that he was trying his best. I know because it was the same for me. I wanted to grab him and pull him down for a kiss. His musty fragrance was driving me insane. I blame the smell.

Tuesday rolls in and I am driving to the cafe for my shift at 11.

"Hey Martha" I greet Martha as she places muffins and pastries in the shelves.

"Hey, you look happy" she says.

"What do you mean?" I say in confusion as I tie the apron around my waist.

"The last few weeks, you've been really lost but you just seem brighter, there is a weird skip while you walk too. Nothing bad but I am glad that whatever was bothering you isn't bothering you anymore" she says and walks over to me. She pulls me down for a hug which makes me even more happy. I don't know what she was exactly saying but I think it all happened after Jeremy and I talked.

We pull apart and the first customer walks in. And just like that our day gets busy. After that, there are people walking in and out and we keep serving them.

It's 2.30 in the afternoon when the rush gets less and we get some time to breath. Two other waiters along with Martha and I take a break at this time.

The ring at the entrance rings and we look over. I look at the door with wide eyes. I never imagined seeing her again after she left. Emily is standing there with Scarlett and one more kid in her hand.

"Sorry, we are closed" James, one of the other waiter says.

"Actually, I was here to talk to Emma" she says and looks at me. Her face not giving away what she is thinking. On the other hand, my face screams 'what the hell she wants to talk to me about'. I sit there still not able to comprehend what is happening.

"Emma?" Emily says again, her voice holding a little concern when I don't respond.

"Emma?" This time, its Martha who says and shakes me out of my trance.

"Umm.. yeah" I say and follow Emily as she takes a seat in the corner. Martha ushers others inside to give us some privacy.

"Emma, are you okay? You look pale" Emily says and Scarlett stares at me.

"Ya.. sorry I spaced out. What did you want to talk about?" I say, shaking off the dumbness.
