Always You

Can't Stay Mad At You

Later that night
Emily POV

Alanna had finally gone to bed after I had taught her several Steps dance routines, she had only agreed to go after I agreed to teach her more in the morning.

Slumping down on the couch all I could think about was Randy, loving him was some what of a curse becuase whenever I didn't have something so occupy my mind I would think of him and if drove me crazy.

I smile as I remember trying to get Randy to dance to Steps with me, he would always refuse to do so, he hated Steps so I know I'm not going to be popular when he finds out I've taught Alanna the routines, she's the one person he can't say no to.

As long as it wasn't Steps Randy is always happy to dance with me,  we even despite never being a couple have a song and everytime we hear it no matter where we are or what we are doing he will grab me and start dancing with me, god I wish I didn't feel like this about him.

Hearing my phone ring, I grab it expecting it to be Sam but instead it's a video call from Randy which confuses me somewhat.

"Hey you weren't supposed to call til tomorrow" I say as I answer the call

"I didn't want to wait that long" he says "you don't mind do you?"

"Just remember your daughter is in my house" I say "I don't want her to hear us fighting she upset enough"

"Why is she upset?" He asks

"She thinks us falling out means she won't see me anymore" I say "don't worry I have assured her that won't happen"

"I don't want us to fall out Em and I don't want you to stay away" he says "we've been through alot together, we've been there for each other through everything, your my best friend, I love you, and I don't want to lose you" he says giving those puppy dog eyes I can't resist

"That's not fair, you know I can't stay mad at you when you say that" I say trying to pout but smile instead

"Say what?" He smirks "oh you mean I love you"

"Yes stop it" I laugh

"And why can't you stay mad at me when I say it?" He asks and I know exactly what he wants me to say

"Because I love you too" I say knowing that I meant it in a different way "I don't want to lose you either I'm just trying to do the right thing"

"The right thing is to stay in my life" he sighs "please Em this is killing me, can't we all just try to make this work?"

"Alright, I'm sorry" I sigh, how the hell does he do that? How does he always manage to get me to apologise when he's in the wrong? "I promise I'll try"

"That's all I need" he smiles "hey is that my shirt?" He asks

"Um maybe" I laugh "your shirts are comfortable so sue me"

"So that's where my shirts keep disappearing to" he laughs "I can get you your own you know"

"Nah it wouldn't be the same" I say "besides if I had them in my size they'd be too small to use as night shirts"

"You sleep in my shirts?" He asks rasing an eyebrow

"Like I said they are comfortable" I say, what else am I supposed to say? I can't very well tell him that I sleep in his shirts becuase he's worn them and they smell like him

"Ok you can keep the shirts" he laughs "so did you and Alanna enjoy your dance party?"

"Oh yeah I taught her so many Steps routines I.......oops" I say putting my hand over my mouth

"Steps? Really Em?" He sighs "you know she's going to want me to do them with her and I can't say no to her"

"Oh I'm fully aware of that" I laugh "and I'm not sorry"

"You're lucky I love you" he smiles "I gotta go but I will come see you when I get back"

"You better becuase I miss you" I smile

"I miss you too Em" he smiles "see you soon"

When the call ends I drop my phone on the couch and rub my hands down my face. Damn him, his puppy dog eyes and smooth talking ways. This time I really wanted to stay mad at him, I really wanted to prove to myself that he couldn't always win me over and I failed miserably.

And worse I agreed to try and make things work with Kim! Yeah I'm going to try, try not to smack her in the mouth the next time she gets in my face.
