Always You

Emily POV

Sinking into the bubble filled bath I had run for myself after Uncle Glenn had left I let out a deep breath, lay my head by the tap and close my eyes. For the first time in two months I could finally relax, Cruella is gone and Randy and I can focus on us properly.

The one thing I always disliked about his job was him being away so much, I fully support his career choice and I'm proud of what he has achieved I just hate missing him. Right on que my phone rings "I swear if that is my dad" I say under my breath but when I look at my phone I see Randy's name of the screen.

"Randy?" I answer

"Hey beautiful, how are you feeling?" he asks

"Great actually I'm just relaxing in the tub" I say

"Oh well in that case" he says and ends the call, staring at my phone in disbelief I'm about to start cursing him when it rings again this time with a video call.

"Really?" I say answering the call

"Hey you said you were in the tub, which means you're naked" he smirks "and I never miss an opportunity"

"Well sorry to disappoint but there is nothing to see" I laugh "Everything is hidden under bubbles"

"I'll just use my imagination then" he says wiggling his eyebrows "anyway you seem happier"

"oh I am Cruella is gone" I smile

"Cruella?" he laughs "I'm guessing you mean my ex wife, and what do you mean she's gone?"

"Let's just say the devils favourite demon helped her move out" I say

"Man I am bummed I missed that" he laughs "but at least now we can move on properly together, and speaking of together there's something I'd like to discuss with you"

"Oh? what is it?" I ask "Do I need to be worried?"

"Well I've been doing some thinking about Home and what that word means to me" he says "and for me home is where you are, it's walking through the door and seeing you smiling at me, it's being able to hold you straight away. Em, baby what would you say if I asked you to move in with me?"

"I'd say yes" I say and the biggest smile crosses his face "but I want a new bed and bedding, there is no way I am sleeping in anything her skanky ass has been in or on"

"I wouldn't expect you to" he laughs "I'll text you my card details, order whatever bed and bedding you want and then make sure you're sexy ass is moved into that house by the time I get home"

"Alright" I say "but any other changes, and there will be some because I want every trace of her removed from that house, we make together"

"You got it" he smiles "and this will be good for Alanna too, it means she only has two houses to go between instead of three"

"and I get to spend more time with her too" I smile

"Exactly" he says "we can build our future in that house Em, have a family of our own"

"wow you really have been thinking about this haven't you?" I smile

"You have no idea" he says "I want everything with you, marriage, kids, everything. I love you Em, god I wish I was with you right now so I could show you just how much"

 "I love you too handsome, and everything you just said I want that too" I say "As far as showing me, you'll just have to wait until you come home"

"I hate missing you" he sighs "remind me again why you won't travel with me?"

"Because if we are both gone, there is no one to give Sam a break" I say "and besides absence makes the heart grow fonder"

Randy adjusts himself so he is laying back on his bed with his free arm behind his head

"You see this big old empty space here right next to me?" he says "you should be here"

"I tell you what, Uncle Glenn wants me to visit soon so you let me know when you're going to be in Tennessee and I will visit then" I say   

"Alright hang on" he says sitting up "Ok according to this I'll be there week after next, but I think you should come out and join me in Virginia next week and then we can travel to Tennessee together because I'm going to need more than two nights with you baby"

"Oh is that so?" I laugh "in that case I will see you next week"
