2  MONTHS LATER

“LEAVE ME ALONE!”

She yelled at me. I pounded the door. “Emma, Please,” I yelled at the door.

“No, Leave Kaithlyn alone!” She cried again.

I closed my eyes. I haven’t seen her, talked to her, or heard her for so long. She had disappeared from my life. I needed to find her, throughout the time John’s been setting me up with different girls on different dates finally now he found her cousin. Emma.

2 Weeks ago.

“Drake where are you?”

“I’m not going?”

“Dude you can’t stand her up” John yelled in the phone.

“Watch me,”

“Fine the chicks Kaithlyn’s close friend, not that it matters or anything,”

“What?”

“Check her out dude, she’s hot,”

“I’m still not going,” I said stubbornly.

“Your call, I’ll tell her, she’s already there, dude,”

I looked at my phone as I hung up, temptation surround me. Why not just take a peek of her. Then I scolded myself. Don’t, I wanted Kaithlyn but it was her choice.

Who was I kidding?

I was driven insane by the thought of her. Shoot, I rushed up grabbed my car keys and drove all the way to Café Ohsle, the neighbourhood’s teen hang out. I looked around not recognising her, I’ve never met Emma before. I saw a pretty long haired girl, she had brown hair and honest brown eyes. She spotted me and stood up “Drake? John told me you weren’t coming.” She said.

Her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

“Yeah, I wasn’t planning on…” I said sliding out of the car. She smiled and looked at me her eyes trailing down my body and she put a hand to her mouth.

“I can see that,” She said biting her fingers, something I found incredibly cute.

I looked down and I jumped back into the car, “Shit, sorry you had to see that, I…” my voice trailed off. I looked at my blue boxers with rubber ducks on them.

She started laughing. “It’s a cute colour,” she giggled.

“Emma, so since I’m half dressed, why don’t you follow me back home and…”

Her eyes widened.

“I didn’t mean it like that, I meant…”

She smiled, “I got what you mean,” She giggled. She slid in the passenger seat of my car and was nice enough to not look at my boxers “If this is your first impression on a date and can see why girls like it,” She laughed.

Something about her laugh made me smiled and chuckle. “I guess so.”

I clambered down the living room, dressed in a tight grey shirt and blue denims, Emma looked up and smiled at me. “You look good,” She commented.

“Thanks, You don’t look so bad yourself,” That was a lie. She was pretty but her shirt was plain disturbing it was a picture of some mammal or amphibian and it said I’m Your Mother.

She smiled “Thanks,”

She stood up and we walked to my car. I asked her “So do you know Kaithlyn,”

“Yeah, why?”

“I was wondering if you knew where she was?” I looked away from those beautiful honest brown eyes.

“No, Drake I know you No,”

“What do you know?” I whispered angrily.

She looked at her fingers small and delicate. “Enough, about you and her.” She looked away and I felt bad.

“Sorry, it’s weird, I still like her,” I said. I wanted to yell at myself, why did I tell her that? Of all things I could have told her.

We went there and she ordered peach cream and I took a chocolate smoothy. “So how do you know Kaithlyn?”

“We’re related,” She said, “She’s my cousin,” She played with her curly brown hair and I felt bad.

“So, what do you like to do,” I asked her, running a hand through my hair. I’d have rather talk about Kaithlyn and figure out where she was rather than be here. But I figured that if I ever wanted to find out about Kaithlyn I needed to get Emma to trust me.
