How Far Can We Go?

Chapter 5

As it turned out Jake let her live.

        It had been a month since then, not only that see hadn't seen Zach in a month and one week. She wouldn't tell her brother for fear of stressing himout, and she couln't tell Zach because he was doing his job all the way in China. Emily got jelous of other girls real easy espesaly whrn she couldn't talk of facechat her husband.She was stressed which was not good for the baby or Emily herself.

        As Emily though about waking her brother up she changed her mind the smell of sunny side up eggs, bacon, and tost with butter and strawberry jam. Also a waffle because Mike loved waffles. She was also thinking about picking out his cloths as she did every so often when he was younger. NO, she thought. Emily knew she hovered bad enough as it was, but she couln't help herself. So instead of listening to the logical side of her she goes upstairs tiptoing into Mike's bedroom she dugg through his dressers silently picking out a nice outfit. Also which shoes would look best with the outfit, and she layed it on top of his dresser.

        "Your hovering. That's not even begining to describe what you are doing.! This is beond hovering! I know you miss Zach, and I know your pregnet, but Ems you gotta back off and give me space. You know that thing you always say your motto."

        "Yes I know I am sorry I just couldn't stop myself." She pleaded her case.

        "I know. Don't let it happen too much, okay?"

        "Does that mean I can hover alittle bit?"

        "Once in a while! Do not make a habbit out of it."

*******

Emily was nervous for her job interview. She didn't tell her brother that's why she was hovering, but he should have known that she always hovered when she was nervous.

        "Hello! Okay so what experience have you had in teaching?"

        "I have taught multiple age and class groups. I have taught grade K-10 in many subjects. Here is my resume," Emily handed her resume to the women who could have been 67 if it was possible.

        "Well I see your qualified, but I would like to know the number and adresses of your former emplorers. As well as a reference to your co-workers, and some students.If that is possible of course?" She had a look of mocking intimitation on her fat wrinkled face.

        "Oh, yes!!! I can have it writen in five mintues," With that Mrs.Grim no longer held her look of high inteigence.

        "Playing fun teacher won't get you anywhere. I thought I might add for you benifit, of corse."

        "Oh, I get it completly. But I do have a varity of degrees in many things. If I don't get this job I could get one across town at the other school." Holding her head high other the up-tight-biddy.

        "Yes, well I don't think there is any problem." Finnly backing down from the leading potion.

        "Bye, have a good day!" Without farther words she got up and strodded out of the room, being cocky for the first time.

********

        "Emily?! There you are.......Mike?"

        "She won't be here for a while,do you know about the news?"

        "Yes, why wouldn't I know she is about to be the mother of my kid. I bet she thinks it's a girl, but it's not. My man is going to be a guy. I will have a son first."

        "Try to  tell that to her. Ha, I've been trying to get that through her head. Good luck, you'll need it. Warning she may hover, she has been a lot lately."

        "Oh no! I think I will get through it."

        "Really? I am I that bad!?"

        "Oh, dang!" They guys said in unition.

        "More like an 'oh shit' moment, but whatever."

        "I missed you!"

        "And yet there you both were saying about my hovering. I don't hover!" Even when she said it she knew she was, but they couldn't know she had addmited they were right for once. She could never say they were right, all women know that rule.

        "Uh hu?"

        "I don't bye that bull!" Mike huffed, than busted out laughing.

"Well in that case cook your own food, both of you!" Emily snapped jokingly.

"Aren't you a happy camper?! Hahahahaha! Come here dear I haven't kissed you in forever!"

"You won't be aloud to kiss me being so rude," playful banter was the one thing she aloud in the house after her parents-she hated saying it- deaths. "But I'll let you kiss me I can't stand it anymore, though we should wait for Mike to go to sleep." With that she went to the kitchen with a wink, she wouldn't be bothered anymore Mike and Zack never went in the kitchen. They only went to the dinning room when it was time to eat, they did manly labor, and Emily did the womanly labor.

Emily loved her kitchen, the shelves were painted a baby blue, the counter marble, the floor was hard wood, and the stove was a fire place. The fire place made the house warm, and gave it that home smell too, thought that also might have to do with the fact that Emily made things from scratch, if she could there was some things she would never  cook.
