An Escape From Reality

Chapter Two.

Writers POV.

It was finally the weekend and fortunately Emily didn't have to go to school on Monday as it was October Half-Term. She was baking cookies and had just put them in the oven and began to clean up.

Her parents were at work today but would be home later as they were only at their town office this weekend. As she wiped down the surfaces and washed up the dishes, the timer rang signalling to her that her gooey cookies were ready. Emily put her oven mitts on and took out the hot tray. Mmmm they smelled delicious and looked great too.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang startling Emily, who could that be she thought as she went to answer the door. The stranger knocked twice and then waited patiently. Emily got to the door and peeked through the peek-hole. She saw that it was her teacher Miss Harrison. Quickly she unlocked and greeted her. "Oh, Hi Miss Harrison, what are you doing here? Hehe you okay?" She spoke. Miss Harrison spoke, "Hello Emily, it's nice to see you too, I'm great, thanks for asking. Also, I'm not sure you noticed but the sale board on your neighbours house has been lifted, seems like I'm moving in. I just wanted to introduce myself and I guess you didn't need one seeing as we already know each other."

"Congratulations on your new home Miss Harrison, do you think I could come and have a look?" Emily said. "Thank you, yes of course you can, follow me. Outside of school you can address me with my first name, Zara." She replied. Emily grabbed her keys and followed Zara down their driveway and up her new neighbours porch. They got to the door and Emily was ready to take off her shoes. "It's okay you can leave them on if you want." Zara said as she noticed Emily. Emily replied and said it was fine as she was used to taking them off in her own home. As they entered, Emily was too stunned to speak. A huge hallway and grand staircase welcomed her. A majestic chandelier hung from the high ceiling and she looked from left to right smiling, "Wow, Zara your house looks amazing, loving the style." She had china printed tile stairs and mahogany floors and stairway. As she saw doors on both sides leading off to different rooms.
She started toward the staircase and made their way up.

Reaching  the top of the stairs, Zara stopped, Emily bumped into her slightly but apologised quickly and moved away. They started walking towards the first bedroom at the end of the hall when suddenly the house shook. Emily gasped and Zara took her hand and pulled themselves close together for a short minute. The ceiling fell above them, they were crushed and trapped beneath, lucky leaving a little breathing space. Emily broke their fall, she was strong and the floor was covered by a rug. "Oh my God, Emily are you okay?, I'm so sorry about this... she exclaimed. Emily replied, "Yes Zara, um I'm fine, you couldn't have predicted this would happen anyway. Don't worry, I have my phone to call the emergency services to help us out." She grabbed her phone from her pocket and dialled 999 for help. They said they would be coming soon and so they waited. Zara tried to make some space for them, failing helplessly she only moved further up Emily's strong torso. "Holy moly, hope these people get here soon because it's getting a bit hot in here," said Zara.

The fire services got to the house 20 minutes later, luckily not having to break the door down as it was unlocked. They pulled both Zara and Emily out slowly from under the rubble and carried them down to get checked for any injuries. Both of them were fine, just a little shaken up. Zara finished the call with the insurance company and they advised that they would send the workers to fix the ceiling and roof the following Monday. This meant Zara would have to go home for the weekend down to London. Emily overheard her plans as Zara talked to her friend on the phone, she asked her parents if Zara could stay at theirs so it meant Zara would find it easier to be at work after the weekend. Zara was hesitant at first, but they insisted. So, Emily guessed she would have to sleep with Zara in her bed. Great.

They entered the home, Hailee suggested Zara take a shower in Emily's room and for Emily to use the family bathroom across the hallway. Zara had stepped into the shower, the door unlocked from habit. Emily forgot her towel was in her bathroom. Not realising that Zara would be inside, she stepped in and gasped, "OMG, I'm so sorry, Emily exclaimed. Zara tried to cover up and blushed. Emily had her head down, blood rushing to her cheeks, she grabbed her towel and turned around and walked out. Letting out a sigh, she kept thinking about Zara's  stunning figure. She was slim built and had large breasts. They sat above a stomach that looked like it was carved from stone, a six pack, water trickling down her abs and reaching her core. Her legs, toned and long, crossed over so her centre was covered.

Emily went to use the family bathroom, and 15 minutes later was making her way back to her room. She knocked this time, so she wouldn't repeat what happened earlier. "Come in", she heard Zara's voice. As Emily entered her room she apologised once again for barging in to the bathroom. Zara blushed and said it was okay. Emily had left a pair of pyjamas that Zara could wear. It was a white vest top and blue pinstripe short-shorts. Grazing her eyes over Zara, she was caught red-handed in the act. "You'll catch a fly if you keep your mouth open too long," Zara said, winking at Emily. "Sorry, Miss Harrison." Emily replied.  Emily sat on her bed and opened her iPad to watch her show, Zara joined her and found that she also was watching the same show and had almost reached the part Emily was watching. So Emily explained the rest and they watched a couple of episodes. Emily put the iPad in charge at her desk and was about to leave the bed so that she could go to sleep on the couch, she felt a hand and then heard a whisper, "stay..." so she did. She laid back into bed and soon felt a head on her shoulder, smiling, she soon fell asleep.
