It Started With Hello

Epilogue 2

"Wanna take a walk with me" Blake said his eyes where completely captivated by her she changed so much but the things that were true to her remained the same. Like the way the corner of her lips curved when she smiles to the way he could read all of her emotions just by looking  in her eyes. And the way she played with her hair when she got nervous like she was doing right now. Emma swallowed hard unable to speak lost in his eyes all these years hasn't dulled the feeling at all, Kandy looks at her before placing a hand on her shoulder "She would love to" she pushed Emma forward slightly snapping her out of the dazed state. She took a moment to glare in her direction before looking back at Blake he gestured his head towards the front door before walking away. She lets out a small breath wiping her sweaty hands down the front of her dress before following after him out the front door. As she followed behind him she could help but admire his broad shoulders he glanced back at her making her shyly look at the ground. Blake smiled slightly seeing that he still had a effect on her "Come on Em, walk beside me" it throws her hearing the old nickname but she jogs faster to catch up. She had no clue where he was taking her she just blindly followed...like old times "How have you been you look well?" he makes a effort to lead the conversation "I've been good my non-profit has really taken off. I'm happy to be back home" she whispered making him smile. She must be thinking he had completely no idea what was going on in her life these past few years. But that couldn't be farther from the truth while she was away Kandy and Chris would always keep him updated on her activities and of course he stalked her Instagram and tic tok on the regular. She glanced up at him bitting her lip suprised he didn't ask about how college went. Did he not care? Did he not think of her at all? Well if he wasn't making a big deal of it she wouldn't either "And you how have you been here Chris told me about the new shop congratulations" they both seemed to be tip toeing around the real subject here. He pushes back his hair looks up at the clouds "It's been fine but it was kinda boring without my number one trouble maker" she smiles softly they reach the pier their feet stepping across the wood it was empty but the pair of them it was peaceful. So he did miss her at least a little "Your...your not going to ask about my college experience if it was eveything I wanted?" she couldn't help but ask she had to know. They stop walking looks over the edge of their pier into the water he lips crack into a grin looks her way while leaning against the railing "How was it?" even though he was asking she could sense that he didn't really want to or need to know. She smiles widely putting on the bravest face she can muster "It was great I made so many friends had so many great experiences. It was amazing...." she said weakly voice breaking before looking down into the water. She swallowed sniffling yes she had fun while she was away and made great friends that will be with her forever but she missed everything here she missed him. Tear run down her cheeks she turns her head away wiping them away "Shit..." she whispered frustrated by her emotions. He watched her closely before lefting a hand. He turns her face back towards him to push the wet hair out her eyes "Why aren't you asking if I met someone else and fell in love? Why are you asking as if you could careless if I had crazy college experiences?" she meets his eyes as his hand falls from her face. She was searching his eyes from answers "Because none of that matters anymore Emma...you came back to me" he smiles making her laugh slightly wiping away a few stray tears. She bites her lip looking down "You don't know I could have a child and a husband by now" he grabs her chin bring her eyes back to his. She licks her lips with anticipation "I could always read you Em if you where married you would have been wearing a ring" his hand moves to hers running his fingers over hers. Emma's heart was beating hard she felt like she could hear it "And if you had another man's child I wouldn't have minded as long as you promised I could be their father. Nothing would have kept me from being with you again Emma. I waited for you for so long it took so much for me not to reach out to not drop everything just to be with you. But I wanted you to have your freedom and you did...and you came back to me I couldn't be happier. It's always ever been you Emma only ever you I love you so much" a cry breaks through her throat at his words. He didn't care about anything else only her she couldn't believe he waited for her for 7 years. She cover her eyes with her hands crying into them "I've already waited so long we've lost so much time together but I hope this can make up for all those years of waiting and if you'll still have me..." she pulls her hands away from her eyes seeing him in front of her on one knee. Her eyes widen falling to the red velvet box in his hand before opening up the lid. Inside sat a beautiful siver band with a small diamond in the middle "I love you Emma Pear from the moment I saw you you've taken my breath away. From the very moment you said hello to me I knew you where the one. I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy will you merry me" she falls into his arms crying holding him close. He smiles wrapping his arms around her "Yes! Yes! Blake oh my god we're getting married" she pulled back alittle and he slides the ring onto her finger it was beautiful and perfect. She grabs the sides of his face kissing him hard this was only the beginning of their story and to think it all just started with a simple hello.
