Just Roommates (Hardin Scott Story)

Chapter 16

Hardin POV

Emily and I got out of the her mother room and waiting room to calm her down. Emily saw her mother and she immediately broke down. I don't think she thought it was real until she saw the body. I had to pull her out immediately so she can calm down. She has been crying for the past 20 minutes or so. I took her to one of the chairs and I sat down and pulled her on my lap. She looked at me and I saw that she has tears streaming down her face. I gave her a small smile and wiped the tears streaming down her face.

"You okay?" I asked her

"A little bit. Thanks for holding me" she said and I smiled at her

"You're welcome. You ready to go home?" I asked her and she nodded "Alright. Let's go home" I told her

"Okay" she said

We got up from our seat and headed to the car.

-!-

The whole car ride Emily was silent like dead silent. I don't know what to say or do. I don't want to talk because I don't want to say the wrong thing and make her cry again. We got back home and she was laying down on our bed.

I decided to leave her alone because that's what I find out about her. When she's upset or crying she loves to be alone and I would let her be alone until she wants to come to me and talk to me. While she was resting I decided to be in the living room and sat on the couch. I picked up book from the living room table and decided to read that.

"You've been reading?" I heard Emily asked

I looked up to see she's wrapping herself around with the small blanket that she has. Once we moved to this apartment we made a pile of what we wanted at the apartment and what we didn't want. Emily wanted this specific blanket that she got when she was a child from her mother. I thought it was cute even though it's kind of small for her.

"Yeah. How long was I was out?" I asked her as she walked over to me

I closed the book and put it back on the coffee table. Emily immediately sat on my lap.

"Probably about 5 minutes. I tried to call you but you were into the book and I couldn't help but stare at you while you were reading" she said as she blushed a little

"Was someone staring at me?" I asked with a smirk on my face

"No" she said shyly and I smiled

"I think someone was" I told her

"I mean how you sit like this and reading I mean who wouldn't look at you" she said and I chuckled

"So, are you saying I'm handsome?" I asked her

"Maybe" she said and I chuckled

"How are you feeling?" I asked her

"Okay. I know my mother doesn't want me to be sad the whole time" she said and I smiled at her

"I know she doesn't want you to be sad and I don't want you to be sad either" I told her and she smiled "Do you want to take a bath?" I asked her

"Both of us?" she asked

We still haven't had sex which I'm getting frustrated at this point. I haven't had sex with someone for like 2 months now. I'm just waiting for Emily getting ready to do it but we do take showers and baths together even though we don't do anything.

"I'm down if you are" I told her

"Yes I am" she said

"Alright let's go" I told her
