Numb

chapter 10

After the kiss me and Emerson were pretty in separable. We fell in love, hard and fast. She still wouldn't let me be her boyfriend because of her 'commitment issues', but i knew she loved me by the way she looked at me. It was the same way i looked at her.

A month passed, Emerson and i had been hanging out, kissing and flirting, she finally agreed to coming over to my house for the night as mum was working a night shift and wouldn't be home until lunchtime the following day.

It was mine and Emersons first night together so i knew i had to make it special.

I had a plan already thought up in my head. i had a fairly decent sized backyard with a lot of little trees surrounding the atmosphere,so my plan would work perfectly

It was finally the end of the day and i could feel the nerves and the anticipation rise in the pit of my stomach.

As soon as i walked in my front door i got to work because i knew Emerson would be here in a few hours.

I made my way to the attic and took down a big box with all our christmas decorations in as well as our camping gear, which we never used any of these things but my mum liked to keep them for 'just in case' which at that moment in time im glad she did.

I went out back and started setting up the 2 man tent which surprisingly only took me about 10 minutes. I layed down a double sized mattress and filled it with loads of pillows i found lying around the house and multiple fluffy blankets.

Once i was satisfied with our sleeping arrangements i moved on to setting up the back yard.

I un-taggled all of our old christmas lights separating the ones that work and the ones that don't. I took a hole bunch of the lights that still worked and hanged them around the trees surrounding the tent.

I would be lying if i said i wasn't pretty chuffed with my efforts. It looked awesome and i wasn't going to deny that.

I scurried inside and into my bedroom. I downloaded a lot of new release action movies as well as some girly sappy shit for Emerson on my laptop.

While i waited for our entertainment to download i jumped in for a quick shower to freshen up.

Once i was clean i chucked on a plain black botton down shirt with blue jeans.

As i went over to check the movies i heard a knock on the door.

"cooominnnggg"

I quickly grabbed my laptop and placed it in the tent before fixing my hair and opening the door.

Of coarse my girl looked stunning as ever. She was wearing a baby blue tight dress with a loose knitted cardigan thrown over her shoulders. Her hair was curled and placed neatly over her shoulders. And i couldn't keep my eyes off her.

Emersons voice startles me out of my daze when she says,

"Do you want to invite me in or do you want to stare some more"

"Stare some more" i say with a grin as Emerson grins back then playfully hits me in the arm before walking past me and into my home.

"Well welcome to my humble abode" I say while Emerson looks around with a massive smile.

"Its nice, i like it a lot"

I lean into her and give her a peck on the cheek while grabbing her bag and placing it in my room.

After i took her bag to my room i came back out and grabbed her hand to lead her out to my back yard.

I lead her out and hear a massive gasp escape from her lips.I look over to her perfect face and examen all her stunning features as she takes in everything i have done for her.

She stands still for a moment until a tear drips from her eye, before it can hit her check i reach my hand out and catch her tear.

"Babe whats up" I say with real concern.

"sorry its just that- that no one has ever done anything like this for me before" She cries as more tears drip from her eyes down her beautiful face.

I take her in my arms and hug her so hard like its the last hug i would ever give her and she whispers in my ear.

"thankyou"
