Emily's POV

"Excuse me miss, could I have an ice-tea and creamy cappuccino please"

"Yes sir, ill get it right away".

Part time at Whiskers, the only café in town, during the weekends are tiring. I get to reach home only at around 12:00am and I don't get any extra payment.. Well, That is kind of my fault. You see, our manager Vincent is the most loved person in this town, known for his concern and helping nature, But on the other end, he is this gossip-maniac who pyres into other's lives and makes sure that the entire town knows about it. And that's exactly the kind of people I stay away from. He still calls me " new girl" because theres nothing he knows about me and that gets to his skin and he doesn't fire me because he takes me as a challenge. Crazy man, seriously!

And besides Its not like I'm in debt , I'm just saving money,which I think is good for both for me and my baby.. I just need to get over with this senior year and find a new place to live, and maybe ill take Mrs Clarke along with me.

"Heres your order,That will be 25 dollars sir. Thank you".

"Give me my regular,woman".

I dint have to look up to know that its Michael. Why god why?

" Emily, grow up, you cant always keep running away from me".he snapped.

Well, I gotta run away Michael, that's how its always been.

Before I could turn away, he caught my hand,and pulled me close.

" We need to talk woman. Its now or never".

"Well look, its lover boy and new girl, why don't you guys go get a room, you see I have a café to run" sneered in Vincent.

But Michael didn't care, he pulled me along with him, outside the café.

" Michael let go. I got a job to do".

" But before that you need to answer me, woman. Why on earth are you ignoring me? Im sorry that it spread around quick, it wasn't my fault..

" I know it was sheila" I cut him through.

" Then what is it? Are you annoyed that I feel this way about you, if that's the case then I'm sorry. You should have just said that you don't  feel the same and moved on. Because ignoring me hurt worse,woman".

" I..i don't.. Its not like that". Tears filled my eyes and I didn't want him to see it so I looked down.

"Im sorry that I ignored you, its just that...I'm confused...I ..i need time" my voice cracked.

I dont know why I'm even crying. I am pathetic. I just cant  say that i dont like him, because somewhere in the bottom of my heart, i did.

He came closer and pressed a kiss on my forehead, and hugged me tight.

" What is it emily?. What is it that your not telling me?. I want to be there for you just like how you were there for me, but you keep shutting me out. All you ever have to know is that no matter what, ill always be there by your side. And I can wait for you no matter how long it takes".

My heart couldn't take it, I cried as he held me tighter. The warmth and comfort was overwhelming, it felt like i was home.I wish I could believe him but its not possible. He knows nothing about me nor my past and they don't even know about my son nor on what I intend on doing in the future. How can I give my heart to someone when its already bestowed into pieces. Trust is a costly gift from me.

" I'm sorry Michael."was all that I could say.
