Moving On *Completed*

Chapter 89-...Two Steps Back

Emily Pov

It's been two weeks since I moved in and I have not slept well since my first night. Since then, it seems as though everyone is either avoiding me or they are walking on egg shells with me.

I said I was going to fight for them and that is what I am going to do. I sing along to New Day by Patti La Belle and Watch Me Work by Melanie Fiona as I get out of the huge soaker tub and dry off. A plan starts forming in my head as I wipe the steam off the mirror.

I text Annie and Alec about my plan and they both said they will help and support me. Smiling to myself. I notice my bruises and cuts are gone so I don't look to bad now. I put on my matching gray boy shorts with purple lace around the edges and my matching gray push up bra with purple lace around the cups and a purple bow in the center.

Feeling confident, sexy and ready to start the day I put on my matching gray and purple robe and walk out of the bathroom. Walking into the bedroom I remember my first day here. I had come out of the bathroom wearing this outfit and I saw Owen sitting a tray with bacon, scrambled eggs and toast, with hot tea and orange juice on the dresser. Sean was leaving a note and my pain meds by my bed.

"Good Morning Gentlemen."

They turned around and I felt their eyes roaming my body and myself responding. I walked over to the tray and stood in front of Owen, took a piece of bacon and moaned as the taste reminded me I had not eaten real food in a while.

I hear Sean whisper "Oh, it's a good morning now."

"Good Morning indeed." retorted Owen. He had cleared his throat and continued "How are you?" I opened my eyes and saw Owen's eyes. All I could think about was what it was like to sleep with the both of them and how I felt.

"I am feeling better. How are you both?"

"Oh, I am fine, now that my heart has started beating again." Sean smiled, with a flirtatious look in his eyes.

"Sean!"

"What! You have to admit the colors look good on Emily and we were both struck speechless by her."

"That may be the case, but Emily is a grown woman who deserves respect."

As Sean rolled his eyes at him, Owen continued. "We have to leave to handle some business for the Academy. Everyone has already left but us. Will you be alright by yourself today?"

"Yes, of course. Go ahead. I have some calls to make and some work to catch up on. I will be fine. I just wish I could have wished everyone goodbye."

"Don't worry about it. You can welcome them home. Don't work too hard. You still need to take it easy for the next day or two. Doctor's orders."

"Help yourself to anything here and we will be back as soon as we can."

"Anything here, huh?" I say to Owen with my eyebrow raised and he raised his eyebrow in return at me.

"Alright. Just remember you said that."

"Oh, there is a lot to remember about this morning. Trust me Emily."

"If you two are done, we need to go."

"Thanks for breakfast, Owen. You guys have fun and I promise I will take it easy."

"Good. Now that has been settled, can we have a hug before we go?"

"You just want to feel me in my robe. You are not slick Sean."

"No, but I bet that robe is."

"Sean!"

"Forgive him, he was dropped on his head as a child."
