"What's a Girl to do?" Future One Shots - Emison

Just another Rainy Day 2020

This is dedicated to jamia618. Thank you girl for all your support and encouraging words. It was because of you and that shout out you gave me on your wattpad story that started me out with so many dedicated readers. I know I already told you thank you for that but... I felt like giving you this one-shot you asked for would be better. Of course this has a little bit of my own twist to it. Hope this was what you were asking for!

This keeps in my universe of "What's a girl to do? An Emison story." Five years later future engaged Emison on a rainy day...

Enjoy!

"Hmmm..." I hum as blink open my eyes, trying my best to get the sleep out. I can't help but yawn as I stretch my arms above my head, still lying in our queen size bed, my hair sprawled all over the place. I can't help but snuggle into our comforter wrapping it tightly around me trying my best to keep warm. I lift my head and look to the bathroom, still being half asleep and I hear the sweetest voice ever softly singing in the shower. I can't help it as a hug grin graces my lips, she's so adorable. I then turn my head to my left were the window is and I hear the rain coming down hard. I notice how gloomy and dark it looks outside. My smile fades as I look at the clock. "Ugh..." I have my morning class in an hour and half and then work at 12:30pm.

"Emmy baby... it's time to wake up. You've got class in about an hour." I hear Ali call to me from our small... very small master bathroom.

We've been living here in this two bedroom condo for the last three years. It's small but it's ours. We were able to lease out this space after I got my first 'real' job here in Cali. The first year was a little hard on us. We were still under our parents control as Mr. D was the one who paid most of our rent and utility bills. Ali had a part-time job at Macy's and I worked for a well-known bank for a short period of time while we both went full time to college. Then by luck, I was able to get a great job at a utility company. It wasn't the ideal job but it paid very well. I started working there full time and went to school part-time till it dwindled down to one class a semester. I don't regret it. It allowed both of us to lease out this space and be independent from our parents financially.

"Em... baby. Didn't you hear me calling you from the restroom?" Ali says as she stands in front of me in her bath robe, drying her hair with her towel. Her wet golden locks cascading down her neck and shoulders. Her features have changed slightly. She's older but more stunning than ever. She's loss some of her baby weight and her cheeks are more defined. She's no longer a girl... she's a woman. God... she's beautiful.

"Emmy..." Ali pouts, while sticking out her lower lip. "Are you paying attention to me?"

"Yes baby. I'm just admiring how beautiful you are." I smile at her as she walks closer to me on my side of the bed. I sit up welcoming her with open arms.

"You're going to be late. You better get into the shower. I'll make you breakfast and get your lunch ready before you head off to class babe." She leans in and pecks my lips softly.

"Yes love." I pull her in closer to me burying my face into her neck. Lightly kissing it, just wanting to be closer to her.

"Get up... Now." She orders, lightly hitting my shoulders playfully and leaves me as she walks over to her side of the bed and put on her lotion and then her engagement ring. She tries her best to admire it in secret as I get up and go to our closet to get my clothes ready. I can see her out of the corner of my eyes. She's holding out her left hand slightly wiggling her fingers looking at it shine in the light. Her face is in complete awe of it and she looks so happy.

I asked her to marry me 6 weeks ago. I had been wanting to do it since high school but this was perfect timing for us. Ali was in her final year of college about to graduate. I was doing well in my job and we were finally finically stable, with plenty of money in the bank. I had been saving money for years, knowing the day would come that I'd marry this beautiful woman. When I finally decided to do it, I immediately called our best friend and went straight to the jewelry story and paid cash for the ring. With a little help from Hanna I picked out one of the most beautiful rings out there. I knew I wanted Ali to love it. She'd be wearing this for the rest of our lives, if I had anything to say about it.
