Brides To Be

The Next Day

"EJ, come on. You can come to my place." Natalie said. She took Emma's hand and kissed it softly. She handed EJ her helmet and got out her spare from her trunk, which really just a cooler strapped to the back of the bike.
"We should not have done that." Emma said, putting the helmet on.
"What else would we do?" Natalie said as she got on her bike. "Hope on, love." Emma Jane got on the motorcycle and grabbed Nat around her waist.
"We could have ran away to get married." She suggested. Nat shook her head.
"You could never survive without your family." She started the engine and pulled out of the driveway just as the yells from the backyard were loud enough to hear.

EJ woke up the next day next to Nat. She was still sleeping, her face calm, her hair a mess, but she was still beautiful. EJ kissed her forehead and got out of bed as quietly as she could. She slipped on a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt and headed towards the kitchen. She looked in the fridge, hoping to find some breakfast. But all her fiance had was Chinese take-out leftovers.
Emma checked the pantries and found hot fudge sundae poptarts. She grabbed a pack and plopped on the couch and switched the television on. She watched a few episodes of Say Yes To The Dress when Natalie came out.
"Morning, sleeping beauty." Emma said. Natalie just groaned. She was NOT a morning person. Natalie sat next to Emma and leaned on her shoulder.
"Do you have to work today?" Nat asked.
"No, it's Sunday. Besides, I don't think I would be able to. All my clothes are at mine and Kate's apartment and I don't think I'm ready to face that mess again." As if waiting for her cue, the doorbell rang. It was Kate.
