White Liar

"Great shoot today Emily. See you tomorrow. 9am Sharp."

I smile. Bye "Lisa."

I walk out the warehouse to my car. It's been 5 days since I left California. To be totally honest I feel so much better out here.

I feel like I can breathe. I don't feel like I'm suffocating. I haven't really spoken to anyone. I been really busy. This is probably the first day that I finish early.

I unlock my apartment door. Stepping in. When I first go back. I made sure that the I got a new bed. I didn't want any memories of what happened between me and Alex.

I set my purse on the kitchen counter. I look down at the ring Jason gave me the night before we left Miami.

Flash Back:

"This is so relaxing." I sigh looking up at the stars. Leaning the back more as my backside presses against Jason's front.

"Yeah." Jason agrees. He turns me around cupping my face with both hands. "Emily. " He sighs. "Baby girl. I-I. You mean so to me. Everything about you drives me crazy. The way your noes scrunches up in the cutest way when you laugh. The way you smile making your eyes glow. How cute you look when you catch a little attitude with me. I love you. You complete me. Making me feel whole again. Four years ago when I first saw you in the hallway. I never thought I would actually be dating you. We been to hell and back with each other and through that we still stand here today. I'm still able to kiss your lips. Tell you i love you. Have you in my arms each night. Words can't explain how grateful I am to have you be my side. I'm so proud to call you mine." He pause digging in his pocket pulling out an red box. My breath catches in my throat. "I want you to know the mistakes I did in the past was the worst things that I ever could do. And I couldn't picture my life with  anybody else. I'm so whipped / sprung whatever you wanna call it. I'm crazy about you baby." He opens the box. Its an  ring with an one big
Diamond and two on each side. I knew it wasn't an engagement ring. "I know your not ready for engagements and weddings so take this a promise ring that no matter what you will always love me. You promise to be honest and loyal. And we'll wait till the time is right. For all that. " he stops talking.

I look down at the ring. "Of course baby." I say a joyful tear sliding down my cheek.  He slides the ring on. He kisses me with so much love and passion. "I love you too."

He smiles kissing me again picking me up walking us back into the room.

I sigh opening the fridge grabbing the grapes.  I hear my phone going off in my purse I look at it debating if I wanna answer it or not.

I jump off the counter getting my phone. It was Jason calling me. I answer it speaking on speaker.

"Hello."

"Hey. How are you?" It's quiet in his background so he's obviously not at home.

"Good. My apartment's kinda of gloomy. I'm all alone." I walk to the living room. I also got a new couch.

"I can come out there if you want." He says after a few seconds.

"Will your coach let you do that?"

"I'll just say its an family emergency. Plus I need to get away these kids driving me crazy."

I giggle. They are bad as hell. "Well I want to you come."

"I'll ask him tomorrow after practice." He pause. "What you do today?"

"I did an shoot. I had to do an summer date night type of clothing then the bikini. If you and when you do come then I'll show you. They're on my computer."
