~chapter 45~
Shawn POV
I was in bed when I checked the time, 11:23pm.
I go to my messages and text Emily.
Hey bae. 😘
I go on twitter for a few minutes until she responds.
Hola amigo 👋 COMO estas?
I giggled at her humor and responded instantly.
Bueno. I don't know anymore Spanish so let's go back to English. Haha
I watch the bubble with three dots pop up and I wait to see the message.
Okay. So do you miss me?
I missed her terribly. I haven't seen her in weeks and I miss her. She's my girlfriend.
Of course. I'll come and see you soon. Promise 👌
We promised everything. From keeping secrets to buying food.
She replies a few minutes later.
Don't bother.
I froze. Did I get her pissed? I thought about how I should reply.
I promised. And I never break promises.
The message bubble pops up right after it sent.
Go open your room door.
I kept a confused look on my face and walked up to the door. I twisted the knob and opened it. There was nothing. I looked to the right until I see a figure.
I decipher the familiar person and realize.
"EMILY!" I scream as she runs towards me.
I run closer towards her until we meet in the middle. I wrap my arms around her delicate body as she lays her head on my chest (she's not that tall).
Minutes pass, we let go, and hold hands.
We walk to my hotel room and we begin to talk.
"Who? What? Where? When? Why?" I ask.
"Me. I flew in to see you. In New Jersey. At 11:30pm on April 13th. Because I love you." She responds.
I pull her in for a hug. This is embarrassing but we never kissed. I don't know why but we want it to be special, memorable.
We talk for hours and cuddle in bed as we stare at the ceilings.
She went to sleep on me. I touched her curly, light brown hair and laid my head on hers.
The next morning I wake up and find Emily still sleeping.
I slowly detach her body from mine and walk into the bathroom.
As I was brushing my teeth, I thought of an idea. I wanted tonight to be special.
After I finished I called the hotel to find out their special arrangements for dinners and occasions.
As the guy told me the options, one caught my attention.
"Sir," I interrupted him. "I would like the moonlight dinner."
**********
I checked the time: 7:36
I fixed the collar of my button up and dusted off my khakis.
I take a look at my hair one last time and headed towards the lobby where I was meeting Emily.
After 10 minutes of waiting, she arrived.
She walked up to me in a lace black dress that fit her form. I watched her nude color pumps click towards me.
A worker named Issac led us to a meadow. On the meadow was a table lot with candles and decorated with flowers.
We walked up to it and admired the set up.
Tonight was going to be the best night ever.
