You Have No Idea | e.b.

               Waiting for the guys to get back was the hardest part of every tour. Two more days is all I had to wait to hug the love of my life. I had nothing to do with myself, I had done all the laundry there was to do. I swept, mopped and vacuumed and fed the pups. I decided to go into Emerson's room and clean a bit. I would never dare to go into the other boys' rooms, just the thought of it caused a chill to run down my spine. "At least I know what goes on in Em's room." I thought aloud as I turned off the tv.  

             Emerson's room was full of drawings, hats, old clothes and a variety of makeup. I start with the makeup, taking it into the bathroom and placing everything carefully on the counter around the sink. While I'm in there, I go ahead and wipe the sink down and mop in there. Going back into Emerson's room, I start picking up his drawings, putting them in order by height and I put his pens and sharpies in the cup on his desk. The sharpies that don't fit, I put in his top nightstand drawer and go to shut the drawer back but it got caught on something. I look closer and notice a small, velvet box and pick it up.

          I stare at the container in my hand for a moment before taking a deep breath and opening it. Inside was a gorgeous ring. A small diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds. I gasp and cover my mouth, tears welling up in my eyes. I smile softly and close the box, putting it back in Emerson's top nightstand drawer and deciding not to bring it up until he does. I go about cleaning up Em's room, hanging up coats and hats. I finish an hour later and go back to the living room, picking up my phone that says I missed a call from Emerson. Leaning against the arm of the couch and quickly pressing call back, Emerson picks up after a couple rings. 

       "Hey, beautiful. What are you doing?" His voice brings a wide smile to my face. "Well, I'm really bored." I say as I lounge on the couch. "That should change soon. I should be having something delivered for you today and I ned you to go see if it was left in front of the door." Emerson tells me, a smile evident. I furrow my brow in confusion as I stand from the arm of the couch. "Okay... What is it?" I ask as I make my way to the door. "You'll see. Just open the door, don't look through the peephole." He tells me just as I reach from knob of the front door.

       Opening the door reveals Emerson, smiling beautifully back at me. I squeal and drop my phone, throwing my arms around his neck. He chuckles and embraces me tightly, stroking my hair. "You have no idea how much I missed you, baby." He pulled back and pushed my hair behind my ears, holding my face in his hands. "I missed you so much, Em." My hands rested on his chest as he places his lips on mine before pulling away with a smile. A look of sudden realization crossed his face, "Oh, hey, I have an actual surprise for you." Emerson grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.

       "What is it? The other guys?" I snort at my own joke. "No," he deadpans "but they are on their way home." He continues as he pulls me into his room. "Why are you home early?" I ask him as I sit on his bed. "The last venue got rained out so I came earlier than the others so we could be left alone for once." He smiled at me as he put the last of his dirty clothes in the hamper.  I smiled up at Emerson as he put his hat on the wall. "I tried playing the Wii while you were away but it's not as much as it is when everyone's playing." I tell him, standing and following him to the living room. "Maybe it just seems less fun because of whose playing it." Emerson smirks at me over his shoulder.

       we sat on the couch and I watched emerson bowl a terrible game."What's up bitches?! I'm home!" We hear Sebastian's voice pierce through our laughter. "Why the fuck-" Emerson was cut off by Remington entering the house "Hey sluts!" He yells. "Hey! What the wholeass fuck are you doing home?" I yell at them as they trot up the stairs with their backpacks.  "Our venue cancelled!" Rem yelled from his room upstairs. I looked at the Emerson, "I didn't realize they were so close behind you." I told him "Yeah, me either." He rolled his eyes. 

      Everyone got settled into the house and were all sitting in the living room as I cooked dinner, Remington was dancing around to some music Sebastian had going. Emerson was in his room for something and comes out, rounding the corner with his hand behind his back. "Guys," he gets everyone's attention but mine "babe, you too." I turn and look at him. emerson is down on one knee. "Em, wha-" Emerson cuts me off "Listen to me, you've been here for me and been my rock for some time now. It only feels right to ask you this, here and now, with everyone I love in the same room. So," he takes a very deep breath and continues "will you marry me?" Emerson looks up at me with the softest smile. Tears well in  my eyes and a few fall as the only thing I can manage to do is nod my head. Emerson stands and slips the ring on my finger, pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. 

      Rachel walks into the kitchen with us and pulls me away from Emerson, smiling at me with tears in her eyes, "Welcome to the family, baby." She tells me. Tears are in my eyes all over again as she wraps her arms around my shoulders in a hug.
