strangers in love

chapter 28

OWENS POV
Today I was surprising Amelia. I told her I wouldn't be back from my moms house until tomorrow but I'm going to surprise her today. I had texted Emma to make sure Amelia would be home when I came. I was driving up the parkway and my phone rang and it was Amelia. I answered and smiled.
"Hey you," I said.
"Hey," She said cutely.
"So how's it going?" I asked, meaning when she told the kids we were dating.
"Good," She said, "Izzy came around and Joey said you're cool so I think we're good."
"Alright," I chuckled.
"I miss you," She said, "when are you coming back?"
"Tomorrow," I lied.
"Okay," she pouted.
"I miss your cute face," I said.
"And I miss yours," she said. I pulled into her driveway and she had no idea.
"Hey I gotta go my moms calling me," I said.
"Okay," She said, "bye."
"Bye," I said. I walked up to her doorstep and knocked on her door. I told Emma to make Amelia open the door. She opened the door and when her eyes met mine her mouth dropped.
"Oh my god," she said happily, "what? I thought you were supposed to be back tomorrow?"
"Well surprise I'm a good liar," I chuckled and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I held her waist as I kissed her softly.
"I love you," She said.
"And I love you," I said. I pulled her close and hugged her tightly.
"I missed your cute face," she giggled and kissed me again.
"And i missed your beautiful face," I said. She blushed and I pecked her lips softly.
"What are you doing tonight?" She asked.
"Nothing," I chuckled.
"You wanna go out?" She asked.
"Yeah," I smiled.
"It's a date," she said cutely.
"It is," I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Mom!" Emma called from the other room. Amelia chuckled and I let go of her and followed her into the other room.
AMELIAS POV
Owens so sweet he surprised me. Emma called me from the other room and I walked over and her and Joey were fighting.
"Mom can you tell him it's my turn with the TV!" She said.
"Joey you've been using it all afternoon," I said, "Let Emma watch her show."
"But I was here first!" Joey said, "she has a chrome book!"
"Joey," I said.
"Fine," he pouted and gave her the remote.
"Thank you," I chuckled.
"Hi Owen," Joey said.
"Hey," he said. I walked into the kitchen and Owen followed me.
"So how was your moms?" I asked.
"It was good," he said, "she wants to meet you very badly."
"Well I want to meet her too," I said. He smiled.
"So how has it been here?" He asked.
"Uh pretty good," I said, "but I haven't exactly told them."
"Well when you're ready," he said.
"But I don't think I'll ever be ready," I said.
"You will be," He said.
"They're just- they're just my little babies, I don't want them to know," I said.
"I know," he frowned, "but it'll all be okay."
"Yeah," I said. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
"It'll all be okay," he said again.
