CHAPTER 10- EMMA...

                                                              FLORA'S P.O.V

My phone made a signal that I had a new message when I was putting my black flats on to match my black jeans and my red top with black stripes on it. When I had tried to reach for my phone while putting on my shoes did cause me to fall but thankfully no injuries. I checked my phone and saw that it was from Noah.

7:57pm, Noah: Hey, I’m outside are you ready?

7:58pm, Flora: Just a minute.

He didn’t reply after that so I put on my black jacket, got my bag and headed towards the living room to tell my mum that I was going.

 Bye Mum.

“Bye sweetie, have a nice day!” She winked at me causing me to blush because she knew of Noah taking me to the coffee shop today after school and she thinks he’s going to ask me out. I don’t want to get my hopes up but I really hope that he is. I waved at her one last time and head out the door and to my surprise he wasn’t on his scooter but instead in a car. I walked towards the car and opened door of the passenger side when I noticed a girl a few years younger than me sitting in the back. I raised my eyebrows in curiosity while sitting my self in the passenger seat.

Noah immediately grinned when he saw me and I grinned back.

Hey. He signed.

Hi. I signed back.

He looked at the back seat towards the girl and lifted his eyebrows waiting for her to introduce her self and I looked back as well, curious to know who she was.

“Hi, I'm Emma!” She practically screamed while grinning like a mad man, which made me cringe. “I’m Noah’s sister.” So she’s Noah’s sister, he had told me about his siblings so I wasn’t that too shocked and I knew that they all knew sign language as well, which made everything easier.

Hey! I’m Flora. I signed at her while grinning.

“Oh I know! Noah never shuts up about you.” I smirked and slightly blushed while looking towards him, which caused him to look suspicious as soon as he saw my face.

What is she saying? He asked.

Nothing. I signed back still smirking.

Whatever. He huffed, turning around to start the car.

“He’s going to drop me off today and pick me up after school because my dad has the flu and my mum is home looking after him.” I looked back at Emma and nodded in understanding.

Hope he gets well quickly. I told her

“Thank you!” She beamed at me and I loved her already.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 We had just dropped Emma home when she came running out the door before we can even drive away. She opened the back door and literally threw herself inside.

“Please take me with you!” She begged.

What happened? I asked.

Apparently my dad wasn't sick after all.... She trailed off while using sign language so that Noah could understand as well. An confused look crossed Noah’s face and then one of disgust.

We’re still not used to them being that loved up. He signed explaining to me and I did everything to not cry just remembering how my parents use to act towards each other. Instead of crying though I smiled nodded in understanding.

But no you can’t come. Noah said.

Noah!

What? He asked me.

Let her come. I signed back and frowned.

Fine. He replied reluctantly

Yay! I clapped my hands while Emma did also and we grinned at each other while Noah glared at Emma. I lightly hit his arm to make him look at me.

Stop it.

Fine. He said and started the car and drove us to the coffee shop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Half an hour later we were seated at the same table as last time but this time with Noah across me and Emma to my right and our coffee’s in our hands.

Emma why don’t you go get Flora and I a piece of cake each and get your self one as well? He signed at her while giving her a 20-dollar note.

Okay! She beamed and got up heading towards the long line.

I looked up from my coffee to find Noah already looking at me and blushed and looked down again but when he covered my hand with his that was on the table I immediately looked back up an gave him questioning look and when he started to speak I was in heaven.

“I-I  h-h-a-v-v-e  t-t-o  a-a-s-k  y-y-o-u-u  s-s-o-o-m-m-e-t-t-h-i-i-n-n-g-g” He said his voice rising and lowering at every different word. I wasn’t that shocked to be honest considering that he had talked before but maybe my mum was right, maybe he is going to ask me something important.

Okay, go on! I beamed at him.

“W-w-w-o-o-u-u-l-d  y-y-o-o-u-u  g-g-o  o-o-n  a-a  d-d-a-a-t-e  w-w-i-t-h  m-m-e-e?” He asked and I stared at him wide eyed.

YES! I would be shouting if I could talk and that made me think, Noah is trying very hard and maybe I can too.

When? I asked him.

“T-t-h-i-i-s S-s-a-a-t-t-u-r-d-d-a-a-y-y.” Today was Wednesday so 3 days later.

Okay. I replied while grinning at each other goofily.

Emma came back and put our cakes on the table.

What did I miss? She asked while sitting down on her chair. I just turned back to Noah and blushed looking down.
