Chapter 6 - Emma's pov.

Just imagine that Christmas has yet  to come :)

"No mum, I'm not coming home for Christmas." I said annoyed. "No mum, I'm not gonna celebrate alone" "No mum, I won't get drunk"

God. That woman can be so annoying at times. I'm not a little girl anymore that she needs to check on every 5 minutes.

The doorbell rang so I rushed to the door. I was greeted by a smiling Safira with a ridiculous red Christmas hat. Oh boy.

She walked towards me and gave me a warm hug. "I'm so exited! I got so many good ideas but what if they don't like it? And that new girlfriend of Simon is a snobby bitch I don't want to get her a present but he's our friend so we should get her something, thought. And how about you? What are you going to give me? Or you know what, don't tell me. It has to be a surprise. And.." I laughed at her enthusiasm. "Slow down Santa. Come in and sit down on the sofa. Drink some tea while I get my purse and finish my make up. I have so much to tell you!"

The bathroom was still cold when I went inside - I really need to fix that soon. As fast as I could, I applied some make up - don't need to impress anyone so I don't mind actually if it looks crappy. My purse laid on the bedside table next to my phone. I grabbed both without taking notice of the message on the screen.

"Let's go, shall we?" Safira turned around and frowned at me. "Emma, your mother called. 3 times. What's going on?" Nothing, she thinks I'm a helpless teenager that needs extra care and she's lonely so she calls every day. "Oh nothing, she just wanted to know what I want for Christmas, that's all."

Safira eyed me unconsciously but then shrugged it off. I guess, she has other problems than an over motherly mother. We made our ways to the door and put our shoes on. First I wanted to wear my heels but then I took a look at Sarira's shoes and decided different. She just wore her sneakers, so I guess UGG boots would also do it for now.

Yey Yey yipi yay yeah. That's what my face said. Then there's my brain. I hate life. Go away. Don't touch me. Yeah.. Tha's so typical me. I just hate to tell people that they're annoying or something. I don't want them to feel bad because of me. It makes me feel like an utter bitch - just like that Starbucks girl from a few days ago. How can someone be so rude and ugly? Like what do you think every morning when you look in the mirror? "I look perfect but with a ton make up on my face I will look even better"?

"Emma are you even listening?" Safira looked rather pissed at me as she held up some random red shirt. I shook my head no vaguely. "Come on Emma what's wrong? We're here for about 3 hours now, and all you did was stay quiet and look right through me." Her voice became louder and higher with every word.

Wow slow down mum. Then again, I kinda feel bad. She knows nothing about Zayn and what had happened the last 5 days. Out of no where I felt like hugging here, so that's exactly what I did. She stood still and looked shocked but then her face softened and she slung her arms around her. We received some weird looks from people that walked by but actually I don't give a fuck. "I'm sorry Safira, I really am. I think I have to tell you something." I mumbled into her shoulder.

She stiffened and pushed me away from her. "What's wrong? Tell me, I'm your best friend, aren't I?" I inhaled deeply, took her hand and guided her towards a bench.

"Okay.. Maybe I'm being a little over dramatic and everything but still.. I met a guy. " Safira immediately began to squeal and smiled big. "Are you kidding me? I thought it was something bad. You scared the shit out of me! You have to tell me everything! What's his name? How old is he? Is he hot? Where.."

"Okay, Okay relax," I interrupted her and sat up straight. "His name is Zayn, he is 24 and he is definitely not bad looking. His eyes are hazelnut brown but a little bit darker, he is tan and his muscles.. Ughh." My smile grew wider and with it Safira's eyes. "He's a teacher - I think an English one but I'm not quite sure and we went on a date at Starbucks- it's actually a quite funny story but i'll tell you later."

She hugged me tight and squeeled. "This is so exiting! I haven't seen you dating in like what? 1 year? It's about time that you finally meet someone. How did you two meet each other? I mean if he's a teacher then I don't think you know each other from work or something?" "Well, that's actually quite a funny story too. I was at stoplight and didn't notice that it had turned green, so I got jostled by someone and fell but he cached me just before I was about to hit the ground. So yeah.." And with those word my phone started ringing.

Incoming call from Zayn.

My eyes widened and I wasn't able to to anything. Before I could react Safira had taken the phone out of my hands and pressed answer. "Hey Babe. I was just thinking of you" I heard his voice say through the speaker. Safira held her hand over her mouth and tried to cover up her giggle. Oh god this is so embarrassing. I felt my hole face go red.

With one swift motion I grabbed the phone out of her fingers and held it to my ear. "Hey. Actually, I thought of you too." My lips formed a smile as I looked Safira straight in the eyes. She lifted her eyebrows and gave me a smirk.

"Are you busy right now? Maybe we could like, go out or something" his husky voice said.

"Ehm right now is a bad moment, I'm buying Christmas presents. How about tomorrow?" I saw Safira shaking her head no furiously. I looked at her bluntly, not getting what she was trying to tell me. "Tomorrow sounds good." By now, Safira had her phone out and showed me her calender. Amy's birthday. I'm such an idiot. How could I forget that?

"Zayn you know, maybe tomorrow isn't that great. It just came to my mind that tomorrow I have to visit a friend of mine for her birthday. Saturday, maybe?" I heard him sight in disappointment. I'm a horrible person. "Okay, then Saturday it will be." I realized I was holding my breath and let it all out. Safira gave me a questioning look. I just shook her of with my hand in her face and continued listening to Zayn's breath. "I'm looking forward to it. See you there. And I'll text you later. Bye Love." He hushed into his mic.

I could imagine him right now, smirking to himself and still holding the phone against his ear.

I put my hand down and slowly looked at Safira. She glanced at me, waiting for me to talk. "I got another date!" "Sweetie I'm so happy for you. He seems like a nice guy to me. But now, let's get up and buy you a nice outfit for Saturday. We want you to look stunning for him!"
