The difference between Bows and Glasses

Chapter 9

~EMMA'S POV~
All I could think about was the person I became in 8th grade. I can't be that way agian. I had to find some way to put that picture out of my mind. So I went to the mall. The mall is like a secound home to me. I decided to invite Holly. She agreed to meet me. We met in front of the large building. "Hey Holly." I said. "Hey girly. How have you been. I haven't seen you in awhile." She said smacking her gum in her mouth. "Well, that's a story for another time." I said with a laugh we went in and headed straight for Charlotte Rousse. Our favorite store in the world. I found a top with nerd glasses on it. It reminded me of James, and how amazing he is. I decided to buy it. Holly bought an emoji shirt. It was so cute! We left the mall with 3 bags on each arm and Starbucks in our hands. We are kinda typical white girls. We said our goodbyes and I packed all of our bags in the car. I was driving home when I noticed James' car was in my garage. I had a puzzled look on my face when I walked in. He was standing in my living room with flowers, popcorn, and he was wearing pajamas. "It's movie night!" He said with a smile. "What are we watching?" I said confused. "if i stay" he said. My face lighted up. I have been dying to see that movie! He put the disc in while I went to go change into some pajamas. We sat on the couch and the movie got started. He put his muscular arm around me and I couldn't help but put my head on his shoulder. This was amazing. He was amazing. I love him. He completed me. I fell asleep with him right there next to me. He didn't know how much I thought about him. How much I cared for him. How much I needed him. I was half awake when the movie was over. I looked up at him and kissed his cheek. "Goodnight." I said "Night " he said with a smirk. Then we both fell asleep.
~JAME'S POV~
I had finally bought by own car. Emma drove me to a car lot and I picked one out and bought it. I absolutely love not depending on someone to take me to school. I drove to the store and decided that I would surprise Emma with a movie night so I picked the stupidest, girliest, most guessable movie possible. No offense to the movie, but I'm just not into girly movies. I grabbed, If I Stay, and threw it in the shopping cart and then went to an isle full of popcorn. I grabbed kettle corn and movie butter. Then I decided that I had enough so I bought it and left. I started to drive towards Emma's house when thoughts clouded my mind. 'Am I really in love with her? I mean I've only known her for a little while. Plus she is practically embarrassed of me. At the same time she said that she loves me. Our relationship is purely toxic. I can't even hold her hand in front of people and then she says she loves me? How do you tell someone you love them after you tell them that they came onto you after SHE kissed you?' I let out a breath and wiped the thoughts from my head. Tonight is going to be a good night. I pulled into her driveway and was surprised to see she wasn't home. I pulled into her garage which she she had stupidly left open and tried my best to open the door. Great it was locked. Out of frustration I slammed my shoulder into the door and it flew open. I peeked my head inside and when I was greeted by no one I decided to walk in. I placed the presents on her couch and walked to what I could tell was her bathroom. It was pink and had two mirrors across from one another. The counter was full of what I could only guess was torture devices. There was a weird cylinder shaped one and it said curl-o-matic on the side. Maybe she curls her hair with this? I touch it and it is flesh burningly hot. "Dammit!" I pull my hand away and unplug the hostile device. I hear a car pulling in so I practically jump out of my clothes and jump into the pajamas before bolting down stairs and grabbing the gifts. I try to hide my heavy breathing as Emma walks in. I smile wide and she excepts the gifts.
~during the movie~
One little thought buzzed in my head. Am I truly in love with this girl that is effortlessly beautiful? That is in love with me without command or manipulation? Yes. There is no way that I couldn't be. The credits start rolling and I can hear Emma's breath is lighter and filled with peace so I gently pick her up. I try my best to balance and kick the remote off of a table and onto the ground. I step on the off button and slowly climb the stairs. She clings to me and I blush. For a light girl it's pretty hard to carry her upstairs. When I make it to her room I lay her down. I slowly try to exit when I hear a faint voice. "Stay with me because you're all I need." Emma's voice was beautiful. Even with a sleepy tone her voice was angelic maybe even more so. I smiled and climbed into bed beside her and kissed her on her forehead
