His Compagno for Eternity

Breathtaking

**-**

Emmy's P.O.V
"I love the air around us.Its so serene",I tell my best friend Gerald as we walk beside the road hand in hand.

"I love the air too but do you know what else I love?",his eyes twinkle with mischief as he leans closer.I ran away with all my might.I giggle as I see him chasing me.He catches up with me and pulls me into a hug.

"Emmy you're burning,we need to get you home",he says with concern in his voice.
"It's just a fever,Gerald", i say and pull him along.

I drop myself into the coach as soon as am home.
Gerald told me his mom needs him so he'll come back later.
But aaaaargh,he made me drink my medicine before he left.
I'm so tired but I stink so I need to take my bath.
I ran up the stairs and enter my bedroom only to see my big brother,Carl roaming through my stuffs.

"Heyyy Carl,what do you want?",I ask puzzled.
"Erm I need a dress for my girlfriend,I kinda got a little rough so I tore hers and she has nothing to wear",he says and scratch the back of his neck.
I scrunch my nose in disgust as I realise what they were doing.
I look through my closet and pull a simple sundress out and hand it to him.
"Sis you're the best, I'll make it up to you yeah?",he says and walk out.
"Keep it PG",I yell after him and go to the bathroom after closing the door.
I strip out of clothes and take a quick bath.
I blow my hair dry with my hand dryer and tie it in a messy bun.

I wear my favourite short with a crop top and lie on my bed.
A sound escapes from my phone and I  grab it.

Gerald - Will you go for the party?You know summer break will be over soon.

Me-  Yeah I know.Will you come and pick me up if I say yes?

Gerald- Of course Princess,I'll pick you up.

Me-😂😂😂 Alright it's 4:30 now.I'll get ready by 7kk.

Gerald-Wear something hot 😉

Me- Spoilt brat.

We chat about random stuffs and I fall asleep.

.............
I wake up and realise it's 6:30pm.
Fuck,I overslept.
I rush to the bathroom and take a quick bath making sure my hair doesn't get wet.
I dry myself with my towel.
I sit in front of my vanity and apply make-up,eyeliner,mascara, blush and a red lipstick.
I go to my closet and pull out my red midthigh dress.
Gerald  got it for me on my birthday.

I smile as I look at myself in the mirror and realise my hair is still in a messy bun.
I take the hair band of my hair and leave it down.My long black hair cascade down my neck almost reaching my waist.I comb it and curl the ends to make it look presentable.

I grab my purse and I hear a knock downstairs.
Just in time,I say to myself as I wear my black heel.
I run down the staircase and trip.
I close my eyes waiting for the outcome but i never fell.
Gerald caught me.He holds my waist and studies me his eyes roaming over my body making me feel uncomfortable.I clear my throat.
"It's the dress that bad,should I change it?",I ask Gerald.
"It's absolutely gorgeous,you look ...... breathtaking",He says looking straight into my eyes.
I smile and say thank you.
"You're too clumsy you know that right?",he says and chuckle.
"Yh I nearly face planted the floor,but you'll always be there to catch me",I whisper and wink.

He entangle his fingers with mine and we walk to where his car is.
Toyota,the new model. He opens the door for me and I enter.He closes it and move around the car to sit at the driver's seat.

He starts the car and the engine roars to life.
I look at him and drink his outfit in.He's wearing a tuxedo with a red tie.It matches my dress,guess that's what happens when you grow with someone.We know everything about each other.
He concentrates on the road and I look at him.His sharp jaw,those blue eyes,his messy black hair,his full lips,that dimple,his cute nose ...

"You're drooling",he says and am pulled out of my trance.
I wipe my mouth and realise am not drooling.I smack his arm playful and blush.
He smirks 😏
"Emmy,I know am hot",he shrugs
"Whatever",I say

We get to the club where the party is taking place.
He parks his car and gets out.I get out and hold his hands feeling nervous.He hugs me and tell me to calm down.
I smile and compose myself.
We walk to the club and his friends surrounds us.
I smile at them and some too hug me."Go and get yourself a drink,no alcohol",he whisper to me and nudges me to move towards the bar.
I go to the counter and a guy around my age smiles.
"Can I have soda?",I say
"Yes,Soda coming right up",he says
"Here you go",I grab it and thank him.I look at where I left Gerald and he gives me a thumbs up.
I shake my head and sip my soda.

"Soo am Martin Luther,you?",he says and grins.
"Emmy",I say.
"Okayyyyy, beautiful name for a beautiful girl",he mutters and wink.
I feel a tug on my arm.I turn and realise it's Gerald.
"Baby let's go and dance",he says and pull me along.
I roll my eyes knowing why he pulled me along.He always does that when he sees me talking to a guy.We move to the dance floor and he wraps his hand around my waist as I wrap mine around his neck.
