Now You See Me

Catch Her in the Lie

Are you and Jaymie...? you know. Henry asked. 

Nah. Zach shook his head. " I mean she doesn't too, so I respect that." 

Henry nodded, "Do you two think you'll ever have sex?"

I don't know. He shrugged. "I don't really care either."

How sweet. Henry teased. 

"What's with you and Emma?? How's it going?"

"Good. Kind of actually...I don't know if she'll ever get over Kyle I mean on our date last night she talked about him a lot. 

Flashback

"What are you thinking of, Em? "

"Nothing, it doesn't matter."

" It does. Come on."

"It's Kyle related, really doesn't matter."

"How about each time you have a memory of Kyle, You can tell me instead of hiding it."

"Why would you want to hear them?"

"To help you get over them. Come on, just try, no harm can come out of it."

Emma sighed, "There was the one time where he took me to an ice rink and we ended up making out. So, we went on a search to find a "new favorite makeout place." So, the stars just reminded me outside of this bowling alley. It was dark, the stars kind of like now and no one around. Just the two of us, you know?"

Henry nodded. "Well, What's wrong with remembering  that?"

Emma shrugged, "because it reminds me how much I  miss him and want him to be with me again. Just call me his "Beautiful girlfriend again or call me princess like he always did. He made me feel great, all the time.  As if I wasn't just a tutor or a nerd but like I was pretty too."

You are not pretty. Henry said. "You're beautiful."

Emma looked up and their eyes locked in silence. 

I'm sorry. She whispered. 

"For what?"

"For this. You don't really want to hear this."

Living in the moment?  Emma completed. 

"Yeah."

They fell in silence again. 

Tell me more. Henry requested. 

"Of me and Kyle?"

Henry nodded, "Or whatever you're thinking of."

"I'm not thinking of Kyle right now."

"Then what are you thinking of?"

"How lucky I am to have you."

Henry smiled.

"Look, Henry, If we are going to be going out, I won't tell my friends until I am ready, ok? Because they are going to flip their lid if they found out."

"If we keep going out?  Do you want to?"

"I don't want to answer that question."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm afraid I'll jinx it."

Henry smirked, "You won't jinx it."

"How do you know?"

"Because no matter what your answer will be I'd still want to go out with you. If you want to or not, I'll continue wanting to be with you."

Flashback over.  

Hey, you'd be surprised... She might be slowly getting over him. Zach said.

It's good talking to someone about this, besides my uncle."

"Well, maybe this means you can tell me the big secret of yours."

Maybe. Henry said, "Maybe not."

Meanwhile...

Emma walked to her seat in her chemistry class. 

You look horrible today. April said without looking up.   

Thanks. Emma said rolling her eyes as she took a seat. 

"Just pointing out."

Later...

Are you going to pick me up? Emma questioned as she continued painting her toenails. 

"I was thinking if maybe you can just come over here since we are going to be  staying here anyway."

Here as in your apartment? Emma stopped what she was doing. 

"Mmmhmm"

"We're not going to do anything, right?"

Emma, I haven't kissed you yet. So, chill. Henry laughed. 

Of course. I knew that. She tried to cover up. "Does this mean we're dating?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know."

Henry chuckled. 

"I will see you at 8." 

Emma hung up and looked at her fingernails as she wiggled them with a smile. 

She looked at her watch again and saw she had about 45 minutes before she had to go to Henry's. All of a sudden, she felt like actually getting ready and not by just putting on some clothes that looked nice but to work on her make up, wear something perfect and do something with her hair. 

Mom, can I borrow your car? Emma went downstairs. 

Why do you need my car? Her mom questioned. "I really don't understand why you suddenly care how you look when it comes to you hanging out with your friends."

Emma shrugged, "So, can I have your car?"

"Isn't Jasper going to pick you up like last time?"

Emma quited down. "Jasper didn't pick me up last week and he didn't do it the week before last."

"Then who picked you up? Charlotte?"

Emma sighed and looked down at her nails which she had done with Pink chrome. ( She learned how to do it from her older sister.) 

I lied to you. She admitted. "I wasn;t with my friends for the past 2 weeks and I'm not going with them now" 

"So, who were you with?"

Henry. She looked up to see her mom's reaction. 

"Henry who?"

"Henry Hart." 

"Jasper's half brother?"

Emma nodded, "He not a bad guy."

"I never said he was. I was just about to say that I am glad that you are dating."
 

"I know, Can I now have your car?"

Sure. Her mom said as she handed Emma her keys.

Sorry for the short chapter again. I think I need some time for the next chapter to think of some new material.
