Into You (COMPLETE)

Chapter 56

CHAPTER 56:

Emma's POV:

My peaceful sleep is disrupted by the ringing phone. I groan and I hear Jer groan too. I realise that we fell asleep after the sex and I was still naked and so was he. Our bodies were covered by my sheets and I was tightly held by him. I loosen his hold around me and turn around to grab my phone from the bedside table.

"Ouch" I wince when I feel the stinging pain between my thighs. But I somehow manage to grab my phone.

'hello' 

I say and yawn without looking at the caller ID.

'hello. Am I speaking to Emma?'

the voice on the other side.  It sounds somewhat familiar but I can't pinpoint yet.  I get out of bed and grab Jeremy's shirt and walk out of the bedroom, not wanting to wake Jeremy up.

'yes, who is this?'

I say and sit down on the kitchen stool.

'its Blake, I mean Ethan'

he hesitates before saying Ethan but I don't understand why he is calling me.

'Blake?'

I say, surprise evident in my voice. All my sleep is now out the window and I am fully concentrated on the conversation.

'Did you need something?'

I ask him hesitantly, not sure why he called me.

'i can't explain it on
the phone. Can we meet?'

he asks me.

'umm.. sure.
Let me know when'

I say still unsure why he would need me. I was almost sitting well with the fact he isn't my brother.

'can we meet right now?'

he asks.

'right now?'

I say, what could be so urgent?

'is everything okay?'

I ask him.

'everything is okay
. Meet me at the same
ice cream parlour
in fifteen minutes'

he says and hangs up. He is so rude. But then I realise he just gave me fifteen minutes.

I reek of sweat and sex so I take a quick and, might I add, painful shower. I wear Jeremy's black shirt and blue denims. I wear a pair of flats and put my hair in a low bun.

I look at Jeremy sleeping peacefully hugging the pillow. I decide not to wake him up but I leave a note in the kitchen saying I'll be back in some time. I give him a soft kiss on the forehead and leave the apartment with my car keys in hand.

I see the ice cream place about seven minutes later. Seeing as it is still early, there are not a lot of people. I spot Ethan sitting in the corner with a Starbucks in his hand. He is wearing a suit and looks like he is here for a business meeting. I look down at my outfit and groan inwardly. I take a seat in front of him after grabbing a mint chocolate chip ice cream. Don't judge me, I just love ice cream a little too much.
