Could only Imagine

Chapter 4

I woke up but kept my eyes closed.
"Sh Gabe quiet their both asleep!"
"Sorry babe. He seemed to calm her down pretty well. I wonder what had happened."
"Ya me too. they are so cutie together."
"I hope that what ever had happened between them was fixed."
"Me too."
"I know."
"That's why I love you."
I open my eyes to see the door of the room closing. Then I see how I am snuggling with Cole. Them the whole night hits me. I get out of the bed quietly so I don't wake up Cole. I look at him for a second, not able to help myself. He is just so hot laying their, his hair messed up from sleep. I had never noticed how hot a bed head could be. I kiss him on the cheek before I can stop myself and I go out onto the porch. I sit down in one of the cushioned chairs and check my phone. I see an alert and realize if I don't hurry I am going to be late for work. I grab my cloths without waking up Cole and change in the bathroom. I then do my hair and makeup and write a quick note to Alex since she and Gabe are in her room. I jog to work and get their just in time.

COLES POV
I wake up in a strange bed and look around me. Then I remember last night. I shiver at the story she told me and get up. I wonder where Emily is anyways, and I check the living room. All I see is Alex and Gabe playing Call of Duty.
"Oh ya, she left a note saying she had work," Alex explains not looking from the game. I turn toward the kitchen and jump when Alex yells, "HA! I told you I could beat you!! HA Ha!" I start laughing as Alex tickles Gabe. If anyone else would dare to tickle Gabe they would be killed. But, Gabe loves Alex too much to kill her, and she knows it.
Alex gets up and comes over to me. "So what happened last night?"
I explain to her and Gabe what happened and why she was crying, and even what happened on the street before that. "Where's dana by the way?" I ask.
"He had to go home, he decides that these couches weren't comforting," Alex explains.
"I think he just felt weird being like the fifth wheel," Gabe comments, earning an elbow to the side by Alex, but she is laughing.

EMILY'S POV
I glance up at the clock to see that there is 25 minutes left till my shift is over. I take out the rag and wash the counter, wondering if Cole is still at the apartment. I am not sure if I could face him again, or if I could not face him again. I really didn't know what to do. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice dana come in.
"I'll have a Carmel.. oh Emily!" Dana says noticing it's me.
"Oh hi dana!" I say forcing a smile. I try my best not to blush. He was at the house when I had the crying fit and I hate that I just got here and I have given people that impression of me.
"Feeling better?" he asks as I make his usual drink.
"Ya, I was just tired last night," I lie. Well, I only half lied. I was tired last night and that might have made it worse.
We talked for a bit after my shift was done and my phone went off. As I reached to grab it from my purse I hum to one of my favorite songs "Can't stay away" that I have as my ring tone. Out of the corner of my eye I see dana smirk. When I see it is just a telemarketer I put it away and ask "What dana?"
In reply he asks " You like that song?"
"Ya why?" I asked confused.
Instead of explaining he asks "Who's it by do you know?"
"No I don't why do I want to know?"
"oh no reason!" he says quickly. I can tell he is hiding something but for now I leave it. I say a quick goodbye and head home.
