Emilie woke the next morning and rolled over onto her stomach. She looked a the clock, it was 10 am. She picked up the phone and dialed Howie’s cell number. “Hello?” his voice came through the phone. She smiled. He didn’t know she had decided to stay.
“Hello” She said.
“Emilie? what are you doing calling?” He asked.
“Well I had nothing better to do..” Emilie said
“Aren’t you working today? Oh wait it must only be 7 am there.” He said.
“No it’s 10 am here.” She said holding back a giggle.
“But it is 10 am here how can that be possible?” he said.
“Well... I don’t think there is a time difference between two streets...” her voice trailed off.
“You’re still here?” He asked
“Yes”
“Oh my god, I will be right over. I can’t wait to see you. I have missed you so much! Oh my god bye” He hung up before she could say anything.
She jumped out of bed, grabbed some clothes from her closet and ran for the bathroom. She had to get ready quickly. She took a shower and began to brush her teeth when the doorbell rang. No one else was home so she had to hurry to get her teeth done. The doorbell rang again. She finished and ran for the door.
“Hi!” she greeted him.
“I have missed you!” He hugged her.
“I missed you too!” She smiled up at him.
He kissed her, she returned the kiss passionatly. They walked up into the living room and sat down on the couch.
“No more tears?” he asked concerned.
“Nope none, I am so happy to be here”
“Are you moving here?”
“Yes, I called my landlord last night and asked her if it was possible to have my stuff sent here. She said she would cover the charge if I paid her the next three months rent. I said ok.. I have to borrow the money from Camille but I can pay her back once I get a job.” She sighed as she put her arms around him.
“I am glad Camille was able to lend you the money. But if you ever need anything I want you to know I am always here for you Emilie” He said as he put his arms around her.
“You know you are the most wonderful person I have ever met!” She kissed him.
“You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen” He kissed her back.
“No you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen” She giggled then kissed him again.
They sat there on the couch whispering and kissing for the rest of the day.
