Emma's pov.
it's been a few days since corbins house warming and if I'm being honest I'm around sick of hearing about " sage and Corby love fest"
she doesn't actually talk to me about it but when we're slow she's always in the phone with someone talking about their s*x life or about how he's around so into her.
first he kisses me and tells me he can't do a relationship right now then he turns around and gets into one with her. of course would she's beautiful and let's face it she's got a better body.
I'm in the back covered in ICING and flour when she likes her head in
" hey Emma there's a really cute officer here asking for you and I'm taking my break"
I scrunch my brows together wiping my hands down wondering why my brother is here. as I make my way out I see Dylan looking very handsome in his uniform I blush as I try to get some of the flour from my shirt
" hey beautiful!"
he says cheerfully I smile at him
" uh sorry I know I look a mess"
I know my cheeks are red as he smiles at me a full smile shaking his head
" not at all Emma."
" uh what can I get for you?"
I ask looking over the sweets we have out. he also looks over thinking
" well I guess I'll take a coffee and donut. but I'm really here to see if I could have your number?"
smooth I think to myself smiling I get his coffee and donut
" 5.50. and I guess you could have my number as long as you aren't gonna report back everything I do to my brother"
he laughs handing me a twenty dollar bill.
" definitely not the reason I'm asking for it "
I tell him my number and go to hand him his change but he waves me off
" keep it. hopefully I'll be seeing you around ".
he says as he sends me a wink walking out. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
maybe getting to know him better will get my mind off of Corbin
that night as I'm closing up my phone chimes
number- hey beautiful it's Dylan. hope you didn't work to hard today.
I smile saving his number.
me- definitely a long busy day. but I won't lie I enjoy it way to much to complain at the moment.
how was your shift?
I call Casey as I'm headed home.
casey- hey chick how was work
me- it was good. sooo guess what
casey- what??
me- well Dylan may have come in today and asked for my number...
she squeals and I laugh
casey-so this means you aren't going to confront Corbin?
I sigh out shaking my head even tho she can't see me
me- no I'm not. he made it clear he isn't interested and he's currently in a relationship or something with sage. maybe Dylan will actually turn out the be a nice guy?
casey- honestly I don't know what corbins deal is. I mean yeah your marks sister but that shouldn't be a big deal right? but yes Dylan does seem like a nice guy
me-I'll let you know if it goes any where. what about you any guy got your interest yet?
she paused for a moment
casey-um no definitely not. you know I'm to busy for that.
I sigh I feel like any time I bring up her dating she says shes to busy and changes the subject.
me-okay well you know I'm always here to babysit if needed
casey- thank you friend really but I think I'm okay. I'm about to head into my shift so I'll text you later. you go get your man
I laugh at her as we hang up pulling into the driveway. I think I may start looking for my own place I think it's time.
checking my phone I see Dylan has replied
Dylan- thankfully it was uneventful.
Dylan - if it isn't to forward could I ask you out on a date?
me- glad it was uneventful.
me-I guess you could ask but doesn't mean if agree
I laugh at myself and my sassy comeback.
heading into the house and grabbing a snack before heading up to change.
dylan-well Emma marshall would you do me the honor of letting me take on a date?
my heart flutters a little
me- well that depends on when this date is
Dylan - honesty when ever you are free. I'll figure the rest out.
wow. he's willing to work around my schedule. I think about it for a moment and realize I don't have much going on this weekend
me - I don't have any going on this weekend.
Dylan - perfect! pick you up at 5 Saturday.
we chat back and forth before I head down to see my dad.
sitting at dinner with my dad I bring up the conversation I've been dreading
" daddy?"
" yes sweetie?"
" I've been uh thinking maybe I should look for my own place. you know start actually trying to be an adult"
I look up at him expecting him to be upset but to my surprise he smiles taking my hand
" you are definitely a real adult sweetie and if you are ready then I will support you any way I can"
I get up and hug him
" will you be okay on your own?"
he laughs
" sweetie I'll be fine. you need to live your life. trust me I'll be more than okay"
that conversation went way better than I expected and it makes me happy but sad at the same time that night as I texted back and forth with Dylan looking at places for rent I was smiling. he seems really nice and is actually interested in knowing things about me. and he seems interesting also which is a plus. I found a few places up for rent that I e write down and plan on visiting when I have time to make sure the pictures aren't fake before set my heart on anything.
chatting with Dylan we are both into LSU football and before we've even gone on our first date we're talking about going to a game together this fall
me-as long as you won't be embarrassed by me screaming
Dylan - a girl after my own heart. truine you won't be the only one screaming during the game
we text back and forth until I falling crash and fall asleep on him
corbins pov.
I roll off of sage pulling the condom off and throwing it away.
definitely feels good to be getting laid, it isn't the best and I can definitely tell she's been around the block but he'll she ain't asking for much of me which is what I need right now.
I make my way back through her apartment trying not to trip over any of her mess as she pulls the sheet over her body smiling at me
she takes a seat by a small table in her room full of junk
" wanna sleep good tonight?".
she ask raising a brow at me
I shrug
" what do you have in mind?"
she winks at me pulling out different pull bottles shaking one
" these are great for relaxing. I also have others that give you the best high"
I shrug sticking my hand out. as she gives me 3 I take them and crash on her bed watching TV as she crawls in next to me.
not long after my eyes start to get heavy and I feel like the weight is gone. taking unknown pills might not be a great idea but damn do I feel good.
I haven't actually slept a night in my new home. Ive just been working then coming here and drinking and sleeping with sage.
I let my thoughts drift to Emma as I fall asleep.
the next morning I wake up and my whole body hurts
" f**k" I groan and sage moans beside me
" take the others you'll be better in no time"
she says half asleep. I pull myself from her bed limping to the bathroom trying to get myself together enough to go into work.
I need something to get me through the day and I know the low pain pills the doctor has me on isn't gonna work. so I limp over to the table and grab the other pills throwing them back.
' you could at least offer me some coffee "
I grit out
she groans rolling over
" or you could just let the pills kick in and climb back in bed and I can ride that big d**k of yours before work"
she responds throwing the blanket off of her body as my eyes take her in. she looks a hot mess, maybe she has been hitting the pills and booze a little to hard lately I think to myself as she throws back some pills before climbing back in bed running her hand down her own body
" come on baby it won't hurt to be a little late"
I sigh closing my eyes.
" f**k it I don't have anything better to do"
she giggles out as I shake my head.
she doesn't have to know I imagine her as Emma every single time I f**k her
