Silver Moon

“Emm, we..we” Miles tried to talk but he would be lying if he said that he hadn't been waiting for this moment for as long as he could remember. “Emma Jordan.. Jordan might see us… We.” Miles once again tried to talk but the excitement and pleasure that he was getting from her lips was more than he expected. Emma reached for his belt and Miles caught her hand and finally broke free from the kiss. “what's wrong? Why are you fighting this?” Emma asked searching for an answer in Miles face but he just lowered his head, got up from the bed and walked to window. “Miles say something.. Don't you want me?” At this point, her eyes were getting teary and just as she was about to speak, Miles rushed to her again and planted another kiss on her lips and they bought fell down on the bed. Emma reached for the belt one more time but this time, there was no resistance from Miles and just as Emma managed to get it open, the bedroom door suddenly swung open, “Babe your mum said i should -” the voice froze midsentence before footsteps were heard running out.. A year ago… When she comes here looking for me, tell her that i moved to another state and you're not sure if I'll ever come back” Miles said as he ran into the room and slammed the door behind him. “what are you talking about?” Emma asked while looking at Miles who was trying to hide in his closet. Emma sat up and walked to the window just in time to see a red convertible pulling up in front of the house. A blonde tall girl with a slim figure came out of the car, walked up to the door and started pounding on the door “MILES REYNOLDS IF YOU DON'T COME OUT OF THAT HOUSE RIGHT THIS MOMENT, I'LL BURN IT DOWN” she shouted while she still pounded on the door. Emma sighed, rolled her eyes before walking to the door to meet the angry guest but just as she was about to open the door, the pounding stopped and she heard someone walk away from the door, a car starting up and driving away. Emma was confused as to what just happened and quickly opened the door to fully understand what was going on but the moment she did, she understood everything. Miles’s mother, was standing in the middle of the yard, arms folded whilst shooting daggers at Emma from her eyes. Emma chuckled nervously and hurried to her side and welcomed her. Emma knew how Miles’s mother was and how she had always warned her son not to bring his “Activities ” home to bother her but then again Miles has never been one to listen so it wasn't difficult to tell that things were about to get messy. “Welcome back Mrs R. How was your day?” Emma asked while picking up the bags of groceries that were on the ground beside her. “Emms don't you even try to get involved in this. I've told him a million times that i don’t need his extra curriculums in my place and what happened to just calling me Stacy? ”Stacy asked while walking into the house and moving straight to Miles’s room. Emma knew that nothing she said or did was going to prevent what was about to happen so she just decided to sit on the kitchen counter, eat and apple and wait for the whole issue to die down. “Owww.. Mummm.. What.. What was that for?” Emma heard Miles yell from his room which was followed by some yelling from Stacy and she couldn't help but giggle. Few minutes later, Stacy walked into the kitchen and a pouty Miles was behind her. “Emma thank you for helping me with the groceries, unlike “some people “Stacy said while looking at Miles who just sat there and sulked. After five minutes of sulking, Miles got up from his seat, went to where Stacy stood and gave a tight bear hug from behind “I'm sorry mum, it won't happen again.. I promise” he said while hugging her. Emma watched as Stacy relaxed her body and hugged her son back before smiling. “Yeah.. We all know that's a lie “Stacy said after sometime and everyone started laughing. Emma looked at her watch and realized that she had to go. I have to get going, my dad will soon be back and i wouldn't want him to look for me when he returns” she said as she got up from her seat and went to get her things from Miles’s room. When she returned to the kitchen with her bag, Stacy hugged her goodbye and handed a brown paper bag which contained food before going back to what she was cooking. Miles walked her to her car and she drove home. Emma stopped front of her house and just sat in the car for some time. Her hands were still on the steering wheel but the engine was off. She took a deep breath in and out before she hugged herself. She then took her clothes and look a big sniff on it, she could still smell Miles’s cologne on it. As she smelt it, she relaxed into her car seat and just smiled while the butterflies in her tummy danced around in them. She smiled and hugged herself even tighter before letting go and walking into her house. The moment she opened the, she instantly wished she stayed back at the door. The smell of booze and weed filled her nostrils plus she could hear people talking in the living room. Emma sighed and mentally kicked herself because she knew that she was going to face whatever or whoever was in the living room before getting to her bedroom. She worked up the courage and started walking quickly towards the living room, the quicker she got this over with, the quicker she would get to her room and shut out all the unwanted noise. As she got to the living room, she saw her father passed out drunk on the couch with the television on and instantly, Emma heaved a sigh of relief before slowly walking past him and going into her room. She locked the door behind her, took a shower, brought out the brown paper bag Miles’s mum had given her from her bag and sat down on bed to eat. As she ate, she brought out her phone and called Miles. “Hey, yeah i got home awhile ago but i needed to freshen up first. No.. He's uh.. He's not back yet.. Yeah i know. How's your mum? But seriously dude, what did you do for her to drive all the way to your house and threaten to burn it down? Seriously? Well i told you that she was nothing but bad news but did you listen? No.. You didn't. Anyway, I've got to go. See you tomorrow” Bea hung up and got ready for bed. It took some time for her to get comfortable but just as she was about to to drift off to sleep, she was awoken by three heavy knocks on her door but before she could do anything, her door was violently swung open.
