Not so surprised

Emily...

Emily opened the door only to find Ashley clutching her stomach in pain.

Emily immediately helped her to the bed.

"Are you okay?"

"No, my stomach hurts. It's like I've been stabbed with thousands of daggers"

"Drop the act already. She knows and by the way you're a horrible actress" said Kira rolling her eyes.

"At least, I'm better than a certain someone that said, 'I swallowed a pregnant snake and it just delivered an egg. I can feel the husband punching my scrotum'" mimicked Ashley making Emily chuckle.

From the glare and face redness, that someone was definitely Kira.

"But only males have scrotum" Emily said with a smile as she stared at Kira.

"I know but dear sexologist here doesn't" Ashley said making Emily surprise.

"You studied sexology?" Emily asked Kira making her nod while Ashley laughed.

Emily chuckled quietly before the reality of the situation came back to her all at once.

"I don't want to get engaged to Kevin now. I'm still twenty two"

"I got engaged to Jayden when I was eighteen before I went to study in the University and Ashley got engaged to Will when she was nineteen so it really is no big deal"

Kira said making Emily shake her head.

"The pack members are waiting for me downstairs" Ashley said making Emily panic.

"Go downstairs with Ashley and act like you're worried about her. I'll join you guys later" said Kira before leaving the room.

*******

The car ride was quiet giving Emily time to think.

She had obviously figured their plan.

Ashley was supposed to act like she had a bug and then she would be so worried about her and then offer to take Ashley to the hospital.

Kira would tag along and viola!!! they're gone.

Why was she not surprised?

"Don't worry, Em. We're going to take you to all of my favorite places" Ashley said making Kira grumble.

"Speak for yourself"

Ashley only ignored her, still keeping her attention on Emily.

"I'll make sure you forget today's your engagement"

And to the driver, she said "Take us to mall 1"

Emily slumped against the headrest.

She was going to forget, that's for sure.
