Chapter 112

Kevin's POV 

I decided to shop in a Chanel store cause my guy, Fred, recommended it. 

We were both on probation, but were in the top ten highest earning population in Arizona. 

It was a hybrid role, and I was gonna make my first appearance in two days. 

I worked hard to prepare my presentation, slides and stuff, and I was ready to take them by storm. 

I didn't drop out if Hugh school few dates to my final exams to be a fucking loser. 

As we walked through the store, I reminded myself that I could very much afford it. Afterall, I'd moved back to the city my family and I left less than a year ago due to high rent. 

I got a place somewhere in the high rise corners of the city. I swore to enjoy life, and that was exactly what I was doing. 

Fred had two girls over the night before, and was nice enough to offer me one. 

We went at it raw and hard. She's the only girl I'd been with since Emma. I'd become so much of a loser that I got her number from Fred. I was gonna hit my one night fling back up, just in case my love life in County was as shitty as it was in Starry. 

It'd been awfully long since I set my eyes on Emma. 

Seeing her saunter through the shelves, in her mini dress, brought back all the memories that had so fucking haunted me. 

I slept so many nights, with thoughts of Emma on my mind. A hundred thoughts and she was ninety nine. 

It never made sense, not to me, nor to Kayla. 

I was mad as hell when I discovered what Kala did in my defense. 

I never fucking wanted that. 

I know my life took an unforeseen downward turn after the whole bullcrap at Royal Province High. 

It was just too much shame to stay. 

I started filling applications online, and that was how I landed me a fucking big deal of a job in a Fortune 500 company. 

 "I hope you call me." I said, whether or not she heard. 

It was really like the universe was smiling down on me. 

At that moment, I could've donated to charity from the sheer excitement of seeing her. 

 "What's making you so happy man?" Fred asked, as we linked up back. 

He'd been checking some rompers and coats. 

I really just wanted something simple. I'd become something of a body builder myself, and I knew that in no time, I was gonna have to shop for the next sizes. 

 "Just forget it." I said to him, hiding my smile. 

 "It's hard to forget." He pressed on. "You walked in here looking like you had the weight of the world on your shoulders fam." He joked

 "I've been off the drugs and alcohol for over two months, Fred, sometimes, it's gonna have to be like that. I can't just be happy anymore." I explained vaguely to him. 

 "That doesn't explain that very sheepish look on your face." Fred remarked. "Or is that some after effect of Rhoda?" He winked and lowered his voice as he mentioned her name. 

 "Who's that?"I asked. It couldn't ring any bells. My mind was fogged with Emma. I'm not ashamed to say I watched her hips sway left to write, and her butt jiggling. It was such a divine scene. 

If I ever gotta be stuck in a moment of my life, I'd choose that, cause it'd only mean eternal pleasure. 

 "The girl you bust yesterday. You're licking your lips, man." Fred burst into laughter. 

Emma was making a man like me fall hard. I was doing more than licking my lips. If only Fred knew I was already undressing her in my mind. 

 "Can we just do what we're here for?" I asked I'm a vain attempt to take the attention off me. 

While Fred laughed at my predicament, one he even wrongly guessed, I kept looking round, making sure Emma hadn't left cause yet. 

I needed to see her one last time. Too much pride and false composure was the only thing that stopped me from groveling at her feet. 

I knew I deserved that. I put her through shit, twice. I was ready to spend all of me making it up to her. 

As long as she was gonna be mine. 

I'd stalked her very closely, Gray too was instrumental in telling me stuff, those times when we hung out in Starry. I made a silent mental note that I'd have her back, by any means necessary, thank heavens that the universe brought her my way, without making it necessary for me to do that. 

I was getting ready to cum in my underpants, just thinking of how juicy she'd be.

 "You've gotta know that your face is so much of an open book." Fred broke into my thoughts. 

 "Alright man." I conceded. "I just met the girl." I said. 

 "If that makes sense to you it doesn't to me." He shot back.

I met Fred at therapy, just weeks into it. 

We had a therapy session about how shitty our therapist was, and both decided to cancel. 

 "Seeing him," he pointed to the balding man who professed to take people's pains away, "at this point is more traumatic than what brought me here." He joked. 

 "That's THE Emma." His eyes shaped into nothing smaller than a saucer. He stared in disbelief, looking in the direction she went. 

 "She looked so pretty, man." He acknowledged. "I'd be in therapy too if I were you. Haven't seen you this happy in a while." He nudged my arm, "I've still got Rhoda's contact though." He burst out in laughter right in the middle of everywhere, attracting attention from shoppers and sales executives. 

After what seemed like eternity, I'd gone through a series of stuff I knew I wasn't gonna but to pass time, I finally saw her and her friend head to the checkout point, and I followed suit. 

The scene must've been so comic. 

And I knew she was aware, I saw the tip of her lips quaking, with a smile she was tryna hide. 

 "I'll pay for that." I stepped in as soon as they got their bill. 

I'm not even gonna lie, what they spent on shopping was the price of our house in Starry, but I was a big boy so I could comfortably afford it on my new pay. 

I extended my card. 

 "We're just fine." Her friend quipped, taking a black card from Emma. 

 'Ohhhh. That's cold.' I said in my mind. She must be with an old money to have a black card. 

 "That's not how to treat a gentleman, Lily." She regarded her friend. "Well accept your kind gesture." She said to me, 

It felt like I was floating on clouds. 

I paid our Bill's, and soon we were out of the store. 

 "So when will I see you again?" I asked her. 

 "She has a boyfriend." Her friend was shooting me daggers with her eyes. 

 "Nit unless I say." Emma smiled. 

I can't say I ever really got to see that side of her, but I loved it. 

 "You're just angry Emma, don't do something stupid." The lady whispered quite audibly in her ear, maintaining eye contact with me. 

 "Bye." Emma said, dashing all my hope's of ever seeing her again. I was already beginning to think of stupid shit like stalking her and stuff, "for now." she added, and my halo came back on. 

'Yes!' I gave myself a high five in my head.
