It was always you

Am I prepared

"Selena, I think we'd call the kids back." I found my mom saying. It's been two days since the dinner with Emerson and I am staying at my parents house to prepare for the wedding.

What made you say that mom?

God has given kids a special power, they notice what we as adults failed to, and the biggest example being that they're against your wedding with Ethan when each and every person was forcing you to do .

I think before your marriage, they'd met Emerson and spend time with him, so that they don't get shocked.

I think what she's saying in correct but I am not looking forward to it, what if there reaction would go negative, what if they hate Emerson or me for hiding such a big truth from them, I knew the old Emerson what if this new one disclose the truth to them?

Really Sally? You think so low for the love of your life. If he'd have been different Emerson he wouldn't have agreed to take the responsibility of his sisters kids and would have leave you alone to marry someone like Ethan. I found my devilish inner self lecturing me but this part of me love and respect him very much, and it's somewhat correct .

"If you take my advice, take Emerson along with you to pick the kids up." I narrowed my eyes at her advice.

"I am serious Selena." My mom said "It'd be better and easy for you if you tell them sooner than later. " I gave up and agreed, but Will Emerson agree?

"Do you want me to call him?" My mom asked , "Mom, I'd tell him myself, everything is okay between us."

"I thought you weren't on talking terms." She explained, I rolled my eyes, she decided my marriage to a man with whom, I am not in talking terms and the best part is she's very well aware of it.

She's have assumed it when, we both ignored eachother in business parties, "It's good that you both are still friends." I wished that it'd have been true but I am not sure about it .

I glanced in the sky outside the window, whenever I looked at it, whether it's cloudy, dark or shiny, it gave my heart a special kind of feelings, no other feeling can match that feeling. It feels like , I am looking towards the house of my God.

I hope everything goes as planned God. I prayed internally and sighed.

"You know Sally, I thought you ran away from your wedding with Emerson, and I even told your dad and Camelia that, I am regretting gaving you a permission to buy innumerable romance novels. " I couldn't help but let out a chuckle but felt a slight anger but it soon vanished.

"Mom you are still a child. " She glared at me but chuckled. "I think I should first call Mrs Brigid to inform her about my arrival and keep the children prepared. "She nodded, and left the room.

After informing their teacher, I thought twice before calling Emerson, but seeing no harm I dialled his number, he picked up the call in two rings.

"Hey Princess! Everything fine?" He spoke in his enthusiastic sexy voice.

"Hey! Wanna meet your niece and nephew. " He paused for a minute and knew it must be to much for him.

"Really, when and where do you want me to come?" He asked.

"You can pick me up from my parent's house whenever you're free." I can imagine him smiling at the other side of the phone.

"Thank you Sally!" I found him saying.

"Thank you for agreeing to forgave me for the sake of our children. "

"Do you forget Emerson, it's not for you it's for us. " He sighed, "I'll pick you up at five in the evening."

"Okay!"

"Okay.."

"Do you want to say something?" I asked .

"Umm.. Nevermind.Bye!"

"Bye!" I hung up the call because he never does that whenever he talks to me.

...

The summer camp was a hour away from the city, and as soon as I sat in Emerson's Porsche, I discovered nervous vibes coming from him, this was when I remembered when in school he's gone for viva, he rehearse it with me all this while his legs and hands constantly shaking, and that was the moment when we shared our first kiss , I still remember every moment of it and after his exam he told me about how good it went and since that it became his tradition to kiss me before starting something big. I sighed hope everything goes without me inviting more troubles for myself.

"Nervous." I couldn't help but ask to avoid the car ride being silent as well as awkward.

"Very" he sighed and said, I smiled and kept my hands on his .

"Everything will going to be fine, they'll like you, I am sure." My hand on his made me relaxed, I can feel it, and I hate myself for making him feel that way.

"Are you sure?" He asked as his face lightened up.

"Yeah! There's no reason for them to be hated by you, you're are handsome and you know Lily like her mother loves to be around handsome guys, and you know when she's a child, I took her to a babysitter who's handsome, and she refused to leave him , so I have to take that guys photo to take her along with me." He chuckled, "What about my nephew? Will he like me?" He asked and I found smile from my face vanishing.

"Peter, is a questionable little man like his father, it'll take us ages to explain him everything and we have to cook up reasonable stories." I said, Peter can be a pain sometimes, but he resembles, Emerson, Laura and James so much that, I just can't make my mind to scold him.

"Don't worry, they both are understanding kids." He nodded and the car ride passed in a flash of seconds as we both talked about the likes and dislikes of the kids. Time walks superfast when, I am with him.

He parked the car by the time, I prepared myself to witness everything, soon Emerson joined me in the garden, and I think he's still nervous.

"S..Sa..Sally can I ask you something. " He asked , "Do you remember we used to kiss eachother before beginning something big ."

"Introducing myself to my niece and nephew, is biggest thing for me than an interview for job." I eyes grew wide at his confession, I knew what he wanted.

But, Am I ready to gave it to him?
