-Emma-
Emma tossed and turned when she felt someone experiencing inner emotional conflict. This was unlike anything she had ever felt before. This conflict was all centered around her. She couldn't help but feel suppressed by these emotions; and with that, she sat up in her bed, and let out a terrifying scream.
"No!"
-Shalimar-
"Emma, Emma, its okay, sweetie! Please calm down; you're going to be alright! I won't let anyone hurt you!"
With that Shalimar wrapped her arms tightly around Emma's body. She was petrified and covered in thick layer of cold sweat. Nothing had ever pained Shalimar more than witnessing Emma in such a state. She was so scared and she had sworn that she would never let anything like that ever happen to Emma again.
-Emma-
It took Emma a while to finally calm her self down to the point she could finally remember where she was. She cautiously took in her surroundings, and then she was met with the worried eyes of the person she desperately wanted. It didn't take long, for her to realize that the feelings she was experiencing were coming from none other than Shalimar. She could sense it the minute she took her in her arms.
Emma was confused. One minute Shal was trying to block her feelings for Emma out of her head and her heart; and the next minute, all Emma could sense was Shal's need to be closer to her. It was a drama that Emma was more the positive that she didn't want to be a part of.
She was overly crazy about Shalimar, but if she didn't get her emotions under control and start admitting how she felt about her, she wouldn't be able to do this any more. She didn't like being made to feel like the odd man out. It was becoming a constant reminder of why she didn't enjoy falling in love.
-Shalimar-
"Emma, are you… okay?"
"I guess I could ask you the same question."
"What do you mean?"
"Shal, you know exactly what I mean, so don't play dumb!"
"Emma, can we please not do this right now?"
"Why, what's so wrong with now? I think you and I need to have a serious talk about what happened last night. I mean, you just can't have sex with a girl and then expect her to…"
"Emma, PLEASE! I said not right now! I don't feel like talking about this with you, so just drop it. God you can be so fucking stubborn sometimes!"
Shal was completely facing Emma now; she was clearly not a force to be reckoned with. But she knew that made it so much more appealing to Emma; she didn't give up easily and that was going to be a real problem; because, she was about one minute from blowing a gasket.
"If I'm stubborn, then what the hell does that make you? Please Shal, I'm dying to know, do you fuck all your friends, then just wake up the next morning and pretend it didn't happen. Come on Shal, the world is waiting for an answer; I'm waiting for an answer!"
"Emma, I said don't do this, and I meant it. I will not hesitate to walk out of here! I don't need this from anyone, especially you!"
"And what is that suppose to mean? Am I not good enough for your majesty? Shalimar I don't give a shit if you walk out of here, do it I don't need this either. I can't believe I ever fooled myself into thinking that you could ever care…"
Emma let her out loud thought disappear in the air. Shal knew what she meant, despite her weak attempts at trying to hide it. She knew that Emma really did care about her; and some where, deep down in her heart she knew she had fallen too. But sometimes, your brain doesn't always let your heart do the thinking. And sometimes when you're scared, your mouth says things that you don't truly mean.
"Well, your right there, you are definitely a fool!"
Shal regretted the comment almost instantly. The painful look in Emma's eyes took immediate affect. Her eyes began to fill with tears, and before she could even stop to think what she was doing; Emma simply got up and turned around so she was directly facing her.
"Well, I guess you have made up your mind! As a matter a fact, you seem to have also made up my mind. So let me clue you in, this thing between us is over. I don't want you to ever speak to me again. It shouldn't be too hard for you, since you seem to be so great at being a bitch."
With that, Emma turned back around and out the door. She was bound and determined never to regret the choice she just made. As far as she was concerned, Shalimar Fox could go to hell!
