Chapter 23: Nostalgic Night

EMMA's POV 

lan and I walked away from the bar and ended up strolling around the boardwalk.

I left Tiff and Carrie with the car as they were getting a motel room to stay for the night.

They truly were the most wonderful friends in the world, I shall cherish them forever.

Meanwhile, the boardwalk was almost empty as it was a cold December night.

The air was chilly, but I was feeling all warm on the inside as we walked in silence for a while.

"So..."He trailed.

"So..."I replied.

"Is everything okay with you? Did something happened with Zach again—"

"No, nothing happened.Everything’s good,"I said reassuringly.

He nodded in relief as we kept on walking.

"So you wanna tell me why you showed up in New Jersey out of all places?"

"I have to come to see you and talk to you,"

"If this is about your AP Art portfolio, you could have asked me at school—"

"It's not about that,"

"Then what is it? There’s nothing else to talk about other than school, right?"he asked cautiously.

"Wrong,"I stated.

He stopped his tracks and I followed suit.

He gave me a warning look and said, "Emma,"

"lan,"I replied playfully, but he wasn’t amused.

"Stop playing,"he hissed.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came because I know you love me.Even if you don’t wanna admit it.I know you do,"I said firmly and confidently.

He was taken aback, his eyes shot open and he couldn't respond for a while.

"Emma..."he started speaking, but he couldn't finish it.

It was like his breath was caught in his throat.I glanced around the boardwalk and noticed the little drops of white snow that began to fall.I never knew that snowfall could be so beautiful.It was perfect.I wanted to freeze this moment in time.

"It’s snowing,"

I commented and reached my hand out to catch the snowflakes.

"Are you cold? We should get you inside,"

He said and he took off his coat, draping it over me in one fell swoop.

His familiar masculine smell enveloped my body and it was heaven sent.

"No, this is great.I'm okay,"

I smiled and pulled his coat tighter around me.

"How did you get to New Jersey? Do your parents know about this?"

"I drove here and they're okay,"
