Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 62: Almost Always 

EMMA’s POV : 

I thought about calling, but the thought of hearing his voice scared the hell out of me.

I turned off the call before it even rang.

Calling someone out of the blue could be so nerve wracking.

So I decided to text him instead.

It was more casual.

I wrote about ten different texts before settling with "Can we talk - Emma’.

Yeah, just those four words.

No hi or hello or how are you.

It was simple and straightforward.

As soon as I hit the send I threw my phone down at the passenger seat.

I was so nervous, I couldn't even look at it.

I waited for a few seconds before I picked up the phone again.

The message was delivered.

I was wondering if he'd read it yet, and as if to answer my question, my phone suddenly buzzed with an incoming call.

lan was calling me! I was not prepared for that! I almost dropped my phone to the ground out of sheer shock.

I was starting at the screen for a while before I took a deep breath and tapped the answer button.

"Hello?"my voice came out shakily 

"Emma, it’s good to hear from you,"he said.

He sounded cool and casual.

"It is?I asked.

‘Yeah, I also have something I wanna talk to you about,"

"You do?"

"Let’s meet.Just tell me when and where,"

"Okay, I will,"

I said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Hey, you know, you could just text me back,"

"And you could just call,"he replied.

"Right..."

"Yeah..."

There was an awkward silence there and I could hear his breathing.

This was exactly why I didn’t wanna call him in the first place.

I didn’t want any awkward silences.

"So, I'll let you know the time and place,"I said finally.

"Okay,"

"I'll, uh text or call or something,"

"Okay,"

"Alright, see you then,"

"See you,"
