EMMA’s POV :
I regretted putting my phone on silent and missing lan’s calls.
He called me nine times and texted me three times, asking me if everything was okay.
I texted him back and I called him, but he didn’t pick up.
He was probably asleep already.
So in the morning when my phone rang, no matter how bad my head was hurting, I woke up and I picked up the video call.
"Hi, good morning,"I croaked.
My hand went to straighten my crazy hair and I pulled it into a messy bun.
"Hey,"he beamed, looking as gorgeous as ever.
"I'm sorry I missed your calls last night,"I sighed.
"Where were you?"he asked.
"Sophie wanted to go see the Rocky Horror Picture Show.I was gonna go for just an hour and I was But I went there and we did a drinking game, like take a shot every time the actors started to dance, and boy did they dance a lot! Long story short, I ended up staying until the end of the show.I puked into a trash can in front of the bar and then I went home,"
"Sounds like a night,"he stifled a laugh.
"But I’m just glad you're okay,"
"I'm really sorry I missed your call.I didn’t mean to.My phone was on silent.You’re not mad at me, are you?"I asked cautiously.
"No.It’s Halloween night, I assumed you went out,"he said understandingly.
"I wish I didn’t go and stayed home instead.All I did was drank some beer and I puked it all out in the next hour,"I said as my hand went to rub my aching head.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Horrible.But I'll make some coffee and take an Advil, I'm gonna be okay,"
"You can go back to sleep if you want, we can talk later,"he said sweetly.
"No, I wanna talk to you.I've missed you,"I whined.
I could barely keep my eyes open but I fought hard and put out my best smile.
"It's okay, baby girl, I'm still gonna be here when you wake up,"
Even though we were miles and miles away, he still could read me like a book.
He knew exactly when I was lying and pretending to be okay when I wasn’t.
My head was throbbing like crazy and secretly I was wishing I could go back to sleep.
"You are the best fiancée in the world,"I smiled sheepishly and said, "I love you and I miss you like crazy,"
"I love you too, baby girl.I can’t wait to see you in a couple of weeks,"
he flashed me his mega-watt smile, and my finger went to touch his lips on the screen.
"I can't wait to see you too.It's gonna be the best Thanksgiving ever,"I yawned.
