Emma: Yes, but only because this time I had to get my hands dirty.In case you haven’t seen the news, I’m in a ton of articles and pictures with Colton, which Mark thinks are legit.
Chantal: So the facade is working, which is a good thing then.God, I love your life.You’re like a secret agent, so mysterious.
Emma: Yeah, I’m a secret agent who’s falling apart.
Chantal: Look, these insecurities this man has was going to be the downfall of your relationship anyway.No successful happy, and I stress happy, relationship would have one of the couples being this way.It’s not a bad thing you two are no longer together.This is a good thing Emma.Now, tell me, how is it going with Colton?
Emma: Well, I decided not to allow our past to co-mingle with this project, and I was staying focused on the task at hand.It was going fine, until….
Chantal: Until what?
Emma: Until the other night, and then again this morning
Emma: I broke down after one of the events and told him about my breakup.I needed someone to talk to, and he just happened to be there when I was on the cusp of a breakdown.He kissed me, and then I kissed him, only he kissed me in the privacy of his own home, I kissed him during this morning’s interview I’d set up which means there are legitimate images of us kissing that will be all over the media.
Chantal: YOU WHAT?
Chantal: *running to check socials*
Emma: Oh god, no, don’t do that, I haven’t even looked yet.GAHHHHH
Emma: I know, I shouldn’t have, and I have no idea what I was thinking when I did it, but I did and…
Chantal: What happened during the kiss this morning?
Emma: *whispers* He kissed me back
Chantal: eeeepppp….and
Emma: I was afraid you were going to ask me that.
Chantal: Well?
Emma: It was amazing.The worst part is that it was amazing in front of all kinds of people, but it was the same amazing as it had been behind closed doors.
Chantal: Do you think this could lead to something more?
Emma: It was a kiss…okay two kisses, and while they were wonderful…
I tapped the edge of my phone, trying to figure out what I wanted to say, when my phone pinged.
Chantal: I think you should find out.
Emma: Oh god no.
Chantal: Why not?
Emma: Because I’m not that person anymore
Chantal: Bullshit, until you met Mark, out of all the guys you dated, all you did was talk about what a loss Colton Fox was when you’d break up with them, and how you wished you could have a second chance.
Emma: Chantal, I did not.
Chantal: You did.Please do yourself this one favor and stop lying to yourself.Perhaps this is life’s way of giving you both a second chance.
Emma: You have no clue what you’re talking about.Colton would never be interested in a girl like me.
Chantal: Why not?He kissed you didn’t he?
