Emma
Part 1 "Messy Mouthful"
Emma messed up royally. She couldn't keep her plump lips shut about her new relationship with Marley. Last Tuesday Emma was discussing intimate private details about their new romance with her best friend. Tragedy struck when Emma found out Marley had been standing on the other side of the paper thin walls the entire time!
Embarrassment scorched Emma's face like wildfires catching thicket. She tried to back peddle from the over exposing conversation but could feel Marley's anger start to boil.
"You were talking about me to her?" Marley sounded hurt while she interrogated Emma.
"I, I - " Emma started fumbling over her words but knew lies would be futile. "I did and I'm sorry".
"How could you?" Marley asked as her eyes filled with tears begging to be released from the hot coils of her pain.
Emma reached out for Marley's hand instinctively to soothe her wrong doings. Marley instantly flinched out of the way leaving Emma's hand lingering lonely in the air. She started to turn away from Emma and shield herself from the perpetrator.
"Marley I'm really sorry. It was wrong of me to talk about you to my best friend. Please tell me what I can do for you to forgive me."
Marley stopped in her tracks as she heard the pleading in Emma's voice giving her pause. Emma seized her chance and took a step closer. She gently traced her fingers in the tips of Marley's curly hair as she spoke low and softly, "Please Marley, let me make it up to you."
Marley turned around to meet Emma's gaze. So many emotions swam in choppy currents between them as words wouldn't do their feelings justice. Marley didn't flinch when Emma tried to squeeze her hand for the second time. She let out a small sigh relaxing the tension out of her tiny frame.
Wordlessly Emma approached her with a soft brush of her lips. Marley kissed her back hesitantly, not sure if she was making the right choice.
