Can Love Survive?

It was a day like no other, Rick was sitting on his bed thinking about what to say to Emily. The last time they texted they had a huge fight; he had gotten mad at her for sexting another guy. He missed her though.

On the other side of the phone, there was Emily looking at her phone hoping for a text. She missed talking to Rick so much, it had only been two days but it felt like weeks had passed. She hadn’t send him anything because she didn’t want to annoy him.

Rick kept looking at his phone hoping something would come to his mind;

Emily felt so guilty for what she did, he was the only one she wanted to talk to.

They could talk for hours, thinking it were just seconds passing by. They cared about each other, they loved each other. They promised to take care of each other. To make sure both of them were happy.

Rick thought of Emily when suddenly a message popped up, it was her.

Emily was sitting at the edge of her bed, and then she had enough of it she missed him too much. She send him a text.

The text was so simple but it meant so much to both of them.

Emily: Hi Rick

Rick: hey Emily

She smiled and send him another text.

He was so happy to receive a text for her, his smile hadn’t been that big in four days.

Emily: I’m sorry for what I did, please forgive me.

Rick: I really want to but you lied to me.

Emily: I didn’t mean to, please talking to you is my favorite thing in the world.

Rick: I love talking to you to but I don’t know if I can trust you.

Emily: Please give me one more change. I have deleted every guy I had on all my social medias except for my friends. I can’t lose you, please.

He started to break and threw his phone to the side.

Rick: …..

*pling* another message from her

Emily: I understand it, it hurts like hell only to think about letting you go but I understand

Rick: why do you keep talking about leaving. I never said I wanted you to leave, you are the best thing that has happened this year.

Emily: Are you messing with me?

Rick: do you even know me?!?! I would never do that

Emily: sorry, I just couldn’t believe that after what I did you still are so nice.

Rick: what you did isn’t who you are. And that isn’t what I am in love with.

Emily: does that mean you will give me another change?

She waited and she waited for a reply when it finally came. It was the sweetest thing she had ever gotten.

Rick: I really want to keep cheering you on in life, but that isn’t possible if we keep acting so blunt. That is why I will change too, I will not forget what you did but these things have more influence on you then that they have on me. So I’d rather cheer you up then that you’ll feel bad all day. We care about each other and we both know, we will not walk away angry or put the other on ignore. If you are sick and powerless I have to be strong. And the same way around, if we are in a relationship we are a team and even though nothing is official it does feel like it. It feels as if you are my partner in crime. I know that if I get mad I can be really aggressive but in those situations I will just walk away, until I am calmed down enough that we can have a normal talk because I know if I’ll hit you in those moments there is no coming back. I have no problem if we have a huge fight, as long as in the end of the night we will be in bed together having amazing make up sex, so you will know how much I need you. I am losing the point here, what I mean is an argument, a fight or a disagreement does not make me love you any less. Another thing I still can’t believe you think you are fat, you just have a little more belly fat but that is one of the things I like so much, just like you boobs; what did your mom give you as a baby? You’re body makes me so horny, I mean it when I say I love your legs they are so strong.

Emily: OMFG you really mean all that.

Rick: yes of course I do.

Emily: I love you so much. And I don’t ever want to stop talking to you.

Rick: good I didn’t plan on doing that anytime soon. Is it okay if I come over?

Emily: yes of course.

Rick: okay see you in a few minutes

Emily: see you I a bit

She laid on bed, put her phone down and put her face in her pillow and screamed.

“Omg, omg, omg he is coming over. “

It would be the first that he would be at her house.

He was half way done typing his text, when he started to put on his shoes. He was so excited he hadn’t seen her in a week. He genuinely missed her, he put on his jacket as fast as he possibly could.

They loved each other so much, they had never told each other straight forward but they knew they did.

Minutes past she was so nervous, what if he got mad at her again.

He’d never ran so fast to the bus, he wanted to see her so badly. He wanted to hug her, to kiss her, to talk to her, he just wanted to be with her.

He jumped out of the bus as soon as the doors opened, and sprinted to her house. When he stood there in front of her door, he was too scared to ring the bell.

She heard the bus arrive at the end of the street, she didn’t know what bus he had taken but she knew he was in this one. Then she saw him sprint into her front yard, right to the door but he didn’t ring the bell.

What are you doing idiot, just ring the doorbell. He said to himself.

She went downstairs and stood in front of the door he couldn’t see her from there. She heard him talk to himself and laugh a bit too loud so he could hear her.

He heard her cute little giggle for the first time in three weeks and he was amazed by how it made him feel if he would never heard it again.

They started a conversation through the door because he was too scared to ask her to open it, and she was too scared to open it for him.

Rick: hey

Emily: hey

Rick: could you open the door?

Emily: yes of course, sorry

She opens the door and sees him

He hears the door unlock and open, there she was as beautiful as always with a big smile

There he was after all those weeks, he still got his bed hair but he looked so handsome

They looked each other in the eye and hugged so tight, as if it was for the first time

She let him in and asked him if he wanted something to drink

He closed the door behind him and followed her into the kitchen. She poured him a glass of water.

Rick: so what are we going to do? Watch a movie? Talk? Just lay in bed and cuddle?

Emily: what about we do all of those things

She was so happy he was there

He wanted to tell her so bad but he was scared of what she would say

Emily: is everything okay?

Rick: yes why?

Emily: you have this really serious look on your face

Rick: oowh yeah it’s because I want to tell you something but I’m scared of what you will say

Emily: what is it?

Rick: I’m scared you’ll want me to leave, and I want to stay with you for as long as I can

Emily: what’s wrong, you’re scaring me

Rick: I love you and I never want you to leave me

Emily: I love you too and I would never leave

She grabbed his face and kissed him

While they were kissing he smiled, he couldn’t believe he said it and that she said it back

Once they were done they went upstairs and laid down in bed

Emily: so what movie did you want to watch? Or shall we take a nap?

Rick: I really want to take a nap with you

Emily: then let’s go take a nap

They took a two hour nap in each other’s arms, when the woke up…

She woke up because of the sound of an arriving car

Emily: oowh no my mom is home and I forgot to tell that you’re here

He shot up

Rick: she knows we wouldn’t do anything she doesn’t want us too.

Emily: I guess so

He grabbed her and kissed her while he was still half asleep

Rick: can we just stay here?

Emily: yeah I think we can my mom will come upstairs though

Rick: that’s okay

Mom parks her car and puts the groceries in the kitchen.

Mom: hey honey I’m home

Emily: hi mom

Rick: hello miss. Carter

Mom: WHAT THE F**K IS RICK DOING HERE!!!!!!!!

Emily: sorry I forgot to ask if he could come over but we were texting and he asked and of course I said yes

Rick: I’m sorry miss. Carter, I should have called you first. Please don’t kick me out

Mom comes upstairs and walks in the room

Mom: Rick honey I was just kidding

Rick: Miss Carter you scared the hell out of me

Mom: you know I don’t mind you two being together. You are so cute, just stay in bed I will call you downstairs

Emily: thank you mom

Rick: thank you miss. Carter

Mom: no problem sweeties

They laughed how was it possible her mom just went and made them dinner

Emily got close to him again

He smiled and held her close, he couldn’t be more happy

Emily: that went different than I expected *laughs*

Omg how can I be so lucky to have a girl like her

Rick: What did you think what would happen then?

Emily: I’m surprised she didn’t got mad and kicked you out

Rick: Like I always tell you parents love me

Emily: not only parents love you

She grabs his face and kisses him

Rick: How did I get so lucky

She starts blushing and giggling

He smiles

Rick: Why are you so cute?

Emily: I’m not cute and I am the lucky one in this relationship

He hides his face in the pillow

Rick: Stop it I don’t want you to see me blush like that

Emily: but it is so cute

Mom: dinner is ready!!!

Emily: we’re coming

They went down stairs and sat on the table
