My life : One Step at a time

‘We are leaving tomorrow’ popped a text on Ryan’s phone. ‘Already? how come I am getting to know about this now?’ ‘We both are in the same ship,I just got to hear about it.’ Emma started to pack her bags and thinking of all the things she still had to do, when she heard a knock on the door.  “Harman if it is you go away, you ain’t forgiven.” As she opened the door  “Do you want me to run down an grab Harman?” “Ryan? what are you doing here? come inside.” “I thought I would come help you pack and see perfect timing.” “You didn't have to, I am almost done packing.” “Perfect, I kind of suck at it. How about we eat some ice-cream?” “Sounds like a plan, let me order some.” “Don’t bother I got us ice-cream.” “You know that there is something called room service? we could have ordered for it.” “I know but then one scoop of ice-cream wouldn’t have been enough so I brought us the whole tub.” “I love this weird twisted logic of yours.” They sat in the...

“The breakfast was great, I will catch you guys tonight.” says Ryan who has to leave for work.  “Tonight? why are you not coming this afternoon.” says Emma  “What is happening this afternoon?” “Duh, Harman’s workshop.” “Oh I am so sorry. I forgot about that, but I can’t.  I have a meeting this afternoon.” “It is okay Ryan, you have been to my workshops before it is all the same.” “Harman how dare you, each workshop you conduct is so different than the other one isn't it Jo.” “Yeah I couldn’t agree more to Emma, but sadly even I can't make it I have to go downtown for a conference.” “Really? I guess you are stuck with me Harman.” “Just the way I like it.” In the afternoon Emma puts on the dress Harman had got her for her birthday and then walked towards Harman's room. “Hey you, you are early.” said Harman a little surprised to see that Emma is ready before time. “Don’t look so surprised, I wanted to come here before you got ready. There you go...

'Hey, morning. I am in the lobby. Where are you?' Ryan is talking to Emma on the phone as they all are suppose to meet for breakfast.   ’Hey there, I just came out.' 'Don't tell me you are having breakfast already’ ‘No, no I just came to the beach for a run. I will be back in about 10 minutes you think you will manage?’ ‘Without you? could be difficult but don't worry take your time.’ ‘Why don't you give Harman a call he will keep you company’ ‘I don’t think I need to call him I can see him getting out from the elevator just this minute.’ ‘Awesome, you two have fun see you soon.’ ‘Hey, Harman good morning mate.’ ‘Morning there, so good to see you.’ ‘I was just about to call you for breakfast and here you are.’ ‘Great, Give me a minute let me call Emma and see where she is.’ ‘Don’t bother I just called her she went for a run, will be back in 10 minutes or so.’ ‘Run? this girl has lost her mind the doctors have clearly told her ...

“Ryan? Ryan? are you even listening to what I am saying?” Emma and Ryan are walking back to the parking lot, the rest of the ride went fairly faster than they had hoped. They both talked about things they haven't had a chance discussing before like the places they want to visit, their love for books and music.   “I am listening, it is just that this is nice.” “What is nice?” “Listening to you talk, but God you sure do talk a lot.” “I know right, I am such a delight.” “And super modest as well I can see.” “That I am. Ryan thanks for today it was a beautiful night.” “Miss Emma the night has just started so you can hold on to your thanks, you ain’t getting rid of me so easily.” After lots of arguments Emma finally got her way and Ryan agreed to let her ride the motor cycle again.  “Why we stopping? We ain’t there yet.” Emma sees a bunch of kids playing soccer and she stops.  “Let’s go.” “Go? Where? No way you got to be kidding me.” “Can we pleas...

“See you at 8? - Ryan.” pops a message on Emma’s phone.  “8? I didn't know there were plans to go anywhere.” “There isn’t but remember you owe me one.” “See you at 8, where are we going?” “Now that is a surprise.” “I don’t like surprises.” “Good,you are going to love this one then.” “Who are you smirking at?” asked Harman who notices the sudden change of expression on Emma’s face.  “Nothing important, it’s just. Forget about it.” “Weird as always,I was thinking we could go to an Indian place to eat tonight.” “Tonight? mind if I take a rain check on that,I kind of have plans or something like that.” “For sure, I should have asked. So I will see you tomorrow?” “See you tomorrow.” Getting ready for the evening was fairly easy for Emma she wore the first dress she pulled out of her suitcase,she opted for a high bun. Put on the matching earrings, high heel shoes and she was ready. She thought to herself how fairly simple it was to get ready when she ...

"That was the most fun I have had in a really long time, thank you so much Ryan I owe you one." "You sure? I will take you up on that" "Where have you been? I have been looking every where,I must have called your room,your phone, left you so many messages.” Ryan is interrupted by a worried Harman who had been pacing up and down the lobby just waiting for Emma to return. "So many questions,let’s go through them one by one.  My phone is in the room so I didn't reply and Ryan and I decided to head out really early so I didn't message." "One message Emma it wouldn't have taken too long, this is so not you." "I didn't want to wake you up Harman." "If I may cut in,it is all my fault Harman this was so not planned I am sure Emma didn't mean to get you all worked up." "It is okay, now can we go have breakfast, I am starving." "We already ate,but I would alway...

 ‘Can you never get dressed on time? what is taking you so long.Oh wow.’ Harman was stunned to see how pretty Emma was looking.   ‘I was ready ages ago but thanks to someone I had to go change.’ ‘You look way better in this.’ ‘I know, but why does it even matter? it is just a dinner.’ ‘Just a dinner that we could be late to, so hurry up.’ Harman and Emma are going with Jo for dinner at a suburban restaurant that Jo has been praising all morning. ‘See we made it and see she isn't here, you my friend have managed to reach on time and the world is such a better place now.’ ‘HaHa very funny’.  Harman watches Jo get out of the car he waves while walking towards her  saying, ‘Finally, we have been waiting for you for ages.’  ‘I am so sorry love, it is all Ryan’s fault you know such a lousy driver he is.’ saying that Jo kisses Harman and walks toward Emma to give her a hug.  ‘Jo stop...
