Emma had spent the whole night at Isabella’s place talking about her trip and everything that happened.
“So what do you think about Ryan?” asked Isabella.
“Think about Ryan, what is to think in it?”
“Oh come on with the sounds of how your trip went he was nothing but a sweetheart to you. Don't you think he has a thing for you?”
“You are reading too much into this.”
“Don’t tell me you are still struck on Harman?”
“It is not that, Harman is dating Jo and I really like them together but Ryan? I haven't thought about him that way.”
“So why don't you start now? It is never too late?”
“It isn’t but I have decided I can’t settle for something that doesn't ignite that fire in me, if your love is not wild and crazy how is it even love?”
“There we go, the author in you has spoken. You are such a bore.”
“Can you finish you breakfast now? We really need you to get to work.”
While Emma and Bella are walking as fast as they can just to make sure they make it on time Emma’s phone rings.
“Hi Harman, good morning.”
“Hey Baby Elephant, where are you?”
“Rushing to the office and guess what I am late.”
“Tell me something new, by the way we are still meeting for lunch right?”
“Yes yes, we are still on for lunch.I got to go now Harman it is getting a little hard, the whole talking and walking thing.”
“Bye my baby Elephant.”
As Emma took a few more steps her phone rang again.
“Wow Emma, you are Miss popular today.”
“I guess I am.” saying that Emma picks up her phone.
“Hey, good morning.”
“Someone is too chirpy this morning.”
“That I am, sorry may I know who is this?”
“Wow,Emma so much for being your favourite singer.”
“Ryan? Is that you? who's number is it? where are you?”
“Slow down, that is a lot of questions. This is my new number for the time being till I am in Dublin.”
“Dublin? What are you doing here?” As soon as Emma said that Bella stopped and pulled Emma by her hand whispering in her ear “Is that wild and enough?”
Emma gave Bella the stare and tried to concentrate on the call in middle of all the traffic noise around her.
“Yeah, it was all so sudden. I had to discuss a new story with a publisher here in Dublin so I thought what better way than getting him in person.”
“That is amazing, I can't wait to tell Harman about this.”
“Hold your horses missy,I want to surprise him.”
“Even better, we are meeting for lunch today how about then?”
“Perfect, So I will see you’ll at lunch till that time you can think of a gift for me.”
“Okay, Gift what gift?”
“My first time to Dublin gift.”
“Oh yeah, for sure that is a must right. I will see you soon weirdo”
Being back to work was exciting for Emma, she had moved from being a journalist to a columnist before her vacation to Melbourne. The fact that all the columns that she had mailed during her vacation where liked by everyone made her very happy.
“Don’t you think you are going to be late.” said Bella.
“Late for what? There is still time for lunch.”
“What would you ever do without me? The gift dummy for Ryan.”
“Oh god, I forgot about that. Thanks Bella what would I ever do without you?” saying that Emma kissed Bella on her cheek, picked her bag up and rushed outside.
Emma had decided to get Ryan a watch as she has never seen him wearing one. As Emma walked out of the store her phone rang “Think of the devil and the devil calls.”
“The fact that you where thinking about me makes me so happy that I might just let the devil part slide and hello are you planning to send me the address of this restaurant any time soon.”
“Oh god, I completely forgot about it.give me a minute I have their card in my bag somewhere, struggling to find the card Emma was walking across the road she suddenly saw this car coming at high speed towards her that moment her whole body froze and she couldn't register what was happening, on the phone Ryan heard a huge screeching sound he kept calling for Emma’s name but he didn’t get an answer from the other side.
