Hanging up, Emma texted Daniel the address, which was Rachel's home. They were gonna discuss the matter overnight together.
Rachel was already feeling heartbroken and confused as to why Ricky would do such a thing.
Hey, look, we still don't know if it's your Ricky Dani that was talking about.
Come on, Emma, what are the odds that it isn't? Ricky works in the JR company, and I don't know; he never spoke of his work, just that he works in finance.
Okay, let's just get through the day and see what Dani has to say, and is it the same Ricky? If it is well, let's come to that problem if it's him.
The Day felt so long for Rachel during lunch. Rachel's phone started buzzing nonstop. She was continuously avoiding the call.
Amm, Rachel, your phone it's been ringing for ages. Why aren't you answering? Who is it?
It's Ricky. I don't know what to say if I answer it.
But if you don't, he's gonna keep ringing, and he might call our hotline, which obviously we have to answer. Just see what he wants.
Seeing Emma's point, Rachel decided to answer.
Hi babe
Oh my goodness, Rachel, what took you so long to answer? Do you know how long I've been calling you?
Sorry, babe, I was just checking in a customer, so you know the process when you don't book beforehand.
Ya ya whatever, what are you doing now?
Ammmmm, I just started having lunch with Emma, why?
Listen about last night since I was working late and missed our date. What do you say we make it up tonight? I will take you somewhere nice.
Rachel didn't know whether to say yes or no. Emma, on the other hand, slid her hand across her neck, signalling her to deny the offer.
Hello Rachel, babe, you there? What do you say?
mmmmmm babe, not today, I promised mom I will be home for a special meal she's gonna prepare, I don't wanna hurt her, you know, might affect her condition. Maybe another time.
Okay then, bye.
Bye.
What? No, I LOVE YOU, BABE, today?
Love you, babe.
Okay bye.
As soon as the conversation ended, Emma sighed What the hell was that supposed to mean? The part working all night and wanting to make up for last night. Something is really out of place.
Well, let's see after tonight. My head hurts when I think about it, even.
Let's just get through the day. Don't worry, I will be right with you.
Rachel felt as if the day were a year; it was as if it were never-ending. With Emma helping her through the daily work, finally, they reached the hour to punch out. With a loud sigh, Rachel said after stepping out of the hotel premises.
Finally, I can go home. You can wash up at my place and stay the night, too. You have left some of your clothes in case you wanna stay at my place, I haven't moved them.
Thanks, Rachel. I was wondering how long it would take and if there would be any transport left.
Gosh, Emma, do you think I will let you out alone at midnight even if this is a safe area? No way you are gonna stay in, like it or not.
Good, good. I also wanted to see how Mrs Evens was doing, and was also wondering when we can have a sleepover. Guess today is gonna be an interesting sleepover.
Ya, I doubt that. Interesting, or maybe rephrase it to heartbreaking.
Emma and Rachel decided to get some snacks for the night. Having several bags of snacks and beer cans, they took a cab. After arriving at Rachel's home, Rachel entered, shouting as usual.
MOM IM HOME, WHERE ARE YOU?
Mrs Evans, who was coming out of the kitchen, stopped at the sight of the amount of snacks her daughter had brought into the house.
What have I told you about junk food, Rachel? Are you planning on eating all those by yourself?
Hi, Mrs Evans was Emma's joyful tone, pulling her into a huge hug. Don't worry, she's not gonna eat them all alone; my cousin and I will be helping her.
I didn't understand that. Are you staying over tonight?
Emma shouted, saying YES YES, we are having a sleepover. It was sudden; we didn't plan it initially, but later decided to have one. Only my cousin would be leaving after sometime time staying.
Oh, okay then, I'd better get to work. What would you girls like to eat?
Amm, actually, it's two girls and one boy, Mom.
What? What do you mean, one boy?
My cousin is a he, not a she, Mrs Evens. he sorta lost his parents long ago and had no contact with any family till recently, and he wanted to hang out at my place, but I live alone, so one boy, one girl, even cousins is gonna be weird.
So I said, since you are like a mom to her, she can bring him over to our place, kind of like a cousin gathering.
Hmmm, well, as long as he behaves, he can stay.
Thanks, Mom. We are gonna wash up, and we will come down soon.
Emma, I can't believe I lied to my mom right now about your cousin. I don't know how I'm gonna live with that, and what if she catches us?
Lighten up, girl who said I lied, it was all true. Daniel lost his parents long ago, and he came to my apartment to spend some time as family but i declined because it would be weaird for us to be alone so if your mom confronts daniel he will give the same reason we gave now only I need to call him and tell him you asked him to come here because your mom is here to supervise.
Wow, that's great, although next time I would like to know beforehand.
