The World That I Wanted || Eisenstone
Three months was such a long time. Though, given everything they had been through, it was the calmest few months they’d had in a long time. The break up, the rehab, moving in- moving out- moving back in, it was a lot in a short space off time. She only wished it were as calm but with him not working so much. Of course, she didn’t grumble. It’s what they both did. She just missed him.
Jesse brought his cats to move into the apartment with him, so while he was away, at least she had some company. Though they seemed a lot more aloof with her than normal she noticed as she was stroking one sat on the sofa with some daytime show on on the background. “Do you miss your daddy?” She asked stroking from the top of it’s head to the tip of it’s tail. That stroke seemed like one too much, and she was off the sofa and out the door before Emma could even grumble.
Thankfully, her phone buzzed and her mood completely changed seeing it was Jesse that was flashing up in front of a cheesy photo of the two of them as the background. Emma made a mental note to change that as she answered the call and paced as they spoke.
“I’m actually at the airport trying to grab a cab or something resembling a means of transport.”
Her smile grew wider as she leaned on the back windowsill which looked over their garden. After muttering something about the shed she was attempting to build- but had the murder scene evidence right in front of her eyes, so quickly got off the subject- She offered to pick him up in the truck her dad lent her for moving thing for the shed. Emma made another mental note to give the truck back too. She’d call someone in to build the shed. She’d done more damage than good by now.
Clicking off the phone, she grabbed the keys to the car, and bent down to stroke Jesse’s cat again. “Dad’s coming home!” Her excitement burst as she made a noise and skipped quickly down the stairs and into the truck. Thankfully, the airport wasn’t too far away. It was just a pain in the ass with traffic, but still not worth the walk. Digging through the drivers side pocket for a certain cassette since the car didn’t have a CD port or AUX leads, she pulled out Spice Girls. The only one she kept from childhood that was actually hers. Putting in it, she sang along loud with the windows down going- Tops- 30 miles an hour behind traffic.
Finally, she reached the airport. Parking as close as she could, she hopped out the car and started lightly jogging over to the doors. Before she got there, she was the signs of curly hair, lost expressions and a few people around him like flies. As they left, she ran over to him again, locking eyes before throwing her arms around his neck and holding him for a minute before pulling back to kiss his lips lightly. “Hi Snowflake.”
