Faith
Emma walked out of the movie theatre with Brennan. Her mind was going a mile a minute. She had finally opened up and let her Psionic abilities see what was right in front of her face the whole time. Brennan was in love with her. She could have kicked herself for not having enough faith in herself and him for that matter.
She just assumed he would never love her because she wasn’t drop dead gorgeous. However, apparently that didn’t mean anything to Brennan.
Emma stopped walking causing Brennan to turn around, “Emma are you ok?”
“Yeah, for the first time in along time.”
“What?”
“There’s something I need to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“I love you.”
“What?” asked Brennan. Did she just say the words that I’ve been longing to hear for months now?
“I love you Brennan.”
“You mean like you love me, like in love with me?”
Emma paused, she doubted herself again. What if she misread Brennan? She turned away from him, not willing to let him see her cry.
Brennan walked to the other side of her and hugged her, “Hey, don’t cry Emma, I didn’t mean it like that. I love you too.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, I was just afraid you meant it as friends only. I didn’t want to say something that I would regret later.”
“Do you regret it?”
“No, I could never regret loving you.”
“I’ve loved you for months now,” said Emma as she wiped away the tears.
“That’s about how long I’ve loved you as well. I just didn’t think you liked me the same way.”
“We need to talk more often,” joked Emma.
“You want to go home?”
“Yeah, I do.”
