The sprinkling rain dropped down coating the footpath and road with wetness. Emma was nervous as she surveyed the area; her mind ran a mile a minute with different case scenarios. There were patches of water in places on the footpath and the rain had disturbed some oil spills on the road; making them more of a hazard then they were before. Just to the right there where two girls, one of them had a remote controlled shark while the dark haired one was wishing her a happy birthday continuously. The blonde looked past that as she heard Jenny say something to her. She tightened her grip on the brunette as an ambulance pulled up into the bay; she took a step onto the road.
Emma looked both ways before she walked over to the car. The rain made both of their shirts slightly wet and see-through. She opened the back door and helped Jenny into the car. It was warm and Jenny sighed in relief as Emma slid into the seat next to her. The brunette felt the car rumble as it started to move forward; they both did up their seatbelts. She looked at the driver’s seat and studied Emma’s mother. The older lady had dark blonde hair; tied up in a lose bun, green eyes from what she could see from the rear view mirror and she had some very fine age lines showing.
“Jenny dear, how are you feeling?” Jenny was pulled out of her thoughts as she heard Emma’s mum speak to her.
“I’m doing fine Ma’am, just a bit tired and sore,” she answered truthfully, holding her right arm close to her.
“Please call me Melanie.” She smiled as she looked at Jenny in the rear view mirror. “When we get back home you can rest sweetie. Emma will help you get settled in,” Melanie said turning the corner.
Jenny looked out of the window as she played with the top of the cast on her right arm. It was dark, wet and miserable as she watched the scenery pass-by. She couldn’t see much but the sound of the rain falling onto the ground in an even beat was making her feel sleepy. The car moving evenly along the road keeping the same speed almost continuously helped Jenny to drift off into a light sleep. The car pulled up into the driveway and as the engine turned off it brought Jenny out of her light sleep and made her look around the interior lazily. She blinked a few times before waking up enough to get out of the car; helped by Emma.
The path outside of Emma’s home was made of uneven stones making the blonde worry as she supported Jenny to the door; which her mother had opened. Inside the house was warm and cosy. It was very well lived in and was decorated by many pictures of children at different ages. There were pictures of two older girls who look like Emma, Emma herself and some of a younger boy about twelve years old.
Emma helped Jenny over to the lounge as she got comfortable. The front door creaked open softly as Melanie came in carrying Jenny’s bag of clothes Emma had packed for her. “Emma, can you please take this up to your room sweetie,” she handed the bag to Emma; watching her go up the stairs as she turned to face Jenny.
“I know it’s a bit late and all but I am going to cook something for dinner. Is there anything you would like sweetie?” Melanie asked Jenny.
“I could eat anything at the moment,” Jenny responded smiling at the older lady trying not to yawn.
“Okay then sweetie. When Emma comes down she can show you up to her room and you can rest for a while. You seem very tired dear,” She walked into the kitchen giving Jenny no say in the matter.
A few minutes later Emma started to come down the stairs; she dropped down onto each of them making a dull thudding sound as it slightly echoed. She looked around and saw Jenny on the lounge smiling at her; she could hear her mother in the kitchen busily preparing dinner. Her stomach grumbled as the thought of food crossed her mind. The blonde saw her girlfriend yawn as the distinct voice of her mother floated through the room. “Emma; please show Jenny up to your room. She can rest until dinner time,” Emma walked over to Jenny while replying to her mum; Jenny got up as Emma started to carefully help her up the stairs making sure she did nothing too quickly.
“Emma, you can stop acting as though I’m made of glass. I’m not going to break walking up stairs,” Jenny said affectionately as she saw Emma’s ears turn red and her mouth open and shut as if she was looking for something to say. “Where is your room, Emma?” Jenny asked helping Emma out by not making her think of a response to her last comment.
“It’s the second door on the right down the hallway,” she said reaching the top of the staircase and leading Jenny to her room.
The blonde pushed the door open letting Jenny enter the room before her as she lead her over to the bed. Jenny looked around Emma’s room for the first time whilst being sat down. She was amazed at how clean and organised it was; she had thought that Emma’s room would be messy. There was a gym bag at the end of the bed; it took her a few minutes to realise who the bag belonged to before she looked up at Emma and asked.
“Emma, why is Ben’s gym bag here?”
“Um, well today I went over to your house and got you some stuff I thought you would need if you were going to be staying in the hospital. There are only a few changes of clothes and some toiletries. I had to pack you the bare essentials. I was going to pack more but then I thought against it,” Emma’s eyes found Jenny’s as she smiled at her.
“Thank you Emma, that’s really sweet,” Jenny said watching Emma walk over to the bag.
“I can unpack it for you. The two top draws are empty. I cleaned them out earlier,” Emma said as she unzipped the bag and placed most of the clothing in the second draw, leaving the top one exclusively for her matching panties and bras.
The blonde felt a soft tug on the back of her shirt; it was Jenny. She turned to her and kissed her softly on the lips, enjoying the sensation it created. The brunette scooted over a bit on the bed so Emma could lye next to her. Emma wrapped her arms around Jenny being careful of her broken wrist as they cuddled contently waiting for dinner to be ready. Emma’s fingers slowly ran up and down Jenny’s arm making her snuggle her face into Emma’s neck. The blonde placed a soft kiss on her girlfriend’s temple as they relished in the feeling of being close.
Three knocks on the door startled them out of their bliss as they heard Melanie call out to them; dinner was ready. Emma helped Jenny on the stairs once more as they entered the kitchen which had been set up with three dinner plates. Jenny looked around the room, it was of medium size, there were a few pictures scattered on the fridge held up by homemade ceramic magnets, the smell coming from the food was very pleasant to her as her stomach rumbled in anticipation. The brunette felt a hand on her lower back as Emma motioned her to sit down at the table.
Jenny was nervous to be around Emma’s mother and having to spend dinner with the older woman had Jenny squirming in her seat slightly. Melanie looked at Jenny and smiled at her; she had the same smile as Emma. They all started to eat; Jenny wasn’t use to eating with her left hand so it was amusing to watch her attempt to do it. Only some soft giggles from Emma could heard.
“So tell me how you two met?” the silence was broken as blue eyes met hazel.
Jenny started to speak as she put her fork down “We met at school when I moved here from London. I was new and I was in one of Emma’s classes, I sat next to her on my first day. At the beginning we didn’t exactly see eye to eye at times and I kept on forgetting her name but she was always nice to me and tried to help me out whenever needed. We had a few disagreements but we moved past them especially when we had our strike. We had another few hurdles in the middle but here we are today,” she reached over and held Emma’s hand. “We love each other and I think that nothing can come between us and if it does we will sort our way through it,” the brunette squeezed Emma’s hand while making eye contact with her and smiling; the dimple on her cheek showing.
“That’s adorable, I’m glad you both see eye to eye now. You two seem very good for each other; Emma has had a smile on her face almost all the time in the last few months. I bet it was because of you,” Melanie looked at Emma, her daughters ears were red.
“Mum,” Emma complained groaning as both her mother and Jenny laughed.
The rest of dinner went smoothly, Jenny was listening to Melanie tell stories about Emma as a child and hearing Emma complain about them while watching her go bright red. Jenny yawned slightly muffling it with her arm as Melanie’s eyes fell on her.
“I think it’s time someone went to rest,” Melanie said looking at Jenny. “Emma could you please help her up to your room, then come do the dishes.”
“Okay Mum,” Emma helped Jenny up to the bedroom then joined her mother in the kitchen. The sink was already full of dirty dishes as her mother started to clean them; stacking them on the side. Emma took a tea-towel and started to dry them.
“Jenny is a very lovely girl, hun,” Melanie said smiling affectionately at her daughter.
“Thanks Mum, she is. I love her a lot,” Emma said embarrassed; telling her mother that.
“I can see it when you look at each dear. Good catch there Em, she’s a keeper,” Melanie winked at Emma causing her daughter to laugh.
The washing and drying up was done, it felt like a weight was lifted off Emma’s chest as she could talk about Jenny with her mother without having to worry about anything. The blonde was happy that her father had taken her siblings out camping for the week. Emma could deal with only one family member at a time meeting her girlfriend. It was getting late and Emma was tired. She had a quick shower then joined Jenny in the bedroom.
Jenny was sleeping peacefully on her left side with a pillow propped under her broken wrist. Emma crawled into the bed and cuddled her from behind. Jenny smelt good as the blonde brought Jenny closer to herself, she was tired and sleep soon overtook her as she dreamed away into the night.
---
The sound of a phone vibrating and ringing brought Emma out of her sleep. Jenny was still sleeping as Emma jumped up to stop the sound of the phone from waking the brunette. She looked at the caller ID and saw ‘Sophie’. She went outside the room before hitting answer.
“Hello, Sophie. It’s Emma,” she said softly into the receiver.
“Emma the graffiti is looking at me oddly, I think it’s moving closer towards me, it looks hungry.”
“Sophie, were are you, do you want me to come help you?” Emma asked knowing it would be what Jenny would want her to do.
“If you can stop the graffiti from looking at me, I’m under the walkway bridge,” Sophie said as she moved the phone away from her and hung it up.
Emma walked back into the bedroom; Jenny was still sleeping, her even breaths soothing the blonde. She walked over to her desk and picked up a pen and piece of paper. She wrote down a note for Jenny ‘Sophie called, gone to help. Be back soon. Love you. Emma.’
Emma went down to the kitchen and got a water bottle and the first aid kit from the top of the fridge. She didn’t know what to expect with Sophie so she was going to be ready for anything. She put them into her backpack and was about to leave. She saw her reflection in the window by the door; she was still in her pink panther pyjamas. The blonde quickly got changed and grabbed a banana of the table and went on the search for Sophie.
