CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

"Halley! I'm so glad we finally got to meet up!" Emília hugged her classmate, Halley Benton. The two met at a coffee shop right outside the Bell Center, called café à emporter.
"Yes! I literally couldn't wait for the day," She smiled and hugged back, "You know, my friend and roommate, Selina, keeps talking about you, how you're so great and all. She says you two are really close."
Emília's eyebrows raised at the mention of her ex-best friend as she would call it, confused on why she would say that, "Does she now?"
"Yeah, we've known each other for a year or two, and she's always saying great things about you!" Her face told her that she didn't know what happened between the two, so she didn't even tell her, "Ready to start working?"
•☆•
Emília learned that Halley was a really nice and sweet girl. She's really well-mannered, and she was sure she couldn't hurt a fly. She was also very beautiful. Her long black hair was pin straight and healthy without a single split end in sight. Her eyes were dark, but welcoming and warm. If I was a lesbian, I'd tap that. But only if I was a lesbian.
"It's been amazing working with you, Em. I hope we can finish the second half together sometime." Her voice was soft and nice, like a beautiful melody hitting your ear.
"I must say the same. You're a really sweet girl, Hal." Emília returned the smile that the older girl gave her. They bid their farewells and agreed to meet again in the near future.
When Emília got home, she was lonely. The company was nice, really nice after almost a week of being all alone in the apartment. Juraj went for a road trip. He was coming home later today, but his girlfriend was desperate for his comfort.

Emília watched the clock hands move at the airport while waiting for Juraj. The ten minutes she waited for seemed like an eternity to her, dragging on forever and ever.
When she finally saw him, she ran up to him, calling for him, "Baby!" She threw herself at him, "I missed you so much!" She placed tiny kisses all over his face.
"We were texting like an hour ago." He quietly chuckled, holding her up with one arm by her waist, the other still holding his suitcase.
"Hey, Emília!" Arber spoke up from beside the girl's boyfriend. All the boys looked equally tired and exhausted. Being on a four game road trip and losing all of them couldn't have been easy. But for the Canadiens, their playoff chances were long gone, so it didn't matter as much to them.
"Hi, Arber, Kaiden. Nice to see you both." She smiled.
"So we don't hate each other anymore? Great." Kaiden grinned back at her. They exchanged a few words before they left the airport.
Once they got home, Juraj snuggled up into his girlfriend's collarbone, pressing tiny kisses on it while whispering sweet nothings.
"God, I missed you so much." He said between kisses, holding her waist tight as if she were mere inches from slipping away from him.
"I missed you too, but hey, it's the end of the season, and now we're going to have a ton of time to spend together," Juraj awkwardly laughed, "Why'd you laugh?"
"I haven't told you yet? I'm going back home a few days after the season ends... You know... For the championships." He looked up at the girl whose face was plastered in disbelief.
"But... We are home." She frowned, wrapping her arms around the boy's shoulders and back infinitely tighter.
"I mean back to Slovakia. It's right across the border."
"Oh." She sighed.
"You can come with me, love. Meet my parents, sister, you know." He smiled, trying to stay optimistic, but they both knew it would be hard to be apart for over a month halfway across the globe, and the thought of meeting his parents terrified her.
"Yeah... Sounds great." He noticed the somber expression on her face. Her eyes were no longer shining brightly like all the stars in the night sky, and her smile was gone, replaced by a thin line on her lips.
He moved up and held her even closer somehow, kissing her forehead repeatedly, "I know I don't say this often, but I want you to know that I love you so much, Emília."
The corners of her mouth went slightly up, showcasing a tiny grin. She looked up at him and whispered, "I love you so so much more, Juraj. You're my whole world."
