I woke to someone jumping up and down on my bed. Then I felt little lips kiss my forehead. "Good Morning Mummy" a little voice said. As soon as I felt this little kiss I quickly woke up and smiled at her. I then quickly grabbed her and threw her on the bed and tickled her. Ava giggled so much she loved playing tickles but she wasn't very good at tickling me back then as her little fingers where too soft.
I then realized that that Adam was coming over and we were going out on a date. I immediately got up and organised breakfast for Ava and everyone else. Ava loved eggs on toast so that's what we were having. As we were eating and talking the phone rang. I wanted to run over and get it but at the same time I didn't want it to be Adam canceling our date. "Emily, are you going to get it, it's probably for you" Tina said as a matter of fact. "Can you get it!" I said almost begging.
Tina got up and answered it after she said hello she looked directly at me and held the phone out with a face that said I told you so. I was so nervous I really didn't want to take the phone. I did though. Tina was right it was Adam. "Hi Emily it's Adam" he said and all I could think is who else would it be lol. It was as if he didn't think I would know who it was or that I had men ringing me all the time. Adam said he would be over in an hour and just wanted to make sure I was ready to go. We said goodbye and as I hung up the phone I had a huge sigh of relief. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. "Mummies going out for a little while Ava" were the first words I managed. "Ok mummy have fun" she replied. "He's going to be here in an hour Tina, I have to go get ready. Are you sure it's ok for you to watch Ava?" I asked. Tina smiled "go! Get ready! You don't want to be late" she said with a smile on her face. She really wanted me to be happy. I was so lucky to have her as a cousin.
I only had 1 hour to make myself look irresistible and I am sure I won't come anywhere near it, I thought to myself. I straighten my hair the old way using only a hair drier (I wish we had irons back then). I did my make up and then I go dressed. I never used to get dressed before doing my makeup as I believed that you never look good in anything without your face on (weird I know but it was true for me) I rarely changed my clothes when I got ready this way. Finally after 45 minutes (record time) I was ready. I walked out to the dining room. " you look pretty mummy" Ava said. I thanked her and kissed her on the cheek "you have lipstick cheeks" I said giggling at her as I knew what was to follow "yuck mummy, you always do that" she said as she had many time before. I sat down and chatted with Tina and Ava for a little while then there was a knock at the door. My heart jumped and so did I.
Did I look ok?
Was I too dressed up?
Would he like me?
All the questions running through my head at the time. I froze, I couldn't move. Tina got up and went to the door. I heard voices and knew it was Adam. "Emily! It's for you" Tina yelled whilst guarding the doorway. I stood up straightened myself up and kissed Ava. "Be good for Aunty Tina Ava" I said "I will mummy" she responded with a smile. I really didn't need to say it because she was always good for Tina. I walked to the door and saw that Tina had not let Adam in and the door was only half opened so he really couldn't see me coming. When I reached the door it took all my strength to open the door. I looked out he was in a surf shirt and jeans. Smart casual is how I would describe his dress. We said hi and I hugged Tina and said thank you to her and told her I loved her.
As we got to the car I went to open the door and he run up and opened the door for me. I was a bit shocked as I have always opened the door for myself, it felt nice though. I got in and put my seatbelt on. I hadn't paid much attention to his car the last time I was in it but it was a V8 and I later found out it was an ex pursuit car for the police. It was very comfortable though I could stop squirming for the first 10 minutes or so. We drove north. Adam started talking to me like we had know each other forever. "You look more beautiful today than you did the other night and that I can not believe" he said to me. I blushed and all I managed was "you look nice too" then I thought to myself 'you look nice! Really! Couldn't you come up with something better' but Adam just smiled and me and continued talking. Time did not seem to exist during the drive as before I knew it we were at Fremantle and he had organised for us to have a lovely seafood lunch.
During lunch we talked about everything then he dropped a bombshell "I have to tell you something" he said and it was in a hushed voice. My mind raced.
What could it be?
Is he married?
Does he have kids?
I didn't say anything I just looked at him. "Emily I really like you" he said and at this moment I thought 'BUT'
"I like you too Adam" replied holding back what I was thinking. " I have been dating someone for a few months" my thoughts then interrupted him and took over.. "But since the moment I met you I felt a spark that I have never felt before with anyone" he continued. "Oh!" I said when I wanted to say WTF, that's wrong I can't believe I am the other woman, I can't do that to someone, no way never. " she is in Victoria and has no plan of being posted her" he said. "So she is I the navy" I asked. "Yep she is but she has no plans to come here and it isn't going to work" he said. Well I didn't know what to say but I managed something "Adam I really like you and would like to see where this could go but I can't be the other woman, I can't be with you if you are with someone else" well it took a lot to say that as I really did like him. We sat for a while and eat our meal the he looked at me. He reached over and grabbed my hand "I am going to break it off with her, I want to see where this could go" he said to me. I told him I couldn't see him until he had as I couldn't be the one.. I never wanted to do that to anyone as I had been there and it wasn't good. The only thing is that they had only been together 3 months and she wasn't looking at moving to WA so I suppose it would be difficult to make it work.
As we got in to the car Adam picked up his phone and then I heard him on the phone. He was talking to her. They spoke for a while then he told her that he didn't think it would work with her there and him here. He was really caring when speaking to her and I could see it was hurting him. I could also hear her on the end of the phone and she was in tears. They talked for over an hour and I could hear her begging him as they had said last time they talked that they could flight and see each other once a month etc or so I made out from what little I could hear. I was feeling really uncomfortable, I lie I felt a lot uncomfortable.
The conversation didn't seem to go well. Adam finally hung up the phone and started his car. We drove back in silence and I didn't want to break this silence as he probably needed it. Just as we pulled in to my driveway Adam stopped the car and put his hand on my leg. "Emily I'm sorry you had to hear that and I'm sorry I haven't talked all the way back but I didn't want to hurt her she is a really nice person but you must know that what I feel when I'm with you is different, I have never felt this ever" he then leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Can I call you later?" He asked. " ok and Adam thanks for a lovely lunch it was nice". I then exits the car and walked inside.
What as going on.....
