Evans pov’s

Do you have a girlfriend” she asked staring deeply at me.

“I choked on my spit and stare at her in shocked before feigning coughs.

“Why did she change the topic and how does me having a girlfriend help the matter on hand I wondered staring at her in confusion.

**Coughs**

**Coughs**

“Are you okay” she shrieked and ran to get me a glass of water.

“Here she said and handed me the water

“Thanks” I replied and drank from the glass.

“So do you have a girlfriend” she asked again while I blinked my eyes rapidly wondering why she asked this question..

“Well I used to but not anymore” I said and shrugged my shoulders..

“Why, what happened” she asked further waiting for my response

“Well she didn’t want a broke dude” I said and sighed…

“Oh” she mumbled the last part as she understands what I meant .

“Yeah” I replied not knowing what else to say as the atmosphere became stiffed.

“You know sometimes I just wish” I paused and turn my head to find her staring at me.

“I wish I can change my story and be able to win the heart of the woman I love” I said sadly with my head bowed.

“But I can’t do that without money” I added sighing again as I relaxed my head on the sofa.

She looks elsewhere without saying a word and I wondered what’s going on in her mind.

We both remained silent staring at nothing.

“So you do you have a boyfriend “I asked her after some while breaking the silence.

“Well I told you already” she said smiling and I scratched the back of my head wondering how I could had forgotten so soon.

“That’s because you feel do insecure” my subconscious said and u shut it off immediately.

“Sorry” I said lowly and she chuckled.

“I bet a lot of guy loves you , cause you are a rare gem” I said staring at her in admiration.

“Really rare gem” she said scoffing ..

“Yes” I replied..

“Well you wrong, cause I got my heart broken by a lot of guys” she said sadly.

“They are just after my fame,my wealth, nothing more

“Sometimes I think God created me and he didn’t create my own prince charming” she added with a sad tone.

“Don’t say that” I said to her feeling bad for asking her a question that’s opened so many unhealed wounds.

“I haven’t experienced true love from any man they just love me because if what I have”.

“Is being successful a crime” she asked in tears staring at me and I didn’t know when a tears slid down my eyes but I was quick enough to wipe it off.

“I looked at her sadly I wish I can take her pain away”.

“No, you are the most beautiful, smart and intelligent woman I have ever known” I said holding her palm and brushing it softly.

“No one has ever said such a thing to me” she said and burst into tears while I hugged her tightly .

Emily’s pov’s

When he hugged me I felt saved in his arms.

I felt like all my problem is solved.

I felt this inner peace in my heart, I also felt joy even though it was short lived.

“I need a drink” I said nervously lossening from his grip..

“Yes that a good idea” his said scratching the back of his head .

“But not too much drink” he added laughing nervously while I nodded in agreement..

We went to the bar area in the house and I took a bottle of vodka with two cups.

“You want some” I asked and he nodded his head in affirmation.

So you ready I added staring at Evans as I poured the wine into a glass cup.

“Yeah” he said stretching his hands.

I served him his glass and took mine

“Should we toast to something” he asked winking at me …

“Yeah, cheers to our new friendship” I said smiling at him.

‘ Cheers” he said smiling at me.

“I gulped my drink down at once

“Ahhhhhh” I groned as I felt it effect on my throat.

I guess this is going to be a long night.

“Easy there, you shouldn’t get drunk” okay evans said taking a sip from his drink…

“No, am fine” I said in a dull tone, still refilling my cup with more drink

“Do you know something” I asked evans smiling..

“What?” he asked looking at me confuse..

“You are so cute” I said feeling very dizzy as I gulped down the content in my cup at once

“You are also handsome” I said and touched his face while I giggled like a child as he just stare at me In shocked.

I think am drunk, I don’t know what gibberish am saying.

I took the vodka and poured more into my glass when evans held it stopping me.

“What are you doing” I shrieked hitting him lightly on his chest feeling really dizzy..

“You are drunk emily” he said sighing..

“No am not, am fine” I said excitedly..

“Do you know my parents wants me to get a finacee in two weeks” I said as tears drop from my eyes.

Evans pov’s

“Do you know my parents wants me to get a finacee in two weeks” she said as tears drop from her eyes.

“My life is a mess right now” she said and burp loudly ..

“Ewww Emily” I said covering my nose..

I need a man Evans” she said taking another round of drink

She gulped it down and burp even more louder than before.

“Ewww” I cover my nose again moving away from her.

“Where do I get a finacee” she said in a sleepy tone..

Hmm finacee

So she needs a man to be her finance..

She stands up from her chair and walked to me almost falling but I caught her on time.

She locked eyes with me and stare at me for a while before giggling.

“I like you” she muttered before falling asleep on my arms.

“Ahhhhhh” I groaned

“She’s so heavy” I mumbled to myself..

I took deep breaths and lifted her up in bridal style.

She kept saying gibberish in her sleep and I sighed deeply.

I carried her upstairs and went to her room

I dropped her on her bed and pulled of her shoes.

I tuck her on and used the duvet to cover her up.

I kissed her forehead and tried to move away but I felt her grib on my shirt

I try to pull away when I heard her voice

“Stay with me please”..

What is Emily saying??
