LOVE IN THE APARTMENT
EPISODE 14
Alex and Emily were excited to go on their first official date. They had decided on a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant.
As they got ready, Emily couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. “What if the conversation gets awkward?” she asked Alex, fidgeting with her dress.
Alex smiled reassuringly. “We’ve been talking for months, Em. I think we can handle a dinner conversation.”
But as they arrived at the restaurant and were led to their table, Emily’s nerves returned. What if they ran out of things to talk about?
Alex seemed to sense her unease and took her hand. “Hey, relax. We got this.”
As they perused the menu, Emily couldn’t help but notice the other couples around them, all seemingly more romantic than they were.
But as they started talking, Emily’s fears dissipated. They laughed and joked, sharing stories and getting lost in each other’s eyes.
As the night wore on, Emily realized that this was what she had been missing. This connection, this spark.
As they finished their dessert and prepared to leave, Alex turned to her with a smile. “So, did I pass the first date test?”
Emily grinned, her heart full. “Definitely.”
And as they walked out of the restaurant, hand in hand, Emily knew that this was just the beginning of their love story…
An hour later, they got home,
As they entered the sitting room, they were met with the sight of Sandra lounging comfortably on the couch, watching TV. She looked up as soon as they walked in, a bright smile spreading across her face. She made a move to hug Alex, but Emily quickly pushed her away.
Sandra’s eyes widened in surprise, her face stunned. “Emily, what’s wrong with you?” she asked, taking a step back.
Alex chuckled and sat down beside her, unfazed. “Hey, Sandra. What’s up?”
Sandra slowly replied, still looking stunned. “Not much, Alex. Just watching TV. Emily, why did you push me?”
Emily smiled sweetly and walked closer to Sandra. “You know I’ve been letting you off the hook since you started flirting with my man. But now, I can do anything I want to you anytime you get close to him.”
Alex let out a laugh, enjoying the exchange. Sandra scoffed, standing up to face Emily. “Your man? You say? What’s gotten over you, Emily? Or is it because of what you feel? I can let out your little secret, you know.”
Sandra’s eyes sparkled with mischief, and she took a step closer to Emily. “Oh yeah, You dare me to say it huh “,
Emily smiled, unfazed. “Oh yeah, I’d love to. You see, Sandra, I’m not afraid to admit my feelings anymore. And I know Alex feels the same way.”
Sandra turned to Alex, who was still sitting on the couch, watching them with an amused expression. “Alex, you know this girl has been hiding her feelings for you. She loves you, that’s why she gets jealous when I’m around you.”
Alex smiled and stood up, walking closer to Sandra. He whispered in her ear, “Oh yes, I know.”
Then, he walked past Sandra and took Emily’s hands, looking into her eyes. “And I love her too. She’s the best thing that’s happened to me lately, even though we started on the wrong foot and yes we are dating now “, he leaned and kissed her ,
As he kissed Emily, Sandra’s eyes widened in shock. She stumbled backward, watching them as they embraced. Her face was a mix of surprise, anger, and disappointment.
“How could you, Alex?” she muttered, turning around and storming out of the room.
Alex and Emily continued kissing, oblivious to Sandra’s dramatic exit. They were lost in their own little world, their love growing stronger with each passing moment.
As they broke apart for air, Alex smiled and whispered in Emily’s ear, “I’m so glad we’re finally on the same page.”
Emily smiled back, her eyes shining with happiness. “Me too, Alex. Me too.”
