Ed & Em Ep2

Emma freshened up. Dressed up in a white floral dress

and knocked on her neighbour's door.

"It's unlocked. Come in."

Unlocked? In NJ they would rob you out any chance they get. She thought to herself.

She gently opened the door and the place was huge, decorated very Boho, with a fireplace, beautiful carpets, and paintings.

"Your place is lovely Mrs Johnson. Way too beautiful."

"Call me Mary. Please take a seat. "

" I will help. " She started beating the egg. 

"So your family moved here or just you?"

Emma smiled a little. "I have no one."

Mary looked confused.

"I lost my parent. Mostly alone. Didn't like. New Jersey anymore and wanted a completely different environment, so... Texas." 

"I am sorry dear."

"Hey, honey. Look what I found. It's barbecue time."

The man held a turkey in his hand.

"Ohh. We have a guest." 

"Don't mind. Thats Josh. My husband." She giggled.

"This is where Ed gets his qualities.

Btw, Josh, this is Emma. She moved next door."

"That's great. Finally a new face. I got bored of the old ones." 

Emma laughed. She misses this. Being with family. Taunting each other. Making fun of each other. Loving each other more than anything.

Mary served the food.

"So Emma what do you do for a living?" He said chewing the bacon.

"I am in between things. I am a writer for a magazine

 So I work mostly from home. I also run a blog... Nothing big."

"It's great. Look at the one we have. Doing stupid things. Where is the devil?"

"Sleeping maybe. Emma you are not eating anything. Don't be shy. Eat as much as you want. We won't be strangers for long. Trust me."

Edward enters with messy hair, and sleepy eyes through the back door, connected to the kitchen and opens to the yard.

"What were you doing out?"

"Sleeping in the barn."

"Why?"

"Felt like. Give me food Mom. I am starving."

Emma peeped through the window as she felt a movement. She saw a girl running out of the yard.

"Ohh he was not sleeping alone after all." She thought to herself.

"Mr & Mrs Johnson, thanks a lot for inviting me in. I loved the food. It's been ages since I haven't eaten together and had fun."

"You can have your breakfast here.. every day," Edward mumbled.

"I will be taking my leave. Got to start with work."

"Ed, why don't you take Emma around the town?"

"Me? Why?"

"Who better than you? You have grown up here. Take her out. Show her places."

"Okay, Mom. Whatever. I will pick you up at 4."

Emma nodded and went back to her place.

Opened the laptop. Still nothing to write.

"I don't know, what's wrong. Why am I out of ideas?"

She sighed.
