Love The Way You Lie

"So he was a total hunk?" Juli asked, sipping on her green tea.

Emerson chuckled, "First of all, no one say's hunk anymore, mama. Second of all, he was perfect! Blue eyes, tattooed, creamy skin, and just perfect black hair."

"I'm older than you, I say what I want! Picture?" She raised her eyebrow. Emerson took her phone to see Andy had followed her on Twitter.

"He just followed me. I got his number when he drove me home but so far I haven't texted him." She said, showing her his avi, which was a picture of him on the cover of some magazine.

"Holy shit!" Juli said ripping the phone out of her hand, "He's a fine piece of man!"

"Mama!" Emerson groaned.

"I am just being real, and I'm also implying if you don't date that man, I will butcher you. He's perfect!" She exclaimed, Emerson laughed almost spitting out her own tea.

"I don't know...he's just.." I shook my head.

"Not MGK?" Juli said, sadly.

"Yep." Emerson said, popping the 'p', "And it's stupid! So stupid, because I know Kelly has like fifteen girlfriends and this Andy guy, he is truely sweet. But I'm just so confused."

"Maybe text Andy. Go on another date and see how that goes." Juli smiled, uneasily. Emerson chuckled.

"What should I say?" She asked.

"Hey, I had fun, we should go out again! Jesus E, it's not that hard! Imma start calling you Trouble!" Juli exclaimed.

"Please don't." Emerson's eyes widened.

"Whatever you say, Trouble." Juli laughed. Emerson smiled before standing up.

"Where to next, mama?" She asked.

"We need to get you an outfit for the date I'm about to get you." And Emerson just noticed Juli had her phone.

"Oh my god, Juli! Stop!" She screamed, sitting back down.

"Hush Trouble! I'm on the phone!" Juli yelled. "Hi yes, my name is Juli Garret." She said, putting the phone on speaker.

"Uh this isn't Emerson?" Andy said.

"No it is-"

"Andy she took my pho-" Juli covered her mouth with her hand.

"Trouble, I am speaking, stop it!" She said dying of laughter. "Okay as I was saying, I am Juli, Emerson's hip hop company director but she is my daughter basically and I make decisions for her life! I want her to go on a date with you, Andrew. You seem very nice."

"Mama!" Emerson mumbled against Juli's hand and then bit it.

"Ow! Trouble did you just bite me?" She exclaimed.

"Yes!" Emerson said, ripping Juli's hand off her mouth. "I did, can I have the phone?" She could hear Andy chuckling in the background and she wanted to set this right. Juli handed her the phone, "Hello?"

"Hello Emerson." Andy said. She felt her heart beat quicken as she took the phone off speaker.

"I'm sorry about that. Juli is pretty crazy." She shook her head.

"I see that..." Andy trailed off, "Emerson, I'd really love to see you again."

"I want to see you too." Emerson blurted out and glared at Juli as she held her stomach, laughing.

"That's pretty good, because I see you now." Andy chuckled, "Popular mall." She heard from behind her. Juli's face was red and her eyes were wide as she took in the god before her. Everything about him whispered beauty and she wondered what the hell was wrong with Emerson to not text him right away. "Hello Ms. Carter."

"Woah, fancy seeing you here." She laughed.

"You as well," He nodded, "Mind if I sit?"

"Uh-"

"Not at all." Juli interjected. Emerson glared at her. Andy sat next to her a bemused look gracing his near perfect features.

"I'm Andrew Biersack." He said, extending his hand to Juli. "Nice, to meet you Juli."

"You too. Me and my daughter were just shopping here." She said, smacking her gum between her teeth. Emerson could tell Andy was a little repulsed by her fake mother.

"I see that, how would you feel if I stole her away for a few minutes?" Andy smiled at her, and Emerson shook her head looking at Juli, who just laughed.

"I have to be getting home anyways." She said, standing up. She kissed Emerson on the cheek who just glared at her. "Love you, Trouble."

"Love you too mama. See you Monday." Emerson sighed.

"Nice meeting you, Andy." She said, walking away. He looked at her eyebrows raised.

"When you told me about her I didn't expect her to be so.." He shook his head.

"Insane?" Emerson chuckled.

"If that's how you'd like to put it I'm in no position too disagree." He grinned. Emerson laughed loudly.

"Your so formal all the time, loosen up man!" She said, lightly punching his shoulder.

"That's just how I am." Andy smiled, "Especially around women I like."

"You like me?" Emerson said, softly.

"Quite a lot, Ms. Carter. I was hoping you reciprocated the feelings." He said, leaning closer to her.

"I-I well, Andy.. Geez.." She shook her head.

"I know, Emerson. I'm not asking you out." He said, sternly, and Emerson blinked. Was she not good enough for him? Just a toy for him to play with?

"Uh what?" She said.
"I'm just being clear." He said, "I don't want a girlfriend right away anyways. I just want to see you again."

"Oh.." She sighed.

"Not in a bad way. You know, Emerson, I haven't had a girlfriend in a few years." He said.

"Really?" Emerson quirked her eyebrow. She would have thought he had girls all over him..

"Yes. Nobody had caught my eye. You see, my life is pretty hard to work with, Ms. Carter. A lot of traveling." He said, "Most girls just want a one night stand. You don't seem like that kind of girl. I'm assuming your a virgin?" Emerson felt her cheeks burning.

"What!?" She exclaimed.

"Tell me the truth." He chuckled. Emerson looked at him with a bemused expression.

"Perhaps your the one who doesn't know what he's getting into, Mr. Biersack." She smirked. Andy leaned in. Close to her ear, almost to where she could feel his plush lips on her skin.

"Once your ready, I will rock your world Ms. Carter." He kissed right behind her ear and her heart quickened. She looked at him her blue eyes scanning his own.

He smiled softly, and slid his arm around the back of her chair.

Suddenly, he felt her hand reach up to touch his cheek. His breath hitched in his throat.

"Who are you really?" She asked.

"Your most beautiful dream." He said, leaning in so his lips lightly brushed hers but he didn't kiss. Not yet.

"I know your hiding something. Kelly isn't friends with guy's like-"

"Hey! Andy and...Emerson?" Kelly said walking up to the pair. They quickly moved away from each other.

"Hey Kelly." Andy said.

"Why are you two here?" Kelly winked.

"I saw Ms. Carter sitting here and decided to talk to her." Andy said.

"What a coincidence." Kelly said.

"Indeed." Andy grinned at her. Emerson's eyes widened.

"Did you two plan this!?" She exclaimed.

"You think to much of yourself, baby." Kelly said, ruffling her hair. She stuck her tongue out at him and he smiled. "Well, I'll let you two be." He said, winking and walking away. Andy smiled down at her and then stood up.

"Would you like to come back to my place to talk?" He asked.

"Uh sure." She gulped, standing up. Was she really doing this?

Oh fuck it.
