1955 Words
Emma ran into Delilah's room around eight am , jumping onto her bed but was shocked to find it empty .
" Delilah ? " Emma called out confused . Her eyes glanced around and saw the bathroom door shut . She stood up and walked over , hearing the soft sound of water running . She sighed , realizing that Delilah would probably be a while .
She sat down on Delilah's bed , scrolling through her social media .
After about three minutes , the door opened and Delilah gasped in shock as she saw someone sitting on her bed . Delilah let out a breath of relief when she realized that it was Emma .
Emma lifted her gaze from her phone , locking it with her thumb . A wide smile crossed her face .
" Hi . " Delilah greeted her awkwardly . ' Why is she in here ? ' Delilah thought as she found it a bit -- strange .
" Guess what !" Emma squealed excitingly . Delilah felt as if she should really know the answer , but the truth was , all she is , is clueless .
" What ? " Delilah asks carefully .
" You got the job !" Emma jumped up in excitement . Delilah's eyes grew wide at the news .
" Oh my ! That's great ! " Delilah yells .
" Thank you so much ! " she ads .
" No problem . " Emma shrugged .
" But you do start tonight . " Emma smiles warily .
" That's fine . " Delilah waved it off .
" What time ? " Delilah asks .
" Eh -- six to eleven . " Emma smiles .
Delilah frowns as realization hit her .
" Then I won't be able to make you food . " Delilah muttered .
" That's fine . Chase can make dinner tonight . We will just work out a schedule . " Emma shrugs .
A appreciative smile crossed Delilah's face .
" Thank you ! And I promise I will clean the house and kitchen . " Delilah smiled .
" Just don't over do yourself . You only get two days off a week . " Emma informs her .
" That's fine . I'm use to over working . " Delilah chuckled and Emma frowned at her , a confused expression on her face .
" What ? " she asks confused .
Delilah began to panic as she didn't know what to tell her , she didn't want to scare Emma and tell her , her whole dramatic past .
" I use to do house cleaning for ekstra money . " Delilah smiled warily , hoping Emma wouldn't notice the lie .
" Oh , alright . But do it at your own time , like two days on the first floor and the other two days on the second . " Emma suggests and Delilah smiled , nodding her head up and down .
" Sounds perfect . " Delilah smiled .
" So let's see what pants you have to wear to work because I have a shirt you have to wear with the restaurants sign logo thingy . " Emma smiles as she walks over to Delilah's closet , but before Delilah could stop her , she already opened the closet , gasping at the little , half torn and old clothing .
" I don't have a lot . " Delilah felt ashamed , she was always teased for wearing the same two outfits everytime , but it were the only decent clothes she had .
" Oh , well that's fine . " Emma sighed as she closed the closet , her eyes trailing over Delilah's figure .
" Come with me . " Emma waves Delilah closer as she turns and walks out of Delilah's bedroom .
Delilah didn't answer questions and mostly did what was told , so she followed Emma into her bedroom where Chase still laid in , scrolling through his phone in his shorts and tank top .
" Honey , go make some coffee , please . " Emma asks .
" Sure ." he said , standing up . His eyes grew wide as he saw Delilah in her towel , standing next to Emma .
" What is going on ? " he asks confused .
" Nothing . Coffee . Now . " Emma demands . Chase shrugged before walking out of the bedroom .
" Close that door , would you ? " Emma asks Delilah and Delilah nods as she quickly closes the door .
Emma takes out a red t - shirt crop top with the name ' Will's Cafe ' written in white cursive letters . Delilah's eyes grew wide at the sight of the short shirt .
" Where's the rest of it ? " She asks . Emma burst out in a fit of laughter .
" Good one . " she laughed and threw the shirt at her and continued to search her closet .
" Here are some underwear for the morning . They are brand new , I haven't worn them . " she says as she chucks the black g-string and black lacy bra at her .
Delilah just stood and held the things Emma were throwing at her .
Emma continued and took out a black tennis skirt with a tight black thin strap top and a white sweatshirt .
" You go dress into that and then come show me . " Emma says as she opens the door for Delilah to get out . Delilah awkwardly walks back to her room , clothes stuffed in her hands . Delilah dropped the clothes on her bed and took off her towel . She got dressed and went back to Emma's room where Emma already had socks and a pair of white sneakers put out in front of her closet .
" Put those on . " Emma points at the shoes as she did her hair .
Emma had on a light blue summer dress with thin straps that sat like a glove , tightly . She had on black short slim heal sandals .
" Thanks . " Delilah smiled as she put on the sneakers .
" That is so your style , you look good in my clothes ! " Emma exclaimed as she watched Delilah through the mirror .
Delilah felt shy as no one has ever told her that she looked good .
" Thanks . " Delilah blushed .
" No problem . I have a few places that we can get you clothes . " Emma winks as she finishes her hair and turns around , grabbing her purse and things .
" But aren't we going onto campus ? " Delilah asks confused as she felt shy , she didn't want to admit she didn't have the money to buy clothes .
" Right . Well we will stop there for your registration and then we can go . " Emma smiles and Delilah follows Emma out of the room .
Emma turns to look at Delilah who stood frozen in front of her .
" Go grab your things . " Emma smiles
" Look , " Delilah sighs , " I don't have the money for clothes .. " Delilah admit as she noticed that she wasn't getting out of this .
" Who said you were buying ? " Emma laughs .
" How rich are you ? " Delilah blurts out but immediately slaps her forehead .
" I'm sorry . I just .. I can't let you do that . It's a lot . " Delilah apologizes .
" Don't worry about it . Think of it like me experimenting on you ! I am practicing for my future job . " Emma says proudly .
" You're not going to let me say no , are you ? " Delilah sighs .
" Nope . " Emma smiles and grabs her hand .
" You don't need your things ! Let's go before you change your mind . " Emma squeals as she hurried pulls Delilah downstairs .
" Your coffee is ready , like five minutes ago . " Chase announced . Emma rolls her eyes as she thought of how lazy Chase actually is .
" Then why didn't you bring it to me ? " She asks .
" Because I didn't know if Delilah was getting dressed there or not . " he replies .
" Just admit you are lazy . " Emma chuckles as she walks over to the kitchen and gives Chase a kiss before taking her coffee and throwing it into a on - the - go cup .
" Want some ? " Emma asks as she glances at Delilah standing awkwardly in the kitchen .
" I'm good , thanks . " Delilah smiled timidly .
" So where are you from ? " Chase asks and Emma smacks his arm .
" What ? " Chase bellows .
" Did you ask her ? " Chase asks Emma .
" No . " she frowns and Delilah watched them bicker with wide eyes .
" Someone should . " Chase mutters .
Chase's eyes met Delilah's and he instantly regret being a jerk .
" My apologies , I am just protective . " He excused himself .
" It's fine . I just came from a small town , my parents are dead and the people I lived with weren't the best , that's why I moved away when I finished with school yesterday . " Delilah informs in and he had regret written all over his face .
" I'm sorry . But I am glad you are here . " she smiled as she walked to the front door .
" And I apologize for his behavior too . Let's go . " she said as she glares at Chase .
" Where are you going ? " he asks .
" Campus to get her registered and then shopping . " Emma smiles .
" Okay , see you later and be safe ! " he yells and blows Emma a kiss . Emma smiles as she catches it and blows him a kiss back before she and Delilah walks out of the house .
Delilah was in awe of their relationship , it was so lovable , caring , funny -- it seemed healthy .

Emma walked Delilah to the office of NYU .
" I'll be back by the time you are done . I just need to give someone something . " She winks at Delilah before walking off .
Delilah awkwardly sat in the comfortable lounge chairs as she waited for her turn to talk to the chancellor , her one leg crossed over the other as she fiddled with the papers in her hands .
" The chancellor will see you now . " The front desk lady said and Delilah stood up , her dirty blonde hair falling over her shoulders as she walks into the chancellor's office .
As she walks in , two blue eyes land on her , smirking as he notices her beautiful style , her toned legs and her small figure from behind .
" Well I do hope she's new here . " Seth muttered as the door closes and he walks out of the office .
