Chapter 118 - The truth

Rachel then went out with Emma for some shopping and had her mind relax a bit but the guilt in her heart would not go away, she felt that she was doing something extremely wrong with Emma. With a heavy heart she took Emma to the mall, seeing her really happy while she was shopping made her heart leap even more at the thought that how she would feel when she knows the truth. Ignoring that feeling in her heart she followed Emma to a gift shop. Rachel was confused and asked "Why are we here."

Emma smiled and replied excitedly "I will tell you everything but for now let me buy a gift."

Rachel nodded and helped her choose a beautiful gift then her eyes fell on a beautiful watch which reminded her of someone, her eyes felt watery but she controlled herself tears and asked Emma to go and look for other things while she does the billing. Emma went away scrolling through the rest of the store while Rachel bought that watch. After that they went to have food and while they waited for their order Rachel kept staring at Emma waiting for her to tell, who the gift was for. Emma kept blushing, then finally gave in "Alright I will tell you, it is for someone I have fallen in love with."

Rachel sat there with a blank face staring at her, she came back to reality only when Rachel snapped her fingers in front of her eyes "How can you fall in love with someone in such a short period of time."

She kept blushing "Actually I have had a crush on him for a long time and he finally asked me out."

Rachel felt the excitement too but then Emma's face turned gloomy so Rachel asked casually "Now what happened."

She suddenly had tears in eyes as she spoke "Actually you are the first person I am telling this to, I am scared to have a relationship with someone because the last time I had that my brother was kicked out of the house."

Rachel was shocked "How? "

Emma continued with a grin face "My brother was very supportive of my relationship and he helped me keep it a secret until I was ready to tell my parents but he was warned me not to do anything that I will regret. I was young and that night my boyfriend then made me drink and took me to a private room, coincidentally my brother was present there and he saw this and followed behind. He began to beat him up and the police arrived there and that is when I made the biggest mistake of my life and said that we were doing this willingly and I didn't know him...." she began to sob loudly which made Rachel worry "Did the police take Kevin with them."

Emma nodded and she realised something was wrong "How do you know my brother's name, I never mentioned it."

Rachel was out of words and began to think quickly she had to find a cover to what she had said.
