Blank Space Baby [emrys]

[Cherie Amia Boen]

gracefully she walked through the doors of the hospital, looking at all the people rush around within the building. it had been a while since she was here, for many reasons actually. one she was avoiding a certain angel that worked here as a doctor. she also didn't have any crazy accidents since she was living on her own. hard to believe right? but yes Cherie did it all on her own. she had her own little apartment with her cat. yeah it wasn't emry's place but it was good enough for her. work was well and she was slowly getting over liking emrys. time had passed between the two. to her it seemed like nothing but she was old. emrys was older than her even, so it must have been nothing to him. she guessed he wasn't too worried. it wasn't like there was a search party our for her or anything. he didn't seem too bothered that he missed his father getting married. or maybe she was wrong on that one? she was unsure. but it just seemed too soon to join emrys at a wedding after she discovered how blocked he was himself. plus it wasn't like there was a need for a cupid, the couple was obviously inlove.

she pretty blonde, walked over to the front desk and requested doctor emrys to give her a check up. the woman was puzzled yes but with some talking to, she agreed and allowed Cherie to sit in one of the room. she asked the woman nicely not to tell emrys who she was or give any hint to what was going on. she wished she could thank the woman with a bow of her's but her arrows weren't the best now a days. since she had to make them, they often reflected her own emotions. so arrows made on a good happy day, turned out to be happy. arrows made when things still lingered in the back of her mind, were no good to use. but it did give her some time to focus on her job and other parts of her life. she followed the woman to the given room and walked inside, thanking the woman once more. she closed it behind her and pulled herself up on the bed. it was like recreating the first time they met again. though this time her arm wasn't bleeding all over the floor, she was healthy. see? she could live on her own. Cherie was a big girl.

He hadn’t been doing well since Cherie had gone. He’d been rather worried and afraid for her safety. And honestly, he just missed her. He felt horrible about hurting her even though he wasn’t sure how not to. Was it really his fault that he couldn’t be the person that she wanted him to? Or was the problem that a part of him wanted to be that person but he was just too afraid to. All in all it was too late now. He still managed to keep that ever present pleasantry about him at work. He had however become a bit secluded from people he’d spend time with at work. Though he just doubled his work time in order to avoid having to think about everything that he’d just lost, or the fact that he was worried about her.

Emrys practically ran into the room when he heard that she was there to see him. He was already anticipating some terrible injury…maybe a broken leg or arm . Who knows what kind of trouble she might have gotten into . She certainly wasn’t answering his calls. She pretty much ignored his invitation to his father’s wedding so he could easily assume that she hated him. He quickly walked in and started looking her over touched her face and her arms to see if anything was broken or wrong…forgetting to just greet her. When he caught himself he took a step back. “ Cherie…I’ve been worried out of my mind are you ok? Is everything alright…is there a problem at your new home? Where are you staying? Is it in a safe area? “ His concern for her was rather obvious. There was nothing hidden there. “ I’m sorry that you didn’t feel like you could contact me. I’ve been worried and trying to find you…truth be told I’ve never been the best of detectives. “ He said with a soft smile making a fleeting joke before pulling up his chair and sitting across from her. ” I should probably be a good doctor and ask what bring you here instead of just playing 20 questions.” He smiled and looked her in the eye.

It was like a recreation all over again, except this time her arm was bleeding on the floor. She also knew the doctor here and she had no bows to shoot the staff with. Cherie sat on the patient table and waiting for him to come into the room. Unsure of either of their reactions to one another. But when he did come in the room the same thing happened like last time. Her heart skipped a beat and she drew in a breathe. He was still good looking, just like the day she had left. Cherie hoped that when she did come to meet him that she wouldn't still have the same feelings as before. They would be different, gone. Nope, they were still there deep in her heart.

The angel giggled softly as he frantically check her over. There was no bruise or cuts on any part of her body. She was actually doing quite for herself and was living all on her own. She was a big girl now. "I'm not hurt Emrys " she smiled toward him with a shrug. Reaching forward, she grabbed his hand and held it within her own. " I've been fine Emrys, trust me " though he probably wouldn't. She was the queen of disasters. Yes she had a couple within her new home but she found no reason to tell him about that. It would only make him worry more. She knew he cared for her but she hoped he understood that she needed the time away.

Hoping down from the table, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tight. Of course he had been searching for her... That hurt to actually hear though. " i missed you Emrys...so much " she muffled into his shirt. Cherie had no intentions of letting go of him. She had not touched him in months and finally she was able to wrap her arms around him. Though it had been her own choice for feeling so that was her own fault, not his own. " I came to see you " she smiled and finally stopped her hold around his neck. Releasing her hold a bit, she now stood in front of him, arms still looped around his neck as she looked down at him sitting in the chair. " I hope you've been getting rest and not over working yourself " he was always a giver. Which meant he was probably over working himself and not getting much to any sleep. " you can't know where I live Emrys. You will worry for me and check on me like I am a baby. " she sighed, moving his hair from his face. " which I am not, I have grown out of that stage many years ago Emrys. I can prove it "Cherie was serious about that though. She still felt the same for him every though she had let time pass between the pair. As much as she wanted to stay with Emrys and show off her brand new cooking skills, she couldn't. Emrys wouldn't open up and it killing her to sit and wait for something that would never happen.

" you don't have to worry about me anymore " she was probably wrong though. Cherie always got herself in some kind of mess. But that was just in her nature it seemed. But she wanted to ease Emrys's mind. Cherie didn't want him to live his days working about her and scared for her.

He chuckled at her statement.“ Me getting rest? Do asps do charity work in the Antarctic? “ He said smiling at his obscenely corny joke. His face might not be evident to his age but his humor was an entirely different story. “ how could I not over work myself without the little angel on my shoulder telling me to slow down. “ he said with a smile. It was the truth though because when she wasn’t around all that he really had in life was his work. The man had lived for hundreds of years alone without anyone that could make his heart light up the way that she did. Sure he had family and friends but his work was his life and the only person that he’d really ever taken time off for was Cherie. Not that he’d ever tell her that. “ I worry for you anyway… and I am well aware that you aren’t a baby. You’re a strong and intelligent woman…I just like being able to be there for you. “ He brushed a stray hair from her face and let his eyes meet hers for a moment. He felt oddly more at peace than he’d felt since she’d just disappeared…almost as if he’d retrieved a piece of himself.

”When are you going to stop asking me to do the impossible? Ill always worry about you Cherie.. because I care about you. That’s not going to stop anytime soon. Even if you are kicking me out of your life. “He smiled and sat on the cot beside her. “ So I’m guessing there is no way that I’ll convince you to come back? How about…If I take the rest of the evening off and I take you out to dinner? “ He asked her smiling. Was he asking her out on a date? Honestly he wasn’t quite sure. All that he knew was that he missed seeing this woman’s face everyday. He missed cleaning up after her messes and e even missed seeing the way that she adored him in her eyes. It had been so long since someone had looked at him that way. Then again…maybe it just never affected him this much in the past . “ Chopsticks… in one hour? “ The mere fact that he was offering to take time off of work for her probably should have been an obvious red light.

why did he look so good? she was well aware that angels were not one to age like humans. but he just looked so good. despite the slack of sleep that shown from his eyes and the slight sluggish tone his shoulders carried a little. still he was up and a alert for her, probably from the shock of seeing her. maybe emrys should walk with a bag around his head or something. she just needed something to distract her mind from the pull she felt toward him. both emotionally and sexually. cherie also knew that emrys would never feel the same for her, so why try? she could actually say moving out had done the girl some good. plus getting rejected and living with the person, would have been too much from her. her space from her room mate was well needed.


" emrys i was never on your shoulder silly, i was in your house " she giggled with a roll of her blue eyes. emrys still said such weird things that never made any sense to her. cherie smiled and allowed his touch as he moved a strand of her golden hair from her face. she took did the same to emrys, since his hair was longer than the normal males. " emrys but you can still do that " she wanted to ease his heart and his pain. cherie wanted to fix what she had caused the male to feel. she didn't doubt that the feelings between the pair would be something other than happiness, but it was just crazy hearing it expressed by emerys. happy emrys. kicking him out of her life? was that what he thought she was doing to him?

oh no, that was horrible. a deep crown came over her lips as she watched him sit next to her. was it a shame that she didn't want him to feel like way but her mind was still thinking of sexual things to do to the male angel as he sat on the bed with her? keeping her blue gaze forced on his face, she tried her best to wash over the lust she was feeling and focus on his emotions. " i will never push you out of my life emrys, please do not think that " she sighed and grabbed his hand to hold it in her own. " i just...needed some space between me. " she concluded. " i will still need that space but that doesn't mean that i do not want you because i do " she shrugged, looking down at their hands. " i'll take whatever you are willing to give me, even if it is just as friends " having emrys was better than not having him.

cherie knew better than to think emrys was taking her on a date, like that would ever happen. she slide off the cott with glee and leaned toward him, " one quick meal, i would like you to sleep for the rest of the day. she concluded and grabbed his hands to try and tug him off the bed. " i will even bring you back to your home myself so i know you sleep more than the recommended hours" it felt weird not to call his place their home. but she just couldn't move back in there. not today and she was not sure about further down the line either.

He listened closely to her as she spoke to him. His eyes were fixed on her. “I’d like to give you everything that I have” was his reply. Was that a hint that he wanted to be more than just her friend. It was indeed. Though he wasn’t yet aware of the fact that he could be more than friends with anyone. It was a difficult concept for him. After all it had been hundreds of years. Sure time passed differently but still …that was a fairly long amount of time to have closed ones heart down. Only for a sweet cupid to come along and start breaking those walls down.

Taking off work for her, that was his way of saying , I'm madly in love with you. It was a subtle hint though Emrys did have a tendency to be subtle, unlike the woman he loved who was as. Old ss they come. He was more than subtle though, he was hesitant to let that wall come down again. It was jard to imagine anything more dangerous than falling in love again. Especially for someone like him. Everyone has a darkness inside of them and he would be no exception, nothing would bring that out more than a heart twice broken. “ Quick meal? Are you that anxious to get rid of me? “he said with a soft chuckle jokingly. “give me a moment to finish up and ill meet you there. “ he kept to his word he ran off to get his paperwork done and to everyone's surprise he headed off to the restaurant to meet Cherie. Of course he would have preferred to have driven her there but he had to respect her new search for independence… there was still a bit of that old world in him that made him want to pull her back home and keep her there . Of course Emrys was far too respectful to do such a thing. When he arrived he pulled out her chair for her. He whispered into her ear as he pushed the chair in behind her. " Did I mention how lovely you looked today? "

Everything he had? What did he mean by that? ” Emrys… “ she was probably over thinking that one. He probably just wanted her back at his home. She did miss his place and his company. But she knew living with him again would do her heart no good. ” No Emrys. I’d rather not let you go “ she could spend all day with him and never get bored. But that was the problem. Once she got comfortable with him again, it would be so hard to leave.

” Emrys…” she blushed as he complemented her on how she looked. Still the little things kept her blushing and her insides moving. She wasn’t over this man yet, as she thought she would be. As she hoped she would be. ” before we eat Emrys, you cannot try to get me to move back in with you or give you my address “ she warned him. Though Cherie could never pull of a mean look for the life of her. ” I’m going to walk back home after this and watch behind me for kidnappers and you “ she still needed distance from Emrys if she felt this way for him. All the angel wanted to do was gaze at him all day, it had been so long since she had last looked at him or touched him. She smiled up at him, ” As much as I want to compliment you Emrys, I must say you look very tired and very over worked “ why didn’t he take care of himself?


She understood the need and wants to take care of others, but still. She could only think of all the people that loved Emrys and wanted him around for longer than he was providing them. ”Please get some sleep Emrys. I am begging you very nicely” she even pouted at the end of her words so he would promise to do as she said.
