When Will took off to see Cassandra, Emily knew she was done with Will. So she told Tyra "I'm done with Will", "Huh, what happened?" Tyra looked confused at her, "What about being patient?" she asked. "Screw patient, I want to be someone's first choice". "I'm glad you finally see that, let's drink to that". But before they could toast Tyra saw Micah entering the room. He was searching for someone and as he saw Emily he starts walking towards at them."Emily, are you really ready to be someone's first choice? Yes, I am, why?" Emily asked. "Because Micah is coming over and he really is in to you, so maybe you should take a chance on him". Before she could respond to that Micah was already standing next to her.
"Hi Tyra, Emily" he said while he was looking at Emily all the time with loving eyes. "How is your Mom?" Emily asked him. "She is doing great, still a little groggy, but she is awake and we had a good talk, we're okay " he looked at her with a small smile. "I'm glad you talked to her, but I think you were fine before" she said while giving him a little squeeze in his hand. "Let's toast to your mother, to Joyce" she says as she holds her glass of champagne up. "To Joyce" Micah and Tyra toasted with her. "Well than I want to bring out a toast too" Tyra said smiling, "To Emily, for being chosen to be Dr. Bandari's new research assistant". "She did choose you Emily?"I'll drink to that" Micah said with a big smile at his face. "To Emily for being a research assistant" he said, "and for Emily finally being done" Tyra said a little tipsy. Emily shot Tyra an angry look, but she didn't look at Emily. She was looking at hot Molly behind Emily. "Excuse me for a minute, I'll have to talk to someone" she said while walking away from Micah and Emily. "What does she mean with you being done?" Micah asked Emily. She felt a little embarrassed and sighs deeply before she could look him in his eyes. It's only Micah, he knows about your feelings for Will, why does this feel so strange, is it because of what Tyra said? With that in her mind she said: "I'm done with Will, I was sick of waiting, I want to be someone's first choice" she told him with a nervous smile on her face, what was he thinking? Micah's mind was spinning around, did he have a chance, would this be the right time to express his feelings for her? Before he could say anything, Tyra was coming back. "Hey Emily I'm leaving, I think I've got a second chance with Molly, do you mind If I leave"? "No of course not, go and have fun". "Well have fun yourself", Tyra said in Emily's ear, "remember what I told you, forget Will and get a try on Micah, that guy I so into you, and he's really hot Em, have fun". "Have fun you two" she said to Micah and Emily with a naughty smile.
Suddenly Emily got tingles in her stomach, was he really into her, she never looked at Micah like that. They were just staring at each other, both didn't know how to start again. At that moment the DJ said: "What's a dance without people dancing, so everyone choose a partner and come over to the dance floor, I'll start with a slow song so you could get used to it. Micah looked at Emily with a shy smile, "do you want to dance with me Emily"? "I would love that Micah" she says and looked him deeply in his eyes. What is happening between us? She thought and took his hand he was holding for her. He was holding her very tight and she loved the feeling being in his embrace, she felt save and wanted, was Tyra right? Was he really in to her? How do I feel about it? I mean he's very handsome, he's the only one I can really talk to, who knows me without judging, who I can laugh with, hmmm maybe Tyra is right, she thought with a smile and puts her head on his shoulder. Micah was feeling nervous, he loved holding her in his arms, but was afraid that he couldn't keep it in anymore. He had to tell her.
"Emily"? He asked softly, "Hmm" she hum softly, "I would like to ask you something", "yes" she said while enjoying the feeling being this close to Micah. He whispers in her ear "I really like you Emily and I know that I take a risk with it, but I want more than us just being friends. I've that feeling in my stomach every time I look at you and I really need to know If you feel the same. So do you feel it too Emily"? He asked nervously. She looked up in his asking eyes, those beautiful dark eyes and she was speechless. He felt it too? Am I ready to take the leap with Micah," I know you like to over think everything, but please give me a chance, I'll prove you that I can keep work and private apart". He felt his heart fallen when she still didn't answer, what was she thinking? When she finally answered him, her voice was hoarse, "Micah, I like you to and do want to go out with you, but I'm scared, I've worked so hard to be where I'm now in my career and I don't want to jeopardize that". "I know you're Emily, but I think we could really be great together, so will you give us a chance"? As she looked him in his eyes, she could see it there, the love and the wanting. "Yes Micah, I will give us a chance" she said smiling at him. When he heard her, he let her go out of the embrace and took her by the hand, she looked confused but walked with him.
"Have you had dinner already"? he asked her. "No I didn't" she whispers softly. "Do you want to come over to my place, then I'll cook for you". He looked at her with such an adorable face, she couldn't speak anymore so she just nodded yes. When they came by his car, he opened the door for her, but before she got in the car, he placed a hand in her neck and pulled her in a soft kiss. Wow, the guy could kiss! Emily felt her knees became weak, but Micah puts an arm around her waist holding her tight and as he deepens the kiss, she moans and put her hands around his neck and the kiss became more passionately. Finally they pulled back to get some air. He smiled at her adoring face. "I think we can go now".
They drove in silence, Emily has her hand on his leg and he was holding her hand drawing circles with his dumb. Both felt comfortably in silence. They arrived at Micah's place and Emily felt suddenly nervous, what am I doing here, is this the right thing to do? "Over thinking again Owens"? He said laughing at her. "I wasn't- It's okay Emily, I'm nervous too. Really?" But before she could say more he starts kissing her again en she felt it is okay. Actually she could get used to kissing Micah, that felt so great, she thought as he led her to the couch. The kissing got more passionately and she mounded loud when his tongue played with hers, it felt electric. "Do you want me to cook dinner?" he asked her as the parted to get some air. "I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat" she said smiling while she pulled him closer for another kiss. He smiled at that while he says "I was afraid that you would say yes, because right now I even don't know how to cook water" and with that he starts kissing her again.
