"Emmett!" Elle called out as she ran down the hall of the courthouse. The scruffy lawyer stopped and whirled around at the sound of her voice. She caught up with him and paused to catch her breath. "Do you know how hard it is to run in stilettos?"
"Can't say I do," Emmett said laughing a bit. "What's up? What did…uh…what did Warner want?" Elle thought for a minute. Should she tell Emmett about Warner's proposal?
"Oh he um…he just wanted to ask me something, that's all," she replied.
"What did he ask you?" he asked. He didn't want to be nosey, but he couldn't help it. He was curious.
"He uh…he asked me to uh….marry him," she said finally.
"He what?" Emmett was half-shocked and half crushed. "And what did you say?" Elle was shocked that he would even ask this question.
"Emmett, what do you think I said?"
"Well I don't know," he admitted. "A couple months ago you were set on winning him back and now…now I don't know if you still want that or not."
"Oh my God," Elle sighed. "Are you serious? Do you think that after all this time, after all the we've been through I'd want to be with him?"
"No?" Emmett guessed.
"Exactly," she exclaimed, smiling and stepping closer to him. "Emmett, right now the only person I want to be with is you." Time seemed to stop. Had Elle Woods, the woman he had been madly in love with for the past few months, really said that she wanted to be with him. A rush of happiness and relief swept over him. Before he could even take in and belive the fact that Elle had just said this she leaned in, in what seemed like slow motion and pressed her lips lightly against his. She slid her hands up his arms, to his shoulders, and around his neck while his wrapped tightly around her waist. Her lips were warm and soft and the feeling of them pressed against his was even better than he'd ever imagined. A few seconds later she pulled away and his lips became cold.
"Let's get out of here," he said in almost a whisper. Elle nodded and slipped her hand into his, squeezing it lightly. Then, hand-in-hand, the two of them walked out of the courthouse together.
