Emma stood in the corridors of Mckinley high, she was staring up into Wills eyes as he confessed that he loved her. He was actually saying the words and telling her how he would fight for her, he wouldn't give up, regardless of her current relationship with Carl. Her heart began to race as he pulled her close to him, he was going to kiss her, she knew this and yet she couldn't believe it was about to happen. Closing her eyes for a split second, she felt his lips press firmly against hers, nothing in the world mattered right now, just them two and the immense kiss they were sharing. She almost had to reach up on tip toes but she wrapped her arms around his neck "Will...I don't know" "you do know, Em, this is all we've both want for so long. I have just been a complete fool for letting you go". Emma nodded and pulled back from the kiss, staring up to his eyes again "I love you Will, I always have" "Then be with me, forget Carl. He wont ever make you as happy as I will" She could feel her body temperature rising as she began to blush, there was no-one else for her, she wanted to be with Will and only Will. "Ms Pillsbury!" Emma shook her head slightly and turned back from Will, glancing down the empty corridors "yes?" there was no-one there, Emma simply shrugged and turned back to find Will had vanished. "Will?...I … uh" she started to walk down the corridor "Ms Pillsbury! Hello!" Emma turned sharply on her heel and still saw no one "Ms Pillsbury, you were saying..."
…..Emma shook her head and blinked her eyes a few times, finding herself sat in her office with one of the senior students opposite her. "Oh...I'm sorry Jacob, I must have got lost in a trail of thought". The student nodded "you were telling me about not making any rash choices and then you mentioned Mr Schuester...and you've been sat there, staring into space ever since". Emma blushed a little, she had truly lost the plot now, daydreaming about him while trying to do her job. "Well, as I was saying, you really need to consider all your options for college next year. I have put together a list of possible places for you to attend and labelled them with their level of relevance to your situation". Emma smiled towards the young boy as he took hold of the list "thank you Ms Pillsbury, you always manage to find the best solutions for us all". "You are more than welcome, Jacob. Come back to see me if you need any more advice, my door is always open".
She smiled to him as he scurried out of her office, watching to make sure he was far enough away before she took out her gloves and cleaning products. It wasn't that she assumed all students were dirty but she did know for a fact that they all carried with them a certain amount of germs. Emma sighed and quickly sprayed the areas of her desk which he had been in contact with and scrubbed them until she was perfectly happy that they were, once again, spotless. "That's better" she commented to herself "what's better?" "I just...oh, Will" she felt her heart skip a beat as he strolled into her office.
The room seemed to enclose around them as she watched him move closer to her, so many thoughts played on her mind, so many things she wanted to say to him. I love you, I want you, kiss me oh god kiss me again...but all she could muster up was one word "hello" the simplest word that had been spoken by so many and sang sweetly in a song they had once danced to. Will pulled up a chair and smiled his usual charming smile "hello". Her eyes darted towards his lips, staring at them as she softly bit her lower lip "how are things?" he enquired as Emma swept in and out of her daydream state "...oh, fine" It was almost too hard to speak to him "are things going well with...Clive?" Emma simply nodded "Clive is fine...I mean, Carl, Carl is fine".
Emma shook her head get back to reality she glanced up to him "Ho-how are things with you?" Will shrugged slightly "fine...just fine" "I am glad to hear that, Will" she answered honestly, happy that he seemed okay. "Well, yeah" he shifted in his seat and placed his hand on the back of his neck, sighing "Look, do you want to go get a coffee?" Emma felt that thump in her heart again, was he asking her out on a date? No, it was just coffee. "Just to catch up, nothing more" he reassured her "I'd like that, I just need to finish a few things and then I will meet you out front, okay?" she had no idea if this would be a good idea but it was almost impossible to deny him "great, see you out front" Will smiled and stepped out of her office, leaving Emma to sit there with her eyes widening and so many thoughts going through her mind ….Is it a date? Will he kiss me again, tell me he loves me and wants to fight for me?
With those thoughts flooding her mind, Emma brushed down her skirt and took hold of her handbag. Taking small, hesitant, steps as she made her way to meet him. There is only one way to find out.
