Disclaimer: I do not own Emily Owens MD. If I did, the show never would have been cancelled.
Author's Note: Well I died from happiness at the end of the last episode, at least until Will and Tyra showed up. I am living in anticipation for next week. I hope you enjoy this story, it is my hope of what will happen, or at least the direction it will take.
Oh my God, oh my God. Did that really just happen? Micah kissed me. Will broke up with Cassandra. That was not real. I imagined that, right? Emily could hear Tyra talking to her as they drove back to her apartment, but the words were all a blur. Something about proving her was an adult…or Hot Molly, who knows. Thankfully, whatever it was required no response because Emily was far too distracted to offer anything more than a grunt or murmur of agreement. What am I going to do? Emily's thoughts followed a similar vein the rest of the way home and as she got Tyra set up on the couch and crawled into bed.
Okay, the facts: Micah kissed me. I didn't even know that he thought of me like that. Oh God and all I have been doing since I started here is talk about Will…Will, now he breaks up with Cassandra, after I decide I am over him. Emily rolled over, flipping her pillow as she continued to stew. I guess this is the real test. Now that Will is free, do I want to be with him anymore? It was all I dreamed about for four years…but since starting at the hospital, has Will really been there for me? Sure sometimes he is there, like with the dog, but he went out with my enemy, even though he knew how I felt. And last night, he left. It was a big night for me and he didn't care. Emily sat up straight in shock. "Holy crap," she whispered. I really am over Will. I don't care that he broke up with Cassandra, I mean as a friend I feel bad for him, but I don't want to take her place. He didn't want me, who knows if he does now, but I don't care. I deserve to be someone's first choice.
With that, her thoughts drifted back to Micah and the kiss. Micah has been there for me since I started. I don't know what I would have done without him today. And it was a really nice kiss. Who knew Micah could kiss like that. Emily recalled the tingles that ran through her body when Micah's lips touched hers. It was unlike any kiss she had ever had before. She felt, after the shock had wore away, wanted and safe in his arms. Until Will and Tyra ruined it. Suddenly Emily remembered the night before on the roof. Micah had wanted to ask her something. He had looked so nervous, but then Tyra interrupted and they hadn't had a chance to talk again.
Poor Micah. He put himself out there and I just left him…with Will of all people. I need to talk to him. I need to know what he wants, does he want a relationship. I don't think Micah is the type of guy to kiss a girl without a reason. Emily laughed to herself, imagining what Joyce would do to him if he went around kissing girls he wasn't involved with. Knowing both Micah and Joyce, Emily knew he must actually have feelings for her. But do I have feelings for him. I have been so caught up in Will that I haven't noticed any other guys. Maybe that's why he never said anything, what kind of guy would put himself out there when all I did was talk about someone else. And yet Micah let me, even though he had feelings for me, he let me talk about Will. Emily smiled, he really is amazing. I think I could fall for him, I mean he is already the person that I want to go to when anything happens. He is the one who has comforted me, he pushed me to be a better doctor, he never makes me second guess myself…he really cares about me. Before she could lose her nerve, Emily grabbed her phone. Taking a deep breath, she typed:
I'm sorry we didn't get to talk. Please meet me on the roof before shift. Emily
She pressed send before she could regret it. "Tomorrow," she murmured, "I will figure this out tomorrow."
