First day back to McKinley High.
Will was dying to start this new year, especially since he would still be teaching Glee Club. He knew this year would be a good one for Glee and he couldn't wait to start rehearsing.
He was heading to his office when he froze suddenly, looking right in front of him. Red hair. High red heels, white tall skirt and green shirt. The vision of an angel. She was turning her back to him, probably heading to her office as well. Ok, be a man, come on, thought Will. After a very short moment of hesitation, he started walking faster until he reached her.
"Emma."
She turned around, slowly, and looked right at him, her eyes filled with worry, maybe panic.
"Oh, Will. Hum ... Hi." Her eyelashes fluttered a bit too fast.
"How are you?", he asked.
"I'm fine, really, fine. I, hum, I had a really great time in Florida. I went there ... to visit my parents. "
" Oh, right. Great. ... You stayed there for the whole holidays?"
"Oh, no no no, I just stayed a few days, and then I went back in town." Emma paused, not really knowing what to say next. Gosh, she was really embarrassed right now! And she could feel his eyes searching for hers, probably trying to read her thought. She did her best not to run away.
"I'm really sorry I didn't give any news," she added, "it's just ... I, I needed some time alone, to figure things out and, well ... to get some rest."
So this was her excuse, thought Will. He didn't blame her for freaking out, or whatever her reaction was after he told her he loved her, he just hoped they would talk about it now that they were both back to work. And not just avoid the subject.
"Ok, it's ok Em. It's just ... I missed you."
She blushed, and felt her heart beat faster. It did so anytime he called her like that. "Right", she said, as her eyes lowered, and then she looked back at him. "I missed you too Will."
The way she said that made Will fall for her even more. Could she be more adorable? He wanted so bad to brush the length of her cheekbone with his fingertips, he wanted to take her in his arms, make her feel safe.
"So, hum, I guess I'll ... I'll see you later", she said in a soft voice, after a moment of awkward silence. Since then their talks had become so uncomfortable?
"Sure", he replied.
He watched her as she walked away from him, but his face lit when she turned again to him . "Oh, I heard you were auditioning. For Glee Club? I was just wondering if you needed help. You know, an extra judge?" She smiled.
"Actually, yes, I do! I wanted to ask you, but I forgot. 4 p.m, auditorium, all right?"
"Great, I'll be there."
