Chapter 1

Exiting the elevator Luke throws his coat to the side and keeps walking towards the couch. "Unnnhh! I hate life!" He complains and collapses backwards onto the couch.

"Hey! Watch it!" Emma yells as Luke haphazardly lands in her lap. "What's wrong with you anyway?"

"Oh nothing... Just perhaps my dreams of ever being happy ruined!" He sits up but slouches on the couch.

"Did another girl turn down your advances?" Emma guesses knowing she was most likely correct. Her brother had a tendency to really go overboard when he liked someone.

"No! Ok maybe yes." He leans back over into her lap. "We were perfect too. But no, she said she had an emergency trip to the north pole she had to attend." He starts whimpering into the frill of her dress. "But I know she was just saying that to save my feelings."

"Well I think she could have done a little better job than that." Emma says sternly. "She was very rude to let you down like that. She should have just did what I do for guys."

"Whats that?"

"Restraining order." Lightly she tries to push him off her lap. "Ok you can stop now, your tears are starting to stain my Chanel dress."

Luke sits up once more. "Sorry, I just... I just don't think I'll ever meet someone like her again."

Placing her hand onto his Emma says "No, you will meet someone better. If she didn't like you for you, then she doesn't deserve you."

"Really?" He was now smiling. But deep down he knew Emma was just being nice to him.

"Yes. Really." She laced her fingers in between his. "And perhaps that person is closer than you think."

"Like in the same house?" Luke says getting the idea. Emma nods and smiles. "You're right. I still have Jessie!"

Emma releases Luke's hand. "Wait what?!"

"I always knew Jessie wanted me. You just confirmed it." Luke stands to walk away and find Jessie. But Emma catches his arm and drags him back to the couch.

"That's not what I meant." This time she takes each of his hands into hers. "I meant me."

Luke was dumbfounded. He couldn't do or say anything other than look at Emma. Did he just hear her correct? Or was she just messing with him again. He looked around the room for Zuri, Ravi, or a hidden camera of some sort. This had to be a trick.

"Well are you going to say something?" She asks nervously. Emma had just told Luke her innermost feelings towards him. Finally after a few tense seconds he started to speak.

"Emma, I... I never knew you felt that way." In all the confusion he had forgot he was still her hands. They were so very soft. "Is this some kind of trick?"

"Absolutely not." Emma responds and pulls him towards her. Now they were face to face. Only a few inches between them. The sweet smell of her designer perfume caught his attention. She reiterated herself, "Absolutely not," then kissed him.

Luke was caught off guard, but he didn't pull away. With Emma's lovely soft lips against his, he wouldn't dare stop such a moment. The moment went on forever as well. Seconds felt like hours and yet hours felt like seconds.

Finally she broke the kiss and pulled back. Still mere inches from each other she asked him "Didn't I tell you, you would meet someone better?"

Almost snickering with glee Luke replies, "Much better." And this time he pulled her towards him for another kiss. This one was longer and of the french persuasion. Luke was a bit rusty as he never had really kissed a girl like this before. Emma on the other hand was more experienced so he just followed her lead.

Finally after a few minutes they had stopped, finally realizing they were still in the middle of the living room. "Oh crap!" Emma gasps and scans the room. No one appeared to be around. But with a butler and a nanny you never knew when one would show up.

"I don't see anyone." Luke says after glancing around the room himself.

"Good. But perhaps we shouldn't do this in the living room next time."

Grinning from ear to ear Luke says, "There's going to be a next time?"

Emma stands pulling him by the hand towards the stairs. "Yes, and more after that." The two then scurry up the stairs faster than when starts recounting her stories of home.
