Hey guys. I felt the urge to do another story but in Emmett's POV this time so I though I'd do one when he and Elle first got together.
Disclaimer: Obviously it's not mine. If it was, I'd be rich!
"Oh Warner" This was the last thing Emmett Forrest herd as he slowly pushed his way out of the grand court room doors. Standing outside the statuesque building he raced his way down the steep steps to make his way to the busy street. Pushing past the various paparazzi, calling him from both directions he could feel his heart still racing as he set of at a steady pace towards his car in the parking lot. "Calm down Emmet" He mentally spoke to himself. "Surely she wouldn't accept Warner now. Right?" The sound of the press faded away as the feeling of insecurity rushed over him, he quickly fiddled with his keys and jumped in the car. With the coolness of the leather steering wheel beneath his fingers he allowed his head to drop between them as he let out a long, deep breath. He recalled the fiery look she gave him as settled her down from probably the best hug of his life. "No there was definitely something there" He reassured himself. He just had to hope that Warner hadn't snatched her away before he found out what it was. Turning on the ignition and roaring the car into life, he reversed out of the car park and onto the busy street. Driving past the old building he caught a glimpse of pink amongst the paparazzi. Slowing the car down to wait besides the building, he saw Elle wading herself through the press trying to get past them and onto the street.
Elle's head immediately snapped up, as she heard the loud honking of a car. Whipping her head round, she smiled at the sight of Emmett's black escort and ran down the steps to meet him. Sharing a wide smile with him, she ran round to the passenger side, quickly jumping into the car just as the press swarmed around her. Locking the door, she let out a deep breath and smiled at Emmett. "You looked like you needed some help." He breathed as he gestured to the swarm of press now blocking his returned her smile and began slowly driving past the paparazzi before speeding of down the road, carefully avoiding the remaining paparazzi trying to stop them. Elle closed her eyes and relaxed into the car seat. "Thank you Emmett, for a moment there I had no idea how I was going to get away." She let out a slight chuckle, which Emmet immediately returned. Moments passed as Emmett continued driving. The two had lapsed into an awkward silence, neither one wanting to be the first to bring up what Warner had wanted back in the court room. For Emmett it was the worry that Elle had decided to back with him now that she was considered 'serious' by Warner.
Turning the car round a corner, he slowed down as the sight of her dorm came into view, before pulling up just outside and turning off the ignition. Elle was the first to break the silence which Emmett was grateful for as he did not know what to say without blurting out what he really wanted to say. "Thank you Emmett, for everything" Emmett looked over at her and felt his heart swell in his chest. She looked exhausted; as he studied her face whishing he could bring himself to tell her the truth. Instead he decided to let her go; after all he would see her around even if she was with Warner. The thought of her and Warner made his heart deflate. "Look I'm gonna let you go, it's been a long day and I'm sure you will want to celebrate with Warner later" He gave her a sad smile and got out to walk her to her door. As she joined him, he noted she had a look of pure confusion on her face. They slowly walked up the stairs to her door when she suddenly stopped outside and turned to face him. "Why would I want to celebrate with Warner? I won this trial with you, not him. What does he have to do with this?" He was surprised to find she looked slightly angry at him. He quite liked it actually. "Did you know you pout when you're angry? It's quite cute." He could see his statement had totally thrown her off. Focusing herself she tried again. "I don't want to celebrate with Warner, Emmett. Why would you think that?" It was Emmett's turn to look confused as he tried to process what he saw in the court room. "I saw him propose to you Elle. I guess congratulations are in order" "Or maybe not" He thought to himself has he watched her cross her arms and frown. "You don't sound too happy about it Emmett" This made Emmett get angry. He stepped closer to her before seizing bother her arms and gazing directly at her. "Because I thought you had actually learned Elle. I thought you might actually appreciate yourself more to not fall for people like him who will only appreciate how good you look on their arm and not for what you actually are... Amazing" Realising he had to go too close, he took a step back. He was surprised to find her frown had turned into a huge grin and she had unfolded her arms. "This is why I'll never understand women" He thought bitterly. Calming himself down he placed his hands inside his pockets and let out a deep breath. He tried not to let his brain go into overdrive as she walked closer to him still smiling, before bringing her left hand up close to his face. No ring. "Huh?"He thought. "Where is the ring?" Looked down to inspect her ring less hand before she answered is unvoiced confusion. "I guess I did learn after all Emmett. Your right he did ask me to marry him, but I'd like to think I successfully turned him down after he practically called me a whore" Emmett stood there frozen trying to process what she sad just said. Faintly he heard her chuckle and open the door to her apartment. "Come inside. I think we need to have a talk" She ushered as he followed her through the door.
Emmett felt a strange sensation as soon as he walked in. It was like he was coming in for the first time. Maybe it was because before he had been so sure that they were just friends. Now he wasn't so sure. He followed her to where she was now perched upon her bed. He couldn't shift his gaze as she kicked off her pink high heeled shoes to reveal a pair of brightly nail painted toes, all in the colour pink of course. His eyes wandered up to her pretty tanned ankles before he broke his gaze, frightened to let his eyes stray further. He lifted his eyes to rest on her face where she was looking at him intensely. "Come and sit down Emmett. I promise I won't bite" Feeling the tension dissolve slightly, he walked over and sat next to her leaving a slight gap between them. He needed to be able to think half clearly for this talk after all.
He watched as she let out a deep breath before speaking." When I first came to Harvard Law, my expectations of myself were really low. The only things I hoped to achieve while being here where an engagement ring and some fancy new words so I looked like I was smarter. I had no idea that I would go on to become an intern even if it was for the wrong reasons, and I could never dream that I would win a high murder trial" He felt her reach out to lace her fingers with his as she ploughed on. "Yes you could say that this was because of Warner, but after a while he stopped being the reason I was in law school. The rest I have to thank you for. You helped me when no one else would. You taught me to be a better person. To strive to be more than just my blonde hair" She paused for a moment catching her breath as tears began to well up. He lifted his free hand and whipped away the tears that were slowly cascading down her face. She let out a shaky breath and carried on. "When I was trying to say goodbye to you, I thought my heart was going to stop beating. And when you stood up to Callahan for me, I thought my knees were going to give way because I had never wanted you more than what I did that very moment. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you Emmett, and no other Warner could ever compare to what I feel for you" Emmett was speechless. It was certainly a revelation, one he wasn't quite so prepared for. But never the less he was overjoyed to hear that she loved him possibly as much as he loved her. He moved his hand to completely cup her cheek as he leaned in a rested his forehead against hers. He was mesmerized by the intensity of her sky blue eyes. He felt her breath hitch slightly as his leaned down to lightly brush his lips with hers before moving to kiss along her cheek, resting in the curve of her neck. Stroking her hair slightly, he lifted his head up before planting a kiss on her forehead. "Elle you have to know I love you for who you are, not just how you look. There is no other girl I would want to be with. I can't even imagine how I would feel if you had actually left for good. I have never been as proud of you as I was when you won the trial. I'm sorry for the things I said outside, I just couldn't believe that I might have actually lost you to Warner. Call it an act of a man in love, because I do love you Elle Woods. I really do."
Threading his fingers through her long hair, he leaned forward to kiss her, this time with more passion as he felt their pent up feelings overflowed. A warm hand came into contact with the back of his neck, as he felt the other hand run down his chest. Adding a little pressure, he slowly lowered her onto the bed, as he settled on top of her, never breaking their kiss. He removed one of his hands from her hair and let it run a course down her arms before letting it rest on her hip. She let her arm circle him as she pulled him loser. Felling his head spin, he gave into the pressure completely resting on her. He pulled away from her tantalising lips after a moment, needing oxygen. He looked down and stared at her swollen lips and flushed face and let out a soft chuckle before moving his hand to trace over her lips. He could feel her heart pounding beneath him as she struggled to regain her breath. She lifted her hand up to stroke the small amount of his chest that had become exposed during their passionate outbreak.
Leaning down once more he captured her lips again this time adding slight pressure so that he could deepen the kiss. He felt her arms encircle his neck as his arms moved down the contours of her body, feeling the plane of her flat stomach. She flinched slightly feeling his hand drift down her thighs, to the hem of her dress before stopping. Stopping the kiss and opening his eyes, he silently asked her permission before he went any further. She smiled at him before giving him a slight nod before leaning to kiss him again. Plucking up his confidence, he let his hand drift under her dress, resting his hand on the bottom of her thigh. Feeling her tremble slightly, he ever so slowly caressed up her thigh before reaching her hip. Hearing her gulp slightly, he left his hand there slowly stroking her hip. He released her lips, rubbing her nose slightly with his. He had never felt happier in his life than what he did that very moment. "I love you so much Elle Woods" He exclaimed before brushing her lips again. Her eyes were filled with passion as she looked at him before whispering "I love you too" Seeing her eyes drift close for a second, he remembered how exhausted she had looked after the trial. Pulling his hand from her hip, and giving her another lingering kiss, he shifted his weight so that he was lying next to her. She looked at him, clearly confused by his sudden change. He chuckled softly. "You're exhausted, I can tell. Take a nap. I promise I'll still be hear when you wake up". Looking slightly reassured, she snuggled towards his embrace as he stroked her hair and rested a hand on her hip. Her soft breathing told him she was asleep. Planting a kiss on her foreheadand closed his eyes before drifting off to sleep as well.
I might choose to turn this into a chaptered story. Let me know what you think. :)
