She stood behind the podium, the crowd hanging on her every word - which the mayor sure as hell does have a way with.

Her black hair curled around her face, pronouncing all of its glorious features. As she glanced down to examine her notes; a strand of it escaped and fell gently onto her perfectly sculpted cheek bone. Her slender fingers tucked it back behind her ear; oh what I would give to be that strand of hair right now...

As she looked up, she directed her words at all the faces she could, and I'm pretty sure we caught eye contact - but it could have just been my imagination. She was astounding, beautiful. I couldn't tell you a single word she had spoken, but I could tell you exactly how long it took her to notice that as she moved around; her suit-jacket was slowly exposing more and more of her cleavage (sadly, it only took her a few seconds).

My eyes were transfixed on her as she manoeuvred around the stage, My body hypnotised by hers.

Her legs - so lean and smooth, her body - so poised and... did she just bite her lip? she knows I'm checking her out. Hell, probably nearly everybody in this room was. My eyes darted suspiciously between the people around me, Ruby and Belle... Why did I have to sit myself next to the second most beautiful people in the town? Regina probably hadn't even realised I was here.

The crowd began clapping, snapping me back to reality - A standing ovation. Why do I have to be so short? I could barely see her as she began walking off the stage. I pushed myself through the mass of bodies, searching desperately between them, only catching a precious few glimpse's of her as she exited the building. I watched the door shut scornfully, catching my foot on something hard, I started tumbling in a frantic mess...

Arms wrapped around me, stopping my face from plummeting into the hard marble floor.

I knew this scent, and re-assembled myself as quickly as I could.

"Careful there Emma, if you fall into my arms too often, I might just decide to keep you there."

Hook's breath stunk of liquor. My face contorted in disgust and I managed to not completely process his words. Carefully avoiding catching sight of his (sure to be) arrogant grin; I tore myself from his arms and was finally free from the onslaught.

I briskly walked towards the door Regina had left through, trying not to look too desperate. As the door flung open in the hard wind I saw the mayor's vehicle drive off up the road.

Of course, Em. What did you expect? For her to wait for you with open arms? For her to tell you how much she'd needed to kiss you throughout her speech? Oh god her lips. This is crazy, I'm crazy.

My heart pounds just at the mere thought of her mouth near mine.

There were much more important issues for her to deal with than comforting her insane stalker-girlfriend-thing.
