She goes to her room and puts on a light Grey T-Shirt. When she is done getting dressed she takes her phone off of her dresser and opens the closet by the front door. As she takes her red leather off its special spot in the very front of the closet her phone buzzes.
"Hey David" She says into the speaker.
"Hey, I brought Snow down to the station with me this morning. We have some paperwork to do and mostly clean up stuff around the office with the lost boys, so I was just wondering if you wanted to come down for a bit to help out?"
"sur-" Emma hesitates knowing she's been back for two weeks already. Come on Emma, don't chicken out this time. "Actually I'm pretty busy today and I don't think I can make it" She lies "Sorry"
"It's fine, it's just busy work, so Snow and I should be home early tonight.
"Umm.." She pauses, trying to come up with a way out of staying with her parents for the night "I won't be done until late so I'm going to spend the night at Granny's" She hopes desperately he won't see right through her lie as she bites her tongue.
"Are you sure? Did I-"
"No no no!" She quickly stops him "It's not you or mom, I'm just really busy but tomorrow I will be at the station and ill pick up breakfast"
"Okay" He agrees "Well see you tomorrow morning" He says happily.
"Bye dad" She says dragging out the word 'bye' and hanging up the phone and grabbing her keys.
She walks down the stairs, outside of the door, one at a time, hesitating on every step. Should I really be doing this? She thinks. What am I even going to say? Then she speeds up to a normal pace. It's only a talk, whats the worse that can happen?
She walks slowly again to her small, yellow bug and opens the car door. She jumps in the car and puts the key in the ignition. She pulls out of the small parking space in the almost empty parking lot and looks at her phone. It's just after eight so she knows that Hook will be awake and be yelling out orders to his new deck hands. She looks back up to the road and starts down the street to the docks.
Emma pulls behind the building by the docks to hide her car so Hook wouldn't see her parked there for so long running over what she is planning on saying. She really does have feelings for him, but she has never been one to express her feelings since Neal.
She unlocks the car door and steps out into the frosty air as a breeze whips her hair behind her shoulders. She sees The Jolly Roger docked in its special spot. Hook reminded her of Jack Sparrow and his ship reminded her The Black Pearl from "Pirates of The Caribean" which is her second favourite movie, her first being "The Princess Bride" which might be why she likes Hook so much considering he always does a small bow and says 'as you wish' everytime she sees him, when really she imagines him saying 'I love you' which makes her light-headed. It makes her heart flutter every time he says this, which is not a feeling she has had is over 10 years since Neal.
"Love?" Emma looks up to see that she has walked to the bottom of the ramp at The Jolly Roger. Hook makes his way down the ramp from his post at the Wheel.
"Killian" She starts, realising that she used his real name of calling him 'Hook'.
"Is something wrong Swan?" Killian asks her as she realises her voice is shaking and her hands are tensed.
"Ya, no, kind of.." She tries to stop herself from studdering "It's just, I thought about what you said" She pauses and moves closer to him "About me avoiding you..."
"I'm sorry" She starts "I just-I like you too much to let you get hurt" Killian takes a step back, a bit hurt.
Emma fills the space again "I love you too much to let you get hurt"
He pulls her closer to him "I have been waiting to hear those words since Neverland" He pulls her close and kisses her lightly on the lips. Emma can taste the saltiness of the sea, but at the same time, she can taste the bitterness of the rum. And she likes it.
"I love you Swan"
Ok I got the second chapter posted (Yay!) I am attempting to type the third chapter right now so I can post it tonight, but don't bet on it though. I'm watching a movie with my parents so I'm probably going to be typing through that so hopefully I can post chapter 3 tonight also since I won't be posting for almost 3 days. Also, I'm sorry for any misspellings or other errors, my laptop isn't very new (it's not too old either) so the spell check isn't the greatest. For some reason, my laptop doesn't like the word 'mom' and autocorrects it to 'mum' ugh!
