Hey, Thank you so much to everyone who read the first chapter! It means so much to me and makes me really happy:3 So I hope you enjoy the second one. (I managed to update 2 chapters in 2 days so yaay)
Killian Jones showed up to work every morning at exactly 8:15 AM. First he changed his clothes(all leather) to his less comfortable Captain Hook costume and afterwards he ate breakfast at Granny´s, the little restaurant in the middle of the amusement park where he would sometimes run into Emma Swan eating there too with her friends.
Oh god Emma Swan, this woman stole his breath from the first moment he saw her, when she nearly ran him over. He would have never expected that a woman could have this effect on him again (not after the last time where everything went so badly just because he let a woman into his heart).
After that he swore to himself no one ever would mean that much to him again. He tried to deny his growing feelings for Emma at first, he really did but every time she smiled or he hears her laugh he feels himself getting all warm inside, which was extremely unlikely for Killian Jones because he doesn´t do feelings and relationships. (not since then)
Stop it, Jones he thought as he made his way once more into the men's changing room. Don´t allow yourself to think like that. She clearly wasn't interested.
A few weeks went by and Emma slowly got used to her new coworker and his attempts at flirting with annoyed at the beginning she found it rather amusing with time and sometimes even gave witty comebacks which made him smirk every single time.
She also had to admit that he was insanely attractive and it couldn't have negative consequences if she watched him every now and then while standing on her spot in the park a few metres away from him. Especially not when he caught her staring and threw one of these amazing smiles in her direction.
However it was getting more and more difficult for her to deny the growing feelings towards him but that didn't stop her from trying to do it anyways. She just couldn´t allow herself to get that vulnerable again (not until last time when she was a foolish young woman letting herself fall head over heels for Neal and giving him the power to hurt her so very badly)
Ugh get it together, Swan she thought to herself as she made her way to Granny´s where she was going to meet with the girls.
Still deep in his thoughts, he walked down the small lane between Hansel and Gretel´s house and little Red Riding Hoods little forest. Moving around a corner he saw one of Emma´s friends approaching him until it was too late to act like he didn't saw her.
"Hey, I'm Ruby, a friend of Emma's" "uh, cool, eh I´m Killian but I think you already know that." He answered with a wink. Laughing she pulled to a stop and continued talking. "You probably wonder why I came to talk to you" Well yes, he thought.
"Okay so actually I'm not supposed to know any of this but Elsa, the other blonde one, told me you seem to be fond of Emma and I just wanted to tell you that I'd approve if you'd tried to start things with Emma." Wait, what? This was definitely going in a completely different direction than what he first thought.
"Don't get me wrong Ruby, but what exactly are you trying to tell me right now?" "I´m telling you that Emma works really hard and barely has time for doing anything besides working so she should allow herself some fun and I think you could help her with that. We all think that. I mean Elsa and I and probably Mary-Margaret too but I'm not sure about that but she just wants Emma to be happy so I think that you might have a chance with her if you just try hard enough."
After his little talk with Ruby he changed his mind about going to Granny's for breakfast and found himself wandering around in the park trying to progress what Emma's friend just told him.
He just couldn't believe that his feelings were that obvious. He thought he was better at hiding them. Sure he practically flirted with her 24/7 but he didn't think it was coming over this serious.
Killian wasn't that sure what he should think about the part that Emma needs some fun in her life and that her friends think he could help with that. What the hell? He didn't even think she remotely likes him, so getting her to change her mind about him might prove to be a tad difficult.
Realising he wasted way too much time he hastily ran towards the "Jolly Roger" where he would spend his day in reach of Emma, having to watch her playing beautiful princess and interacting with children which was basically the cutest thing ever. (Even he himself as Captain Hook could never suppress his smile when she was trying to make stubborn little boys and girls laugh)
Arriving at Granny's she found that Elsa, Ruby and Mary-Margaret weren't there yet so she ordered her coffee and waffles and then got down in their favourite booth proceeding to wait for her friends.
Just as she was trying to get comfortable the door opened again and Elsa walked in with Mary-Margaret, a petite dark haired woman Emma was friends with since she started working here at and Mary-Margaret already were in their costumes, Elsa´s pretty blue and sparkling one (the same name really was a coincidence) and Snow White´s beautiful yellow and blue one.
Greeting Emma they slid into the booth opposite of her as the door opened a second time and Ruby stepped into the room, looking a bit stressed out.
As everyone ordered their breakfast (Ruby of course had to playfully argue with her Grandmother who happened to be the owner of restaurant, which lead to some laughter between the friends because it was always like that with the two of them) they finally set down and let themselves enjoy their meals talking about their week so far.
"So Emma, how is everything going with Killian Jones?" Elsa asked in a teasing tone, trying to suppress her laugh (Ruby didn't do a good job about it either). "Ugh can't you just leave me alone for one second? Seriously there is NOTHING going on between the two of us. There isn't even a two of us."
Surprised, Mary-Margaret looked up sensing some tension. "Wait, is there something going on I should know about? Emma you can tell us everything you know that, right?" Rolling her eyes she proceeded to answer her overly concerned friend."Yes, "mom". And no there isn't. We just happen to have our spots near to each other which leads to a conversation every now and then and Elsa and Ruby here make a great deal about it when it really just is nothing."
Turning away to get her phone out of her bag, Emma's friends looked pointedly at one another. "Well there clearly is not nothing going on or you wouldn't react so upset." Mary-Margaret pointed out. "I did not react upset in the slightest way. If you keep going to annoy me like that I'd rather go and call David because I have some important matters to discuss with him."
Standing up and making her way in direction of the exit she heard her friends laughing quietly to themselves. Uggh what was it with them? Do they always have to make such a big fuss out of everything she thought typing in the phone number of her brother on her mobile phone.
Something seemed to be off with Emma today he thought as he watched her over the heads of a few families. She just acted differently as if she was thinking about something hard.
Walking over to her sometime later he asked her what the matter with her was and she just brushed it off as if nothing was wrong. But clearly there was. Not wanting to push her he pulled out a water bottle and started drinking, watching as she did the that she wasn't in the mood to speak he made his way back to his original spot where he spent the rest of the afternoon.
After the daily parade he walked towards the changing rooms quietly whistling to himself. As he round the last corner he saw Emma standing before them, dressed in her normal clothes looking as if she waited for someone. Walking slowly towards he she turned around and managed a small smile which hit him of guard. (of course, great Killian. Play it off cool)
"Hey" he managed to say. "Hey" she said back. "Rough day eh? Are you waiting for someone?" he asked, not wanting to sound too curious. "Yeah, my brother David is going to pick me up." "You have a brother? I didn't know that. So umm, have fun, I guess. See you tomorrow, love."
Wanting to reply she got interrupted by a boy's voice shouting "Mom, hey I missed you." Turning around he saw a tall blonde man walking in the direction of them as a little boy, maybe of the age of 12, run into the arms of Emma.
So, here's Henry, David and Mary-Margaret. I hope you'll stay with me till the next chapter and I'm always really happy for reviews and comments!:) Thanks for reading3
