They walked down the streets of Washington until they had reached Emily's apartment.

"This is it" She said standing outside the door to the apartment building.

"I'm glad we did this" She added smiling. Aaron smiled back taking her hand.

"So am I" He said slowly starting to lean in. Emily finished what he was doing and kissed him. This kiss wasn't like the first two, it was slow and gentle. She could taste the peperoni pizza he had had earlier. His hands resting softly on her waist, and hers at the back of his neck.

Too soon the kiss ended, Emily looked into Aarons eyes, his beautiful hazel eyes. She felt like everything in the world made sense. Even though evrything in her was telling her that this wasn't going to work out, her heart told her it would. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him. She looked up at him smiling and kissed his cheek. Emily took a step back, pulling her coat around her tighter to try to stay warm.

"i'll talk to you tomorrow" She said, her smile growing at the thought.

"Goodnight" He said as she started to walk to the door. She waved, looking back at him one last time before the door was shut. Aaron smilled and started to walk towards his apartment, which was a fifteen minute walk away from hers. He didn't mind walking longer then he had to, even when the rain came on and he was getting soaked he continued to smile. He smiled the whole way home thinking anticipation of what tomorrow would bring.

As Emily walked into the White House, she was quickly joined by Aaron.

"Good Morning Emily" He said passing her coffee, the order that was to ridiculous to forget.

"Aaron" She said, taking a sip of her coffee. He looked over at her and she smiled. Some people would think that it was nothing new, the both of them standing so closely, but what they couldn't see was their hands, touching so slightly they shouldn't even have noticed, but they did.

"I'll talk to you later, I need to go talk to Kirkman" She said looking up at him. Aaron nodded and they parted ways.

Emily walked into her office a couple of hours later to find Aaron waiting for her. She smiled as she walked to her desk.

"I need coffee" She said grabbing her coat and her bag. Aaron smiled and quickly followed her.

"Has Kirkman given you a job yet?" Emily asked. Aaron laughed.

"No, not yet, but Kirkman says he'll tell me before I leave tonight" Emily smilled and thought back to the meeting she had had with Kirkman earlier.

"Emily I was thinking about what job I'm going to give to Aaron, and I want to know what you think." Tom said, Emily nodded and waited for him to continue.

"I was think that you two could work together again, maybe as cheif of staff, both of you." Tom said, Emily knew why he was saying this, she had thought about it herself.

"When you two work together, your a force to be reckonded with" Tom added.

"So we would both be cheif of staff?" Emily asked.

"Yes, you would both have the same security clearance and would both have to work closely together." He said. Emily couldn't tell if Tom was asking her if it was okay, or telling her in advance.

"I think that would be a good idea, as you said we both work together well." Emily said with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

"Great, I'll tell him later." Tom replied.

"Could I tell him?" Emily asked, Tom nodded and the smile that had been tugging at her lips was now a gigantic grin.

They were now walking down to the coffee place Emily loved. She smiled thinking about how he would react when she told him.

"Aaron" Emily said as they crossed a road. Aaron looked over at herand his eyes went wide. Emily could hear a scream before it all went dark.

Emily looked around and everything was blurry. She could hear screams and shouts coming from somewhere on her right, she looked over her vision no longer blurred. She could see someone laying on the ground. She tried and failed to get up unitl she remembered. Aaron had pushed her out of the way. Her heart stopped dead. She tried to get up but physically couldn't.
