A/N: I changed the rating to T, just in case. I doubt that I'll write smut this time, so it should remain at T. Thanks for the Reviews! It definitely motivates me!
Night 1
They had agreed to Will picking up Emma at 7 pm the next night. He refused to reveal where he'd be taking her, but she said that she would be willing to try almost anything (other than dairy farms or anywhere else that was too messy, of course). It had been a beautiful day, though neither of them got to enjoy it too much. Will spent the day thinking of where to take Emma for dinner, and Emma had spent the day deciding what to wear. By 5, Will had decided on the new Italian restaurant in town, and Emma had decided on the new red dress she had bought before school ended. Will left the house around 6:30, even though he knew it was only about a 10 minute drive to Emma's house.
When he got there, he debated sitting in the car for another 20 minutes, but figured that Emma would be ready early anyways. He strutted to the front door and rang the doorbell. "Coming!" Emma opened the door, and she was clearly not ready for the date. Her hair was only halfway finished and she had yet to even start her make-up. Will stood there, flowers in-hand, staring at her.
"Emma, you look amazing. These are for you." He handed her the assortment of flowers he picked out.
"No, I don't. You're early! I need to finish getting ready. Gimme a couple minutes?" She pointed towards the living room and ran off to the bathroom to finish.
Will went into the living room and began looking at all the pictures and books she had on her shelves. Everything from War and Peace to Twilight was on the bookshelves, and he couldn't help but smile at this. He would never have pictured her for someone who read Twilight. He, then, began gazing at the pictures she had framed. There was a picture of, who must be, her brother and her when they were younger. Then, there was a family picture of her parents and them. He was mesmerized by her.
"Okay, Will! I'm ready." Emma came running into the living room adjusting her earrings. "What are you smiling at?"
"Your family pictures."
"You're a little snoop, you know that?"
Will smiled. "It's one of my more endearing qualities, don't you think?" He paused. "You ready?"
"Yes, let's go."
Will placed his hand in the small of her back and ushered her out the door and to his car, where he held the door open for her. His touch sent tingles up her spine. No other man had ever had this effect on her.
"So, ehm where are we going?" Emma asked once they had gotten settled in the car.
"The Italian place up the street. I heard it was good, always wanted to try it."
"Okay. I, ehm, didn't really let you talk last night when I barged into your home. What've you been doing this summer?"
"Thinking about you." Will smiled and looked at her. She blushed but couldn't stop the smile from forming. "Nothing at all. Watched some movies, went down to the pool one day. It's been so hot."
The radio was playing faintly in the background, but Will turned it up a tad when he heard what song was playing.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
He began singing along. He knew his singing could make Emma's heart melt.
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Wouldn't it be nice
Emma's eyes were glued to Will. "Okay, Em. We're here." She snapped out of it and followed Will into the restaurant. The hostess led them to a booth that was sort of secluded in the back, which Emma appreciated.
"Will, this is really nice. Thank you."
"Not necessary. What looks good?"
"I think I'm going to have the fish. What about you?"
"I'm a sucker for spaghetti."
They ordered their meals, and Emma noticed that Will was scooting closer and closer to her at their booth. When he realized he wasn't being subtle anymore, he took one final scoot until their thighs were touching.
"Will, ehm, what are you doing?"
He smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She playfully pushed his knee away. "Do you normally act like this on a first date?"
"But this isn't our first date. I mean, not really. Besides, I haven't been on a first date since I was 15." He moved his mouth within inches of her neck, until she could feel his breath. "And you're too beautiful to resist."
Oh, you wanna play it like that do you? Emma couldn't help but thinking that Will knew exactly the effect he was having on her. She ignored it until they got their meals. As they were eating their respective meals, she slipped off the black heel on her left foot. She slowly and carefully ran her foot up Will's leg, starting at his ankle and ending mid-thigh. All the while, she continued eating her food and didn't even look up from her plate.
"Emma!" Will wriggled just a bit. "What are you doing?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." She couldn't stop the smirk from appearing on her lips.
"This is payback for earlier, isn't it?"
"Maybe."
"I like it." Will smiled at her. She slipped her foot back into the shoe, and they continued their meal.
After coffee, Will picked up the check, even though Emma insisted on splitting it. They left the restaurant, and Will kept his arm around her the entire walk to the car. He teased the small of her back by making small circles. He felt her shiver at one point, and he knew the effect he had on her.
Once they got back to Emma's house, Will walked her to the door. He assumed that she was going to invite him in, but she stopped him as they got to the front door. "Goodnight, Will."
"What? That's it?"
She leaned in, as if she was going to kiss him on the lips, but as he closed his eyes, her mouth darted towards his cheek, which she pecked. "Payback." With that, she went inside and shut the door behind her.
