III

Carl left the condo that same night and came back to his apartment. He had been real gentlemen. Emma wished he had at least yelled at her, but he left silently wishing her the best and disappearing from her life. The annulment papers were going to be ready for the end of the week so she come back to reality and tried to move on, despite all the guilt she was still feeling.

Emma was now a single woman again, but she had no intentions of coming back to Will what so ever. She still resent him for cheating her with Shelby and April, plus he was dating Holly. And Emma remembered Holly… She was the one who exposed her, she suspected she had feeling for Will and that´s why she asked her and now she was dating him. That couldn´t be a coincidence. Emma was taken by anger and jealousy and those feeling made her think the worst from Holly. The truth is she never liked Holly that much, but she never thought she was a mean person until, that day. She forced herself to continue with her paperwork and get ready for the kids evaluations. She really wanted to finish with that assignment as soon as possible, but she knew it was going to take three days of exclusive work at least.

Emma decided to skip lunch again; she had lost her appetite again so she took that time to keep up with the valuations. She didn´t see Will in the whole day, she was glad she didn´t but deep inside herself she wanted to. And she felt silly for wanting such thing. When the bell rang announcing the end of the day, she headed straight to her car. In her way she saw Will from the distance talking on his phone. He was definitively happy; he had a playful smile on his mouth and Emma couldn´t help to feel fire in her stomach. Desire and jealousy mixed up inside her, while she stared at Will standing next to her car. When he saw her he waved his hand asking her to wait for him. She nodded and stood there, feeling the tiniest women on the earth.

"Hey, Em… didn´t see you today", he was being really nice lately, because he really wanted to be Emma´s friend. He wanted her in his life, no matter how. "How´re the evaluations going?"

"Hi, will… hum, yeah I decided to stay in my office…I'm really delayed with the paper work, luckily today i´ll finished and tomorrow I'll stop by in the glee rehearsal to take the evaluations. Is that ok?"

"That´s perfect" He smiled her. Awkward silence. Something was wrong with Emma since the previous day, but he was afraid to ask her. He wanted to stay in his own business, he already knew what happened the last time he tried to help her with her marriage. And he was sure this time there was something wrong about it.

"So… uhm… I… I better be going" Emma brought him back to reality, her eyes were wide opened and her hair was a little messy because of the wind. He noticed she was uncomfortable so he smiled her back and said goodbye.

Will didn´t understand what was happening to Emma. She was being distant like she was trying to avoid him, but it seemed she didn´t want to do that. It seemed she was having a rough time with it. His phone rang, it was Holly.

"Hey, sexy pants" she said when he answered, "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, sorry about that… I wanted to say some things to Emma"

"Don´t tell me that, I told you how I feel about it…." She teased him, remembering what she told him on Friday "I got jealous" they both giggled

"Who would have said it?" he teased her back, "So when are you coming back?" Will asked her, curiously

"Probably near weekend…. This retirement was a bad idea" she laughed, "Really, I need some rock and roll instead this sedative music. So I expect you take care of that when I return" she added seductively.

"I will" he replied on the game.

Back in his apartment, Will did nothing but relax. He sat on the couch with a cold beer in his hand. He rested his head back and watched the game, while something was turning around his head. I got jealous. He shocked his head off taking away those ideas… it was just ridiculous.
