Chapter 7:
Emma and Ruby sat at an empty table in the dining hall with their lunch. Emma explained everything that happened with Neal, Ruby nodded and listened.
"Shit, I can't believe I missed that. And you should have totally punched the bitch." Emma laughed as she took a sip of her Dr. Pepper. Victor appeared suddenly and covered Ruby's eyes.
"Guess who?" He whispered into her ear, Emma could see Ruby shiver.
"Johnny Depp." Victor laughed and sat down next to her. She pulled him into a hug then turned back to Emma.
"So now what are you going to do?"
"Who is going to do what?" Killian slide in the sit next to Emma as he messed up her hair. She swatted his hand away and fix her hair.
"Emma is single!" Ruby blurted out, Emma glared at her.
"Wow when did this happen?" Victor looked interested and Killian looked the happiest Emma had ever seen him.
"After class, I caught him almost kissing Tamara. I punched him and broke up with him." Victor laughed and gave her a high-five. He turned his attention back to Ruby and Killian leaned towards Emma, brushing his lips against her ear.
"Now we can really enjoy that shower." Emma turned to him, noses brushing against each other.
"Keep dreaming." She winked at him and Killian moaned.
"Killian!" He jumped at the suddenly yell of his name. Milah was suddenly in his lap again, sucking his face off. Emma groaned and looked at her fries.
"Milah, what the hell is wrong with you?!" Killian quickly pushed her off his lap. Emma giggled at the shocked expression on Milah's face. "We aren't together anymore."
"You keep saying that but I don't think you really mean it." Milah leaned in for another kiss when suddenly Killian whipped his head around and pulled Emma in for kiss. Her eyes got big with shock, Killian held the back of her neck and whispered against her mouth.
"Play along, please." Emma gripped the collar on his shirt and pressed her lips against his, her tongue ran along his lips till he gave her access. When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Milah was gone. She pulled herself away and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Emma looked at Ruby and Victor, their jaws were open in shock, and Killian's head fell on top of her shoulder as he sighed.
"Thank you so much, Swan. I owe you." Emma smiled and patted his head.
"I will be collecting that." She felt him smile against her shoulder before he straighten up.
"Thank God, you are single. I think it is time to celebrate." Ruby clapped with excitement.
"Oh my gosh please." Victor laughed at her excitement and threw his arm around her shoulders.
"We can go to Mad Hatter." Killian nodded and looked at Emma.
"What is Mad Hatter?"
"It is a bar that Jefferson' dad owns. Best place to get booze when you are under age." Emma blushed when Killian winked at her.
"Sounds fun. When?"
"Tonight." Ruby clapped again, the table laughed.
"Emma and I will meet you at 8." Emma nodded in agreement before standing up.
"I will see y'all later, I have a class to go to." She waved goodbye before leaving. Tonight is going to be amazing.
"Wow, Emma, you look amazing." Emma spun around for Ruby, laughing. She was wearing a tight black lace dress with sheer paneling in different spots.
"You aren't too bad yourself." Ruby spun, wearing the same dress only in red. There was a knock at the bathroom door, Ruby and Emma didn't even move to open it because they knew the guys would. Killian pushed the door open and whistled.
"Damn, it should be illegal for you girls to look that hot." He winked at them, Ruby and Emma blushed. Victor walked in and looked at Ruby, letting out a low whistle.
"You look gorgeous." Victor kissed her hand then turned to Emma.
"You look good too. Sorry." Emma smiled at him and rolled her eyes.
"You look gorgeous too, Emma." Jefferson walked through the door and Emma blushed again.
"I didn't know you were coming." She pulled Jefferson into a hug, Killian stiffen at the sight.
"Well it is my dad's bar plus I couldn't pass a chance to see you again." Jefferson looked at her then looked at the group. "Alright let's hit the road." They decided to take Victor's car since he said he would be the sober driver. Ruby climbed into the passenger's seat and Emma slide in between Killian and Jefferson. She sat with her hands in between her legs, feeling awkward. Killian and Jefferson had each placed a hand on her knees. Emma decided to stare at Victor and Ruby who were holding hands in the front. After an awkward half hour, they finally reached the Mad Hatter. Killian was the first to open his door and held his hand out to help Emma out. When she slid out, Killian placed a hand on the small of her back, while Jefferson put his arm around her shoulders. Ruby and Victor seemed to not notice anything that was going on with the rest of the group, they just whispered to each other and held hands.
"Welcome to Mad Hatter, I will get you a beer, Emma." Jefferson winked at her before walking towards the bar. Killian took her hand and led her over to an empty pool table.
"Have you played before?" He handed her a cue stick then grabbing his own.
"I was actually the best pool player at my old school." Emma winked at him and started getting the balls ready.
"Here you go." Jefferson passed a beer to Emma and Killian. "Are we playing pool?"
"Emma claims she is the best pool player ever." Killian mocked Emma, she hit him on the ass with her cue. Jefferson laughed and grabbed a cue.
"Victor, Ruby, come play." Emma waved over to the love birds. They walked over still holding hands.
"I will just watch. I am the worst at pool." Ruby sat herself down on a stool.
"Ok then, Victor and I verse you two." Emma point to Killian and Jefferson before turning to Victor. "Do you want to go first?"
"Ladies first." Victor gave Emma a small bow, making her giggle. She took a swing of beer before turning to the competition.
"What are the stakes?" Killian and Jefferson started whispering to each other before agreeing on something.
"Losers has to buy whatever drinks the winners want." Emma nodded and started positioning her hit. She hit the white ball, sending all the other balls everywhere. She got a solid ball in the pocket.
"We will be solids." Emma leaned over and hit again, pocketing another ball. She took another swing of beer before hitting again. She groaned when the ball stopped short of going in.
"So sorry, Swan. Now you can watch the master." Killian got a shot and got a stripe in the pocket. He smirked at Emma before leaning down for another shot.
"Master, my ass." Emma handed Ruby her cue, before walking across from Killian. She leaned on the table, making sure she wasn't breaking any rules and leaned down so Killian had a clear view down her dress. She heard him groan and she smiled.
"That is cheating, Swan."
"You should have better focus." The group laughed as Killian took his shot, he missed the shot. "Guess you don't." Emma teased before taking her cue back. Victor took his shot but missed. Jefferson got ready to take a shot when Emma did the same thing as she did with Killian.
"You do know I grew up in this bar." Jefferson looked at Emma and held eye contact as he took the shot, pocketing a ball. She groaned and crossed her arms. Killian and Jefferson gave each other high fives before Jefferson took another shot. He kept taking shots till there was one stripe ball left, luckily he missed that shot. Emma jumped up from her seat, ready to beat the guys. She lined up her shoot when Jefferson leaned across from her, biting the bottom of his lip and giving her a wink.
"You know I came from NYC." Emma mocked him as she held eye contact as she shot, pocketing two balls. Victor gave her a high five before she took another shot. Emma kept making shot after shot till just the eight ball was left for her to hit. As she focused on her shot, Killian slide next to her. He leaned over so his hands were on either side of her. He made sure not to be in the way of her shot as he leaned down to her ear. She groaned, trying to keep focus.
"That is cheating." Ruby glared at Killian, who winked at her. Jefferson and Victor were clutching their sides, laughing.
"It is not cheating if I am not in the way of her shot, lass." Emma slide her cue back, about the take the shot. Killian started rubbing his nose against her ear, she shook her head so that she could refocus. He then started to nipping at her earlobe and kissing behind her ear, moving down her neck. Emma sighed and took the shot. She made it. Emma threw her hands up and spun around kissing Killian on the cheek.
"Told you I was the best." Emma winked at him before being pulled into a hug from Ruby. Killian groaned and looked at her.
"Fine, fine. What drink do you want next?"
