Emma and Killian's mouths both fell agape, not believing their eyes. The bakery is empty, except for two people, Elsa and Liam.
And Liam is leaning over the counter, Elsa behind it and Liam in front as he kisses her.
Killian clears his throat loudly as he and Emma approaches, causing them to break apart.
"Is that how your brother greets all the women he meets?" Emma asks Killian.
Her voice makes Liam spin around and he gives her a double take when he sees her holding Killian's hand and then turns back to Elsa, who looks utterly confused. She is blushing but also looks unsure of what had just happened.
Liam looks at Emma again, gesturing towards her. "Wait, you're Emma?"
"Liam, what the bloody hell is going on?" Killian demands.
Liam only flashes a coy grin, looking a bit embarrassed.
Emma puts the pieces together in her head. Elsa is flustered and clearly only the receiver of the kiss and Liam did come there looking for Emma, with the intention of getting a rise out of Killian and without the knowledge that Elsa had even existed.
"Wait... did you think that she was me?" Emma asks Liam as she points to Elsa.
Liam has a guilty smirk on his face as he holds out his hand to Emma.
"I'm Liam. Nice to meet you, Emma."
Killian gives him the death look, causing Liam to drop his hand.
"So, are you going to tell me why in the bloody hell you were trying kiss my girlfriend, you ponce?"
"Relax, Killian, I was only doing it to joke around."
"Well, I'm not amused, Liam."
"Come on, you're going to be mad at me now? It's not like I actually kissed her."
"That's not the point and you know it. You never know when to stop with your little pranks and now this..."
"Killian, it's fine." Emma puts a hand on his shoulder to calm him. "Come on. If he tried that with me, I would have slapped him," she says with a smile as she cups his jaw in her hand, urging him to face her. "No one kisses me but my Killian."
His lips pull into a small smile as he kisses her lips.
"Well, I can't say that I'm sorry I didn't get to say you slap him," he teases and looks back to Liam.
Liam smiles back in relief. "You were right, brother. She is a feisty one."
Emma looks at Elsa and urges her over. "Liam, I would like you to meet my friend and assistant, Elsa."
Elsa walks around the counter and stands beside Emma.
Liam smiles coyly and extends a hand out to her. "Apologies, milady. I hope you can forgive me."
Elsa doesn't seem to mind as she shakes his hand and they both gaze at one other like they've been love-struck. "It's okay. You just took me by surprise. It's not everyday a tall, handsome stranger walks and greets me with a kiss."
"Killian, you failed to mention the other beautiful blonde that works here," he says, still looking at Elsa.
Emma and Killian exchange smiles.
"Will you be joining us for lunch?" Liam asks Elsa.
"Sure. I would love to. I just have to close up."
"I'll help," Emma says and goes over to lock the front door.
"You boys think you can occupy yourselves while we finish here?"
"Sure, but you ladies need any help?"
"That's okay. We can manage." The girls dissapear into the back while Liam and Killian sit at one of the tables. Liam gives his brother a knowing smile.
"What?"
"Nothing," Liam says, sitting back in his seat.
"Come on, tell me. What is it?"
"I've just never seen you this happy before. I think it's cute my little brother's in love."
"Yes well apparently both of the Jones brothers are suckers for green-eyed blondes."
"At least we finally agree on something," Liam laughs. "I can't blame you for wanting to stay here."
"I have missed you, though, brother."
"I've missed you too. And again I'm sorry for trying to kiss Emma. You're right, sometimes I go too far with the pranks."
"Why don't we just forget it ever happened."
"Right, but only that part. I won't forget about that kiss with Elsa, though."
Killian's smile fades and is replaced with a look of concern. "Look, just please be careful. Elsa's a good friend of Emma's and a friend of mine as well. And you're going back to England in a week."
"So, what's you're point?"
"My point is I don't want Elsa to get hurt... or you for that matter."
"Killian, what makes you think I would hurt her?"
"I'm just saying you shouldn't get too attached, brother."
"I'll be fine, Killian. I can control myself when it comes to beautiful women," Liam assures him.
Killian looks skeptical. Liam has never been one to show restraint around women he likes and more often than not, it gets him in trouble.
"So does mean, I don't get to see cute baby pictures of Killian, then?" Emma asks Liam as they sat at a booth in Granny's Diner.
"Well, actually I did bring them, but wasn't planning on showing them unless my little brother decided to piss me off and I'd have to get back at him," he teases as he winks at Killian.
"Liam, how many times must I tell you not to call me little?" Killian sighs.
"Emma, is he always this grumpy with you?"
"No. But then again, I don't call him little," she smirks. "Because there's nothing little about him."
Killian's lips form into a goofy grin as he turns and cups her jaw, pulling her into a toe-curling kiss.
"That's more information I ever needed to know," Liam says to Elsa as Killian and Emma were too wrapped up in their kiss to hear him.
Elsa laughs in agreement.
"Excuse me, you two love birds, we came here to eat, not to watch you two suck face," Liam says, causing them to pull away from their kiss.
"Apologies. I can't help myself." He wraps his arm around her shoulder and kisses her cheek as their waitress with long, dark hair and red lips approaches.
"Hey guys. This must be the infamous Jones brother I've heard about?"
"Aye. This is Liam. Liam, Ruby."
Liam extends his hand to her and she reaches out to shake it.
"Nice to meet you, Liam."
"You too, lass."
"So, Emma, where's August? I haven't seen him in here lately and wanted to tell him that I was sorry to hear about Marco."
"He's at the house. But I can tell him for you, if you'd like."
"Yeah, please. Or just tell him to stop in."
"Okay, I will."
"What can I can you get all to drink?"
After they order their drinks, they look over the menus as Ruby leaves.
"So, what did you want to do afterwards?" Emma asks no one in particular.
"Well, I think you two lasses should pick since you're from here. What's a fun thing to do around Storybrooke?" Liam asks the girls.
"Hmmm... not much really," Emma replies.
"Oh, I know, we can go mini-golfing," Elsa suggests. "Other than that and the movie theatre, there's not much else unless you wanted to leave town."
"That sounds fun. What do you say, Killian?" Liam asks him.
"Anything I can kick your butt at, I'm up for."
"We'll see brother."
"Or, we could play in teams. Guys against girls," Emma suggests.
"Allright, you ladies are on," Liam replies.
"Hey, we should invite August. He needs to get out of the house and have some fun," Emma adds.
"That's a great idea, love. The more, the merrier," Killian agrees.
"Yeah, but if we're playing teams, we'll need another player," Elsa reminds them.
Emma smirks mischievously as she looks behind Liam towards the front counter. "I think I know who we could ask."
They look confused as they turn to see who she's looking at.
"Oh, you mean Ruby?" Elsa asks.
"Yeah, why not? She flirts with August all of the time, but he's always been too shy to ask her out."
When Ruby approaches the table, she sets down their drinks in front of the respective owner.
"Are you guys ready to order?"
"I think we're going to need a minute. But we were wondering if you wanted to play a round of mini-golf with us at the Waterhole when you get out of work."
Ruby looks at them confused. "That sounds fun, but I don't know. I don't really want to intrude."
"You won't be intruding. And August will be there, too, so you can send your regards yourself." Emma tells her.
"Really?" she asks a bit too excitedly. "Okay, then count me in," she replies, smiling. "I get out at four o'clock."
"Perfect we'll meet you there at five then," Emma says.
"Okay, great. I'll be back to get your orders."
After Ruby walks away, Emma pulls out her phone to text August. "Now hopefully we can get August to come."
E: You should hang out with us. Killian and I are with Liam and Elsa and we're going mini-golfing at 5:00.
A: I don't know... you guys don't want me tagging along.
E: I'm not taking no for an answer... and did I mention Ruby's going to be there?
Emma sends it and waits for a response as Ruby comes back to take their orders. After the waitress jots them down and leaves, Emma receives his reply.
A: Okay, I'll be there.
"So, Emma, Killian says you have a son?" Liam asks her.
"Yeah, his name's Henry. He's spending the night at a friend's house. I'm sure you'll get to meet him at some point."
"Well, I look forward to it, lass."
They continue to engage in pleasant conversation as Ruby brings them their food.
At five o'clock, the six of them meet at the Waterhole and walk up to the booth outside the recreation center.
"Can we get six games, please?" Killian asks the woman working there. He pays for the games and they each take a colored ball and a golf club from the counter.
"Thanks, Killian. You didn't have to pay for me," Ruby tells him.
"Not a problem, lass."
"Yes, thank you," August says as they walk up to the first hole.
"Just glad you could come with us."
"Well, it was either this or moping around the house."
Elsa, Emma and the Jones brothers all hide a knowing smirk because they know why he really came.
Ruby gives him a sympathetic smile as she rubs his arm. "I'm sorry to hear about Marco."
"Thanks, Ruby," he says, meeting her gaze.
"Well how should we split into teams? Men versus woman?" Emma asks.
"Or we could do teams of two," Elsa suggests.
"Yes, I want to be on your team, love," Killian says to Emma as he wraps his arms around her waist from behind.
"I agree with Elsa. What do you say, can I be on your team?" Liam asks Elsa as he winks at her.
Elsa smiles and blushes at the way he looks at her. "Well, I suppose."
"Well, Ruby, I guess your stuck with me," August says to her with a shy smile.
She flashes him a beaming one as she replies. "Guess so. Oh and I should warn you guys, I'm really good at this," Ruby boasts. "I've been coming here since I was a kid."
"That's okay, we love a challenge, don't we brother?" Liam says to Killian.
"Aye. That's right. So, who's going first?"
"I'll go," Elsa says and places her ball on the ground, taking her stance before she taps on it with the club. The ball rolls down the center and goes directly into the hole.
"Whoohoo," Elsa shouts and Liam gives her a high five before he takes his turn and gets a hole in one as well, followed by Ruby and August. The four of them move to the next hole as Emma takes her turn.
"You need some help with that, love?" Killian asks her as he comes up behind her and grabs her hips.
"Go away, you're making it hard to concentrate," Emma laughs as he kisses her ear. "Don't you want to win?"
"I'm already a winner. I got you, don't I?"
Emma rolls her eyes. "That's so cheesy. Now back away so I can take this shot."
"You're such a fun-ruiner," he teases, not letting her go.
"Hmmm. That's not what you said last night," she quips with a mischievous smile as she turns to kiss his lips.
"Mmm, that's true."
"Will you two hurry up? We're already done with the second hole," Elsa shouts to them as they walk to the third one.
"Just wait until I get you alone, Swan," he whispers, biting her earlobe before releasing her from his hold.
Her whole body tingles as she bites her lip and tries to focus on the ball before she taps it, sending it into the hole.
"Good job, love." Killian steps up and before he hits the ball, she stands behind him and taps his behind, eliciting a low growl from him.
"It's for good luck."
Killian misses the hole the first time, but gets it in the second.
"You better watch it, love, or we're both going to lose, he says as he retrieves their balls and walks with her to the second hole.
"You started it."
After they all finally finish with Ruby and August in first place and Emma and Killian in last place (because they couldn't keep their hands off of each other), they gave the clubs back and went to Ruby and Killian's cars in the parking lot.
"Well, that was fun," Ruby says as she unlocks her door.
"Yeah, it would have been more fun if we didn't have to wait so long for the two slowest mini-golf players in the world," Elsa teases as she looks at Emma and Killian.
"Sorry, lass. We were just helping eachother out."
"Oh right. And how did groping eachother work out for you two? Oh right, you both lost."
Liam laughs at Elsa's remarks. "I think I like this one. She's got fire."
"Okay, well I'm going to take off. August, do you want to ride with me?" Ruby asks him. "It must be cramped with the five of you in one car."
"Sure. Thanks Ruby." August walks to her car as the rest of them give eachother knowing smirks.
The four of them get into Killian's car, Emma in the passenger and Liam and Elsa in the backseat. "Where to next?" Killian asks them.
"You can come over to my place if you would like, unless you two would like some brother bonding."
"I've got all week to bond with this git," Killian teases. "Why don't we all watch a movie at my place?"
"Okay, sounds good to me," Elsa says.
Killian drives them to his house and they walk inside, turning on the lights.
"What would you like to drink?" Killian asks Elsa as she and Liam sit on the couch to pick a movie on Netflix.
"I'll take whatever you have."
"Red Wine, Rum, Coke or juice."
"Um, I'll take a rum and coke, if you wouldn't mind."
"Not at all lass. I owe you a drink for all the drinks you've made me, anyways. Emma, would you like one too?" He asks as he takes a bottle of rum and a can of coke from the refrigerator and presses a quick kiss to her forehead.
"Yeah, I'll take one. I think it's a Rum kind of night."
"That's my girl, he says as he grabs another coke. "Liam, you just want rum right?" Killian calls to him.
"Yeah," he calls back. "Why don't you make some popcorn too, Killian."
"Anything else, you're majesty?"
"That'll be all. Thank you kind sir," Liam teases.
Emma reaches into the kitchen pantry and grabs two bags of popcorn, putting one in the microwave.
When the popcorn is done, they both join Elsa and Liam in the living room, handing them their drinks and a bowl of popcorn to share.
"Sorry, we claimed the couch," Liam smirks as they start the movie.
"That's okay. The recliner's better anyway," Killian says winking at Emma. "You'll just have to sit on my lap, love."
"I think I'm okay with that," she says, smiling back at him.
"Do you guys want a blanket?" she asks them.
"No, that's okay, I'm fine," Elsa replies.
"I'm good, too."
"Why don't you grab one for us, love?" Killian asks her with mischief in his eyes.
Emma smirks as she goes to the closet to grab one from the top shelf and turns off the lights before she sits in Killian's lap, spreading the blanket over them with the popcorn in her lap. Killian adjusts himself in a comfortable position and wraps his arms around Emma's waist as she sits back against his chest. Killian peppers her cheek with soft kisses and whispers in her ear. "Best seat in the house."
His words makes her spine tingle as she smiles and tilts her head back to kiss his lips. After they break the kiss, she turns her attention to the movie.
After an hour in, they've all finished the popcorn and drinks, setting them on the coffee table.
Elsa and Liam sit in a more comfortable position as he stretches his arm over the edge of the couch and she leans back against it only inches away from him.
Killian and Emma become more occupied with eachother than the movie as his hands wander to her thighs. She rests her head on his shoulders as he parts her legs a bit under the blanket. Their lips linger over each over, not wanting to be too obvious if Elsa and Liam were to look over in their direction. His hands slowly move upward to her center and Emma closes her eyes as he palms her through the confined clothing. He starts kissing her neck as one his hands quietly unzips her jeans and slides underneath her underwear. She has to stifle a moan as she feels his erection pressed between them. His fingers slip between her folds, flicking her clit as her breath becomes shallow.
Emma finds it difficult not to make a sound as he's touching her like this, but somehow manages. He rocks his fingers in and out of her, slowly at first as he whispers dirty things in her ear. "So fucking hot and wet for me, love."
At that point, she almost lets a moan slip out, but bites her tongue. Killian moves his fingers quicker as she does her best not to move a muscle or make a sound. His free hand reaches under her shirt and bra and starts pinching her hard nipples. She feels her orgasm building and doesn't think she can hold back the moans any longer so she turns her head to find Killian's lips and let's out a quiet, muffled moan as she comes in his hand. She quickly looks to Liam and Elsa, but they're too preoccupied with the movie to notice a thing. She leans her head back and relaxes against him as she comes down from her high and tries to catch her breath. Killian smirks against her skin and kisses her cheek as he carefully removes her fingers from her, zipping her pants back up.
Emma has a satisfied smirk on her face while they watch the rest of the movie and she thinks of a way to get him back.
