HALLOWEEN AND A VERY SICK GAME PART 2 :EMMA'S TURN
"mmm, interesting... so what do you choose Emm?" Jesse asked her.
"are you in charge first?" Emma said and laughed a bit.
"I AM." Jesse answered firmly.
"then i pick truth..." Emma said again.
"are you scared of what he could have dare you to do emm?" Shal added some spice to the chat, now Brennan laughing softly.
"kinda, to be honest..." Emma said again.
"fine, you picked truth, so my question is, were you, or, are you in love with someone?" Jesse said. the team was on Emma now. The question was very personal. She didnt feel like answering it, but then she thought she had to.
"yeah." She said.
"yeah what? are you in love with someone? Or were you?" Shalimar said this time.
"Shal!" Emma said kinda angry that her friend was NOT HELPING her.
"dont go all mad at her Emm, see, you were so brave to go on, now answer the question." Jesse said again.
"but that was HER question, and i have to answer yours..." Emma added.
"do you really want me to ask it again? Just answer." Jesse said.
"fine! I dont really know, ok? I DO have some feelings, but i dont know!" Emma said half yelling half softly.
"ok, dont get irritated..." Brennan broke the bad vibe in the group.
"sorry..." Emma said honestly.
"now, what do you choose emm?" Shalimar asked.
"dare." Emma answered.
"bad choice hon..." Shalimar said with a smile. "I dare you to kiss one member of mutant x..."
"are you in?" Jesse said half teasing half serious. Shalimar laughed and then looked at Brennan who seemed to be avoiding the whole situation.
"yeah, but i dont think she'll kiss me..." Shalimar added with laughs.
"you betcha..." Emma said.
"wait???? Why????? Are you rejecting me?" Shalimar teased provoking Brennan and Jesse's laughing.
"dont be mad Shal, its not you, is me..." She laughed.
"well, dont avoid this Emm, you go and kiss one of us.." Shalimar said again. Emma started thinking. She wasnt kissing Shal, that left Brennan and Jesse. Brennan was like a brother to her, she thought of him as that. But Jesse wasnt HER brother... and she knew Shalimar and Brennan had something, not oficially, but they did have their moments, so if someone asked for an explanation she could say that.
"are you trying to vanish the wall?" Brennan asked letting her know they all saw her looking fiercely at the wall. Emma stood up quickly and walked towards Jesse. She caught his chin on her hands and kissed him softly and quicly.
"done." Emma said and went back to her seat. The team was speechless and she had noticed that. "i choose truth Brennan..."
"oh.. yeah..." Brennan came back to the world. He was still sharing looks with Shalimar, and Jesse was looking at everywhere but the teammembers.
"so...?" Emma added.
"yeah, i got it.. ah.. question is, how do you feel towards us?" Brennan came up with the best he could, but no one was surprised of the lousy question since they were still trying to figure out Emma's choice.
"ok, Adam is some sort of a father i guess, Shal would know better, i think of you as a family. Shal you are my best friend, Brennan, i think of you as an elder brother, and jess... you're a very good friend..." Emma ended. She didnt think of Jesse at that but she decided it was too soon to reveal feelings.
"okay..." Shalimar said. "i suggest a break and then we keep going.." She said as she headed to the bar.
"yeah, im with her..." Brennan answered leaving his friends alone.
"so... how's halloween being for you?" Shalimar asked Brennan.
"pretty much.. different..." He answered.
"good different or bad different?" She asked as she ordered 2 drinks.
"extremely great different Shal... i just... im quite shocked about Jesse's Emma's thing back there..." He said with a smile.
"im not. I knew she had something for him..." Shalimar added as she hanged him his drink.
"yeah, but what if it doesnt work out? Dont you think it'll jeopardize the whole team?" Brennan asked honestly.
"is that what you think?" Shalimar asked angrily.
"kinda." Brennan said firmly. Shalimar gave him a look and then left him alone. She was dancing with some guy as Brennan sat on the bar.
"wanna dance big guy?" A woman from behind him asked.
"sorry, im with my..." he started but then he saw Shalimar dancing with a guy and smiling and somehow he thought of accepting. "i mean, the drink can wait..."
"course it can..." the woman said as she dragged him to the dance floor.
Shalimar was now looking at Brennan who had suddenly arrived to the dance floor.
"what is it?" The guy with Shal asked her.
"nothing... nothing..." Shalimar answered.
(* * *)
"so... am i next?" Jesse asked Shalimar.
"go ahead..." Shalimar answered.
"i choose dare..." Jesse started.
"well... with no attempts of ruining the fun Jess... there's nothing i can think of making you do now you admitted your feelings towards Emma here... "Shalimar said laughing.
"the game is kinda boring now..." Brennan added.
"well, we still got one hour before this party ends... what are you suggesting?" Emma asked as she kissed Jesse.
"i think im going now..." Shalimar said a little sad. Brennan noticed her hurted and followed her.
"wait up Shal! I'll drive you home." Brennan said from behind her.
"ah ah... no, i rather go alone... it might give me some time to think." Shalimar answered not turning to face him.
"think? Shal are you ok?" Brennan asked concerned.
"yeah. Yeah...see you at sanctuary..." She said leaving a confused Brennan behind.
(* * *)
Shalimar took a look around and saw the sanctuary as she never did before. Completely empty and huge. She sat on a chair and stared thinking of all the times mutant x worked together. Especially those where she and Brennan were sent to missions together. She couldnt get him out of her head, and that was killing her. she loved her so much but she couldnt tell him, not now she knew he thought teammates couldnt be together.
"im surprised you didnt notice me... or did you?" Brennan said walking towards her.
"Brennan? How did you get here so early? I mean i left and you... wait, why are you here?" Shalimar asked as she stood up.
"I didnt want you to go home alone..." Brennan said firmly.
"oh... well... maybe i should.. you know.. catch some sleep..." Shalimar said as she started walking away.
"I dont." Brennan said from behind her loudly.
"what?" Shalimar asked confused.
"I dont think it might jeopardized the team. I really dont. I dont think it has to end, and i do believe i..." Brennan couldnt go on. It was a hell of a confession what he was going to do.
"Brennan please dont do this..." Shalimar said going back to him.
"do what?" Brennan asked her.
"you know what! you dont care about me as i do about you! so dont promise me anything..." Shalimar said to him. she started walking away but she felt an arm holding hers. Brennan turned her to face him and slammed her to the nearest wall kissing her deeply.
(* * *)
"time to go?" Jesse asked as he finally managed himself to stay away from Emma.
"ah.. ok... actually... it would be SO much better if we stayed a little more.. you know.. for Shal and Brennan..." She said innocently.
"yeah.. our dearest friends... they deserve time on their own..." Jesse said as he approached to the redhead and kissed her again.
"aha... for them.." Emma repeated.
(* * *)
"wait... what was that for?" Shalimar asked as she managed HERSELF to drive away the passion and heat that was taking over her.
"i tried to tell you, you know..." Brennan said as he played with a strand of her hair.
"what? you... are saying...?" Shalimar asked again.
"i love you Shal... and im not letting you go..." Brennan said kissing her again. "question here is: do YOU feel the same about me?"
"cant believe you're asking..." Shalimar said as she wrapped her hands on his neck and started kissing him now.
"you'll see now.. the only one left is Adam..." Brennan whispered between hard breathes.
"i think he can take care of it himself..." Shalimar replied as Brennan put her softly on his bed and started kissing her again.
