Future Ficlet – Follows Part Nine
Peter watched Emma intently.
He watched the way her eyes sparkled and danced, and the way her mouth dropped open.
She liked it. Good, he thought.
They locked eyes for a moment, and then she embraced him.
His heart started beating faster.
He welcomed her presence, her scent, her body, her warmth, everything….
And he held her in his arms for a long time.
All too soon she disentangled herself from him.
She looked into his eyes, "Thank you for the gift, Peter."
He took her hand in his, "You're welcome, Emma."
She smiled as he kissed her forehead tenderly.
A/N – 01/03/2014: First, I'm sorry that I took so long to get this drabble out. However, I worked for seven days straight without a day off this week (12/27/13 – 01/02/2014). My normal shift is from 2:30 – 10:30pm. But on New Year's Eve, I worked from 5pm – 1am! O_O So, I'm just really burned out! And today (Friday) is the only day I have off 'cause I have to go back to work tomorrow (Sat.). *sniffles* SMH
Second, yeah, I know that I laid out the fluff and romance quite thick. Nonetheless, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart and I needed to let this out. I have so many feels/feelings for Emma/Peter. If I don't let it out, I think I just might explode and die.
Plus, I think this is one of my best chapters (besides chapter nine) because Peter and Emma are finally interacting – romantically. With this being said, I hope you all loved this chapter as much as I did! :D Please let me know what you think! ;)
Third, I will write two more chapters in this Emma/Peter Christmas AU. From part thirteen and onward (or until specified), the drabbles will be set in present-day Neverland. It will head down a dark, emotional, and violent territory – within PG-13 guidelines. So, enjoy the fluff while it lasts. :)
And last, I hope you all had a wonderful New Year! Hope 2014 will be a good year for us all. (((Hugs))) And as always, I love your reviews and the feedback. I read and re-read and re-re-read all the reviews I have received. They truly make my day. And thank you so much for the favorites, follows, and alerts as well. Love you all. Until next time!
