It had been a month since their kiss in Aarons office which ended with him driving her home. Which ended up with him walking up to her apartment which ended up with him waking up in her bed after a long night of catching up. They hadn't put a name to anything but they spent every night together eating dinner watching tv it clearly wasn't just about the sex. Emily was working in her office when she heard a knock on her door. "Hey Aaron, I'll be done in a minute," she said
"It's not Aaron." she heard a familiar voice say that caused her to jump out of her chair.
"Jared, what are you doing here?" Emily asked as she felt the color drain from her face.
"I could ask you the same thing beth or Emily apparently. Do you know it is like for you to come home and there be a note from your girlfriend saying hey I am Emily Rhodes the white house chief of staff yeah the one who died two years ago I'm going back to dc?" Jared said
"I know I'm sorry but you can't be here ok I have a boyfriend or something going on with a guy here and I really like him so please go." Emily said seriously
"We talked about marriage and it was all fake," Jared asked
"You talked about marriage with Beth. I am not beth. Me and this guy we had been a long time coming and we couldn't be in contact during those two years."Emily said
"It's the guy from the picture, isn't it. The one you said was a friend from back home," Jared asked
"Yeah it is his name is Aaron and he is a great guy," Emily said
"Well I'm happy for you but I'm not going home. I'm going to try and win you back," Jared said before walking out of Emily's office. She sank into her chair resting her head in her hands.
"You ok em." she heard Aaron ask from the door.
"Yeah yeah just tired," Emily said, picking up her head and smiling up at him.
"You are almost done here," Aaron asked, pushing himself off of the door frame.
"Yeah yeah one sec," Emily said, shoving her laptop into her bag along with some files. "Let's go," she said standing up and giving him a quick kiss before walking out towered his car.
"You sure you ok,'' Aaron asked as he climbed into her bed while she tied her hair up.
"Yeah," Emily said he voice squeaking slightly
"Em.." Aaron said raising his eyebrows at her
"You know the Montana boyfriend. He showed at my office today right before you came in.'' Emily said not looking at him while she climbed in bed.
"Seriously what was he doing here," Aaron asks sitting up
"Is." emily said
"What"
"He is in DC actually after telling him about you and he said n and that he was gonna get me back," Emily said squeezing her eyes shut
"Wow he seems confident"
"Yeah well when I was beth he talked about marriage even we were only together for like six months," Emily said while she felt Aaron stand up. "Where are you going," she asked as he slipped into his shoes
"I'm gonna go to my place for the night," he said tying his shoes
"Are you seriously mad right now?"
"I just didn't think that this Montana boyfriend was marriage level."
"He talked about it and I didn't say anything." emily said leaning toward him
"Yet know he is staying to try and win you back from me," Aaron said
"You know what go I did nothing wrong. I told him to go home because I was with you and I was happy with you and he stayed. Guess what if I wanted to be with him right now. I would not be here. I wouldn't be here because I would Montana it was my choice to come back after David went to jail. I didn't come back for the job or Seth and Kirkman. I came back for you Aaron.`` Emily said clearly getting mad "just go," she said lying down on her side.
"Emily.." Aaron said taking a breath
"Go Aaron that's clearly what you want," she said letting a tear fall from her eyes. After a second she felt her bed dip and Aaron wrapped his arm around her waist.
"That's not what won't," he whispered in her ear
She simply nodded before drifting asleep.
