True Love Will Prevail

Chapter Four: Hoping It'd Be You

'Goodnight Killian'

'Goodnight love'

And with that, they both put their phones down, neither of them being able to get the memories they had made today out of their minds.

Emma woke up the next morning and the first thing she did was look at her phone to see if there were any new messages from Killian. As she looked at her phone, with no new notifications from him, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Then she remembered today was the day. Her big was nervous to hear back from the director, especially since it now meant way more than just being in a movie. It meant she would be able to see Killian every day. She couldn't understand why yet, but being around him made her happy.

When she was auditioning with him yesterday, all her worries washed away and she was finally able to be herself once more. She felt like there was nothing she couldn't do. She knew she was supposed to hear back about the part sometime in the afternoon and she was really hoping she would get it.

After a few minutes of just laying in bed, with images of Killian running wild through her mind she decided to get up and get her day started. Following her morning routine, she took a shower and made herself some coffee.

Right as she was going to reach for a cup, she heard her phone ring. She rushed to the counter hoping it was him. When she unlocked her phone, she saw a message from Alex.

'Lunch today? Would love to talk about the audition. The director said he would let me know around then if you got the part so I figured we can wait for the answer together'

'Sounds good' she typed 'I have so much to tell you'

'Is that right?' Alex typed back 'Can't wait to hear, café in front of my office?'

'See you there' she answered.

Emma left her phone in the counter once more and continued on with her morning. She was excited to tell Alex what had happened the night before. She didn't have all that many friends and he was always there to listen to her.

She was mostly confused about all the new feelings that had rushed through her the night before. Although she had been trying to sort through her thoughts since she woke up, she still couldn't let go of her phone, hoping she would hear from Killian today.

Killian woke up the next morning, and just like Emma had done, he checked his phone. No new messages. He opened his conversation with her and typed up a new message.

'Good morning love... I hope you had sweet dreams. I know I did. I've never been so anxious to find out if I got a part or not, I'm really hoping we both do. You are really like no one I've ever met and I can't wait to get to know you. Anyways, have a great day Emma and don't get too excited when you realize we are going to be seeing each other every day xx K

His thumb hovered over the 'send' button for a few seconds before he decided to wait and deleted it.

He didn't want to scare Emma away by coming on too strong. Sure, they had their fun yesterday but they were just joking around. I wasn't until after their date, he knew there was a real connection between them. That scared him. The last time he had a connection like this with someone, it was with Milah. He had trusted her and it had left him heart-broken.

Now, after knowing Emma for just one day, that connection was already much stronger than it ever was with his ex. He was in awe of her personality and her strength. He was mesmerized by her beauty; her eyes and her smile had caught his attention the minute she turned around to face him in the studio. It had just been a few hours and he already missed her. He felt like a teenager all over again.

A few minutes later, he decided he had to go see Sean. He had to know if he had heard anything about the movie and he needed to tell him about his experience with Emma. He was going to go crazy if he didn't put everything he was feeling out there. Sean always gave him the best advice.

Kilian got up and made himself some coffee to help him wake up. He couldn't stop thinking about Emma; not that he wanted to stop anyways. He got dressed and texted Sean just as he left his house.

'On my way to your office'

Once he was there, he went straight up to his office, not even stopping to check his phone to see if he had texted him back. But knowing Sean as if they were brothers, Killian knew at this time of the day he would be in there working. He knocked on the door and let himself in once he heard Sean's 'ok'.

"Morning Killian" he said as he closed his laptop and looked at his friend who had now taken a seat in front of him. "You are up early for Monday morning"

Killian rolled his eyes. "Did you hear anything about the movie?"

"No, not yet, why?" Sean asked curiously, "I thought you were not interested in doing it"

"Things changed" he said as he remembered his audition with Emma. He hadn't realized he was lost in his thoughts until Sean spoke.

"What changed? Or if this helps, to what do we owe that dreamy smile?" Sean said smiling at his friend.

"What smile?" Killian said raising an eyebrow.

"You were smiling like an idiot just now, so tell me, what is it?" he asked.

"Emma" Kilian answered. "Emma Swan"

Sean frowned knowing that name sounded familiar. A few seconds later, it clicked.

"From the audition. She is the one they paired you with" he said as he came to the realization of who Emma Swan was. Killian nodded. "What happened?"

"She happened" Killian simply answered. "She is like no other woman I have ever met. Sean, it's bad. I can't stop thinking about her"

"Aw someone is falling for Emma" he said childishly teasing Killian.

"I'm serious, I don't know what to do" Killian answered, running a hand through his hair feeling frustrated.

"Well, you are Mr. Irresistible Kilian Jones, I am sure you can use your charms and woo her" he said as he shrugged.

"She is not like that. She is not someone you can just charm your way through. She is passionate, and strong, and let me tell you, not scared of a challenge" Kilian said. He hadn't realized he was smiling again. Quite a habit that had started ever since he met Emma, and now every time he thought about her, a smile would appear on his face. "It's also not that easy. I took her out yesterday after the audition, and it just happened that one of the girls I apparently met after everything happened with you know who showed up. It ruined the rest of the night; I could tell she was uncomfortable"

"Everyone has a past Killian, that doesn't define what kind of man you are. And I know you, I know what you went through and that doesn't change who you are. You are just as passionate and strong. You are honest, loyal and any girl you fall in love with is a lucky lass" Sean said honestly.

Killian froze a little when he heard the word 'love'. Was this what eventually would happen with Emma? he questioned. He didn't know but wouldn't be opposed to it. His mind wondered to what it would be like to be in a relationship with her. To take her out and cherish every moment they spent together. To see her smile and hear her laugh.

Yeah, he wouldn't be opposed to it at all.

"Well, give me some of your good advice then, what should I do?" Killian asked.

"Did you try to explain?" his friend replied.

"I did but she wasn't really in the mood. Then again, I had just met her so she probably felt like I didn't need to explain" Killian sighed, "But I wanted to. I don't want her to think of me like that"

"Then don't let her" Sean said.

"That easier said than done. I haven't heard anything from her today, and I was going to text her but I didn't want to overwhelm her" he answered shrugging.

"So, you have her number then?"

"No, but I tried" he said shrugging. "I added her on Facebook"

Just as Sean was about to say something his phone started ringing. It was the director from the movie. He showed Killian the screen so he knew what was going on and picked up. Killian didn't know what was going on until Sean gave him a thumbs up and smiled at him. He got the part.

Instantly, he thought about Emma. "Ask about Emma" he whispered. And so, Sean asked about her. He remained with a serious expression until he hung up the phone. He sat there for a few seconds looking at his friend, who was now on the edge of his seat. Killian raised an eyebrow, as if asking 'what are you waiting for?'

"She got the part. I don't know what you two did yesterday but they loved both of you" Sean said giving him a smile. He was proud of Killian. He was glad he was finally starting to slowly move on. "I guess there's my advice... 'You're the One', your next conversation topic with Ms. Swan, however you want to interpret that title" he smirked at Killian.

Killian rolled his eyes once more. "How long until filming starts?"

"You mean how long until you see Emma again?" he answered chuckling. "Starts two weeks from today"

Two weeks? That wasn't such a long time, right? Killian thought to himself.

"If that's too long for you, you can always ask her out" Sean suggested as if he was reading Killian's mind. Killian gave him a puzzled look.

"What? Are you a mind reader now too? Jeez" he answered "Like I said before, I don't want to scare her away. It'll be fine"

'It'll be fine' was what he said, but what he really meant was 'these are going to be the longest two weeks of my life and I know it'.

Emma was sitting in front of Alex just like they had been the day before. The waiter had just brought their food to the table. He was giving her an expecting look.

"What?" said Emma after she had taken the first bite of her food.

"Killian Jones?" he answered smirking at her. Emma was still thinking about him. She had been all morning.

"Oh yeah, that" she said as if she was trying to brush it off. "The audition was very fun. He was being a little flirty and of course, you know I can't say no to a challenge, so… I kind of flirted back?"

"You did what?!" Alex exclaimed. Emma just gave him an innocent smile.

"You should have been there Alex. It was amazing. The tension between us could've been cut with a knife. It was like… a teasing war" she said trying to describe what had happened between them. "And guess what?"

"Surprise me" he said as he leaning forward. He was officially intrigued.

"I won"

"How exactly do you win this war"

"Okay so get this" Emma starts enthusiastically. She had been wanting to tell him everything since she got home yesterday but she knew his expression would be too priceless to miss once she explained what happened. "We are in character; it was like the fifth scene they had asked us to read. He had his arms wrapped around my waist and we were staring into each other's eyes. We knew that the next thing in the script was for us to kis—"

"You kissed Killian Jones?!" he interrupted.

"We were about to, but then they called cut and quickly enough all the crew disappeared" Emma explained. "He was still holding me though, so I turned to face him again. I swear Alex he wanted to kiss me. So, I took advantage." She shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Emma! You DID kiss Killian Jones" he said again. Emma just shook her head.

"Wrong again. All I did was lean in, really close and then I whispered 'It's late, goodnight Killian' and then left" she said smirking remembering Killian's shocked expression. She knew he knew she had won.

Alex mouth fell open but no words were coming. He was in shock; really not expecting this when Emma said she had news. Emma giggled when she saw his expression. Totally worth the wait.

"I know" she said. Now that she replayed the scene in her head, she couldn't believe she had done that either. "He came after me"

"He did what?!" Alex asked even more shocked. The way he said it, so incredulously, took Emma aback. When he saw the slight hurt in her eyes, he instantly rectified his reaction. "I didn't mean it to come out like that, it's just… he is known to be quite a player"

"I don't think he is like that" Emma said defensively. "He actually asked me out and we went for dinner"

"How was it?" he asked softer this time, honestly interested. All he really wanted in the end was for her to be happy.

"It was good for the most part" she answered. He gave her a questioningly look, waiting for her to spill the details. "A girl showed up halfway through, I guess one of his conquests from a few months ago. It was bit uncomfortable after that"

He gave a concerned look. Emma knew what he was thinking; she knew he was probably judging him just like everyone else did. She didn't want to believe that Killian was really that kind of person, but then again, she really didn't know him. For a second, she was consumed with doubts.

"I just don't want you to get hurt" he said shortly explaining what he had ben thinking.

"I won't—" Emma started saying before she was interrupted by Alex's phone.

"It's from the movie crew" he said before he picked up. Emma looked at him impatiently as he nodded and mumbled a few 'yes' and 'for sure'. He looked at Emma, he was beaming with excitement and a smile was creeping onto his face. 'You got it' he mouthed, still on the call.

"What about Killian?" she whispered. And so, he asked about him. He thanked whoever was on the other side of the line and hung up.

"Unfortunately," he started out with a straight face. Emma expression completely changed in that second. No, she thought. "You will be filming with Killian Jones in exactly two weeks from now"

"Wait what?" she said confused. She let out the breath she was holding in and unknowingly the biggest smile crept onto her face. Her eyes were shinning. She leaned forward and slapped Alex on the side of his arm. "Don't do that to me!"

"I didn't know you cared about him so much" he said smirking at her. She rolled her eyes. "Emma"

"What now?" she asked, worry in her voice. She still expected him to be joking.

"You got the part" he said "Your big break is here"

Hearing it out loud made Emma realized how real this was. "I got the part" she said whispering to herself. She then got up and gave Alex a hug. "I got the part!" she said this time a little bit louder. He couldn't help the laugh that escaped him.

"I can see that you are happy" he said once she had sat down again "But please promise me you will be careful. I know you, and you tend to see the best in people. I don't want you to get hurt"

"I will be fine, dad" she said rolling her eyes.

Killian was back home. It was 10:00PM and he hadn't heard anything from Emma all day. He had wanted to talk to her ever since he got the news from Sean, but he didn't want to ruin the surprise for her.

Now, laying in bed, he typed up another message. This time, he intended to send it. He couldn't wait any longer to talk to Emma.

'Guess what? I got this part for a new movie called 'You're the One'. You want to know what the best part is? I have this beautiful co-star that I'm going to get to see every day x K'

He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves. Before he could change his mind, he sent the message. What if she never answered? He started questioning staring at his phone.

Much to his delight, she texted back a few seconds later.

'Do you now? x'

'I was hoping it'd be you x K'
