"Killian! Hi, how are you?"- Henry said excited after he saw the young Prince coming his way.
"Oh Henry, Im very good, Thank you. You?"
"Im okay, waiting for Roland for show up. He is always late"- he groaned and Killian just laughed
"So, is Emma around"
"Hmm, you are dying to see her"- the kid teased –"She is not around, I guess she is in her favorite place , ove"
"Yeah, I know"- Killian stopped him from point the direction the place of when she went to think. –"I will go to her, then. "- he smiled "There he is"- he pointed at Roland –"Okay, kids have fun, I will see you later"
-...-...-...-
"Penny for your thoughts"- he surprised her, while she was sitting on the bench and she turned around.
"Killian"- she said, breathless, not sure if it was because he scared the hell out of her or because he always took her breath away. Probably both.
"You okay?"- he asked, walking around to sit beside her, he could sense something was off and it was comfirmed when she moved away,making space between them.
"Yes"- she said with a soft tone of voice, looking away from him.
"Emma"- he touched her arm, trying to get her gaze –"What is it? You said you felt comfortable, open and. .. safe with me. What has changed?"- he was hurt and confussed at the abrupt change
"I do... Its nothing, really"- she looked away again, trying to hid the sadness of her eyes or the tears that started to form
"Dont lie or hide from me, love"- he took her hand –"Did you change your mind... about us"
"Killian, I"
"Tell me. I need to know, please"- his voice was soft, and weak and she knew he was hurting and it pained her to do that to him. He only made her smile and feel good, she wanted to be that for him too.
"We just met, I"
"You dont know what you feel... if you feel"- he asked, his heart beating fast and fear staring to seize him
"No! I do. I feel for you, Killian"- she esqueezed his hand –" I just ... Im scared"
"Why? Of what, me?"
"No, of course not. I told you, you make me feel safe. Ive never felt this way before, about anyone. I dont know how to handle it. What if you leave, what if you dont feel as much as do and leave me"- she looked down at their joined hands but his free hand made her look back up.
"I feel deeply for you, Emma. And I know we just met but I can not explain it. Can you feel it too?"
"I do and its so big and deep... It scares me, Killian"
"Dont. Dont be scared, I will never hurt you and just the thought of leaving your side is almost impossible for me to tolerate, love"- he said, looking at her eyes, earning a little smile , which he returned to later pressed his lips softly on her hand. –"Can you trust me?"
"I strangely do, I trust you"- she smiled and used her free hand to slightly touch his cheek –"Im just not use to feel this way and you...you are too good to be real"- she said with tears falling down –"You, you might be the one and if you leave or it doesnt work, I dont know what Im going to do"
"Dont cry, please"- he wipped her tears away –"I want to be the reason why you smile. I wanna make you happy. I want to show how beautiful life can be, I wanna make feel loved, Emma. Let me please"- She held her breathe ... loved? He wanted to make her feel loved and happy, she never had that in her life... She didnt matter that much to anyone, or she never felt it. The strange thing was that no only she wanted deeply for him to do that but she felt the need to be and do that for him as well. She wanted to make him happy, and even feel loved.
"I want nothing more in this life and I want to do that for you too"- she said, feeling much better. She wasnt open or trusty but with him...everything was so different, it was like a side of her that she didnt even know it existed came to life... It was like discovering a new world and all because of one person, but he was that special to her.
He was her person.
"Good, we both want the same thing. Better now?"- he said, stroking her face and leaning over to press his lips to hers, wanting to kiss her but she still didnt respond.- "Love"
"Its not just that"- she looked down agaim
"What, tell me everything"- he cupped her face, making her look at him again.
"My sister"- she said with pain-
"What about her, she is not here"- he caressed her arm, his hand joining her once more.
"She will come back...soon"
"And"
"She will do it again, she will take you from me and I just cant"- She almost broke down, tearing falling and falling and sobs threatening to come out. She believed he feel as he said, as she did and trust him but she did not trust her luck or her sister reaction to it. She knew Eva would try to do something and she would probably get what she wanted, she did it everytime. She grew used to it but she couldnt handle the thought of that happening with Killian, not him. She felt for him too deeply, she couldnt lose him.
"Oh, Emma"- he hugged her, tight. It was their first hug. She wondered what it would feel like to be in his arms, and then and there she found out. It felt... safe, home.
She wanted to ever leave his embrance again. She wanted to stay there, to live there ... in the warmth of his arms around her. "She wont take me from you. I promise"
"How can you know?"-
"I just do. I feel it. Theres nothing or nobody that could take you from my mind and heart, Emma. Please, believe me"
"Its not you that I doubt or us"- she said, against his shoulder, wanting to look at his eyes but staying in his arms felt too amazing. He kept silence for a moment, took a deep breath, she could feel his heart beating fast again.
"Marry me. Marry me, Emma"
-...-...-...-...
"What"- she pulled away to look at him in total shock
"Yes, marry me so you dont have to fear anymore. Your sister or anyone will be able to get between us"
"You are sweet but we might not get there if she wants to stop us"
"Lets do it now"
" Now? Are you serious"
"Yes, of course! Lets elope and marry, just the two of us"- he kissed her hand –"just us, forever"
"We cant"- she said, and walked away
"I feel for you, deeply. You do too, why not?"- he stood up and followed her
"My parents will hate me. Your family. We would get in big troubles"-
"Look at me, Love. They dont have to know if you dont want to. We can keep it a secret and use it, only if we dont have a choice, so they cant break us apart"
"Killian"- she whispered, and looked at his eyes.
"Please, let me make you mine"- he kissed her softly and she melt inside –"Think about it, okay"
"Okay, I will"- she said, even though the idea sounded too crazy and she wasnt sure about it, she felt much better. He made her feel that way. He actually wanted to marry her, like that...No party, ball or big wedding, Just them... joined together for the rest of their life. A part of her, relaxed because They felt something so deep, She started to believe that maybe there were a chance of anyone, and not even her sister being able get between that, between them.- "You are too charming, did you know that"- she said, with a little grin, stepping closer to him and she kissed him softly but he didnt let go and the kiss grew passionated, hungry and needy. His hand on her soft long hair and the other one on her back, pressing her chest against his. She could feel his fast heart beats, sounding in a perfect rhymth with hers- her arms around his neck, one hand playing with his dark locks. They couldnt get enough, they seemed to want, to need, more and more. Wide open mouths, tongues playing with each other, exploring every single inch of their insides. Heat and lust all over their body. Being in each other arms, feeling each other so closely, in each other, it was like reaching for the sky and playing with the beautiful soft white clouds back and again.
She was never kissed like that. Well she was never kissed before him but she never imaginated she could ever be kissed like that, and not ,for sure, that she would want to be kissed that way, it was perfect, too much but the more it grew , the little it seemed, because she, her whole body was craving for more. She never thought she could feel that way, but it made sense, it was all because of him, because of her Killian.
They stayed there for hours, kissing, talking, kissing, smiling, looking at the water, kissing, joking, holding hands, kissing and again. It was the most amazing day of her life, and the look in his face said that it was his too.
"I would love to stay here with you but I need to check on Henry. We should go back but I dont want you to leave"- she smiled.
"I dont wanna leave either, so what do you suggest?"
"Stay for the rest of day, have lunch with us"
"Sounds amazing"- he kissed her once, not twice, well... some more , alot more, times again before they finally walked together.
-...-...-...-...-
"Emma!"- she exclaimed, happy.
"Ruby, what are you doing here!"
"Happy to see you too...Oh who is this very handsome gentleman"- she eyed him, up and down.
"He is my friend, Prince Killian"- she said, stepping closer to his side. She knew Ruby too well, and she was just being Ruby but Emma couldnt help the hint of jealousy running through her. Yes, He was handsome, more than just handsome but there was not need to look at him like that! Ruby seemed to notice and stopped it.
"Nice to meet you, Prince. I am Lady Ruby"- She couldnt help the little blushing after Killian kissed her hand... Sorry, Emma but he is so hot- she thought and Emma just smiled, he was beautiful, and sweet and nice and for some reason he wanted to be hers, he was hers. –"I´ve got a surprise for you, Emma"
"What" she asked, excited
"Here"
"August! OMG. Its you!"- Emma said way too excited and hugged her dear friend.
"August"- Killian repeated quietly... He couldnt help it.
"Are you okay? What are you doing here, I thought I wouldnt see you in a long time"
"Im fine, Emma. Ruby told me your parents... and sister, were gone so I sneaked out and came to see you"
"Im sorry, August. Where they sent you? Is it okay?"- she asked and August looked at Killian, wary and Emma realized that he was standing there the whole time. She stepped back.
"Its okay, you can talk. He is Prince Killian. He is my friend"- she blushed and looked down shyly .
"Nice to meet you, Ive heard of you"- Killian said with a smile, despite his jealousy. August responded the courtesy and smiled back.
"So" - Emma said next
"Its a secret but I got into the navy of this kingdom , Emma. Your parents made it possible"
"What! Are you serious!"- she said, happily. Deeply happy for her friend, he always wanted that and she was also happy that her parents didnt just send him away but actually help him. They hugged tight and Killians jealousy kept growing, despite his understandment. He looked away and rasped his throat and Emma stepped back, standing by his side. –"Im so happy for you, August. Killian is a navy too, well from his kingdom". She smiled, the fingertips of her hand brushing his, reassuring him and they both shared a secret smile.
"Congratulations, August"- he said and shook his hand.
"Princess Emma"
"Yes, Marian"
"You´ve got some visit"
"Visit, who?"- she said, worried.
"Princess Zelena, Lazy and Tink and Prince Jefferson"
"Agh"- Emma rolled her eyes –"I will be there"- what do they want?
"We better leave then"- August said and Ruby nodded
"No, stay. Wait for me, it wont be long"- she looked at Killian –"Wanna come?"
"Can I?"
"Of course... You have to"- they smiled sweetly at each other, not even noticing the wide grin on her friends faces.
"Lead the way"
