"Lead the way"- he said and they walked side by side to meet her visit. –"Were you expecting them, love?"
"No. Actually I wonder what they are doing here..."
"So, they are not your friends"- he didnt need to ask, he could read her too well already.
"No, they are actually my sister´s. Wait, maybe they are here to check on what Im doing, if they see you... they will tell her, you better dont come with me"- she said, fear coming to her body.
"Your sister is not here, and she cant do a thing. Besides I already told you what we can do, all you have to say is yes"- he smirked, making her smile
"Not, now!"- She blushed, happy.–"But you are right, my parents are moving around so they wont be able to let her know about you until they come back"
"Good, because I dont like hiding. I want you to be mine and the world to know it"- he grinned – "Dont you want the same?"
"Not, now, I already told you"- she said with a smile on her face, she just couldnt help it. Jeez, she needed to think and he smiling at her like that didnt help, she wanted to jump into his arm, kiss him and say yes. But she couldnt marry him like that, could she?
"So, what should we say or what should I expect from them?"
"Just they are visiting and Zelena and Lazy are not so nice, you better stay away from them, Jefferson...well he can be nice when he wants to and Tink is okay, she is the one I like"
"Okay, noted."- he finished-.
-...-...-
"Emma, dear. How are you doing?"- Zelena said, fake smiling. She didnt even like Emma.
" Zelena, Im doing well. Lazy, Jeff, Tink... What do I own the pleasure?"- Emma smile back
"We just want to see you, knowing that you are alone with your sick brother"- Tink said, maybe she was being genuine but they other people sure wouldnt worry about her at all.
"You shouldnt, I am"- she was cut when she realized that Killian was standing behind her, close to the entrance. Zelena and Lazy eyeing at him, really hard.
"Who is this?"- Lazy asked, fixing her dress and hair. Flirty mode ON.
"Ladies, man"- he greeted them. And Zelena nor Lazy took more than one second to offer him their hand for him to kiss them and he obliged.
"This is Prince Killian. He is doing polite visit to this kingdom but will stay until my parents are back"- she explained, not being able to stop the hint of jealousy at the way the princesses were looking at him. Did that would happen everything a woman meet them? He was handsome and charming, yes but was that neccesary?
"Oh, so you already have company"- Jefferson said, suspicious.
"He is not staying here but at the town"- She explained, just in case they would think that they were alone in the castle, which wouldnt be such bad idea for her...well with Henry too, of course.
Maiden Marian brought them some tea and cookies so they would share, Emma was talking with Jefferson, whom decided to be nice that afternoon , probably because her sister wasnt around. Killian was chatting with the girls, Zelena and Lazy still trying to get his attention and impress him but He seemed to notice and remembered what she told him earlier so instead he got closer to Tink and focussed on her. Tink was nice, even though, she was Eva´s friend too but never said or did anything mean to Emma. Still, since nobody knew that Emma and Killian were more than just two people who met days ago, Tink seemed to be under his spell as well. Argh, no woman in the planet was inmune to his charms?- She couldnt blame them, she felt for him as soon as they met but still, it wasnt nice to seeing everyone flirt with him or blush when he smiled at them. Emma kept talking with Jefferson but kept an eye on him and Tink, she was being overfriendly. It made Emma feel really jealous, yes she told him that Tink was safe but were all those smiles and laughs neccesary?- Especially when they were still just a fresh secret, she felt unsure and scared. What if he likes Tink better? What if he actually likes Zelena or Lazy! Just the thought was heartbreaking. She didnt want to lose him before he was 100 porcent hers.
Some time later, the unexpected visit left, it took forever. She sighed in relief when they were gone and Killian stayed.
"That wasnt so bad, was it?- he asked, sitting on the couch
"You seemed to have a really nice time"- she said, with a little harsh tone.
"I can tell the same"- he used a hard tone too. Surely he didnt like Jefferson smiling at her with puppy eyes and he had to tolerate August before too.
"What? I didnt want them here, I was counting the minutes for them to leave"
"If you say so"- he said, looking away- "I should go"
"What, You changed your mind. Do you like her?"- she asked and he looked at her, shocked and confussed.
"What, what are you talking about"
"Nothing"- she said, trying not to sound hurt.
"Her, you mean one of the princesses? Changed my mind about... us?"- he asked, walking toward her, standing close, really close but she just looked down, didnt say a word –"Are you really jealous?"- he grinned
"They liked you, even Ruby did"- she groaned.
"But I dont like them, I do like you"- he flirted and she felt a huge relief seaizing her body. She blushed and smiled, feeling a bit silly.
"You really do?"
"I already told you how we can make sure that nobody can bring us apart... You just"
"Yes!"- she cut him.
"What?"- he asked, not understanding.
"Yes! I´ll marry you"- she smiled at the shock in his face –"I accept . Lets elope and get marry, Killian"
"Are you sure?"- he asked
"What you dont want now?"- she felt hurt suddenly... He didnt mean it.
"Of course I do!"
"Yes, I do too!"- Relieved, she smiled wide and threw herself into his arms, and he held her tight and kissed her hair.
She knew it was too soon but seeing him with those woman, being there with Jefferson. She had not doubt that her feelings were deeply strong and they would only grew with time and she didnt want to think of any chance of someone or something getting between them. Deep inside of her heart, she knew he felt the same way, she could feel it. It was strange, she never thought she could feel that way, that someone would make her feel that but even in those few days, something inside of her heart told her that she found the one... The one she could love and enjoy the rest of her life with.
"You just made me the happiest man on the planet, Emma"- he grinned and kissed her softly, she melt into the kiss but walked away as soon as she realized that someone could come and see them.
"Im very happy too. I want you to be mine, and mine only"- she said, still holding his hand. If some days back, someone would dare to tell her that she would even think on doing such a crazy thing, like marrying a prince she just met, she would have laughed really hard. But with him, she wasnt herself...well her old self, it was the part of her that was deep hidden inside, shyly occult in the darkness but with him, it was so easy to see the light, and she liked the light, so very much.
"I am already, love .Okay, I will make sure to find someone who can marry us"
"You think you can?"- she asked him, she had no idea how they would make it happen.
"Of course. You want to tell someone? Henry, Ruby, August?"
"Yeah, I would like them to come. Is that okay?"
"Sure! Its your wedding, you can invite whoever you want to, future wife"- he smiled. Oh he had such a beautiful smile. Wife... she would be a wife, she would be his wife...Oh that sounded so good, she knew she could be tremendously happy with him, like since the moment they started talking, like she never was before he came into her life. She just knew... Could she love him that fast? Was it love what she felt? Could he love her back? ... Those were hard to answer, but she would follow her heart, something about him, his presence, his voice, the way he looked at her, his smile, his touch made it easy, she didnt need think about it, she would take the leap of faith and fight for her happiness, for the first time in her life.
"I like that"- she grinned –"Thank you, you are too good to me"
"I will try my best to always be good to you, my love. I promise you"- he said and gave a chase kiss again. –" Tomorrow is okay?"
"Tomorrow?"- she asked, surprised. Wow, that was soon –" yes, tomorrow seems so far away"- she smirked.
"Tomorrow we will get marry then"
