Chapter 5:

Killian woke up first in the morning. Audrey had shifted during the night and her body was mostly on his. He kissed her cheek and moved her onto the couch. He started breakfast but didn't know how to work most of these appliances. He was able to make scrambled eggs and woke Audrey up softly.

"Audrey, love?" whispered Killian. She moved slightly and groaned. "I made breakfast for us." She nodded with her eyes closed and sat up.

"Good morning," she whispered to him.

"Good morning." They walked into the kitchen and ate breakfast together.

"I'm sorry for falling asleep last night; I should've just gone home." Audrey tells him.

"You were tired and I didn't want you to walk home last night. Besides, it was nice waking up to a beautiful lady this morning." Audrey blushed. "So, what are your plans for today?"

"Well, the library opens on Monday, and today is Friday so I'm making sure everything is in order for the opening. What are your plans?"

"I have to be at the station today, but it has been pretty quiet lately, so it might be pretty slow." He answered.

"Did you want me to bring you lunch?" she asked sweetly.

"You don't have to do that Audrey." He didn't want her to think she was supposed to do everything for him.

"I want to. Besides, Mr. Gold might be there with Belle so it'd be nice to see someone who hasn't given me a reason to hurt him. Oh, that was rude, wasn't it? I need to work on that." She rambled on.

"Audrey, you have every right to be angry at him. And I would love it if you came to lunch with me today. I do have a question for you though, if you don't mind answering it." He hastily added on the end.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well, I know you and Belle are close friends. How can you stand it that she is married to the guy who ruined your life?"

She sighed, "I want her to be happy. She deserves happiness even though he doesn't. Sometimes you don't choose who you fall in love with. I just hope he realizes how lucky he is to have Belle in his life." She was frustrated with Belle, but it didn't matter. She married him, and there is nothing she can do to erase that.

"You are such a good friend Audrey. I could never be friends with someone who married a guy like that." She just nodded her head.

"I should go. I want to make sure everything is ready for opening day. I'll see you at lunch." She gets up from the table and he helps her put on her coat. She kisses his cheek. "I had a lovely time last night and this morning. Thank you for asking me on this date." They smile at each other.

"I'm hoping for many more, Miss Darling." (A/N: not related to Wendy Darling. I just thought it was a classy name to go with Audrey) She blushed and walked out the door.

At the police station Killian entered with cups of coffee for him and Emma.

"So, how was it last night?" was the first thing she asked.

"Really well, Swan. We fell asleep on the couch and she's coming here for lunch. And I do have to say I agree with you. She is nicer than Mary Margaret."

"Why? What happened?"

"Well, her best friend married Rumplestilskin and she says as long as Belle is happy. I mean, this woman is a saint."

"I'm glad you found her, Hook."

"I too; so how was your night with Neal?"(A/N: he's alive!) Hook asked her.

"Good, the three of us are happy." A while later David joined them and the three of them talked, nothing was happening in the town. Around noon Audrey came in.

"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting things." She looked around at everyone. Killian stood up and walked towards him.

"Not at all love. Hi, how was your morning?" She smiled at him.

"Good, everything is set up, now we got to wait until Monday. How was yours?"

"Good, very slow."

"I brought food for everyone in case you two wanted to join us." She looked at David and Emma.

"Oh, we don't want to interrupt-"

"Come on, join us." Hook cut them off. They agreed and Audrey pulled the items out of the bag. She made subs and brought fun sized bags of chips.

"We've never officially met. I'm David, Emma's father," David introduced.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Audrey, Killian's… well actually I don't know. Are we together? Oh, I didn't want to put you on the spot, Killian. Sorry, anyway I'm Audrey." She blushes and looks down at her food.

"I want to be your boyfriend if you want to be my girlfriend." Hook replied to her.

"Really?" she asked.

"Really, so am I your boyfriend?"

"Yes, as long as I'm your girlfriend?"

"Deal." She tensed as he said that. She hated that word. Because of that word her entire family fell apart. "Oh, Audrey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

"You forgot it's okay." She gave him a small smile.

"Well, I heard you are even nicer than my wife," joked David, trying to diffuse the heavy hearted conversation.

"Huh?" Audrey said, confused.

"My wife is Snow White. Emma told me you are even nicer than her."

"What? Oh no, I'm sure I'm not. I hope you're not mad," she said frantically.

"Love, he's joking."

"Oh. Now I'm embarrassed. I should go. I'm glad I got to meet you. I'll see you again." She left and the trio finished their lunch.

"Well, what do you think?" Killian asked Emma and David.

"She's perfect for you." They both replied.
