Chapter Six
"That she would never let herself forget"
If Killian thought he wouldn't be able to get his mind off her before... He had never seen anything as hot as the blonde of his dreams telling off a guy before slamming his head against a steering wheel. A bail bondsperson... Of course she was a bloody badass.
He didn't go far before pulling out his phone to call Robin.
"Where are you?" the other man asked without even saying hello.
"Something came up, mate," Killian explained. "I can't make it."
"You found her, didn't you?" Of course Robin would bloody figure that out.
"Sort of."
Robin's silence on the other end told Killian he wanted him to explain more. "I don't know much other than her name is Emma and she's a bail bondsperson."
"No last name?"
"Not that she'd tell me. I was on my way to meet you when I saw her take down a guy. All she said was her name is Emma."
"You'll find her, Killian."
Killian sighed. He hoped Robin was right but he wasn't so sure. "Will I?"
"I have faith. Go get her, Killian," Robin encouraged.
"Thanks, mate." Killian hung up the phone and looked back over to where Emma was getting into her car. He tried to tell himself that what he was doing wasn't creepy. He'd already followed her yellow bug to the police station, what was the harm to follow her home? Way to sound like a stalker, mate, he told himself.
He tried to keep an acceptable distance as he followed the Bug. He waited in his car until he was sure it wouldn't look like he followed her.
He was so nervous as he walked up to her door. He was just lucky it wasn't the type of building that needed him to buzz in. He hadn't been in an apartment building this crappy since his college days.
His next problem came when he realized he didn't know what apartment she lived in. Bloody hell.
"Uh, can I help you?" a teenage boy asked, clearly seeing the confused look on Killian's face.
"I'm meeting Emma but I can't seem to find her apartment," he lied smoothly.
The boy looked at Killian like he was an idiot and pointed to an apartment. Wow, there really was no security in this building.
He smiled appreciation and headed towards her door.
He knocked tentatively, nervous about both her reaction and her possible rejection.
She looked stunned when she opened the door and saw him standing there.
"What the..." she started.
He wasn't sure if she was mad or just shocked. He jumped in before she could say anything else. "I know it's a bit forward of me to just show up here but I didn't want to take the risk that I wouldn't see you again."
"A bit forward?" she asked wryly, "Don't you mean a bit creepy? How the hell did you find me?"
He got a bit embarrassed. Following her probably wasn't a good idea. "Uh..." He was sure he must be bright red by now. " I followed you."
"You know I could have you arrested for stalking," she told him.
"I know," he admitted. He wouldn't blame her if that's what she decided to do, but he really hoped it wouldn't come down to that.
They were at a standstill as they spent a moment just staring at each other.
Killian sighed and looked down. He couldn't look into her green eyes anymore. Not without doing something he'd regret, like kiss her. "I'll just go," he said sadly."
He turned and started walking away when he heard it.
"Killian, wait."
