An Open Book - Chapter 3: Not Over
Just a continuation of Emma and Hook's kiss in 4x01 (A Tale Of Two Sisters)
Emma felt like this whole Storybrooke and cursed ordeal would never end. But as much as it's a pain, she never felt so much at home. She claimed that she did miss her family, but she doesn't know how to feel about giant snow monsters. She knew in her heart, that Regina did not make that monster, considering she doesn't even have ice powers. And she did save Marian. Hopefully this was a sign that she wasn't going to go back to her old ways. This whole snow monster was probably her fault, or she thought. Emma felt responsible of this monster, and Regina distancing herself. But like she told Regina, she couldn't let an innocent woman die.
But, Emma was mad at herself that she couldn't defeat "Frosty". Why aren't her powers as powerful as Regina's? She felt a strong spark in herself when she heard Hook give her a vote of confidence. "You can do it, Swan!" echoed in her head. She was glad she had him by her side, she didn't think she could do it, by do it, make her magic work once more. Considering that fact, after she "kissed" Hook, ever since she used her magic, Hook was always by her side. This confirmed what she was terrified of...Maybe Hook was her true love.
After Regina saved the day, everyone else returned to Storybrooke, as she stayed back, contemplating on what just happened. She knew that she wouldn't be alone in the forest, and she heard Hook's footsteps behind her. Frustrated with herself, she picked up the snow the monster left, and chucked it.
"So, crisis averted" Emma turned around and saw Hook smiling at her.
Emma couldn't help but smile back at him. She did have strong feelings towards Killian, and she didn't know why but she asked, "You want to go home and see what's on Netflix?"
He just simply said, "I don't know what that is but sure" and once again he gave her that adorable smile, that makes her feel so special. Then it occurred to her, that if Killian didn't know what Netflix was, he really doesn't care what they do together, but it's just the fact that they're together.
"Killian" she hadn't said his name in awhile, but she means to be serious when she says his actual name. "Someone created that snow man. This isn't over" she put it in a sad tone. She really wants to have a normal life, but how can that be possible when living in Storybrooke. But as much as she wants that, she can't leave her parents...or Hook.
But what Hook said made her accept that that's just the way things have to be in a place like this. "It never is..." But then he went on again, "All the more reason to enjoy the quiet moments." his smile appeared on his face as he stepped closer to Emma. "And right now, we have a quiet moment."
Emma couldn't help but love the fact that she and Killian had a quiet 'romantic' kind of moment.
"I know" Emma said. "And I'm sorry that I was avoiding you. You were right...again" she muttered 'again' under her breath.
Hook closed the space between them even more. "You want to tell me, why you are?"
"I'm scared! I haven't been in a relationship with anyone since Neal. My walls are up. It's hard for me to love again..." she hung her head down, not bearing to meet his eyes.
She saw that he was patiently waiting for her, not wanting to push her. Appreciative of that, she smiled and leaned in towards him, and gently pressed her lips against his. Heaven. She felt him press more harder against her lips and couldn't help but love how soft they were. The thing that was different about this kiss, was that Killian didn't put his hands in her hair like he normally does. The fact that he respected her, sent a tingling sensation up and down her spine. Wanting to take the kiss further she wrapped her hands around his back bringing him closer to her body. Killian then cupped her head, and toyed with her hair as his tongue gently slipped into her own. She once again felt that spark in her, the same way magic did.
She opened her mouth to accommodate his tongue as she slid her own against his. As their tongues danced, Emma didn't realize that her back was now up against a nearby tree. Getting more into the kiss, she wrapped her hands around his neck, gently stroking his smooth hair. Hook then broke away, getting some air into both their lungs, only to kiss her down her neck. No one has ever done this to Emma, so the experience for her was amazing. She produced a quiet moan, as he took a hold of her ear and sucked lightly on it. Wanting to make him feel the same, she started kissing down his neck but took it further, and kissed to where his chest was exposed. She wanted more of him, and it scared her, and Hook could feel that she stiffened a little bit after what she did. She stopped her ministrations and looked into his eyes once more.
"I'm sorry, if that caught you off guard" she smiled sheepishly.
"On the contrary love. I enjoyed it very much" he said with much enthusiasm.
"I want this to work, Killian. Just...be patient" She then gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Now, I have to talk to Regina" She left, walking towards the town.
I've got all the time in the world. Especially for you...
