When Emily wakes up next morning she felt someone holding her very tight, she smiled thinking how yesterday went. It started with her thinking Will was jealous and it ended with Micah. She turned around very softly, because she didn't want to wake him up. When she looked at him, she couldn't stopped smiling. He's so cute and adorable when he sleeps. Why didn't I notice him before? How did Tyra know he liked her? It wasn't that obvious, otherwise she had noticed it earlier, or was I so obsessed with Will? She couldn't resist Micah's adorable face, she had to kiss him. So she give him a soft kiss on his lips. At that he opened his eyes and gave her a sleepy smile. "Hi, I would like to wake up like that everyday" he said still a little sleepy. "How did you sleep Emily? Well your bed is very comfortable, so I slept very well, thank you. And that is the only reason why you slept so good?" Emily blushed at that question. "No, I also slept very well because it was you lying next to me, I felt really save and wanted in your arms." A big smile came on Micah's face. "It felt great to finally have you in my arms" he said while he starts kissing her shoulder. "I'm sorry that it took so long before I noticed it Micah" Emily said feeling her skin tingled where he kissed her. "Hm that's okay, you're worth waiting" he said and place a lingered kiss in her neck. I was worth waiting? Wow that's so romantic. How didn't I see it before? "Over thinking again dr. Owens? " she giggles at his question. "Just a little, I was thinking why I didn't noticed it before. Because I didn't let you know before, I wanted to know for sure that you where over Will and when you told me last night, I knew I had to tell you. I'm glad you told me" Emily said and pulled his head up by pulling softly on his hair. Micah really enjoyed the feeling her hands in his hair, he couldn't resist, he had to kiss her. The kiss started slowly but soon it became more passionately.
As they finally came out of the bed, it was already 10 o'clock. "hmm normally I don't like late shifts" Micah says "but when my day starts like this, I wouldn't mind to work late every day". Emily felt her cheeks become red. "So what do you want for breakfast Emily? Do you want to eat here or shall we go out and grab a breakfast somewhere else"? "I don't eat much in morning, but I love a cup of coffee and if you don't mind, I want to take a shower". "That's okay, I'll make coffee while you take a shower, I'll show you where the towels are". When Micah left the bathroom Emily looked at herself in the mirror, she just couldn't stop smiling. Wow, I didn't know that I could feel something like this for someone, it just feels so great, I'm really happy. With that thought she steps in the shower, totally relaxed. After 10 minutes Micah knocks on the door "coffee is ready". "Oh okay I'll be ready in a couple of minutes". She came out of the bathroom with her wet hair turned into a towel and wearing one of his his shirts. "Hmm you smell really nice" Micah said when he gives her a small kiss on her cheek. "Now I smell just like you, because I used your shower gel" Emily said giggling. "Hmm coffee smells good". "Well than follow me" Micah grabbed her hand and walked her to the kitchen. "I'll hope you like it, I've coffee, fresh orange juice, I've baked bread rolls, I've cereals and if you want I'll bake you some pancakes". Emily was speechless, never did a guy such a sweet thing like this for her. "Micah, that's so sweet, thank you. Anything to make you happy" he said. They talked al lot during their breakfast, about everything, their favorite books, which food they loved most, music, vacations and work. "What are we doing at work with this between us Micah"? Should we tell it, or should we keep it between us, what do you think? Do you want to keep it between us Emily? Well I don't know, maybe for now it's better to keep it professional, we'll see how it works out". "Yeah, Micah nodded, don't know how Gina reacts if she found out about us". "Okay, but I do want to tell my Mom, she asked often when I finally going to ask you out". "She did"? Emily asked him with a big smile. "You don't even know how often she asked it" Micah said smiling too. "So we keep it professional at work, but here…"and he pulls her up out of her chair, "here not". He gives her a big hug an she felt great in his arms. "Micah, I really like it here with you, but I have to go home, to get some clothes, I can't go to work in the dress I wore yesterday. You look very pretty in it, but I understand. Do you mind if I take a quick shower, then I'll drive you home". "That's okay" Emily said and give him a quick peek on his lips.
Back at home Tyra was waiting for her. "Tell me all the details please Emily, I saw you two leaving at the party and the kiss he gave you by his car, wasn't a kiss friends give each other". "How do you know he kissed me by his car, where you spying on me Tyra"? "Haha no, I was in the car with HOT Molly, we were just leaving as I saw you two come out. So how was it"? "Oh Tyra, I was thinking what you told me and then he asked me for a dance, it felt so great in his arms, he was holding me really tight, than he whispers in my ear that he has feelings for me and I was shocked. When I could speak again I told him that I liked him a lot, but that I'm afraid, because he's my boss. He reassured me that he can keep things professional, so I said yes when he invited me over to his place". "He wanted to cook for me, but we never made it to dinner, we just went for the desert" Emily giggled. "Wow Emily I'm impressed. How was it? It felt great Tyra, no crazy feelings, no doubts, just him and me". "Are you going to tell Will"? "No, we want to keep it professional at work, so please don't tell anyone, promise me Tyra". "Okay, I won't tell anyone, but I think people can see it by their self, the way you to look at each other is so intense, and you have to stop smiling like you doing right now, it drives me crazy". "So how was your evening with HOT Molly"? "It wasn't bad either, we had a great evening and I think there will be more of that, so maybe we're the lucky ones now Emily". Yeah maybe, we are" Emily said with a big smile.
At work they walked in to in the locker rooms, Will was there with Cassandra, but both of them didn't look very happy and they took off without saying a word. "What's with them"? Tyra asked Emily."I don't know it either, but I don't care anymore, he wants here than he can also have her mood swings" Emily said as they were walking to the nurses post. They were just in time when Dr. Bandari and Micah came to the group. "Today we've got a difficult heart surgery" Dr. Bandari said. "I want to do it in two groups, Dr. Owens and Dr. Kopelson, you will be assisting me in the first group, Dr. Collins and Dr. Barnes you're in the second group. The rest of you will be helping out in the ER today". "She couldn't make 'better' pairs than this" Emily complained by Tyra. "At least she chose you, I can help in the ER" Tyra was grumping. "Maybe Cassandra will tell you what is going on with her and Will". "I don't want to know Tyra, I don't care anymore". With that Emily took off to prepare herself for surgery. While she was scrubbing Cassandra came in and started to do the same. "Hi Cassandra" Emily said, but all Cassandra said to her was "now you're nice to me since Will and I broke up, don't be Emily". "Huh, how do you mean, you broke up with Will"? "Oh come on, if you don't know it already"? "No I don't know Cassandra". "Strange, because we've had a fight after you have been picked as Bandari's research assistant, he kept telling me how good you are for that position blah blah. I was so done with that competition between you and me so I told him to choose and you know what, he couldn't choose me. He told me yesterday that he had feelings for you and that he didn't wanted to hurt me, so you can be happy, he is all yours now!" she shouted at Emily and with that she left to prep the patient. Will has feelings for me, that took him a while to figure that out. What should I do?
In the mean time, Micah was doing rounds with Will. The last one was in a very bad mood. Micah had enough of it and told Will "I don't know what is going on with you, but you being like this, isn't good for the patients. Is there something bothering you?" he asked Will on their way to surgery. "Cassandra and I broke up yesterday, she told me to choose between her and Emily, and I couldn't choose, so she assumed that I've feelings for Emily and I think she's right about it, I've feelings for Emily. I'm going to tell her that today, why wait any longer. What do you think I should?" he asked Micah. Will didn't see that the color was gone in Micah's face. "I don't know what you should do, but I do know that now we should scrub for surgery". Micah felt terrible, just now he and Emily got together. What if Emily changes her mind, he felt nauseous when he starts scrubbing standing next to Will who looked with a longing gaze at Emily. "Yeah I think I'm gone make a move on Emily after work", Will said full of confident. Micah felt paralyzed. When they changed position during the operation Emily looked confused at Will and when she saw Micah's sad eyes she knew she had to tell Will about her and Micah. She knew she made the right decision and gave Micah a reassuring look. That was just enough for Micah to relax a little.
After she finished cleaning up after surgery, Emily went to Micah's mom, she really needed to talk somebody about it. She hesitated at the door of her room, but Joyce had already seen her. "Come in honey, it's nice to see you". "How are you Joyce? You frightened us, I'm glad to see you awake" Emily said while she take a seat on the bed."I'm alright now, still al little weak, but I will be okay" Joyce said taking Emily's hand. "What is bothering you Emily"? "I'll have to talk to you Joyce. It's about Micah". "That doesn't sound very good for my boy". "No it is, I mean-" Emily searched for words. "I think I love Micah, but I'm confused. Just now Micah and I are starting something, Will founds out that he has feelings for me, I'm so confused Joyce, she looked at Joyce with tears in her eyes. "Oh come here honey" Joyce was holding her arms open for Emily. Emily hugged Joyce and let her tears out. Joyce hugged her until she was finished crying. Then she took Emily's hands in hers, "Emily, the only one who can gives an answer to this is you, you have solve this. Of course I'll hope you pick Micah, because my boy is so happy when he just talks about you, he really loves you. But what do you feel"? "Well I just found out that I've feelings for Micah and for Will…. I've loved him for four years and right now I don't know what I feel. I still have feelings for him, but just as friends". "Well maybe you should tell him that Emily, before he thinks you still love him". "You're right Joyce, thank you for listening to me". Any time sweetie". "Let me know how it goes".
Emily was done with her shift and was changing in the locker room. At that moment Will and Micah came in. "Hey you two" Emily said blushing. "Micah looked worried at her, but Emily just gave him al little nod. He felt terrible. "Uhm Emily can we talk" Will asked nervously. "Sure Will, in 5 minutes on the roof?" Okay, I'll see you there" Emily said on her way out. Micah ran after her. "Emily" his voice was full of tears. She stopped and turned around "Micah, I've to talk to Will, but will you wait for me? I'll send you a message when I'm finished talking". "But Emily I-" Micah was cut off when Emily puts a finger on his lips. "Micah, I just want to finish stuff with Will, please trust me". Micah nodded okay, "but when I don't hear from you in 15 minutes I'll come to see you" he said when Emily walked into the elevator.
On her way up her mind was spinning around. Was it the right decision? Will was already waiting for her. "Hey Em, thank you for coming. How did the surgery went, did the patient survived Will? Yes, the patient is fine, Dr. Bandari did a great job. She is a great surgeon, but as a chief? Tell me about it, I have that feeling that she always picks me to criticize me. I don't know why" Emily was rambling. She just keeps talking because she felt a little awkward, being alone with Will after Cassandra's confession. Will took Emily's hand.
Uhm I think you've heard that Cassandra and I broke up. Yeah, she told me, she was really sad when she told me" Emily said staring at her shoes. "I broke up with her, because I realized I've feeling for you Emily, I think I've always had feelings for you, but I didn't wanted to jeopardize our friendship". He places a hand on her cheek and starts kissing her, but Emily stepped back. "I'm sorry Will, but I don't feel the same anymore. I still love you but just as friends". "But why Emily, I thought you would be very happy to hear that I finally choose you"? He was running a hand trough his hair. "Emily, do you hear me, I tell you that I love you". Emily didn't know what to say and Will took that as a yes from her side so he steps closer and puts his hands around her. He starts kissing her again, Emily wants to say no, but she lost her voice. This kiss felt so wrong, she wants to get away, but he's holding her very tight. She wrestles to get out of his embraces and at that moment Micah opens the door. "Let her go Will" he shouts. Will was surprised and let Emily go and then Emily surprised both man when she hits Will on his face. "No Will, I'm not happy to hear you saying that you love me, I don't want to be someone second choice, I'm over you Will Collins" Emily shouted. "You've had your chance, but you blew me of and decided to go out with my nemesis, that hurts Will and I'm done waiting, I want to be someone first choice". "I'm really sorry that I hit you and I hope that one day you can forgive me and we can be friends again, but right now I want you to leave". Without a word Will left the roof, he knew when he lost, but it hurts, even more than he thought.
Micah was still standing still and just watched Emily who walked to side of the roof and looked down at the parking. She let out a few deep sighs before tears starts running down her face. She turns around and looked helpless at Micah, who walked over and took her in his arms and let her cry. He stroke her hair softly and soothed her. "It's going to be okay Emily, it will take some time, but he will forgive you". She looked up at him with tearful eyes "I know but it hurts, losing my friend like that, but I know I made the right decision". "Why did you came up? I didn't call you". "No, but when you left me to see Will I felt lost, I didn't know what to do, I was so scared that you would chose him over me, so I went to my mom and she told me that you came by her for advice this afternoon. And I couldn't wait anymore, I had to see you, even if it meant that there was a risk that I got hurt by what I saw". "Hey you just came on time Micah, I'm glad you came, I don't know what had happened if you didn't and I don't chose him over you, because I realized that I love you Micah and I want to be with you, I want to wake up with you every day, just like this morning" she said smiling at him. Micah just stayed still there before he could speak again. His brain was spinning around Emily chose me, she loves me? When he snapped back to reality, he took her hands and looked her in her beautiful blue eyes and said "I love you to Emily and I want you next to me every time when I wake up". He give her a big smile and starts kissing her. First softly but than he deepens the kiss and Emily moanded when his tong founds hers. Kissing Micah feels so good, I've made the right decision. They stayed there together for an hour, talking, laughing and kissing, when Micah said "maybe this is the right time to go home, but first I want to go my mom and tell her that we're together, I'll think she is very happy to hear that". "Sounds good dr. Barnes" Emily said while they walk to the door "but first I want another kiss, because I can't stop kissing you". "the same for me Emily, the same for me" Micah said before he kissed her again.
