Don`t stand too close to me
Chapter six: Looking for a good time
(Emma sighed as she glanced around her living area looking up slightly from her laptop as she was finishing off the final touches to Will`s assignment. Tomorrow she would be returning to the university but due to her mother wanting to visit family members Emma didn't have time to finish the assignment. She typed the final two words and sat back satisfied with her work)
"Finished sweetie" Eva smiled gently at her daughter. Emma nodded
"Just about I just hope it`s up to his high standard" Emma looked worried and Eva raised an eyebrow. Emma usually wanted to do well at school but this seemed slightly different, almost as if she wanted acceptation from this tutor.
"Emma you know getting close to a teacher it`s not always a good thing you know" Eva said carefully. Emma turned around and faced her mother confusion spread across her face
"Mom I want to do well for myself" she said softly but Eva knew the volcano was coming "Are you saying I have a crush on him." She said calmly "Because as you're always quick to point out I have a boyfriend"
"Em I wasn't..." Eva started to say placing an hand on her daughter`s shoulder but Emma brushed it away standing up quickly and grabbing her jacket from the armchair
"I`m going out" she replied walking towards the front door and slamming it in frustration. Eva sat on the armchair and gave a small smile to herself. Maybe she should go to the university to see who this tutor her daughter was so hung up on. It was clear to Eva that this was who her daughter really liked but she was in the fate of denial
"And also because he`s her tutor as well" Eva said softly to herself just as the front door opened again. Eva looked up expecting to see her daughter but saw Ed, James and Gracie who had just come back from the local shop
"Where`s Emma?" Gracie said softly glancing at her mother
"Just gone for a walk" Eva replied. Gracie nodded and ran upstairs leaving Ed alone with his wife since James had gone in the kitchen
"Eva is Emma ok?" Ed glanced at his wife sitting down in front of the TV "She seems quite distant almost as if she`s thinking about somebody. She isn't in any trouble is she?"
"N-no" Eva shook her head "Probably with the stresses of university work. Hopefully by Christmas she should be back to her normal self". Ed nodded as she settled down in front of the baseball match that was on the television screen while Eva continued her cleaning
(Emma strode down the hill tears burning in her eyes. How dare her mother think she had a crush on Will. Beside even if she did have a crush, which of course she didn't, she already had a boyfriend. Emma got to the bottom of the hill and glanced up at the building in front of her and felt a sudden sense of déjà vu)
"Where I met Will for the first time" Emma thought slightly shivering then wrapping her red coat around her. Emma then slowly opened the door and walked in, ignoring the looks of other people. She just hoped there wouldn't be anybody in from the university. Emma sat down at a table and glanced at the menu
"What would you like to drink?" the waiter beamed
"Just some ice water" Emma replied and the waiter nodded walking away. Emma didn't notice that while the waiter was talking to her somebody had joined their table, somebody she recognised. Her heart jumped as she realised it was Will sitting across from he. He smiled at the waiter as he took his order then sat back
"W-what are you doing here?" Emma said carefully. Will glanced at Emma and then realising who it was looked shocked
"2nd time now" Will muttered and Emma nodded slowly "Well this just gets stranger and stranger" Will mused
"I should go what if somebody sees us. It looks a bit bad you a tutor and everything..." Emma trailed off as Will grabbed her coat sleeve
"And sees what us just having a drink together. They can't make me leave just because of that. And if you're worried about Carl finding out just say you came in and I was on my own "Will smiled gently and Emma knew she couldn't say no to that face. She sat back down as the waiter returned with their drinks
"Didn`t know you had a lady friend" the waiter winked at Will smirking at Emma who started to go red
"Oh no no she`s just" Will started to say
"Yeah he`s my" Emma added on
"Friend" Will added onto his sentence. Emma was about to say tutor but then closed her mouth in surprise. The waiter nodded but smiled as he left the table
"That was close" Will murmured taking a sip of beer
"Did you mean what I said about me being your friend?" Emma looked surprised her eyes turning big. Will nodded
"Yeah I mean I think we have got to know each other pretty well over the past few months". Emma nodded and gave a small smile "Anyway the reason I`m here is because Terri wanted me to go and get some potato crisps she seems to have a craving for them at the moment". Will shook his head bemused then started to flashback while Emma just sat there listening to the story.
"Will!" Terri shouted lying on the sofa her hand hiding the makeshift bump that Kendra had found for her "Can you go and get me some potato crisps the baby seems to like them"
"Didn`t Kendra get you some yesterday?" Will`s face looked confused and Terri nodded
"She did but I ate them all. Honestly Will do you never listen" Terri scowled
"Sorry I just been really busy with essays and then Kendra seems to have been around all the time this week". Will didn't know that Kendra had been popping around just in case that couple who were interested in giving Terri their baby would come to the apartment but so far they hadn't and Terri was starting to get rattled
"Honestly Will sometimes I think you care about those kids more about your own unborn child sometimes" Terri glared hard at Will. However Will wasn't going to take this lying down he loved his child
"You know sometimes Terri f it wasn't for my child sometimes I wonder why I married you" Will said dangerously grabbing his jacket "I'm going out to get those potato chips" he muttered walking towards the door and slamming it behind him. Terri just lay there holding her stomach but was interrupted by the phone ringing. Terri jumped off the sofa and grabbed her cellphone
"Hey Kendra" Terri said gratefully "Don't worry Will isn't here I lied and said I needed some potato chips but really I needed to buy myself sometime"
"That`s good because" Kendra started to say before she was interrupted by a knock on the door
"Kendra I have to go somebody is here it might be Will" Terri replied panicking
"It won't be Will doesn't he have a key and beside why would he knock at his own front door. SHUT UP!" Kendra yelled at her own three triplets who were running around
"Yeah but you never know he might have lost his key" Terri replied panicking. "I have to go". Kendra shrugged before hanging up. Terri walked towards the apartment door, opening the latch and then slowly opened the door. Standing there was a pregnant girl who Terri could only think of being only seventeen or eighteen and a tall dark haired male. Terri noticed the girl was crying softly and rubbing her stomach at the same time
"Mrs Schuester?" the boy spoke and Terri nodded "I'm Kevin we spoke on the phone about the possibly of the adoption. I'm sorry it took so long but Cleo`s mother kicked her out a few days ago, the day we were supposed to meet actually. We needed to find a place to stay but we have sorted that out now. Is now a bad time?" Kevin glanced into the dimly lit apartment but Terri shook her head
"N-no my husband is out at the moment but I'm more than happy to go through the details" Terri smiled. Cleo and Kevin looked at one another confused but entered the apartment Terri shutting the door behind them
"Wont Terri be expecting you back?" Emma said slowly. She was starting to feel uncomfortable about not telling her parents where she was. Will shook his head
"She has my cellphone number so she can ring me if she wants me" he replied but then paused for a minute to glance at Emma "Sorry that was quite harsh wasn't it it's just" he sighed "Terri sometimes pushes me to do things I don't want to do and tonight I just want to just relax and forget about things"
"That`s understandable" Emma nodded with a small smile
"So what about you?" Will glanced up at her. Emma slightly choked on her water
"W-what" she replied wiping her mouth
"Why are you here, there must be a reason" Will smiled. Emma slightly blushed she couldn't tell Will the reason she was here was because of her and her mother falling out about him
"Me and my mom had a falling out" she replied looking down at her hands "She feels that I shouldn't go back to the university. She thinks I feel preoccupied and that if I lived at home then I wouldn't have to deal with an distractions" Like you" Emma thought
"Well that's understandable I mean she`s your mom she`s gonna care about you, I remember when I attended university me and my dad had a major falling out but then I found out years later it was because he wanted to attend university but he didn't have the guts too. Maybe it's the same situation?" Will glanced up at Emma who nodded
"This has been nice" she smiled "Just talking and being able to confide in someone. I mean Rachel, Quinn and the other girls are nice enough but I don't feel close to them just yet"
"What about Carl?" Will raised an eyebrow in amusement and Emma smiled
"I- I dunno I mean he`s nice and everything and if we ever did get married I wouldn't have to live in poverty but there`s something missing" Emma sighed "And at this moment in time I don't know what that is yet". Will finished his beer and stood up glancing at his watch
"I guess I had better get going I mean look at the time" he replied making a face. Emma glanced at her watch too and her face fell
"I'm surprised my dad isn't out looking for me" she replied looking out of the window which was pitch black, Will glanced at Emma and started to nod
"I could walk you home I mean it's not too far and then I'll know you have got home safely" he replied "Or I could just drop you outside the house then nobody would know
"Are you sure?" Emma`s eyes lit up and Will nodded picking up her jacket and placing it on her shoulders
"There you go Cinderella" he smiled and Emma slightly blushed as they walked out of the door. However what they didn't know was that one of the cheerios had been filming the whole scene on her phone and she proceeded to send a message to Sue. The cheerio then placed the cellphone in her pocket and smirked gently to herself sipping on her soda
"Don't stand Don't stand so close to me" Will sung as they rounded the corner to Emma`s condo. She giggled as she wrapped her scarf around her neck
"I think I'll be ok here" Emma replied. She smiled at Will as she gently gave him a hug. She then leant in to kiss his cheek before leaping back in embarrassment
"I shouldn't have done that" she replied "ll see you on Monday" she murmured before running off back to the condo. Will touched his cheek with a fond smile before mentally scolding himself
"She`s your student Will and your wife, your pregnant wife, is at home" he told himself. However he couldn't help but think of a certain red headed girl as he walked away down the hill not knowing that Eva was watching through the window
"So that`s the tutor" Eva smiled to herself before getting on with the dishes.
"Thank you" Sue smiled at the cheerio as she scuttled away back through the doors of Sue`s office. Sue then pressed a button then a few moments later Carl walked through the doors
"I just had a very interesting visitor" Sue lifted her glasses off and stared at Carl "It was from one of my cheerio`s who said she saw your girlfriend in a bar with Schuester. She said nothing happened but here is the evidence if you would like it" She gave Carl the mobile phone with the video footage on it and as he watched Carl wasn't happy. He looked at Sue who just shrugged
"I suggest you get creative before you lose your girl to a guy who`s hair is so curly you could get lost in it" Sue lifted an eyebrow at Carl who just stared back at her "Now what I think we should do it..." Sue then closed the door so we couldn't hear what else she said
"Thank you" Will smiled at Quinn as she handed her assignment in. She then left the room and was followed in by Emma smiling shyly closing the door behind her
"Hey" she replied "I hope I did it justice" she smiled as she handed the folder to Will. Her smile lit up the room and Will couldn't help but stare at her.
"I better go Carl will be waiting for me" she replied "He wants to go out for a meal tonight" she shrugged as if to say it's not my type of thing. She turned around and and walked away leaving Will on his own. How he wanted to just run up and just kiss her. But he knew that he could never do that until she wasn't his student anymore. He just hoped that nothing would come between that...
Next time
Will starts to set up `Triple threat` and Emma decides to join, despite Carl`s annoyance, Meanwhile Eva decides to come to the university and spots Will and Emma talking and notices a spark between them and the girls start to gossip when the assignment marks come out
I really tried hard with this chapter despite the circumstances so I hope you like it. I battled with the ending as I wasn't sure what way it should go but hopefully the ending that I wanted should come in the next few chapters. I hope that the wemma in it was ok in these tough times and hopefully I should have the next chapter up as soon as I can.
