I do not own an of these characters. They all belong to Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, the creators of Once Upon a Time.
I was wondering if a certain lass would like to see me again?
Of course. When?
I was thinking tonight?
Well it is a Friday.
Is that a yes?
Yes. It is a yes.
Stop staying yes. I'll pick you up at seven.
Sounds great.
Killian put down his phone and smiled. He was looking forward to seeing her again but a small voice in his head kept reminding him that he had tried to kiss her that night in the bar. He wondered what would have happened if the paps hadn't gotten in the way. Or if she hadn't been dragged away by that woman he was presuming was her friend.
"What's put a smile on your face?"
Killian looked over to the door where Graham stood.
"Nothing," Killian said.
Graham groaned, "Enough with the 'nothing's because they are becoming a pretty pathetic excuse now."
Killian rolled his eyes and chose to ignore him. Graham walked over and snatched Killian's phone out of his hands.
"OI," Killian shouted. He got up from his seat and chased after Graham, who had run out of Killian's dressing room.
As Killian ran out into the corridor, he spotted Graham leaving the building. Killian sprinted down the hallway and pushed open the door. Sunlight blinded him for a moment but he soon started chasing Graham across to the costume department. When he entered the building Killian looked around but had no clue where Graham had went.
"Gus, have you seen Graham?" Killian asked. Gus was one of the costume designers for the movie.
"No, I haven't ask Jaq," Gus replied.
Jaq came in with a handful of fabric and smiled, "He told me not to tell you that he was hiding in amongst the jackets up at the back."
"YOU TRAITOR," Graham yelled from the other side of the room.
"Just the person I need. Thank you," Killian gave the two men a salute and ran in the direction of Graham's voice.
"HUMBERT, GIVE ME MY PHONE NOW," Killian yelled.
"Why? Are you hiding something from me? Were you having naughty conversations with that Swan girl?" Graham laughed as Killian threw a hanger at him.
"Graham, hand it over," Killian said, holding his hand out.
Graham threw the phone to Killian and held up his hands, "I only wanted to know what you were smiling about but because you didn't tell me, I had to go to extreme lengths to find out."
Killian tried to keep a straight face but eventually burst out laughing which made Graham start laughing too. As they made their way back to the main building, Killian told Graham what he was smiling at.
"Good for you, mate," Graham said, patting him on the back. "But for the record, I will steal your phone again if you don't tell me."
"It's a deal," Killian said and started laughing again.

"Ruby?" Emma asked.
"What?"
"Are you seeing anyone that you're not telling me about?"
Ruby looked at her friend, "Why are you asking?"
"I was just wondering," Emma said.
Ruby narrowed her eyes, "That's not the sort of thing you 'wonder' about."
"It is when I see you smiling more often and when you are never far from your phone. What's his name?" Emma asked. She knew Ruby inside and out. It was practically impossible for her to hide anything from Emma any more.
"His name is Victor," Ruby said.
"That's a name you don't hear often," Emma said laughing.
Ruby cracked a smile, " Stop it. He's a doctor."
Emma smiled at her friend, "You think he is the one?"
"Emma, shut up. I don't know yet. I met him just before I found out about you and Killian and-"
"There is no me and Killian," Emma said bluntly, cutting Ruby off.
Ruby huffed before continuing, "As I was saying, I met him just before I found out you were friends with Killian and we instantly hit it off. It's been great. I think it's been about a month or so now but I'm not sure."
"It probably has been a month because you've known about Killian and I being friends for around three weeks," Emma said.
"Yeah," Ruby said.
They sat for while just watching television, not knowing what to say to each other.
After about an hour, Ruby asks, "What are you wearing tonight?"
"I'm not sure. I was thinking of something along the lines of trousers a shirt and a blouse," Emma said.
"Sounds good. You better start getting ready, he will be here soon," Ruby said. "Shout on me if you need help."
Emma got up from the sofa and made her way to her bedroom. She picked out an outfit and after laying it on the bed, went to the bathroom to put on some make-up. She didn't go all out, just some foundation powder and mascara. Emma picked up a hairbrush and brushed out her curls before heading back to her bedroom to put on her clothes.
Just as Emma was putting on her jeans, she heard the door to her apartment open. She tried to pull on her jeans faster but lost her balance and fell into the bedroom door.
"Emma? Are you okay?" Ruby pushed open the door to see Emma lying in a heap on the ground half naked.
"Yeah. At least I think so," Emma said. She rubbed the side of her head and groaned.
"Swan? What's happened?" Killian asked as he poked his head round the door. When he saw Emma on the floor without a shirt on he instantly turned round.
"Shit, sorry. I didn't realise you were- I didn't know what happened so I-" Killian tried to explain.
"It's okay," Emma said. She quietly shut the door and leaned against it. She hung her head in embarrassment. After a few seconds she picker herself up off the ground and finished getting dressed. She grabbed a bag and walked out of the bedroom.
"Ready to go, Swan?" Killian asked. Emma noticed how he didn't quite look her in the eye. He must be embarrassed himself.
"Yeah," Emma said.

For their second date they didn't go anywhere too fancy. They went to a simple restaurant.
"How has your week gone," Killian asked.
"Good, my boss said that I might get a promotion," Emma said.
"Wow, you must be happy about that," said Killian.
Emma sat back in her chair and took a sip of wine, "I am actually. I wasn't doing to good but I seem to have picked up my game a little."
"Maybe that's because of me," Killian rose an eyebrow and smirked.
Emma kicked him under the table, "Don't get your hopes up buddy."
Killian just laughed.
"I watched the trailer for your movie," Emma said. She was trying to keep the conversation going as it didn't seem to lively.
"What did you think?" Killian asked.
"I think it was a lot more useful for telling me what the movie is about than you are," Emma said. "And your co-worker looks great. He looks better than you." Emma was trying to annoy him. She thought he was adorable when he was all worked up.
When Killian growled, Emma laughed, "I thought you were on a date with me?"
"I am," Emma said. She tried to act innocent but she could not seem to hold her smile in.
Eventually Killian caught on that she was kidding and smiled too.
They ate the rest of their meal having small talk but when the cheque came they started arguing. Even though Emma grabbed the tray first, Killian took it off her and put his money on it.
"Killian you can't keep paying," Emma said. They were both in the car and Emma had her arms crossed.
"I'm going to pay anyway," Killian said.
They drove for a few minutes in silence when Emma noticed they weren't headed back to her apartment.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked.
"Wait and see," Killian said. He didn't want to give anything away.
Killian drove his car into a small parking lot next to the sea and got out the car. He ran round to open the Emma's door for her and Emma just rolled her eyes. Killian led her over to a small bench facing out towards the water
"This is really pretty," Emma said. Killian watched her as she looked out to the sea. Yet again he was mesmerized by her beauty. After a moment, she turned to look at Killian.
"I haven't forgotten what happened at the bar," Emma said softly.
Killian blinked a few times, "Why didn't you bring it up?"
"I guess I was just scared. I wasn't sure how to ask you about it," Emma said.
"Do you want to ask me about it now?"
"No."
"No? Why not?"
"Because I'd rather just continue what we already started."
Emma leaned forwards and her lips met his. Killian was surprised for a moment but started to kiss her back. Emma's arms wrapped around his neck and her fingers grabbed the hair at the nape of his neck. Killian tangled his fingers in her hair and nipped at her bottom lip. Emma deepened the kiss and Killian let out a small groan. Killian was the first to pull away and when he looked back at Emma her lips were red and swollen from the kiss. After a few moments Killian got up from the bench and held out his hand to help Emma up.
"Let's get you home, love."
Hi! I hope this is worth the wait. I would have uploaded this a few hours earlier but I decided to watch some Doctor Who and I was an emotional wreck (I watched 'The Angels Take Manhattan' if you watch Doctor Who you will know what I'm talking about). I have started writing longer chapters so I'm quite pleased with myself. The next chapter will be up as soon as possible! Thank you for all the reviews/follows/favourites, they are much appreciated. Reviews make my day xx
