Chapter 2: Having a wonderful evening

Boston; Sunday; noon

*beep beep beep beep* Killian turned to his bedside table and pressed the alarm off while he rubbed his eyes before he realized what time it was.

"Shit, I missed the whole morning." he said to himself actually caring. He threw the curtains open and met a bottle of liquor that was on the kitchen counter. Normally he would have unscrewed the bottle and wouldn't have even thought twice about drinking from it, but he didn't touch the alcohol today. Where was he last night? Oh yeah, in a bar... With a lovely woman who he took home. But this time it was different, no kiss, no hug, nothing. She got his attention by being uninterested in an unusual way, she was special. "Let's see if my closet has something presentable I could wear."

"Come on, Henry, you're late!" Emma gave Henry his coat and took him to school, she watched him walk away towards the entrance and he was greeted by a few other boys of his age, she had seen them before. His friends liked to play videogames at their apartment. She laughed and drove back to her apartment where she plopped down on the couch, she had nothing planned for today.

7 PM

"Hello?" Emma picked up the phone in her apartment, it was the phone that was attached to the doorbell of the building.

"Have you forgot the time, love?"

"Who is this?" another prank caller, were her thoughts.

"One word." He paused "Pirate."

Shit, she knew exactly who he was. Killian… Killian Jones was his name "Um, Killian… I'm sorry. The door is open." she heard him coming into the building.

"Henry!" she yelled "Wanna earn ten dollars? Keep that guy from last night busy, talk to him or whatever you want." she ran to her bedroom and swung the doors of her closet open.

"Ten dollars? Well why not." Henry had put the money in his pocket and already opened the door before Killian even had the chance to knock.

"Well, hello mate. You must be the son of Emma." Killian laughed, he was wearing a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt, another V-neck. He wore a grey blazer to protect him from the cold and his hair was very neat, Killian had to congratulate himself in his choice of appearance.

Henry reached out his hand, "I'm Henry." He shook his hand with Killian's who then told him his name. "Do you like video games?" Henry asked.

"Only if I win." Killian winked at Henry and then was coaxed into playing a game on the PlayStation 4, until Emma walked in. She wore a red, tight dress that came just above her knees. Her black pumps went perfect with the elegant dress. Her hair was softly curled and half pinned up so that her silver earrings were visible.

"Make sure she gets home okay, otherwise there will be no breakfast for me tomorrow morning." Henry said with a wide smile as he laughed at his own joke.

"I see that you have both already met." Emma gave her son a wink and a hug as she walked out with Killian.

"And so where did you have in mind?" Emma looked at his clothes, he had probably worked hard to look so handsome.

"You'll see." Killian said as he placed his arm around her waist, causing Emma to become a little tense under his touch.

They went to a restaurant, a beautiful one, it was like a large courtyard. Emma did not expect something like this, especially not from Killian. He didn't really give her too much of a good first impression, much like all the other men in the bar. But there was something special about him... Of course, there was the fact that he was handsome and proving to be a real charmer, But if you looked deep into his eyes, you saw how shy the tough guy really was around her.

"I never expected this." Emma chuckled as she walked beside him, Killian Jones, Pirate of Boston.

"If you do something, you have to go all out and make it good." He replied as he walked to the passenger side door of his car and held the door open for her, "My love." he said with a wink at Emma who rolled her eyes and got on. Killian sat down behind the steering wheel and drove her home.

They walked the stairs of the apartment building which lead to her floor, again they did not the elevator. However Emma was street smart and still kept a little distance from her date.

"I hope you've had a good time, miss Swan." Killian said as they stood in front of Emma's door. She didn't answer, she didn't really know what to answer. She just smiled at him in reply before looking down.

"I'll take that as a no, shall I?" Killian teased. She took a step closer and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"That's all you are getting for tonight." she winked at him, opened the door and walked into her apartment knowing that Henry had heard everything from what she just said.

"Give me a game controller." Emma picked one up from the table and started the game with Henry.

"So, you're in a good mood?" Henry said to distract his mom from the game.

"I'm going to beat you tonight." She gave as a response. Henry knew enough, she had a lot of fun.

"Does that mean you will bring my breakfast to my bed tomorrow morning? As you're so happy."

Emma took a pillow from the couch and threw it at her son's head, "Forget it kid!"

"It was worth a try." he said, laughing as he grabbed his controller again and as always, his mother defeated him in their usual racing game.
