Emma's POV
The weekend with my brother had been very fun, he was always there for me despite that time where he pushed me to the run off lagoon. I don't know if he's guilty and trying to make it up for me or if he's really that way. I don't hold grudge on him so I think he doesn't have to be that kind.
I was thankful that Will hasn't tried to contact me for the past few days. It kept my mind out of that... night. Well, kept my mind off of it during the day at least. I still dream about it, I remember the way he held onto me or kissed me, I remembered every single thing he told me, every word of endearment to him expressing how good I felt.
I didn't want to go to work and see him and pretend like nothing happened.
I told my brother about me filing a divorce from Carl. I know he's happy, he never really wanted me to marry Carl. He asked me why I changed my mind about it and of course I had to lie. I would never tell him about what happened last Friday. He'd have a bad first impression of Will and I didn't want that.
I get out of the car and I proceed to walk to my office. I bite my lip hoping I won't get to see Will today. All I told myself last night would go down slope if I see him this early in the morning.
Thankfully I got inside the school without him seeing me.
But I spoke too soon. There he was, I heard his voice greeting an English teacher, he was getting closer to me. "Hi Em." he gives me a lopsided smile and he winks.
OH God.
"H-hi Will." I wave back still in daze. He looks at me weirdly and he smiles. He walks away; misery.
Breathe in, Relax Emma, that's how friends greet each other. You're just friends, nothing more. Breathe out.
I get inside my office and I start to fix my things, I have lots of appointments today, a lot more than I could handle but I'm glad that Lena, one of the students in Mckinley High, is coming on Will's free period. I still can't imagine myself talking to him one on one, his face just centimeters away from mine.
It's too tempting.
This is one of the worst days in the history of my worst days. First of all, everything the students told me reminded me of Will or the situation we were in. Mr. Martinez, the new principal, stacked me with paper work. And at lunch, Will looked like an angel and I just couldn't stop looking at him. I think he noticed it cause he looked weirdly at me while I was talking to Shannon. And lastly, Lena just canceled the appointment, saying she has practice for the synchronized swimming team, apparently, they're going to Nationals in a a week. And if Lena cancels, there's a huge possibility Will would come, and there's the fear that he won't come too.
Him coming would just send me over the edge. I've been handling this no relationship between us thing not so greatly. And if he doesn't come, that means he doesn't want to see me because he would feel awkward when I'm around, or maybe because I was trying to flirt with him at lunch time.
Oh God, did his feelings for me change?
Two minutes before Will's free period. It's going to be okay Emma. You can do this. So what if he doesn't come? You'll have one whole period with yourself. And if he does come then why not? It's not like you're not friends. Stop overreacting.
I see the kids getting out of their classrooms, running to their locker or laughing with their friends, others going to their next period classes.
And then I see Will. He was walking towards my office. He has sun glasses on and I was confused on why so. But God those glasses made him even more sexy.
I bite my lip and look down at the paper work I was doing. I could already feel myself blush and he was fifty meters away from me. I look up and I see him smirk.
He's nearing the office and I pretend to be busy. He opens the door and greets me. My head snaps up, pretending like I'm shocked that he's here. He rolls his eyes.
"I know you saw me Emma." he says, his voice low.
"I did not." I bite my lip, looking down.
"Yes you did. And if I could see clearly, I saw you blush." he says sitting on the table. Another turn on.
"What?" I look at him, flustered. "Where?" I gasp and my eyes widen. Oh God this is so embarrassing.
He reaches out to touch my face and I'm glad the students were in their respective classrooms.
"Here." he caresses my cheek and lets out a soft moan. It was barely heard but enough for me to hear.
"Where else?" I ask. Oh God, I was playing the game too.
He slides his fingers down to my neck, caressing it gently. "There." he says, his voice low and seductive. "You're so soft Emma." he says, closing his eyes in pleasure.
"I-uhm, thank you." I say, I was blushing.
"I love yo-"
I close my eyes. He was going to say the three words.
"Will, we talked about this." I tell him. "You promised, I promised, we both promised." I close my eyes looking away from his face. I see his face contorting, he's mad. I wil myself to look back at him. "Will..."
"I love you." he says before I could object.
"Will, we can't. We promised and you agreed. You agreed to me Will." I tell him.
"I just- I just can't forget the way you said my name, or the way you clung to me." he closes his eyes as if remembering Friday night, or should I say Saturday morning. "You're so beautiful. I want to be with you again, with all of you." he looks at me with so much love and I look away to stop myself from getting tempted.
"Will, I think you have to go." I look down. "I need to do some paper work." I bite my lip.
"If you want me to leave just tell me, don't lie to me Emma. I know that those papers don't need to be with Joseph till next week. " he tells me and he sighs afterwards.
"Can you please leave?" I ask him. He shrugs and gets off the table, slowly walking away from me.
God Emma. You hurt him.
"You're still my best friend Will." I tell him. As if that would make everything better.
He turns back. "Are you doing this because your feelings for me have changed?" he asks me.
"Will I still-" love you.
"You know what don't answer that. I don't want to make this day worst." he says cutting me off.
"Will, listen to me please." I tell him.
"I don't want to get more hurt than I already am." he tells me harshly.
I stand up and rush to him. I give him a soft kiss on the lips. "I hope that makes everything clearer." I say going back to the seat I was occupying minutes ago.
"Em..." he touches his lips, as if he doesn't believe what just happened. He approaches me again.
"We promised we'd wait right?" I tell him. He sighs.
"Just don't make me wait too long."
"I will file the divorce today." I finally tell him. His eyes turn happier. "If everything goes well I would be legally single again in a month." he smiles.
"I'll help you through this." he tells me.
The bell rings.
"Bye Em." he smiles. "I'll see you tomorrow."

I smile as Will walks through my office to go to his car. He's going home, and I have to understand the fact that he's not going home to me, he's not going home to anyone.
Once again, I resist the urge for me to go and follow him to his house.
