Four months later…
"What is he doing? It is April for godsake he needs to buck up and ask you already," Ruby complains as she and Emma sit down at the lunch table. Emma shrugs.
"What's the point? He's my boyfriend I know we are going together. I already bought my dress and he knows it," she adjusts her glasses. Emma wants him to ask her, but at this point she has given up all hope that it will happen.
"The point?!" Ruby shrieks, "Its so goddamn romantic is the fucking point, Emma. I mean James spelled prom with rose petals on my front lawn and then took me to a candlelit dinner. He knows how to woo a girl. Killian could take note," she says as she collects herself.
"I don't need to be wooed. I am perfectly fine just going with him," Emma says and takes a sip from her water bottle.
"Are you sure?" Ruby asks with her eyebrow raised. Before Emma can answer the intercom beeps and everyone in the lunch room falls silent.
"Would Emma Swan report to room 1705," Mrs. Bell's high pitched voice rings out. Everyone commences their chatter.
"Why do you need to go to your mom's room?" Ruby asks just as confused as she is. Emma shrugs and gets up.
"Grab your stuff lets find out," she orders. The girls pick up their bags and head out. When they arrive the lights are out, but the door is open. Emma steps in cautiously.
"Mom?" Emma asks worried, her heart beat increasing.
"Guess again," Killian's accent rings through the room. She spins around trying to find the source of his voice in the dark. Someone flicks on the lights and Killian is in front of her with a single lily.
"I remember you telling me that roses were too traditional and predictable. That you love lilies for their unique, but simple beauty. You're my lily… will you go to prom with me?" he asks. At this point tears have brimmed in her eyes. Holy shit I did need some romance. She nods vigorously.
"Yes, of course," She runs into his arms and he easily engulfs her. Thank god he asked… I worried he was losing interest or worse forgot all together.
"Good those tears had me worried for a minute," he whispers into her hair. Clapping begins. Ruby, James, her parents and even Graham are there cheering them on. She smiles and blush spreads across her cheeks. Everyone starts to chat amongst themselves. Killian hands her the lily. She takes it and examines it for a minute. She then looks up at him.
"You did all this for me?" as she asks her voices cracks. They both chuckle.
"Of course. You didn't think I forgot did you?" he challenges with one eyebrow raised.
"Well… maybe. I mean it is one month before prom," she states.
"I know, but it had to be a surprise," he says with a devilish smirk.
"If he hadn't asked you today I would've slapped him then made him ask. Don't worry I got your back," Ruby says with a wink. Everyone laughs at this. Emma turns back to Killian.
"You never told me the color of your dress," he states.
"I know this is hard to believe, but its purple," she says with a smug expression on her face.
"I should've known," he smiles down at her and plants a soft kiss on her lips.
Short and sweet... the story's not done yet!
