Chapter 2

9 Months until the wedding

Two weeks had passed since their first meeting, Emma was currently in her office getting ready for her second meeting with Killian and Milah. This time she wasn't as nervous as she had been the first time, she was just glad that they both seemed like nice people. Unfortunately she deals with clients who are mean and rude more times than she would like. Even though sometimes her clients can be mean she has only once ever quit a job when this certain lady took things to far which left Emma in tears and her best friend and room mate, August, cancelling his plans for the night to stay home with her, eating rocky road an watching her favorite movie The Princess Bride. A few years ago, one of the first time he had ever watched the movie with her she had admitted to him that it has always been a dream of hers for a guy to tell her 'As you wish.' After that day August made it a goal to say it to her as much as possible until it just became a habit, even though he did love her it wasn't in the same way that Westley loved Buttercup. They had been friends ever since they were in diapers and have never been or wanted to be anything more. Their friends from high school and August's parents always thought they would end up together, his parents actually still think and hope they will but their friendship means to much to them to be possibly ruined by getting into a relationship.

"How long will this meeting be?" August asks, walking into her office from the reception room, placing himself down on her desk. Sometimes when he's not busy and she has a lot of clients he comes over to the office and helps her out, he's sort of like her unofficial assistant. If she's meeting with a client and someone else comes in wanting to see her he finds an available spot for them to come back and meet with her or he answers her phone a takes messages. She actually has an official assistant but she also helps out at her grandmother's diner which sometimes makes her unavailable to help Emma, which she doesn't mind.

"About two hours it shouldn't take longer than that," she replies.

"I was thinking we can go get dinner afterwards I've been craving Mexican." he says to her. Having been craving it since he saw a commercial advertising it on tv the other day.

"Tacos do sound good right now and get off of my desk there are chairs right there." she says as she tries but fails to push him off the desk.

"It's a date then." August says to her as he hops up off the desk.

"Its a date." she repeats back to him. They hear hear someone walking in.

"I'll pick you up at 6:30, I'll be waiting out here."

"I'll be ready. Let them know they can come in and also can you put up the closed sign and maybe lock it so that no one else comes please, thank you." she says standing up to greet Killian and Milah

"As you wish." he tells her as he walks out and does what she's asked. She knows he started saying that to her after she had told him she wanted someone to tell her that and it just sort of became a natural response. Although she appreciates that he does it to make her happy, and it does, it's just not the same as when Westley says it to Buttercup but she's ok with that because she's accepted that she might never find her Westley. She's just happy that she has August in her life even if all they'll ever be is friends, not that she wants to be more.

Killian and Milah walk in closing the door behind them as per Emma's request. They exchange 'hello's' and 'how are you's' before sitting down and starting their discussion.

"First have you guys decided on a date yet?" Emma asks the couple, opening up the notebook and grabbing a pen from the cup on her desk.

"March 12." Milah says with a smile, excited that they have a date to look forward to. There wasn't a significance to the date they just chose it because its what worked best for their work schedule and it was the one of the only weekends in March that they didn't have anything else scheduled.

"That's in about 9 months which leaves us with about 8 and a half months to plan." Emma says as she writes the date down in the notebook. "Do you know where you want the wedding ceremony and the reception to be? Will you be getting married in a church?"

"Yes we will be getting married in a church, which we already have booked. We haven't decided on where to have the reception though." Miah says.

"We narrowed it down to five but we can't decide which place we should get." Killian says taking out the papers, that show the different possible places for their wedding reception, and hands them to Emma.

Emma takes the papers from Killian looking them over, helping them decide on a place, "How about you choose your top 3 and see if we can book one of them"

They look over them once more deciding on their top three. She asks them which one they really want so she can try and book that one first but they say they love all three of them and will be happy with either one. The first place she calls they are all booked for the month of March so they move on to the next place.

"I was wondering if you had any opening in the month of March specifically the 12th?"

"Just one moment let me check" the lady on the other side of the phone says as she types away on her computer, "Hmm March 12th.. sorry we're booked that day but we do have the 15th available if you'd like to book for that day."

"No thanks, the wedding is one the 12th." Emma replies.

"Oh you're getting married how lovely?"

"No, not me i'm just the wedding planner."

"Oh ok, would you like for us to inform you if for some reason the 12th opens up?"

"Yes that would be wonderful Thank you." Emma says then gives her her name, phone number and email to contact if a booking for the 12th opens up. They then says goodbye and hang up.

"Ok hopefully this place is available and if not you still have two other places to chose from." Emma says to them, hoping that this next place is available because she knows these were the three they really wanted.

"Third times a charm." Killian says with a smile.

"Yeah." Emma replies returning the smile. She calls and it turns out the third time is a charm as they are able to book it. They discuss a bit more about the wedding then agree to meet again in two weeks. Emma walks them out and they exchange goodbyes and goodnights before Killian and Milah leave. After Emma puts everything away in her office her and August head out to go have dinner.
