Thank you for all the lovely review guys! They really do make me want to write this story :)

Chapter 6

Emma arrived at the office earlier than usual as she was certain that Killian would show up there at the same time she did and then they would have to face the sexually charged elevator ride to the office. Moreover, after admitting to him about her being in love, and him opening up about his tattoo, Emma really didn't want to see him.

She saw Killian walk inside the office wearing a navy suit and smiling at the employees who were greeting him. He looked towards her office and she immediately looked down at the paperwork of his will. She continued working on it, dreading the fact that she'll have to go see him for this.

She looked up from the will on her desk to David's face who had knocked on her door and seated himself on one of the chairs facing her table. Emma smiled at him and he spoke, "Emma where were you going with Killian yesterday? And what is this work he's asking you to do?"

Emma rolled her eyes at him playfully - Poor old David, always so overprotective of her! – "I'm just working on his will, and yesterday we met with the woman he's adding to his will"

"Oh" David said, a note of relief in his voice.

"Look David, I know you mean well, but trust me you don't have to keep asking me about every guy I talk to" Emma said, "Just trust me, ok?"

David nodded, "We just want you to be happy – which reminds me, you're coming Saturday night for dinner right?"

"Yes, of course Mary Margaret has already called me twice about it"

David smiled at her and left, trusting her since she was good enough to resist this Killian Jones.

Once Emma was done with Killian's will, she gathered the papers and headed to his office. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm down as he probably also doesn't want to talk about the woman who broke his heart. Jack was sitting on his table outside Killian's office and told Emma to go right in.

Emma knocked twice before she opened the door. Killian was lost in some papers in front of him, as his eyebrows were twitched together in concentration and his tongue was peering out from his lips. He didn't even notice once Emma came to stand in front of his table.

Emma coughed and Killian's eyes shot up, a smile appearing on his face for a second before he asked her, "Swan, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Your will, I'm done" Emma told him, handing him the papers which he took with a 'thank you'. He let them fall on his desk and looked up at her, a smile on his face.

"Aren't you gonna check them?" Emma asked, ticking her eyebrow up.

"I trust you Swan" he responded, sitting back on his seat with his arms folded up, "So are you coming to the work club night on Friday?"

Emma had heard about this club night from one of her colleagues, a stern woman in her mid-fifties who was annoyed with the fact that Liam resigned without any explanation and his good for nothing brother took over. She was also fussed over how the entire office had been reacting to it – the women all happy since the man was hot and apparently single, while the men were happy as well since it meant good parties. She had complained endlessly to Emma about how a 'club night' as a welcome party is very unprofessional to have and she would never attend it in a million years.

"I'm not sure yet" Emma responded, "To be quite honest, I'm not exactly friends with the people here. They are just people I work with, not friends"

"Ah, I see. David being the exception of course?" Killian asked, still leaning back on his chair.

"I've known David for a very long time – he's like a brother to me. But ya, I would feel kind of lost at the club night so I'm not too keen"

"I'll tell you what Swan" Killian spoke, "Why don't you bring some other friends along with you? That barista girl seems to be your friend, am I correct?"

Emma's mind went straight to Ruby, the only person she could truly call a friend and who knew all about Emma's ugly past. Mulan was surely more than just a talking buddy, but they had never hung out outside of Starbucks – they had occasionally shared drinks and food at Starbucks when Emma was out for lunch and Mulan was on her break.

She looked up at Killian who had an eyebrow raised and was looking at her with a challenging look. No way was she going to back down from this now, she'll go to this stupid club night just cause she knew Killian was going to say something incredibly either smug or teasing.

"Sure, I'll bring Mulan and another friend of mine with me" Emma responded and Killian pursed his lips to prevent himself from grinning like an idiot as Emma walked out.

The next few days went with a breeze. Surprisingly, there wasn't much work in the office as either Liam was still working along from Ireland or Killian actually wasn't as useless as people thought him to be.

Killian and Emma had bumped at Starbucks another day and this time Emma resorted to talking to him in there as they went up the elevator together in order to not sexually charge up the situation unnecessarily (which she still failed as Killian was almost pressed to her in the elevator).

They hadn't talked much as Emma was busy working with David and Killian was usually in the conference room, meeting up with the board of directors or some big shot clients of the company. Emma was kind of glad though, every time she used to look at him and find him smiling back at her, something flickered in her belly – something she hadn't experience since, well since around five years now and it scared the crap out of her.

As Friday approached, the employees left for home early as they all had to get ready for the club night. Apparently Killian had made arrangements in the newly opened and famous club, ensuring that the employees could get in without having to wait in line like others. Many of the older employees and people just generally uninterested in the office and parties declined to go, but the others were excited.

David wasn't going as clubs weren't his thing, plus he had a date night with his wife Mary Margaret.

Emma was at Starbucks after work, waiting for Mulan to gather her stuff and come with Emma to her apartment where Ruby already was, and where the girls would get ready.

She felt him behind her before he spoke, "Getting ready for the night, Swan?"

Emma turned around, "It seems so. Aren't you? Or are you going to go to a nightclub wearing a suit?"

Killian grinned, "Are you going to go to a nightclub wearing a suit yourself?"

Thankfully, Mulan saved her from this conversation as she appeared with her bag. Emma introduced Mulan and Killian to each other and Mulan headed for Emma's bug.

"See you tonight" Killian stated, docking his head backwards.

"Emma should I wear red heels or black?" Ruby screamed from the room as Emma applied her classic black liquid eyeliner, except this time she winged it. Emma walked out of the bathroom and Ruby whistled, "Oooooh Emma, Killian is surely going to die!"

Emma rolled her eyes. After going through many dresses she was going to give up – dressing up wasn't usually her thing. At work she used to wear professional suits and skirts, and at home she usually donned an oversize shirt. If she was going out with Ruby which were usually just pubs or restaurants, she would wear jeans. Dresses were a rarity for her.

She used to love dresses – pretty floral print dresses that ended mid-thigh and made her feel young. He used to love them too since it gave him quicker and better access to the place just above her thigh. Since the incident happened, Emma had never worn a floral dress. She used to see them in the windows of stores, used to admire them and wish she could buy it and wear it, but she never had the guts. It reminded her of him.

For tonight Emma had chosen to wear a tight plain black dress with a deep enough neckline for which Ruby had forced her to wear a push up bra, thus giving Emma a pretty impressive cleavage. The back had three thick strips, showing quite a lot of skin and the tightness of her dress was outlining the curve of her ass. Feeling a bit too exposed with her exposed cleavage, Emma wore a thick golden necklace along with golden studs in her ear.

"Shut up Ruby. I'm not trying to do anything with Killian" Emma responded since maybe telling someone else would make her believe it herself. "And red heels"

"Mulan you ready?" Emma asked, the girl pouring three shots of vodka. She handed them both each and grabbed hers, "I just want to make out with some guy or girl tonight!"

"Same girl, same" Ruby responded and after clincking the shot glasses, the three downed down the drink. "By the way Emma so that we're clear, if you get drunk and try to make out with your boss, should we stop you or not?"

Emma's eyes shot up and she glared at Ruby, "Of course! But I'm not getting drunk and I don't want to make out with Killian!"

"Sure" Ruby and Mulan said at the same time as they smirked at each other while following Emma to her bug.

A darkened place with alcohol and music and people grinding to each other or intensely making out? Surely, it would be the least sexually tensed place for Emma and Killian.

Notes: - Next chapter should be maybe a bit long as I kind of want to include Mulan and Ruby in it as well.

- And ofc things are gonna get heated next chapter!

Leave reviews? Pretty please :)
