Luckily my confusion didnt last long as no more then 2 hours after Killian left he texted me.

Jones: Hello love, my apologies for leaving in such a rush this morning but I want to make it up to you. Would you want to meet me for dinner tonight?

Me: Of course I would😊

Jones: Great!😁 I can pick you up at your place around 5 if that works for you.

Me: Yup! Perfect!

Jones: I can't wait😊

Now all I wanted to do was get ready even though it was only 2:00

I sat at my desk for at least an hour thinking about what I could do to pass the time.

Eventually I just went into my room and started getting ready anyways.

I wore the red dress I had showed him earlier that was a flowy long dress that had diamonds along the neckline with small black heels. I brushed out my hair and put it in a high ponytail and then did a small amount of makeup to top everything off.

By the time I was ready it was exactly 5.

I heard a knock at the door and practically flew down the stairs to answer the door.

"Hey Killian." I smiled.

He just stood there with his jaw on the floor causing me to blush.

"Swan.you look bloody brilliant! I told you that dress would compliment your eyes. You look beautiful!"

I blushed and smiled.

"You clean up ok I suppose."

We both laughed and headed out the apartment.

He led me down a small street and soon he pulled me to a small horse drawn carriage with a tall man at the front.

Killian hopped in and I followed him.

The carriage lurched forward with a start and I grabbed on to Killian's arm tightly.

He laughed and put his arm around me calming my nerves a bit.

After a few minutes I completely calm. The scenery around us was amazing and it was hard to not enjoy it.especially with a blue eyed charmer sitting next to you.

Eventually we pulled into Central Park and came up to a restaurant called 'The Green Tavern'. I was glad I had worn a fancyish dress because everyone here had on VERY nice clothes that had to be at least five times as much as this dress was.

Killian checked in and we were brought to a small table by a window overlooking a beautiful garden.

I looked over the menu and ordered a drink.

We continued talking and eventually ate our way through the main course and desert.

By the end of the dinner Killian was staring at me, I tried to ignore him but his gaze was burning into my forehead.

"Are you alright Killian? If you look at me any harder your gonna burn a whole in my head." I laughed.

He smiled.

"I'm fine, love. Great actually. It's just.you are easily the most amazing women I've ever met."

I was shocked.

I was the most amazing women HE had ever met??? No way. That wasn't possible with looks and a personality like his. He had to have met women 15 times better then me that were less of a mess.

I tried to say something but I found it hard to breath so talking seemed impossible at the time.

I looked over at him and saw worry all over his face as I stood up and rushed out of the restaurant. Why could I just admit my feelings to him!?! He had practically told me he liked mesort of.

I found my way into a small empty garden and sat down on a bench crying.

I didnt bother to look up until I heard Killian calling my name and running towards me.

"Swan! Are you alright Emma? I didnt mean to overwhelm you with what I said I just wanted to be honest with you."

His eyes looked almost gray with sadness and I felt horrible. All he did was compliment me and being the screw up I am I ruined it and hurt his feelings along with ruining our friendship.

I barely lifted my head trying to avoid his eyes that I knew would make me crumble into a million pieces.

"I.I just I'm not used to anyone saying anything even remotely nice to me and if they do its to get me to go on a date with them so they can use me. You were the first guy that wasdifferent. You were kind and sweet and I ruined it by running away like I always do."

I bowed my head ready for him to walk away and find someone he deserves but he didnt.

Instead he lifted my head up so I was looking into his eyes.

"Emma Swan, you didnt ruin anything. I dont care if you ran away. Why do you think I followed you? I like you Emma. A lot. And I didnt tell you this because I was worried it would scare you but when I first saw you my world lit upliterally. I could see color for the first time in my whole life. And call me hopeful but I think you did too."

I couldnt stop myself from smiling.

"Yeah I did. "

His face lit up and his eyes went back to the ocean blue that made me feel butterflies in my stomach.

I couldnt help myselfI slowly leaned in closing my eyes until our lips connected.

Our kiss was slow and soft but meaningful. It was like I was melting into his touch.

When we pulled apart my smile was bigger then it had ever been before.

"So what does this make us then?" I asked unsure of myself.

He laughed.

"Whatever you want us to be Emma. I for one would love to be able to call you my girlfriend if thats alright with you."

I smiled and kissed him again.

"I'm gonna take that as a yes?" He asked.

"Yes!"

He smiled and pulled me into another kiss.

When we pulled apart we stood up and started walking back to the street seeing as it was 9 and starting to get dark. Which meant the people got creepier in New York.

We called over a Taxi and got in trying not to act like giddy teenagers in front of this stranger.

When we got to my apartment I insisted that he come in.

So we walked in and both sat on the couch exhausted from the day.

"Wanna watch Netflix?" I asked him.

"Sure Swan, your hearts desire thats all I want for you." I grabbed the remote and sat right next to him putting on 'How I Met Your Mother' because why not.

Halfway through the episode a new character came on screen.

"Swan! That lass looks like you! It's a splitting image!" Killian pointed at Zoey Peirson.

I laughed and had to agreewe were pretty similar.

After the episode I was almost asleep on Killian's shoulder.

He slowly lifted me up and brought me into my bedroom setting me down lightly on my bed.

He placed a small kiss on my forehead.

"Goodnight Swan, I'll text you tomorrow morning."

I grabbed his hand.

"Text me when you get back to your place so I know you made it back alright."

He smiled.

"Alright I will. Goodnight love."

With that he slowly crept of my apartment.

It wasnt until about 11:30 that I got a text.

Jones: Just got home, talk to you tomorrow morning😘💘

I smiled and quickly changed his contact name.

Me: Alright😘 goodnight Killian.💖

Killian💖:Goodnight💕

I smiled at my phone and placed my phone in the bedside table falling into a sleep with dreams of the man I was slowly falling for.
