Emma started the next day with painting. I mean she did have to make a living right? So off to the easel it was.
After a couple hours of painting she decided it was time to check the mail. She had hoped to find a letter from Leighton. But no such luck.
Instead she had received a letter from someone she could have lived without hearing from ever again, Hank Goddard. (You know the one who has a wife!) The letter went like this: "I've been too shy to say it in person, but I really care about you a lot. Do you feel something for me?"
Emma wanted to scream "YES ITS CONTEMPT. LEAVE ME ALONE!" not that it would do any good.
Feeling disgusted and needing to calm her nerves she decided a thorough house cleaning was in order. As soon as she was done with her many chores she called up Leighton and invited him over.
To her delight he said yes. So she decided to gussy up a little before he arrived.
Emma was tired of beating around the bush and wanted to look her best so she could win his heart and possibly her first kiss.
Soon Leighton arrived, and before she knew it they were flirting away like two teenagers in love.
Wanting to take it slow Emma decided the next best step was to try for a hug first and to her great joy it was a huge success. At this point they decided to go on their first date to the movies followed by a quiet and intimate dinner.
Emma and Leighton both didn't really care too much for the movie. They really just wanted to eat and spend some more time getting to know one another (and in the process getting lost staring into each others eyes because lets face it they were made for each other).
After dinner they walked around town talking and flirting until they found a nice spot to sit and relax.
Seeing how bright and beautiful the stars were tonight Emma asked Leighton if he would like to sit and stargaze for a bit. Of course he said yes. That is when Emma decided it was time to act and she ever so slyly grabbed his hand leaning in closer to him.
Before she knew it they were whispering sweet nothings in each others ears and lets be honest, things were really heating up at this point. (at least emotionally)
Leighton being the gentleman that he was took Emma home without so much as a good night kiss. Both of them enjoyed each others company and said that they hoped the next date would be more lively.
Emma took the next morning off so she could enjoy the the beautiful weather and the Summer Festival that was currently taking place. First she decided to join in on the eating contest.
Ready, Set, Goooooooooooooooo!
Wow! Look at her stuff her face. Ha Ha. It looks like she is in the lead, but can she win?
Looks that way. Winning the eating contest Emma ended up taking home a weeks worth of hot dogs (not that she could stand to eat anymore) and some festival tickets.
While at the festival Emma received an invite to Leighton's party. She of course happily accepted.
Looking at her watch Emma noticed she still had some time before Leightons party so she decided that there was time for a snow cone and some roller skating action.
After a couple hours practice Emma finally got the hang of skating and then decided it was time to be off to Leighton's party.
At the party it was apparent to everyone there that Leighton and Emma only had eyes for each other. After a mental pep talk Emma worked up her courage and asked Leighton if she could stay the night (because frankly she didn't want to leave just yet and her curiosity at what could be got the best of her)
Will she get that kiss she has been after, or will it go further and she ends up pregnant? You'll find out this and more in the next chapter. Who knows maybe aliens will even make an appearance. You won't know unless you tune in next time ;). Thanks for reading!
Please comment below and let me know what you think.






















I love this pairing so much, and I'm happy Leighton seems to feel just as strongly for her. Hank Goddard is being a pain, he should just stay married to Pauline and act like the married man he is.
ReplyDeleteI think things will go further than a first kiss, they both seem ready for a long term commitment.
Great update!
