You woke up to Emily shuffling her body behind you, adjusting her grip on your body. You did the same, stretching your legs and arms out. When you settled, Emily leant into you. She swept the hair away from your neck to rest her head on your shoulder.

'Good morning beautiful.' She said, in a husky voice. 'How'd you sleep?' You traced your fingers over her arm that still rested on your hip.

'Good thank you.' You replied. 'What about you?' Emily started kissing your neck lightly, causing your eyes to close.

'The best, ever.' She said, smiling into your neck.

I wonder if this will happen again. What does it even mean?

'Can I get you anything?' Emily asked, her urge to take care of you taking over even more as this was her house. You turned your body into her so you were laying on your back and could see Emily.

'No, I'm good thank you.' You replied, looking into her eyes. This moment was perfect. You'd slept next to a beautiful woman after the best night, and you woke up to her smiling face.

I think I'm getting attached to her, coming over here like that last night.

'You look so good in the morning.' Emily said, reaching her hand up to stroke your cheek briefly. You smiled back at her.

What if she leaves? What if she gets fed up of me? What if she's got exactly what she wanted now, and she'll give up on me like everyone else does?

'Hey,' Emily said, her face changing to concern as she noticed your smile fade, 'what's going on in that head of yours?' You looked back up at her properly. 'Hmmm?' She prompted you to respond. You forced yourself to smile at her again.

'Nothing.' You replied. You started to lift yourself up to find your phone.

'Hey, wait a second.' Emily lifted herself up to your level to stop you from going anywhere. She moved your chin so you had to look her in the eye. 'Talk to me.' She said, not leaving you the option of not. You exhaled before answering.

'What is this?' You asked. Emily's eyes darted around a little suggesting to you that she didn't know what you meant. 'Not to be that person, but what does last night mean for you?' You asked, immediately regretting bringing it up.

Do I really need clarity that much? She really is gonna think I'm needy now.

Emily started smiling which caught you off guard.

'Y/n,' she started, 'last night meant everything to me.' She laughed, almost like you were crazy to worry.

'Really?' You asked, unable to hide your surprise.

'Yes!' She confirmed, nodding her head and smiling. 'If you're asking me the "what are we?" question, you need to ask yourself what you want too. But from my perspective, I don't see you as just a friend and colleague anymore, y/n.' She said, shaking her head now. You pursed your lips and squinted your eyes a little, trying to wrap your head around what she was telling you.

'So...' you paused, '...you actually see this going somewhere?' Emily sensed straight away that this wasn't you projecting your idea about the situation onto her. She knew that you just needed reassuring of exactly what she wanted. She smiled wider.
