A/N: a little shorter, but more of a filler to bring us to the next one :)

——————————————————————————

As the night ends, Emma yawns and grabs her things from the locker. Her eyes are extremely heavy from the events of the night. From everything that happened with Rhea, to having to rush three athletes out the door to the hospital, and having to help Triple H mediate arguments, Emma is spent.

She makes her way out to the parking lot and looks around. There's no Uber waiting for her. Emma frowns and pulls out her phone. She opens the app and realizes she never actually finished scheduling one.

"Fuck me." She groans and starts the process over.

"Need a ride?" Someone pipes up beside her.

Emma nearly jumps out of her skin but relaxes when she realizes it was just Demi.

"I...sure. I guess I spaced it." Emma says softly.

"Come on. I rented one it's this way." Demi replies and walks towards a big black truck.

Emma follows her to it and smiles slightly as Demi opens the passenger door for her. She climbs in, lets Demi shut the door and watches as she walks around the truck to climb into the driver's seat.

As Demi starts driving, the silence is deafening. It's awkward. Emma doesn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, Emma." Demi finally speaks up.

Emma sighs and looks down at her hands.

"It's alright. We uh..we worked it out."

"I know," Demi grins a little, "but I wanted to say it anyway. I wasn't being fair to you."

Emma looks up and smiles softly at her. Demi reaches over and places a hand on her thigh, not taking her eyes off the road, but smiling.

As they make it to the hotel, Emma hops out of the truck and grabs her things. She yawns and starts to make her way inside when Demi takes her hand gently. She looks over at her and smiles.

"Come to my room?" She asks.

Emma smiles and nods before following Demi to her room. Demi unlocks the door and holds it open for Emma to walk through. She smiles and sets her things down on the floor by the window as Demi puts up the do not disturb sign and locks the door.

"How was your night?" She asks as she walks into the room, grabbing a pair of shorts from her bag.

Emma plops down on the bed and sighs.

"Long as hell." She says and yawns again.

Demi smiles and starts stripping down to her sports bra and underwear. She pulls the shorts on and looks her at Emma, who is eyeing her body hungrily. She crawls onto the bed and over towards Emma.

"Like what you see?" She asks and plants a kiss on her lips.

"Mmhmm," Emma hums in her mouth as she deepens the kiss.

Demi lies her down and starts to make out with her, their tongues dancing around each other. Emma slides her hands down Demi's back and to her hips, trying to slip them into her shorts when Demi pulls back from the kiss and stops her.

"Not tonight baby." She whispers.

"Mmm why not?" Emma asks, squirming a little beneath her.

"Because I want to take you on a date." Demi smiles.

Emma looks in her eyes. She wants to take her on a date? Like a real date?

"You do?" She asks.

Demi nods, "I do."

"So..this..isn't just..sex?" She asks softly.

Demi raises an eyebrow and sits up.

"Did you want it to be?" She asks.

Emma leans up on her elbows and shakes her head quickly.

"No! No I didn't mean it like that I just..I didn't know what you wanted." She stumbles over her words.

Demi chuckles and kisses her cheek.

"We fly home tomorrow. Why don't I pick you up from your place at four?" She asks, caressing Emma's cheek with her hand.

Emma blushes at the touch and smiles.

"Okay, yeah." She replies.

"Then it's a date. Wear something nice but bring something comfortable." She says.

Emma raises an eyebrow this time and smiles.

"What are the plans?" She asks.

"That's for me to know and you to find out baby." She winks before laying down next to her.

Emma yawns as Demi turns the TV on and pulls the blankets up to her chin. She shivers a little.

"Are you cold?" Demi asks.

"Yeah." Emma says.

Demi scoots closer to her and gently envelopes her in a hug. She wraps her arms around her tightly and pulls her close to her body. Emma relaxes at the warmth radiating from her and rests her head against Demi's chest. Demi places a soft kiss on the top of her head and she falls soundly asleep in her arms.
