Life Never goes as Planned

Hawaii

I'm finally on the plane on my way to Hawaii with Killian. I look at Killian and I can't help but be attracted not only physically but intellectually. As he's there looking through his laptop all I can think about is what the hell am I doing here. I don't even know why I'm doing this and said yes to all this. I mean I really do like Killian but I don't want this story to repeat and especially with Neal all of a sudden popping back into my life. I can't help but be scared. I look out the window and Killian grabs my hand. I turn around and he kisses my hand. "Thank you so much for doing this Emma." I nod and smile. "You're welcome."

Two hours later we finally make it and we drive off to his town. We drive to his house and I'm in shock, it's a huge mansion next to a river and towards the end it reaches the ocean. "Your family lives here?" I ask shocked as can be. He laughs. "Yes, this is where my humble family lives." I chuckle. "Humble huh?" He smiles. We drive up to the driveway well I think it's the driveway it's so big I don't even know what's what. We stop in front then a man dressed as a butler opens my door and I get off. "Thanks." I say and he nods. Killian comes next to me and we walk up to the front doors. "Welcome home Mr. and future Mrs. Jones." The butler says. Killian smiles. "Thanks Joe, it's good to be back." He smiles and nods. I couldn't help but feel weird when Joe said future Mrs. Jones. Killian grabs hold of my hand. "Everything will be ok." He whispers and gives me a reassuring smile. I smile and nod.

We walk into the living room and I hear a, "they're here" echoing the house. We get there and I stood there in shock. There were so many people there, I was seriously overwhelmed. "Mom." I hear Killian say and this beautiful and sophisticated lady comes out from the crowd and hugs him. I smile and she goes and hugs me. "Emma its so good to finally meet you." I smile and stay quiet. "Oh come on don't be shy, I know that this is not one of those high end fashion things you're used to but I hope that you will enjoy your stay here in our humble home." I smile. "I'm sure I will love it here." She hugs me again and smiles. "Oh you sure have good taste son, Emma is so beautiful and sophisticated." Killian's mother says to him. I blush and he laughs.

"So its true that Killian is your intern Emma?" I hear someone in the back of the group say. "Oh shut it Kyle." Killian says. "Who's that?" I whisper to Killian. The man walks up to me and I could see some similar features like the ones Killian had, he grabs my hand and gives it a kiss. "Killian's older brother and eldest child of the Jones home, Kyle at your service future sister-in-law." Killian pushes his hand away and scoffs. "Yes love this is my dearest eldest brother Kyle." "Nice to meet you." I say and nod.

"So it is true that you are Emma's intern well assistant?" His mother asks. I stay quiet and this young lady comes out. "Hi there I'm Daisy youngest daughter of the Jones but still older than Killian." I stayed quiet and she continued. "Of course he is mother, haven't you seen the magazines?" She pulls one out and shows everyone our picture that was taken during one of our fashion shows. Killian scoffs. "Ok, everyone yes Emma is my boss and I am her intern but we fell in love and this doesn't interfere with what we have." He says as he hugs me. I kept hearing people from the crowd say various things like, "that's right you control him or show him who's in charge, he fell for the boss, typical boss and secretary story."

"Ok, we are very tired from our trip so we would like to get settled in our room." Killian says. "Where do I sleep?" I ask and everyone gives me an awkward look. Oh shoot that's right I'm engaged, I totally forgot. I look at Killian and half smiled. "Oops." I mouthed and he laughs. "Oh its just that since Emma and I aren't married she doesn't think its appropriate for us to sleep in the same room or on the same bed." Killian says nervously. "Oh how nice dear but look here you will have our guest room and you mustn't be so coy, you and Killian can sleep in the same room I mean you will eventually sleep together right?" I was so nervous I seriously didn't know how to respond. I nod and grinned. I give Killian a weird and he laughs.

We walk up stairs and the bedroom was huge, it looked like a master suite at the famous Hotels in Hollywood. "Do freshen yourselves up, see you all at brunch in the garden area and we will present you officially to our family." "That wasn't the entire family?" I say and she smiles. "Honey that was only our immediate family." I hesitantly smile and she laughs and closes the door. Killian quickly goes and locks it. "I'm so sorry Killian, I just we can't sleep in the same room, I mean come on you know how I am and plus we aren't anything more than just an intern and a boss." Killian scoffs as he puts the suitcase on the couch. "So that's what we are?" I closed my eyes and sighed. "No I didn't mean it that way, I just I'm sorry I'm just it's hard for me to act this way, I mean I just, forget it I'm sorry." He just nods. "Its ok, I'll go to my old room and change in there and you can change in here."

He then walks out and closes the door. I sat down on the bed and couldn't help but feel bad for the way I spoke to him. I mean his family loves him and I don't know if he truly loves me but I'm too scared to open up completely and usually when I feel this scared is when I put up that cold and heartless mean boss act. I've done it with Killian several times but here I can't do that. I get my suitcase and I lay out my clothes and I go and take a shower. After a nice and cold refreshing shower, I go and put my clothes on.

All of a sudden I hear laughter, I open the window and its Killian playing with all the little ones. Oh gosh he's perfect, my was I more attracted to him than ever before. I just can't with this, I seriously wish I was back at the institute. Oh wait, Neal is there why would I want to go back? Ah my life is a mess, see it's a lot better when the idea of love isn't in my life. I walked up to the mirror and I blow dry my hair for a minute and let my natural wavy hair take over.

I walk down stairs and I'm greeted by a tall man, very sophisticated yet calm. I didn't see him earlier with the family. "You must be Emma." He asks. I nod. "Yes, and you are?" I say. "I'm Brennan, Killian's father." He says with a smile. "Pleased to meet you sir." I say. "You must allow me to walk you down to the garden space to have brunch." I smile and nod. We started to walk to the garden and I was nervous as can be. "You know I didn't think Killian was going to end up with a woman like you?" I gave him a confused look. What did he mean like me?  "A woman like me?"

"I mean a person that's so in the spotlight you know, you are a Fashion Designer, you work for FA institute and you are always so busy and well here we just love our little island and we are so calm you know." I smile and nod. "You expected him to fall in love with a Hawaiian native woman." He laughed and nodded. "Ah yes but if my son picked you to spend the rest of his life with then that means he is completely in love with you and I will respect that decision." I couldn't help but smile when he said that. I smiled and nodded.

"Emma do you love Killian as much as he loves you?" He asks. I start to panic. I was about to say yes and that's when Killian comes running towards me. "Ah there you are love." He says and he hugs me. "Hi dad." He says. "Son." Brennan says as he lifts his cup of coffee in the air. "Thank you Brennan for escorting me here." I say and he smiles. "Oh no problem sweetie." I nod.

We walk towards the garden and that's when we hear clapping as we walked in. "Congrats on your engagement, Emma and Killian." I read on a banner. I smiled nervously. "Yes just smile love, we will get through this." He whispers to me. I nod and he grabs my hand. We walked down to say hello to everyone.
