Life Never goes as Planned

Old Habits

Today's the day that we go talk to the institute and share our ideas and see if an arrangement can be done. Yeah even though we faked the idea we were able to schedule a meeting with them. We walk into the institute and I feel like I'm in my atmosphere, my home, every time I would feel scared I would just focus on my work. I felt like I was back in my element.

The Lead Fashion Designer comes up to us and grabs my hand and kisses it. "So good to finally meet you Emma Swan, Aloha and welcome to our humble state and institute, my name is Graham, and I am at your service." Killian didn't look too pleased. I smiled. "Pleased to meet you meet you, this is my fian-, I mean my intern Killian Jones." Graham shakes his hand and they give each other a dirty look.

"Graham I would love if you would show me around your lovely institute." He lets go of Killian's grasp and smiles. "Oh yes my lovely lady, I will be more than happy to show you and your intern around." I smile and we walked away. He showed us the entire institute and my was it lovely. We get to his office and Killian and I sit down. "I really love your designs especially the ones for your recent collection, Aloha Family, an incredible name for the collection." I say with a smile and he smiles.

"How about we promote your designs in our summer community gala?" I ask him. He smiles. "Wow, I mean I would be honored if my designs were promoted and in California but I would have to talk things over with the promoter." I nod. He calls him and he steps out of the office to go and talk to him on the phone.

I look over at Killian and he's just sitting there emotionless. "What's wrong?" He clenches his jaw. "Nothing boss." He says not making eye contact with me. I sigh. I think he's just mad because that Emma, the mean and bossy Emma comes back when I'm in this environment and well she's here now. Graham then walks back in. "Ok, so is there a contract that we will sign for this business transaction?"

Killian pulls out the contract and they both start talking numbers and such. I was so distracted with how Killian was feeling, that my mind couldn't comprehend anything. I mean he has no right to act like that we are nothing just a boss and an intern, right? "Emma ready to sign?" I hear but I don't move a muscle. "Emma, Emma." Nothing, I'm still zoned out.

"LOVE!" Killian and Graham both said. I jumped. "What?" I screamed. "Love if you would be so kind as to sign the contract so we can get this show on the road." Graham says and winks. I smile. "Oh yes, sorry where do I sign?" and I sign and we all get up and he shakes my hand. "I'm so happy that we get to work with FA institute." I smile and nod. Killian and Graham shake hands and we walk out.

We walked to the car and the car ride back to his house was super quiet and awkward. We park and he sat there quietly. "What's wrong Killian?" He sighs. "Nothing." He replied. I tried to grab his hand and he pulled his hand away. I scoff. "I don't understand why you're acting like this?" I say as I sat back on the seat. "I'm sorry, it was a mistake for us to come here, I forgot how you are when you are in your element and I can tell I have no place in your heart." I sat there shocked. "I'm sorry that I made you come don't worry we will leave tomorrow and thanks for faking being my fiancée and pretending to love me."

He smiles at me and caresses my face. He lets go. "But I do love you Killian." I say but he had already closed the car door and left. I sat there thinking about what he said. I couldn't help but think that I do love him. I hated myself, it's always a constant battle between what my mind is saying and what my heart is feeling. I just hate myself because I'm so scared to feel this way. That's why I'm always so cold hearted and harsh when I'm at work. He doesn't deserve this.
