Emily's legs started trembling feeling the tension of the moment. Yesterday she had discussed this sort of moment with her friends and knew what to do next. Slowly she moved her face closer to the blonde's while she placed her free hand on his shoulder. She was now so close that she could feel his warm breath against her. Then everything stopped. The blue orbs didn't show his usual kindness instead they had grown small and were trying to hide his fear. Emily started panicking at the sight. What now? Nobody prepared her for a reaction like that. Continuing was obviously ruled out. He for some reason didn't want that. Not knowing what to do she completely started relying on her instincts. Beginning by breaking the contact she previously tried to keep. The now free hand was then placed on the still free shoulder pulling his body against hers in the tight embrace she had longed for earlier. The height difference between the two became clear as the top of her head brushed against his blushing red cheek. Her other hand in the meantime was being moved to the back of his head pushing him even closer. Nervous for the blond's reaction she tried to apologize in advance mumbling a few words in his shoulder that were completely lost in the void.Who knew how Cole would feel now. Was he perhaps going to run from her as she had so often in the past? Or even get mad at her for the unexpected move?
