Chapter 3 - Stop The Wind and Let The Flower Bloom

With Aunt Julia on a date with Paton Yewbeam again, Emma was alone in the bookshop.

Just as she was climbing down the step-ladder, from shelving books, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Emma answered,

"Em...Can you come meet me now?" a husky voice on the other end whispered.

Emma froze. Biting her lip, she answered.

"Talk to Lysander if you have problems, Tancred."

"He's on a date with Lauren. Please?" the storm-boy seemed desperate.

Emma hesitated then sighed.

"Alright. Where?"

"On the cathedral steps."

"Okay"

Emma put the phone down. Taking a deep breath, she went into the sitting room to get her coat.

Tancred was wearing jeans and a warm coat, even so he was cold. The cathedral clock chimed five times. 5 o'clock. Where was she?

Just as the thought came to mind, he saw her. Her hair was tied in a single ponytail; jeans, a warm coat and a thick woollen blue scarf around her neck kept her warm.

Tancred breathed hot air on his fingers as she approached.

"You had better have a good reason for this, Tancred." was the first thing she said. Tancred gave her a grim smile.

"I...I broke up with Tracy," he said. She didn't flinch. She just kept staring ahead, standing beside him.

"So?" she said after some time. Tancred was surprised.

"Don't you care?" he questioned.

"Not particularly." she replied. No one spoke for sometime.

"Though I am wondering why,' she said.

"Because," Tancred said, nervousness creeping up into his throat, "I found out that I wasn't in love with Tracy from the start. There was someone else."

"Really? So who is this 'someone else'?" Either Emma really didn't care or she was concealing her curiosity.

Tancred took a few deep breaths.

"You."

Time seemed to freeze. Emma, wide-eyed, just stared at him. Yet, he couldn't move either. He was lost in the moment, staring at her eyes.

Finally the gentle breeze snapped them out of their daze.

"Um..." Emma bit her lip; Tancred continued to stare at her.

"I - I have to get back to the shop, otherwise Auntie will worry..." she trailed off.

"Y-Yeah..." Tancred answered, embarrassed. He turned his gaze down to the stone steps below him.

Suddenly Emma's lips were on his cheek. By the time he lifted his head, she was back where was before. She gave him a gentle smile.

"See you on Monday, Tancred,' Emma said smiling.

Tancred smiled in return and watched her walk out of view. Then he walked home, the secret smile remaining on his lips.

ShadowRose18: you just gotta have the happy ending right? (laughs)

Overall, I pretty proud of Bittersweet, thought he third chapter didn't turn out the way I expected (I originally had her not accepting him and stuff, but then I was like: NOOOO!! Em wouldn't do that!!!) So, yeah. This is how it ended up, and I'm leaving it at that.

And hip hip hooray! I have another story completed :D

Now, I'm gonna type up the CharlieOlivia oneshot and the TancredEmma stories XD

Bye bye! And please review!
