Emily removed the blazer Patrick placed on her shoulder and gave it back to him, "Thank you but I don't need this and…"

'Thanks for bothering yourself to come here and check on me' she wanted to add but she decided against it.

​​

Patrick ignored her and didn't take the blazer back and continued smoking as if he didn't hear her words.

Emily had the urge to ask him, why was he here? Why did he follow her? Does he want to talk about something to her? Did he realize she left because she felt jealous? Did he come here for her? Does he still care for her? Does he still love her? She had so many questions to ask but she couldn't bring herself to ask them. She wanted to stand there and keep staring at him but that would make her feel even more petty than she is already feeling.

Emily decided to ignore him and her thoughts and decided to head inside the bar, she put her hand on the door knob to open it.

Just then Patrick carelessly threw the cigarette in the bin, he quickly went towards her, held her wrist and pulled her towards him, the next moment he pinned her against the wall. His left hand was on her shoulder to hold her in place and the right one on her waist.

"What the hell are…" Emily spoke but the next moment he placed his finger on her lips and continued holding her shoulder.

"Shhh. I'll talk and you'll listen" He then rubbed his thumb softly along her bottom lip.

This action of his made her heart beat faster, the heat dissipated in her body few minutes ago was back, she felt hot.

Rubbing his finger along her plump lip, Patrick thought, 'I really miss them'. He knew he can't keep on enjoying the feel of her lips on his finger and need to say what he is here for so he got a hold of himself and started explaining.

"Rachel is like my younger sister, I never had and will never have any other feelings for her, don't overthink and don't let unnecessary thoughts dominate your mind. I came with Rachel because she was feeling lazy to drive and her home was on my way to this bar. She went through some difficulties again and she is probably still going through it, there are some things that happened in the past few months for which she needs help, I am a cop and therefore she approached me with her problems and I'll do my best to protect her and sort that issue, it is my responsibility as her friend and as a cop." When Kate teased them and he looked at Emily, although she looked indifferent to others, he could still see through her and he saw the discomfort she felt. He smiled sensing her jealousy but when Rachel whispered something to him and Emily left he knew he has to clear the misunderstanding or else Emily won't be able to live in peace. He knew her for more than 13 years, he knows what she thinks and how she would react in certain scenarios. He knew her inside out. He didn't want to explain the entire Rachel's coma and attack situation as it was up to Rachel if she wants to share it with others or not so he didn't go much in detail.

After Patrick explained himself, he leaned even more closer to her, he removed his finger from her lips and held her waist again. His face was very close to hers and there was very little gap between their lips.

"Am I clear?" Patrick slowly asked against her lips, if she moved even a bit their lips would touch, so she was careful to not move.

Her heart was beating very fast, since he started rubbing her lips with his finger she felt like her mind stopped functioning.

But when she heard his explanation, at one hand she felt thankful to him for clearing the misunderstanding and on the other hand she felt uncomfortable by being seen through so transparently.

When he asked if he was clear, she nodded at him.

He chuckled and moved back. His purpose to visit her on this balcony was done and he decided to head back towards the bar and his hand held the door knob.

Emily felt like she was losing him when she saw him leaving and reflexively she dropped the blazer she was holding, grabbed the collar of his T-shirt and pulled him towards her. The next moment she stood up on her toes and sealed his lips with hers.

Patrick was shocked with her move but he didn't push her away, he too was longing for her as much as she was for him. He let her take the lead in this kiss.

She softly sucked and nibbled on his lips, she then licked his lips and tried to enter his mouth, he gladly opened his mouth and let her tongue in. Her tongue entered in and explored his mouth. The familiar taste of his lips and his mouth was driving her crazy and she longed for more, her tongue found his and they got entangled with each other, his hands which were resting on his either side went around her waist and he pulled her closer eliminating the gap between them. His other hand moved to the back of her head to hold her properly in place, he continued to kiss her back, the soft and slow kiss then turned rough and passionate.

Then Patrick pulled himself away from the kiss to let her breathe. After she took a few breaths he again pulled her towards him and continued to kiss her. She slowly lost the strength in her legs and leaned more towards him, he was holding her tightly at the waist which stopped her from falling down. Her arms tightly wrapped around his shoulder as a support.

Suddenly the metal door of the balcony was opened, it startled Emily and Patrick and they looked at the person who just entered.

"So, you two are making out here"
