Considering what they went through and the fact that, as you said, she is a smart A.I. (and a rampant one at that), I think it may be possible that she developed a close attachment towards the Chief. However, A.I.s, canonically-speaking, are diligent in performing their duties, which, in Cortana's case, meant sacrificing John if necessary, as stated in the Fall of Reach. I personally don't think it was anything more than a fond attachment, as everyone, even Cortana herself, knew what she was, and the consequential limitations of her being.
Yes, but being a smart AI, doesn't she have the choice to not obey orders? Correct me if im wrong, but I think Cortana is definetely able to love and have feelings. She even stated in the second mission that she was the only AI ever made from living tissue, witch I take as a clue from 343 that she does, in fact, love the Cheif.
