"A bet's a bet dearie" Rumple giggled, clapping his hands together giving Regina wicked grin.
"What! You tricked me!" Regina said narrowing her eyes on him.
"Nobody forced you to, now you either have to walk around town in your birthday suit or spend a whole day on an island with no magic with a person of my choosing." He smiled, rubbing his hands together.
"The choice is yours." Rumple said sounding like a game show host.
She thought for a moment, she wasn't ashamed of her body, she had been putting extra time perfecting it after a certain archer had arrived in town. But the thought that Henry or that pervert Hook might see her, made her feel sick.
"Fine, no magic it is." Rolling her eyes, she regretted it as soon as she vanished leaving behind a puff of purple smoke.
She opened her eyes, granted the island was very beautiful, plush trees on one side, and a body of water on the other, however the sun started to set. She started walking towards the trees, maybe I could build a shelter or something she thought to herself. She never had to do anything like this, she was a queen and queens shouldn't even need to think about this kind of thing. She wasn't that fond of nature either, trekking through a forest wasn't her cup of tea.
"Regina!" a voice called from behind, she slowly turned around hoping it wasn't the person she thought it was. But of course there he was, the man with the lion tattoo. He ran up to her giving her that signature grin that made her melt every time.
"What are you doing here thief." She rolled her eyes and continued to walk. Why couldn't it be someone else, anyone else she thought to herself. Hell she'd settle for the pirate.
"Well, Milady. I assume you and I both made a deal with Rumple, seeing that we both are here on the island and not running around naked on the streets."
"What was your bet with him?" she asked pretending not to care.
"That you would beat him in anything." He said confidently. She stopped for a moment and turned around meeting his beautiful eyes.
"So you lost." She said looking at the ground, he put one finger under her chin making her look into his eyes once again. He smiled and leaned closer to her, what is he doing? She thought to herself, is he going to kiss me? She closed her eyes, waiting for it to happen but it didn't. She felt his hand brush something off her shoulder, she let out a slow breath trying to redeem her composure.
"Well, Milady I do believe we should set up a camp and try to last till morning." He winked at her.
She looked at him, glancing at his wrist.
"Milady, why do you keep looking at my tattoo?" watching her eyes flick back to his.
"It's nothing, so anyways about that camp site." She said trying to change the subject.
"Milady you can tell me anything, I won't, how do they say it? Judge you."
She laughed. "Maybe, it's just something I don't want to get into right this second, okay"
"As you wish Milady." He hit her with his shoulder playfully. She laughed again, her laughter just made him smile exposing his deep dimples. Making her smile even more, she loved the way he looked at her when he smiled, she could just melt by just looking at him. To him she wasn't the evil queen, she was just Regina.
"You know, I'm glad you were the one who gets to be trapped on this island with me." She smiled at him.
"As am I Milady, you are truly beautiful." he grabbed her hand kissed it and continued to hold it as they disappeared into the forest.
