"Dammit!" Emma yelled frustrated.
Mary Margret smiled as she won the game, for the third time in a row. "Maybe playing scrabble against an English major isn't the best idea..."
"I guess not. But someone is going to beat you someday and I hope I am there to see it." Emma joked as they picked up the game and sat down on the couch, joining their friends and the bottles of wine calling their names.
"Finally gave up Em? You are never going to beat her at that game." Rudy said passing her the bottle of wine.
"You should stick to Clue! or jenga." Regina joked, causing Emma to thump the back of her head as she laughed.
There was nothing that Emma enjoyed more than Thursday nights, girls night. It was hers and Regina's turn to host. Being assigned as room mates their freshman year at Boston State College was one of the best things to happen to the girls, and now they were seniors and closer than they could have imagined.
Regina sighed as she checked her phone for the tenth time in the past minute.
"Nothing yet?" Ruby asked, sincerity in her voice, causing Mary Margret and herself look at Regina who was still staring down at her phone.
Regina has been talking to this guy, Robin, for the past month. She's never been one to be guy crazy and always put school first, then work, then her social life. She noticed Regina change over the past two weeks, she seemed happier, less uptight. She loved seeing one of her best friends happy, but she had been so distracted that night with waiting for a message, that they could all sense that something was up.
Finally snapping out of the trance her phone had her on, Regina shook her head, "no." There was a sadness in her voice, sadness and annoyance.
"I'm sure there is a good reason why he hasn't texted you today. The guy seems to like you a lot and if he hasn't talked to you, it must be for good reasons." Mary Margret said with such hope in her tone and a consoling smile.
"Easy for you to say, your love life is so perfect that fairytale characters are jealous," Regina replied jealously. And she was right, Emma had known Mary Margret for years, ten to be exact, and five of those years she had been with the same charming guy, David. They were so in love, so happy, so perfect together. Everyone of them were jealous of their relationship.
"Hey, just 'cause she and David have mad love for each other, doesn't mean you can't too." Ruby replied with a sassy tone. "What if he has been studying or his phone got cut off?"
"Guys, it's girls night. Girl's night is not a time to be sad and mopey. Regina, take a shot with me and that will make you feel better. Let's have some fun!" Emma finally blurted out when she felt the mood get droopy. She never really cared for guy drama, wasn't so clingy as her other friends with their boyfriends, but still loved being with her boyfriend when they could. Her and Walsh had been together for a little over seven months now, which was her longest relationship to date. "Let's see what kinead of trouble we can get into this week?" She had a sinister smile, like she wanted to beat last week's girls night's "incident".
"I'm not trying to get arrested Emma" Mary Margret, the good two shoes of the group said, "David still wont let go of the little fiasco with the cops last week."
"C'mon guys, we were let off with a warning, no big deal. Not like we are going to get arrested." Ruby laughed, joining Emma, their mischievous brains clicking together.
Emma and Ruby were the trouble makers, the more adventurous souls of the group. Emma standing up, shot glass in hand, looks at the girls proudly, "Cheers! To a great night!"
Regina joins her toast, "To working for what we want, whatever it takes." she said, finally smiling for the night.
"To new adventures!" Ruby jumped up with such a big smile, the girls couldn't help but smile also.
They stared at Mary Margret, until she finally got up, "To hopeful days and our friendship."
The girls are all laughing after their shots when Regina's phone rings. "its him!" she yelps.
"Be cool and answer!" Ruby throws her her phone for her to answer.
" Hey, uhh, sup?" She regretting her choice of words right after.
"Hey I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you today, I lent my buddy my phone at the gym, and it must have fallen into his bag." Regina let out a sigh of relief as the girls tried to listen in in the conversation. "Do you have any plans for the night?"
"Actually, Thursdays are girls night.. Why do you ask?" she asked slyly, knowing he wanted to see her.
"My buddy and I are throwing a last minute party, I was hoping you would grace me with your presence. I have been thinking about your beautiful smile all day."
Regina blushed, causing the girls to do a silent "awe"and Emma teased her with a smile and joking hair flip. Regina didn't know what to say, and stayed quiet and still and could only let out a "uhhmmm.."
Emma snatched the phone, "Hey Robin, it's Emma, Regina's friend. Will there be drinks and are we invited too?"
"Ah Emma! I've heard a lot about you. Of course you are all invited, the more the merrier! Feel free to bring friends as well if you like." Robin said, happy to hear his girl's friend be intrigued by the idea. Anything to see Regina made him happier than anything else.
"We'll be there Robin, heres Regina again."
Regina snatched the phone grinning, thanking her friend for being okay to go to a party on their girls night. She walked to the kitchen to have more privacy to talk.
"Looks like Emma found our adventure for the night," Ruby said happily looking at Mary Margret. "You can even tell David to join us, just so he won't worry about us getting sent to prison."
Mary Margret and Emma then texts their boyfriends the address Regina had gotten and told them to meet them there.
"Let's get ready, the hotter the better." Ruby said, as they ran to Regina's room to raid her closet and then Emma's.
