The Unexpected Response
Emma strolled into Granny's diner and sat in the corner near the window so she could see when Henry was going to arrive. "Hmm five minutes late this isn't like Regina." Ruby walked over and asked Emma "Do you want your usual?" It took Emma a moment to realise that she was being spoken to, "Huh? Oh sorry yeah thanks." Ruby then skipped over to the bar to get Emma her usual (hot chocolate with cinnamon). She then went back to staring out the window waiting for Regina and Henry to walk in.
Out in the car park Regina was getting prepared for another meeting with the woman who she was quickly developing feelings for. But she was afraid that she didn't return the feelings. She pulled down the sun visor down to check herself in the mirror. "Does my makeup and hair look alright? Is there anything on my blouse? Regina pull it together its only Emma." Regina grinned at the thought of seeing her again. Henry noticed his mom grinning and said "Mom? Are you okay? You have this huge grin on your face." Regina realised that Henry was watching and stopped; she then replied nervously "I'm fine Henry, let's go in and see Emma."
Regina got out of the car with her usual grace, smoothed her black skirt and removed a piece of lint from her grey silk blouse. She then held Henry's hand and braced herself for another meeting with her fantasy partner. Henry then pushed the door of the diner open and they both walked in. Emma got up from her chair and gave Henry a big smile and a huge hug followed by a "how are ya kid?" She greeted Regina with a formal hello and gestured for her to sit. Regina chose the chair furthest away from Emma because she wasn't sure if she could contain herself if she was any closer. She stared at Emma's long glossy blonde curls and her beautiful blue eyes. And thought to herself "God she is so fucking hot!" "I wonder what she is thinking." Emma noticed her looking and asked how work was. Regina and Emma chatted for a few minutes about work and then Regina realised she needed to fill out some important paperwork. Regina then excuses herself and tells Emma that Henry needs to be back in time for his appointment with Dr Hopper.
Regina then walked out of the diner and got into her car and took a huge sigh of relief. "God, I'm glad that's over. I need to find out what her sexuality is. Then maybe I could make my move." Emma drives Henry back to his house at 4:30 so he wouldn't be late for his appointment. Emma says her goodbyes and then drives home. Back at home she speaks to Mary-Margaret. "Mary-Margaret?" she asks. "Yeah?" "How do you know if somebody likes you?" "Well she replies... erm, that's a hard one. Flirting is an obvious one." "Hmm she hasn't done any of that maybe it's too discrete for me to notice?" "If they stare at you for long amounts of time, that could mean they are admiring you." "She has definitely done a lot of that." "Why do you ask?" "Oh no reason I was just curious." Emma lied. "Well I guess someone better start dinner" Mary-Margaret said. After dinner Emma had a bath and then had an early night.
The next day she got ready for work and drove out to the sheriff's station. She sat down to fill out some paperwork and then suddenly got a call, she answered in her usual response "Sheriff Swan speaking." "Swan its Regina I need you to come down to my house." Emma soon sat up at the thought of helping Regina and replied with "I'll be there right away Mayor Mills." Emma then got into her sheriff's car and started to drive towards Regina's which luckily wasn't too far away. Meanwhile Regina was back at her house making sure her hair and makeup was perfect ready for when she knocked. When right on cue, the sheriff knocked on the door. Regina welcomed her in and offered her a drink which Emma refused because she was driving. She then asked "Mayor Mills what is the problem that you rung about?" "Oh yes, some youths and trashed my garden with garbage and wrecked my bench, I was wondering if you could have a look and do an investigation into who could have done it?" Emma agreed and went into the garden to examine. The rubbish was pretty severe there was mouldy food all over the grass, wrappers everywhere and the bench was broken. Emma took some notes and photos and arranged for somebody to fix her bench and agreed to help Regina clean the rubbish up.
Regina went into the shed to get some litter picking tools and some garbage bags and handed some to Emma. They both set to work on clearing the rubbish. Regina was licking her lips at Emma bent over and thought to herself, "god Emma has a sexy ass, the things I would do to her." She grinned at the image of Emma naked. After about 2 hours the garden was cleared and Regina thanked Emma by giving her a hug. Emma didn't refuse "What perfume is that?" "Emma isn't letting go this is definitely a sign" After what seemed like an eternity they let go of each other and Emma got into her car to drive back to the sheriff's station. They both thought to themselves " I need to make my move."
