Unexpected Love

Mary Margaret Blanchard smiled up at her bedroom ceiling. Her date with David Nolan was romantic, but more surprising, as she didn't expect a picnic in the woods. The blanket unwrinkled, glasses filled halfway with wine and food neatly packed in a wooden basket. The kind of thing that she adored, surprises and a lovely view of nature. Simple. The afternoon sky was clear, only a few clouds overhead, with a bright sun, shining down on the earth, giving it a warm feeling upon the skin. To top it off, a kiss was shared that was so enticing that she never wanted to part away from. Yesterday's date was amazing and she couldn't wait for more to come.

Standing to her feet from her bed where she lays, she stretched; raising her arms to the ceiling, she sighed as she slowly lowered them back by her side. Only a few days away from summer vacation, she was ecstatic, yet reluctant of the idea of school closing. She loved teaching and being with her students. It made her feel like she was teaching them something that would make a real difference in the student's lives. There was also signing up for summer school, and then could teach all year round, except for other vacations that would follow suit.

She made her way to the bathroom, and turned on the water to the shower. Once it was the temper she could tolerate, she stepped in and began to cleanse herself. After finishing, she dried off and dressed in her usual attire and headed to the kitchen. Emma Swan was already at the dining room table, eating a banana and reading today's newspaper.

"Good morning, Emma." Mary Margaret chimed as she also grabbed herself a banana for breakfast. "Did you sleep well?"

"Morning. My night was alright." Emma flipped the front page of the paper, reading ahead to the next headline. "How was yours?"

A sly smile started to creep up upon her pale face. She couldn't help but think of her date with David. "It was alright." The brunette responded, trying not to sound gleeful as she peeled the yellow fruit. "Anything interesting happen lately?" She asked to change the subject.

"Nah. Same old, same old. Regina is always up to something." The blonde retorted, hearing the venom in the Mayor's name.

Mary Margaret knew that her roommate disliked the mayor, Regina Mills, very much. She herself wasn't too fond of the woman. The mayor did have an aura that wasn't pleasant, which made many of the townsfolk frightened by her, since she also had the power to people through hell. That seemed to be the woman's specialty.

Glancing at her silver watch that wrapped around her left wrist, the time passed by with ease as she hurriedly finished her banana, said goodbye to her friend and power walked to the school. She didn't like to be late, she was prompt at almost everything and that's the way she liked it.

The final bell rang, indicating school has ended for the day. Students hastily took hold of their belongings and quickly made their way out of their classes, through the halls and out to civilization. Henry Mills was the only student to take his time leaving. Mary straightened up her classroom. It was just like any others in the building, but hers left a pleasant atmosphere, giving her students a happy satisfaction. Once the room was up to par, she gathered her things and left to head home.

David Nolan's shift at the veterinary clinic was almost over. Today was a hectic day. People lined up with their pets to be treated. It seemed like a plague took over the animals in a single day. At the end of his shift, the crowds of people subsided to just a few. Luckily for him, that incident made time go faster as he kept busy all day. Clocking out, he made his way to his vehicle. Once he sat in the driver's seat, he placed his keys in the ignition and started it up. Thoughts of yesterday's activity with Mary Margaret popped up, making him smile with joy. A picnic in the woods was a way to go for Mary. It was a peaceful day with the lady he loved, well one of the lady's he loved. Remembering his wife Kathryn, he shook the thoughts out of his head and drove away from the clinic.

In the corner of his eye, a woman was walking on the sidewalk. Her back towards him, she was the only one that had his attention. As he drove closer to her, he could tell by the ensemble that she was wearing was none other than Mary Margaret Blanchard. Turning on his signal, he steered the wheel closer to the rim of the walkway. Slowing down his speed, he rolled down the passenger side window.

"Hey!" He shouted to get her attention. His voiced carried to her ears. Mary stopped in her tracks. That voice was familiar, comforting. She turned her head to see the man that made her happy. A smile formed upon her face as she took a few steps to the opened window.

"Hello David. How are you?" She asked, not dropping the smile. She couldn't help it; he always made her day more enjoyable.

David returned the smile. "I'm good. Can't stop thinking about you and our date and was wondering if you'd like to do it again tonight?"

Mary almost jumped with joy, but she kept herself in line and nodded. "I'd love to."

"How about six?" He placed the car in park. The brunette walked over to the driver's side, responsively David opened the window and she leaned in to kiss him. For one she couldn't help it, she liked the feel of his lips upon hers and secondly it's to confirm his question.

Unknowing to them, the Mayor was a witness to their little affair and she was not too fond of the situation.
