I turned off the car
Ran through the yard
Back to your front door
Before I could knock
You turned the lock
And met me on the front porch
And I kissed you
Goodnight
And now that I've kissed you
It's a good night good night baby goodnight
"Mister Nolan?" Regina asked as David walked down the street. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you, I was just heading home from work and I saw you. Are you lost?"
David smiled kindly holding up the map. "Well, kinda. I'm looking for the toll bridge."
Regina nodded. "Where you were found. Trying to jog your memory?"
David grinned broadly thinking of Mary Margaret. "Something like that yeah."
"That's wonderful. Well turn around, go down past Granny's, take a right, you'll be there in no time," she replied smiling, happy that David was going to go back to Kathryn.
"Thank you so much Madam Mayor." David turned and ran off.
"I hope you remember something Mister Nolan," she called after him.
Mary Margaret looked up at the moon and sighed. David was twenty minutes late, he wasn't coming…
"You came?" a voice asked in shock.
Mary turned around and smiled at David's grin. "David! You sound surprised…What's wrong?" she asked.
David ran to her and picked her up, spinning her around. "Nothing's wrong I just can't believe you actually came." He laughed as he set her down and took her hand.
"Well, I did. So what does this mean for us?" she asked looking into his eyes.
"I…don't know. I can't straight up leave Kathryn, I don't want you getting hurt Mary Margaret."
Mary smiled at him. "I understand, you want to do the honorable thing David. But we can't go around pretending we don't have feelings for each other when obviously we do."
"I know. And we won't have to, not for long. It's just there was this life I had before us and I must've had these feelings for Kathryn that I have for you." Mary Margaret's face dropped and she sighed. David put a hand to her chin and lifted it up. "Hey, look at me. I don't have those feelings for her anymore. I already told you, you're the only thing that makes any amount of sense in this crazy life I have. I want to be with you Mary Margaret."
Mary felt tears form in her eyes. "I feel the same way…" she whispered.
David pulled her close. "We are going to make it through this Mary, together."
Mary looked up at him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "I know."
They stood in silence for a moment. Mary pulled away. "I should probably get going…Emma and stuff…"
"Oh yeah," David said sticking his hands in his pockets. "Me too. Guess I have to get back to Kathryn and…yeah…So I guess I'll see you around."
Mary Margaret nodded. "Yeah I mean you've got your wife and all but I'll see you around town."
"Alright, well see you later. Goodnight Mary Margaret," David told her and turned to leave.
Mary stared longingly at him. "Goodnight David." She turned around and started to walk off.
David sat in his truck outside of Mary Margaret's apartment complex. He'd told Kathryn he wanted to go get a breath of air, clear his head. When really all he wanted to do was see Mary Margaret again. He'd left the toll bridge ten minutes ago and he was kicking himself for not kissing her. He had the radio playing softly on a country station. The lyrics stuck in his mind.
I turned off the car
Ran through the yard
Back to your front door
I'm scared to death, can't catch my breath
Oh these moments we live for…
And I kissed you goodnight,
And now that I've kissed you
It's a good night, good night, baby a good night
It's a good night, good night, baby a good night
It's a good night, good night, baby a good night
It's a good night, good night, baby a good night.
David turned off his truck and jumped out of the car. He ran through the yard, inside, up the stairs, and to her door. He knocked on the door and his leg was shaking. All he wanted to do was kiss Mary Margaret and never stop kissing her.
The door opened to reveal Emma. "David, hi? Is there something I can help you with?" she asked.
"Uh yeah is Mary Margaret here? I need to um…talk to her," he said stumbling through his words.
"Yeah sure, do you want to come in?" Emma offered.
"No that's fine. I just really need to talk to her. Please?"
"Okay…" Emma replied skeptically. "Mary Margaret!" she called behind her. "David's here!"
There was a crash in the kitchen. "I'll be right there!" she called. Ten seconds later, Mary Margaret appeared in the doorway. "David!" she exclaimed.
"I had to see you again…" he admitted.
"I'm gonna go…" Emma interrupted awkwardly, she walked into the kitchen.
Mary Margaret stepped outside and closed the door. "What's up?"
David couldn't contain himself any longer he took her face in his hands and pulled her towards him, crashing their lips together. He pushed her against the door and kissed her again and again, unable to stop.
Mary was doing the same. She couldn't believe that David had come to her home just because he wanted to kiss her. "David…Emma…kitchen…" she said between kisses.
David paused but only to say one thing: "I'd let Kathryn see this right now if it meant I never had to stop kissing you Mary Margaret."
Mary smiled, took his shirt collar in her hands, and pulled him back down to her.
Twenty minutes later, Mary Margaret walked back inside, as red as a tomato. As she closed the door, she sighed happily.
"Have a nice talk?" Emma teased, taking a bite of her ice cream.
"Emma! Did you…um…hear that?" she asked in embarrassment.
"Maybe a little bit," she replied smirking. "Oh calm down Mary! I'm not your mother, believe me it's not that big a deal. I'm happy for you. I just don't want you getting hurt is all."
Mary smiled as she sat down beside Emma. "David won't hurt me. I know that."
"Looks like you found your true love after all," Emma told her and nudged her friend.
"I wouldn't call it that yet. More like an infatuation." Mary looked down at her lap blushing.
"Oh okay," Emma said sarcastically. "Well your night's been better than mine."
"What happened?"
"Well let's just say that Graham working at the animal shelter is a load of crap…"
"Emma, you can tell me," Mary told her and touched her arm gently.
"He's sleeping with her. With my son in the house." Emma clenched her hands into fists. "I can't stand it!"
"Oh Emma, I'm so sorry." Mary took Emma's hand. "It's gonna be okay. I promise."
Emma let Mary's hand linger for a moment before pulling back. "I'm gonna go to bed. I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight Emma."
"Night Mary Margaret. Oh and thank you," Emma added before walking down the hall into her room.
"You're welcome," Mary whispered, as she reached up and touched her lips where David's kiss lingered.
