Day 2- Singing
Regina Mills had just entered the Rabbit Hole, as she needed a drink, really needed a drink. Robin's once dead wife had just returned, thanks to Emma Swan. It was two days ago that she had told Robin to forget about her if he wanted to save Marian. He had looked like that was the last thing he had wanted to do. It didn't matter now though, the old Regina would have killed Marian, the thought had entered her mind but she had changed it quickly. She couldn't believe that after finally opening herself up to someone, to the chance of love again, that it had only ended with her having a broken heart, again.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts as she sat down at the bar. She just wanted to drown her sorrows in her drinks tonight. Not thinking of Robin Hood for more than ten minutes.
"What can I do for you, your majesty?" the bartender asked.
"Whiskey, and keep the bottle handy," Regina said as he quickly poured her drink, she held it in her hand and shook it lightly.
Every thing was such a mess, Robin's ex...dead ex wife, showing up. Thank you Emma Swan, and now she was telling the man she loved to fall back in love with his former dead wife. Why were the fates always seemed to be kicking her when she was already down? Was Marian not showing up enough? Now she had to stand on the sidelines and watch him fall back in love with Marian. To watch Roland hold his mother's hand, and not hers. She missed her little knight, she missed those Hood men desperately. She knew she had done the right then, because now she was miserable.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, as part of our weekly karokee night, we wish to welcome you all to the Rabbit Hole tonight," a man called out as applause sounded.
"And with our first act, we have our very own Prince of Thieves, Robin Hood!" more applause sounded as Regina turned her head to see Robin standing on the stage, holding the microphone. His eyes were on hers, there was so much emotion in them as well as on his handsome face.
"I would like to dedicate this to my soulmate," Robin said as he started to sing.
I am nothing without love
I'm but a ship stuck in the sand
Some would say that I'm all alone
But I am, I'm nothing without love
I wanna hold her in my arms
But she feeling low she feeling sad
I would take credit for what's wrong
But I am, I'm nothing without love
Three years at sea after the storm
On this sinking ship that love had put me on
God I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home
But I, I got nowhere to go
Now here you show up with the force of a wave
And so I'm setting my sail, I'm headed for the empire state
Hey hey lord, I don't want to lose this one, she make me feel whole
You know I am, I am nothing without love
Oh baby show me a sign
Send up a signal, that everything's fine
Come on slide up right here by my side
You know that I, I want to rest in your light
His eyes were on her the whole time as he was singing to her, the words were getting to her, damnit. He was asking her to forgive him! But could she? Could she just forget all the pain and sadness she had gone through because of him?
But looking at him, how could she not? She loved him, but she had never told him in so many words. He had told her that the reason why the kiss with Marian had not worked was because he was in love with someone else, her!
Once he finished, he looked at her for a few more moments. He started to make his way to her table, when she took a drink of her whiskey and made her way to the stage, before she lost her courage. She grabbed the microphone and started to sing.
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out!
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo...
Halo, ooh ooh...
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget to pull me back to the ground again
And it's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out!
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
Robin stood there and watched her the whole time, never breaking eye contact with her. She stared at him for several seconds, before quickly getting off the stage and walked right up to him. Neither said a word right then, they didn't have to though, their expressions said it all for them.
"I'm not giving up on you, ever," Robin swore to her.
"You still have to save her, she's Roland's mother and she's been giving a second chance at life, at having her family back together again," Regina reminded him gently, even if she lost everything because of it.
"I'm grateful that she's alive, she was my life at one time. Her and Roland," Robin said. "But you're a huge part of my life as well, and I don't intend to loose you, Regina. Ever."
"But if you're with me, then you can't save her," Regina reminded him again.
"I have to follow my heart, I know that together we can figure out a way to help her, especially you," Robin said.
And like their first kiss, Regina grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him in for a kiss. He kissed her back, hard. The others in the bar, seemed to know that these two were in love. They also knew that Regina was trying to find a way to save Marian, but they also respected that when you're in love, you're in love. And more importantly...
The heart wants what it wants...
