Storybrooke had been hit with an unusual heat wave that seemed to have kept most people indoors.
"How did we survive with air conditioning?" Red asked.
"We didn't know about it," Granny responded.
"Remind me to thank Regina next time I see her then," Red said putting a glass of ice tea down in front of Emma. She then leaned in, "or maybe our sheriff can pass on my thanks."
Emma gave her a look of silence. Red was one of only a few people who knew she and Regina had been seeing each other. And she had only found out a couple of days ago. She thought back to that night.
She had met Regina at the municipal pool. She had quickly learned that Regina had an adventurous side when it came to sex and the pool after hours was on a growing list of different places they had visited.
Emma had been running a little behind so when she got there Regina was actually swimming. She had quickly stripped down to join her thinking the water would feel great after sweating in her car while on patrol that day. She sat down on the edge of the pool her feet in the water. Regina swam up to her moving right between her legs.
"Sheriff, I do believe I told you we would be going swimming tonight."
"I know that is why I am here."
"So where is your bathing suit?"
"Don't have one. Besides why put one on when you will only be taking it off?"
"Good point," Regina said and she pulled her into the water with her. Emma wrapped her arms around Regina's neck to pull her in for a kiss. "Let's get you out of your suit," she said in between kisses.
There was more kissing and touching before she managed to pull off the top of the bikini when they both heard the noise of a door opening and shutting.
"That was the outer door," Regina said.
"Shit," Emma cursed and she swam and got out, pulling on her clothes. "Stay here, I will get whoever it is to leave."
She got to the door just as Red came in. "Emma, what are you doing here?"
"Checking on a report of a possible break in?"
"Is that so? Then why are you wet?"
"Um, well I was just checking that no one was in the water."
"How thorough of you," Red said smiling. "I was going to go for a dip myself to stave off this heat, but I see the place is occupied, so I will just go."
She turned to leave.
"Oh and Emma, when I asked why you were wet, I wasn't referring to the water. Wolf's senses you know. And next time, tell Regina not to park her car so close to the rec center if you two are trying to be incognito."
She left and Emma turned toward the pool.
"I swear I didn't tell her," Emma said as Regina fixed her with a look.
