Hope you'll enjoy it!

It wasn't a relatively big apartment. The old pipes a squeaking and the floor are creaking loudly, but according to the four girls living there, it was cozy and homey. At first it was only Emma living there, but when she couldn't afford it alone, Regina came along. She wanted to get away from her parents, so Emma was a good solution. It was a funny friendship. They were different in many ways, but something kept them together. Suddenly Ruby was living there also. She was dead tired of living with her grandmother and either way; spend almost all her time at their place, so a joke from Emma and Ruby was living there. Belle just recently moved in, so now four girls were occupying this small apartment, but it worked for them.

"God, Emma! Could you, possibly learn to pick up your clothes someday?!" A shrill voice sounded through the apartment. Emma covered in shock and almost dropped her spoon. Into the kitchen, stepped a classy young lady, dressed in her tight skirt black skirt and a matching blazer. She held up a pair of jeans as she glared at Emma.

"Swwry" Emma mumbled around a mouthful of cereal before something hit her on the back of her head. She swallowed quickly. "Jeez, Regina, relax" Emma held her bowl as it was almost spilled on the table. Nobody messes with her food.

"Relax? It's the fifth time this week, I've slipped in your clothes and you do nothing!" Regina spoke and crossed her arms.

"I'll pick it up after this" Emma said and kept eating. Regina huffed.

"You always say that. How about doing something about it?"

"If I always say that, how come you keep telling me these things if you already know the answer?" Emma smirked and looked up at her with a glint in her eyes.

"You're so frustrating!" Regina yelled. "I'll go to work!" She whirled around the stomped out of the kitchen. Moments after there were a hard slam from the door. Emma grinned and looked back to see Belle's scolding face.

"Em,why don't you just clean up after yourself?" Emma shrugged.

"I like how she reacts" Belle rolled her eyes.

"You're like a child" Belle stood up and put her plate in the sink. "Be a good friend and pick up your clothes. For the sake of all of us" Emma finished her bowl.

"Yes mom" She said playfully and earned herself another eye roll from Belle. "Is Ruby awake?" Belle shook her head.

"No, she came home late and pretty drunk. I don't think she'll be with the living for a few more hours"

Emma chuckled and put away the bowl she had used. "She'll never learn. Well I better get going, or I'll be late" She put on her jacket and looked for her keys. She always managed to lose her things. Maybe she should clean up once in a while.

"Are you going to be here for movie night?" Belle asked.

"I can't. I promised Killian I would be there for his first show" Emma said while she looked behind a cushion. Belle looked at the kitchen table and picked up Emma's keys. She held up the item with a smile and dangled it for Emma to hear. Emma turned around and grabbed them. "Thanks"

"You haven't been here for movie night three times"

"I know, but it's really important for him" Belle rolled her eyes. Killian was one of a kind, but not in the good way. Emma just couldn't see that and pretty much everyone else could. "Next time, I promise" Emma said as she walked out the apartment and down the stairs. It was a cold morning and the rain was pouring down like always. Emma wrapped her jacket closer to her body and ran the short distance to her bug. Usually she would walk to the diner, since it wasn't that long, but she didn't feel like getting all wet and cold. Twenty minutes later she stepped into the diner and shook of the rain.

"About time, Swan. Jim's in a foul mood" Jane said as she walked past her with her hands full. Emma rolled her eyes.

"When he's not?" She muttered and walked behind the counter to grab her apron. She hated working here, but it wasn't like she had any choice at the moment. She had just put on her apron when a voice sounded from the office.

"Swan! Get your ass in here" She sighed and walked into the small room next to the kitchen, where a big man with sleazy hair and a too tight shirt, sat on his chair, trying to look like the big boss he thought he was. The real owner was a nice old lady living in Florida. She couldn't let go of the diner, her and her husband opened back in the 60's, so she gave her nephew the lead, to the dread of the staff.

"Yes?"

"I got a few complaints about you last night" He looked up "Again. Care to tell me why this time?" He asked in an annoying superior voice as he leaned back in his chair. The chair creaked loudly and Emma feared it would crack under the man's weight.

"One complain and I just told the slimy old dude a piece of my mind" Emma crossed her arms, infuriated about the situation.

"He said that you just verbally attacked him for no reason. He was just enjoying his coffee when you 'went berserk' as he said" Emma couldn't believe what she was told. She was fuming and tried to control her anger. Losing her temper at her boss wasn't a good thing.

"For no reason? Seriously? He and his slimy hands groped Amanda, Ruby and I, even after we constantly told him to stop. If you don't believe me, then ask them. I'm sure they'll tell you the same" Jim looked at her with a skeptical look. "I'm not lying" Jim sighed and rubbed his chin.

"Alright, but I don't want any more complaints about you, Swan. Now, get to work" Emma nodded and turned around and walked out to the desk to get her notepad. She caught Jane's eyes and she smiled apologetically. Emma shrugged and went to a table to ask them for their orders. The morning went fairly quickly and Emma had a break before the lunch rush came. She found her phone and found a message from Regina.

'Belle told me you weren't home for movie night?' Emma sighed and typed her back.

'Sorry. I have a date with Killian. Btw sorry about this morning, I promise I'll clean up when I get home' Emma took a sip of her water and waited for response that never came. She knew Regina was disappointed and she also knew her friends weren't particular fond of her boyfriend, but he was a nice guy. She stood up and went back to the diner, just as the lunch rush started. At the other end of the city, Regina was plowing through documents after documents, to make the deadline. Her desk was filled with papers and old folders and she could barely see her desk.

"Are you ready for lunch?" Kathryn asked she peeked over the wall to Regina's cubicle. When she didn't get a response she tried again. "Regina?"

"What?" She answered tiredly and looked up at Kathryn.

"Lunch?" Regina looked at the clock and let out small groan. She slipped off her glasses and rubbed her eyes.

"I don't have the time" Kathryn sighed and rolled her eyes as she went around and into Regina's cubicle.

"Regina, you have to eat and you have been sitting there the last four hours with your nose stuck in those papers. They aren't going to run away because you take a thirty minute break. So, let's go!" Regina barely managed to snatch up her purse and phone before Kathryn grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the office. She was kind of relieved by the forced break, but being who she was, she wouldn't tell Kathryn that, so she just followed her into the café next door. They ordered and sat down at a table in the corner. Regina had sent a text to Emma, and the reply wasn't what she had hoped for. It wasn't like she was angry at her anymore, more disappointed that they wouldn't all be together this evening again.

"So, have you noticed the new guy yet?" Kathryn asked and took a bite of her sandwich.

"You mean Robin?" Kathryn nodded "Yes, I've noticed. He keeps leering at me at any chance he's got. Annoying and highly inappropriate if you ask me" Kathryn chuckled.

"You should talk to him" Regina frowned.

"Didn't you just hear what I said? Creepy isn't exactly my type"

"Maybe he's shy. You are kind of intimidating to approach" Regina shook her head. She knew this and people weren't as secretly as they thought. She knew they talked about her frequently and she was nicknamed the Evil Queen by her colleagues. She couldn't understand what was wrong by working hard and rising through the ranks in the firm. She didn't want to sit in that cubicle for the rest of her life.

"-don't you think?" Kathryn said as she finished her food. Regina looked at her with a blank expression. Kathryn sighed and shook her head "You didn't hear a single word I just said, did you?" Regina shook her head apologetically. "I told you about our decision about getting married back in Storybrooke. Frederick loves it there and its home, you know"

"That sounds like a lovely idea. When do you have in mind?"

"We have talked about a spring wedding. When the trees bloom and the weather gets warmer, Storybrooke is so beautiful about that time" Regina sipped of her coffee as she nodded along to Kathryn's explanation. "Mom and Dad won't have to travel that far either. You know how they are about Boston" Kathryn chuckled as did Regina. Yes, she knew. They were dead set on that Boston was a dangerous town for their precious daughter and almost wouldn't let her go, before Regina's mother talked to them.

"Well, you spent about a week in this dangerous town with me before Frederick came and since you have been inseparable. And I, I was pushed to the side" Regina said dramatically as she laid a hand on her chest for extra effect. Kathryn swatted her arm.

"You easily found a new place and look now, now you got three more friends!" Regina huffed and Kathryn's smile fell a tiny bit. "What did Emma do now?"

"It's more what she doesn't do! I almost broke my neck this morning, falling over her clothes and now, she canceled on our movie night, again and it's all because of Killian" She mocked and sighed loudly, very unladylike, according to her mother.

"You fall over her clothes every morning. You should've got used to it by now" Regina glared at her. "She'll get tired of Killian at some point. I've met the guy once and I got some seriously bad guy vibes" Kathryn said and stood up. "Come on, breaks almost over" Regina followed her and threw their trash out on the way to the door.

"I'm afraid that's what Emma likes about him. His 'bad boy vibes' and way too much guyliner" Kathryn laughed as they walked down the street. "She couldn't possible like that, but then I think, it's Emma. She very divergent"

"Yeah, let's hope she wakes up sometime" Kathryn answered with a smile. They walked together into the office and split up as Kathryn had a meeting with Mr. Gold. Regina was a tiny bit glad, that it wasn't her. She couldn't handle that today. She sighed and went on with the large amount of folders on her desk. She was certain that she wouldn't be home before six.

Emma dragged her feet into the kitchen with the last plates from her tables. It has been a crazy day and she really felt like going home and chill for the rest of the night. Unfortunately that wasn't an option as she promised Killian she would be there. She would just quickly get home and grab a shower before leaving for the night. A shower sounded amazing right now, she was sure that kid from table five had plunged some kind of gross substance at her.

"I'm so damn ready to get home and get a shower" Emma said and sighed heavily. Jane agreed with a nod as she changed her clothes quickly. "Got any plans tonight?"

"Yes, Tim and I got dinner plans. He's home for a few days before he has to go back again, so we're going to make the time useful" Jane smiled and packed her bag.

"Sounds really great, Jane. Say hi to Tim for me"

"Will do. See you tomorrow" She said and went out of the door. Emma responded and quickly gathered her own stuff. She went into the diner and said her goodbyes to the girls working night and left the diner. After a quick drive through the town she was barreling through the front door. Ruby jumped off the couch in shock and grabbed her chest.

"Jeez, Em! Are you trying to kill me?"

"Sorry. Busy. Can't talk" She ran through the apartment to get a quick shower and in no time she was in clean clothes and trying to get her shoes on. Ruby watched in amusement as Emma tried to zip her red dress.

"Need a hand?" Emma nodded hastily and put on the last touch of makeup. Ruby chuckled and zipped her up. "Have a great night!" She yelled as Emma ran out the apartment. Ruby picked up her purse and walked to the door, in the same time as Emma came back. She took her purse and smiled thankfully at Ruby, before leaving again.

"Was that Emma?" Belle asked as she came out from her room. Ruby just nodded and threw herself on the couch. Emma was late, like twenty minutes late and she knew Killian wasn't happy to wait. She had tried to call him, but as usually he didn't pick up. She rushed through the people and she was certain she had bumped into a few when she finally made her destination, The CK Club. Emma has always thought it was a shady club, but Killian liked it here so Emma went there for him, even though Killian never went out of his way for her. Emma walked fast through the door and let out a relieved breath when she noticed it wasn't started yet. She waved to the bartender and went backstage, where she immediately could hear Killian complain about some sound problems.

"Just put the damn cord into the right plug! How stupid can you be?" He yelled at the technician, who nodded and walked away hastily. Killian sighed heavily and took a swig of his small flask before his noticed Emma. "You're late" He stated evenly.

"Yeah, sorry, but I-"Emma started before Killian shook his head and motioned for her to stop.

"Doesn't matter. Come here" He said and grabbed her to plant a sloppy kiss on her lips. "Now, get out and find your seat" He turned her around and pushed her towards the door. Emma was a bit stunned but quickly came through and found her seat. Soon after, the presenter came onto the stage and welcomed Killian to the stage. He bowed and grabbed the mic to begin his show. Killian was an up-coming comedian, known for talking bad about women and focusing on sex. He wasn't exactly Emma's type but he talked her into giving him a shot. He had changed a lot since he got this chance at the club, and Emma had a hard time understanding him, but she wasn't the type to give up. So, here she was, listening to his shit about women was obligated to give men blowjobs every day. Funny, since it has been several days since they had any action at all. After twenty agonizing minutes, he was finally done. There was a decent applause and Emma stood up to go backstage again. She walked over to Killian who was talking to his manager.

"Hi, you did well" Killian turned around with a smirk.

"I did fucking great, love. How about a celebration? Go get us some drinks" He smacked some bills into a nearby man's hand. The man sighed and rolled his eyes before leaving the room. Emma smiled apologetically at him. Killian put a possessive arm around her shoulders her and dragged her over to the rooms couch. Emma hated being back here, it was a bit gross and right now she wished she was with her girls instead. Killian placed another sloppy kiss on her lips before going back to his conversation with his friends. The drinks came fluidly, but Emma kept to her one beer, she didn't felt like being drunk tonight. Killian instead, was seriously wasted and loud. She saw it was way past midnight and she was tired.

"Maybe you should stop and go home" She told him as he grabbed another beer. Emma took the beer and put it down before making him stand up. He grinned and cheered loudly into her ear. Emma winched at the loud noise.

"I'm going to get some ass!" His friends cheered along with him and a few whistled. Emma rolled her eyes and dragged him out of the club. She dragged him down the street towards her car; it was bit of a difficult task as he had wandering hands. Emma slapped them all away and was happy as hell when her car came into view. She could have left him at the club, but it wasn't to tell where he had woken up tomorrow if she had. After struggling with getting him into the car, she was finally on the way to his home. It was a quick trip and Emma thanked the world for elevators as she dragged Killian into his apartment. He was still grinning like an idiot when she laid him down on the bed. He grabbed her with him and she landed upon him. His hand was all over her and his lips was on her throat. Correction, not lips, more tongue.

"Stop, you're too wasted" She said and managed to get free from his grab.

"You're such a tease" He slurred angrily before he suddenly was snoring away. She rolled her eyes and quickly found a bucket for him and a glass of water, before she left his apartment to get home. It was past three when she finally made it home. She silently opened the front door and tried to step around the creaks on the floor. From taking this walk many times, Emma knew exactly where not to step. The light from the TV was still on and she saw a figure lying on the couch. She stepped around the couch and found Regina lightly snoring with her mouth open. She chuckled lowly and grabbed a nearby blanket to put over her. Regina sighed contently and snuggled into the blanket. Emma turned off the TV and went into her own room, where she slipped out of her dress and threw herself on the bed. She found her phone and saw she had a few missed texts from Regina and Ruby. It wasn't important or anything, so Emma decided to just sleep after quite a day. Regina opened her eyes and found herself surrounded in darkness and a blanket. She sat up and saw Emma's heels lying on the floor next to the door and smiled relieved by the thought that Emma was home. She had been quite nervous since she hadn't heard from Emma since lunch. Ruby told her she shouldn't be, but Regina couldn't relax, so since Ruby and Belle decided to go to bed, Regina waited for Emma to come home, but she must have fallen asleep. She tiptoed into her own room and under the duvet, where she immediately felt asleep again. Glad that her friend was home safely.
