***A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know. Another new one. But if I don't get them out of my head when the muse strikes then I'll end up losing it forever. Enjoy :) ***
Emma leaned over and gave Regina a kiss. "We still on for Saturday right?" She finished dressing and picked up her jacket preparing for heading out the door.
"Mmm," Regina purred lazily. "Then I don't have to hide you away anymore."
Emma chuckled. "Til then my love," she waved to her before turning and jogging outside to get into her car.
She got back to the loft and tiptoed up to her bedroom. She knew she was behaving like a silly schoolgirl but she couldn't help it. She quickly threw off her clothes and jumped into the bed for almost the last time.
Saturday was the night she was finally going to confront her parents. For close to a year now, she and Regina had been having an affair that they'd been keeping secret. The only people who knew about it besides them were Henry, Ruby and Granny.
At first, they kept their secret because it was still new and scary to both of them. Then after Emma finally came to terms that this was real and not just physical she had wanted to tell everyone. Regina had begged her to hold back and out of respect Emma had. But no more. She'd faced down Regina after Emma had tried to hold her hand in the cinema. Emma had thrown a fit because Regina wouldn't even let her hold her hand in the dark. She was no one's dirty secret. So they'd had it out. And she'd won!
Regina had agreed to come clean so long as Emma moved in with her and Henry. That wasn't a problem for Emma. It was where she wanted to be anyway.
She turned toward her nightstand and opened the drawer. She pulled out a jeweler's box. She stared at the ring as she grinned thinking about sliding it onto Regina's hand. She knew she'd surprise her. But neither one of them were getting any younger. Emma didn't want to wait anymore. This wasn't a fling for her. Regina was her true love.
She knew this was the true love that had been spoken of in those fairy tale books and by her parents. There was a humming in her veins that was only soothed when Regina was near. She literally breathed for Regina. The woman occupied every waking moment of her thoughts. Even now with Regina tucked safely in her bed across town Emma could feel her. It kinda felt like a vibration that was pulling her to her. Emma knew it was something she wasn't about to let go of. Not even to spare her parents feelings.
Emma put the box back into her nightstand. She snuggled deep into the blankets. She turned out the light and resolved to get just a few more hours' worth of sleep.
