I never thought something like this could happen. It was just a kiss... Then why does everything go round and round, and why is my heart beating so fast? I don't know.
Everything happened last night. I was with Henry, my son, having dinner (it was my turn of taking care of him), then i heard the ringbell.
-Emma, what are you doing here? - she looked sad.
-I ... Hm... Can i see Henry? I just need someone right now.
I was quite curious about what happened to her, but it was my time with him!
-Well, i don't know if you remember, but it's my day with him today. If you want to be with him, you, uhm, will have to do this here.
-Oh Regina, thank you! - she really looked upset.
She took half an hour talking to him before he said to her he needed to sleep.
-Of course son! Good night, and thanks for staying with me for a while in Regina's turn.
-Don't worry mom. Everything's gonna be just fine! - then he went to his room, after telling me good night too.
-Emma, before you go... Could you tell me what happened?
-Yeah, i guess... I went to Portland today, to buy some stuff like a new cellphone, then, when i was in my way to the store, three guys stopped me and forced me to give all my money to them. I couldn't fight and my gun was in the car. I hate myself, i shouldn't have left the gun in the car!
-No, stop it. You could have been killed if you had your gun there. And no one in town would like you dead.
-Not even...
-Not even me. - Recompose yourself, Regina. Why the hell have i told her that i didn't want her dead? I want to kill her so bad... Or not. I don't know.
She was smelling like lillies, and it felt so good when I got closer to her. We were both standing in my living room and she was smiling at me.
-Mhmm, do you want something to drink? I have apple cider, wine, scotch...
-I think i want the cider.
-Great then. I will bring it here soon , make yourself comfortable while i'm gone. - and i pointed at the sofa.
I served the drink quickly, because i was willing to be with her soon again I guess i was sick. Why would i want that? It doesn't make any sense.
-Here's your glass - i beamed and she smiled back at me, her white teeth shining. And those lips...
I sat down next to her, and felt her body heat. She looked me in the eyes and said:
-You know, i shouldn't say that, i mean, your cider is a little strong, so there it goes: i really think you deserve to be happy.
Why did her words make my heart stop for a while?
-Hmm, thank you... I think you should too.
I couldn't think straight, so what i did next was just an impulse (it was just this, right?). I stroked her face with my hand, and she put her hand over mine and squeezed it gently. We looked at each other, came closer, and kissed. I felt her lips in mine and couldn't think about anything else. Those soft, warm and red lips were in mine, as i put my right hand on her neck and she played with my hair. When we stopped to breathe, we were both cherry-cheeked.
-I don't actually know what just happened... - when i said that, i realised she was just as confused as me.
-Neither do i! But... I kinda liked it. I'm really feeling better than before. Thank you, Regina.
-You're welcome. Thank you too. I mean, i haven't felt that way for so long...
She smiled one more time, and said that she had to go, that she needed to sleep. I walked with her to the front yard and we said an awkward goodbye to each other.
I couldn't sleep all night, just thinking about the kiss, about Emma... She was so beautiful and i... Well i couldn't resist her.
It was something between nine and ten in the morning when i heard a song from Mumford & Sons coming out of my purse. Someone was calling me, and before i could say something i heard her voice:
-Regina, i couldn't sleep this night. I felt something really strong yesterday. Can i go to your office like, right away To uhm, talk?
