I'm going over the story again, changing and especially correcting mistakes I made in older chapters. I will soon write and post more NEW chapters though.

{{ text message from Regina }}

Oh and tell me if there are any characters you really want to be included and maybe I'll do you the favor ;)

P.S.: I kept "Belle" for Belle. I mean Regina kept her old name as well, so why not her too.

Regina woke to the feeling of someone watching her. She'd been married for, well, actually for as long as she could think, and still she often woke to her wife's eyes burning into her. She pushed herself further into the warm body that was spooning her from behind and soon enough she felt gentle fingers trailing up her shoulder, stopping at the crook of her neck. She smiled. She loved mornings like this when she would forget about all of her troubles in the safe haven of her wife's arms. Finally she turned around and without yet opening her eyes her lips found the lips of her better half in a soft good morning kiss. Brown eyes sleepily flickered open when she heard the giggling of the woman lying beside her. Green eyes were mischievously looking her up and down and Regina, following their gaze, noticed that the sheets had moved when she'd turned around, leaving nothing to the imagination. It took her less than a second to straddle her beautiful wife next to her.
"See something you like?" she asked from atop of her.
"Well, let me think for a moment...", the body trapped under her own teased her.
"Just you wait," Regina responded and started tickling the woman's sides. Giggling and yelping her wife soon capitulated under her ambush.
"Ok Gina, ok I give up, I give up," she said between deep breaths. She smiled at the woman she loved. "There actually really is something I like, or should I say someone?"
"Oh, care to share, dear?" Regina's hands began to trail up and slipped under her wife's lacey pajama top, but before she could reach the pink nipples she wanted to twirl between her fingers, her beloved stopped her by placing one of her own hands over the wandering digits. "Baby I'd really love to continue this but...you remember last time we tried to... in the morning?"
"Yes I certainly do," Regina sighed and got out of bed after pecking her wife on the lips. "I guess I should get dressed before Henry marches in again"
From the bed green eyes full of desire followed the naked form's movement through the bedroom. Regina was a sight to behold. She'd only touched and tasted those silky curves last night - which was the reason for the brown eyed beauty falling asleep naked - but she already craved to do it again. Regina was her own personal drug and she was a hopeless addict. She was about to call her back to bed and forget about their adopted son, when he barged into the room. Luckily, Regina was already dressed by now.
"Come on, get out of bed mom," he said. "We gotta leave really soon"
And after sending her a smile and ignoring Regina he rushed out of the room again and down the stairs.
"No running on the stairs, Henry," Regina called after him, hurt shining in her eyes.
Mary Margaret got out of bed and embraced her from behind, nuzzling the shorter woman's neck. Usually they were about the same height, which was fine by her - Regina's legs looked smoking hot in heels - but sometimes it was nice to be able to hold her like this. Most people only got to see her wife as the powerful mayor and she was truly lucky that she was the one to be allowed to see the woman underneath it.
"I know it hurts, baby... But you'll see he'll come around soon. He's only seen Archie twice and he's already been behaving a lot better toward you since then."
Regina sighed. "I know, honey. It just… it really hurts. Yesterday he was my little sweet prince and now?" She shook her head. "At least I got you."
She turned around in the pixie haired woman's arms and gave her a sweet kiss.
"Now, I have to get going to the office and you and Henry have school to get to. Wouldn't want the teacher to be late to class, would you?" Regina teased, freeing herself of the warm body embracing her. She winked and left Mary to change.
'Well, Regina is right. I wouldn't want to be late...' she thought to herself and went to their wardrobe to find something to wear.

It was her lunch break and Regina decided to stop by the library and see if her best friend Belle the librarian would be free to join her at Granny's. When she arrived, there was no sign of Belle but after passing some rows of bookshelves, she finally found her, sitting on the floor, surrounded by books and reading a volume called "Romeo and Juliet".
"Here you are", Regina said quietly so as not to spook her friend. Belle only jumped a little and looked up to see Regina standing there. She smiled, put the book away - not before bookmarking the page she'd gotten to - and got to her feet.
"Regina, hi. I take it you're on your way to go and grab some lunch? Care if I join you?" "That's actually why I'm here Belle. I thought it would be nicer to eat together than each of us eating alone."
Belle nodded happily and followed Regina out of the library, turning the sign on the front door from 'OPEN' to 'CLOSED' before leaving. At the diner, the friends greeted Granny, Ruby and Leroy before enjoying their meal together. They were excitedly talking about Belle's idea to start a book club at Storybrooke's local high school when Regina's mobile phone beeped once, signaling the arrival of a text message. She looked down at her phone and broke into a wide smile.

[[Thinking of you baby. Wanna see my new lingerie tonight? xo]]

"I take it that was a text from your wifey?" Belle grinned at Regina. "You know, you two are so cute. You're just like Romeo and Juliet only with two girls and a good ending... Oh and without your families hating each other!" the brunette exclaimed.
"Well, thank you I guess, although haven't read that book you're talking about. Maybe I'll read it once you're through."
Belle suddenly blushed. "Oh you can have it now. I've already read it once... There's just not enough books in this town."
Regina laughed at that. "Well, maybe I should do something to change this, huh? After all I'm the mayor of this town and I won't have my librarian bored to death."
"You'd do that?" Belle was excited. "It'd mean so much to me."
"I really should find you a boyfriend," Regina said amused. "Before someday I'll find the invitation to your wedding to a book."
Belle blushed again. "Well, you know I like books…" Another beep interrupted them.

[[Baby, did you forget about me or did the images of me in that burgundy lingerie knock you out? ;) xo]]

Regina licked her lips before replying.

{{sorry. having lunch with Belle. right now she's almost laughing at me. probably am drooling over you ;) can't wait to see u. xoxo }}

"Regina?" Belle waved her hand in front of her face. "You in there? Or are you already in your bedroom with a certain teacher?"
The raven haired mayor only smiled to herself not even realizing that Belle was talking to her or the hand moving in front of her face. Sometimes life was perfect.
