Author's Note: I do not own Once Upon a Time or its characters. Just a fan
Emma sat down heavily on the couch. Regina, who was reading a book with her feet tucked up next to her, barely raised an eyebrow at her entrance.
"Where's the kid?"
"Upstairs, playing a video game I imagine."
"Oh." Emma slumped a little on the couch resting her head against the back.
"Whatcha reading?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn."
"Is it good?"
"It is so far."
"What is it about?"
Regina put the book down. "You aren't going to let me read in peace are you?"
"I can if you want me to."
Regina knew that wouldn't last longer than a few minutes. She recognized when her girlfriend was antsy. "What would you like to do?"
"Nothing. You can read your book."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok then," Regina said taking her book back up. Not even a minute later Emma pulled Regina's legs out straight so they were across her lap.
A second later, Regina felt Emma massaging her feet. She kept her concentration on the book. She was not going to give Emma the satisfaction after she had been given permission to read.
More minutes passed and Emma's hand now traveled up her leg. Why did I wear shorts, Regina thought. Emma's hand brushed the top of her thigh.
"How is that book, still good?"
Regina lowered it to see Emma grinning at her.
"I really hate you."
"No you don't. You love me," she said drawing out the love part. "Come on, let's go upstairs. Leave the book."
