Web of Lies and Deceit
Chapter 2
I would like to thank my beta 'fiend89' for editing this chappie!
"I'll make Emma Swan fall in love with me." Regina stated.
Maleficent stared at Emma as she went to the line. "Ooooh, that's quite interesting." She looked at Regina and teases her, "Why, dear, have you been enamored by the blondie freak?"
"Uh- no, I-" she was lost for words realizing what she just said. 'What the hell have you just offered?! Seriously?! Make that freak fall in love with me?!' she mentally scolded herself. She composed herself to answer back Maleficent, "Of course not, Mal. I'm pretty sure that I'll win this bet easily." Smirking at her.
Belle was at lost with just happened. She's Regina's best friend but she secretly she has a crush on her. With discovering this bet, her hopes are now dashed. She just broke her heart and now, she'll be having an escapade that might not produce pleasant results.
"Regina, think carefully of what you're going to do." Pleading to her friend to think thoroughly of the outcome of this bet.
"I do agree with Belle, Regina. Think it over! I mean, come on, you have to go on a date with her! Worst of all, you'll KISS HER!"
"Shut up, Bookworm and Pine Cone. This is between me and Regina." Maleficent countered. "Fine, that would be our new bet. Let's talk more about this new bet of ours once this idiots leave, okay?"
Jefferson wagged his finger and disagreed, "Uh, uh. No way, I want to hear every detail about this and how our Reggie would conquer 'her'."
"I'm quite interested too, aren't you, babe?" Philip asked her girlfriend who's now sitting on his lap. She gave a nod in agreement to the proposition.
"So am I. I am here for her well-being." Gaining a smile for her best friend. Belle sat up straight like she's dealing with a business deal.
"Count me as well." Robin added.
Maleficent sighed, "Alright. Since I have approved your proposal, we'll talk about the consequence and the length of time this would be."
"We could just have it the whole year." she suggested.
"Nu uh uh, 2 months would suffice."
Regina was flabbergasted, "2 months?! That's not enough."
"Haven't you remembered what you said earlier? 'I'm pretty sure that I'll win this bet easily'" Regina bit her lower lip, a sign that she was in a disadvantage.
It is true that this bet would be easy, if it was a random guy or girl, sadly it wasn't. She has to make EMMA "THE FREAK" SWAN in love with her. Nobody talks to her aside for her 2 friends, but if anyone caught her talking to her what would happen to her reputation?
Regina gulped perhaps trying to swallow her pride. "Fine, anything else?"
"I want to hear the words 'I love you, Regina' personally. Oh, and for the consequence, you know it just the triple of it." She replied with wink.
Regina paled with what she just heard. This did not go unnoticed by Belle who became worried, "Are you okay? You look pale. Do you want me to take you to the clinic?"
She shook her in refusal and gave her a wan smile, "I'm alright. I just need to go to the restroom. If you'll excuse me." With that she stood up, turned around to leave the table. But before she could completely leave she heard Maleficent.
"If I were you, I'd start doing it already. Time's ticking. Tick-tock."
She hurried to go outside, no longer wanting to hear the bickering of Belle and Robin with Maleficent. Walking faster was all in her mind to reach the farthest restroom. Upon getting inside she washed her face trying to wake up from this nightmare.
"What were you thinking?! You should have just took consequence of losing the bet rather than make a new one!" scolding her reflection she pointed at it, "Now, you have make Em-"
Before she could finish her sentence the door opened. Lo and behold, Emma Swan was in the same room as her.
I know, a very short chap, but the next one would be a little bit longer since Regina and Emma would be conversing with one another ;)
Until then,
