Regina was sitting at her desk filling out a file when her inbox made a ding telling her she had an email, she put her pen down and clicked on the email that was from Emma. She checked to make sure no one was around before settling down to read the email.
Madame Mayor,
I realize that it was just sex, no feelings on this end either, though it was rather enjoyable, and I know it was for you, you can't lie or you wouldn't be coming back for more.
Regina rolled her eyes while reading the email, but continued reading it.
Rules? What would these rules be? I would love to be informed of them and I'm sure you'll do a great job explaining them to me. It is like a friends with benefits, well no we're not really friends. People who have sex.
Sheriff Swan
Ms Swan,
Rules:
No jealousy
No lying
No expectations
No commitment
No flowers
No clothed spooning
And if either of us begin to feel anything well more so if you begin to feel anything we call it off and stop. Anything to add?
Mayor Mills
Madame Mayor,
I've got a few that I think you might find to your liking.
No having home phone number
No dates
Emma
P.s. oh here's my number text me when you need me, 226-452-7926
Emma closed her laptop and grabbed her red jacket getting up from her desk to head home, she grabbed the keys before leaving and she made sure the small police station was locked up so no one could get in. Not that anyone would break in but in this town you never know what crazy thing could happen. She strolled over to her yellow bug enjoying the calm breeze of the clear night sky. She started the car and drove down the street while playing AC DC with a window open the breeze flying through her hair.
She drove towards the small flat she shared with her room-mate Mary Margaret, she parked her car and grabbed her things from the seat beside her. She walked up the steps until she got to the door. She opened the door to find Mary Margaret sitting at the table marking students papers, Emma couldn't help but laugh at the frustrated look on the school teachers face.
"Hey Emma," Mary Margaret smiled as she looked up to see her room-mate who had become one of her close friends.
"Hey what's up?" Emma asked as she closed the door and walked into the small apartment.
She walked over to the fridge and stood there looking into it lost in her thought, she thought with a sigh about all the paperwork she had to get finished. How the hell was she was going to avoid getting it done seeing that she was going to be seeing much more of the mayor. Some things just really come and bite you in the ass she thought with a sigh.
She knew that if the two did carry out with the plan then Emma would have to hand in her paperwork on time or Regina would have Emma's head on a platter, quite literally. She had to admit she was kind of excited for their next encounter, she couldn't complain with sex. She was also curious as to what Regina was really like in bed considering they had only had sex in the police station, standing up, with clothes on.
"Are you just going to stare at that food?" Mary Margaret laughed interrupting Emma's thoughts.
Emma shook her head snapping back to reality, she grabbed an apple from the fridge and shut the door. She walked over to the small wooden table that was in the middle of the room taking a bite as she did. She sat down at the table across from Mary Margaret, and took another bite from the apple, Mary Margaret furrowed her brow and bit the end of the pen she had in her mouth gently.
"What are you marking?" Emma asked with not much interest.
"Tests, marking is definitely the worst part of being a teacher," Mary Margaret laughed, "How was your day?" she asked not looking up from the tests.
Emma thought about this for a moment before answering, today had been an interesting day that was for sure, "It was...interesting," Emma replied with a smile, "how about yours?" she asked continuing to eat her apple.
"Very uneventful," Mary Margaret sighed as she continued marking the papers on the kitchen table. Emma sat there with her elbows on the table eating her apple, when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She fished it out of her pocket and saw an unknown number had texted her. She opened her phone by entering the four digit lock.
It's Regina. I have another rule, no shared breakfasts.
sounds good.
Emma waited a minute before sending the next message, she was bored and she had nothing else to do.
your place in ten?
No. I'll let you know.
Emma frowned at the message, it seemed she would be bored and alone for the night. No matter she got up threw the apple core into the garbage and flopped down on the sofa with a bag of chips. She turned on the tv and started looking through netflix, she looked through the movies looking for something to watch. Her attention was caught by the movie Holes, she hadn't seen that since she was just a kid so she decided she would watch it. This brought back childhood memories she smiled as she got comfortable on the couch.
Mary Margaret who after about half an hour finally realized that Emma had moved and put on the tv suddenly shot her head up from the noise which she had tuned out until now. She turned to look at the tv and cocked her head to the side slightly trying to figure out what Emma was watching. She shrugged and went back to working on her papers, she wanted to get through most of them so she could have the rest of the night to do nothing and relax. Emma fell asleep halfway through the movie, she hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and she was truly quite exhausted.
It was ten by the time Mary Margaret had finished marking the papers and Emma was still passed out on the small couch, she had turned the tv off about an hour ago realizing that the blonde was asleep. She got up from her chair and stretched, her back was sore from being hunched over for so many hours.
She was just about to throw a blanket on Emma when the blonde's phone went off in her pocket making her shoot straight up on the couch. Mary Margaret jumped back, once the blonde got her bearings she laughed at the school teacher. Emma opened her phone to find a message from Ruby, unexpected she thought she thought it would have been Regina but she was mistaken, nonetheless she wondered what Ruby wanted.
Hey just got off work I'm bored and not tired want to go out? Ask Mary Margaret to come to!
"Hey wanna go out for drinks with Ruby?" Emma asked Mary Margaret.
"sure!," Mary Margaret replied with a shrug of her shoulders, why not she could use a night out.
Sure! where do you want to meet?
The Rabbit Hole, I'll meet you there?
Sounds good!
Emma pocketed her phone and got up from the couch, she waited for Mary Margaret to get what she needed before they left the apartment and locked the door. They walked to the bar where they were going to be meeting Ruby. It had been quite some time since Emma had gotten out to have a fun night with her friends, she had been so busy trying to catch up on all the paperwork that Regina so desperately needed. But in all truth most days Emma didn't actually do her paperwork.
She would end up staying up late trying to get caught up but always lost her attention because of the tv or Henry kept her distracted after she was finished her work, She spent a lot of the time with the kid, the sheriff knew Regina didn't like it but she would just have to deal with that fact that Emma just wanted to see her child. Emma smiled as they walked down the empty streets, she needed this, she needed to get out and have some fun
They arrived at the Rabbit hole fifteen minutes later and went inside and were soon waved over by Ruby who smiled at them cheerfully. She had ordered three drinks by the time Emma and Mary Margaret had sat down. The bartender brought them over and set them down with a nod, he walked off to tend to his other customers.
"Hey guys," Ruby smiled as they sat down beside her, "I got you some drinks."
"Thanks," Emma smiled as she sat down.
"Hey," Mary Margaret smiled and sat down as well. Ruby was on the far right with Emma next to her followed by Mary Margaret beside Emma. So Emma was in the middle. Ruby who was already tipsy smiled at them both happily.
"So you seeing anyone?" she asked both of them curiously.
"Well I'm with David still," Mary Margaret replied with a joyful smile.
"Oh right! Emma what about you?" Ruby asked while taking a drink from her beer bottle.
"I.. uh," Emma stuttered not quite sure what to answer, "No," she decided, she knew it wasn't a relationship with Regina but she hadn't thought of what to tell others about it quite yet. They hadn't discussed that yet so Emma found herself slightly caught off guard and her being tired made it much more difficult for her to just lie instead of being able to sound more truthful.
"You hesitated," Mary Margaret said looking at Emma with a raised eyebrow.
"Well what's the truth then?" Ruby demanded.
"Well it isn't a relationship and I'm not really seeing her," Emma told them as she drank her beer.
"Her?" Mary Margaret asked, "even more mysterious," she laughed.
"Come on tell," Ruby whined.
"Well uh.. it's not a relationship like I said and there is no feelings," Emma stuttered trying to get off this topic.
"So you're friends who have sex?" Ruby asked while drinking her beer. Mary Margaret smiled as she drank her drink as well.
"Yes you could say that," Emma replied slowly.
"Well that sounds like fun!" Ruby laughed loudly.
"There's more," Emma whispered, the alcohol had gone to her head and she wasn't really registering what she was saying.
"What is it?" Mary Margaret asked slowly not sure if she wanted to know, she took another drink of her beer.
"It's with Regina," Emma replied quietly. Mary Margaret who had beer in her mouth and was about to swallow coughed violently choking on the beer. She whacked her fist against her chest trying to be able to breathe again.
