The 40 minutes that took Felipe to reach the hospital were spent in complete silence.
Regina played with her cell phone the whole way, ignoring the three messages that Mal had sent her, she was in no mood to deal with the woman now. Emma on the other hand spent the entire way with her head against window ignoring her companion. As she sat, her mini skirt, which for starters didn't cover anything, covered even less. Regina had to force herself not stare at the long legs on display.
"We are here, Ms. Mills" Felipe said as he left the car to open the door to the two women in the back seat. An habit that Regina insisted that all of her drivers should have. She would have to remember to mention it to the next one. She nodded toward her almost ex driver and signed for him to help the blonde because of her ankle. He did not have time to even move as Emma spoke.
"I don't need help," she said as she was trying to leave the car clearly in need of help.
"Do not be ridiculous," Regina rolled her eyes. "Felipe help Miss White "she ordered. It was Emma's turn to roll her eyes, but she accepted the help of the driver.
As they passed through the hospital's main door two nurses came to them.
"What do we have here?" Regina opened her mouth to explain but Emma was faster.
"I fell," Emma said firmly. "I think I sprained my ankle or something"
The nurse then nodded and walked away saying she would seek a wheelchair. Emma rolled her eyes again.
"It was not need for you to lie, Miss White" Regina said indignantly. About what she could not explain.
"Okay, first," Emma turned in her direction. "Stop with this thing of 'Miss White'. My name is Emma, "she said firmly. "Second, if I had said what really happened we would lose the whole night here in this hospital and as you said you do not have all night, and frankly, neither do I." She finished as the nurse arrived with a wheelchair to take her.
"As you wish," Regina provoked "Miss White "
Emma narrowed her eyes in her direction.
"Okay," the nurse interrupted. "I'll take you to do an X-ray but I need someone to stay here and fill the forms" She finished staring Regina.
"Me?" Regina said, "You must be joking right?" The nurse shook her head in a negative sign. "I do not know anything about her" The brunette continued.
"You have any document in hand?" The nurse Daise, according to her badge, said now addressing Emma.
"Yes," Emma whispered reluctant as she tucked her hand inside her bra where from the looks of it was where she kept her money and ID. Regina looked away. "On here. Take it "
Daise handed the documents to Regina and lead Emma to the tests that should be done.
The next twenty minutes of Regina Mills' life were spent filling out papers for a complete stranger. Not that the brunette was not used to fill forms, it is basically what she does for a living, but it is the part of the stranger thing that makes her unsettled. Her wife was waiting for her at home and she was filling out forms for a woman that she is fully attracted to.
Regina couldn't care less.
What else got her attention at the time were the documents of blonde woman. She had introduced herself as Emma White. Her identity says she is Emma Swan. In Regina's mind this only reinforces her theory that Emma is a prostitute.
Regina hopes she is, so maybe she can hire her for one night and get rid of this stupid attraction once and for all.
She always thought she was a faithful woman, even not loving her wife, the brunette had never cheated on her. One of her unique qualities. But now she is beginning to think that maybe she just had not been tempted enough. Her thoughts are interrupted when she sees the nurse Daise approach.
"She's fine," she then said. "It was really just a sprained ankle. We have giver her medicine for pain and she's already released to go home as long as someone take responsibility for her. "The nurse looked at her again.
"You got to be kidding me," Regina murmured more to herself than anyone else.
"She's medicated." Daise continued. "We can not release her alone."
"Yes yes," Regina rushed. "Get on with it I do not have all night and this nonsense," she continued now talking directly to her almost ex driver "has taken much of my night and will probably take me most of the day because I will have to listen to Mal whining for a week ... "Regina didn't stop complaining as she signed the forms for the release. When she turned she saw the woman standing behind her.
"Who's Mal?" Emma asked, her speech a little slow.
"My wife," Regina said inattentively while hastening the three of them toward the exit. "She has probably sent me 15 messages since I turn off my phone."
"I did not know you were married," Emma insisted. "You're not wering a band."
"For a person who is under the effect of medications you are an observer is it not Miss White? "Regina raised an eyebrow in her direction. "Or should I say Miss Swan? "She finished while delivering her ID back.
Emma went pale for a second.
"Ah," Regina smiled evilly. "Do not worry, Miss Swan" She got closer to the blonde while Felipe went to open the door. "It's our little secret," she whispered very closely to her cheek, feeling her breath on her neck. She stopped for a second and walked away.
"Miss Swan, tell Philip where we should drop you." She said and then got into the car. She saw Emma giving instructions to the driver, then the blonde followed her inside.
"What do you want from me?" Emma asked slowly but bluntly and looked at her in the eye as soon as the door closed. "Don't lie, I know you want something." She continued. "Something tells me that a woman like you wouldn't have dropped everything as you did to help a stranger," she laughed. "Even if it was your fault, kinda of"
Regina stared at her with interest.
''You're smarter than I though, Miss Swan. "Regina said with a smile and Emma stared harder due to the use of her real name. "What I want? Is that what you want to know? "
Emma nodded.
"You" Regina said with a whisper, coming closer to the blonde's face, so close that only a movement and their mouths would meet. Regina bit her lip.
Emma closed her eyes for a few seconds.
"And?" Regina insisted. "Didn't like my answer?"
Emma kept her eyes closed but a small smile was present on her lips.
"I'll probably regret saying yes," The blonde started. "But I can blame the drugs later." She opened her eyes and was faced with beautiful brown eyes staring at back at her.
Regina nodded and gestured with her neck. "How much?" She asked softly
Emma was silent for a long time. More than seconds. But for some reason Regina was patient.
Perhaps because the woman had agreed to spend the night with her.
Regina was frightened by the movement that Emma had to do to take a paper inside of her clothes. She handed it to Regina.
"That's my price," the blonde said as she saw they were approaching the place she had given directions for.
The car stopped.
"My number is also there," She continued and Regina held the paper harder.
Emma came closer and ended up at the same distance that Regina had when she made the proposal.
Regina sighed and blonde passed her tongue over the brunette's lips before pulling away.
"You can call me anytime." She said as she got out of the car.
Regina licked her lips and was as if she could still feel the blonde's tongue going through them even if it was only for a second.
'This woman will be mine' She thought as she turned to Felipe.
He saw everything.
Regina did not care. Tomorrow she would have a new driver. And a new body on her bed.
"Take me home, Felipe." She snapped. "And try not to run anyone else over while at it."
