Chapter 2: Blue Shirt
Monday, October 1st 10:52am
"Yes and you're my new assistant"
"Sorry I was late meeting you I had to drop my son off at my mother-in-laws, you know what they can be like I hope you weren't waiting long"
Robin said with a small chuckle and gives her a wink, he has a British accent, Emma wasn't expecting that.
"That's okay, if I'm honest, I was late too it took me forever to find your building I think I circled the block 3 times, then I spilt coffee on someone"
Emma smiled back at Robin, to be honest, she has no idea why she's just told her new boss that she's a typical blonde that got lost and spilt coffee on some hot chick in one morning.
'Nice one Emma'
She thought to herself, then realist that Robin was beginning to speak again.
"Ahh, rough morning for us both then"
Emma gave a little laugh back at him.
"So Emma, I know you've just started today, but we need to get to work right away, I'm in the middle of a custody battle with the rival law firm two blocks down, and I need your help because I'm not losing to her."
Robin said with a smirk leaning towards Emma saying those last words. Emma didn't know what Robin could possible need her help with she's just his assistant shouldn't she just be fetching coffees and talking calls for him?
"I have a meeting with my client, and I could really use a coffee."
Robin said with a smirk,
"If you wouldn't mind two tall, flat whites please"
'There it is,'
Emma thought to herself.
Monday October 1st 5:52pm
Regina was driving out of the city to her mother's house to pick up her son, she couldn't wait to see him, Henry had just spent the last week with his dad Robin. That was their custody arrangement from their divorce has much as Regina hated it, she couldn't go up against Robin again, this was how her life had been for the past year having Henry on alternative weeks with Robin. At the end of Robin's week with Henry he would drive up to Hempstead to drop Henry off at Regina's mothers so that she could pick him up after work. Regina hated the drive up to her mothers, she did nothing but think her mind went back to the blonde she met today, she looked down at the shirt she was wearing that the blonde had given her and started smiling to herself, remembering how amazing she through her eyes were, they were that deep shade of green that Regina loved ever so much for someone, paired beautifully with the way her long blonde curls rested ever so perfectly over her shoulders and chest. Regina pulled herself back from her thoughts as she turns into her mother's street. The brunette pulls the Benz up to her mother's driveway and her old childhood home. She steps out of her car and walked up with a stride in her step to her mother's front door, she didn't knock she didn't need to. When Regina opened the front door Henry comes running straight towards her.
"MOMMY!"
Henry jumps into his mother's arms.
"Hello Henry, I've missed you"
She says as she squeezes him tighter in her arms.
"I missed you too mommy!"
Henry said back to her has Regina puts him down.
"Did you have a good time at your father's sweetheart?"
"It was okay, daddies not as fun has you are though mommy"
Henry said has Regina bends down to his level with a sweet smile stretching across her face, just has she was about to reply to her son her mother steps into the room and they both look up at her.
"Henry why down you go and grab your bags sweetie, you don't want to keep your mother for ever do you now?"
Cora said, stepping into the room.
"Okay grandma, be back soon mommy!"
Henry runs up the stairs to go and grab his back.
"Good evening mother, Henry wasn't much trouble for you then?"
"Of course not dear, I love having him around the house"
Regina and her mother walk into her kitchen, Cora pulls out two glasses for added three ices cubes in each glass and then pours over her freshly homemade apple cider. She hands one of the glasses to Regina.
"Mother you know I don't daytime drink, and I'm driving"
Regina says, taking the glass from her mother and placing it back on the side.
"Oh, nonsense dear, it's only one"
Cora said as she brings her tumbler up to her lips and smiles.
"So Regina, I've been meaning to ask how is the hole dating going, it has been a while since you've last been on a date with a nice young man. Perhaps I can help set you up"
Regina closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, her mother would not drop this subject every time Regina would go round her mother's it was always the same discussion and Regina always had the same answer.
"Mother I told you I'm too busy to date, I have Henry and my work, and you know how busy it gets at the firm"
Regina said finally picking her tumbler up and taking a big gulp. She loved her mother, but she did know how to push Regina's buttons.
"Look Regina, I can't tell you're lonely dear, I'm just trying to help."
"I know mother, but honestly, I'm fine you don't need to worry"
Just had Regina replied Henry comes running into the kitchen.
"Okay, mommy, I've got all my bags and I'm all ready to go home!"
Henry says with a big smile on his face looking up at his mother.
"Alright then Henry give your grandma a hug and a kiss and we will get going"
Henry turns to look at his grandmother.
"Good bye grandma, I love you"
Henry hugs his grandmother and she kisses the top of his head
"Goodbye dear, I'll see you soon"
Henry picks up his bags and runs past his mother to the front door.
"Goodbye Regina dear. Do try and take my advice and put yourself back out there"
Regina just looks up at her mother and rolls her eyes. She knew her mother was right, she did need to put herself back out there but she just hasn't found the right person yet, unlike Robin who jumped into bed with Marian not even a week after Regina and Robin broke off their relationship.
"Also Regina, I love that shirt on you"
A smirk forms across Regina's face at the mention of the shirt, Regina really has no idea why her mind goes back to her meeting with the blonde this morning and why she is smiling thinking about the girl. She turns her attention back to her mother.
"Goodbye mother, I'll see you next week"
And at that Regina and Henry were walking hand in hand down Cora's drive way. Cora ways them off and they reverse down the driveway and off down the street.
Across town Emma had just arrived back at the apartment after her first day. She throws her keys on the coffee table and fell down on the couch. She closes her eyes and starts to relax, just as she can feel herself drifting off the apartment door flies open and Ruby and her girlfriend Belle come through the door giggling at each other. Emma sits up and opens her eyes. Ruby stops in the doorway just as Emma sits up.
"Oh Emma you're back home already!"
Ruby pulls Belle by her arm and closes the apartment door.
"Yeah, I literally just got back Rubes"
She says back with a smile, glancing over to Belle giving her a small way and mouthing hi. Ruby walks over to the refrigerator and places the six pack of beer in the fridge as Belle walks over to the couch and takes a seat next to Emma. Emma turns to look at Belle as she starts to speak.
"So... Ruby tells me that today was your first day at your new job, how did it go?"
Bella says, leaning and knocking Emma's shoulder as she speaks. Ruby comes over to join them bring three beers over with her and hands Emma and Belle one.
"Well, my boss is great, he's a little smug and he has a British accent so he tries to use that as a charm."
Ruby and Belle both look at each other a giggle. Emma takes a bit swig of her beer and counties her story.
"But this morning on the other hand couldn't have gone any worse. For a start I was running late then I-"
Emma was cut off by Ruby slapping her arm.
"Emma! Really? I told you not to be late on your first day!"
Emma takes another swig of beer and rolls her eyes, and Belle laughs quietly to herself.
"Rubes it's fine he was late too, anyway, as I was saying. So I was running late and trying to find this damn building right? And of course classic clumsy Emma isn't looking where she's going and I walk straight into this super hot business woman right and spill her fresh hot coffee all down her shirt"
Ruby and Belle start laughing, Ruby falls down into her girlfriend's lap.
"Thanks for the support guys."
Emma gives them both a sarcastic pointed look.
"Sorry Ems, you have to admit this is classic you and it is funny"
Ruby says, laughing into her beer again.
"So come on finish the story Emma!"
Ruby leans towards Emma wanting to know more.
"Okay, so after I bump into this really hot I've spilt coffee all down her that's made her shirt become see-through she catches me staring at her boobs"
Ruby and Belle are now in stitches laughing over each other on the couch.
"Best of it is I had to give her my spare shirt"
Emma joins in the laughing fit that her friends are having, it really was something that would only ever happen to Emma.
"Ems you should of got this girls number that would have been a cute story to tell about how you guys got together"
Ruby says, reaching for the Chinese takeout menu.
"Now, not that I don't love a good classic Emma story but, I'm starving so can we order now?"
