Day 2: Jealousy
When Emma awoke she was sprawled on top of Regina as if she was her mattress. When she shifted, she felt Regina's arm wrap tightly around her, she mumbled something in her sleep and put her other arm around her as well securing her hold. Emma smiled at the brunette holding her but faltering remembering that she and Regina had to still talk about why she had been there in her inebriated state. She was afraid that Regina might not want to be around her after she told her what she needed to say. She wasn't one to spill secrets, but she and Regina had gotten so close during the road trip, even more than when they had been in Storybrooke combating the things that threaten the town.
Emma finally unwrapping herself from Regina by substituting her body with a pillow she went to the restroom to change back to her clothes and left the room with one last look at the brunette. Just as she closed the door behind her she wasted no time running down the stairs and out of the house. She kept her pace until she got to granny's dinner and as she slipped in, Ruby looked at Emma's shitty state knowing that she was hung over, she put a mug full of coffee at the bar where Emma plopped down and sipped at the strong coffee.
When Ruby finished with the rest of her customers she went to Emma and just stared at her. "What Ruby?"
"Seriously Em? Where do I even start? You looked so hung over and seeing as you are wearing the same clothes as yesterday I might think you got lucky –"
"Don't dare finish that sentence Ruby." Emma glared at the lanky brunette.
Ruby went around the bar and went to hug Emma from behind and just as Emma was trying to push her off the doorbell rang notifying that someone had come in. Finally Ruby let her go and Emma turned around to see who had walked in but when she turned the person that had come in, had also left in a hurry. Emma just made out the outline fast enough to know that it had been Regina.
Cursing she ran out spilling coffee on herself not caring that it was burning her she ran after the brunette. 'Fucking, great. I should have just mustered up the courage and stayed at her house and talked to her.' Emma thought as she ran to catch up to Regina. Noticing once more that even in heals to tall and thin Regina could walk much faster than anyone should be able too. "Regina wait, please!"
Regina was fuming, 'how could I have been so stupid to think that Emma might actually feel the same way that I do. I shouldn't have even let myself sleep with her.'
Regina turned to face Emma with a hidden pained look on her face that Emma saw right thru, "Why Emma?! Why should I? Go back to that pup!"
"No wait-" Emma only had the reflex of grabbing Regina's arm fast enough that when Regina poofed herself home, they both appeared in her room. Since it was Emma's first time poofing she lost her balance and landed on her ass. 'I need to get some padding this is getting ridiculous.'
"Emma, what the hell!" Regina glared at the blond.
"Sorry. I just couldn't leave with you being angry at me. Plus it wasn't what it looked –"
"Well it looked like you prefer that pup!"
"Wait. Are you jealous?" Emma teased and smiled at the brunette.
"No. Jealousy is beneath me." Regina crossed her arms and tuned away from the blond.
"Aw…you are jealous!" Emma's smiled reached her eyes and brighten.
"Ms. Swan might, I remind you that there is no reason for me to even be jealous of that pup." Regina said as she turned to look at Emma. Emma now held a hurt expression and looked down.
"What if I gave you a reason?" Emma got up and looked at the brunette.
"Whatever do you mean Ms. Swan?" Regina turned with her eyes showing vulnerability but holding her regal demeanor nonetheless.
"I have feelings for you."
