Robin had been right. When he woke the next morning, Regina laid peacefully beside him, cooing softly as she dreamed. Robin watched a moment before pushing her bangs back from her face and then leaning forward and kissing her lips gently. Regina took in a deep breath as she shifted just a little where she laid. She fluttered her eyes open with a gentle yawn. "Morning." She said as she gave him a sleepy smile.
"Morning." Robin said with his own smile, not quite as sleepy as her's.
Regina stretched and snuggled up in the pillow again as she closed her eyes, her smile still on her face. Robin tilted his head before yanking the blanket down and she groaned a bit. "You look even better naked in the day light." Robin said before standing up, in the nude himself.
Regina opened her eye's for a quick peak and closed them again. "I saw that." Robin said as Regina stifled a tiny laugh.
Robin put his pajama bottoms on and then walked to the kitchen as he rummaged through the cupboards. He didn't have a whole lot here for breakfast seeing as though most morning's he just walked to the cafe and grabbed a bagel and coffee. He wasn't settling on that this morning. He was going to make something. Robin sighed as he peeked back in to the bedroom and saw that Regina hadn't moved. She fell back asleep. Good. Robin pulled a hoodie on and left his condo.
Robin ran down his steps and to the small store located at the corner. He grabbed eggs, bacon, pancakes, syrup, fresh fruit, bread, jam, and rushed back to his condo where he slipped off his hoodie and went to cooking. It was about ten minutes later that Regina could smell the amazing scent of bacon as she pushed the blankets back and crawled out of bed. She looked around for her shirt but then remembered that, that had been in the hall so she looked towards Robin's closet and quickly grabbed one of his button up shirt's and put it on. It was a pale grey and Regina just happened to like it.
With a smile, she grabbed her own underwear and slipped it on before walking out to the kitchen. Robin turned to look at her and had to smile at what he saw. "That shirt looks so much better on you." He said before turning back and continuing to cook.
Regina rubbed her head as she sat down at his kitchen table. Robin put down his spatula and grabbed a glass as he filled it with fresh orange juice and set it in front of her. "Thank you." She said with a yawn before taking a small sip. She smacked her lips gently together, enjoying the fresh taste or orange's before looking at him, "What was last night?" she asked.
"Come again?" Robin asked as he looked at her.
"Was it a one night stand?" Regina asked as she squinted her eyes.
Robin took in a breath before flipping the bacon with a fork and then turned around, leaned on the counter and looked at her. "Last night was whatever you want it to be." Robin said as Regina looked at him blankly, "But, I would like it to have been more then just a one night stand. I actually really like you."
Regina smiled now as she nodded. "Me too." Regina said, "Odd how a man can try and try and try for so long, and yet you come along and just after one night, I am hooked."
Robin's cheeks glowed that crimson red again as Regina spoke. How does a woman with such integrity and beauty fall for a guy like him? He had no idea, but he wasn't going to question it. He was going to enjoy it and that was exactly what he did. Every single day for the next month he would work through the day in his office along with David and meet her in the evening for dinner. Some nights she would stay and leave for work from his place and some nights she would go home.
The weekends were spent between friends, and each other and as time went on, Robin and Regina had fallen more and more in love. It was a Friday night as he sat where the couches were with his friends. He watched Regina dance along with Emma and Mary Margaret, catching her glance from time to time and she would throw him a smile in which he would return. Neal looked between the two before leaning over and slapping Robin's leg. Robin jumped as he quickly looked over towards him. "I thought you said once that you wouldn't let any woman take a hold of your heart." Neal said.
"Yeah, I believe he said that to me after he found out Mary Margaret and I were getting married." David said with a half smirk.
"I did say that." Robin said, before looking out towards Regina again, "But that was before I met her."
David, Neal, Killian and Jefferson all exchanged glances and then David kind of smiled as he looked towards Neal who smiled too. Robin may have said before that he would never fall in love, but they were glad that the blonde haired, blue eyed best friend of theirs did. The five of them had been friends for a number of years and they were just like a band of brother's.
Later that night, Robin sat with Regina in his condo on the couch as they played 21 Questions, a suggestion made by Regina and they were on their 14th question. "So, where are you from originally?" Regina asked, "I can tell you are not from here."
Robin chuckled as she laced his fingers with her's and gently played with her fingers. "Good ear." Robin said, "I am from London, England actually. Born and raised. How did you get in to your line of work?"
Regina, who worked with Jefferson, worked as a fashion designer's partner which basically meant she had to do all the running around, get the fabric and make sure everything was perfect. She had a team that helped which was where Jefferson came in, but it was still hard. "When I was a kid I was just always obsessed with fashion. For both men and women. I knew that some day I would work with it some how some way."
"Would you want to be a famous designer one day?" Robin asked.
"Hey..." Regina said, "My turn."
"Sorry." Robin said with a small chuckle.
"But yes." Regina said, "That is the dream. What about you? How did you get in to your line of work?"
Robin opened his mouth to speak but there was a knock on his door. He scrunched his eyes confused, seeing as the buzzer had never went off. How would one get in? "Hold that thought." Robin said as he slowly got up.
He walked over to his front door just as the person thudded again. "Mr Locksley!" He heard a deep voice say, "This is Officer Humbert with the Boston Police. Open up."
Regina stood quickly now, confusion written just as plain on her face as Robin's. Robin opened the door quickly as he looked at the Officer along with his partner. "Yes?" Robin asked.
"Robin Locksley?" Officer Humbert said, "You are under arrest for identity theft."
Robin blinked as he shook his head. "What are you talking about?" Robin asked.
Humbert walked in along with his partner. "We can do this the easy way or the hard, Mr /Locksley/, your choice." Humbert said as Robin shook his head and looked at Regina.
Regina stood, her jaw agape as Robin shook his head. "Please," He said, "Please don't say that you believe him. I am who I say I am."
Robin made his way towards Regina as Humbert grabbed him quickly and got him to the floor, knocking the wind out of the blonde's lungs. "What the hell?!" Robin exclaimed.
"Why did you do that?!" Regina demanded to know.
"To make sure he didn't harm you." Humbert said as he looked up at her, taking out his cuffs as he cuffed Robin's hands behind his back, "The real Robin came to us the other day with the complaint that he was using his identity. We looked in on it and found out that his real name is Jacob Hyde. A wanted man for multiple rapes and murders."
Regina shook her head as Humbert got off of Robin and then got him on his feet. Robin teared up as he looked at Regina. "Please, don't believe them Regina." Robin said as Regina held his gaze once more, "I would never hurt anyone. I don't even know who this Jacob is!"
Regina wanted to cry. She wanted to run in to this man's arms and have him hold her but that was not to be. Humbert pulled Robin as his partner got out of the way. Humbert taking him down the hall as his partner remained there and looked at Regina. "Ma'am." He said, "My name is Officer Thomas. I need your complete honesty. Did he ever hurt you in any way?"
Regina's dark eyes glared up at the young, blonde cop. "No." She said, her tone laced with anger.
Officer Thomas had quickly picked up on it as he gave her a nod. "You have a good evening ma'am." He said before walking out the door and closing it behind him.
A good evening? How the hell was she suppose to do that? They just took her boyfriend under false accusation's. But who would do this? Of course Regina hadn't believed it. Not for a second. But with everything going on all at once, she didn't know what to say to Robin. She didn't know what to do. And now, she needed to figure out how to get him out of this mess.
