So here is chapter two! Hope you enjoy xx
Regina entered her mansion in the late afternoon and started cooking dinner while she thought about what exactly had happened between her ant the sheriff this afternoon. Emma had acted different than before. Did she know anything? Did she have some kind of plan? It worried Regina. So much actually that she forgot to pick up Henry from school and he knocked on her door while she was trying to save the food she had been cooking, well trying to cook. She actually was a really great cook but it seemed like with the blonde on her mind she wasn't able to do anything anymore. She should really start controlling that. She walked towards the door and opened it, already knowing who was on the other side, since Mary Margaret had called her from school saying that she had forgotten to pick up Henry from school and that she would bring him over. Her son would probably hate her even more now.
"Henry." She breathed and she pulled him in for a hug. The boy pulled back sooner than she wanted and the look on his face said enough. He ducked under her arm and ran inside. She heard him drop his bag somewhere and ran up the stairs. Great. She turned her head and caught Mary Margaret's awkward gaze, the woman had no idea what to say. "Well.. thank you for bringing him over." She had trouble getting the words out of her mouth but she was proud of herself. Mary Margaret seemed surprised by it too as she was quiet for a couple of seconds before stuttering a 'thank you' and moving back to her vehicle and leaving quickly.
"Henry, please. I'm sorry, I was cooking dinner and I forgot." She said as she entered the boys room and sat on his bed where the boy was reading in his book. He didn't even look up. "Look, Miss Swan is coming over tonight and I was just worried about some things." She was again surprised by her honesty towards the boy, he had a weird affect on her. It also caught Henry's attention as he now looked up from the book and smiled, all happy and enthusiastic. "Emma is coming over?" He asked. She nodded. "Yeah, she is just dropping something, but it will probably be late so I don't know if you'll still be up." His smile faded and he went back to reading. Regina sighed, it was hard sometimes and it hurt her that Henry only seemed to be interested in what she had to say when it was about Emma. "Henry-" She started but he cut her off. "Are you worried that she will break your curse? She is the savior after all." Regina was caught off guard and opened her mouth but for a moment nothing came out. Then she frowned and stood up. "Will you stop that. It's ridiculous and it hurts me Henry." She turned around and felt her eyes get wet, she also didn't turn when she walked out of the door. "Dinner will be ready in ten minutes, I made your favorite."
Emma arrived home sooner than the day before, since it had been a slow day. When she entered Mary Margaret was just taking off her coat, clearly having arrived not that much sooner than her. "Long day at work?" She asked which caused the woman to look up at her and smile. "No, Regina forgot to pick up Henry so I had to drop him off at her place." Emma frowned, Regina never forgot to pick up Henry, she was always on time. "That's weird." She thought out loud as she grabbed some milk from the fridge and a glass from one of the cabin's. She sat down at one of the bar stools and looked at her roommate again. "Regina always picks him up. Was she okay?" She was worried that she had done something wrong this afternoon, maybe Regina didn't like her and Emma was just making everything worse by taking steps towards her.
She suddenly had doubts about going there tonight. "I don't know, she seemed okay. She thanked me." Emma raised her eyebrows which caused the brunette to chuckle. "I know. I thought so too." They both sipped their drinks and enjoyed the comforting silence for a moment or two before Mary Margaret pointed at the shirt lying on her counter. "What's that?" She asked. "Huh?" Emma asked before she followed the finger and noticed the blouse. She grabbed it and put it in her lap. "That's Regina's. I'm supposed to bring it over tonight but I don't know.. I think I'll just give it to Henry." Mary Margaret eyed her over, something was going on here. "Why?" She asked.
Emma fidgeted with the blouse in her lap. Should she tell the woman that she might have feelings for the fierce Mayor. I mean, it was a pretty big deal and she had no idea what her roommate was going to think of it. But going through all of this on her own was killing her, she needed someone to help her, someone to see it from a different angle. She needed advice and a friend. "Can I tell you something? " She asked, blushing. Mary Margaret smiled even though she couldn't see her, the blonde could be so sweet and soft sometimes. "Anything." Slowly Emma looked up. "I think I like someone." Mary Margaret's smile grew and she walked round the counter to sit on another bar stool and face her friend. "Oh really, who is he?" She said enthusiastically. Emma looked away again, this was harder than she had imagined. "Would it be okay, if it maybe wasn't.. a he.." she murmured.
Mary Margaret smiled and lifted her roommate chin with her finger. "Emma. Of course. I'm happy for you. Now-" She clapped her hands once. "Who is she?" The blonde was happy to have that first victory and felt braver now. She smirked and picked up the blouse to hold it a bit higher. Realization struck the brunette's face and it seemed like she didn't really know how to react as she sat there with her mouth open. "I don't really know what to say. I mean I never knew that the Mayor-" She couldn't finish her sentence because Emma interrupted –" I'm not sure actually, that's the problem." Mary Margaret nodded and continued, "so I'm guessing this whole blouse thing is part of your plan to win her over. I mean I admit she wasn't the first person that popped into my head when you told me, you know, but I guess it makes sense. The way you two stare at each other, the touches," She was silent and she rethought moment between the two. "So you've seen it too?" Emma said, smiling. Mary Margaret slowly put her hand on the other woman's arm. "I have and I think that you should continue this. If you don't you'll end up thinking 'what if' for the rest of your life. And seeing the moment of the year, I don't think you could have picked a better time."
She and Mary Margaret had spend the rest of the night talking about things between Emma and Regina and her plan. Mary Margaret had also told her about David plans. Emma had said that she thought it wasn't any fun if she knew all his plans but the brunette said she liked knowing what he was up too. The later it got, the more nervous Emma got, something she wasn't really used to feeling. And then she received a text from Regina.
Henry is still up. Madame Mayor.
That was all it said. She showed it to her friend and started pacing around the room. "She probably doesn't want me to come. She's politely saying it's not a good time and she just wants me to give it to Henry. She doesn't wanna see me, even if it is just for a couple of minutes." Mary Margaret tried to convince her friend otherwise but she had to admit that even she had no idea whatever that text was supposed to be saying and that made it harder to convince the blonde on going anyway. "Have you thought about texting her back?" She asked. "And say what 'okay so basically you're saying is I can't come over' I don't want to make things worse."
About ten minutes later Emma had finally agreed to sitting on the couch but she was still doubting what to do and she absolutely had no rest in her body. Her phone suddenly beeped and she almost ninja rolled herself towards it, grasping it from the table.
Well are you coming or what? I cannot let him stay up forever, he has to go to school tomorrow and he wants to see you before he has to go to bed. Madame Mayor.
She grinned and showed the message to Mary Margaret who laughed at her friend. She had never seen Emma this happy and open before. The blonde quickly responded.
Srry, coming. xEmma.
Her phone beeped again almost instantly.
Oh there is no need for that. Madame Mayor.
Emma almost choked on her own breath and her cheeks got all red. Mary Margaret grasped the phone from her friends hands and read the message. "I think she's flirting with you Emma." She pushed her friend towards the door and gave her back her phone. "Now, go on. Step two."
Emma knocked on the wooden door about ten minutes after the last text. It was opened by her son instead of the Mayor. "Emma." He said as he hugged her instantly. "Hey kid." She responded while she playfully rubbed her hand on his head and walked the two of them inside. "Where is your mom?" She asked when they entered the study. Henry shrugged and grabbed his school bag to show her some of his latest projects and grades. Henry was a really good student and Emma enjoined seeing his work but she was curious to where the Mayor was. Quickly she grabbed her phone from her pocket.
You knw I'm in your house already rght? xEmma.
She texted the Mayor while trying to listen to Henry.
Oh I'm sorry Miss Swan, I was in the shower and did not hear the door. Tell Henry to go to bed. I'll be down in a minute. Madame Mayor.
Emma couldn't help but gasping at the image of the hot Mayor in her shower but she could hold her arousal back because come on, there was a child in the room. Luckily the boy had just finished telling her about Paige and his Valentines plans. "Come on kid, you have to get to bed." He pouted at her before he gave in, hugged her and went upstairs. Emma heard Regina and Henry say goodnight to each other on the stairs and not that much later the Mayor walked into the study. Emma felt like she was drooling all over the place. The Mayor's hair was still damp and she wore a dress that Emma hadn't seen before. It was red and looked absolutely stunning on the woman. Hard to keep up to her plan right now. But she had too, this was the ultimate test. She stood up and pulled the blouse out of a bag that she had with her. "Here. Mary Margaret washed it so it is all fresh and ready to wear again." Regina smiled and took the bag from her. She opened her mouth but Emma was already walking towards the door. "What are you doing?" She asked, slightly anxious.
Emma smiled, it was working. She turned around again to face Regina. "I was bringing the blouse over, and I did-" She moved her hand on the doorknob, -"so I think I'm going again." She started twisting the doorknob and was almost afraid that she had indeed been wrong all that time. Luckily the older woman stopped her just in time. "Wait. Would you maybe like a drink, Miss Swan?"
Emma smiled. "I'd never say no to a drink with the Mayor."
Step two-succeeded.
Hope you liked it :) Thanks for the follows btw! I appreciate it!
