Chapter 3

Secret Love

Emma was in the hospital in emergency waiting room. The doctors had about four hours in surgery, to save Regina's life and she was already desperate. The blonde felt that life was missing along with her wife's.

It had been only three months since they had married and everything had seemed better in the last month. Emma knew that Regina had problems with a case, but she used to be very reserved and didn't like to share the details ethically.

She was remembering the moment she saw the brunette for the first time, in that exclusive place, and how she had defended Regina from the man who was harassing her. From that precise moment she knew that Regina Mills liked her very much, even though she knew almost nothing about her.

Their relationship was not always easy. She did not know who Regina was with before formalizing the relationship with her, but the blonde knew of this stormy romance, which almost brings Regina to madness. Everything had happened so fast. But the last six months had been different from the rest of the year, getting better and better.

Everyone said that they had united very fast. Emma never gave importance to those comments, since between them it seemed that they knew each other all their lives. They were soul mates, as they say. They complemented each other perfectly and that was noticed by all those who recommended going slowly.

I was thinking how beautiful Regina looked on the day of the wedding, when two New York police officers arrived

"Are you Mrs. Emma Swan, wife of Mrs. Regina Mills?" Asked the eldest of the detectives

"Yes, I am". She got up wiping away her tears. "But I've already told you everything I know. She thus arrived at the door of the house. You can ask the neighbor, who immediately came to help". She seemed tired of all that. She just wanted to focus on the brunette's state of health, for the time being. She had to fight to keep from crying again

"We know Mrs. Mills. We don't come for that. The detective affirmed. We found her wife's vehicle on the outskirts of the state, on the border with Main near from the margin of a river. We also found the weapon and we believe that it is the weapon with which Mrs. Mills was shot. There were also signs of struggle among other things"

"It means that you are going to find the person who shot Regina, because that is what interests me". She was upset. She needed answers to all that madness

"For the moment we are analyzing the evidence and seeing possible targets of the aggressor". He assured. "So far we have not found another DNA other than Mrs. Mills. We ask you to be calm". The man said this in the typical tone of police voice.

Many Years Ago

The ambulance took Regina to the hospital. There was evidence that Ruby had been attacked by the brunette. On the contrary, both had injuries to the head, product of a blunt blow, only which the blow that Regina received was very light compared to that of the other girl.

Ruby was showing signs of abuse and had been abandoned in the waterfall after her death. At that time it was presumed that to erase the evidence of abuse.

When Regina was better, her parents returned with her to the city. Her mother took charge of burying the whole thing for the journalists, and Regina's name didn't come to the surface and neither did the last name Mills.

Regina always suspected of her mother. Not because she believed that her mother had been the material executioner of the murder, but because she always felt that there was complicity in her actions.

A few months later, in a spectacular ceremony, Regina married Leopold White, just as her mother had planned, stealing her life from misery and heartbreak. Regina's first time, it was not as nice as she thought it would be.

It was never known who assaulted Ruby that night, but she always suspected one of the people attending her party. Regrettably, we never spoke again of the beautiful girl, who loved being under the light of the moon.

Regina never returned to the country house. When she took over the family's property, she was tempted to sell it, but something stronger than her will stopped her.

A year ago

Regina didn't want to leave that room behind her double. She just could not. She observed that the woman had a mini bar in her dressing room. She could barely stand in the hall of the dressing room without being seen. From there he watched the show of Roni, her double.

She danced like an expert and she was the one who dominated in that place. She seemed to be the favorite of many and of course she was beautiful. She was an imposing woman and with great confidence. She seemed to please both men and women.

Then it was that she could stop looking at Roni and she noticed that blonde who had defended her hours before. The girl seemed fascinated with the dance that the brunette was doing. She found the way they both related so sexy. That made her feel excited. For some strange reason he was attracted to both of them, which meant he was going crazy.

"You're going crazy Regina Mills, crazy!" She watched with passion as Roni devoted herself only to that blonde. "Emma!" He whispered, remembering his name.

When the presentation of that twin ended, she sneaked back to Roni's dressing room. There she waited for him. Why did it bother her just as it pleased her that Roni flirted with Emma? It was a strange feeling, but because she did not know which of those two young women she was jealous of. She decided to take a big drink of Whiskey at once. She was already quite drunk, but she didn't think that was hindering her judgment.

"Did you enjoy the show?" Said Roni, entering semi naked to the dressing room

"I didn't see it. I stayed here in the dressing room, to tell you when you arrived that this is absurd". She lied. "So I say goodbye to you once and for all". She was about to leave the dressing room when she felt Roni taking her by the arm

"Why do you lie Regina?" She smiled at him maliciously. "Maybe you think that I didn't see you ... But of course I saw you! I know that you like how I moved". She took her to sit down again on the sofa in that room. "And I saw how you looked at the blonde..."

"Don't mess with her!" Regina seemed disturbed

"So she likes you too!" She laughed smugly and ironically. "You're a little perverted Regina Mills. You looks me up and down and it seems that you feel superior... But we are the same garbage". She sat in front of her mirror to remove the mask and change makeup. She saw it through the mirror

"She is just a girl I barely know her name". Regina confessed, after a few minutes of silence. "She has nothing to do with us". They looked through the mirror

"So finally you accept it... That you and I are equal". She smiled complacently and continued changing her clothes

"We are... It's what I'm trying to tell you". She got up and went to Roni to face her. "Don't you find it strange?

"Don't!" The young woman answered, convinced of how wonderful that was. Finally I feel calm, since I now know that there is someone who understands me, who understands exactly how I am and that I don't have to hide... And that person likes me". She said shamelessly, getting even closer to Regina. "And she likes me... A lot!"

She stared a few seconds without saying anything. Their looks were intense. The breathing of both women was somewhat accelerated. Obviously Regina was more exalted than Roni, for whom everything seemed to be very natural. Then, like a flash in the middle of her drunkenness, it occurred to Regina to take the first step and kiss Roni passionately.

They kissed with great need. They were in need of the wildest passion and the most sincere affection. Roni took Regina back to the couch, only this time it was not for her to sit down, but to make love to her. Obviously they knew each other perfectly. They liked exactly the same things, and the amount of pleasure they experienced was infinite.

Regina didn't know when she fell asleep, while she felt Roni's embrace. She was still very drunk and it was already early morning when she woke up. Someone knocked on the door. There were no signs of Roni, just a note on the dresser.

"I go!" It was what she came up with to say, a little scared. She went straight to grab the mask. She put it on and dressed in a silk robe. Then she opened the door ajar. "Yes?"

"You were fantastic Roni!" That man, of extravagant appearance, entered without asking permission. "Your first Show was great, but the second one was fantastic. All go crazy!"

She understood that Roni was not there, because she had had to go out to do the second show. She was flattered to think that Roni had made the best of her shows after making love with her.

"Oh ... Thank you!" She made a sound like she was sick in the throat

"What's up with you baby? Since when are you so humble and modest?" The man laughed and started to leave. "That man at table 17 had you in his sights." He gave her a wink and left.

Regina sighed, leaning against the door of Roni's dressing room. She dressed and straightened her hair. For some reason she was radiant. Regina was beginning to live that secret love she had so longed for and that life had denied her. She felt relaxed and motivated, but she had to leave that place without being seen.

The brunette went to the dresser and took the note that Roni had left. She was not exactly a poet, but she had left a few words of love with the lyrics surprisingly attached to hers. The last words made her feel jealous: "I didn't want to wake you up even though I had to leave. I had to serve a client. See you tomorrow beautiful double".

Regina dressed in a hurry but she also felt some sadness, since she did not like to relate in that way. She did not know what had happened to her with Roni, but a supernatural force impelled her to her.

She sneaked out again, only this time she went out the side door, into the alley where she had run into the young dancer. It was still dark. When she checked her watch, it was four in the morning.

She walked to the main street and looked at the entrance of that exculsive place. Elle started walking towards her office, since in that establishment was her vehicle. She was approaching that door where he saw her, laughing and radiant.

"Regina!" The girl exclaimed cheerful "Are you?"

Emma seemed to have had a lot of fun. She was expecting a taxi apparently, in the company of her friends. She looked beautiful in her dress and casual style.

"Oh, Miss Emma". She gave him a nod with a greeting. "Yes, it's me... Did you have fun?" She stopped in front of the blonde and she placed her hands in the pockets of her coat. Emma's friends looked at her curiously, as she was a very elegant and beautiful woman.

"Yes! There were two dances that captivated me... And where did you go that you missed them? If it is not intrusion". The blonde was impulsive. But Regina liked her and gave her confidence

"Well, I was there". She didn't know what else to answer. She clearly imagined that the two dances to which the blonde was referring were Roni's and that she didn't like. "I'm already going home Miss Emma, I thank you again for defending me". At that moment the girl's taxi arrived

"I'm leaving too". Said the girl, saying goodbye to her friends. She saw the woman make the intention to keep walking. "Regina wait!" She had to take advantage of the moment

"Yes Miss Emma?" She turned again to look at the young woman

"It is dangerous for a woman as beautiful as you to walk alone through the streets of this city and at this time of night. Why don't you take my taxi?" She approached the brunette

"I feel sorry for you, Emma. Also, I'm going here, two blocks away, to find my car". She told the blonde, giving her a sweet smile

"Well then let's share it for two blocks, if it doesn't bother you". She opened the door of the taxi and she waved her hand to come up. "It's an Uber, so you'll be safe. Also, I'm here to defend you. Remember?" The girl gave a wink to the older one.

Emma was extremely tender, so she was embarrassed to refuse the girl's gesture of sharing the taxi. So after meditating a couple of seconds, Regina stood in front of the blonde, she smiled at Emma and then got into the taxi without saying anything else.

Emma couldn't believe her luck. That woman was a beautiful dream and now she was sharing a taxi with that spectacular brunette. Effectively walked the two blocks and stopped to leave the brunette. Emma got out to say goodbye and extended her hand to the brunette.

"Goodbye Regina!" It was seen that this woman was really successful, because of the luxurious office building where they stopped.

"Goodbye Emma". Regina gave her hand, then a strong hug to the blonde who remained in shock. Regina also kissed her on the cheek and she turned to go to her office.

Emma took a few seconds to react and to turn back to the taxi. She put her hand to her cheek and could still smell the delicious smell of the woman's perfume. Then she listened to her again

"Emma, wait!" The brunette was running back to the blonde. "Where do you live?"

"What?" She was disoriented

"Where do you live?" She asked the girl again, while she came to the window of the taxi driver. "You can leave her here, sir, and excuse me". She dismissed the girl's taxi and she still didn't react. "The least I can do for you is take you home, after you defended me tonight". She smiled widely.

"Oh my god! Regina thank you very much but you didn't have to bother. I live on the outskirts of the Upper East Side"

"And I live in Upper East Side too. This is a lucky coincidence. Come ... I'll take you to your house". She took it from her hand, and she guided her to her vehicle.

Emma had been imagining thousands of situations with the brunette since she first saw her. That kiss she gave Regina to hide in that luxurious place. But she never imagined herself riding in the woman's car on the way home. What if she dared to invite her to her house?

"Maybe we could talk for a while?" Regina said, as she drove her lavish Mercedes road to the Upper East Side. Of course, if you don't have any problem with it... The brunette looked briefly at the blonde.

"We can talk all our lives if you like Regina". The woman had taken the first step and she would not miss it.
