A little less seeing and a little more feeling 3
*disclaimer* I don't own once upon a time or the characters.
I have a feeling most of you will like what I did. Regina's career is...? Read and let me know if you like it.
Im sorry for the small chapter I have a busy day. Maybe more later.
If I hadn't been there myself I wouldn't have believed the kind of date I just had. If I had been and on looker I would have heard a ton of laughter because I'm the funny one and saw a lot of blushing because she's the charmer. The dinner had been ordered and Regina had my hand in hers which led to me letting her keep it there. I like knowing she was in front of me and close. The soft touch didn't leave until the food arrived even then our endless conversation didn't stop. Not really even between bites we managed.
"So what do you teach?" Regina asked and I swallowed before answering.
"theory of behavior. Psychology stuff. What kind of business do you own?" I ask now that it's my turn.
"funny should ask actually I own, run, and have cooked in this ery restaurant. As well as a few hotels my mother and father left in my name before they pasted away."
"You're shitting me, please tell me you're kidding. You own...what's the name of this place again? You own this place?" I choked out but internally I was screaming my vows already.
"It's called Mills's steakhouse and banquet. I made all the banquet dishes and a very close friend helped make all the grilled dishes." What I wouldn't give to have a taste of her cooking. I was very impressed, very stunned, and unable to stop smiling at my clever perfect date. I kept putting pieces together which only made me have more questions.
"So you left work to take me to a date at your work and while you're here with me your son is at home with?" Maybe it was to much but her obvious interest in me has me baffled.
"Said very close friend is watching him. They get along very well and I trust only two people with him so long. My friend Robin who is watching him now and my other best friend Katherine. Trust me if it was her tonight you would should be glad you don't have to meet and deal with endless interrogation questions."
"so Robin helped you?" She hummed a yes busy chewing her food. "And Henry get to have you cook for him except for to night and your food tastes this good if not better. I'm am going to hell for depriving him of heaven aren't I." I joked which I was glad she ended up laughing because I would have been to embarrassed to breath ever again if she hadn't.
"well when you put it that way yes I believe he would be offended if he knew. Let's just be grateful he is very much to small to miss it much." Regina must be at least inches away from my face but I try to ignore it since I already kissed her on the cheek once I didn't want to push my luck. Though I really did want to and chance pressing my lips on hers.
"He must be sweet boy."
"He is just like my father. I named him Henry after my father." She was smiling I could hear the change in her voice when she talked about her father or son.
"I'd love you meet him one day then." I can only hope that didn't sound weird. When she said of course I really felt excited to one day.
"Perhaps if you find the night pleasing enough that you would do this again." My body tingles at the word pleasing but I shook it off.
By the end of the date I was so talked out and so happy the drive home was much more relaxing. With Regina owning the restaurant I hardly could fight for the bill when she told her employing to not listen to me least they wanted to be cut on hours or their job. It was then I could tell she had fire. She wasn't all good and kindness but fierce and strong it was alluring. She was formal by nature but it seemed I too made her stray from what came to her naturally.
Regina had me on the edge of control and losing it. Her presence dangerously distracting and tempting me the entire night. In the car I had the urge to take her hand not out of panic but just to feel it again because I didn't know what tonight meant now that it was over and she was pulling up to my house. She led me to my door with one more question on her tongue.
"Can I kiss you?" She asked and I responded with a question as well.
"Can I take you somewhere next time?" I didn't hear her answer but I took her lips on mine as a yes. A big yes when her lips and mine parted slightly just to press back together moments later and continue for minutes. Her hands held on to my elbows once more in a guiding motion. I felt the fabric of her shirt an under that her waist. There my hands sat. She really was slim, my face only had to tilt up because of her heels so she was a little tall, and her lips were soft against mine. They were the sexiest lips I've ever felt. Damn Ruby was right this woman was just what she said and so much more.
"We can do whatever you want next time it's only fair since I took over today." She said in huff just in front of my lips our foreheads pressed together. I chuckled because even though she had it was now the best day of my life.
"Yes. Yes you did but it was really worth letting you. It was refreshing to feel like I could like I really wanted to trust someone for once." I stated hoping to show her just how different than myself she makes me feel as well. She kiss me one more time and says goodnight but I don't hear her drive away until I'm inside and my lights are on. She was making sure I was safe before leaving for the night. It literally was only making my heart melt faster.
Rafik woke as I entered the house and like a nosing best friend barked excitedly. Like I would spill my guts about the night. He was to caring for his own good but I knew he was happy I was home safe and in a good mood. I patted his head and scratched his neck as I walked to our room I curled up in bed, dress, thrown in the hamper, and Rafik on the foot of the bed head up as if still waiting. My resolve broke as I closed my eyes and felt my body vibrate from my joy.
"Oh Rafik she might just be the most perfect woman I have ever met." Is was a giddy whisper but Rafik gave an approving bark before laying his head down both of us calling it a night."
Reviews please!
Is it weird how Emma and Rafik are so close. I think it's sweet I wish I had a dog that could get me like that. Also did anyone like my Regina taking her to the restaurant she owns. So there you have a bother chapter and Regina is still her super chief like self plus incredibly charming its kind of a given Emma is falling for her.
Will Emma be able to keep her life together or does she have to deal with one good thing and a million new problems popping out of no where?
oh and who wants Robin to be a woman or male? An one want a Daniel back story?
