Chapter 3: I don't think I deserve someone like you…

Previously…

He couldn't do this to Regina. To his Regina. But this is the right thing to do. This is the only way to keep her safe. He will do everything to keep her safe even if includes breaking her precious heart. Seeing Regina like this is breaking his heart too but he needs to be strong if he wants to protect her. So if protecting her means breaking his own heart he would take it. He would take everything because that's how much he loves her.

Today they said hello to each other again after years of being apart.

Today Robin will say goodbye to the woman he loves to protect her.

"I'm so sorry Regina." It was all Robin could say. He is breaking the heart of the woman he loves. The sight of Regina sobbing in front of him makes him feel like the worst person in the world right now. He is fighting himself to take her in his arms and comfort her, telling her that everything will be alright and that they could be together.

But that would be a complete lie. He will only fool himself thinking that there is a chance of them being together. He is her bodyguard. That is all he is. So no matter how much he wants her, there is so much between them. So the only thing he could do is love her from a far. And protect her will all his life.

Regina was still crying. The pain from the rejection of the only man she loves was heartbreaking. She couldn't believe this is really happening. Her Robin doesn't want to be with her. All her life all she ever dreamed of was to be with Robin. To be loved by Robin. But now they couldn't be together because he fucking needs to protect her. She gets that he wants to protect her but what she doesn't understand is why they couldn't be together. He could still protect her even when they are together. What was his problem anyway?!

Once she calmed down from her cries she furiously wiped the tears that fell from eyes. She looks at him like she was going to kill him from because of everything he just said. But Robin knew better that behind that glare he could see the hurt that she is feeling right now. He is about to get a taste of the evil queen side of her.

"So that's it. You can't be with me because you will be my bodyguard and that you need to protect me. That is all bullshit Robin!" Regina yelled at him. The pain that she was feeling was completely forgotten and was replaced by anger and frustration.

"Regina, you don't understand-" Robin started but was cut off by Regina.

"I do understand Robin! I know that you want to protect me and all but do you really have to make yourself suffer? To make ME suffer? Do you have to keep your feelings from me to do your job? You can protect me Robin. You don't have to sacrifice your feelings when we could be together while you're protecting me."

"Regina, you don't know how much I want to be with you but there is so much at risk. You are the President's daughter and I am just your bodyguard. It is my responsibility to protect you. I wouldn't let my love for you get in the way of me protecting you. I love you so much Regina. I would do everything to protect you. I would risk my life for you. I don't think I deserve someone like you." Robin confessed, taking her face in his hand cupping her cheeks. Their eyes are locked with each other.

Regina leaned into his touch loving his warm hands on her face. His gaze makes her dizzy, like she was sent to heaven just by looking at him.

"Robin, don't say that! I love you too. You said you love me. I just… I want to be with you. Is that too much to ask?" Regina said in a broken voice. She looked up to him with tears in her eyes. They had said I love you to each other now but why does it seem so hard for them to be together.

"Regina, I would give anything to be with you." Robin replied hating the way she sound so small with her question. He hates himself for putting her in such pain.

"Then don't hold back. Let's be together. Please Robin, I'm not asking for the world. I just want you." Regina pleaded. She just got him back but it feels like he is slowly slipping through her fingers and she couldn't do anything about it. She can't lose Robin. Now that she knows he loves her she will not let him go. Not now, not ever.

"I-" Robin started but was cut off by the knock on the door. He pulled away from her, missing her soft skin.

Regina groaned at the person who was knocking at the door. Does that person have anything better to do than to disturb them right now? She missed Robin's touch and the warmth of his body against her.

She walked to the door and opened it to speak to the person who disturbed them.

"What is it?" Regina hissed at the intruder who was obviously not aware of the situation he or she had interrupted.

"Miss Regina, the dinner will be ready soon. And your mother is looking for you." The intruder said politely.

Regina sighed as she knew that their conversation had to wait.

"Okay, we will be there. Thank you." Regina said politely. She closed the door turning back to talk to Robin but she can see that he is avoiding her eyes.

"Robin-" she walked up to him trying to reach for his hand to hold but he was fast to avoid her touch as he walked past her reaching for the door before saying

"We need to go. Your mother is waiting for you." Robin said in a cold voice. And with that she was me met by a slam of the door.

At the dinner table Regina tried so hard to stop looking at Robin like she wants to eat him out but it was a difficult task knowing how much she crave for the man. They still have a lot to talk about. She still need to convince him. But it seems like it won't be that easy as Robin is known to be a stubborn person. But she is determined to get him. She won't give up on him.

Once the dinner was done she thought of talking to Robin again but all she saw was him walking out of the dinner table not even uttering a single word to her.

It was already late when she went out of her room to find Robin. It was a difficult task when she doesn't even know where he was staying especially when there are like hundreds of room in this mansion. Regina tried looking for him when she bumped to Robin's father.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking." Regina apologized to the man.

"It's okay. What were you looking for at this hour?" Robin's father asked her softly.

Regina looked down contemplating if she should just ask him or would it be too embarrassing.

Damn it! I really need to find Robin. So screw it!

"Uhmm…Well…I was looking for Robin actually." Regina said softly to the man still looking down.

"At this hour? Why? Is it important?" the man interrogated. She doesn't know what excuse she would say.

"I…I couldn't really sleep. So, I just want someone to talk to." Regina replied shyly.

"Oh, well his room is next to mine. I'm actually heading there. Let me walk you there." The man offered.

Now, she was standing outside his room she couldn't help but feel the anxiety she was feeling. It's now or never. She knocked on the door softly waiting for Robin to answer. She then was met by the most handsome man she had ever seen. He was wearing a shirt and his boxers and she couldn't help but admire his body. She was broken from her thoughts by Robin.

"Regina? What are you doing here?"

"Can I talk to you? Please?" Regina asked the blue eyed man.

She heard him sigh but opened the door gesturing her to come inside his room.

Regina sat on the edge of the bed. It looks like he was sleeping already and had disturbed his slumber.

"I just wanted to talk about us." Regina started. She could that he has his walls again.

"There is no us Regina." Robin stated in a cold voice. She was shocked at his words. It wasn't her Robin that was talking.

"Robin, what are you taking about?" Regina asked and the fear in her voice was pretty obvious.

"Regina-"

"NO! Cut the crap Robin! Stop saying that we can't be together! You just keep making excuses to avoid being with me!" Regina exclaimed. She was tired of hearing his excuses. Her frustration got the best of her.

Why does he keep making things complicated?! It was all just him making excuses and I'm tired of it!

"Shhh. Don't yell. Someone might hear us." Robin said calmly. He can see that she is angry now so he tried to calm her down.

"I'll yell as loud as I want!" She shouted again. Her anger towards him is getting the best of her.

"Fine! Yell as much as you want! Do whatever you want! I'm not stopping you!" Robin snapped at her. He can feel the frustration building inside him and he couldn't stop it.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes. The hurt she was feeling was too much for her to handle.

Robin can see the hurt in her eyes so he gave up the fight and pulled her in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her tightly like she was going to disappear while kissing her head.

Regina was surprised when Robin grabbed her to pull her in an embrace that she was desperately needs. She felt safe in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist hugging him back.

They enjoyed the moment that they need, feeling safe in each other's arms. They stayed like that for a few more minutes before Robin broke the warm silence between them.

"I love you Regina."

"I love you too. So much." Regina whispered as she buried her face on his chest.

They don't know what will happen next. But they are happy to have each other.

For Regina, what matters is that Robin is here now. And she will do everything to make him see that their love was enough.

And for Robin, he loves Regina so much he will give her everything. He hopes that his love is enough to conquer every obstacle that will come their way.
